[26:00–34:55]

• Mark Ronson is exec producing and will handle music.
• Rosenberg details the long, difficult process to even get a script order ("Been working on this for two years..."), and how Mark Ronson being attached was pivotal.

• “I created the show. This literally was...” – Rosenberg, 28:10
• Ebro repeatedly teases about interruptions and the endless cycle of development hell in TV: “Celebrate this far!”

Ebro's Algo: The Military, Trump & War Truths

[36:19–51:18]

Troop Voting Patterns & Hypocrisy

[36:27–39:55]

• Featured data: Over 60% of active military and veterans voted for Trump (via Joshua Dawson on Tiktok).
• “Your vote does matter.”
• Ebro & team unpack the contradiction: Those who claim to oppose war voted for a candidate now escalating conflicts.
• On racism and sexism overriding policy concerns:
  • “‘Do you think they didn’t believe it, or you think that they cared about the other thing more? The racist part. They love the racism so much it’s worth it.’” (Rosenberg, 39:01)

Voter Suppression & Community Frustration

• Laura voices stress about ongoing voter suppression (“It triggers me,” 40:16).
• Frustration with hypocrisy & rightward tilt in parts of the Latino community—false patriotism, using religion as cover—which often aligns with anti-immigrant rhetoric despite Trump’s history of targeting Latinos.

Trump, War, and the Rest of the World

[42:38–46:21]

• Recounting Trump’s 2016 escalator speech—how his campaign demonized Latinos from day one.
• The trio laments that many still fall for the propaganda, despite Trump’s open disdain.

Iran, The US and “Are We the Bad Guys?”

[46:21–50:35]

• Discussion of the recent U.S. torpedo attack on an unarmed Iranian warship at an Indian ceremony.
  • “We just killed people who happen to be Iranian … not participating in the war at all...” (Ebro, 48:22)
• Admission: US actions look morally indefensible, with mounting civilian/military casualties and gross mismanagement.
• Independent journalists allegedly reporting that the government is undercounting US casualties in the Middle East.

---

Trump’s Relationship Drama & Melania Audio

[52:05–64:55]

• New audio from the film Melania: Melania Trump’s post-election call with Donald Trump is dissected for tone and subtext.
  • Melania’s disengaged, perfunctory responses (“Hi Mr. President. Congratulations… That's great… I had meetings all day… That’s a good one…”).
  • Ebro: “Her tone is like she’s talking to a child.” (54:03)
  • Whole team agrees: The call sounds like two co-workers, not spouses. “Have you ever had a conversation with someone, just a co-worker, but they’re busy and you’re trying to give them an update…?” (Ebro, 55:38)

Guru Segment as Comic Therapy

• Segment morphs into a “Guru” lesson:

  • If your relationships sound like Melania & Trump’s, “this is not a healthy relationship.”
  • Fear that Trump’s dysfunctional home life translates into poor leadership (“...maybe he's adding danger to our situation.” – Rosenberg, 57:09)

• Running joke: Discussion spirals into speculation about Trump’s alleged incontinence (referencing long-standing rumors reported by “Midas Touch” and others).

• Ebro: “If you are in a relationship and you talk to your significant other in this way, this is not a healthy relationship!” (56:54)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the value of community:

  • “But she said, I love you guys and thank, keeping the show going for all of us, man.” (Rosenberg quoting listener, 03:57)

• On the hardship of TV development:

  • “Been working on this for two years just for anyone to have an idea of how hard this thing is… We are still in development.” (Rosenberg, 27:26)
  • “Celebrate this far. … Even if the show sucks and they like suck it dry, you got a Mark Ronson song.” (Ebro, 32:07)

• On Kanye West’s history with the media:

  • “His natural reaction to conversation with media is so adversarial. And it’s, like, built in. Every time I communicated with him, it would go left.” (Rosenberg, 21:30)

• On military & voting hypocrisy:

  • “I want to be careful to not infantilize our troops now that the person that they overwhelmingly voted for might be putting them in a hostile situation.” (Joshua Dawson, 37:21)

• On US actions overseas:

  • “We shot torpedoes at it and killed 80, 87 people who weren’t participating in anything except a ceremonial parade in India.” (Ebro, 48:25)

• On “family values” and actual relationships:

  • “[Trump and Melania] are co-workers. These are absolutely co-workers.” (Ebro, 56:09)

Conclusion

This episode is vintage ELR: sharp cultural insights, deep dives into how media and politics interact, and plenty of humor and honesty about the struggles (and absurdities) of making change—whether in community, TV, or politics. The team’s transparency about their own projects and flaws makes even the heavy segments accessible and worthwhile.

A must-listen for listeners who want honest, layered, and entertaining takes on everything from music and TV to the ugly realities of American democracy in 2026.

[Rosenberg]

That's right.

[Ebro]

Make sure you. When. When you subscribe, though, you hit the hype button. I'm told that's a. A really good thing. Well, actually, no. Once videos go up, you hit the hype button. That's how you do. You subscribe. Then when you're watching videos, you hit the hype.

[Rosenberg]

Then you hide.

[Laura]

And by the way, while you're in the chat, minimize the chat and hit the like button.

[Ebro]

People.

[Laura]

People are like, where is it?

[Ebro]

They're asking a lot. I'll be honest. YouTube's asking you to do a lot of work. But if you're a part of the El Ar know, throughout listening to the show today, hopefully you can make that a part of your viewing habits. All right, Laura's got the rundown. We'll get to the gurus. We missed some special super chats yesterday.

[Rosenberg]

Rosenberg. Yeah, we missed. I did. I lost some of them, but hold on. But I have one.

[Ebro]

Somebody gave a hundred dollars in the super chat.

[Rosenberg]

That one I have. Okay, that one I have. Did Griff send it? No, hold on, hold on.

[Ebro]

Here it is. Here.

[Rosenberg]

Louie sent it, right? He sent it to the show. Here we go.

[Ebro]

We go.

[Rosenberg]

I got the button ready, and I'm Stephanie Corral. I'm on my husband' account. Freddy.

[Ebro]

Wait, Stephanie's the one that gave us the gift?

[Rosenberg]

Yep.

[Laura]

That's her friend who gave.

[Rosenberg]

She also gave. That's Stephanie car. That's the same person? Yeah.

[Ebro]

I mean, unless it's two people with the same name.

[Laura]

No, no, it's her.

[Rosenberg]

She also sent $100.

[Joshua Dawson]

What?

[Laura]

Stephanie.

[Ebro]

Yo, Steph, listen, chill. Stephanie, the real question. No, don't. Stephanie, the real question is, are you subscribed to the Patreon?

[Rosenberg]

You need more? She gave us a gift.

[Ebro]

Well, no, I'm saying she gave us the gift.

[Rosenberg]

She has to be on Patreon. Come on. She. Of course, she.

[Ebro]

Or she could buy some merch. Laura's got new merch coming out soon.

[Rosenberg]

But she said, I love you guys and thank. Keeping the show going for all of us, man.

[Ebro]

We got your card. If you missed the show yesterday, Stephanie gave us a cool sign. Custom sign. We shouted out. I think it's her business. Sunny Acres, but Stephanie Corral. Yeah. See, same lady, right?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, yeah, I guess so.

[Ebro]

That's the car.

[Rosenberg]

That is I. Now I gotta find the rest of the super chats from yesterday, but I'm gonna find them, okay? Because we owe some people some shout outs.

[Laura]

Okay.

[Rosenberg]

Really nice.

[Ebro]

We got plans. We do have plans, by the way. Been talking to some. Some companies about Our plans.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Ebro]

I. I want to get these plans moving for the spring. I want. When the warm weather starts to really, you know, after the. The.

[News Reporter]

The.

[Ebro]

The spring solstice.

[Laura]

Yep.

[Ebro]

Days are longer. You know what I mean? After Easter, Easter's on the way.

[Rosenberg]

That's when the big. That's when you want to drop new plans.

[Ebro]

Well, I feel like that's when it needs to be. We need to be outside.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Ah, Outside plans.

[Ebro]

Outside plans.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. I think it's good timing. I'm excited about it.

[Ebro]

What do you guys feel about this? I'd love to hear from you guys in the chat because we've been thinking about a family. Like a family summer fest. Yeah, we've been talking about this. How'd those calls go, Laura?

[Laura]

Not well.

[Rosenberg]

What do you mean?

[Ebro]

They don't want us around?

[Laura]

No, they do. And they love us. Just timing wise time.

[Ebro]

We're late, we're late, we're late.

[Laura]

That's it.

[Rosenberg]

We're already late.

[Ebro]

We're already late for summer plans.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, there's no. There's no room anymore. No, they have everything booked. We'd have to do our own.

[Laura]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ebro]

Which is fine too, I think. I've talked some people who are willing to support. Wait, but I also talked to Juvenile and Manny Fresh.

[Rosenberg]

Hello. Okay.

[Ebro]

About having them, like, host a party.

[Laura]

Yes.

[Ebro]

Like, so that way it's like a juvie Manny Fresh party. It's not a concert. It's like, really like Manny Fred. Because, you know, Manny Fred is a real party dj, Right?

[Rosenberg]

For sure.

[Ebro]

While Juveniles hosting and performing and doing songs.

[Rosenberg]

That could be something.

[Ebro]

That's something.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Laura]

Let me tell you something, ladies. Take Tylenol before you go to the party because that back is gonna hurt.

[Rosenberg]

You mean the dancing could be a problem back that day? Take your Tylenol is crazy.

[Ebro]

You know Juvenile is about to drop

[Rosenberg]

a new album, right? Okay.

[Ebro]

So that's why I talked to him on Apple Music. I'm gonna drop that convo pretty soon.

[Rosenberg]

I like that. Yeah.

[Laura]

Great idea.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. But I don't know. Do we just do Manny and juvie or.

[Ebro]

Well, I was thinking it's a series, like, we can do. It's not. It's a one thing. We do that and then we do another thing. And then we do another thing, we start to build. Right. Cause if we want to get back in, you know, MetLife Stadium one day, we gotta build the.

[Laura]

We can start up a.

[Ebro]

That's all I need to walk into my house and be like, yo, babe, running it back. We're at MetLife Stadium. She's gonna be like, why do you do this?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, yeah. I'm running an entire concert at MetLife Stadium. I don't know if we need that.

[Laura]

Ebro is a completely different person backstage.

[Rosenberg]

But that would be actually, you know, it would be an interesting, you know, listen. It seems crazy, but if it was, if ultimately things went crazy, really well, it would be a fun thing to do one day to go full. That's why there are levels. Right. Like I did Peter Palooza, which is not Summer Jam. We could find the sweet spot between Peter Palooza and Summer Jam.

[Laura]

Peter Palooza was a moment, though.

[Rosenberg]

No, no, they were big. They were big shows. A couple thousand people, big shows. So there's a way to do it

[Ebro]

where we can absolutely go. Paramount and Brooklyn. Kings Theater. You know what I mean? Beacon even. We could do Radio City. Even though it's too pricey, but that size?

[Rosenberg]

Yes, for sure. There's a lot of options there. I like that. The Manny juvie party be a good vibe.

[Laura]

Ye.

[Rosenberg]

When? So when do you think that would suck? Summertime.

[Ebro]

I don't know. I didn't get that.

[Laura]

Yeah, and it can be too late.

[Ebro]

We'll talk late. Like in the day.

[Laura]

No, I mean, you can't have it till like 4 in the morning.

[Ebro]

No, no, listen, ladies and gentlemen, if I do anything and we do anything with the ELR army, just know it starts at 7.

[Rosenberg]

Yes, but if it's warm weather, you. We could do straight day party vibes.

[Ebro]

Yeah, yeah, but I'm not working on weekends with y'. All. You crazy?

[Rosenberg]

You want to be a weeknight?

[Ebro]

I gotta ride my bike on Sundays.

[Laura]

No, we could do it like Friday night.

[Rosenberg]

Friday night count. That's weekend even. Saturday night is Friday night.

[Ebro]

I'm fine with.

[Rosenberg]

But you're not doing Saturday night.

[Ebro]

Out of the question.

[Rosenberg]

Because you're not messing up your Sunday rock.

[Ebro]

That's right. And Selassie and Issa got activities on Saturday. I got places to be.

[Rosenberg]

You know, it'd be a vibe too. I mean, if it was the summertime, I could maybe take off my other gig. But like a Friday, sort of early.

[Ebro]

Oh, summer Friday.

[Rosenberg]

Like a summer Friday. Happy hour starts at 3 o'. Clock. People start coming in 4 or 5, but guess what? By 8, 9, it's a wrap. Go make your dinner plans. Go somewhere else. But for nice. Four or five hours Friday evening.

[Laura]

That's fire.

[Ebro]

Sounds good. Not bad.

[Laura]

I like this.

[Ebro]

My knee. My knees. Like this.

[Laura]

Yeah, we're taking care of the adults. And I'm working on the family vibes where you can bring your kid.

[Rosenberg]

You want to bring your kid?

[Laura]

Yes. I'm talking to Vashti, our girl.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, that's a different event.

[Ebro]

Different event.

[Laura]

Different events.

[Ebro]

So we got. We got plan. Like I said, we got plans. We're planning.

[Rosenberg]

Okay, I have super chats.

[Ebro]

Here we go. Super chat from Rosenberg.

[Rosenberg]

These are from yesterday that we missed. Someone wanted to give a happy birthday shout out to their son Jason. That's pursuance. Wanted to do that. Person came through, just gave money. That's it. Kept it moving. Stephanie, I mentioned Lil X came through with $2 and said, hi, Rosenberg. I drew a picture of you as a rose. What? Where Tina came through and said, loyal, fought for life. Unsolicited show idea. Spanish word of the day with Laura. Also, money jar for every time you guys interrupt Laura, she be wealthy. Have a good day.

[Ebro]

I've been working on it. I've been. I lack patience. That's the problem.

[Laura]

Should I do my money jar?

[Rosenberg]

It's not a bad idea.

[Ebro]

Do a money jar.

[Laura]

A dollar each time, by the way.

[Rosenberg]

It would be really funny, wouldn't it?

[Ebro]

I'm down.

[Rosenberg]

It would be encouraging to us. It would probably make an impact. No one wants to give away money. And, you know, Ebro's not gonna have singles.

[Ebro]

I'll pay. I'll pay, like, $10 to interrupt sometimes. So I can't take it.

[Rosenberg]

I just need to get.

[Ebro]

I'd be like, look, Laura, this is taking too long. He wrote 10.

[Rosenberg]

No, listen. Ebro's an interrupter. I'm an interrupter somewhat too, but Hebro's an interrupter. I don't know what the interrupt gene is. It's a thing like, when I do it, I'm like, why am I doing that? It's not that I think you're boring. It's that I'm over.

[Ebro]

I interrupt both of y'. All. So you just did it.

[Rosenberg]

That's what.

[Ebro]

You know why? Because it takes too long. Get to the damn point.

[Rosenberg]

But that's. But what? Is that really what it is?

[Ebro]

It's my patience.

[Rosenberg]

But it's not that the person's taking too long. It's that you are me. You want to talk now?

[Ebro]

It's me.

[Rosenberg]

I need to say it.

[Ebro]

That's right. Or whatever you just said sparks something that I don't want to miss. Because you may move on to the next thing. And once you miss the opportunity to go, let's see.

[Rosenberg]

Tina came through and said, loyal, fought for life. Unsolicited oh, you already did that unsolicited show idea. David came through and said, best show in the world. Keep up the excellentness.

[Melania Trump]

Wow, thank you.

[Rosenberg]

Fredo came through.

[Ebro]

What up, Fredo?

[Rosenberg]

Eric Motion said, let's be honest, Timmy was trolling. He was talking about Timothy Chalamet.

[Laura]

Okay,

[Rosenberg]

someone sell x23 came through and said, my. My triple X addiction was NY Donuts. What does that mean? And then he said, if you know, you know. So does he mean actual NY Donuts?

[Ebro]

We don't know. So we don't know. And I don't know why donuts.

[Rosenberg]

I don't idk Sid K. You know, I mean. And then Deontay came through with a 20 spot and said, X2 Bobby566 cries in the feudal position at all the false information he has forced himself to deep throat in his algorithm. Stop hating Duke. I don't know who that. Who they were talking about.

[Ebro]

All right, where's this beef with you? I don't know.

[Rosenberg]

All right, congratulations. And Grim bk Shout out.

[Ebro]

I told Rosenberg to just shout out random chats and this is what we got.

[Rosenberg]

These are the super chats.

[Ebro]

Oh, those were all super chat.

[Rosenberg]

Grim BK came in and said all. Hey, Peter, all your troubles don't have to be a podcast. Lol.

[Ebro]

I mean,

[Rosenberg]

Might as well have some value to the hard times you go through.

[Ebro]

Not only that, but if you have troubles and things you need to work through, what better way to do it with other people?

[Rosenberg]

Facts.

[Ebro]

You can help people who don't have the means maybe to get the help you're getting or the time or the.

[Rosenberg]

The origins. The two second origin story, so you don't interrupt me, was on the day that my life truly exploded. I went on my phone and I was like, I gotta find something like a podcast that I can like, listen to about this problem. Like I need, like, while I'm walking around. Cause I didn't have any place to go, remember the show would end, Laura. And I wasn't going home, so I was just wandering. Yeah, I couldn't find a podcast that was like, really up the alley. So I was like, one day, if I am ever able to put words together again, I'm gonna do a podcast. And here we are.

[Laura]

Look at you now.

[Rosenberg]

So I think it's valuable.

[Ebro]

And you didn't do this on your own. You wanted to do this with the. With the help of the ELR platform.

[Rosenberg]

Well, it's just the timing of it. We.

[Ebro]

Oh, so now you have time.

[Rosenberg]

I didn't plan on Getting fired. I didn't know what was gonna happen. I didn't know how I was gonna do it. I might have even brought it to them. They were like, we wanna do podcasts with you, and we wanna do this and we wanna do that. And I was like, well, I got something dope in the st. I'm thinking, though, I don't know if I want to do it with y', all, because it feels like it won't go well.

[Laura]

Facts.

[Rosenberg]

And then I could do it on my own. But it feels like it should be at least. I feel like whatever we do right now for the time being should at least be adjacently connected to this. This is our people, right?

[Ebro]

I'm just giving you a hard time, man. It's not that deep.

[Laura]

I'm excited for your project.

[Ebro]

I'm happy you're putting it out.

[Rosenberg]

No, listen, That's Ebro. That should be Ebro. I should have a T shirt that says that.

[Ebro]

What?

[Rosenberg]

What do you say? I'm just giving you a hard time. That's literally Ebro's hat. I'm just giving you a hard time. It ain't that deep. It's literally everything he says in his entire life. Do you have the video I sent you yesterday, Joe, that Griff sent you?

[Laura]

Which.

[Ebro]

Does it have a number on it? You got to put numbers on.

[Rosenberg]

I don't know if there's a number on it.

[Ebro]

Oh, man. You got it, though.

[Rosenberg]

No. This is breaking news.

[Ebro]

Breaking news is breaking news. I don't have breaking news. Here we go. Hold on.

[Rosenberg]

Breaking news fresh from the Rosenberg household.

[Ebro]

Here we go.

[Rosenberg]

This is from the Rosenberg household. That's the one I'm talking about. You know I'm talking about Joe. Do you know the one I'm talking about?

[Ebro]

He doesn't know this.

[Rosenberg]

Does he know the one I'm talking about? He. Yo, the look, the way he's slowly pushing buttons.

[Ebro]

Do you know the video?

[Rosenberg]

I mean, okay, what buttons could he be pushing?

[Ebro]

I don't know. I don't know. He's pushing this button we need or

[Laura]

this button on him and Rasa.

[Ebro]

No, he needs a button for this.

[Rosenberg]

He's just like.

[News Reporter]

He's.

[Ebro]

If you just tuned in. Yesterday, we announced Joe is sitting in for Rahsaan, who he had to force to take time out because he's having his fourth child, but thought he could be here while his wife had a Plan C Sect.

[Rosenberg]

And then was in the chat yesterday.

[Ebro]

Was in the chat.

[Rosenberg]

And by the way, congratulations to them. Yeah, we don't have a name yet.

[Ebro]

We don't.

[Rosenberg]

But congratulations.

[Ebro]

Fourth boy they were, man. They was hoping for a girl.

[Rosenberg]

Yo, yo, hit everyone with the button who's like, I'm gonna throw one more in there, see if I get a girl.

[Laura]

Yo. Ricardo was like, that's my life. Because remember, he's four boys. That's what I'm saying.

[Ebro]

Yeah, that's right. That's him and his brothers.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, that's what happened there.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

And they never got one. No.

[Ebro]

So who's the youngest? Yeah. Kerwin was the girl that they wanted to have.

[Laura]

No, technically, it is juice.

[Ebro]

Juice.

[Laura]

I think. I think they were just all. They were just shooting first.

[Ebro]

You don't even actually know who's the youngest.

[Rosenberg]

You don't know the order.

[Laura]

No.

[Rosenberg]

Because of these people. Your in laws.

[Laura]

Because Kerwin is different mother.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, oh, oh. Different mother. Same thing.

[Ebro]

Got it, got it, got it.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. Those jeans are strong, though. Because they all look the same.

[Laura]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rosenberg]

I mean, to some.

[Ebro]

Joe, did you have any success?

[Laura]

Okay.

[Rosenberg]

I don't.

[Ebro]

So you didn't have it?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. Why didn't he just say, I don't have it?

[Ebro]

We don't have that.

[Rosenberg]

Couldn't you just wave off?

[Ebro]

Like, explain to me what the video is before we see it?

[Laura]

He thought he had it.

[Rosenberg]

It was a family video sent to me by Natalie.

[Ebro]

All right.

[Rosenberg]

Okay. Of Maya waking up in the morning.

[Ebro]

Okay.

[Rosenberg]

And accomplishing something.

[Ebro]

All right.

[Rosenberg]

That was worth note.

[Ebro]

And you couldn't wait. You didn't want to wait for Family Matters. This is too hot.

[Rosenberg]

It was too hot for Family Matters. Oh, wow. I was like, not this. This could be my future. But apparently it will live.

[Ebro]

A big fail for the second day for Joe. And the way Joe. You got to move on. You got. You gave it the old Hebo. We got to move on other things.

[Rosenberg]

No. The stall game that we ran for him, bro, Crazy.

[Ebro]

Never. I've never seen anything like.

[Rosenberg]

No, we've never. We had a new topic. We said, let's talk about Laura's in laws and did a whole family tree now.

[Ebro]

El Army. El army, activate. We're about to get into the rundown. But first.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, it's as big, guys. You know, you've heard me talk about the problems in my apartment.

[Ebro]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

To say the least. Yes. Well, I have an update. My room, my bedroom is a thousand degrees. You know, it's one of these places where even though the weather's changing, the furnace still turned up to a million.

[Laura]

Yep.

[Rosenberg]

And it's hot as hell. And we're dying in there. But guess what? We found a solution.

[Ebro]

What is it?

[Rosenberg]

New sheets from Cozy Earth, ladies and

[Ebro]

gentlemen, Cozy Earth sheets.

[Rosenberg]

New partners of the program. They sent us the sheets. Laura, these Cozy Earth sheets. I'm now cool in my sauna of a bedroom. It's amazing.

[Laura]

I understand. I understand. I have some, too.

[Ebro]

Ooh.

[Rosenberg]

Talk to me.

[Ebro]

They sent you a pack.

[Laura]

So listen to me. Listen to me. I have this issue where my man sleeps hot. He's hot all the time.

[Rosenberg]

He's running hot.

[Laura]

I'm cold. I have cold feet. I'm cold. I wrap myself up like a burrito, right? And this has been problem solver because he feels cool in the sheets, right?

[Rosenberg]

That his Dominican heat is cooled by the sheets.

[Laura]

And me, I get to wrap myself in ultimate comfort.

[Rosenberg]

That's beautiful.

[Ebro]

Cozy Earth is known for this high quality comfort. The cooling sheets, the bamboo sheets. We got them, baby.

[Laura]

I love them.

[Ebro]

You can try them for yourself. And not only that, if you're really on it, 10 year warranty on these sheets, man.

[Ebro]

That means they believe in their product. You know, that's what that means.

[Rosenberg]

[Rosenberg]

We don't slow.

[Laura]

All right. Oh, look. Essence Fest announced their lineup.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, this is big.

[Laura]

Yeah, they've been having a lot of, like. It's been a lot of talk behind the scenes.

[Ebro]

Last year, ESSENCE Fest had some controversy with the staging and running on time. And there were some issues down in New Orleans.

[Laura]

Yes, but now listen, Ms. Cardi B will hit that stage.

[Ebro]

Okay?

[Laura]

Lotto.

[Ebro]

All right.

[Laura]

Kehlani, Brandi and Monica and Patti LaBelle.

[Ebro]

Oh, no. That's a good lineup.

[Laura]

Right? Takes place July 3rd to July 5th in New Orleans. And this is just the beginning. So I am pretty sure they're gonna announce big names and it's gonna continue to pop.

[Rosenberg]

That's a pretty. That's already pretty popping out the gate, though.

[Ebro]

Yeah, we're not. Again, Cardi B. Brandi and Monica Lotto.

[Laura]

Kehlani and Patti LaBelle.

[Rosenberg]

Now, this is. This is a vibe. This is pretty good. Patty, what's the date again?

[Laura]

July 3rd through July 5th.

[Ebro]

It's always that July 4th weekend in New Orleans.

[Rosenberg]

Well, you know what, too? The reason I love this. Some people aren't that excited about July 4th these days. Not necessarily. Doesn't necessarily connote a feeling that you're of pride.

[Ebro]

250 years of America.

[Rosenberg]

Well, 250 years of America, when it's in this particular place. Doesn't really feel. Slapping like that.

[Ebro]

Doesn't feel John Blaze.

[Rosenberg]

Doesn't feel John Blaze. So to just go down to Essence Fest.

[Ebro]

Well, New Orleans. Essence Fest. Celebrating black culture. Black American culture and just having a great time with people.

[Rosenberg]

I'm not mad at it, bro.

[Ebro]

That was a good time.

[Rosenberg]

Sounds like a good time.

[Laura]

Fire. Also, Kanye west appears to finally confirm that Bully release date, March 27th for Bully. There's billboards popping up all over LA in Japan.

[Ebro]

So, you know, after our convo the other day about Kanye west and interviewing Kanye West, I was contacted by some individuals who are close to Kanye.

[Rosenberg]

Is that true?

[Ebro]

That is absolute fact.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, what do they say?

[Ebro]

Very close to Kanye.

[Rosenberg]

Very close.

[Ebro]

And they said, Kanye west is doing great.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Ebro]

He's in a great place. Super positive. One of them, the individuals that reached out. Absolutely agreed. We don't need to be doing no interviews.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Laura]

I agree.

[Ebro]

Unabated agreement. Like, yo, he doesn't need.

[Rosenberg]

He doesn't need. It's just not, you know. Did anybody else say they disagree and they think he should absolutely come up?

[Ebro]

No. No, that didn't happen.

[Rosenberg]

No one said.

[Ebro]

But people saw. But our stuff moved around enough for it to be it. People who are close to him's radar.

[Rosenberg]

Well, that's cool.

[Ebro]

I was more intrigued by that than whether what they said. Because I don't give a damn. I love them all. They're great, great people. I love to see Kanye west regain everyone's trust. Like, I'm into that would be awesome. Be awesome. I'd love us to love a song or two. You know what I mean? But let's see.

[Laura]

Let's see.

[Rosenberg]

You think he'll Perform Hail Hitler.

[Ebro]

See, it's people like you. This is why we can't have. No, that's why.

[Rosenberg]

No, I, I do. I, I. For some reason, I have faith this time around, I'm starting to believe maybe

[Ebro]

he realize if he doesn't talk. Remember in the history of Kanye west, it was always when somebody's pushing him or something was happening. That's when he said something or felt like he needed to.

[Rosenberg]

He, like, he reacted.

[Ebro]

Think about the man. Think about.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, you're right. His. His. The way Kanye. His natural reaction to conversation with media is so adversarial. And it's, like, built in. Every time I communicated with him, it would go left.

[Ebro]

It's on video.

[Rosenberg]

They're all on video. I interviewed him in the hallway at Hot 97, and I'm like. I'm like, oh, yeah, man. Today.

[Ebro]

Today.

[Rosenberg]

What was out? Graduation. I was like, our graduation's out today, man. It's kind of a big deal. I'm referencing the movie when I say kind of a big deal. It's Ron Bergamot. The clips then named a song Kind of a Big Deal.

[Ebro]

It's a thing.

[Rosenberg]

It's a phrase. And I just remember right away, he goes, kind of a big deal. And he's not, like, joking. He was legitimately annoyed. Like, I'm playing with him. I'm like, but you're into comedy, you know, Will Ferrell, kind of a big. Just being silly. And then, like, it's just always when he walked in the Drake interview that I'm doing in the locker room in the dressroom at sops, immediately, just weird energy. It doesn't have to be weird.

[Ebro]

Like, well, remember now, Now. And this is your back to your podcast. What's it called?

[Rosenberg]

Validate Me. You could validate now on YouTube.

[Ebro]

Remember, Kanye's origin story is about wanting to be seen, accepted, known for his rapping, his production. Like, think of that whole story. That's the whole story. The whole story is Kanye constantly being like, yo, but me. But me, me, me. I deserve. I'm hot. Pay attention to me.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, you're right. He's the ultimate. And by the way, from the stories you hear about him shopping the way he is with dating, I'm sure he's all I'm. He's looking for. He needs it. He can't get enough. And he's the opposite. His mom, it wasn't that. His mom, you know, didn't show him enough. His mom bathed him in love. But you know what I mean? Was his dad there enough the dad relationships is funky.

[Ebro]

I know, I know. It's. I think it's in a good place now, but.

[Rosenberg]

Right.

[Ebro]

But no, but it was formidable years.

[Rosenberg]

Well, and also, I think sometimes your parents giving you too much love can also create desires.

[Ebro]

But then wasn't there also talk of him having whatever. Not bipolar, but there was some talk of him being young and having some, you know. What's the term you used? Social challenges.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro]

Like he's.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ebro]

I don't know if he was on the spectrum or what it was, but that was talk that his mom had him in some workshops and there might have been some medication and things when he was young, too.

[Rosenberg]

That really is possible, by the way.

[News Reporter]

Yeah.

[Laura]

And then growing up and, like, I don't want to say it's a lot. I've seen this a lot where it's like, when you become an adult, you don't necessarily agree with certain diagnosis. Diagnosis. You know what I mean?

[Rosenberg]

Or you're in denial and you fight back against it.

[Laura]

Yeah, that happens a lot.

[Rosenberg]

You guys see the video moving around this week of the guy at the subway? Of the guy on the subway who's walking on the stairs, and the woman approaches him and is like, do you work for the mta? And he's like, no. And she's like, then why didn't you. Because he. I guess he. He. Someone tried to keep the door open and let someone else go in, and he closed it.

[Ebro]

Oh, right.

[Rosenberg]

And the woman is screaming at this guy, and he's very clearly autistic.

[Laura]

Oh.

[Rosenberg]

And the guy's like, very clearly. He's like, no, of course I don't work for the mta, but it's against the rules. You have to pay the fare. And this effing woman just continues to scream at him until he backs down, and then she walks off like, bleeping moron or whatever. And I'm like, lady, you're the moron. And, you know, I'm a moron caller. You're the moron. How did you not figure out a sentence into this? And then in a bunch of the comments that I saw as this woman's getting flambed, was that a lot of people said that autistic people. It's very common for rule following to be a big part of their life. He was literally doing the right thing

[Ebro]

in his eyes, but expecting somebody who. Think about the type of person that would actually yell at someone for closing the door. Right. So she's also.

[Rosenberg]

And pull the camera out.

[Ebro]

Right. But she's Also, like, not very astute, you know what I'm saying? Like, so think about that type of. So you're already down a bad path.

[Rosenberg]

Yo, that guy left the door. Let me go tell this guy what time he's.

[Ebro]

This guy's following the rules. Let me go bully him.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, you're a weirdo, lady.

[Ebro]

Already off top.

[Laura]

Yeah, that's sad. New show alert.

[Ebro]

Okay.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, here we go.

[Laura]

Hey, I'm on deadline right now.

[Rosenberg]

Okay, Deadline.

[Laura]

Hulu is developing a yacht rocker comedy. Ooh, it says, from Theodore Bressman and Neil Shaw.

[Rosenberg]

Teddy and Neil. Yeah, sure. Shouts to them.

[Laura]

But then as I'm scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, I see Rosenberg's name.

[Rosenberg]

We don't stroll that far.

[Ebro]

Which Rosenberg? There's a lot of Rosenbergs out here.

[Laura]

Rosenberg.

[Ebro]

I don't have a Rosenber.

[Laura]

Oh, Peter Rosenberg and Mark Ronson.

[Ebro]

Oh, I like this.

[Laura]

Oh, tell us a little bit more.

[Ebro]

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

[Rosenberg]

You know what, Laura, I'm glad you found that story on Deadline when you were perusing news stories that you organically stumbled onto that story, you know, but yeah, we have a show at Hulu being developed called Double or Nothing. It is a show about a. Yeah, they have a tagline. Do you see in the article? There's a. They have the taglines for you.

[Ebro]

Wait, how do you know what's in the article?

[Rosenberg]

I saw it.

[Ebro]

Oh, you saw the article also.

[Laura]

Where's the tagline?

[Rosenberg]

At the beginning. The first paragraph. Read the first paragraph.

[Laura]

Hulu has put in development Double or Nothing.

[Ebro]

Wait, you memorized the article? How do you know where it is in the article?

[Rosenberg]

Because I don't like some parts of

[Laura]

the article, but I like the top from 20th Television.

[News Reporter]

Thank you.

[Laura]

By Rasmond. And shy in Double or Nothing, a washed up yacht rocker gets a second chance at greatness when he teams up with a hungry young rapper to make the album of both their lives.

[Ebro]

Oh, that's so peculiar.

[Rosenberg]

And the next line.

[Laura]

Okay, it's a half hour comedy about getting it right the second time around.

[Ebro]

There you go.

[Rosenberg]

This is fire Rosenberg. I wrote that line. That's right. Thank you. I'm very excited. I've been working on this for two years just for anyone to have an idea of how hard this thing is. We are still in development. We're now going to try to make a pilot.

[Ebro]

So now we get some money to try to make a pilot. And then that doesn't even mean you get the show.

[Rosenberg]

No, you get. You get. They have you write the pilot. Right. And Teddy and Neil, our writers, will write the pilot. And then you hope that the pilot is then good enough. They go, cool, now we're going to pony up the money to make the pilot. Then if they love the pilot, they order the series.

[Ebro]

Did you ever watch the yacht Rock Doc?

[Rosenberg]

Yes, I did, but that was, you know, that was well after that this idea had formulated.

[Ebro]

No, no, no. I just wanted to know that you watched Rock Dot.

[Rosenberg]

I did, I did. The origin story of this was a Kenny Loggins concert that I went to by myself. This was the night because they. They didn't list an addition to the story. I created the show. This literally was a. I know.

[Laura]

I felt like they. Yeah, they kind of.

[Rosenberg]

No, that was my welcome to Hollywood moment. Was out of the gate. They just listed me as a producer and shouts to Mark Ronson, who also got listed late in the article. I'm realistic enough to know the reason the show got greenlit is because Mark Ronson, bro. Mark Ronson being an EP on the show and behind making the music for the artist that it's about. They didn't even include that Mark's making the music for the artist it's about.

[Ebro]

Well, look, even if the show sucks, the music is gonna be fire.

[Rosenberg]

Listen, I wish I could play for you guys the day before our meeting. So, Mark, I have this idea for the story of this character and this show and this song, double or nothing. And this artist.

[Ebro]

Oh, wait, you wrote a song?

[Rosenberg]

So I didn't write the song. I came up with the name of the song.

[Laura]

Okay. I mean, you wrote a little song.

[Rosenberg]

By the way.

[Ebro]

This won't suck.

[Rosenberg]

By the way. That would probably count as a writing credit, right? Name of the song. Name of the song.

[Laura]

Thank you. Hello.

[Ebro]

You probably shouldn't be saying it on here.

[Rosenberg]

So anyways, I go to Mark and I go, remember when I went to Brazil?

[Ebro]

You're an Asian or something.

[Rosenberg]

Remember when I went to Brazil a couple years ago?

[Laura]

Yes. Paju, Queju.

[Rosenberg]

Why did she just go paujiqueju. That's bro. You know how crazy that is to just say I was in Brazil? Pauchu. It's just a random food. Why is she just naming a snack?

[Laura]

Because you always say, I love pound occasion.

[Ebro]

Because you always say, I know I love random Portuguese.

[Rosenberg]

So when I was there, I was sitting there with this idea that I'd been swirling around for a few months and I literally crossed my mind. I'm sitting there, I'm like, you're not the 25 year old who was trying to make a Mike Tyson documentary. If you believe this is a good idea. Like, you're kind of already at second base in life. Like you're at a big agency. You know, people stop being a loser and thinking you can't make a show and try to go make the show. This is. Yes. So I called Mark when I got home and went and saw Mark to pitch him the idea of the show. Because I figured if Mark's on board with doing the music, we got an opportunity. The day I go to meet with Mark, he gets nominated for an Oscar for I'm Just Ken, which ended up being, I think, his second Oscar, right? For. For the Barbie movie. Mark loves it. We start talking through the ideas, we start talking, we find, we hire writers, we do the whole process, which is a process. And the whole time Mark's like, hey, listen, you know, like, at some point, like before our first meeting, like, I'll have some sort of like, framework of a song or whatever. Like, I promise, like, what? We'll have some song, you know, like, you know, his half assed British accent. And I'm like, okay. He says, we're gonna have a song to play. Okay. The day before our first meeting, this man facetimes me. And I was like, hey, I'm in the studio with my writing partner right now. I just want to play you a little something. And he's like, it's just a hook. It's just a hook and like the framework of a song. Yo, guys, I'll play it for you when we're off the air. He plays me this thing and I'm like, oh, word.

[Ebro]

It's out of here.

[Rosenberg]

No, we're gonna get the opportunity. We are going to get the opportunity. Our first meeting, the next day, first meeting was with another place we didn't end up going with my agent. Has Dipperstein's been telling me, just so you know, no one sells TV shows. No one. You don't. It just doesn't happen. No one's selling shows. Not scripted shows. People sell docs here and there. Scripted shows. Aren't they also? And at the end of our first meeting, the guy's like, you know, I don't normally do this, but I haven't had a chance to talk to my colleagues. But we want the show. We want the show. First meeting, I like, Natalie's in the room that I looked over and I was like, do we just do this? And then we hang, hang up the phone. Dip calls me. He's like, hey, congrats, you sold your first show. First Meeting out of the gate.

[Laura]

That's so wild.

[Rosenberg]

So now you don't know what's gonna happen, but it was still wild. Just getting there is hard for me

[Ebro]

to get excited because I hate the whole process of the pilot to the show. You don't know what's gonna.

[Rosenberg]

Actually, I talked to a friend recently

[Ebro]

and then people start hack. I heard people start haggling over the pilot and then you start to who's getting what and then it's like they ruin the. The, the fun of it. And then it's.

[Rosenberg]

Well, it's a crap.

[Ebro]

It's a crazy life out of it, bro.

[Rosenberg]

It's a crazy world. I'm co creator of the show.

[Ebro]

Well, look, let's just celebrate this far.

[Laura]

That's it. Yes. This is amazing.

[Ebro]

And like I said, even if the show sucks and they like suck it dry, you got a Mark Ronson song.

[Laura]

Hello.

[Joshua Dawson]

That's right.

[Rosenberg]

No shouts to Mark, bro. He. That was. Listen, we all know people in our lives who are cool and connected and successful and we all know that it's hit or miss with who actually picks up the phone and is like, Mark's always cool though.

[Ebro]

Coolest. He's.

[Rosenberg]

He's. That guy's a real coolest.

[Ebro]

Well, and, and I gotta say, for anybody watching this. Yes. I was almost gonna interrupt that story. It was mad long. During Lowe's Pro Savings Days, save more on what goes into the job.

Yo, I just want to say this,

[Ebro]

but I did good.

[Rosenberg]

You did really good.

[Ebro]

But it's not about me. It's not about me. I just wanted people. I had all. You know, I was struggling because they

[Rosenberg]

were like, all right, Rosenberg, we get it. You gotta have.

[Ebro]

Because still, we're in the rundown with Laura style. So not only was I going to interrupt you, but you interrupted her.

[Rosenberg]

It's a double, double interrupt.

[Ebro]

Do you have anything left for the rundown? It's already done.

[Rosenberg]

You know, a friend told me, a friend, you guys know, somewhat. She told me she was leaving Hollywood. She's been there for 10 years. She was like, I'm leaving Hollywood. I was like, why? Why? You know, she's a writer. She was like, because I've had six shows go into development. One got a pilot made.

[Laura]

Oh, six.

[Rosenberg]

Six made it to the step I'm at right now.

[Ebro]

One career.

[Rosenberg]

That was what she.

[Ebro]

At some point, you got it on your first time.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, yeah. Well, no, no, but I.

[Ebro]

She's saying right now, wherever she is, going to shut your white mouth.

[Rosenberg]

No, no, no. But she only. I only made it to where. She made it five times.

[Ebro]

Oh, she got there five times.

[Rosenberg]

She. She only made it to where they actually made the pilot one time, and then that didn't turn into a show. So she's like, I think I'm moving on. I've done it six times.

[Ebro]

How much?

[Rosenberg]

And, like, how many. How many ideas can I come up with that I think are great? Man, it's one.

[Ebro]

Is this why people don't even. They don't even. They just do a show, a pilot, and throw it up on YouTube or whatever and just go. And then if it starts to go somewhere, then.

[Rosenberg]

Well, particularly because to even get into the spot that we're in, if you go through the proper route, you have to have a manager. You have to have, like, I had to have mad connections to be able to make this. This was a lifetime of building, you know, relationship.

[Ebro]

Able to call Mark Ronson is to no dip.

[Rosenberg]

To no dip. When most radio people.

[Ebro]

You.

[Rosenberg]

I had an old radio agent. When I got like, a film agent, it's like, why do you have a film agent? You barely do anything. It's like, yeah, but he's my best friend. Well, now it's come along. It's like, I've built a thing takes a lifetime, and it still may turn into.

[Ebro]

When you got lucky with that, that you actually get along with the agent you like hanging out outside of. So even if you get rid of him as an agent, you still got

[Rosenberg]

somebody get rid of him as an agent. That's the hard part. Then they become family. There's no getting rid of them. Dipperstein could become a complete disaster. I'm now stuck with him for life.

[Laura]

That's right.

[Rosenberg]

How are you gonna. Come on. Congratulations. I mean, fortunately, he's doing well, but if he falls off a cliff, I'm still kind of.

[Ebro]

Or maybe he gets one of these.

[Rosenberg]

Well, you know how low I'm getting on the dip list. Dip now has. Dip now represents Seth Rollins back in. In just the wrestling world. He's got all these major people. I'm. I'm like, I'm a small fry.

[Ebro]

Oh, you're done.

[Rosenberg]

No, I'm trash.

[Ebro]

I'm finished.

[Rosenberg]

Finished.

[Ebro]

Very excited for you, ladies and gentlemen, on the Ebro algorithm.

[Rosenberg]

Ebro's algo.

[Ebro]

Ebro's Algo.

[Laura]

What we got?

[Ebro]

Run clip two for me, Joe.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, please, please.

[Ebro]

Come on, Joe.

[Rosenberg]

Please.

[Ebro]

What's going on?

[Rosenberg]

Joe, if you support the troops, then you should be voting against funding this war so that we get our troops out of harm's way.

[Joshua Dawson]

But how did the troops vote? How did the troops vote? My name is Joshua Dawson. I'm a data scientist and a political researcher. How did the troops vote? You know, we're going to hear a lot of people over the next coming days saying things like, we have to support our troops, keep our troops safe by opposing the war. But, you know, troops vote in elections. How did the troops vote? What do the data say? 66% of active military voted for Donald Trump.

[Rosenberg]

You know, we all had a role

[Joshua Dawson]

to play last November in that election. We all had a role to play. That's how a healthy democracy works. I want to be careful to not intellectually infantilize our troops now that the person that they overwhelmingly voted for might be putting them in a hostile situation. I want to be careful to not infantilize their parents as well.

[Laura]

There's out there are worried that they're going to see their sons get. And daughters get involved in this.

[Joshua Dawson]

Over a third of active military have veteran parents. How did Veterans vote?

[Rosenberg]

Vote.

[Joshua Dawson]

64% voted for Trump. Okay, well, if we are intent around election time on telling people that their vote counts, your vote counts, your vote counts. And then we ignore the causal relationship between people's votes and the situation that the country is in, we create a contradiction that. That undermines democracy. And I will be damned if I undermine democracy. Your vote does matter.

[Ebro]

So this guy. Thank you, Josh. His name is Josh Doss Dawson to follow. And I wanted to show that because. Yes. Salute to the veterans. Not all veterans, not all active military voted for Donald Trump, but 60 plus percent of veterans and active military voted in favor of the current president as they basically in your face, play in your face. They said no new wars. Maybe that's why you voted for them.

[Rosenberg]

Them.

[Ebro]

Because you're active military, you're veteran, you didn't want to go to war.

[Laura]

I mean, that was the propaganda, right?

[Rosenberg]

It was.

[Ebro]

That's what they were saying. But we also remember Kamala was saying, Hillary was saying that this president is absolutely going to get us into war. You chose not to believe. Women, Democrats, a black woman, all of it. I just want. We got to remember that. I don't want that to be forgotten. It's important to me.

[Rosenberg]

Do you think they didn't believe it, or you think that they cared about the other thing more? Yeah, the racist part. Remember? They love the racism so much that it's worth it.

[Ebro]

Maybe that's it.

[Laura]

All of it.

[Ebro]

I was being nice. I was being nice.

[Laura]

All of it. Racism, sexism.

[Ebro]

Sexism and racism. The fact that I would prefer to believe a white man over a black woman or I prefer to believe in a man or a woman or. You know what I mean? Whatever it is.

[Rosenberg]

Well, the white supremacy that they stand for, that. The whole thing. I want that whole thing.

[Ebro]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

You know, that's more important to me than staying out of war. That I. That was. Of all the Ebro algo stuff we've gotten recently. I. That I actually enjoy. That was not to say, actually I don't enjoy others. But, like, that was an interesting perspective. That to me wasn't just like, a lot of times people are saying the same thing over and over again in the algorithm. That was a very interesting thing I haven't heard talked about because. Yeah. 60 some percent of both active and veterans.

[Ebro]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

All voted for a guy who's a draft dodger.

[Ebro]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

Who disrespected John McCain. Said he prefers. What was it? You know, he prefers his soldiers who don't get captured.

[Ebro]

Right.

[Laura]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Yep.

[Ebro]

And called people who got captured cowards or losers or losers.

[Laura]

Excuse me, Losers. Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

So all of these.

[Ebro]

But 64.

[Rosenberg]

Again, the racism's so taught. They must. They love it. They love it.

[Ebro]

But also for the non voters or the people who don't think it matters. I keep coming back to this. The only reason they work so hard to make it hard for you to vote is because it matters. Man.

[Laura]

Man, this stresses me out. Seeing all these videos about voter suppression. Even though. Yes. It's nothing new. We know. It still triggers me. I saw these black folks in Texas and certain zip codes, like, telling the camera, like, hey, they're turning me away. I Have voted here for X plus years and they're not telling me where to go.

[Rosenberg]

And that was only on the primary. Yes. So we get to the general.

[Ebro]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

It's going to be significantly worse. And here's the craziest part. The turnout was still insane even with them doing what they did. You saw the numbers voted in that Crockett Talarico race. That's all Democrats.

[Ebro]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

Millions that were just in that race. So the numbers are outstanding and they're stopping people. So it's very scary, Laura.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

But what could happen in the general.

[Laura]

It also like I get deep sometimes into like just seeing conversations on threads and like the Latino community just frustrates me because the amount it's layered because it's a, you know, it's all of the above. But the sexism, the racism, the fake patriotism, the, the fake. I'm a Catholic. You know what I mean? It just blows my mind because we've talked about this over and over. We see somebody will say something crazy hateful and then you click on the profile. It's like put God first, be kind. Like a Bible quote. And I just in, in the Latino community it frustra me. Rosenberg.

[Rosenberg]

I listen. One of my favorite things about Laura is how much of a self hater she is like me. That's what I appreciate because I think to truly love your. They call me to truly love your people.

[Ebro]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Is to really see the worst part of it and be like that's why. Yeah. It's because you can't help but see it because you get so frustrated with your own. That you would be this way. Donald Trump, let's never forget this. And I think it is forgotten. Donald Trump has been talking about Latinos or, and, or Mexicans because sometimes specific to Mexicans, sometimes Latinos since he came down the elevator.

[Ebro]

Really. The escalator.

[Rosenberg]

The escalator. Hold me. Say it again. Cause I ruined the point. Donald Trump has been talking about Latinos in a negative way, in their scary harmful way since he came down the escalator that day. When he spoke that day, that was the first topic we talked about. I was like, nah.

[Laura]

Murders and rape.

[Rosenberg]

Talks about the murders and rapists. You don't remember that?

[Ebro]

I don't. I really don't know.

[Rosenberg]

It's in the post escalator speech was about the rapists and murderers.

[Ebro]

All I remember from the escalator was that those were all paid actors.

[Rosenberg]

That was big too. That was big too.

[Ebro]

But no, that I didn't remember what he actually said because Remember at the time I'm like, oh, he just lost his NBC Apprentice contract. He's looking for a new grift. He's just trying to stay on tv.

[Rosenberg]

Well, yeah, we weren't taking it serious. But the one thing that I, I'd have to look it up because I haven't watched it. But it's. Laura, it's etched in your brain too, right? Yes, etched in my brain. It was about the rapists and murderers from Mexico in that first thing.

[Laura]

And they care. They do not care. It also got.

[Rosenberg]

Well, they're religious and so is he.

[Laura]

Yes, there you go. It's all about the Bible.

[Ebro]

Congratulations, you played.

[Laura]

I don't know if you guys peep, but there was like Jamel Hill was getting heat from like the Latino community because I don't remember what she said, but she was absolutely correct. It was something along the lines of racism and sexism and hiding under religion. And all these like Republican women were making videos to Jamel Hill saying that you were sick of the Democrats and their fake promises. And like we. And they're like border town people because they said it right. Or Cubans. I don't even like Donald Trump. But then proceeds to regurgitate all these right wing talking points.

[Rosenberg]

Yep.

[Laura]

It's exhausting. And I don't know if these people are really going to wake up. I don't think so.

[Rosenberg]

If you, if you have it by now and if this war doesn't do

[Ebro]

it well, there is a crazy town on social media that every now and then I go around. Go around. Crazy town.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. You're down for a drive through crazy.

[Ebro]

I go down through crazy town on Ebro's Algo from time to time.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, I bet. This may be a new segment. I'm gonna work on this.

[Ebro]

What down on crazy town and he Bros. Algo.

[Rosenberg]

You're going down through crazy town.

[Ebro]

But yeah. And I once again don't know if those are bots. Don't know if they're real accounts. They really have photos, they really have names, they have locations. Sometimes the religious crazy right now with the whole people actually believing that this is a holy war.

[Laura]

That's.

[News Reporter]

That's.

[Ebro]

No, no, no, no.

[Laura]

Somewhere else.

[Ebro]

My guy.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, they're really in on it.

[Ebro]

No, no, no.

[Laura]

Yes.

[Ebro]

It's a real thing.

[Rosenberg]

It's not just the commanders telling the

[Ebro]

military that we have families and they call those commanders have families. They come from communities. They're in community organizations, they're in churches. It's.

[Rosenberg]

And they believe this is a holy one.

[Ebro]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

But when they say. When we say a holy war, this isn't a Jewish war. This is like a Christian war.

[Ebro]

I don't. Whatever, though. I don't.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, I don't. I'm confused.

[Ebro]

Well, I thought the white Christian nationalists were also Zionists.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, but I'm just saying the religion

[Ebro]

and them and Israel and the Israel Zionists want the same thing, right?

[Rosenberg]

No, they want to for different reasons. Right, but it's because the Christian fundamentalists believe that Jesus is coming back to Israel. Right. And they want to, like, clear the space. I don't know.

[Ebro]

They want Armageddon. I hear them talking about it's Armageddon, whatever that means.

[Rosenberg]

I love that you could. I love that you could be into Christ and think that what he would want would be for you to slaughter children before he comes home.

[Ebro]

Right.

[Rosenberg]

I like.

[Ebro]

That's right. Speaking of the kids, you guys are all aware that it has been pretty much proven by reporters and journalists that that school that was hit by a missile.

[Rosenberg]

It was a US Tomahawk.

[Ebro]

Was a US Tomahawk missile.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro]

Everybody's on the page.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. They found the scrap. They found the fragments of it.

[Ebro]

Okay.

[Rosenberg]

Made in the usa. They know it's that Trump is the only person. We talked about that clip. Right. The reporter the other day. Trump is the only person who suggested it could be someone else. The only countries that have the Tomahawk, from what I've heard this week, I'm no Expert, is the U.S. great Britain, Netherlands, Japan, maybe I'm forgetting. No. None of these places are bombing Iran. Except one.

[Ebro]

It's ours now. Did you guys hear the story of the Iranian warship? Remember we torpedoed an Iranian warship? Did you guys hear that?

[Laura]

Yeah, I don't remember this.

[Ebro]

You never heard that for the first time since World War II, that we torpedoed a warship during this Iran conflict?

[Laura]

Tell me about it.

[Ebro]

Do we have the news clip?

[News Reporter]

As we've been covering this war with Iran, have you seen this big headline? It kind of shocked me, actually. It's the sinking of an Iranian warship by a United States Navy submarine that happened yesterday. Now, it's a big deal. It's the first time we have torpedoed an enemy ship since World War II. You might have come across the grainy footage on social media. It looks like it's from, like, a Tom Clancy movie. And at first you might think, well, you know, we're at war. That's what happens in war. But there's a kind of crazy backstory here. The thing is, that ship was not exactly in the fight, that ship was off the coast of Sri Lanka, thousands of miles away from the theater of war. And it was there for a very specific reason. It was at the invitation of the Indian government and ally of the United States. India has diplomatic relations with Iran. They had invited a bunch of countries to conduct a joint ceremonial war games exercise. Emphasis. There is ceremonial. The theme of the event was united through oceans. There was even a parade, as you can see. According to a press release from the Navy, the US participated in the event, at least in part. So we definitely knew what was going on and we must have known that as a condition to participate in the event. The ships that went had to be unarmed. According to the former Indian Foreign Secretary, Iran's ambassador, India also says the ship was unarmed. So that exercise ended a week ago, before the US began strikes on Iran. It was on its way back home yesterday when one of our submarines sunk it, killing at least 87 sailors with dozens more missing. An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship

[Ebro]

that thought it was understanding

[Rosenberg]

not fully.

[Ebro]

Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo.

[Laura]

They were supposed to shoot it down.

[Rosenberg]

Quiet.

[Ebro]

It was an unarmed warship. We shot torpedoes at it and killed 80, 87 people who weren't participating in anything except a ceremonial parade in India.

[Rosenberg]

And no one's. Is this not being broadly called out?

[Ebro]

I don't know. I heard about the sinking of an Iranian warship and then saw that on Ebro's Algo and was like, wait, so we just killed people who happen to be Iranian? I guess they were in the military, so maybe that's the justification. But weren't participating in the war at all. Just were a part of a ceremony with another ally, which is another country, India, and we're coming back home and we just killed 87 people.

[Laura]

And mind you, we're part of that.

[Ebro]

So we were also in the celebration.

[Laura]

So we knew it was a celebration.

[Rosenberg]

And were there any Americans there also?

[Ebro]

Where on the ship? Yeah, that was sunk. Yeah, no, that was. It was Iranians.

[Rosenberg]

But we said. But we were part of the celebration.

[Ebro]

Yeah, because all the warships had gone over there for the celebration.

[Rosenberg]

Got it. Got. Okay. And they were. Just happened to be. They were. So everyone to the celebration.

[Ebro]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

The Iranian ship, though, on its way home was sunk for no reason. Yes, because it's an Iranian warship. So in theory it could come after us at some point.

[Ebro]

It was unarmed. Everybody knew it was unarmed.

[Rosenberg]

We're the bad guys. I mean, this is. Do we need like, we're the bad guys? I mean.

[Ebro]

No, it's. It's it's like. It's bigger than this.

[Rosenberg]

Congratulations.

[Ebro]

You played yourself well. And currently, independent journalists, at least on Ebro's algo.

[Rosenberg]

Well, that's the one that matters.

[Ebro]

Are reporting that we're not even getting the news of the amount of damage done to our military bases in the Middle East. The number of dead Americans they're lying about. Like, this is a real thing that's gonna. At some point. These chickens are coming home to roost, I think.

[Laura]

Was it BBC? I don't remember, but I read that it was like, over 160 injured soldiers from minor to major.

[Rosenberg]

160 injured. But we only. But we didn't hear of the dead. We only heard of the seven so far.

[Ebro]

Right?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro]

Yeah. So it's. It's an. You guys, we are going. We are embarrassing. We're embarrassing.

[Laura]

So many levels.

[Rosenberg]

Like, like immoral, low functioning, poorly. It's just. It can't be worse. We cannot be much worse.

[Ebro]

And we keep saying that also. And we keep getting this.

[Rosenberg]

Congratulations.

[Ebro]

Because it keeps getting worse.

[Laura]

Do you think the rest of the world knows that half of us are against this?

[Ebro]

I think so. And I'm gonna tell you why I think so. Because the new supreme leader of Iran came out. Remember I told you guys yesterday, came out and said Trump basically watch your back, or something like that. Which was like, okay, he. He knows it's Trump and ain't got nothing to do with the rest of

[Laura]

us, which I pray.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro]

I mean, because it would have been like, America, this isn't over. It feels like they're speaking directly to him and them.

[Rosenberg]

But that doesn't mean that the. That an attack, God forbid.

[Ebro]

Oh, for sure it doesn't. For sure it doesn't.

[Rosenberg]

Well, listen, I may have some insight into why Trump is such a bad guy.

[Ebro]

Would you like to cover it in gurus?

[Rosenberg]

No, before the guru. Although this is kind of a guru segment.

[Ebro]

Hey, yo.

[Rosenberg]

It's time for the gurus.

[Ebro]

Rosenberg. All right. You know, you are beautiful Queen Ebro. Don't ever play yourself. You're not a guru.

[Laura]

All right, Original gurus. Gmail dot com. That's where you email us.

[Ebro]

This is a new way to guru with Rosenberg. What are we doing here?

[Rosenberg]

The Original Gurus. Gmail.com. the Original Gurus. Gmail.com. your Destination. For clarity, this guru is about the President.

[Ebro]

Okay.

[Laura]

All right.

[Rosenberg]

Because maybe one of the reasons he's upset and handling things so badly is that his wife clearly hates his guts.

[Ebro]

But we've. We've seen this footage. We've seen them not holding hands.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, but now. But now we have new audio.

[Ebro]

Okay.

[Rosenberg]

This is from the film Melania.

[Ebro]

All right.

[Rosenberg]

Who expected to win worst picture at the Razzies this year?

[Ebro]

Is that a real thing? Because the Razzies are a real thing.

[Rosenberg]

No, I think. I think people are expecting and hoping it will win worse picture at the Rousey. Here is audio of Melania and Donald Trump talking on election night a year and a half ago.

[Donald Trump]

Hi, honey.

[Melania Trump]

Hi, Mr. President. Congratulations.

[Donald Trump]

I will tell you, it's great.

[Melania Trump]

That's fantastic.

[Donald Trump]

[Donald Trump]

You should try and watch it. It is amazing.

[Melania Trump]

I will see it.

[Ebro]

Yeah.

[Melania Trump]

I will see it on the news. But that's great. Congratulations.

[Donald Trump]

Congress certified all the. These numbers. Nothing like it has happened before, ever. It's a landslide.

[Melania Trump]

That's for sure.

[Donald Trump]

Looks like it's going to be about 312 to 226.

[Melania Trump]

Yeah. That's a good one.

[Rosenberg]

It's a good one.

[Ebro]

It was a big win.

[Donald Trump]

I won every swing state. We won the popular vote. Millions.

[Melania Trump]

It was a big win.

[Donald Trump]

Much bigger than anticipated. Very exciting.

[Melania Trump]

Okay, talk to you soon.

[Laura]

[Melania Trump]

I did not. I did.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

I did not.

[Laura]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

Did you watch it?

[Ebro]

What? By the way, it is also. Her tone is like she's talking to a child.

[Laura]

Facts.

[Ebro]

Facts. She's talking to a child. I did not. Honey.

[Laura]

Huh?

[Ebro]

It's very much your Twilight. Very much not.

[Melania Trump]

[Melania Trump]

I will see it. Yeah. I will see it on the news.

[Ebro]

Yes, honey, I will watch you play your video game. I will. Trust me. I'll come see the blocks you put together. No, I'm on my.

[Rosenberg]

No, no. Roadblocks is. I know it's a big game and you're doing really well and I want to see it. No, it's important, so.

[Melania Trump]

But that's great. Congratulations.

[Donald Trump]

Congress certified all the.

[News Reporter]

Yeah.

[Ebro]

She's not even waiting for him to finish. She's interrupting worse than we interrupt. Laura, he's not finishing a thought.

[Rosenberg]

She's like, mom, I want. I got 83, 000, though.

[Ebro]

Oh, yeah. That's nice, honey. Thank you very much. Yes.

[Laura]

Cute.

[Ebro]

Didn't even let him finish the thought numbers.

[Donald Trump]

Nothing like it has happened before, ever. It's a landslide.

[Melania Trump]

That's for sure.

[Ebro]

That's for sure.

[Rosenberg]

No, big landslide's a big one. Big one's a landslide.

[Donald Trump]

It's going to be about 312 to 226.

[Melania Trump]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Rosenberg]

That's a. No, that's a good one.

[Donald Trump]

We won the popular vote by millions.

[Melania Trump]

It was a big win.

[Donald Trump]

Much bigger than anticipated. Very exciting.

[Melania Trump]

Okay, talk to you soon.

[Laura]

Bye.

[Melania Trump]

Congrats. Bye. Bye.

[Laura]

Oh, my God, it's.

[Ebro]

Now, listen, this is guru talk right here.

[Rosenberg]

Back to the guru.

[Ebro]

No, listen.

[Rosenberg]

Where's the guru Talk right here.

[Ebro]

Sorry, sorry.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, we're in the gurus.

[Ebro]

Let's. We'll get back to the guru music. But hang on a second. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

[Rosenberg]

That's crazy.

[Laura]

I know.

[Ebro]

Have you ever had a conversation with someone, just a co worker, someone you're cool with?

[Rosenberg]

Cool.

[Ebro]

But they're busy and you're trying to give them an update on what's going on and they're like, yeah, yeah, got it, got it. Okay, got it. I'm gonna get to it when I can. But no, that's great. Absolutely. No, no, no, for sure, for sure, for sure. And you're. And you're like trying to give them the update. You know, Summer Jam. So I heard, I heard. Yeah, no, I hear about it on the news. No, no, no. We sold more Cool. I got these artists, Big Arts ab. Sounds great. That's what it was.

[Rosenberg]

It was.

[Ebro]

These were co workers. These are co workers.

[Laura]

That's it.

[Ebro]

These are absolutely co workers.

[Rosenberg]

Right.

[Ebro]

And she's working with somebody that she doesn't really like that much. She's stuck.

[Rosenberg]

She's.

[Ebro]

And she can't quit the job.

[Rosenberg]

Can't quit the job. She's tolerating, but like, no.

[Ebro]

Had to have a kid.

[Rosenberg]

No interest.

[Laura]

She. They live. Does she live in. They live separately. Right.

[Rosenberg]

She goes to the White House. Well, it depends.

[Ebro]

She's.

[Rosenberg]

She's in the White House. Sometimes I believe she's up here.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

I don't know how often she goes to Mar a Lago. But that's not a real relationship. That's not a relationship. Not a romantic relationship.

[Ebro]

Well, what's the guru part here? That you should never stay in a relationship where conversations on the phone sound like this. So if you are in a relationship and you talk to your significant other in this way, this is not a healthy relationship.

[Rosenberg]

That's Part of it. And also I'm worried because the person who's deciding whether or not we may live or die is really in a toxic, bad relationship. And maybe it's danger. Maybe he's adding danger to our situation.

[Ebro]

No, it's Melania's fault.

[Rosenberg]

Or Melania is doing enough to placate him and kind of keep us alive.

[Ebro]

Yeah, but she needs to listen better.

[Rosenberg]

Right. She's not even playing along. That's a problem.

[Ebro]

You're not. That call going out, he couldn't have seen that in the movie Melania and felt good. And felt good. That might be why he started the war.

[Rosenberg]

Thank you. You.

[Laura]

This could be just. He knows that this is the energy that. That is happening in his family. So he's used.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. It may not be weird to him because, like, that's just what our family is. That's. That's how my wife.

[Ebro]

So then he's really got dementia. And. And she knows that he's got dementia. She's talking to a. Dementia.

[Laura]

I think you're right.

[Ebro]

And. And he's like, I want to call my wife. And. And she's going to want to hear what. What a great. First of all, why wasn't your wife with you? So there's.

[Rosenberg]

On election.

[Ebro]

On election night. So there's that part.

[Laura]

Meetings.

[Ebro]

She had meetings. Melania, what are you doing? Doing real talk. What would Melania be meeting about? With whom? About what?

[Rosenberg]

On election.

[Ebro]

On election night.

[Rosenberg]

There's only. It's. I mean, in theory, there's only two of them.

[Ebro]

No. And then, by the way, once again, I'm gonna say it again. You allowed this to be put in a movie, which means that everyone around you, Donald Trump, is laughing at you and using you. Like, how would you even say, like, yeah, I'm going have a convo with my wife in a movie. Let me hear the call you're going to use. And you can be like, yeah, that's it.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, that's good.

[Laura]

That's his norm.

[Ebro]

I be like, if me and my wife were on terms like that, I'd be like, no need to have a conversation with us.

[Depop Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. It's her movie.

[Ebro]

Yeah. This her.

[Rosenberg]

You can show me in the background. A couple.

[Ebro]

She doesn't come to my things. I don't come to her things.

[Rosenberg]

Right. But he. He was good with that being in there.

[Ebro]

He was good with that being in there, which means he's not okay.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Ebro]

There's no way he's. Okay. I'm. I'm gonna look for a TWEET that I sent out years ago. And I, you know, that company. I think it was early days of this, of this podcast Internet media thing. Midas Touch.

[Rosenberg]

Midas Touch.

[Ebro]

Okay. They put out a whole thing about Donald Trump doodling himself.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Ebro]

And it was serious. It wasn't a joke.

[Rosenberg]

Joke. Okay.

[Ebro]

It was a serious thing about Donald Trump not being able to control his bowel.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Ebro]

And we've seen. And you guys have seen these things, this convo kind of happen.

[Joshua Dawson]

Yes.

[Ebro]

Multiple times.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Ebro]

And everybody does what you just did. They look away like, yeah, okay, whatever.

[Rosenberg]

No, no, that wasn't mine. It's more. I feel like I don't know what to say about it because I've seen a lot of it, too. But you can't tell if it's real in the videos because it's just like, oh, look at this person's face. That's the moment. And I'm like, like, well, this was,

[Ebro]

this was a little bit more detailed about people saying. Talking about how it had quotes from people. Yes.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro]

Okay, I'm gonna try to find it. And I remember posting it like, yo.

[Laura]

I remember seeing it.

[Ebro]

Is this real? This dude is on himself.

[Rosenberg]

You, you, you were very early on the doo doo train.

[Ebro]

Well, because it just was like, why would somebody say this in this detail if it wasn't true? And then, remember recently there was a story about the person who accused Donald Trump of sexual abuse and did something to Donald Trump while Donald Trump was trying to have sex with them. That people were like, oh, that's why he wears a diaper, I guess. Dude, shove something in him.

[Rosenberg]

Okay, I, I didn't.

[Ebro]

A poll. Yeah.

[Laura]

I have seen.

[Ebro]

So real allegation. Rosenberg. It's a real thing. My guy Ebro's algo tap in.

[Rosenberg]

Well, listen, well, listen, just for our chat. I don't want the chat to come from me. That sounds very plausible and I will look into it.

[Ebro]

Wait, why? Why do you.

[Rosenberg]

Because if I don't say, you know, I'm worried that if I'm like, really? Of some, Some, you know what I'm saying, that they're going to be like, oh, I guess you like Trump.

[Ebro]

Well, no, no, no. This is a.

[Rosenberg]

If you don't think that it definitely happened.

[Ebro]

No, but this is a credible allegation. And I remember seeing this piece and was like, this is very detailed for not being funny. Not trying to be funny.

[Rosenberg]

Credible that he had a. Some sort of.

[Ebro]

No, no. Credible that he doodles on himself and that part.

[Rosenberg]

Sure, yeah.

[Ebro]

But anyway, I'm Tying that to this audio. Cuz now I'm listening to someone who clearly doesn't even know that the person on the other line doesn't want to talk to them.

[Rosenberg]

Right.

[Ebro]

And the way they get off the phone is mad Rush.

[Rosenberg]

I thought you were going to say that at the end. She's like. The part of the call they cut off. Was she. That she was like, honey, did you make a poopy and pants today? And he was like, you see? And he's like, I did. And she goes, it's a big one. It was a big one.

[Ebro]

That's why we can't have nothing. That's your.

[Rosenberg]

It was a big one. You make a big one.

[Ebro]

That was it. And then.

[Rosenberg]

And then afterwards, maybe that was the only part he said cut out. He's like, can y' all delete the dooo part? Keep the rest of it. Just not the part when she said this.

[Ebro]

Why this? Why we can't have nothing. What's that? Lo.

[Laura]

Sasha Riley is the name.

[Ebro]

Yeah, Sasha Riley.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, that's part of the Sasha.

[Ebro]

No, that's. Yeah, that's part of the Sasha Riley thing. That. Listen, we're a mess.

[Rosenberg]

So it's a weird clip anyways. It's not what you want.

[Ebro]

But anyway, I'm talking about the doodling on himself and then thinking. Because it didn't. It really. It only popped in my head when I was like, yo, you don't know that she don't like you, bro. You can't hear that.

[Laura]

You have.

[Ebro]

You didn't hear that audio going into a movie and go, this is not good.

[Rosenberg]

Listen. Everyone in their relationship could have audi a conversation with their spouse in which you'd be like, hey, I don't want that. You talking to me nuts on there. Don't put that in there. You sounded really nasty towards me. You don't normally sound like that. You were in a mood.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

That means that was the best they could do. That was.

[Ebro]

You see my point?

[Rosenberg]

You see my point pretty good.

[Ebro]

And so now I start thinking about you doodoo on yourself. Like you have to be doodling on yourself if you're allowing that to be put into a movie. Is this a reach? Am I?

[Rosenberg]

No. I feel bad, though.

[Laura]

No, I hear you.

[Rosenberg]

I feel bad, Laura. I feel bad though.

[Ebro]

Though.

[Laura]

Why?

[Rosenberg]

Because there are people out there who have different issues that doo doo on themselves, who have every control of every other. This is not fair to the rest of the dude in themselves community.

[Ebro]

No, you're right. And I'm not.

[Rosenberg]

People have Battle issues.

[Ebro]

I'm not picking on y'. All. But y' all also ain't starting wars with other countries because you do on yourself. And you're in Epstein files and your wife don't like you. You know what I'm saying? Like, and your wife could probably love you to death even if you do do on yourself.

[Rosenberg]

But you.

[Ebro]

You, sir, the President of the United States are a bad guy. And based on that audio, she don't like you, my dude.

[Rosenberg]

She feels the same.

[Ebro]

And if they running around here with you, letting you do on yourself and be around people, the people around you don't like you either. They're just using you the same way we're watching these Christian nationalists act like you're a religious person. They're just using you for a means to an end. They know you're not religious.

[Rosenberg]

Or the way that Yahoo uses you,

[Ebro]

the way Israel we're going to give you.

[Rosenberg]

Do you see? We're giving him the Israel Award. That was crazy.

[Ebro]

No, no, you're.

[Laura]

What is that?

[Ebro]

No, they're just getting the Israel Award. That's my point.

[Rosenberg]

They're just doing whatever that tells you.

[Ebro]

He's a dementia. There's something wrong.

[Laura]

There's a doctor that I follow who specializes in dementia, and he was ex Republican, and every day he. He gives you a list of reasons why he has.

[Ebro]

Oh, that's the guy that talks about the bruises on the hands and all that stuff.

[Laura]

Yes.

[Ebro]

No, it's a real thing, bro. I'm sorry.

[Rosenberg]

On a lighter note, there was also a clip from Milani moving around where she's in the car, and they're like, what's your. What's your favorite. You know Brett Ratner, great interviewer that he is. He goes, what's. Who's your favorite music artist? And she's like, michael Jackson. And he's like, oh, what's your favorite songs by him? She's like Billie Jean and also Thriller. That's all you. You could come up with for your favorite music artist. Michael Jackson. And you like Billy G. Yo, shut up.

[Ebro]

You don't like music.

[Rosenberg]

You don't like to say, I don't have a favorite artist.

[Ebro]

But that's like people who say they like hip hop. And you're like, what's your favorite song? Biggie, Juicy.

[Rosenberg]

Nah, stop.

[Ebro]

Eminem. My name is.

[Rosenberg]

Those are my two favorites. That's it.

[Ebro]

I stop after that bar. See y' all tomorrow.

[Rosenberg]

Family Friday.

[Ebro]

Tomorrow.

[Rosenberg]

Don't call it a piece.
