Peter Rosenberg
Just don't call it a podcast. However,
Ebro Darden
All I said was, is it possible in New York City? The crowd that was super anti mom Donnie was like, hey, I might as well leave the. Leave the dog ish in the snow because he's not gonna do anything anyway.
Peter Rosenberg
Yo, wait. Andrew Dice Clay is anti mom?
Ebro Darden
Don't ask why it became adc. And then they're like, look, that way. They can blame Donnie, but they just all decided to leave poop in the snow.
Laura Stylez
No, the funny part, Rosenberg, is that when I'm on threads or any of those, and you know there's always someone from another state, we're like, do you guys regret your vote yet? You know those threads? So I saw somebody being like, look at this. This is. You voted for Zoron. This is what you get. This is RIP New York City.
Ebro Darden
Rip.
Laura Stylez
So stupid.
Peter Rosenberg
No, I'm gonna tell you now, they did work.
Ebro Darden
Previous words. Never had poop, never had snow, anything.
Peter Rosenberg
Now I'm gonna tell you, they. They put in that work last Week. They put in that work last week when mom Donnie gave you the, the ultimatums where he was basically like, hoku, we gotta raise taxes on the rich. Or my last resort is raising these property taxes 9%. They went to work on the socials. I had people calling me from St. Louis like, yo, is it true? Mom Donnie's gonna raise property? That's not gonna help renters. That's. I was like, bro. He said it was his. How did that even get to you?
Laura Stylez
How? The, the main headline was zoron, mom Donnie is going to raise property taxes. It wasn't last resort.
Peter Rosenberg
No, no, no, no.
Laura Stylez
That's what he was going to do. That's every headline I saw from like any right leaning outlet. It was that.
Peter Rosenberg
Now look, we've definitely had the, the. I went and looked. There's definitely been years with multiple mayors where they weren't able to balance the budget and, and fully fund the budget deficit and had to cut programs and cut certain things and manage the city for a whole year. Cutting, cutting, cutting, cut. That has happened. And I'm sure you guys remember years where you're hearing the mayor complain about, oh, well, yeah, we're not going to be able to do this this summer. Or even during the Adams administration where he couldn't, we couldn't afford the, the libraries or lifeguards at pools or. Yeah, you know, there's always been stuff that gets cut. Um, I doubt Mom Donnie's gonna go full last resort as his first resort. He's just trying to put Kathy Hokel in a pickle and force her to raise taxes on the rich, I think is really what he's going for. Now in other big news, we have ESPN's own Rosenberg here. I'm sure he turned into the gold medal winning USA Hockey game this weekend, right?
Ebro Darden
Oh, I definitely did. I watched that gold, that gold medal matchup. USA Canada. I actually, I watched the third period. It started like 8 o', clock, but by the time I took care of the baby, got things going, sat down, watched the third period was pretty, pretty good stuff.
Peter Rosenberg
Now, for anyone out there who doesn't care, you should care. Because it's the first time in 46 years that the USA has gotten a gold medal.
Laura Stylez
Oh, very cool.
Peter Rosenberg
See now Laura pop for that. There you go. Laura's in the building.
Ebro Darden
1980. Listen, it was the first time since 1980 the kid who, who hit the game winner is actually a Jewish kid who's the star of the Devils. Jack Hughes.
Peter Rosenberg
Jersey Devils in the building.
Ebro Darden
All right, Scored the game Winner in overtime. It was a great game. Now, I was already on the fence because, you know, my guy in the NHL is the Penguins legend Sid Crosby. And Sidney Crosby, it turned out, was not able to play in the last two games of the tournament because he was hurt. So that was a little bit disappointing. But I. I'm telling you right now, Sid's playing. I'm outright rooting for Canada. That I'm just out. I'll be honest. I just. Outright rooting.
Peter Rosenberg
I don't. I was wondering where you land on that.
Laura Stylez
Well, because that's your guy.
Ebro Darden
That's my guy. I don't.
Peter Rosenberg
And I. And I don't know, man. I don't know what. That flies.
Ebro Darden
Listen, I root for USA Soccer, no matter who's president, no matter what.
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations. You played yourself.
Ebro Darden
Hockey. I don't really feel the same way about it.
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations.
Ebro Darden
You played yourself for my guy, but he didn't play anyway, so I was. You know. And let me just throw this out there, too. There is a. Before we. Before we end up trashing this team in a few seconds, let me just also say there's a beautiful story with the team, USA Hockey, which is that. I don't know if you guys recall that almost a year and a half ago, a guy named Johnny Goudreau and his brother, both NHL players, were in New Jersey for the brother's wedding.
Peter Rosenberg
Wedding. That's right.
Ebro Darden
And Johnny Goudreau and his brother, whose first name I'm forgetting. Griff, please remind me. They went bike riding the night before the wedding, just on some, like, brotherly bonding. And. And they were both hit by a driver the night before the wedding.
Peter Rosenberg
Super sad, man.
Laura Stylez
And horrible.
Ebro Darden
Then it was announced later that Goodreau's wife was pregnant with their third child. I don't think he. I don't even know if he even knew. And it was obviously a tragedy that rocked the hockey community.
Peter Rosenberg
His brother was beyond. But by the way, beyond hockey. I heard about it just as a cyclist, right? Like, just as somebody who was just, like, you know, in that world. And then it was. It was also during a time where there were some other incidents around the country where people were just, like, targeting cyclists. Like, some. Some kids killed a cyclist. They just were just taunting a cyclist who was riding by himself. Ran him over, like.
Ebro Darden
I got it. So this. So this was another thing for the cyclist world, where the people. You got to really be careful out here.
Peter Rosenberg
That's right. That's right.
Ebro Darden
So. So it was an awful lot awful, awful story that, like, wrecked this whole family. Anyways, Johnny Goudreau would have been on Team usa. So as a result they kept a locker for him at every game with his jersey throughout the Olympics. And then yesterday when they won, the whole Gudro family was in Italy at the game and they skated around holding up his jersey after they won. So I do want to point out what was a, was a truly beautiful moment and were some great things within this Team USA team and some great players, but they do have a few D bags on this team like Matthew Kachuk, Big Maga Kachuk, you know, he's.
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Ebro Darden
I was worried it was hard for me to fully be able to enjoy this team because I had a hunch.
Peter Rosenberg
No, listen, no, listen, listen, listen. When I saw them, when I saw them win, because I saw I was actually on my bike here in the house getting some training in and in the place where I this like app that I ride in Zwift, people were like talking about, you know, they were probably cycling and watching. So they were chatting, people were talking about it. So I turned it on, okay, and saw the game winning goal overtime, saw the medal ceremony and all I could think about the entire time was how maga this was going to go after the gold medal like that. I was just waiting to see what, where this went and boy did it go places. Cuz we have video.
Ebro Darden
You didn't know?
Peter Rosenberg
I didn't know we was going to go here. Yo, run the video of Cash Patel.
Laura Stylez
Oh my God, What a do.
Peter Rosenberg
What song is that?
Ebro Darden
The whole wide world is raining down on you. Some country, some country.
Laura Stylez
Why is Cash Patel there?
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations, you played yourself. Why, why it. First of all, why is the head of the FBI in the locker room with the hockey team? Most people say ah, why you hating? But taxpayers are paying for him to go in there and slug bruskies. You know that's a taxpayer funded trip that, that came out after people got this 75 000. But that, but listen, by the way, that's, that's pennies compared to the other money that has been stolen from taxpayers. Like the 10 billion that Trump has basically skimmed off the top to put into his board of peace. That the Pope, you guys saw the Pope come out and, and slander this board of peace. You guys saw that, right?
Ebro Darden
I didn't see that.
Peter Rosenberg
I didn't know.
Laura Stylez
I saw people talking about it. But what do you say?
Peter Rosenberg
He was like, I mean listen, I, I don't, I don't want to paraphrase the Pope and Get that wrong. But it definitely wasn't nice, and it definitely. He definitely wasn't acting like he trusted Donald Trump's administration at all.
Ebro Darden
He's been on it. That's my Pope. You know what I mean? My Pope's been on this.
Peter Rosenberg
That's my Pope.
Ebro Darden
No, my Pope's been on this from the very beginning. I love this guy.
Peter Rosenberg
Yo. But at any rate, yeah, $75,000 to go slug Bruskies with the USA Hockey team. I'm sure the Magas are like, everybody, shut up. We blow. We blow more money on other things. But it's just indicative of this entire administration. Congratulations. You played yourself.
Ebro Darden
Double maga. It was Toby Keith, courtesy of the red, white, and blue.
Peter Rosenberg
He's original.
Ebro Darden
He's MAGA before OG now, my thing is this. Regardless of your politics, let's say some of these guys, you know, they're privileged white guys who played hockey, and they. And they fall on the wrong side of history. You really. You really want to party with Cash Patel. Like, you've said that before.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah, listen, they want to make sure they don't get investigated. You know what I'm saying? Listen, that's who you.
Ebro Darden
But he's such a tool.
Peter Rosenberg
No, the real story is this. The real story is this. And for. For political reasons, the Russians weren't there. But I just want all Americans to know, if the Russians would have been playing hockey in this Winter Olympics, I have a feeling this would have went very, very differently. So enjoy it. Enjoy it. Enjoy.
Ebro Darden
Listen, they. They did beat Team Canada, though. And Canada's nice, so you got to give them credit. But. But let me just say this. I saw some comments saying, and I thought this was very accurate, that for some of the Team usa, it wasn't that they wanted to be partying with Cash Patel. They were treating him like the fat team manager who they're kind of goofing on, putting the metal around his neck. Like, they were really kind of clowning him, but they're like, he wants to be here, so. Hey.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah. And then the other question is, how did he even get there? Like, how did that even happen? Why is the head of the FBI at the Olympics?
Ebro Darden
And then he called Trump on speaker. Trump called on speaker. And Trump's like, you guys are so good. Pretty good. You know, Trump's at his best when he's talking to people sports. This is when he actually is able to truly run his regular guy play.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah.
Ebro Darden
Because he does sit around watching some sports. Like, that's actually who he is. So he's hyping them all up. And he's like, I'd like you to be a guest at the State of the Union on Tuesday, the biggest night.
Peter Rosenberg
Oh, they'll be there. Oh, they'll be there. And they'll probably re. They'll probably get them back in the building for whatever the. The America 250 is slated for this summer, right?
Ebro Darden
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Peter Rosenberg
250 years, man. You got a. Got a gold medal in a sport that you rarely win gold in. I think this year at the Olympics, too, the USA won the most gold medals I think they've ever won at a world Olympics. Pretty cool, Griff. Check that stat. I heard that stat, but check that for me.
Laura Stylez
Wait, remind me again, during the 2250 celebration, is. Is that when the UFC supposed to be.
Peter Rosenberg
Oh, yeah, UFC on the lawn. Come on, Laura.
Ebro Darden
It was, it was originally going to be like, right in the thick of it. I think now it's around Trump's birthday. Not. Not around 250, because, you know, Trump's birthday is bigger than UFC, than USA 250.
Peter Rosenberg
You know what I'm saying? That's the trap.
Ebro Darden
80. Is that Trump 80 might be Trump 80. You know, listen, by Tuesday, by the time the State of the Union comes, he may be a wartime president again because even though he somehow. This is what's amazing about Trump. Not only did they have the greatest attack, the greatest, most brilliant military strategy and attack in the history of our country against Iran, it was so good, it didn't do the job and they have to do it again.
Peter Rosenberg
That's.
Ebro Darden
Yo, That's.
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Ebro Darden
That's ill. That's really.
Peter Rosenberg
If we're having Iran talk, let's just be clear now that we got this heavy crude oil that's down in Venezuela that everybody's like, oh, it's the best most oil. You need this oil, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Supposedly, Iran has some ingredient in their oil that we need to make sure that we can move this Venezuelan crude, which is why Iran, Iran and Venezuela always did business together. Okay? But the reason we're going back to Iran this time, trust me, it's for. It's about money and oil all. And, and people who want to see the regime change, just like we saw in Venezuela. Iranian people who had to leave Iran because of the current regime and all of the politics and stuff will welcome. However the regime change happens, they'll welcome it, even if it's on the back of, you know, of Satan and his ne' er do wells well, as me
Ebro Darden
and my dad were having a talk yesterday about the Iran situation.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah.
Ebro Darden
And my. Basically, there's no underselling how bad the Iran regime is, but there's no underselling how bad the American or Israeli regimes are. So you have three terrible regimes, except two of them are saying to the one, you don't have the right to have missiles. And if you don't put down your guns, as we're holding guns to your head, we're gonna do things to you. And Iran is going, the only power we have to defend ourselves in any way is the threat of missiles. And you're saying you don't want us to have it. And we know you're going to bully us after this.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah, but, but Iran, you're treating your people badly. You're committing human rights violations.
Ebro Darden
Wait, wait. But that's definitely what Israel and the United States are doing.
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations, you played yourself. So this is.
Ebro Darden
So you're literally telling Israel has always ignored any rules about nuclear proliferation. Israel ignores it. They make their own rules. They do what they want want to do.
Peter Rosenberg
And nobody's going to do anything.
Ebro Darden
No one's going to do a damn thing. Iran says, hey, can we. We're going to have a little bit too, just in case. Just in case you get crazy. If y' all want to get froggy, we can get froggy. And they're saying, no, you have to. And if you don't, we're going to attack. And everyone seems to feel that this time it's not going to be as clean and open and shut as it was last time. And Iran may fire off against US Proxies other places Is. Is going to shoot at Israel. Fortunately for them. You know, Bibi doesn't care about them shooting Israel. He's fine with the Israeli people living under the yo. When this happens and you're in Israel, you just go to bomb shelters like 24 7.
Peter Rosenberg
That's it.
Ebro Darden
People act as if it's all loose and they're just still on the beach. No, when it picks up like this, they will be in bombshell. He doesn't care. He wants the action. So we are going to watch.
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Ebro Darden
Our safety and the safety of American soldiers abroad is in the hands of the same administration that was just guzzling beers backstage at the Olympics.
Peter Rosenberg
But the real thing, you got to ask yourself, I think in this moment is, you know, we've seen this behavior before from all three of these factions, right? Is it more deadly now because we lack trust of the leadership? More now than we did in the past. Is it all just for oil now? Will they take things farther than they ever did before? These are the questions you gotta ask. Because these three into these, you know, Israel, United States, Iran, been chipping at each other. There's been hijacked flights, there's been, you know, destabilized governments, there's been terrorism. There's been all of these things throughout history.
Ebro Darden
All the things.
Peter Rosenberg
And I'm not saying that that makes it like, you know, less dangerous now. I'm just trying to add, like, we've seen all of this before, and it's always just ultimately about jockeying for oil position and power in the region, which I think this time is no different.
Ebro Darden
I hope you're right.
Peter Rosenberg
I guess the question is, do. The question is do we believe that Iran will go farther than they ever gone before or the US and Israel is going to go farther than they ever have before?
Ebro Darden
For that's the thing.
Peter Rosenberg
That's the real question. And we don't trust all of this. All of this keeps us not talking about the Epstein files.
Laura Stylez
Yeah.
Peter Rosenberg
Of which our nation, the United States of America, the FBI. The guy that's supposed to be investigating these files is guzzling beer in Milan at the hockey match.
Laura Stylez
Files? What files?
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Laura Stylez
Files.
Peter Rosenberg
The files that we were supposed, you know, the swamp that was supposed to be cleared. The people, the files that were supposed to get released. The truth that was supposed to be told. All of the things that the magas were marketed to. You've got none of it, by the way. Literally none of it. You didn't even get the jobs. You haven't got the jobs. You haven't got the economy. You haven't got the file. What? Actually, Trump supporters. Please tell me in the chat, what have you gotten? It's been a year and some change. Remember, no new wars. Remember that? What happened to no new wars? Congratulations, you played yourself.
Ebro Darden
Anyway, Ebro, you're really bringing down the whole situation. We've been having a good year. All right? Think about it. All my guys are safe, free. The guys, you know. Now Devlin's here, and I'm gonna shout out all my guys in the Epstein files. All right?
Peter Rosenberg
Devlin, congratulations. You played yourself. I just want to say Laura and Rosenberg think the name Devlin is so cute and funny. I am not on board. I am just not on board.
Ebro Darden
Suggested another one. That was better, too. Laura, I saw another.
Laura Stylez
Which one?
Ebro Darden
Besides Devlin?
Laura Stylez
Somebody said Devlin and I loved it. But what's the other one?
Peter Rosenberg
I'm opening it's not on board.
Ebro Darden
Similar. Ebro's not on board for Devlin. Real quick from the super chat.
Laura Stylez
Okay.
Ebro Darden
Grim BK came through and said, Peter, why the f. Are you still taking Bear outside in the freezing weather? I also have a senior dog and have barely taken him outside. I let him go inside and clean up after him. Nah, listen, man. Ebro, Ebro. I just confused Bear with Ebro. That's interesting. Bear already goes inside at times. Just because he does. I'm not sponsoring it just because it's cold. Bear may be old. He has a very thick coat. He's a. He's a very furry animal. He does find the only issue is when the salt is down. But when it's just snowy, he likes going outside to go potty. No big deal.
Peter Rosenberg
And doesn't Bear. Bear stills appreciates a good, you know, let me step outside, look around. Even if it's for 60 seconds.
Ebro Darden
Yeah, I mean, he wasn't appreciating it when it was disgusting outside. But like right now, this morning, when it's quiet and the snow's covered the ground, he enjoyed it. He had a little. Little trot.
Laura Stylez
All right, People like Devlin.
Ebro Darden
Serene storm says, it's my B day today.
Peter Rosenberg
Happy birthday.
Ebro Darden
My name is. My name is Yaldev. Can I please get a birthday shout out from my faves?
Laura Stylez
Happy birthday.
Peter Rosenberg
Happy birthday. Matter of fact, for your birthday, we're gonna. We have. We have Elmo and Abby Kadabi.
Laura Stylez
That's right.
Peter Rosenberg
Dancing for your birthday. Let's see that video.
Ebro Darden
Oh, wow. Here we go.
Laura Stylez
Look at those moves.
Peter Rosenberg
Go ahead, Elmo. So Salasi. That was from Salasi's birthday party over the weekend. The whole. The whole squad, the whole community, the whole family pulled. Pulled up. It was a good time.
Ebro Darden
It was fun.
Laura Stylez
You guys did a great job.
Peter Rosenberg
Thank you. Well, Jazz, I don't know about. If there's a. You guys, it's mostly Jazz and. And her sister Diane knocking it out, but. Oh, and I got to give it to BB Grandma. Grandma's in the building as usual. But, yeah, I'm playing backup. You know what I'm saying? What do you guys need me to do? Where do you need me to be? What do I need?
Laura Stylez
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Peter Rosenberg
You know, just give me an assignment. I'm here. You know what I mean? I need to hang stuff from the ceiling. Do I need to make sure TVs are working? Do I need to go pick up vegan donuts In Brooklyn at 9am
Ebro Darden
you went to eat vegan donuts?
Peter Rosenberg
Vegan donuts. Those Donuts over there were vegan and I drove all the way to Brooklyn to get those done. Well, donuts in Brooklyn, what do they
Ebro Darden
put in non vegan donuts?
Peter Rosenberg
Donuts.
Laura Stylez
Eggs.
Peter Rosenberg
Listen.
Ebro Darden
Eggs?
Laura Stylez
Yeah. Milk.
Peter Rosenberg
Milk. Yeah.
Laura Stylez
Yeah. Vegan donuts just have like, I don't know, oat milk or almond milk.
Peter Rosenberg
I don't know what they got going on, but them joints is smother.
Laura Stylez
Yeah. They use like coconut condensed milk when they need to instead of regular condensed
Ebro Darden
milk, they make milk. And milk goes into donuts.
Laura Stylez
Yeah, it's like cake.
Peter Rosenberg
You bake it depending on the type of donut.
Laura Stylez
Yeah, I'm assuming. Yeah, there's different kinds, but for the most part, it's like making a cake.
Ebro Darden
Laura, you said that very mad. Laura said that.
Peter Rosenberg
But yeah, well, like for instance, for instance, they. They get a. They make a Boston cream that, you know, well, that I get. Okay. That. That jazz may stab you for, like, literally. No, no, you could die. Like when we. When we go, every once a year, we. There's an event somewhere at this house and we're gonna get vegan donuts. Okay. Something happens. Somebody's in Brooklyn, somebody makes a stop, whatever. If anybody touches the Boston creams without jazz, okay? And you. To have a Boston cream, you could die.
Ebro Darden
I get it. I get it. We all need our Boston cream. Ao.
Peter Rosenberg
I get it.
Ebro Darden
Also. Let's see. Turbo said. Turbo J says, let's make the show two hours. Ebro, everybody. Let's chat. Spam for a two hour show? Nah, how about not chat spam?
Peter Rosenberg
What does that even mean?
Ebro Darden
Like just. Just like spam the chat by. Just everyone just sits there all day saying, two hours. Two hours, two hours.
Laura Stylez
That's not gonna make a difference.
Ebro Darden
I don't know if that's gonna be. I don't.
Peter Rosenberg
Can I, can I just say something, though? I don't think if the show's two hours, right? And it's just us talking for two hours covering topics, I don't believe that it. It leaves people on a high note. Like, I. I like the vibe that we kind of leave people on a high note. They feel good. We're not like stretching it out too long over talking, beating up topics too long, etc. Etc. And even in that, even in the one hour, sometimes we get caught in a topic where we're passionate about it. We stay too long. I kind of like that we end on a high note. We. We distribute other content for, for the folks throughout the week. You could subscribe to the Patreon if you want. To get content that doesn't appear here. If you are so inclined. So financially inclined to support that extra content, which I think we have more plan. Have plans, more plants, and there's always plans. And yeah, man, we. We love you on the Patreon. But also like. And share and subscribe here so that the algorithm picks it up and we can move around and. And find more people, because there's still people. There were people at the birthday party walking up to me like, yo, where y' all at now?
Laura Stylez
No, so meaning at the birthday party.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah, they know me, but they still missed it. And I haven't talked to them. I haven't seen him.
Laura Stylez
Yeah, because I'm surprised when I still get dms. Like, I miss you so much. I wish I could hear your voice. I'm like, you can.
Ebro Darden
Guys, it makes. I want to tell you how bad it is. This goes on for so long. Siphon. I have been back doing one app every week. Like, this is when we. We were actually still really good every week. One app was cracking for like two years. And I'd be. I see people out all, yo, I'm such a fan. Y' all gotta bring that one up back. I'm like, but if you're such a fan, you have to see that I posted on my.
Peter Rosenberg
But they're not seeing it. They don't see it.
Ebro Darden
They don't see it.
Peter Rosenberg
Well, so. But here's the thing. No, but the thing is this guy.
Ebro Darden
But this is all we post. The three of us post this show. It's not like it's every few days. We're all posting it every single.
Peter Rosenberg
But it just takes a time. And also remember, I think people, when they go to social media, win, by the way, big word when they go, right, right, right. You don't. You don't know how long they're spending there and what they're actually getting. And if they're not actively looking for a thing. I mean, look, even on your Instagram or, excuse me, on mine, I don't see Yalls posts. And I could scroll 20 things deep. That's like. That's a lot of scrolling for me is to go through 20, you know, different posts and I'm not seeing you guys. I did it last week just as an experiment. And normally I don't even go that far. I normally go a few. And then I'm looking in my comments, engaging with people in my own comments more than I'm reading other people's posts.
Laura Stylez
Yo, shout out to Stephen Steve89. He says, Nah, one hour is fine. I got ish to do. LOL.
Peter Rosenberg
Love you for that.
Laura Stylez
I feel that.
Ebro Darden
And listen. And the fact is a lot of people are saying they be hyped about it, but like, we also watch the numbers once we get after 9 o', clock, you see people have to start doing their thing like it's. People are.
Peter Rosenberg
They got work to do. Now what we're. We're devising a plan to get you early birds a 7am drop to 7:30. 7am drop. So we got a plan coming for that. Just buckle up. We got plans now. Laura, in the rundown.
Laura Stylez
Yes.
Peter Rosenberg
Are you covering 50 and TI?
Laura Stylez
I wasn't going to, but we could do that right now.
Peter Rosenberg
Oh, you don't have to cover 50 and TI. I just didn't want to, you know, take content from you. But we do got to cover this 50 NTI Rosenberg, you seem slightly annoyed by the 50 TI situation.
Ebro Darden
No, no, I. I was. I was intrigued by the. I was intrigued by the interview clip I saw of TI okay, you want to have it?
Peter Rosenberg
You want to have a look at it where he sat with a million dollars worth of game. Gillian Wallow.
Ebro Darden
Yeah, we could play a little bit of it. He basically explains it and then they go back and forth for a while. But the beginning is worthwhile. He explains. Yeah, he explains something.
Peter Rosenberg
Let's watch. Okay, so first, like, you know, it was really about celebrating each other's catalog. Me and then talk back there, bro, this ain't just called the out the blue. Yeah, me and the talk about this.
Ebro Darden
You talking about you were 50?
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah, man, we talked about this, man. This just come out of nowhere. We were moving around in la, man, selling some TV shows. We were around each other, man. You know what I mean? I said, think about this. Like, you want to do that?
Ebro Darden
I said, yes.
Peter Rosenberg
He was like, all right, all right, all right, cool. So she. And I told him, I said, well, I'm. I'm gonna jump out there first, and then you just gonna jump out there and we'll line it up. And he said, all right. And when I jump out there, act like he ain't know what the going on then. That's what it was about. You know what I'm saying? Now everybody. Oh, you playing? Okay, you gonna play? All right, cool. Well, how about. Cause now I question your character. Well, so here's the thing, man. And I guess 50 Cent is somebody I've known for a little while now, talked to him publicly and privately.
Laura Stylez
Okay?
Peter Rosenberg
50 doesn't give a damn about none of this versus none of it. He doesn't. He. I. I argue with 50 Cent sometimes. Like, yo, man, put out some. Put out a. Out like hip hop. Like on just on some hip hop is. His brain doesn't even process that comment of like caring about the game just on some hip hop is. He doesn't. He's not that type of person. And so versing versus is for artists who care about the game. Y' all not baiting 50. I just don't see it, man. I don't see 50 Cent wanting to show up and stand next to people. He thinks he's bigger than y'. All. He's got. He feels like he doesn't need it. And, and he's. And in some ways, with. Regarding not needing it, I think he's right.
Ebro Darden
Well, from a business standpoint, but that's
Peter Rosenberg
all he thinks about.
Laura Stylez
That's all.
Peter Rosenberg
By the way. That's all he cares about.
Laura Stylez
Right. He wants shows. He's been successful with these shows and he's trying to build his empire. You think he cares about music? If he wants to, he'll tour with his classics and make millions.
Peter Rosenberg
Like, and by the way, I think. I think he does that for the team. Like, that's kind of like for his. His guys and for his team. And, you know, and also I think it helps his probably his publishing his catalog in some way, shape or form, but once again, it's still about business. It's not for just for the love of the game.
Laura Stylez
I don't see 50 in a rush.
Peter Rosenberg
He's a husk. 50 Cent is a hustler, man. Well, and then. And. And here go the other part. The other part. When you do hear a new 50 Cent song, the last one he put out, you know what it was for a T. It was the intro to a TV show. Yes.
Laura Stylez
That's where his heart is right now.
Ebro Darden
Yeah, I don't think he's. He cares about that. Laura, I think you're mic disconnected. You may have to leave and come back with your mic.
Laura Stylez
Oh, okay.
Ebro Darden
That's what I think.
Peter Rosenberg
Well, well. And on the 50 cent, ti thing. So 50 cent posts a picture of Tiny saying, you know, got nasty saying, you know, keep my. Keep my name out your mouth. Blah, blah, blah. 50, why'd you have to go here, bro?
Laura Stylez
I hate this.
Peter Rosenberg
Why'd you have to go to that place?
Ebro Darden
Yeah.
Peter Rosenberg
Is that. Is it. Is that because ti said, quote, now I question your character, and 50 was offended.
Ebro Darden
That's that. That's the thing. I don't know. Why he always has to go to that place, but that's always the place. I don't respect that he goes to. It's always some family, some next. He's just that work by 50. I've never, like, I. I know his whole thing is like, there's no line. It's just like, I feel like one day, if he matures as a human being, he will look back and be like, I didn't have to do all those things.
Peter Rosenberg
Like, I bet. I bet you if I went to his page right now, I bet you that's taken down. You let me go.
Laura Stylez
Look, you think he took it down?
Peter Rosenberg
He always does that. He'll put up something like that and let the. Let the Internets eat it up and then take it down. Let me see. Nope, still up. Never mind. Scratch that. Still up. Been up for 15 hours. And people are in his comments like, yo, too far. Blah, blah, blah.
Ebro Darden
Yeah, it's. It's. And then, boy, that's sent. Do you want to play the video Ti Son? Because it's sent Ti Sun.
Peter Rosenberg
What? Yeah, we could play Ti Son, but he said a whole bunch of nothing but play Ti Son.
Ebro Darden
Nah, Ti Son went far.
Peter Rosenberg
Also, your mama dead is.
Laura Stylez
Dig that up.
Peter Rosenberg
Raised.
Laura Stylez
I'm not raised like that.
Peter Rosenberg
I don't go. I'm not going by my mama. I'm not going. So tell your dead ass mama dig her ass up and post a picture that look better than my mama.
Ebro Darden
Okay?
Peter Rosenberg
Well, that's not wrong with you.
Laura Stylez
Y' all think it's better shoes.
Peter Rosenberg
Y' all don't know who the.
Ebro Darden
Yo, thank you. Thank you.
Peter Rosenberg
Well, I don't know.
Ebro Darden
I don't know if the threatening.
Peter Rosenberg
I don't know if you. I don't know. That's why I said I don't know if that. That's a whole bunch of nothing. Where. Like, where are we going? Where are we going with all that?
Ebro Darden
And TI has to be like, my man, let's not threaten. Let's not act like we're threatening. Let's not act like you're threatening. 50 and. And T, you would really think ti son grew up in a rougher situation than he did. You were.
Laura Stylez
I hate seeing him.
Ebro Darden
Yo, bro, stop. I don't. I don't care how gangster you act. You have been a rich kid your entire life. You need to stop. You need to stop.
Peter Rosenberg
Well, it also just doesn't.
Ebro Darden
You have the right to be offended.
Peter Rosenberg
Of course, of course, of course. But it also just doesn't need to go there. Like, right, right. It's his mom, though. It's his mom. But that's the thing.
Ebro Darden
50 is the one who goes there. 50's always the one who.
Peter Rosenberg
I can't really. That's why I didn't want to play the clip, because it's his mom. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like I. You know, how you gonna tell somebody to act when their mom's getting disrespected?
Ebro Darden
No, that's the thing. Everything's out the window, you know what I'm saying? Like, you might all of a sudden forget that you've been rich your whole life and be ready for action.
Peter Rosenberg
My point exactly. You don't know what people are capable of.
Ebro Darden
That's true.
Peter Rosenberg
You know what I mean. So. But all in all, I think it played out with now ti and once again, I think this is why 50 don't jump on verses. He's not putting out new music. Cuz guess who's got an album out coming on the way and guess who dropped a diss record TI let's have a listen. And all these scales ain't even the bear hibernate don't poke when you see
Ebro Darden
the jazz sleeper shouldn't have woke I
Peter Rosenberg
don't know how many times I told her but please hop about my slogan because you can't pray me with a big bread boy the strongest for the longest I'd have been there, boy and
Ebro Darden
I number three what you getting at
Peter Rosenberg
man I know the way Trying to pretend that the king won't get a sledgehammer boy and said listen now build it throne boy wouldn't exist Got a concrete crown boy this don't even fit you big dog talking little zoo come on now you say you're out did who better settle down Know the dog hold your headed down hit a dis record better edit Now I turn your
Ebro Darden
head around all the cap better get
Peter Rosenberg
a G But I only place your head is in the ground Put it on my soul Before I ever had a record so no I used to get it up St A Bingos been pulling up foreign calls with the first R ST oh you want war okay he ain't responding. He's not resp. Is not putting out a rap record.
Laura Stylez
No.
Peter Rosenberg
Well and on that note, like even when you look back at it, you know Mayo Jim Jones, Fab and Davies was putting out records getting at 50 yep and then just also responded to them he's well but also over the weekend 50 was going at Jim Jones hugging the owner of the building that I guess Jim and Them partnered with and had video literally the same night. So this guy's apparently, Sam, owned part of Jim Jones and Main on them's podcast and owns the building where they do the podcast. And 50 posted these videos. Do we have Jim Jones kicking indoors?
Laura Stylez
Oh, God, this is so messy.
Peter Rosenberg
Now, if you look at the date.
Ebro Darden
Okay, all right, all right.
Peter Rosenberg
If you look at the date at the top right corner there on the video, 50 Cent had the video. So that date was what, Friday, Saturday, Thursday. He had the videos. These went up the next day.
Laura Stylez
Yeah, somebody gave those to him expeditiously.
Peter Rosenberg
So the photo with Sam and 50, I mean, he must not be playing. And by the way, I don't know if y' all was paying attention back then. 50 said he was going to partner with the guy and buy the building. 50 is that, remember this whole fallout?
Ebro Darden
I haven't cared, but I've heard it. I mean, this is just very 50. I, I, I'm not, I, like, listen, I'm amused by 50 at times, and I respect the hell out of his rap career and the things he's done in business. I'm not one of these people who follows every 50 petty move. Like 50 the 50 hive of people who are just obsessed with him being petty. And the second he drops interview, they. No, they, they're obsessed. Like, I, I, I, I love and respect 50 for the things I love and respect him for.
Peter Rosenberg
You're not in for all that, all of that. But I'm, I'm gonna tell you why I've been into this. I've been into this because I was shocked at the, that, that it turned into a thing between 50 and Mayno and Jim and all them. Even though there's kind of been some friction there for a long time. But I didn't know it would turn into 50 Cent buying a building. So when he said he was gonna do it, I was like, wait, I gotta see this play out, because I gotta be honest with y'. All. If I had a lot of money, I would do petty ish like that.
Ebro Darden
It's impressive.
Peter Rosenberg
No, no, no, no. Like, that's what, look, if you wanna, if you want to know what, like, why have a lot of money if you can't do petty ish like that? When people that you've had problems with got something, got something to say about you, and you be like, you know what, hold on a second.
Ebro Darden
Listen, I respect that part. Having enough money where it's like change in your cigarette light next to your cigarette lighter in the car to just Go cop a building. That is impressive. Let me. Can I give you some positive hip hop real quick?
Laura Stylez
Okay.
Ebro Darden
Can we take a moment? Yo, guys, I did not expect when. When we had waited seven years for Cardi to come back, not only was Cardi B going to drop an album that people love and the comments can get mad. The last time I talked about this, the haters came out and said I was crazy. Sorry. Her fans love her album. It's got a lot of winners on it. Of course.
Peter Rosenberg
Got fire on it, bro.
Ebro Darden
Talking about seven year gap now. I'm not saying it's the. It's as good as Invasion of Privacy. I don't know, you can debate that, but it's a really good project. But not only that, by the way.
Peter Rosenberg
Pause, pause right there. The only reason you could. I think this one's longer than Invasion of Privacy. Like there's more tracks and honestly, if you edit some of the redundancy out, it might be stronger then Invasion Privacy
Ebro Darden
because the good stuff is really good and she's developed a lot since then.
Peter Rosenberg
That's right.
Ebro Darden
I didn't have it on my bingo card that Cardi, who had never been a touring artist like that, would work her ass off, spend the money needed and do what I'm hearing from people who have been to the show is one of the best rap shows. You will go to show the clip that we have of Cardi on tour. Cardi is bodying this tour right now. Like, this is a storyline to pay attention to. It's not like she's just standing on stage and doing nothing. This is a true, true tour. Oh, I haven't seen this clip yet. I mean, Baskin chose the most boring clip he could find.
Peter Rosenberg
Yo, I like how that was. But the. But the. But the staging looked dope.
Laura Stylez
Yeah. And the costumes are amazing. She's put a lot of time into
Ebro Darden
those costumes and dancers are actually doing tons of stuff. There's PI. Yo, my manager went to the show in la. He's like, it feels like a frigging Beyonce Lady Gaga. Like, it's crazy pyro, tons of performance. I just don't think anyone expected Cardi to do it. And it's pretty cool that this has been what her comeback has been. I really, guys, I got to a point. I thought if the second album ever came out, it was going to flop and she would just kind of become like social media Cardi. I really thought it was going to go.
Peter Rosenberg
She, she, she nailed it.
Laura Stylez
She came back. I'm excited to see her. When she comes to New York. I'm excited.
Peter Rosenberg
Are we in the building?
Ebro Darden
Natalie's army? Yeah.
Peter Rosenberg
I'm trying to get us tickets to give away here on the Ebro. Laura Rosenberg Experience show program.
Ebro Darden
Oh, I love the Experience show program.
Peter Rosenberg
You know what I'm saying? That's what it is. And make sure you share and subscribe and do all of the YouTubey things to make sure the algorithm, you know what I'm saying? You got to click the button a gang of times and make sure your friends know about the program. You know what I'm saying? Laura, do we have a merch update for merch supporters?

Peter Rosenberg

Laura Stylez
Yes, yes.
Peter Rosenberg
Because you know there's going to be people who spam the email or just chat nonsense in there. It's time. You know what I'm saying? It's time for the rundown with. Hang on, I'm looking for the button.
Laura Stylez
Let's go. Let's slow down.
Peter Rosenberg
Nope, nope. That's the ELR close. Nope, nope, nope, nope. Where's the rundown?
Laura Stylez
Come on, come on, come on, dude.
Peter Rosenberg
Where's the rundown?
Ebro Darden
Listen, if I wanted this to be bad, I could have done the drops myself.
Peter Rosenberg
I had it ready to go.
Ebro Darden
Yeah, this is.
Peter Rosenberg
Maybe I didn't have it ready to go.
Laura Stylez
Experience.
Peter Rosenberg
Damn. We don't. We don't. You know what?
Laura Stylez
All right, I got.
Ebro Darden
You want me to save the day here?
Peter Rosenberg
Gotta hear.
Ebro Darden
Hold on.
Laura Stylez
What you got? What you got?
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah.
Ebro Darden
Screens on Glow when she pulls up.
Peter Rosenberg
Headlines heavy, but we still caught up. Light still flashing.
Ebro Darden
We don't slow up.
Laura Stylez
Thanks, Pete.
Guest Speaker
All right.
Laura Stylez
You know, we do have to say RIP to Willie Colon, a salsa pioneer. I mean, listen, Willie helped build the soundtrack of an entire generation. You know, part of Fania Records, you know, his legendary work will live on forever. But it's important. You know, I followed Willie Colon until he got weird. You know, all of us, anybody who followed. Week along, he just became like super right wing, you know, posting all of this, like, Trump propaganda.
Peter Rosenberg
It was sad to see, but remember, this is.
Laura Stylez
It was sad to see.
Peter Rosenberg
This is after he Got upset with Hillary Clinton when he had his own political aspirations. Then he got old and went, like, straight maga and was, like, posting, like, fault misinformation memes. Like, it's not what you want to see for, you know, a legendary. By the way, Willie Colon was a pro immigration. Pro trans.
Laura Stylez
Yes.
Peter Rosenberg
You know, Latin activist, bro like, has, like, a hit record about, you know, accepting. What was the story in the song about accepting someone because they were trans and got kicked out of home by their parents? Like, that's one of his songs. We do have on your records.
Laura Stylez
We have a beautiful. We have a really good breakdown, actually Ebro that you shared that. I thought this was pretty thorough. So let's. Let's watch this.
Guest Speaker
The world is born in the passing of the great trombonist and musical composer Willie Cologne. Born in the Bronx in 1950, Willie Cologne began playing the trombone at a very early age. He was so good that by the age of 15, he was signed to the legendary Fania Records. And he is responsible for some of salsa music's biggest and greatest records and considered to be a pioneer of the genre. Back then, Willie made music with purpose. He was a social activist involved in defending immigrants and spreading awareness about major social issues and the environment. His 1989 album, Legal Alien includes his infamous record El Granbaron, where he sings about a transgender person disowned by their father and affected by the AIDS epidemic. Now Willie took a stab at politics. He served as a spokesperson for Mayor Dinkins and unsuccessfully ran for a few public offices in New York. He served as a member of the United Nations Immigrant foundation and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. Willy Colon was a champion and a voice for the marginalized. So it was a shock to the world when sometime around 2016, he began to publicly support Donald Trump. Days before his death, he criticized Bad Bunny super bowl halftime performance, even though Bad Bunny was a huge supporter of Willie Colon with the Trombonis, even making a brief appearance in his controversial Nueva Yol music video. Now, it may be tough to disassociate ourselves from someone that we beholden a lot of our sweetest life memories to, but we can't allow this kind of toxic behavior to continue to drive a wedge through our communities.
Peter Rosenberg
That right there's a great follow. His name is from the record underscore on Instagram. His name is Jose Torres. Guy I've been following for a while, but he's. He does pieces like that are really great music pieces.
Laura Stylez
Thank you, Jose. No, that was yo Rosenberg. And if you I unfollowed him a while ago, but he was just straight spreading all these, like, awful things about, like during Bad Bunny's super bowl halftime performance, basically calling it trash and how people were not enjoying it. And then. And then after he passes, Bad Bunny
Peter Rosenberg
is praising him as it absolutely does.
Laura Stylez
A legend, of course loved him.
Ebro Darden
Yes, of course. Because Bad Bunny's going to do the right thing.
Peter Rosenberg
And.
Ebro Darden
And listen, it's you. Sometimes you want to try to not remember people by their worst attributes, but focus on, especially when they pass the best things that they. Well, and also too, way too much to ignore it.
Peter Rosenberg
I try to factor in where people may be at at the end of their life, you know what I'm saying? Like, financially where they are. Do they have, like, unresolved bitterness issues due to the industries that they may have worked in and the people who have done harm to them throughout. You know what I mean? And then you have just people who never went and got the mental health support that they maybe needed. Cause I don't know if you guys pay attention to it, but. And this isn't, by the way, all Republicans, but this is for most of the Republicans that are excited about what's taking place in their party or like, where this whole MAGA thing has gone. Many of them have mental health issues, I believe. Serious imbalance issues, anger issues. Not. It's not good. Time and time again, you keep seeing people who are just this. Spewing this much vitriol towards. And by the way, even I, I even said some of the. Some of the far left too. Some of the far left too, where you're like, yo, you, you're a little too caught up. You're a little too wrapped up. You're a little bit crazy with this. You need to get checked on Ebro,
Ebro Darden
the other day, if you were to like, I know we had a fun conversation amongst friends and we were like, all presenting our different stuff and I was saying, hey, I don't know if everything that you hear happened in the Epstein files means it happened. We all need to, like, continue to pay attention because some of it's crazy. Yo, if you looked in the comments Ebro, you would have thought I went out there and was just like, trump is innocent. They're trying to come for my guy. The Epstein files are made up. Nothing's happened.
Peter Rosenberg
Nobody's going to clip this piece right here.
Laura Stylez
I know, I know.
Ebro Darden
No, but, like, but, but to your point, though, people don't realize that they are literally so in their algorithm. They do not know that Some of the thoughts and ideas they have are pretty out there and they are looking at them as straight facts. And if you even sent that, there could be something different. They think you've lost it, you've lost the plot and you're out of it.
Peter Rosenberg
But, you know, and, and so, and so the. And here's why people spiral is because you're talking about children and the murder of children and this kind of like sick, twisted. I was going to send you guys. There's an Oprah Winfrey thing from 1989 moving around where there's a woman on the Oprah Winfrey show talking about her Jewish family and how for centuries they've been involved in having babies for the purpose purposes of ritual sacrifice. Like that's moving around right now. And so I think, of course it is that. That, that whole, like humans who are into these satanic because who are Satan worshipers basically hiding inside religious cults basically is something that people have speculated for a long time. So now you have this Epstein thing. I don't think the Epstein thing is really Republican or Democrat.
Laura Stylez
I don't look at it like that either.
Peter Rosenberg
I don't look at it like that at all. I look at it as elites who are into crazy ish who had no. They had no kind of regard for humanity or any of that, and they're into some weirdo ish. Are they all ritualistic Satanists? I don't know. But some of them, definitely. The shoe fits, you know what I'm saying? And I think that's why people spiral so much. Because you're talking about children. I get it. Even by the way they even say spiraling. No, no, no.
Ebro Darden
Still, that's why spiraling.
Peter Rosenberg
It is a spiral.
Laura Stylez
I totally. I totally understood what you were saying, Rosenberg. Sometimes things are so crazy, you're just asking people to look deeper, read, do a little research. Because it could muddy the waters. And it's true. People were. Yo, Rosenberg. I had to defend you multiple times, too. I was surprised by Rosenberg.
Ebro Darden
No, we were. We were so disappointed. You've lost, bro. Nothing that I said shows that I am not on the right side of history. I'm simply saying if you go on to a basic, your chat, GPT or Gemini to help you sort through the things that already exist and say, can
Peter Rosenberg
you go on Claude? Everybody's saying, which one?
Ebro Darden
Claude's apple. Claude apple.
Peter Rosenberg
No, no, no, I don't know.
Ebro Darden
That's a different one.
Peter Rosenberg
Claude is just the one that I guess the company is very, very focused on. Responsible AI. I'LL get you the company.
Guest Speaker
Claude.
Ebro Darden
First time I'm hearing the company that does it is responsible. Great.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah, allegedly. That's what people are saying. Haven't done the research.
Ebro Darden
Because a lot of people in the comments were going, you're Rosenberg. Read the files. If y' all don't shut the F up like you've read the file, quote, unquote. Read the files, guys. Reading through pieces of the files of the millions and millions of pages, you guys acting as if you've been sitting there reading it and not just getting the specific parts highlighted that you've seen is a joke. And if you try to go ask anyone, any of these apps to go through it and say, can you give me if there's any credible proof of X, Y or Z, they will blatantly tell you it's not.
Peter Rosenberg
So the other trouble that people are having right now is when you use the word credible. I think that's the part where people are really having a time discerning what, what and who is credible and based on who owns it, what the angle is, all of that. And I would say maybe you need to use a source like ground news.
Ebro Darden
There you go.
Peter Rosenberg
You know what I mean? To figure out what. Where the source is coming. I love ground news because I really, I. I'm similar where it's like. Where it's like, some of this stuff is too far this way, some of this stuff is too far that way. I just want somebody to aggregate stuff in a certain place and give me the slant and the focus and whatever. But Claude AI is ran by a company named Anthropic. Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former people who worked at Open AI, which I think is Chat GPT.
Ebro Darden
Yeah, yeah.
Laura Stylez
Yes.
Peter Rosenberg
The reason they left is because they wanted to start a company that had a focus on AI safety and developing more reliable, interpretable AI systems.
Laura Stylez
Okay, okay. Which is important.
Peter Rosenberg
Claude AI. Now, I haven't used it. Don't know if it's good or easy or all the things. I don't know if you guys have also noticed there's some, some IG content creators who are talking about, you know, a movement to unattach yourself or I guess unsubscribe from all of these different apps and AIs and platforms, but. And also admitting while they're doing it that they have to use platforms to actually tell people that they're doing the thing that they're asking you to do, which is its own rabbit hole. But some people are. Are just taking themselves all the way off. Tick Tock. All the way off. All the things and focusing on IG Blue sky and what's the other one? They're saying people are. And you know, people have their problems with Zuckerberg, but I guess because now you have the. What's the family name? The Ellison family. And pretty much controls the Tick Tock, the US Version of Tick Tock. People are trying to get out of that.
Ebro Darden
Cbs.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ebro Darden
I mean, you know, they, last week they let, they let this guy from UFC say the most horrible things like anyone's ever said on a microphone. And there were no repercussions leading into his fight. This guy, Sean Strickland, not surprised. Like when I say anti, I don't mean like giving light political opinions. He called bad bunny the F word multiple times. Came after, after gay people, transgender people said some weird racist, anti black stuff. He just non stop said no one.
Peter Rosenberg
Randy Kamen, he checked all the boxes every.
Ebro Darden
No interest. Who watches women's sports? No one would ever care about women sports. They're not good athletes. I mean, he just went on and on. No repercussions. He still fought on Saturday night. That's it. No one cares.
Peter Rosenberg
Well, is that their attempt to try to be like. Like that, make him a bad guy or. They were celebrating.
Ebro Darden
He's been doing like, he's been doing this. This is just who he is.
Peter Rosenberg
But because UFC is an actual leg, a legitimate sport, you would think there would be some sort of regulation. Is your point against this kind of talk?
Ebro Darden
Yeah, I know Dana White believes in like not regulating speech, but this is the definition when we talk about. But you can't go, you know, yell fire in a crowded movie theater. That's basically what he's doing. He's just screaming horrible things to try to incite people. You would think there'd be a line where Dana White would be like, hey, dude, we let people express themselves, but this is. You're just being hateful.
Laura Stylez
But no, they're going to defend it as freedom of speech. But anyway, guys, they cut his mic
Ebro Darden
in the post press conference. That's it. Sorry.
Laura Stylez
So I don't know if you guys saw this, but Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting the first award of the night at the BAFTA Awards, which is the British Academy Film Awards in London. Now, this went viral because a man by the name of John Davidson, okay, who is a Caucasian man with Tourette syndrome, yelled the N word while they were presenting it. Yell the nword. Everyone's quiet. They're presenting and you hear it? Oh, yeah. Now we have a video. It's obviously the N word is end edited, but watch this.
Ebro Darden
We edit it.
Peter Rosenberg
Del and I are delighted to be presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of movie making. We're here to celebrate. There you go. Delroy, stay focused.
Ebro Darden
Hour delay, I'm told, Laura, I'm told the show was on an hour delay, which is crazy. They still managed to have that N word. Get in there.
Peter Rosenberg
Yo.
Laura Stylez
So the host, so real quickly, the host Alan coming later, asked for understanding and you know, he was saying like, yo, this can be a part of how Tourette's syndrome shows up for some people. You know, that man is the inspiration behind a award winning movie, I swear, which dives into the condition of Tourette's. Bro, you couldn't edit that out of here. I don't gotta hear. Especially if there's a delay.
Peter Rosenberg
All right, so the F out of here was for the people managing the delay.
Ebro Darden
Right?
Peter Rosenberg
The F out of here is also for like. So two black people are on stage, the applause go immediately silent and that just happens. But why those words? That's what I've never understood when people say about why those words. Why are the words aligned with slander for the person that is on the stage or that you're talking to? Does that mean. Is the way Tourette's works? Means the words have, are. Have been input in your memory bank. You see a thing and you don't have controls over the words coming out, but the words are in the memory bank.
Ebro Darden
Correct. That that is, that is how it works.
Peter Rosenberg
I mean, but that means that you thought the words. Does that mean you. But we can't prove what you thought?
Ebro Darden
Well, think about it like this, right? If, if, if you were, if any of us had Tourette's, and I'm just guessing here, based on what I've seen on both social media and some documentaries, and knowing a couple people with Tourette's over the years, if, if you. We have, we all have bad words in our head that exist and know what would be the least appropriate thing to ever be said. I think that's what the tick can be like.
Peter Rosenberg
So you would just be talking, you would be talking right now and all of a sudden I'd call you a slur just because you're talking. So that means my brain thought that slur, but I couldn't. But it's in a part of my brain that I can't control.
Ebro Darden
You're like, it sounds like you're questioning Tourette's being real, which I.
Peter Rosenberg
No, no, no. I'm trying to. I'm questioning why is the wor mind. Like, it would be one thing if they just screamed out or. Or. Yeah, but that mother effer or. You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm trying to say. Why did you go N word?
Guest Speaker
Why?
Peter Rosenberg
Because I'm sure there were other people on stage who weren't N words. Did the N word fly out then?
Laura Stylez
Okay, listen, listen. We have a. In the chat, Sovereign wmn, she says, I've worked in mental health and neuropsychology for 20 years. Tourette's is not controll. But definitely not specific. This dude needs to apologize.
Ebro Darden
But definitely not specific.
Laura Stylez
That's what she says. I just, It's.
Ebro Darden
I've been watching a lot on social media of people seeing people with Tourette's say racial slurs and being like, nah, bruh, nah. I listen, I don't know. I don't think that's how it works. I feel like.
Peter Rosenberg
Well, and that's why I'm asking, like, for instance. For instance. For instance, they walked out on stage, there were people applauding. Why didn't it happen? While people were applauding? Why did it ha. Why did it happen? Maybe. I don't know. But why did you.
Ebro Darden
When it was.
Peter Rosenberg
You wouldn't have heard it.
Ebro Darden
Right?
Peter Rosenberg
But if it did happen when they were applauding, wouldn't have his. His person or people helped him not have the next.
Ebro Darden
I don't.
Peter Rosenberg
Moment.
Ebro Darden
I don't think that's happening. I think the question is, should you leave now? That's a question for me. Like, if you feel. If it starts once, should you just get up and run out? Like, if I can't stop this and I'm at an award show, I'm not on my front porch. Maybe I need to leave because you can control that. But I will tell you guys, I have a couple of follows. Not follows. I have a couple of people with Tourette's who are in my algorithm. Who?
Peter Rosenberg
I see the one girl. The girl.
Ebro Darden
I've seen you guys the girl before.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah, I watch it. It's amazing to me.
Ebro Darden
Yo, she's with her mom, hanging out with her mom and talking about sucking Ds and give me all the Ds and the. She's saying the worst sexual horrifying stuff to say in front of your mom possible.
Peter Rosenberg
But once again. But once again, that's not. I mean, it's a specific, but it's not specific. At the mom. But it's specific.
Ebro Darden
You wouldn't want to talk about that stuff in front of your mom.
Peter Rosenberg
Right, but I'm only questioning. You specifically said racial slurs for the people on stage. You, them, and your uncontrollable part of your brain locked in on the slur. That's all I'm questioning. Because it could have been. It could have been a lot of other. He could have. He could have. He could have screamed out S my D or the F word. But maybe.
Ebro Darden
And again, we are three people completely speculating on an illness we don't know that much about.
Peter Rosenberg
Well, I'm hoping somebody. Hope somebody emails us and gives us some.
Ebro Darden
But if. If your brain. If your brain knows what the most inappropriate thing is, which they do, they know what the worst things are. These are normal people. In that way. There's cognitively smart.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah.
Ebro Darden
You know what the. You know what the worst thing is? So seeing two black dudes on stage, somewhere in your brain, you know what's the worst possible thing that you could do? Maybe. And then. And then.
Peter Rosenberg
And is that the way that the trigger goes? It's like, I don't know. We don't.
Ebro Darden
I don't know. I don't know. I'm sure I'm getting hammered. Rosenberg's okay with people saying the N word. I know.
Laura Stylez
He's just explaining.
Ebro Darden
I think that the clips I see, people say the worst. It's just always so often it's the worst stuff.
Peter Rosenberg
Ah, but this one is so timely and so, like, on point that it's like, bro. And I got to shout out Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo. They just stay focused.
Laura Stylez
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Peter Rosenberg
Because you know me, I'd have been like, what, bitch?
Laura Stylez
What?
Ebro Darden
You say that.
Peter Rosenberg
Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Laura Stylez
Who said that?
Ebro Darden
Ebro ends up attacking the guy who's nominated.
Peter Rosenberg
His film was now nominated for Tourette. About explaining.
Ebro Darden
Yes.
Peter Rosenberg
Oh, producer.
Ebro Darden
He won with the movie one.
Peter Rosenberg
All right, listen, you guys know I'm not all the way buying it. I think it was promo for his movie.
Ebro Darden
Oh, God.
Laura Stylez
Terrible promo.
Ebro Darden
I mean, we're talking about it. I might. I might watch.
Peter Rosenberg
You know what I'm saying?
Ebro Darden
What's going on? Exactly. This guy's for real.
Peter Rosenberg
Exactly. It's promo. It's all promo. Now I gotta shout out Coogler. Coogler was the first black person to ever win the director award at bafta.
Ebro Darden
Wow.
Laura Stylez
Amazing.
Peter Rosenberg
For the script, like, for original script.
Ebro Darden
Well, that. No director or original screenplay.
Peter Rosenberg
I thought it was for a director. Of an director. Of an original screenplay. I thought that's what it was. Correct me if I'm wrong there, chat. And.
Ebro Darden
And I'll be honest, it doesn't sound right, but it could be. But direct, either. It was for directing Sinners, though.
Laura Stylez
Yes, that's dope. Dope.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah. Now he was shocked, too. Shocked. Oh, that's what it is. Best Original Screenplay.
Ebro Darden
Oh, he won for Best Original Screenplay. Got it.
Peter Rosenberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ebro Darden
So not for directing, for writing.
Laura Stylez
Man, there's so much more. We gotta wrap this up, though.
Peter Rosenberg
Do we? I mean, I'm having a great time. Do you want to get to the lowdown or not?
Laura Stylez
I mean, I don't really. I don't really have a lowdown, but I.
Peter Rosenberg
Look, I just want to get to the lowdown because I want to play the intro. You know how I get down.
Laura Stylez
Yeah, but I'm not taking you to the hell. I'm not taking you to hell.
Peter Rosenberg
Do I have the lowdown? Stop. Don't play with me. Hold on to your speakers.
Laura Stylez
It's time for the low down
Peter Rosenberg
with Laura Sty.
Laura Stylez
I think I just took you to hell with that, with the BAFTAs, because that, to me was so nuts.
Peter Rosenberg
That was. That was low down. That was. Yeah, listen, but the whole thing where they want people who don't understand to be, like, patient and have understanding. Bro, you yelled out the N word. You know, I'm. I'm sorry if you got problems or not. The same way you're triggered and your brain gets triggered and you got Tourette's. Guess what? I'm triggered, too.
Laura Stylez
I. And I don't like it when they're like, if you were offended, it's offensive. Like, if. For those of you who are offended,
Ebro Darden
like, to me, that's probably the most egregious thing, because how did you. You had to say, we apologize. Something happened. It was offensive.
Laura Stylez
Yes.
Ebro Darden
There's no. There's no if. It wasn't just some people. That was a. That was objectively offensive that it happened.
Peter Rosenberg
All right, listen, we got one more piece of content to get to here on the Ebro. Laura Rosenberg show the girl, okay? Oh, that didn't work. Yeah, we gotta get to the gurus. That's right.
Ebro Darden
Originals.
Peter Rosenberg
Let's do it.
Laura Stylez
Hey, yo.
Peter Rosenberg
It's time for the gurus. Rosenberg. Laura, you know, you are a beautiful queen. Ebro. Don't ever play yourself. You're not a guru. Hey, hey, hey. Wow. That's right.
Laura Stylez
Guru.
Ebro Darden
The original guru at Gmail.
Peter Rosenberg
That's right.
Laura Stylez
That's where You. That's where we help you write to us. Erna, Sage and Rosenberg. Tell us who's out there as you bought to your guru beach. Who's writing to us?
Peter Rosenberg
What is his hand? What is his hand? Think. Your wife. Is that a move your wife taught you? Is that something your wife taught you?
Ebro Darden
My mother in law. My mother in law does this.
Laura Stylez
She does,
Peter Rosenberg
yeah.
Laura Stylez
All right, who's writing?
Ebro Darden
But then the song turns and now it starts doing. What could this be for you?
Peter Rosenberg
Now it kind of does kind of go. It does go a laugh on you, right?
Laura Stylez
Yeah. Bring it down.
Peter Rosenberg
Good morning. You knew this though, but you knew this.
Ebro Darden
Girls in a row is crazy. I've been side eyeing. For years now. Constant bickering. The girls get involved. I know they look at him differently. And if I'm being honest, so do I. It's hard to separate good dad from. What are you thinking? I'm 47. I've been a mom my whole life. I don't know anything else. So what do I do? Is this just political differences or is this a values issue you do I call cast one and have him burn it all down or do I learn to live with it and protect my peace? Pray for me, gurus. Sincerely, a tired mama trying to keep the house from turning into a debate stage.
Laura Stylez
Oh my goodness.
Ebro Darden
This is, this is deeper than rap, guys.
Peter Rosenberg
Well, isn't there a world where, you know, look, there's. So you guys have a house of eight or maybe some people have moved out now. So the oldest is 23. So however, 26, however many people are still left in the house. There's at least five people still in the house. There's gonna always. And this is what I'm told from people who grew up in large families, there's always a time when somebody in the house is wild and doing something crazy and they have to get iced out. You know what I mean? Like where it's just kind of like the family is not agreeing with you. We're not. It's just not gonna happen. And so this might be one of those scenarios.
Laura Stylez
Yeah. And the sad part is because of the way, you know, the messaging behind maga, I know it hurts because she's raising Latina women. Sexism, the racism, the, the equality issues, like everything. And I know they all feel it deep because, you know, guys, let's not act like my cheeseburger doesn't run rampant in our community. So I think that it breaks their hearts at some point. Like, not in my house, but you're into your House. And a lot of people have this mentality, like it's not gonna affect mine, you know what I mean? Like, because I remember having a discussion with somebody and she's like, yeah. And I told my parents, what if, you know, they were talking about abortion, sexual assault, incest, just putting all these different scenarios. And I remember that she said that, oh, well, if that happens to you, then we, we can figure it out. And that to me was like, oh, so you're okay with it when it hits home? You're okay with it when it's close to you. And that's usually what it is, guys. These people are brainwashed. Like it's wild and it's really sad.
Peter Rosenberg
Some call it brainwashed, some call it stupid. I call it stupid. I think if you're unable to empathize with other people and you're unable to stop and actually think about what other people might be going through, especially if you're an adult,
Ebro Darden
When you see Donald Trump, talk.
Peter Rosenberg
Him.
Ebro Darden
Well, I don't like racist stuff much or like, I just, I don't understand, I do not understand how you love girls this much. And this, this guy who. Remember, they happen about that five years, six years later, in the. Seven years later. In that case, Imagine my brain, my brain. But I will say this, maybe there's a world.
Peter Rosenberg
But there is, but there is. You do have to factor in the loss of respect. But in some ways, I got to hit this woman with a butt.
Ebro Darden
Oh, come on, bro.
Peter Rosenberg
Congratulations.
Laura Stylez
Why?
Peter Rosenberg
You knew this guy, man, you saw behavior, if you really stopped, you've been with this person for 20 something years. You didn't see, you didn't see ignorant behavior that you looked past. And it was kind of like, listen, ladies, you have to ask yourself if you operated in a space of a boy will be boy type of mentality as a. It applies to your significant other with some of their behavior and mistreatment of people for marginalized group or people who were, you know, for loot jokes, disgusting jokes, and it was just jokes. And you were okay with that type of behavior Constantly. And then later on, later on, like when real things happen, they're incapable of, of actually being different. Bro, you got to hit yourself with the button.
Ebro Darden
But don't you think congratulations.
Peter Rosenberg
Maybe gave him a certain level of. Cuz there is that fact. That's fact. There is a certain level of, oh, it's okay now for me to let my guard down.
Ebro Darden
I feel like I never, I never was.
Peter Rosenberg
I'm a respected person.
Ebro Darden
I never said that stuff. But I have also had these feelings. Wife as like a white person.
Peter Rosenberg
This husband is white. I mean I guess it could be white Latin, I don't know. Yeah, could be like listen, Laura, talk to them. You know, maybe it's not my place to put the tar off, but I'm told by Laura Styles that, you know, there's people, white people, they just speak Spanish. That's it.
Laura Stylez
That's it guys.
Peter Rosenberg
They don't see themselves as indigenous. Any connection to indigenous. None of the.
Laura Stylez
No, no, no, no. Even when you go to certain countries, like actually every country. What am I saying? Every Latin American country, you hear the racism, you hear the colorism, you hear the anti indigenous rhetoric, you hear it all. And it's rape by the way.
Peter Rosenberg
It's rape.
Laura Stylez
So it doesn't surprise me. I mean, listen, I'm not going to tell you the Gillian dwarf.
Peter Rosenberg
I am kiddos of war.
Laura Stylez
I just feel like. I just don't.
Peter Rosenberg
You got a 26 year old kid. Have the 26 year old explain it to the 10 year old. Yeah, right.
Laura Stylez
Yeah. This one, this one's a tough one but I'm just. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you gotta deal with this. Well, you better stand your brand of a life every day where you stand because of your girl. Sorry.
Peter Rosenberg
There it is. Congratulations. You played yourself. On the way out.
Ebro Darden
We gotta say shouts to turbo.
Peter Rosenberg
Read the people that agree with him before. Read the same one twice. Justice is. We did that today. We did at 120 today. This drop shout to Hot shout to Hot Rod Rick and and Tommy Briggs for the reposting all the time. Everybody that tags, Listen. When it was coming out of my mouth when I said it, I thought about the things that I'm not too understanding about. Like things that my brain just can't wrap around. And I actually work on trying to be understanding. It's tough. It's not easy.
Laura Stylez
Thanks guys.
Peter Rosenberg
Y Listen man, we see you tomorrow 8am Maybe we'll be able to make it to the studio. It's Brim super super in his building cloud. Laura sh and her building clouds. Bas said it wasn't so bad.
