  • Laura [05:55]: “But are they…not investigating Renee’s murder?”

Notable Moment

Key Points

• Rosenberg and Ebro debate the reliability of both traditional media outlets and independent online creators:
  • Ebro [09:00]: “We are them now.”

  • A debate about selectively clipped content online fueling outrage on both political sides.

---

Israel/Gaza, October 7th, and Historical Narratives [28:48–36:41]

Key Points

• Doubts expressed over official Israeli narratives about surveillance lapses on October 7th.
  • Ebro [31:35]: “They say a bird can’t fly across that area...they can pick up birds flying.”

---

White Supremacy, Dog Whistles, and Got Milk? [36:41–45:21]

Key Points

• The hosts are shocked and disturbed by the history, noting white supremacists’ dog-whistling through milk imagery.

Notable Quote

“That’s the thing you want to show off about — is the ability to drink milk from other animals?”
—Rosenberg [34:34]

---

Content Creator Politics: Rogan, Schultz, Theo Von, ICE [45:21–52:18]

Key Points

• Ebro calls out Joe Rogan, Andrew Schulz, Theo Von and others for aiding or platforming extremists/shady politics, then “dancing away” from responsibility:

Key Points

• Ebro and Rosenberg express alarm over the rapid escalation of white supremacist and fascist rhetoric/policies under Trump.
• “Project 2025” is called out as the right’s extreme agenda, which Ebro claims he’s long warned about:
  • Ebro [47:14]: “A lot of times I want to be wrong… Unfortunately, I’ve been right too many times when it comes to this Trump and this white supremacy and these Nazis and this fascism thing.”
• Strong words about the billionaire-enabled collapse of American “decorum” and the real stakes for vulnerable communities.

---

Kai Cenat & Mental Health [60:12–62:40]

Key Points

• Laura highlights viral clips of streamer Kai Cenat discussing self-doubt and mental health with his mother.
• The team debates where ‘self-doubt’ fits into mental health; Ebro asks if self-doubt alone is a mental health issue or just normal.
• They affirm the value of such vulnerability, especially for young people and public figures.

Notable Moment

“He’s just being vulnerable and telling the world...he went through a public breakup... People were just giving him a lot of love for being so vulnerable and open…”
—Laura Styles [58:51]

---

Drewski’s Church Parody & Religion [62:40–67:10]

Key Points

• The hosts analyze Drewski’s viral parody of flashily-dressed pastors “flying” through megachurches:
  • Real-life preachers do similarly outlandish stunts, and even parishioners find them comical.
• Debate over whether the skit is offensive to the faithful or just satirizing exploitative church figures.
• Rosenberg: being easily offended is a feature of religious humor, not a bug.

---

Relationship Dilemma in the Gurus Segment [67:10–79:20]

Key Points

• A woman writes in about dating two men (one local, one long-distance with a child), now wanting to focus on the local after they slept together.
• The team’s advice is pragmatic:
  • Rosenberg urges honesty: “Tell [long-distance guy] you’re seeing other people.” [76:02]
  • Laura suggests she needs to make a clear choice, considering logistics and depth of commitment.
• Ebro injects humor, but also notes the ambiguity that comes with “virtual” relationships.

• Kai Cenat: Recap (as above) — mental health, public vulnerability.
• Drewski’s Preacher Skit: Recap of earlier discussion.
• Lowdown: Judge dismisses Chris Brown’s $500M suit over a documentary he called defamatory; the court ruled it was fair and true.

---

Memorable Moments & Quotes

• Ebro (on Rogan & ICE):
  “You was doing the dance. Joe Rogan, get into the bag, baby. Oh, now you got a problem?” [41:14]
• Laura (on white supremacist dog-whistles):
  “It’s the first time I came across your algorithm, but… I didn’t know this. Those pictures are wild.” [34:25]
• Ebro (on Project 2025):
  “I want to be wrong. … Unfortunately, I’ve been right too many times when it comes to this Trump and this white supremacy and these Nazis and this fascism.” [47:14]
• Laura (on Drewski’s parody):
  “It's so funny.” [63:21]
• Rosenberg (relationship advice):
  “Tell them the truth or get to hoeing, like Laura Stylez suggests—go out there, test the D!” [78:09]

---

Episode Tone and Style

• Highly energetic, fast-paced, and brash.

[Ebro Darden]

At for work. I get paid to talk and then I'm done talking.

[Rosenberg]

Laura, he means he doesn't want to talk other people in his personal life. He just wants to start going at 6:30.

[Ebro Darden]

I talk to my family. That's about it.

[Rosenberg]

I gotta find out how much you talk because the way you, the way you describe it, it sounds like you don't talk.

[Ebro Darden]

No, no, no, we talk. We actually do talk a lot.

[Rosenberg]

Lot.

[Ebro Darden]

I mean, me and Jazz talk all the time. Me, Issa talk a lot. Listen, I have a. I have an 11 year old. We got. It's talking, it's talking that needs to happen. School talk, interest talk, you know, health and wellness talk.

[Rosenberg]

Forcing her to talk about the things she doesn't want to talk about. Talk.

[Ebro Darden]

What do you mean?

[Rosenberg]

That's important talk. When you're, when you have an 11 year old, right?

[Ebro Darden]

No, you can't force. Can't force. Can't force.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, but you know, I don't mean force, but I mean you, you push the conversations. Let's chat, let's see what's going on.

[Ebro Darden]

But you have to be like. You just got to be cool. Like, yo, you had a good day. What was your favorite part of today? You know what was. What'd you hate today? Who got on your nerves today? You know that kind of stuff, like where it's not just like a generic question and you Hope that an 11 year old knows how to fill up a convo. You kind of gotta like walk, walk them through it.

[Laura Styles]

Wait, Ebro. So did Issa like communicate very well at five? Because I asked Kenza, how was your day?

[Ebro Darden]

Good.

[Laura Styles]

What did you learn today?

[Ebro Darden]

Nothing.

[Laura Styles]

I'm like, what do you mean nothing? So we have to sit there and be like, you mean nothing? I. I have to make her tell me about her day, and she's looking.

[Ebro Darden]

But that's why you got to ask the question in a way that requires them. I don't recall Issa being, like, super emotive unless you kind of, like, set the stage for her to, you know, share. Like, what did you and your friends laugh about today? You know what I mean?

[Laura Styles]

You got to kind of specific.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah. You got to drill in with them to kind of. Because they don't know how to. They don't know how.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, I just asked for specific things, and finally she was giving me that. All right, I'll tell you.

[Ebro Darden]

I'm like, yeah, but they'll come, you know, at least. Issa. Issa. You'll ask. And if it's a generic question, she kind of will give you a generic answer. She's kind of always been like that. But then we'll be talking about something else, and then it'll just start to come out. Like, once her brain is going, she'll be like, yo, you know what happened today? Oh, my God.

[Rosenberg]

Right?

[Ebro Darden]

You know, I think it's. That's like normal human beings and kids. Anyways. Ebro. Laura Rosenberg, good morning. We got a lot to cover today.

[Laura Styles]

Good morning.

[Ebro Darden]

Trump. Trump arguing with a Ford worker. Trump at the microphone hacking. The Trump administration is investigating Renee Good's widow. Did you guys hear this story?

[Laura Styles]

No.

[Ebro Darden]

Rosenberg.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

See this?

[Rosenberg]

Yes.

[Ebro Darden]

Six agents. Six agents have resigned because a court. According to reports, they're pushing to investigate her widow. That's right. The woman who had nothing to do with her own wife being murdered by an ICE agent.

[Laura Styles]

Bro.

[Ebro Darden]

They're now trying to launch an investigation into her. Hit the button.

[Laura Styles]

Wait. And correct me if I'm wrong.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations. You played yourself.

[Laura Styles]

But are they. And they are not investigating Renee's murder?

[Ebro Darden]

Well, no. The FBI has taken control of the investigation, according to what I read, and will not let local individuals. Local. What do they call that?

[Rosenberg]

Authorities.

[Ebro Darden]

Authorities. Be involved. Yeah, but FBI. Yeah.

[Laura Styles]

Still there. That's right, still there.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, you're God.

[Laura Styles]

All right, hit the button.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations. Well played yourself.

[Ebro Darden]

And this. They say the same day that. What was the guy's name that killed Renee Good?

[Rosenberg]

Jonathan Ross.

[Ebro Darden]

Jonathan Ross. They say the same day that he murdered this woman, he. There's pictures of him and masked agents moving his stuff out of his house.

[Laura Styles]

I saw that, too.

[Rosenberg]

Not to mention, a new video comes out every hour, it seems, with a. A different ICE officer in Minneapolis. Someone. Didn't you learn from what happened?

[Ebro Darden]

Wait, more than one? I've only seen that one.

[Rosenberg]

No, no, I saw another one. So I'm exaggerating, but I've seen two.

[Laura Styles]

Which is too much.

[Rosenberg]

Which is the officer going, you, you didn't learn from what happened.

[Laura Styles]

So wild.

[Ebro Darden]

Hit the button.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations. You played yourself.

[Ebro Darden]

So apparently Jonathan Ross wasn't too injured to go move, make sure stuff was moved out of his house.

[Rosenberg]

He wasn't. I thought he was so, so hurt. No, no, because he got run over by the car. Everyone, everyone told me not get run over by a car. You know what I was going to say about that too. Every single human being basically on earth who was ever a kid hanging out with other teenagers had a moment where you were that quote, hit by a car. I'm just going to say he wasn't hit by a car. He wasn't. Literally. Like you've been a dumbass before and basically been hit by a car that much. It wasn't hit by a car. You were holding a cell phone, standing in front of a car when someone decided to drive away, and then you jumped out of the way, but you weren't hit. Look, don't you see? When that new video came out, people act like it was a mic drop.

[Laura Styles]

I know.

[Rosenberg]

Look at this footage from his phone. I'm like, all I see is his jacket getting ruffled. What are you telling me that I saw?

[Ebro Darden]

It's all algorithm hustling, man. They throw things into the algorithm, ad hashtags, people, these whack accounts, all of these bots, paid accounts, whatever you want to call them, stuff up like it's a real story. It catches the algorithm and starts moving around. Hit the button, we all fall for it.

[Laura Styles]

Anything to justify congratulations.

[Button Sound Effect]

You play well.

[Rosenberg]

You definitely live in the world of I, and I end up in it now too. I try to avoid it, though. On the other side, the content creators who just, like, talk about things. Yes, that's some of the black mirror of this whole thing. Like our, our, like you, like, there are content creators who we don't even literally know their education level, what they do. We don't know anything about them. And we see them more than we see credible journalists. Well, how about staring at their camera telling us what's what and we don't know what they know.

[Ebro Darden]

Hit the button.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations, you played yourself.

[Ebro Darden]

We are them there now.

[Rosenberg]

I know, I know.

[Ebro Darden]

We are there.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations.

[Rosenberg]

Well, except we're not going to do it is a little different because the content I'm referring to is like the specific think pieces. Yeah, like I'm staring at the Camera. And I'm breaking down a story so I can have it move all around. Because I'm algorithm hustling.

[Ebro Darden]

That's right.

[Rosenberg]

Because. Because honestly, even the ones that are good, even the ones that we like, even the, the Aaron Rupert, whatever the guy's name is on, on Twitter or the guy you guys like on Instagram, all.

[Ebro Darden]

You mean Aaron Parness?

[Rosenberg]

No, Aaron Parnas is the Instagram one. Aaron Rupert is the big Twitter one who does like.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh God. Okay.

[Laura Styles]

Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Rosenberg]

Even the ones who we happen to agree with, it's still mostly algorithm hustling. It's still mostly. I'm gonna give.

[Ebro Darden]

So now. So now let's be honest. We live in a time. So you're saying that we live in a time where you can't trust cbs.

[Rosenberg]

No.

[Ebro Darden]

You can't trust the outlets that you claim were the trustworthy outlets. Many of them have been co opted to be partisan. Right.

[Rosenberg]

So we have nowhere.

[Ebro Darden]

So and so you're saying, oh, we can't trust these people who are putting out content on the island.

[Rosenberg]

We couldn't trust them.

[Ebro Darden]

Not trust. But whatever. We don't know their background. But also we don't know the background of the people in the federal government.

[Rosenberg]

Well, that's.

[Ebro Darden]

We don't know. We don't know. So really, it is really about who's doing a good job at being at providing information, who's thorough. And I think over time you get to see someone like the, you know, I watched the Midas Touch or Aaron Parness. I'm glad Don Lemon is, is back on Instagram.

[Rosenberg]

I'm still good on Don Lemon.

[Ebro Darden]

I like Don.

[Laura Styles]

Me too.

[Rosenberg]

I'm not saying this right now. Don wasn't black. Ebro's out. I just want everyone to know this is, this is racist. White people don't like him.

[Ebro Darden]

No, but I know I've met him multiple times. He supported me and I like him.

[Rosenberg]

So how did he support you?

[Ebro Darden]

He's invited me on his show before. He supported our show before. He did? Yeah, I was on CNN with him.

[Rosenberg]

No, no, but he supported our show.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, of course he's talked about our show before.

[Rosenberg]

He did.

[Ebro Darden]

Yes.

[Laura Styles]

Why don't you like a Rosenberg?

[Rosenberg]

I just think he's smarmy and gross and I. The same reason everyone didn't like him when he first came out. And he, he like, he switched up his style. But he used to be like, I'm here at the protest and I smell weed.

[Ebro Darden]

No, that's when people started disliking he had been around long before that.

[Rosenberg]

Also. I did his show, too, and by the way.

[Ebro Darden]

By the way.

[Rosenberg]

Checked out. He's like. I. I found him to be, like, in my. In my only experience with him, to be just very disconnected. And, like, I was just there, and I'm like, I'm not talking to this human being. This human being is here, and he's asking questions. I not talking to him.

[Ebro Darden]

Wayne's World joint.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, bro. It was. And, like, listen, he probably cared more about you, but when was there. He was literally like, No, I know.

[Ebro Darden]

When I was there, I. When I was there, I annoyed him because I started talking to him about growing out his afro while he was trying to have a serious.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, so you. You took. You took him out? I didn't.

[Ebro Darden]

I was like, yo, man, you've got realistic. Your hair got longer. You threw this. Remember when he was growing his fro out a little bit? He was like, yeah, well, no, he.

[Rosenberg]

Bro, that was. I believe. I remember now. I believe that was in direct response to people being mad at him for being at the Ferguson protest and being like, I'm here with rapper Talib Kweli and I'm smelling marijuana. And people were like, wait, black? And then he started growing an afro. I'm pretty.

[Ebro Darden]

Look, I've. I like him so, you know, look just like us or just like any other person that we like. In media, there's things that we don't like.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, no, no, for sure. He's not my fate. His tone. But. But listen, there are people I like and don't like. For example, I generally really like Tor, but I can't stand the way he whispers on everything.

[Ebro Darden]

Not torre. Yo, Tor's in his bag. Yo shout. He's in his bag right now.

[Rosenberg]

No, he's doing great.

[Ebro Darden]

Content bag right now.

[Rosenberg]

And he found a lane, and it's working. And it's hitting my out. I don't follow him. And it hits my algorithm every five seconds.

[Laura Styles]

So it works. The whisper.

[Rosenberg]

But no, but. But why is your mom not letting you do this? Like, why are we.

[Ebro Darden]

No. Can I tell you something? I think he's trying to contain himself because he's so animated. I think that's his effort to be like. To. To be in the phone, to be like. But not yelling at you. To be very intimate.

[Rosenberg]

How about this? How about this? How about this? I think you might like this. What if it's another form of algorithm hustling?

[Ebro Darden]

It might be.

[Rosenberg]

It's Pat McAfee's cowboy hat. You know, I mean, ever you got to have your thing.

[Ebro Darden]

Pat McAfee's wearing a cowboy hat.

[Rosenberg]

No, he used to always. No, sorry. Pat McAfee's tank top. Sorry, I'm confusing. I'm confusing. Van Lathan's algorithm hustle. It's hard to keep up with everyone's algorithm hustle. What is your thing that makes you go, you know, like. So maybe he noticed that if I do a, you know. So maybe we need to come up with a specific algorithm hustle way of speaking.

[Ebro Darden]

No, we need to. By the way, by the way. Back to how we started the show. Hit the button. There's.

[Rosenberg]

You didn't say anything. I hit the button. 30.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, because we're playing now, you're saying we need to come up with something, but you're too good to talk in the afternoon. You don't want to text in the morning. Here you are. We need to come up with algorithm.

[Laura Styles]

You.

[Rosenberg]

You don't ask me anything.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations. You played yourself.

[Rosenberg]

Yo, Ebro, basically, from the very beginning, was like, Griff, Laura, y' all handle everything. Rosenberg, just be remotely competent and show up. So I answer the questions that, that I feel like I'm useful at weighing in on, but, you know, I, I, I don't always have something like, yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

But don't get up here. Yeah, but you got up here bitching and moaning about us talking in the morning.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, I was trying to be funny, and then you took it really serious.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, because I'm stressed.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, my.

[Rosenberg]

I'm stressed.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations.

[Rosenberg]

I was trying to be loose because I'm just tired.

[Ebro Darden]

People on this show without jobs. Okay. I have the burden of their life.

[Rosenberg]

Okay, okay, I understand. We all have the burden. We're all burdening, and we're gonna.

[Ebro Darden]

That's how I deal with the burden. I go to work.

[Rosenberg]

Yell at me that. I think, by the way, people have seen you deal with that burden before for about 13 years.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, because you're the bane of my existence.

[Rosenberg]

Well, I don't know how that happened, but that's unfortunate, because you're the one.

[Ebro Darden]

In my life bitching and moaning about doing work the most.

[Rosenberg]

All I said was, you talk a lot, my guy. You say it about me every day. You know how many times, Laura, the joke has been? Rosenberg got podcast me can't stop talking. Man's got to talk. I make one joke about, man, you should short text early and it makes him unravel because I'm stressed. Jesus, Biggie, already to die.

[Laura Styles]

Let's reel it in. Let's reel it in. There's a lot.

[Ebro Darden]

Wait, is there? I'm not done.

[Laura Styles]

Now.

[Ebro Darden]

I'm not done. Let's go ahead and look at Trump flip off a Ford worker. You got that video? I need to see this.

[Laura Styles]

This is crazy.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Under the Desk News]

Sorry about that.

[Ebro Darden]

What was that?

[Rosenberg]

That was me opening up the YouTube on another page. I apologize.

[Laura Styles]

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Hit the video.

[Ebro Darden]

Waiting for the video.

[Rosenberg]

Don't get yelled at today, Bascom. I just want to say that is an incredibly small and unintimidating middle finger. I've never seen anything like that.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, them hands is literally.

[Laura Styles]

So the first two are points, right? And then he went.

[Ebro Darden]

But he definitely said f you to somebody.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah. No, he put the first is a point with a yes.

[Laura Styles]

Well, the guy said. Called him a pedophile protector.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. I gotta tell you, that guy's braver than me. His name's out here now. He's been. That guy.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, he's also been suspended. I wonder. Now this guy's a union worker at the. For whatever. I think that's Ford. They're saying that they want to fire him for that.

[Laura Styles]

I don't have speech.

[Ebro Darden]

Well.

[Rosenberg]

Well, I don't know.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't know if freedom of speech cuts that way, guys. Everybody at your workplace.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. At your work.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't know if that flies.

[Rosenberg]

If you were at a job and they're at the president's comments today, and you're like, damn, president's coming today. Gross. And then he shows up and you're like, pedophile predator. I think that's just called you acted up at work. Speaking. Speaking as some people who have acted up at work and been like, what happened? I think I'm in a perfect place to say that's acting up at work. I mean, I respect the hell out of it, but it's acting up at work.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, but let's see what the union says, because he's probably definitely a part of a union.

[Rosenberg]

Has to be. Has to be.

[Ebro Darden]

And then that's the uaw, which is the union of auto workers.

[Rosenberg]

Auto workers. And where are they at with Trump these days?

[Ebro Darden]

I don't think that they were. Were they supporting Trump as a union? I think the auto workers actually went with Kamala this time around. I think.

[Rosenberg]

I thought so. I. I mean, they were definitely on Biden, I thought, in 2020 H. But that micro little finger is crazy. I've never seen a micro middle. The micro middle is nuts.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, the micro middle is crazy. Now, Trump was at a microphone yesterday. This started this. I don't know if this popped up on Yalls algorithm, but it hit mine. And he was having problems. Respiratory problems, some sort of problems. Do we have. Do we have that clip.

[Rosenberg]

Ladies and gentlemen. Ah, ladies and gentlemen.

[Ebro Darden]

That circulated on my algorithm, and I was like, where's the whole video? Because he could have been making it.

[Rosenberg]

Because. Because this is what makes us. This is what makes the left bad, too. It's. He seems nuts. He is nuts. And it's an embarrassing video, but I'm pretty sure he was doing an awkward, embarrassing impression of Biden.

[Ebro Darden]

Exactly. Exactly. And that's why I wanted to play it.

[Button Sound Effect]

Oh, congratulations.

[Rosenberg]

Because you couldn't even ever see the full one.

[Ebro Darden]

You only couldn't find the full clip.

[Rosenberg]

That. And that's. That's the thing about us just living in whatever reality we've created in front of us. Because, yeah, it's still embarrassing, but everyone's like, oh, my God, is the President. Okay, Laura, you know when you see those tweets and they have the little. They have the little flashing light and it says, holy. Yeah, sorry, pardon my French. It says holy. Ish. And then it's like President Trump is losing it in front of a microphone. And then you look and you go, he's just being the same jackass he generally is. This isn't unusual.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rosenberg]

So last week when he was hitting this joint.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, he's running that back.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah. Last week he was running the two. The two joints in the face.

[Ebro Darden]

Nah, listen. What was that thing called back in the day? The. The. The. The. The. The muscle. Remember the muscle thing? What was it called? The Shake Weight Dance. Now he's doing a Shake Weight dance.

[Rosenberg]

Who was he making fun of last week? Last week was about trans athletes. And again, he's doing an awkward joke during his comedy routine because he's losing it. And that. This is the part. I think this is the part, Ebro, where the. You're talking about his dementia kicking in becomes relevant. His routine just isn't slapping the way.

[Ebro Darden]

It used to sound. That's not sharp. It's not sharp.

[Rosenberg]

He's. He used to do a sharp 60, maybe even 90. Hit all his greatest hits and get out. Now he's rambling. His voice doesn't have the power.

[Ebro Darden]

So on that note, remember the video we saw where he got up from the table? I don't know. I think we played it here. He got up from the table in a meeting last week and walked out the window to look at, like, where the ballroom was going to be. Did you see That I heard it.

[Rosenberg]

I didn't see it.

[Ebro Darden]

So there's a video where he gets up from a meeting with all these executives and walks to the window and, like, looks out the window to, like, look at where the ballroom is supposed to be and is kind of like, you know, rambling about whatever reports are coming out from executives that were at that meeting that are saying that he was farting during the meeting and he smelled like rotten roast beef.

[Rosenberg]

Why pay when you can slash with TikTok, slash and free? You can cut prices down all the way to zero. Just download TikTok, search/free, pick items in TikTok shop, share the link, and boom, free items unlocked, even with free shipping. So seriously, why pay? Download TikTok and start slashing now.

[Laura Styles]

No, stop, stop, stop.

[Ebro Darden]

But once again, once again, just like that audio clip. These reports are not coming from reliable sources. It's just people algorithm hustling.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rosenberg]

It's. It's not great.

[Ebro Darden]

This is a mess, right? It's just a mess out here. It's a complete and utter mess out here.

[Laura Styles]

Speaking of a mess. Yo, I had to watch that Eric Adams video again this morning.

[Ebro Darden]

I hit the button.

[Rosenberg]

But again, I. Oh, sorry.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations, you played.

[Rosenberg]

I do wish we could see the beginning of this video.

[Laura Styles]

No, I will say she was antagonizing him.

[Rosenberg]

Yes, Laura, I think so too, but we was. It just picks up. But you don't know what. What happened first. I'm sure it was her, but you don't know what happened first. It just picks up and they're in mid fight.

[Laura Styles]

Well, I had. I. You know, what I saw is her antagonizing him because that's where the video started. To your points. All right, let's watch it.

[Ebro Darden]

Please.

[Rosenberg]

Punch me in the face. I would love if you punched me in the face.

[Laura Styles]

Okay, you can get too.

[Rosenberg]

All right.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, those things are over.

[Button Sound Effect]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Good.

[Mike Pompeo (clip)]

Thank God.

[Rosenberg]

Damn.

[Ebro Darden]

Now, the reason I hit Eric Adams with the button here, even if he was being antagonized, right? As. As a public person that people on the Internet dislike and have something bad to say, I am mentally prepared at all times to de. Escalate. Nah, chill, bro. Like, you know, chill.

[Rosenberg]

You mean because, you know, there's a chance there are people out there who don't like you and may run into you and say something.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, chill, bro. Chill. Because they want to get a reaction.

[Laura Styles]

Of course they do.

[Ebro Darden]

Right. So that's why I'm hitting Eric Adams with a button. Because a.

[Caller or Guest]

Right.

[Ebro Darden]

He didn't have to tell the girl go F yourself.

[Rosenberg]

Like, I'm not mayor anymore. You're gonna see the Brooklyn. All right, well, you know what? You sound like the mayor. It's the same cheesy ass bull issue said when you were mayor.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, not only that, but what do you mean you're gonna see the Brooklyn? Were you threatening the girl? What are you saying? And by the way, it's a woman.

[Rosenberg]

And it did start seeing Laura. That's the part that's weird is it does start with her saying, please punch me in the face. Eric Adams. So what did he say before that? That's the thing I'm curious about. Why did. It's a random line to pull out is please punch me in the face.

[Laura Styles]

Right, right, right, right. I hear you.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, and also, if he hadn't said something that prompted her to say that, right? Wouldn't you go, yo, I would never do, like, what do you talking about?

[Rosenberg]

That's definitely what you would do.

[Ebro Darden]

That's definitely what you like, yo, punch.

[Rosenberg]

You in the face.

[Ebro Darden]

Like, why would we do that?

[Rosenberg]

We're having a conversation and you're a lady. What are we even. Right, so you would.

[Ebro Darden]

Your response wouldn't be to like, turn around or like. Because he definitely looks like the aggressor when he turns around and she's in his space and she's kind of pinned up against the wall.

[Rosenberg]

Well, then she pushes past him. But. But I just wonder what was said. Now listen, my prediction is based on nothing at the. Except the energy of the two people. My guess is she saw Eric Adams and said, oh, I'm going for it, and started talking ish. Eric Adams no longer mayor anymore, so he's just back to being the regular slime ball he generally was as nypd. And, and, and then he started talking ish back, someone started recording, and then something was said that led to her going, please punch me in the face. Eric Adams.

[Laura Styles]

You think he said, don't get punched in the face?

[Rosenberg]

That's what it feels like now what people could get punched in the face around here? Something like that. That's what it feels like.

[Ebro Darden]

What is this talk of. Of Eric Adams and cryptocurrency that you guys were having in a chat? What is this?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, Griff said that I guess he's running a play with some sort of cryptocurrency. And I didn't know if Griff was joking or if part of the Griffin, part of the Grift, not Griff, is that he says it's literally to fight anti Semitism this crypto.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations, you played yourself.

[Ebro Darden]

Lou said it was on the prep two days ago. And he did say that.

[Rosenberg]

How can I find a way to grift people out of money and kiss ass to APAC at the same time? A crypto coin. Perfect for making money and stealing money from people and kissing ass of APAC all at once. Crazy. I love Israel. Corey and Ebros, I need the Ebros.

[Ebro Darden]

Speaking of, speaking of Israel, do you, do we have the Mike Pompeo video?

[Rosenberg]

If you didn't ask for it, my guess, I did.

[Ebro Darden]

I did ask for it.

[Rosenberg]

Then we have to have it. This is professional.

[Ebro Darden]

I mean, listen. But speaking of Israel, you know, Mike Pompeo's an attorney and former U.S. state secretary. U.S. secretary estate. I sent it in the chat bascom this morning when nobody was paying attention, I guess, where it said, need this video. Need this video. At any rate, I'll play the audio.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Mike Pompeo (clip)]

The next generation of, of young people won't remember October 7th in the same way that's true in Israel and in America and broadly in the world. And we need to make sure two things. One, it's not that we don't forget. We need to make sure that the story is told properly, so that when the history books write this, they don't write about the victims of Gaza, right? They, they, they can't.

[Ebro Darden]

And it's. I, I should be a little more precise.

[Mike Pompeo (clip)]

There were victims in Gaza, right? It's true there are civilian casualties in every war that's ever been fought, but the victims were the people of the nation state of Israel, though, that the aggressor was the Iranian regime in the proxy of Hamas. And we need to make sure that the history books reflect that. And that requires each of us every day to, to talk about it in real time with our children, with our grandchildren about it in a way that is serious and thoughtful and complete and moral.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, I'm so, I'm so exhausted by the idea that when you know that that's all this work over time, and the idea that when you talk about October 7th, which was a horrible moment, you wouldn't talk about the tens of thousands of people in Gaza who were killed or even make that a part of the story of.

[Rosenberg]

It's just, it's just, he's saying that you should only speak about that day with no context to what will happen before, which again, I, I, you will never catch me justifying October 7th. But the story is a much deeper story if now, when the day October 7th comes around and you want to commemorate the, the people who lost their lives on October 7th. Then I, you know, telling the story of how the, you know, the kibbutz Kibutzim were attacked and all those things. Yeah, you should tell the story and.

[Ebro Darden]

The festival and the people at the.

[Rosenberg]

Festival and all that stuff and all their stories should be told properly. But for him to just literally be like, yeah, yeah, and some other people die. But war happens every day, bro. That, that's what he did. He just was like, yeah, and then other people die.

[Ebro Darden]

But there's casualties. There's always casualty. Innocent, innocent civilians who get killed during war. Let's only talk about the innocents who got killed because there's a conflict going on in a region that we took from people who are still pissed about it.

[Rosenberg]

And the conflict's been going on and they've been fighting back and forth. And that was an escalation that happened after other things had happened.

[Ebro Darden]

But then again, April and oh, by the way, the people who were supposed to be surveilling those people, oddly on this particular day were nowhere to be found.

[Rosenberg]

Ebro, that's not part of anyone's story, ok? That's only part of the story of people who actually want to find out the truth.

[Ebro Darden]

No, it's a part of people's story. That's why they're trying to get Netanyahu in court about that story.

[Rosenberg]

No, no, that's just those of us who actually want to know the truth about what happened.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations, you played yourself.

[Rosenberg]

But when on 911 went on 911 do we talk about. And then afterwards, hundreds of thousands of people died in Iraq and Afghanistan and we had a lie of weapons of mass destruction and it all kind of stemmed from 911 happening. We don't mention anything else. Now, granted, again, again and again, that's a day where of course, the people who died here should be, you know, honored in every way. But, you know, the winners, right, write the history books and they don't want to talk about the slaughters that happened afterward. Oh, oh, really? That was just an excuse. And for every 911 conspiracy theory that there is the quote, unquote conspiracy theory that it would exist about October 7, meaning Netanyahu let it happen, is way more believable than anything I ever heard about 9 11. It's not even conspiracy theory. It's. You look at it and you go, I've been to Israel. You are safe everywhere you go. It feels like you are protected everywhere. There's a reason, guys, even in the midst of war, you can talk to people who travel to Israel regularly and.

[Ebro Darden]

They won't know what's happening.

[Rosenberg]

And they'll just tell you, like, I'm good. I'm not saying this is political. I'm not saying that they are in favor of anything. I'm just saying if they're like, if they have a trip to make to Israel right now and you're like, really? You want to go there? They're like, yeah, I'll be fine.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, yeah. And so. And so. And. And then some individuals in corduroys and on the back of motorcycles and. And they handmade hang gliders jump through surveillance with. With, you know, in broad day, by the way, in broad daylight, one of.

[Laura Styles]

The most sophisticated systems, by the way. We're not going to act like this is just, you know what I mean? They're known for, you know, all of their protections.

[Ebro Darden]

They say a bird can't fly across that area. That's what they say. I don't know the technology, but that's what they say. They can pick up birds flying. The sensors go off.

[Rosenberg]

Hours went on as people are being slaughtered. Hours when people being dragged back to Gaza on the backs of bikes. Hours. Nothing. But I guess it was just crazy lapse, bro.

[Ebro Darden]

Listen, we got to get to the OGs today. The original gurus. I' ma double back because the. The. The racist dog whistles that are taking place outside right now from Department of Homeland Security. Yesterday we played the Nazi white supremacist song that the White House has put up. And now did you guys see the whole milk ad is back?

[Laura Styles]

Like the Got Milk ad.

[Ebro Darden]

The Got Milk ad is back. No, I was today years old when I learned that the Got Milk. Whole drinking whole milk thing is somehow celebrated by white supremacists because most of the planet is lactose intolerant. And. And white people are like, this is our strength. We could drink whole milk. Did you guys know this was a thing Ebrow?

[Rosenberg]

Come on, you never knew that.

[Laura Styles]

I never, never heard this before.

[Ebro Darden]

I. Yo, Rahsaan, you got the clip? Shout to under.

[Under the Desk News]

Back in 2017, a group of white supremacists who would go on to host the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally came up with this idea that the fact that Caucasian people have an easier time processing lactose than African people meant that white people were superior. And they would exhibit this superiority together by taking off their shirts and chugging milk. This isn't even a secret. This is something that you can look up yourself. This is something that they're proud of. That they do. And Donald Trump isn't even the first president to invoke the idea that whole milk, white milk, somehow improved white lives. Back in 1923, President Herbert Hoover was addressing the World's Dairy Council, and he said that whole milk is a nutritionally perfect white drink that is responsible for growing the virality of the white race. Many white supremacists will use a milk emoji in their bio to indicate who they are to other people. There was even a nod to sipping milk in the movie. Get out. This is a dog whistle. This is a dog whistle. This is dog whistle. They're everywhere. So now you know the history on this one, at least. Well, probably time to go add the milk emoji to my blocked keywords.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, my God.

[Ebro Darden]

Under the desk News. I love. I love her.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, me too. I follow her, too.

[Ebro Darden]

Amazing.

[Laura Styles]

Dang.

[Rosenberg]

I. Bro, I'm disappointed in you. You're supposed to have known that.

[Ebro Darden]

I did not know that way.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah. Surprised it. It's the first time I came across your algorithm, but. Yeah, I. I didn't know this. Those pictures are wild.

[Ebro Darden]

Wild.

[Rosenberg]

What? That's the thing you want to show off about is the ability to drink milk from other animals?

[Laura Styles]

Take off your shirt and chug some milk.

[Ebro Darden]

But you guys are glossing over the. The story that Donald Trump now has this new milk ad with the milk mustache back. It's a thing. It's back.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, he brought that. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a.

[Ebro Darden]

It's a new promo, I guess.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. And he's probably going to say it's under the guise of, you know, Dairy farmers.

[Ebro Darden]

Dairy farmers.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's what I saw.

[Rosenberg]

Which, by the way, sometimes multiple things can be true. Try to. Try to get. Try to get something going with your economy that's failing. Slash, please, all my favorite white supremacists. Now, you did. You did see, the other day, you know, Trump actually went a step further than J.D. vance did in condemning at least anti Semitism. He was asked by the New York Times, is there a place for anti Semites in the Republican Party? And he said no.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay.

[Rosenberg]

We don't need you. J.D. vance isn't willing to go that far. To the point you were making yesterday Ebro, about what's coming up next. J.D. vance, though, you remember at T. Pusa he wants to make sure. Hey, we got to make sure we welcome everybody.

[Ebro Darden]

That's right.

[Rosenberg]

He doesn't want to let anybody, even the Nick Fuentes is of the world and that's another thing I'm hot about. Sorry. Sorry.

[Ebro Darden]

Watch it. We don't curse on this program.

[Rosenberg]

I know.

[Ebro Darden]

Except for when you open the button.

[Rosenberg]

Except for when you randomly.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations.

[Ebro Darden]

I might call somebody a. Or a hoe.

[Rosenberg]

No, you've. You've dropped a random. Whatever. Wait, those are curse words. What am I? And that random person is me.

[Ebro Darden]

Exactly.

[Rosenberg]

So hold on. Before I make this big point, don't let me forget it. I want to give a shout out to Quicksilver 0922. Just wanted to show love, he said. I'm just sending my super chat money to make Ebro uncomfortable.

[Laura Styles]

I like it.

[Rosenberg]

Wilson showed love from Tacoma, Washington.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, shout out to you.

[Rosenberg]

He. He came through. We appreciate that.

[Ebro Darden]

So wait, you're only shouting out people who get who. Who tip who give money.

[Rosenberg]

They're just. They go to the top, bro. You got to earn something for your. For your hard earned dollars.

[Ebro Darden]

Getting crazy out here.

[Rosenberg]

Imani Sutton. Love you guys. Thank you for being here every day. Super cool. But also the regular free chat, man, it goes mad fast. It is hard to get in there.

[Ebro Darden]

And yeah, Lou said that's the point. Yo, you guys are really out here taking money from people.

[Laura Styles]

Shout out to Disney. Go lightly, too. Hello.

[Rosenberg]

I want to. Earlier today, when the psycho on the show Ebro screamed at me and then blamed it on the stress of people on the show needing the money. Fast forward a half hour to when he again feels awkward about people spending money.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, no need. I don't want the money. No, no, no. I want advertisers to spend money.

[Rosenberg]

Me too. And we're gonna get there. We're gonna get there. I'm saying.

[Ebro Darden]

But we got to get our systems together and you know what it takes.

[Rosenberg]

To get our system responding to the message.

[Laura Styles]

All right. Keep making Ebro uncomfortable chat.

[Rosenberg]

All right, so the thing I was annoyed about before I get the shout outs. Go, Yo. I have to admit that I had started over time to, like, see enough clips and hear enough things from the comedian Theo Vaughn to think like, oh, you know, he's not that bad. He. You know, his. He has some opinions on some things that are ever. But, like, he's not an outright bad guy. And then I saw the clip of him moving around of him and another comedian whose name I forget. If anyone remembers, feel free to throw it in the chat.

[Ebro Darden]

It.

[Rosenberg]

I'll look for it. Talking about Nick Fuentes and how much they like him and Theo Vaughn actually talking about how brave Nick Fuentes is. He's brave, man. He's brave.

[Ebro Darden]

This is recent.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, I. I think it was a. Right now. I mean, it's from his podcast.

[Ebro Darden]

Now she's saying. Because it was interesting, because didn't Theo Vaughn go kind of against the. The ICE stuff?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, you know, that's the thing.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah. He's got Latin heritage. Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

But I think he just went against it because, like, you know, he's. Oh. And then they used him. They used him in one of the ads.

[Ebro Darden]

Got it.

[Rosenberg]

And he. And he. And he, like, got upset about it. Listen, that's the confusing part is, like, he's not all one thing. But I was just like. I was like, are you. Are you a terrible person, or are you just not good enough? With English, where you don't realize that when you say someone's brave, you're trying to subtly say, like, stupid brave, like you said.

[Ebro Darden]

I thought that's what maybe he was saying, like, this guy is wild like this. But that's wild.

[Rosenberg]

But. But this is where mastering English matters. When you talk in the microphone, brave Theo is a positive connotation to the craziest things that he says. When you say he's brave, you want to say he's a. That guy's wild. He says some things.

[Ebro Darden]

Bugging or.

[Rosenberg]

But that's even better. He's bugging. What's the white. Can we get a bug in equivalent for the whites?

[Ebro Darden]

Crazy.

[Rosenberg]

He's crazy. That guy's crazy. He says things that are. But it was just. Oh, Dave Smith was the other comedian, and I just want to tell them both to go F themselves, because Nick Fuentes, unlike some of. Some of the others, he's in the true category of open Hitler loving. That's why Kanye brought him in, so they could be best butt and love up on Hitler together.

[Ebro Darden]

That's who they.

[Rosenberg]

We are talking about a. A true hateful monster. A guy who hated Charlie Kirk and thought Charlie Kirk was a sellout. Okay. His. His people think Charlie Kirk was a sellout. Charlie Kirk didn't go far enough for them. Okay.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, also, speaking of comedians podcast turn. Podcasters turn people with opinions about things going on in the world. Joe Rogan has a problem with ice now. Did you guys see that yesterday?

[Laura Styles]

I'm so annoyed.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations. You played yourself.

[Ebro Darden]

You told the line. You give me my dance music.

[Laura Styles]

You endorsed it.

[Ebro Darden]

Hit my dad's. Open the dance floor.

[Laura Styles]

Go ahead.

[Ebro Darden]

You was doing the dance. You was doing the dance. Oh, yeah. We want Trump, baby. Come bring him on the show. Let me get the algorithm hustle going. You was doing the dance Joe Rogan. Get into the bag, baby. Oh, and now. And now you got a problem.

[Rosenberg]

The dance floor is open, folks. Cuz they out here doing the dance now, now. And. And for the record, E, remember, he didn't just have him on the show. He didn't just endorse him down the stretch, because he did. He endorsed him in the final week, I believe. Joe Rogan, he showed up and spoke at the victory party.

[Ebro Darden]

Do the dance.

[Rosenberg]

Can we play the clip of now he's changed his mind. Let's hear from Joe. You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching people up, many of which turn out to actually be U.S. citizens. They just don't have their papers on them. Are we really going to be the Gestapo? Where's your papers? Is that what we've come to?

[Ebro Darden]

So, yo, hit the yes music, bro. It's so crazy. Are you. Are. Are people really gonna allow the Joe Rogans and all of these individuals a year later to get out here and dance? In your face, soft shoe. In your face. Like they didn't know this was gonna happen. How did I know this was going to happen? How did I know when they were talking about mass immigration, mass deportation, Excuse me. Leading into this whole Trump era, this regime. How did I know that we would be here today and you didn't know?

[Rosenberg]

I mean, listen, I could make the argument right now that he's a. That's how. But I don't think that's it.

[Ebro Darden]

No, it's. It's because you know how he didn't know if. If we're being honest is because you guys have more faith in a reality show, TV host, and open white supremacists than I do.

[Rosenberg]

You know, and you know why?

[Ebro Darden]

Because you're doing the dance. Because everybody got paid. Everybody got paid, bro.

[Rosenberg]

Andrew Schultz, hit the dance floor.

[Ebro Darden]

It's Andrew dead.

[Rosenberg]

Theo. Hey, Joe.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah. Come out here. Come on, Logan. Dance for that money. Dance for that money.

[Laura Styles]

Wait, him too, right? He claimed, like, I didn't vote for this, right?

[Ebro Darden]

Yes. Said it the Ovon.

[Rosenberg]

I didn't know. I didn't know when I do the dance, man. Now listen, on the flip side, by.

[Ebro Darden]

The way, throw singles at him because they might as well be stripping happen. They might as well be on a stripper pole.

[Rosenberg]

On the flip side, we also, I think, want this to happen. Meaning it is important that people like him say, yo, this isn't good. Like, I do think for our own survival as much as we can make fun of them for. And we should. We also need as many of them as possible to start being like, nah, this is not okay.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, and this is what privilege. This is what privilege looks like, right? They get to now go, I got paid. I did the dance, and, oh, now I get to change. Meanwhile, you got people really, really being traumatized and abused in homes, in streets, kids getting snatched away from families. This is what privilege looks like. You get to sit in your. In your. In your tower with all your money and do the dance.

[Rosenberg]

You. You are 100.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, I didn't. I didn't think this was gonna happen. I didn't.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, my God.

[Rosenberg]

O, they're really doing the thing. Wait, wait, you're saying that I didn't believe him.

[Laura Styles]

I didn't think he was going to do it.

[Rosenberg]

You're saying, wait, Stephen Miller, the guy who. When you look him in the face, you can tell at night he sits there, like, jerking off to the Wikipedia pages of Hitler and his. And his top people. Like, you could tell he lives for white supremacy. Like, it's not with Stephen Miller. This isn't political. This is his passion. This is what he loves.

[Ebro Darden]

No, since high school. Like, since high school.

[Rosenberg]

Watch the video.

[Ebro Darden]

It's documented that Stephen Miller's Jewish family disowned him, does not want to associate with him. They wrote open op EDS in multiple publications saying, this person gave up years. Family is a bad person. We do not support this person.

[Rosenberg]

We left him years ago. Also documented he had a Hispanic girlfriend in high school who broke up with him. And after that, he went crazy. Also documented, watch the video of him attempting to speak in the cafeteria to his student body about, we shouldn't have to pick up trash.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, I saw that. I saw that.

[Rosenberg]

And he gets booed out of the room. And he gets booed out of the room and is pulled off the stage like, come on, Stevie.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, and so gonna get you out of here. And so for anyone watching us today, and so has been supporting us for over 10 years, you know what side we were on, because there's certain. Listen, we're not happy with the government. We're not happy with Democrats. Right? Like, we've been open about our problems, but there was a lot. And. And our issues. There was a line we were willing to draw at supporting open white supremacy and Nazi and. And Nazis and fascism and things that were just straight up bad and abusive to the population of the United States of America. I believe that we. Look, I have a lot of issues with the United States of America, but I'VE always hoped that the systems that we have in place, people would respect and there will be a certain level of decorum at the political level, that's gone. And the billionaires who financed where we are today, they wanted that decorum gone because they get to benefit from it. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to deal with the fact that there's straight negativity. The tone is bad. Communities are divided, Families are divided. But all of this was paid for by billionaires who are benefiting. The Peter Thiel's, the Elon Musk. They paid for all of this. Project 2025. Do you guys remember the day I brought Project 2025 today?

[Rosenberg]

No, but I know it was a long time ago.

[Ebro Darden]

Have you guys heard about Project 2025?

[Rosenberg]

What do you mean?

[Ebro Darden]

No, but at the time, and people are like, yo, what are you talking about? Yeah, I don't listen, I want to be wrong. There's a lot of things I say. I want to be wrong. I don't want to be right. A lot of times I want to be wrong. Unfortunately, I've been right too many times when it comes to this Trump and this white supremacy and these Nazis and this fascism thing.

[Rosenberg]

So let me ask you a question. Do you think that the people. And we all knew people like this? I can name them by name if you want. Shawnee Scythe was like this? No, no, like. Like this. What I'm about to say, like, yeah, I don't vote. And they're. And they're all bad. Real quick, I'm just curious. When you're watching the people dressed up in fatigues who a month ago were on the couch, who now are joining this sort of paramilitary roaming the streets, snatching children, do you believe it's all the same still?

[Ebro Darden]

But how about this? How about.

[Rosenberg]

You believe Kamala is the same?

[Ebro Darden]

No. How about they do, though? No, no, no. You guys. You guys have to have nuance. And I know the Internet is not a place for nuance, but you got to have nuance.

[Rosenberg]

Okay?

[Ebro Darden]

The whole American system can be bad, right? At the federal level, the Democrats and the Republicans and how their gamesmanship to stay in office and bankroll things to be in office and the. And the games, they get things done can be bad. That can be bad.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

What we're seeing now is worse. It's not. It's not the same.

[Rosenberg]

That's.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, you can. Oh, you can and. But no, I'm just changing the language. I'm not.

[Rosenberg]

I'm language. But I'm just.

[Ebro Darden]

No, I'm just trying to make sure that we're saying one thing isn't good and one thing is bad.

[Rosenberg]

Would you like the dry chicken? Would you like the dry chicken or would you like the horse manure? I'll go with the dry chicken.

[Ebro Darden]

Dry chicken is bad. Horse manure is worse. I'm just trying to make sure we are having a clear.

[Rosenberg]

And Rahsaan made a great point too. He wrote they will say Obama deported people too.

[Laura Styles]

That is the right wing talking point that they continue to.

[Ebro Darden]

But it's important. It's important because all presidents deport people.

[Laura Styles]

Yes.

[Ebro Darden]

It's the. How.

[Laura Styles]

It's due process. That's the difference. Due process. And the Obama administration did their best to not separate families. I'm not saying they're perfect. I'm not going to sit here and say yes, yes, yes. You know what I mean? But not what's happening right now, guys.

[Rosenberg]

Well, Laura, I don't even know. I can't even pretend to get in the details of how it was done under Obama. But what I can say is this. They're just going through cities and terrorizing people. They're not even all, you know, quote unquote illegals.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo. Yesterday.

[Laura Styles]

No.

[Ebro Darden]

An American citizen, a kid who was picked up at work in the parking lot, they threw him in a car and drove eight miles down the road. And when they figured out he was an American citizen, just dumped him out on the road and he walked back to work crying. It's on video.

[Rosenberg]

So if this isn't even related. And the craziest thing is, and, and they mentioned this in the New York Times interview with Trump. They really have gotten, unlike the first time, they really have gotten the border crossings number like extremely low. Right. They really, they, they supposedly actually shut down the border.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

So if you've shut down the border properly, why to go terrorize people?

[Ebro Darden]

Because they want. Yes.

[Laura Styles]

Re migration.

[Ebro Darden]

Re migration. Rosenberg. They want to whiten the United States of America. Black and brown people are about to outnumber the whites. They want re migration. They want these people out of here because they do not want us, the black and brown, to outnumber the whites. That's what. And now that's the real subversive piece of what people voted for. When you talk about supporting white supremacy, fascism, Nazism, and that's Stephen Miller.

[Rosenberg]

That's the real Stephen Miller of it too.

[Ebro Darden]

And, and these dog whistles that I just showed you a minute ago that we was giggling about. All of this is tied to getting white power back.

[Laura Styles]

And don't forget Elon Musk is up there retweeting all of this. He's. Yes, 100. Meanwhile, by the way, white people are under attack.

[Ebro Darden]

By the way, white people are under attack. And they still own or still control all the power positions in corporate America, in the government, any power structures controlled by white people in the United States of America. And this is how they're acting.

[Rosenberg]

Ever.

[Laura Styles]

Since they captured Maduro. Now they're like, all right, well, he's gone. All the Venezuelans can go back to their country. It's literally a reason to just continue. Continue. And in that Trump New York Times article, guys, we. We. I don't even know if we really touched on this, where he said that civil rights led to white people being treated very badly. I don't know if you guys saw that.

[Rosenberg]

No, but that quote sounds so him. They also did ask him, does he want the country to be whiter? And he was like, no. And they're like, well, because you're only letting in, you know, it seems that you only want to let in, like, white South Africans.

[Caller or Guest]

He's.

[Rosenberg]

And he just blew past it. He said, no, of course he's not.

[Ebro Darden]

Going to say that.

[Rosenberg]

Why can't they represent for what they want?

[Ebro Darden]

Because, man, everything's got to be underhanded. They're not going to be overt about everything.

[Button Sound Effect]

Since you played yourself.

[Ebro Darden]

Now, we've done enough of that. We gotta be really right now. Yeah, we gotta get to the rundown. Rosenberg, do you have your production pieces ready for the Rundown?

[Rosenberg]

Let's go, P. Oh, oh, the Rundown. Real quick. I was gonna do something else first. Shout out to Tina, Chrissy.

[Ebro Darden]

Are you guys doing the dance? Hit the dance music. You know what?

[Laura Styles]

Every time.

[Rosenberg]

You guys can't hit everything at once. It's too much going on.

[Ebro Darden]

Do the dance. You guys are up here shimmying for the. For the super. For the super fans. Dancing for money. Do the dance. Do the dance.

[Rosenberg]

Hey, Tina, Chrissy.

[Ebro Darden]

Wait. Laura. That's Laura. Your dance is too good. They're gonna tip extra for that.

[Laura Styles]

The finger.

[Ebro Darden]

No, you had the finger. You had your tongue out. You gotta chill out, bro. You try to get extras.

[Rosenberg]

Wait, she stuck her tongue out.

[Ebro Darden]

Her tongue was out a little bit. She was doing this trying to look all seductive.

[Rosenberg]

Wow, Laura.

[Mike Pompeo (clip)]

Wow.

[Rosenberg]

I didn't peg you as that. Only fan Styles getting cracked. You want to see this money ring off?

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah. Crazy, bro.

[Laura Styles]

Yo, shut up.

[Ebro Darden]

All right, now it's the Rundown with Laura Styles on Ebro. Laura Rosenberg.

[Laura Styles]

All right, guys. Well, sorry to start off with very sad news, but we have to talk about it, man. Rest in peace to John Forte. So this news so sad. So he died suddenly in his home in Massachusetts. Now I've been doing some digging and they did say that police discovered him in his kitchen. Pronounced dead at the scene when first responsors arrived. But right now we. We. That's all we know right now. That's all we know right now. But this is very sad. Rosenberg, I saw you post a dope photo. I hadn't seen that photo in a long time on your Instagram.

[Ebro Darden]

Dmx. John Forte pun most.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Laura Styles]

And I haven't seen that photo in so long.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, man. So that's really sad, man. I don't know. Ebro, you're. You're close to. To that.

[Ebro Darden]

That family. I spoke. I spoke to some people on that side and same. They had know. They had no idea. They don't know what happened. John, it was a. Somebody is a friend in the business. Every time I saw him, he's just a light shining light positive dude. He was a part of dope records. Said dope always had dope verses. You know what I'm saying? Like he. He was one of them guys that had something to say. And yeah, man, gone too soon. Rest in peace. John Forte, man.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, that Interesting. Interesting dude. Interesting. Amazing. Life went away for a long time. Started rapping, got caught up in the game. Did like 12 years or whatever it was. Came back, got his life together, kept making music, started a family. Yeah. And just that guy who, you know, on records really jumped out. You know what I mean? He.

[Ebro Darden]

He had a great voice.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. His mo. His. His moments on records really stood out, man. Man, I was the song that I put as the background song on the picture that I posted on Rosenberg radio is his. His. The single he had called they Got Me with Fat Joe from his album that was Fire. But he had that flash. The message appropriate to. For Whitish Wednesday. The. This Ebro. Remember when he sampled 99 Luft balloons? Yeah. Yeah. And then he had the big spot on We're Trying to Stay Alive.

[Ebro Darden]

Yep.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, he had the big moment there. John Forte shattered him out, jumped in, hit his verse like, yeah, rest in peace, man. I was really sad to see.

[Ebro Darden]

At some point, at some point there's gonna have to be a documentary on how real the Fugees and the refugee camp All Stars actually are. Like in the streets real.

[Rosenberg]

No, literally too real.

[Laura Styles]

I don't think people really know Ebro.

[Ebro Darden]

Bananas, bro. Like, you Got a lot of rappers that talk Grease. And this is the interesting thing for me, right? There's a lot of rappers that talk about how street they are and what they're gonna do. And the Fugees were the most community uplifting, cultural, trying to make great music individuals while actually also being too close to the streets too often.

[Rosenberg]

One day, literally when keeping it real goes wrong.

[Laura Styles]

Yes. Anyway, other things that have been the topic of conversation, you know, we all love Kaisana. I think Kaiser not is such a great kid, but this video right here had a lot of people talking. Check this out.

[Caller or Guest]

I know it at times, usually I'm able to. Usually I'm able to handle a lot of stuff by myself and find ways through it it. But I just needed some advice on just pursuing life and goals that I have to like, how to find the confidence and the real commitment to pursue them. Because usually at the times I've achieved so much and I've been able to knock down goals I always wanted to do. And my mindset in my head is just like a lot of self doubt. I'm not, I'm not even depressed, I'm not sad. It's just for some reason I'm having like a lot of self doubt because it's out of fear of stepping back from what I'm primarily known for, which is content creation and pursuing in another goal. One thing I wanted to ask you is like how do you at times get over self doubt or, or, or voices in your head saying that it's over. Voices in your head saying you, you might not be able to do it.

[Laura Styles]

Well, first things first, you cannot let your mental take over. Some people are strong, some people are weak. When the voices in your head start coming.

[Rosenberg]

It'S.

[Laura Styles]

So. It goes on and on. But that's Kaisana and his mother. And right now, Kai. Yes, Ky not has been opening up about his mental health struggles. And you know, he's just being vulnerable and telling the world like you know, he went through. I mean he's young, he just went through a public breakup, but also him trying new things, him being insecure. So people were just giving him a lot of love for being so vulnerable and being open about what he's going through, which I. He should be a guest on your new podcast, Rosenberg.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, you have a new podcast, you know, give Back.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, you mean the my, my, My Future podcast? You know what, Kai, you got a few mil, throw down some money, bruh.

[Ebro Darden]

Wait, what are you talking about? Anyway? Is. Is self doubt tied to mental Health, Is that a thing?

[Laura Styles]

I think so, yes.

[Rosenberg]

What do you mean? Is it tied to mental health?

[Ebro Darden]

Well, no, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't know. I'm seriously asking, trying to learn like because you have self doubt or you're afraid, you know, unsure of something you're doing or about to do or want to do or whatever, is that under the umbrella of a mental health?

[Rosenberg]

I think all, I think all things that affect you mentally that are challenging are in the, are in the category of mental health to some degree. I mean it's not run to a mental hospital and get help from someone, but I think it's all tied in there.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, the reason I'm at what but the reason I'm asking is because you hear this term mental health all the time and people don't really know what it is. Right. Or what it isn't or what's severe because it's a spectrum. Basically what I just heard you guys say is it's a spectrum. Everything that's going on in your head and your, in your mind is somehow tied to the health of your mental mental health. But a lot of times people categorize it as something that is.

[Rosenberg]

Well, they can't pay attention, they can't pay. It's hard for people to figure out exactly what mental health is because it essentially got used as a grift for people to try to pretend to relate to people.

[Ebro Darden]

But yes, so it's important to understand because I have self doubt every day. Every single day. Right. But I've never processed it as a mental health issue. Right. It's just I process it as a normal human thing that you doubt yourself and because you're not sure if something's going to work out but you go through with it and hopefully it works. And sometimes it doesn't.

[Rosenberg]

Can I tell you the truth? That's because that is completely normal. And so was that clip. And why did people on the Internet care about that?

[Laura Styles]

I think it's because Kaisten, that is so young.

[Rosenberg]

Yes.

[Laura Styles]

And usually when people talk about mental health, you're. You see it in older conversations. Rosenberg, he's so young, talking to his mom, having a healthy relationship.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, just saying something.

[Laura Styles]

You see? You know what I mean?

[Rosenberg]

Okay. But no to Ebro's point, saying I have self doubt. Just see, it does seem like such a rudimentary.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, but the reason I'm pointing it out is because a lot of people, people Kat's age and probably younger, Right. Especially if you're talking about 14 and 15 year olds that look up to a KAIAT who are having self doubt, right, they might, it might manifest itself in depression, right, where they're afraid to man, hang out with friends, make friends, ask somebody out on a date, get a job, pursue a career, you know, whatever. Where it's debilitating that self doubt feel because they haven't been taught how to manage. It becomes something that impedes, literally physically impedes them from.

[Laura Styles]

That makes sense and it grows, you know what I mean? And, and it's also him showing up just being open with his mother. So that's another thing too. People are too cool to do certain things. So he was very open about it.

[Ebro Darden]

I love, I love what kaiat's become on the Internet and how popular it is. I love, I show speed and what he's been show. I mean period. I think he's in entertaining but also just his trip through Africa and like.

[Rosenberg]

Showing the trip through Africa won me over. I never really, I never really had much interest before, but this has been really cool to watch the clips that I see.

[Laura Styles]

Speaking of Internet drama, Drew Ski is being accused to play with God.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh God. Yeah. No, literally he is playing with God, but that's why it's funny.

[Laura Styles]

All right, so his viral parody of him flying through the, this guy as a preacher with, with his, I don't know, with his, his drip had people saying, why did he do this? But I'm like, guys, he's not talking to God. He's joking about preachers. And this is something that really happens. Now, Ibro, what is the name of that preacher that you said?

[Ebro Darden]

I have no idea.

[Laura Styles]

This has to be him because there's videos out there of real preachers flying through the mega church.

[Rosenberg]

Yo, it's. The video is hilarious.

[Laura Styles]

It's so funny.

[Rosenberg]

This is a, Whoever could be mad about this is a freaking loser. I don't even have, I have no time for it.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, first of all, two things can be true. Yes, they can be a loser, but also they're just super religious individuals who don't like jokes about religion or God.

[Rosenberg]

Or It's not a joke about religion. It's not a joke about religion or God or God. It's a joke about how there are people who mock your religion and take money from people.

[Laura Styles]

People.

[Ebro Darden]

Run the, Run the video. Run the video of the, the, the preacher that Drew Ski might have been pulling from the sky is cracked and Jesus Christ comes again. And every eye will see him when he come again. So here's our question for you this morning. Brothers and sisters, the simple question is this right here. Are you ready? Are you ready for his return? Amen. All right. Amen. Are you ready for his return, brothers and sisters? Are you ready today for the return.

[Rosenberg]

Of the Lord Jesus Christ?

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, well, the reason I wanted to play that full time clip is. Well, a lot of the clip is because I wanted people to see that. Even the. And I think that's what Drew was pulling from. We're gonna play Juski. Even that church realized that that was funny. Like it was not to be taken serious. Right. And if you don't go to a black church or you never been in a black church or any of these, there are things that happen that are ridiculous and meant for entertainment.

[Rosenberg]

Well, it's also not just black churches. This is a joke also about super churches. And.

[Ebro Darden]

And then. And well, yeah, but I was just saying on. On the guy floating through the sky, he wasn't taking himself serious.

[Rosenberg]

No, I hope not. It's embarrassing either way.

[Ebro Darden]

And now. And now the Drew part. Do you want a revolution? I'm gonna have Wanda stand up here. Wanda, please.

[Rosenberg]

Wanda told us earlier this month that.

[Ebro Darden]

She could not have a baby anymore. So I impregnated her with the word of God. I'm going to impregnate everyone with the word of God. You gonna get pregnant with the word of God? You gonna get pregnant with the word of God? You gonna get pregnant with the word of God.

[Rosenberg]

And pray. Next.

[Ebro Darden]

I had somebody in the congregation as why I'm wearing Christian Dior and Christian Louboutins. Because I'm a Christian and I walk in the blood of Jesus. Give him some praise. I'm a Christian first. And I walk in the blood of Jesus. Give him some praise.

[Rosenberg]

Now, that part was, by the way.

[Ebro Darden]

Two things can be true. It is hilarious to me, but the verbiage he's using up there could be offensive to people who. That's their belief system. Walking the blood of Christ. You know, the word of God.

[Rosenberg]

Like these things, people take serious the word. I understand why if you were uber religious, the words even being said are too much for you. I get it. And to which I would say secular humor is probably not for you, ma' am or sir, but the concept and I. Why do people who are religious not have faith that God could get a joke? You don't think God can understand that he's actually mocking the people who have these super churches and rip people off?

[Ebro Darden]

No, no, no. And I got news for you. I got news for you. If you're really that religious? Why you on the gram all day? Why are you on the gram all day on the shade room if you're bringing that. Why call it all this mess? Why do you even know who Drew Ski is if you're really that religious? Hit yourself with the button.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, it's. Come on. That's crazy.

[Laura Styles]

Yes. Rahsaan. The red bottoms for the blood of Jesus is. For the blood of Jesus took.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations.

[Ebro Darden]

Be careful. You're Muslim, so you can't be laughing at that. Don't be like.

[Rosenberg]

Don't laugh too much, all right?

[Under the Desk News]

Oh, my God.

[Ebro Darden]

Don't be laughing at other people's stuff. You wouldn't like if they was laughing at your stuff.

[Rosenberg]

Listen, religious people being easily offended at a joke. This is not news, folks. Jokes, that's. That's called every time. That's what it's supposed. That's literally how you know it's a good joke. The way you know it's a good joke about religion is when the religious people get mad.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, look, Laura Styles, do you have anything messy, spicy for the lowdown?

[Laura Styles]

All right, really quickly, really quick.

[Ebro Darden]

Hang on.

[Rosenberg]

Let's get all the way down below. Down with Laura Styles.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, yeah, speaking of playing with God, we go to hell.

[Rosenberg]

All the way to hell, baby.

[Laura Styles]

Come on down. All right, well, listen, this happened. So did you guys know that Chris Brown had filed a 500 million dollar lawsuit against Warner Brothers discovery for spreading falsehoods? Because in 2024 they put out that documentary, Chris Brown A History of Violence, which, you know, examine all the allegations, all the domestic and sexual violence that has been reported has been tied to Chris Brown. So he hit them with that crazy lawsuit. The judge dismissed the whole thing. He said that the documentary fairly represented the information. He said the court has personally viewed the entire documentary and found it to be fair and a true report. So, yeah, Chris Brown is not. Congratulations when it came to this.

[Ebro Darden]

Damn it.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's it for the lowdown, guys.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, we didn't go that low. We weren't even low.

[Under the Desk News]

A little low.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, that wasn't that bad. When's the last time you checked in on the. The bnn, the BBC, the. The Biche News Network?

[Rosenberg]

No, way more than that. Way more than that.

[Laura Styles]

Shell Ebro.

[Ebro Darden]

Cleanse the energy.

[Rosenberg]

Honestly, a whole lot of people keep the emails coming though. It's great to have options because, you know, some of these joints are long and I look at and go, nope, I'll lose Laura. I'll lose Ebro. Johnny would have been the only one paying attention. He's not here.

[Ebro Darden]

Nah, man, you won't lose me, man.

[Laura Styles]

I'm.

[Ebro Darden]

I'm a newly certified guru.

[Rosenberg]

So you're not gonna fade?

[Ebro Darden]

Nope.

[Rosenberg]

Your liar buttons too far. Hey gurus. I'm a 34 year old female. I've been single for 5 years. After all that time, I needed to rediscover what I like, need, want, and thought dating apps would be a good idea. Well, one thing led to another and your girl developed a roster.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, okay.

[Rosenberg]

Parentheses, Nothing sexual, by the way. Boo. That's not. That's not a roster. It's called a roster of friends. It was really fun for a while, but now it's complicated. I started having feelings for two of them. The first guy I didn't meet on an app. We reconnected after about 10 years. We were just friends back then, but realized we have so much more in common in our lives would mesh together perfectly. The second guy is long distance, but we facetime almost every day. He has a five year old son who's around every other weekend. And I've gotten to know him too. He calls me his dad's quote, future wife. He even sends me voice notes. And it's just the sweetest thing. Less than a week ago, guy number one surprised me with a weekend getaway. We had an amazing time. Kissed for the first. Wait. Kissed for the first time? And we had sex on the last night.

[Ebro Darden]

I knew y' all was stupid.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah. Come on down to hell, baby. You acted like a hoe. Oh, calm down, devil. Now I'm in a tough spot because my feelings are much deeper for him. I want to focus only on him now that things are physical. It won't be easy cutting off guy number two. I know it'll crush him and his son, so I feel horrible. Any advice More specifically, should I be honest about the other guy or blame it on the distance, which has always been a huge factor, too. Thanks in advance. I love you all so much. For a little context, I met the long distance guy four times over the last three months. I never met his son, but he talks about it often. I also quote, met his mom and sister over FaceTime.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, God. You went in.

[Rosenberg]

Tempted to hit the button here, but. But, no, I'm not going to.

[Ebro Darden]

Why?

[Laura Styles]

I mean, I think a little button is deserving.

[Ebro Darden]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Laura Styles]

You met the mom.

[Ebro Darden]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is a long distance virtual relationship that she. Because she met people over there, virtually never face to face. That she feels obligated to inform him because she got. She met. He has to.

[Rosenberg]

They talk every day.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah. I mean, Eber, even though it's over FaceTime, met the mom, has met the son over FaceTime. This is. It's a. A lot. She went.

[Rosenberg]

This is. This is where the guru. This is where Ebro being a guru conflicts with him being an old man.

[Ebro Darden]

No, no, I was just trying to understand, man.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, this is.

[Ebro Darden]

Are you always trying to bully me and attack me?

[Rosenberg]

Because it sounded like, knowing your history in the Guru, it sounds like the follow up is going to be something saying that they're an idiot or there's something wrong with them. That doesn't sound like it.

[Laura Styles]

Well, no, it was coming.

[Ebro Darden]

No, sounded like it was.

[Rosenberg]

What is this, Roger Zapp? That's where it sounded like.

[Ebro Darden]

That's not where I was going, actually. That's not where I was going because.

[Rosenberg]

Yes, you have to do something. They talk every day.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, she wants to focus on the one guy that she's having sex with, which makes sense.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

All right, fine. But it doesn't sound like she was as close to the guy she's having sex with. He's just geographically closer. She's actually closer. Like, literally wants to communicate more.

[Rosenberg]

Right.

[Ebro Darden]

The other guy was really now, but now she.

[Rosenberg]

But here's the overall thing. I'm surprised Ebro didn't say sooner. This is the real thing. You sound 12, man. The whole thing sound like. Like this is all dating. Looks like it's complicated. You meet different people, and then you might be like, oh, I like this person for this, but now I had sex with this person. I'm gonna have to talk. This is what adulting looks like. And just because you had sex, are you sure that you're really now into that person?

[Ebro Darden]

That's where I was going.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. Or are you just hot off of. You got to have some sex and now you need to go burn the whole thing down. He's gonna tell his kid. He's gonna tell the whole thing to the ground. You might have sex three more times. Like, you know what? I'm good.

[Laura Styles]

Or.

[Ebro Darden]

Or that person might be like, they're good with you. You don't know that's what I'm saying.

[Laura Styles]

Or she could take a flight to wherever the long distance shorty's at and have sex with him and be like, oh, my God, that was terrible. I don't like him. Our physical, you know, chemistry.

[Ebro Darden]

Laura's giving you insight on how you really need to move.

[Rosenberg]

Do it with everybody, baby.

[Ebro Darden]

That's right. Fly on over there. Test that other d. You know what I'm saying? Take a test drive.

[Laura Styles]

Either way, you do have to make a decision, though. You're gonna have to make a decision.

[Rosenberg]

Here's the thing. It is way. This is the part that sounds 12. I know you kissed the guy and you had sex and you guys have been chatting. Y' all didn't just sign paperwork to be together. Maybe you want to be able to continue to see him and live your life. So is it possible in the. For the sake of honesty, you tell homeboy who lives wherever I. Hey, I want to keep it real with you. I know this may be hard, but we're long distance and I've been single for a while. I am talking to someone else now. He. Well, listen, if you want to be honest, Ebro, wouldn't you agree that would be the most grown up thing. I'm talking to other people too. I know you don't like. I know that may be hard, but I am. But I still like talking to you. I want to feel things out and see.

[Ebro Darden]

Or you have to just cut them. What you're saying is facts, Rosenberg. And also, we don't even know what the. I guess the. The understanding is between her and the long distance boo. And what made them. What would. Because I. This is where I am old. What would make you introduce somebody that you only know over the phone to your child and your mom and your family?

[Rosenberg]

Listen, I can say this. I can speak from experience on this. I have had long distance friendships that have undertones that are very intense.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay, that's fair.

[Rosenberg]

Not. The undertones are intense. The. The. The relationship is intense. Like the. I had an old friend who I still care for deeply. To this day, I haven't talked to her mad long, but I. I loved her. She was The. A real friend. Real friend for years and years, and we. And all of that stuff happened. It just never. Because I wasn't 12 and I was in my early 20s or whatever I was at the time, I never allowed it to become like we're committed in some relationship. We were aware of what it was like. We cared for each other. I know it sounds like that they went to some next step, but I. I talked to her son. I. I knew people in her life, but I never. We never committed.

[Ebro Darden]

It was saying, yeah. It wasn't spoken. Know what their. Their understanding is, Was. It just. Hey, this is my friend. Yo. We talk all the time.

[Rosenberg]

Yo.

[Ebro Darden]

This is my son.

[Rosenberg]

No, and obviously it's not that, because the kids calling her future wife.

[Ebro Darden]

Exactly.

[Laura Styles]

There you go, Laura.

[Rosenberg]

Full circle to the beginning. You know what? I got to give it to you. When you're right, you're right.

[Button Sound Effect]

Congratulations. You played yourself that part.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, it's rough.

[Laura Styles]

She. You're gonna have to make a decision, because you can't keep stringing these people along. You have to.

[Rosenberg]

Well, the only thing I disagree with you, Laura, about is. I don't know what the decision is. I think the decision is to tell the truth. The guy will probably make the decision for you and be mad and not want to talk to you anymore.

[Laura Styles]

I. I'm with you. I just don't think she's gonna do it.

[Rosenberg]

Well, listen, we don't want to underestimate her. She asked for advice. The advice, and we agree, is tell them the truth.

[Ebro Darden]

Tell them the truth or get to hoe. And like Laura style suggests going out there, test the d. You know what I'm saying? Don't tell him nothing. See what r. Pony. You know what I'm saying?

[Rosenberg]

See if it's. See if it's a fit.

[Laura Styles]

And I. You also have to think about, like, if it works out, are you gonna move? Are you ready to do that? Because his family is over there. His son is over there. He's not moving to you.

[Rosenberg]

That's true, too.

[Laura Styles]

So what's the plan?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, I. I think. I think no matter how you cut it, Let. Hold on. You know, let me get my tor. Voice. I think that no matter how you cut it, you need to have honest conversation. Time for an honest conversation. Conversation.

[Ebro Darden]

Or see if that stick is manual.

[Rosenberg]

All right, you know what? This is not guru talk. Go have some real talk.

[Laura Styles]

Yes, yes. Have some real talk. Make a decision. And listen, I would love an update and see what went down. So, yes, write us back. Good luck. So say the gurus.
