For God's sake.

[Ebro Darden]

Ebro. Laura Rosenberg.

[Laura Styles]

Hello.

[Ebro Darden]

Back for an action packed week, man. Man, it's busy outside. Drew Ski's on his heels. Mom Donnie's doing some cool stuff in the city. Kanye west got a new album. Yo, Fetty Wap got a new album. That surprised me. Got a few things on.

[Rosenberg]

Really?

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, man.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

How was your weekend, Laura Styles?

[Laura Styles]

It was great. It was great. I had a very busy weekend. But I got to see guys. I went and I'll talk about it more on the rundown, but I got to see Moulin Rouge with Megan Thee Stallion.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, nice.

[Rosenberg]

I did not know that was happening until I saw it on Laura's Instagram.

[Laura Styles]

It's.

[Ebro Darden]

I feel like Laura reported on it.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

To the show.

[Rosenberg]

I mean, until Laura reported on it,

[Laura Styles]

I did look at even producer Griffiths looking at you like, what's wrong with you? Anyway, it was. I had a great time. I'll tell you more about it later on.

[Ebro Darden]

Now, Rosenberg, how was your weekend? What are you into right now, bro?

[Rosenberg]

I'm into moving to. This is this weird word. This is the only thing. It's the only thing smoking right now.

[Laura Styles]

So you're packing and packing.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. Well, hit it loud. Hit it Proud of all times.

[Ebro Darden]

Is it an all time congrats, you're moving debacle.

[Rosenberg]

I think in my life, it's way up there at the top, right. That along with my first firing. When I said DC Radio sucks and got fired by two DC Radio jobs at one time. I think Those are the one in 1A. So we have movers coming to take care of us today. But we still wanted, we wanted to get there and not become living out of boxes. We were like, we can't handle going back to that, you know that post move life.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rosenberg]

So we spent the weekend pre moving ahead of the move to just be like ready, just have the clothes, the toiletries, right.

[Laura Styles]

Like this will go in this closet.

[Rosenberg]

So at least we're not personally living out, you know what I'm saying? So we ended up doing the extra work ahead of today and tomorrow. But it's a. It's a bruh. It's a congrats. That's all I can say. But you got Raw at the Garden tonight. I'm still gonna pop out. I'm still popping out for Raw.

[Laura Styles]

Let's go.

[Rosenberg]

Finding a way, doing my thing. My cousin had his surgery this past weekend. He had a big surgery that were hopeful, went well, real well. So I went and saw his family yesterday. So still trying my best to do all the things. But the move is a shop.

[Ebro Darden]

Put everything, all the moves. When the moves move, don't be mad at me. I can't make it unless it's work. I'll make it to work, but if I hate moving, I hate it. I can't.

[Rosenberg]

No. Even when you get. Even when you pay for help, it's still just. You're like, well, where's this going to go? Are they going to send this to the right. Gotta label this.

[Ebro Darden]

And it's just the packing part. It's just to getting, getting everything back sorted for them to even take boxes and then to. I know those services come through and they say, oh, we got everything. It never.

[Rosenberg]

Well, depends. Well, you know, let's wait and see, bro. I have a, I have a hunch this one's going to be a very, very efficient.

[Ebro Darden]

I mean, they're pretty good, but it's not.

[Rosenberg]

But I'll tell you about that on Wednesday.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay, listen, we are, we are currently in a, in a, in a war that they're not calling a war, but it is a war with a country named Iran, who actually, from all, from what I could see, I don't know if you guys are seeing it. We're getting our ass handed to us, guys. They're laughing in our faces. Gas prices are going up. You know, we have zero support around the world and they are not scared. And this week the conversation goes into, are we putting boots on the ground? Which.

[Rosenberg]

Congratulations.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't think you want to do that in Iran, people wasn't there.

[Laura Styles]

Correct me if I'm wrong, because there's so much going on in my timelines, but wasn't there like a headline that they, that Trump said that there's positive negotiations going on with Iran?

[Ebro Darden]

And you believe Trump?

[Laura Styles]

No, no, no. And then. And then on the other side, they were like, that Iran was like, yeah, no, that never happened.

[Ebro Darden]

We're not talking. And then Trump keeps saying, yeah, there's a new regime. We're talking to some people. We never see. We never met them before. You Know, because everybody else we killed. So we talking to some new people,

[Rosenberg]

but they gave us a present.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

And so it seems like we're talking

[Ebro Darden]

to the right people, but we're not talking to anybody according to them. So now it's like, who you believe. There was a time where you would believe your government. Maybe I was never a part of that time, but a lot of people did.

[Rosenberg]

But, you know, some people felt that way.

[Ebro Darden]

No, they would now. I don't know how many people actually believe this government.

[Rosenberg]

And then every few days, we get the. It's winding down. It should be over soon. Then it's not ending anytime soon. Yeah. Then it looked like they found a deal for TSA on Friday.

[Ebro Darden]

Did you guys hear the. How this played out? Unanimously. The Senate was like, we're pushing this forward, getting TSA agents paid. Yes, Unanimous. It was going to go to the House. Mike Johnson then called, like, stalled it and called people like, hey, we're not going to vote on this. Kept stalling, kept stalling to get Trump on the right page so that he wouldn't look like an idiot, because if the House would have signed it, he would have then been forced to either sign or veto. If he would have vetoed, it's so popular in the Congress that they would have overrode his veto. So Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, was like, yo, hold up. We don't want to have the President looking stupid.

[Rosenberg]

So stalled it out. And then I think John Thune was. This was who.

[Ebro Darden]

And they made it look like Trump was on the page.

[Rosenberg]

Right.

[Laura Styles]

I also know my favorite was TMZ saying, hey, if you see any of your congressmen out of vacation, please send us photos. We'll put them on. On that screen.

[Rosenberg]

Well, I think John Thune is. Was seen immediately, like, right after getting whisked through security, you know, past everybody with his entourage.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, shout to Delta Airlines, who was quickly like, yo, we're yanking all your. Congress gets all their privileges yanked. I don't know if other airlines did it, but Delta did it for sure and made a big stink of it.

[Rosenberg]

So we were right there. So it could have been done.

[Ebro Darden]

Which part could have been done?

[Rosenberg]

I mean, Friday night, the whole thing could have been over. Yeah, it was right there.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

And they just said, we don't want to. And I saw the line that they're using is, you know, it's about the safety of our country. That's how they're describing. What the Democrats want to change about the bill is, like, they see it as, you Know, not. Not allowing people to do their job. Not allowed. Allowing DHS to do their job so well.

[Ebro Darden]

So now TSA agents are getting paid. We're good.

[Rosenberg]

But then I saw Saturday, they're getting paid. So how did that work?

[Ebro Darden]

They're getting paid. It's happening.

[Rosenberg]

They just found the money to pay them?

[Ebro Darden]

No, they always had the money. They just had to approve the bill. Rosenberg. And remember, the Democrats wanted to separate the TSA thing away from the ICE thing.

[Rosenberg]

But I thought they didn't. Did they end up doing it?

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

So then what. After that all failed?

[Ebro Darden]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

They then said, let's just do a separate thing. Finally.

[Ebro Darden]

Which could. They could have done days ago.

[Rosenberg]

Yo, bruh. But I saw people are still. Aren't the. How are the airports now? Or something.

[Ebro Darden]

That's gonna take time. Like, there were people. People weren't at work, bro. People weren't getting paid.

[Rosenberg]

Yes. So people stopped coming in.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

It's not like, boom, they flip a switch the next day. It's all good.

[Rosenberg]

Yo, by the way, that's a great. There's a great comedy to be written about the already annoying. Respectfully, TSA agent likely at jfk, who was like, man, I'm going home. And now he's on the couch getting called to come back acting like he's a free agent who they're begging to come out of retirement. He's like, oh, y' all need me back now, huh? Yeah, because they really do need to get.

[Ebro Darden]

Absolutely.

[Laura Styles]

And a lot quit, too. Just quit.

[Rosenberg]

Right.

[Laura Styles]

So we're like, ah, I'm done with this. Because remember, they get no back pay.

[Isaac Hayes III]

Right.

[Rosenberg]

It's over. Once you don't get it, you don't get it.

[Laura Styles]

That's it.

[Rosenberg]

That sounds like someplace I used to work.

[Ebro Darden]

Damn.

[Laura Styles]

Crazy.

[Ebro Darden]

Can you give me clip number eight? I haven't. I saw this moving around, but I didn't really pay attention to it. Rahsaan. This is Trump getting hitting on a reporter rather than answering the question about Iran.

[Rosenberg]

One of the best clips of last week. This is your. The President, the sitting President of the United States during wartime.

[Laura Styles]

Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any insight as to how they are doing? Do they have drinking water? Do they have food?

[Rosenberg]

Right. I do.

[Laura Styles]

It's upsetting.

[Ebro Darden]

I do. But first, you remember when we had lunch years ago, base of Trump Tower,

[Rosenberg]

when it was a brand new building?

[Laura Styles]

A long time ago. Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Long time ago. You haven't changed.

[Ebro Darden]

Now, I'm not allowed to say this.

[Rosenberg]

It's the end of my political career, but you May be even better looking. Okay, so I don't know what you

[Ebro Darden]

do, but I will not say that

[Laura Styles]

has a lot of.

[Ebro Darden]

Because that will.

[Rosenberg]

Real quick. This is a rare moment, rare moment on Fox News where the lady is asking a legitimate question about the well being of children.

[Laura Styles]

Yes.

[Rosenberg]

And literally he immediately says, yeah. Anyways, remember that time we had lunch and there's so many levels that make this just so embarrassing. Can you imagine in reverse, imagine a world in which Obama or Biden.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't.

[Rosenberg]

You can't. There's no way to even think about it.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't. He actually said, quote, I'm not supposed to say this. It's going to be the end of my political career. And then goes on to say it.

[Rosenberg]

Yep.

[Ebro Darden]

Did you guys see the clip last week where he was. I forget where he was at. Where he was.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

And he was like, you guys can ask me anything and ask me anything. We could talk about sex. We could talk.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, that's where I thought you were going. I didn't even see that clip that you just played for me.

[Ebro Darden]

Do we have that one where he's. I forget what the convention he was at, but he's. We could talk about sex. We could talk about any question. I don't, I don't filter the questions here or, you know, what's this thing? He does this. Yeah, Everything is this. Everything's in everything.

[Rosenberg]

Well, he did, he did a Reddit ama. He did a Reddit ask me anything.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Live.

[Ebro Darden]

[Rosenberg]

We're still on pace.

[Ebro Darden]

Still on pace. He's. Look, he's not making eye contact. I don't know who he's looking at. Who does Lou look at when he

[Rosenberg]

looks up at the screen?

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, God. Okay. Got it.

[Rosenberg]

I think, I think the numbers all look like they're pacing.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, we feel good about them.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. Yeah. I think things are going good. I mean, listen, we always got to keep working, grinding, pushing the, the hype button.

[Ebro Darden]

[Rosenberg]

Right. Pushing all the buttons.

[Ebro Darden]

How's the hype button working out, Louis? Yeah, it's doing okay.

[Laura Styles]

He's like, it's doing.

[Ebro Darden]

You're still not a fan of the hype button? I'm not a fan. I'm not convinced that, you know, he says it helps. Okay, he's not convinced.

[Laura Styles]

But it helps. Okay? So keep hyping us up, please.

[Ebro Darden]

Now, Laura, what are you cooking for the. For the rundown?

[Laura Styles]

So we have a lot to talk about. I do want to talk about, like I mentioned earlier, Moulin Rouge with Megan the Stallion. We're gonna get into the verses.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Laura Styles]

You're gonna give us some inside scoop about the verses. You're gonna cover Cardi B. And all her special guests. And then we. We haven't gotten to this, guys, but we. We definitely have to talk about Drew Ski.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah. No, we got to get to drew ski 100%.

[Ebro Darden]

That was cooking all week.

[Rosenberg]

Also, should I get into me fighting with Megan thee Stallion fans in her comments on over the weekend?

[Ebro Darden]

No. What did you do? What did you do?

[Rosenberg]

No, it was. I don't. I'm over.

[Ebro Darden]

What did you do?

[Rosenberg]

She put up a post that she adopted a dog.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, I saw that.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

At the end of the post, she's like, I don't know what this dog is, but it's my baby now.

[Laura Styles]

Whoo.

[Rosenberg]

I hope everyone likes it. Yeah. And I responded, ma', am, that is a pit bull. And I really am happy for you, but I hope you do the work to make sure that this pit bull is taken care of.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay?

[Rosenberg]

And I said. Cause they can be wonderful animals, but you need to make, you know, do the work, obviously.

[Ebro Darden]

Are you mansplaining? You were mansplaining?

[Rosenberg]

No, I was dogsplaining.

[Ebro Darden]

Dogsplaining.

[Rosenberg]

I'll call it dogsplaining. And the comments were just like. I mean, listen, this is not a surprise. It was Instagram comments of an artist. You know where this is going? It's all Megan fans telling me to, you know, shut up. And I hate pit bulls, and you hate dogs. And I'm like. Cause listen, this is obviously someone Respectfully.

[Ebro Darden]

Did you think this was gonna go well when you comment?

[Rosenberg]

I wasn't looking for validation here. I didn't. But it was just funny to me. Cause Megan was obviously someone who's not super well versed on dogs, considering the video.

[Ebro Darden]

How do you know?

[Rosenberg]

Because the video started with. I was today years old when I learned there was something called a kill shelter.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah. But I told them that not everyone knows what a kill shot show is.

[Rosenberg]

You're totally right. But doesn't that imply that she's probably new to the. To the dog game?

[Ebro Darden]

She's got, like, three dogs.

[Laura Styles]

She has two.

[Ebro Darden]

Two dogs.

[Rosenberg]

And she also said, and I have no idea what breed this is. And the dog jumps in the picture and it is clearly a pit mix of some variety.

[Ebro Darden]

But maybe that's why she didn't know what it was. Cause it's a pit. It definitely wasn't just a straight ed pit. I saw the dog. I don't know what this is. I looked and I went, yeah, it's a pit something.

[Laura Styles]

A pit mix.

[Rosenberg]

It's pit. You know what? In retrospect, I was dog mansplaining. But listen, the fact of the matter is, I see it every day, and Megan's just a very influential people. People do act like you can just grab a pit mix from a shelter, bring it home, introduce it to all your babies and friends and other dogs and not do any work. And with a dog that. And so everyone's response is, you know, Chihuahuas bite more, and golden retrievers bite more. And I'm like, yeah, bro, I know they do. Hundred percent. This isn't about whether or not they're apt to bite. It's what they do. It's what it does if they do bite. So you have to do the work.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, but look, I, I. Someone like Megan, who's very well off, I'm sure she has help, and she. She can bring a professional to help her.

[Ebro Darden]

Maybe Rosenberg, maybe.

[Rosenberg]

Whose dogs. Whose dogs were just roaming the neighborhood on a damn night watch by themselves? Who was it, Tyrese?

[Ebro Darden]

I don't know.

[Laura Styles]

The King Corson.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, the King Cor.

[Rosenberg]

Tyrese just had dogs roaming. The. Tyrese has the money. Tyrese, you think could do all the things people do. Wild stuff. I was just saying, be mindful.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, Tyrese's own special. His own special character.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, well, Tyrese and his turtleneck had a different weekend. You know what I mean?

[Ebro Darden]

The turtleneck. The turtleneck shouts to Megan.

[Rosenberg]

Adopting from a kill shelter is a wonderful thing.

[Ebro Darden]

I want to look at the footage of the no Kings protest this weekend. Did you guys see all this going on?

[Laura Styles]

Yes, I was in it.

[Ebro Darden]

Clip 15.

[Rosenberg]

I have mixed feelings on no Kings as a brand.

[Ebro Darden]

No Kings.

[Laura Styles]

Why?

[Rosenberg]

I just don't know if I think it's, like, dope. I can't decide if it's like, when I hear about a no Kings protest, I'm like, does it hit, like, what it's supposed to be saying? Is it hitting what it's supposed to be saying? You guys tell me what it means exactly.

[Ebro Darden]

I thought it was a direct shot at Trump. Who wants to be king? Like, figure.

[Rosenberg]

That's what I think it is.

[Ebro Darden]

People who want to, I guess, almost be fans or some sort of. I don't know, what's the word I'm looking for here, Laura? Like the sycophants for Trump who think it's a game to have a singular person making all the decisions and have power over all the entire government.

[Laura Styles]

Right, right, right.

[Ebro Darden]

Sort of thing. That's what I thought when I heard

[Rosenberg]

it the first time, and that's what I assume it is, too. I just. I just can't quite gauge, like, I don't. I just. This weekend, I was just thinking, like, is it a dope name to have them all called no king dope name?

[Ebro Darden]

Probably not. Is it conveying what they're trying to convey?

[Rosenberg]

Likely. You think it conveys it.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay. But I don't know if they were going for dope names. I don't know if they were trying to name an album or come up with their rap name, but I think they were.

[Rosenberg]

I just. I don't know, for me, whether it conveys what I. But I don't know what it would be. You don't want to go more direct than that. Right. I guess you don't have it be named. Yeah. Like an F. Trump rally.

[Ebro Darden]

But I think the sentiment in the United States that we, you know, this. This nation was founded on this idea that there would never be a king or a monarchy or a singular individual that could take over the entire government.

[Laura Styles]

That's right.

[Ebro Darden]

All right. That's what the marketing said.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah. I mean, listen, no kings. But when you look at those signs, different story.

[Rosenberg]

But, like, shout out to my guy Kendo in the chat, he said, I get what you're saying, Rosenberg. It's not really resonating. They're doing a big thing. I just, like, when I hear about it, they creep up. But I'm not hearing the language. Doesn't make me like, oh, I gotta get outside this weekend.

[Ebro Darden]

It's like, I didn't even know what was going on.

[Rosenberg]

It's kind of become wallpaper. Oh, there's another no Kings protest.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, I think people signed up over the. They've had. How many of these have they had?

[Laura Styles]

A few.

[Ebro Darden]

Four or five.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Weekends of this.

[Rosenberg]

I think three.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

I think people have been signing up because I definitely saw smaller communities over.

[Laura Styles]

I. I feel like this weekend, that's more important to me. The. The smaller communities, the. In specifically in red areas, those are more important to me.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Laura Styles]

Because it shows that people are finally waking up, I guess. I guess, you know, they were like, oh, wait, I. This is not what I. What I wanted. I voted for it. But now I'M like, I changed my mind. I see the truth. Like, so those, for me, are more important. When I see these. When I see these small towns in Florida, in middle. In the middle of America, because I feel like those are the ones that put them in office.

[Ebro Darden]

There's a, There's, There's a. Off Ebro's Algo, I think I didn't send the clip over about how decimated our farms are in the United States. Are you. And I don't think this is being reported because there's so much else. There's so much to be reported on, and it's tough to get, like, these kind of. If you notice, there's not really stories about unemployment in the United States, farms in the United States. I know people are talking about gas prices, but I don't think people are. It's really being covered. I don't feel like they've really covered effectively how much grocery prices have not gone down since that was one. Like, you hear blips about it. Like, Trump promised this and this. We're. We're a year, almost two years into this deal. None of what he has promised, like, literally zero, other than the, The, The ICE running around rounding up people, which they promised. Yes, right. Or things in Project 2025 that he promised. But none of the economic stuff, the jobs, the grocery prices, the cheaper gas, any of that has come to fruit. And I feel like a lot of people voted on. Voted for him on those things specifically because those were directly tied to their pockets. And in those smaller towns and red America or rural America, whatever you want to call it, they're passionate about those things.

[Laura Styles]

Did. Did you see? I think it was. I don't know if it was. The New York Times, a major outlet, did recently cover a dairy farm. And it's the same story we read all the time, man. It's affecting my farm deeply because, hello, all of the workers were undocumented folks.

[Rosenberg]

Listen, guys, I don't know.

[Laura Styles]

It's gonna affect me, man. You know, I hope he. I hope he pays attention to us that are drowning, that we were big supporters and some still are, Like, I still. I still believe in you, even though I'm drowning.

[Rosenberg]

Well, listen, obviously, obviously those people are not paying attention to the sage words that we're getting from true Trump supporters like Nick Hannon and Amber Rose, who explained this weekend that Trump gets a bad rap. He's not racist.

[Ebro Darden]

I mean, he.

[Rosenberg]

He went to Diddy's parties. He dated black women, for God's sake. He can't be Racist. It's just.

[Ebro Darden]

It's just hate.

[Rosenberg]

You know what I mean? They. They eloquently broke it down.

[Ebro Darden]

I got. I want to tell the audience I saw these headlines. I have.

[Rosenberg]

Couldn't even do it.

[Ebro Darden]

I didn't click on. I'm not going for this. This psyop bro. Wait, this is a psyop bro.

[Laura Styles]

This is the first time you're going to see it.

[Ebro Darden]

I haven't seen it. I haven't heard it because the last time I saw Nick, I saw this. I did see this, but I haven't heard him talking.

[Laura Styles]

Okay.

[Ebro Darden]

The last time I saw Nick Cannon, sir, you were black righteous, black consciousness personified. And not saying you can't be a Trump supporter and do that, but after what you're seeing from Trump, how can you be black righteousness, black consciousness personified and support the guy who's actively erasing black history from books or from schools, from museums. Got tons of black women unemployed. Like, I don't. How can you even. I don't even know how you fix your lips to do that. I don't. I really don't. Could. The answer is tells me. Which also for me, I don't believe him or Amber, full stop.

[Rosenberg]

You don't believe them?

[Ebro Darden]

I don't believe him.

[Rosenberg]

That they actually believe in their hearts that he's not racist at all.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't believe them. Yeah, because why is this happening now? Oh, I don't know. Let me check my watch. Midterms are around the corner and they want to. They want this conversation around because they do it every single time. They pay black folks to go out and act like the Democrats are still the party of the kkk because they know most people don't know history. And they don't know that Lyndon B. Johnson, when he signed the Civil Rights act and the Voting Rights act, most of the racists left the Democratic Party and became Republicans.

[Laura Styles]

It literally flips the Dixiecrats.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, the reason I went with most is because, you know, you have racist wherever, but literally the. The Red Party, the conservative Republican, the gop, the Grand Old Party is the party where. I'm not saying they're all racist, but if you're racist, you're likely a republic.

[Rosenberg]

That's why you ended up. That's how it went. The racist decided were going to be Republicans in like 64. Right? So. So yes, Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. It all. Saying it makes no sense. It shows such a basic lack of information. You know, like does is Nick Cannon at this stage. I mean, listen, the man's busy. He's got like 20 kids.

[Ebro Darden]

That's why I don't believe him. I don't believe you have.

[Rosenberg]

Come on, bro. You have to have done enough reading in your life and work.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't believe him. After all, he had the chalkboard in his last podcast. Remember the chalkboard? Where it was like learning with Nick Cann it. And he had the. He had the Haji from Johnny Quest turban on his head. You know what I'm saying, bro?

[Laura Styles]

What so you.

[Rosenberg]

But he was dropping mad uninformed stuff then, too. Don't forget when Nick.

[Ebro Darden]

No, but he was learning. It was like learning. But even then, I think he skipped this one.

[Rosenberg]

It just shows that he was never really learning anything. It's a gimmick.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't believe this.

[Rosenberg]

Nick Cannon was running around in high school with Bismarck. He was carrying his crates, working.

[Laura Styles]

Yes. Producer Griff knew him in high school. They went to high school together.

[Rosenberg]

He was running around outside. He wasn't learning.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, this is Al, you guys. I know people that work with Nick Cannon, have worked with Nick Cannon. This is algorithm hustling. He is being paid to do this.

[Laura Styles]

So your whole thing is just bought and paid for.

[Ebro Darden]

This is bought.

[Rosenberg]

I don't know if I buy.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't.

[Rosenberg]

I don't.

[Laura Styles]

I think he can be partially, but I just don't dismiss.

[Ebro Darden]

Either that or he wants tax breaks for all them damn babies. I just do not believe.

[Rosenberg]

I think Ebro is way too apt to. In my opinion. I could be wrong to believe that. There's always a check or a bigger plan. I think it's. People get.

[Ebro Darden]

Let me ask you this. Why now, bro? I don't like people who support it Trump. People who supported Trump from the beginning, who did it for the grift to get paid. It's not even popular. Why are you jumping on this now?

[Rosenberg]

It's not even popular.

[Ebro Darden]

It's not popping. The only thing popping about what Nick Cannon and Amber Rose are doing right now is the fact that it gets the algorithm going. That's the only thing. And they'll get some checks out of it. What else?

[Rosenberg]

What's the upside?

[Ebro Darden]

Trump in this whole thing is not winning at the midterms, guys. It's just not. And by the way, if it. You know, that's my point.

[Rosenberg]

It's not about that. It's. This is their personal. This is what they feel. I believe they feel. I will. I want to give credit to my friend Ballard, who, after he saw this story with the text of the Year, in my opinion, who just randomly texted me. I'm gonna let you finish. But Amber Rose was the worst wedding invite of all time. I was like, you know what? Listen, I literally. It was six weeks. Like, six weeks after my wedding. She just started this. And, like, you know, people have asked me if I've spoken to her about it. I haven't. My wife did once. It was what I expected it to be, which is like an excellent. You don't understand. Let me explain to you all the things that I will always.

[Ebro Darden]

Did she get out of her crypto scam?

[Rosenberg]

I don't know. I didn't even know anything about that. I want nothing but Amber to be well. And I care for her. She was always a great friend. I have no clue or understanding how this could be where she's at.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, my wife was like, why'd she wear that dress to Rosenberg's wedding? I don't like her. I don't trust her. That dress was trash. She's not a good friend.

[Rosenberg]

Well, listen, obviously it's hard for me to push back too hard right now. Cause this hasn't aged great. I cannot. And for Nick, you know, yo. When Nick. After Nick said the anti Semitic stuff and they made him, like, go to Hebrew school and he went on the full Jewish mission, somehow in there, they ended up teaching him about how great Trump was too. Maybe it was in the same class. All I know is I once had to go.

[Ebro Darden]

He might have went to Israel. Maybe that's what happened. He went to Israel and got the full Israel Maga download.

[Rosenberg]

Do you guys realize Nick. And we need to be clear. I think all of us have our own level of relationship with Nick also. Right? Always been lovely in my experience with him. I did great, great guy. I did his TV show. We've done. I've done a bunch of stuff with Nick over the years. Nick had me do his. He was doing a podcast with Jonathan Greenblatt from the adl. No, they did a podcast.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, so that's the ma. He did the Maga down. That's the Maga Download.

[Rosenberg]

I had to go. I went and did it on a Sunday.

[Ebro Darden]

That's the Maga Download. Now you're giving me the whole play. That's the Maga Download.

[Rosenberg]

But this was pretty. October 7th. This is pre. The mag.

[Ebro Darden]

But he stayed in.

[Rosenberg]

He stayed Israel collabo.

[Ebro Darden]

But he's in tune. That's why he's into. That's it. There it is.

[Rosenberg]

I don't think.

[Ebro Darden]

And there's money in it. There's money in it. It's the maga is real money download.

[Rosenberg]

I just don't think people are. My problem with Ebro's point is I just don't see them actually physically writing checks to people. And Nick's like, up, got my check. Time to go on TV and tell her. I don't see it.

[Laura Styles]

It's that direct struggle with that. But because I feel like sometimes I feel like Ebro's giving him a pass. But I do believe there's some. Some. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

[Ebro Darden]

How is. How is. How is that a pack?

[Rosenberg]

Because you're not believing that they could really have that bad an opinion. Yeah, like, you never want to accept that people have bad, immoral takes. You always.

[Ebro Darden]

It doesn't make. It doesn't make sense. Why now? I. That's what doesn't make. Amber's been on it. Why Nick now? Why Nick now?

[Rosenberg]

According.

[Ebro Darden]

He's woke now. Come on, guys. I'm not sums up.

[Laura Styles]

Should we run the clip?

[Ebro Darden]

There is no clip. He just had that little screenshot.

[Rosenberg]

Why don't we cleanse the palette and get Ebro to feel better and run this Duke clip from last night. You seen this yet? Have you seen it? You saw it?

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Laura, I just want you to understand this. You know, Duke. We don't need to explain.

[Laura Styles]

Duke. Yes, yes, yes.

[Rosenberg]

I left. I walked away. I went to dinner with people because

[Ebro Darden]

they were down by 20 and a half or something.

[Rosenberg]

They're up by 20. Was up by 20.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, wow. Okay.

[Rosenberg]

Up by 20. They're going to advance to the final four again. You know how Duke does it. And now all they have to do is inbound the ball. They are up two points with, I think, nine seconds to go.

[Ebro Darden]

And let me add this in here. Carlos Boozer, former NBA player. His son plays for Duke.

[Laura Styles]

Okay.

[Ebro Darden]

Sons, both of them. Excuse me, sons.

[Rosenberg]

And I want to also.

[Ebro Darden]

They're all over mad commercial. So Rosenberg.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, no. Boozer and the dad. Boozer is my age. Like, it was. It was the beef between Maryland and our fans threw bottles at Boozer's family. Like, that's it. That's how real it was. Not very nice, by the way, but Boozer, after the last game, he's the father. This annoyed me so much. I don't know if you saw this, Griff. When they won the last game, I saw Boozer going like this to the other crowd. I'm like, bro, you're not on the team anymore. You don't need to be waving, waving bye bye to the other team. You're a dad, bro. Here's what happened with Duke. Up to nine seconds left last night. You just got to inbound and get fouled. Oh, they're going to try to make the steel.

[Ebro Darden]

Wait.

[Rosenberg]

They made the steal. Wait.

[Ebro Darden]

They got.

[Rosenberg]

They got three seconds. Wait.

[Ebro Darden]

Ball game. Ball game. Watch Coach Hurley, though.

[Rosenberg]

Hurley's got no idea what's going on. Look at him.

[Ebro Darden]

Look at him.

[Laura Styles]

Crazy.

[Rosenberg]

Yo, that must have hurt so bad. That felt better, right?

[Laura Styles]

So sick.

[Ebro Darden]

I wasn't upset. Oh, well, you guys, Cannon and Amber Rose does nothing to me at all, other than I go, I'm not going for this psychological operation. That's it. That's all that happened.

[Rosenberg]

I think it's a good way to.

[Ebro Darden]

It's a MAGA ADL money play at the midterm. Mmm.

[Rosenberg]

It's a nice thought. I just. I don't believe him. I think people actually believe these things. They were. They. They were acting like they were building on something. Nah. You know, that's the party of the kkk. Nick, my guy, you know how long that.

[Ebro Darden]

That quote, the party of the kkk, has been circulating online? This is another reason why I don't believe it.

[Rosenberg]

That's like, what, 10 years?

[Ebro Darden]

No, that's ever since Trump started running. Yeah, ever since his.

[Rosenberg]

That was the.

[Ebro Darden]

That's. That's what the whole. The. The. The the hoteps and all of these people online run with that. Right?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, The. If you vote for the Democrats, you're not.

[Ebro Darden]

But here's the other part. There's. There's clear. Clear historical, empirical, Imperial. Imperial. Empirical evidence.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

That Abraham Lincoln, right out of his mouth. He didn't give a damn about black people like that. Like, stop acting like just because Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, like he was like an. A pro black person. That's not a thing either.

[Rosenberg]

Well, that's not what was about.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, the whole thing doesn't even make any sense. Bringing up Abraham Lincoln like he was some pro black righteous supporter of black folks and their, you know, liberty and freedom. Not a thing. And acting like Democrats, you know, aren't racist. Still, you could. Both are true. It's all true. But it is so even to get out here for. For Nick Cannon, who is. Are. You guys are saying he's just dumb. I'm not buying his. This level of stupidity. Do you know, honestly, I mean, I'm not buying it. I'm just not buying it.

[Rosenberg]

He makes. But he makes decisions that are very suspect, bro.

[Ebro Darden]

Like what?

[Rosenberg]

The kids thing. That's the work of an insane person. Let's stop.

[Ebro Darden]

Let's stop.

[Rosenberg]

I don't want to do the he's rich thing.

[Laura Styles]

Him going on his anti Semitic rant.

[Rosenberg]

He's had a lot. He's had a lot of really bad choices.

[Ebro Darden]

The kids thing. The kids thing I thought honestly was like, he's sick and he started having kids with women. I thought that was, yes, insane. But that doesn't mean you're uninformed. That just means it's. Yes, there's a level of insanity.

[Rosenberg]

It shows a level of bad thinking.

[Ebro Darden]

Bad thinking, fine.

[Rosenberg]

I'm not careful.

[Ebro Darden]

The anti Semitic thing. I once again still feel like Nick is always chasing a job, a gig, and a reason to be a headline. Like, always think about it. Always.

[Rosenberg]

What job is this chasing?

[Laura Styles]

Yes.

[Ebro Darden]

He wants us to. What? It wasn't this on a podcast.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, but the thing is, it doesn't make sense. Ibro. If you go look at the guest list that this guy's had, bro, he's interviewing cats. Like regular rapper cat. He had Larry June with him. He's had, like, rappers doing regular conversations. Then Amber pops on and they just start going into, you know, Trump's actually not a racist. And. But I don't.

[Ebro Darden]

And this gets the podcast.

[Rosenberg]

Maybe. You know what? Maybe.

[Ebro Darden]

And now he can one of two things. He can. He can learn again. Somebody can come sit with him. You know, I start, you know, where's. Do I put a bring up clip 13. Right. Because this is going to happen, right? Because there's people like us that people will call condescending. Right? We're condescending. We don't give people a chance. We're up here calling people stupid because you're uninformed. Yada, yada, yada. But then there's individuals right now. And I've shout to my guy, Gary Chambers, who's a great guy, and shout out to my guy, Isaac Hayes III, run this clip.

[Isaac Hayes III]

In the late 1800s, oh, we cut Southern Democrats, absolutely the party of the

[Ebro Darden]

cake in the beginning. He says, I am not here to say anything negative about Nick Cannon or speak down to Nick Cannon. I'm paraphrasing, right? That's not what we're doing. We're like, you're an idiot. I don't believe you. This is a psychological operation. You're taking money out. That's the type of time we're on. There's a number of people out there who are using this as an educational moment because they believe that people don't know this information, even though it's all over social media for the last 10 years about the Democratic Party flipping. This conversation's been going on and on and on. Which takes me back to. It's a psychological operation. It's almost like somebody was like, run the Abraham Lincoln play again.

[Rosenberg]

I, I feel you. It does feel very familiar, I hear.

[Laura Styles]

But when I read comments, I'm surprised at the amount of people that. Well, yes, yes, it is a lot.

[Rosenberg]

Those could be fake too, Laura.

[Ebro Darden]

Maybe.

[Rosenberg]

Are those comments?

[Laura Styles]

Maybe, maybe because sometimes I click on them and they're not bots. They're real people.

[Rosenberg]

They look like real people.

[Laura Styles]

And then I remember this is exactly why they want to erase black history. Well, don't edit history, period.

[Ebro Darden]

And Laura, don't confuse bot with not real person. We use sometimes when you throw around the term bot, people think it's like a computer algorithmic thing, which it can.

[Laura Styles]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Ebro Darden]

It can also be paid influencers whose job it is to start accounts, multiple accounts, go out and rage bait. So anyway, run Isaac Hayes clip for me.

[Rosenberg]

Sorry about that.

[Isaac Hayes III]

In the late 1800s, Southern Democrats were absolutely the party of the KKK 100%. They believed in slavery. They wanted black people to remain slaves and have no rights in the North. The Republicans, the party of Lincoln, had abolitionists and people wanted people that wanted to have. See black people have rights. That is the truth. But here's the part that everybody leaves out. In the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights act of 1964 and the Voting Rights act of 1965. Those two pieces of legislation drove the majority of the races out of the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. And that's the shift in the part that everybody leaves out, because that was a huge political shift in this country. And. And what that's called is party realignment. Right. Where the ideas of a political party switch. Political parties are not static. They can change over time, and the ideas can shift. And so that was a huge shift in the Republican and Democratic Party. After that, the racists tend to lean more conservative and be part of the Republican Party. And the Democrats now in the south, when segregation was gone, still contained a large number of black people that voted Democrat. So, Nick, what you said is partly correct, but it's not all the truth.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, I guess. I guess I'm just sick of having to say that over and over again. That's like, sorry, just pay attention to school, guys. This is old information.

[Ebro Darden]

But that's what I wanted to point out is, is once again, now there are some people who will handle this. And I'm gonna say it correctly. That's handling it correctly on this show.

[Rosenberg]

That's all we do.

[Ebro Darden]

We don't do that. No, we don't have the patience for that.

[Rosenberg]

We've all done that.

[Ebro Darden]

I don't have the patience for that. I can't believe if. For me, if I see and read information, I can't. And it's in the same places where y' all see and read information. How did you not receive the information? I don't know.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, I can't. I can't do it any. But also, I didn't. I don't think any of us said anything super mean today.

[Ebro Darden]

No, we. I think we did. I think we name called about Amber. I told him he was wearing a haji from Johnny Quest turban.

[Rosenberg]

Well, you know what that was. You did do that. You slipped it in quick. Ayo, but.

[Ebro Darden]

And I said, my wife trashed Amber Rose's dress and hair and outfit. Well, not her hair, but her outfit at your wedding. And said it was inappropriate. She was not a friend.

[Rosenberg]

Well, that's not an insult. That's just how your lady felt. I tried my best to come in today, not calling anyone idiots or anything like that, but they're uninformed. It's ridiculous. It's offensive. And my point was, to me, there's nothing to talk about. There's no conversation I don't have a conversation. I'm not gonna have a conversation where someone explains to me that I'm wrong about what I see when I hear that one of the arguments they're making out loud in front of people is Donald Trump's not racist. He used to party with Diddy, you

[Ebro Darden]

know, by the way, congratulations, you played.

[Rosenberg]

They have to understand, first of all, for Nick Cannon, of all people to have a conversation where he could indulge someone even saying one might not be racist because they either dated black women or had black friends, that's silly to the point of he absolutely knows that means nothing about whether or not you're racist. Furthermore, and we talk about.

[Ebro Darden]

But doesn't that. Because of that.

[Rosenberg]

Yes, I see.

[Ebro Darden]

That makes me jump right to you. Get in the bag, Nick. You want the algo to be popping in your favor. The adl Israel Mago game. Whatever you're doing here to ingratiate yourself back with white folks after you did whatever you did, that's your hustle.

[Rosenberg]

And for the record, to me, what the Trump administration does and has been doing has very little to do with Trump's racism. Yes, Trump has a proven pass of racism. We saw it with the Central Park Five. We saw it with him not wanting to rent his apartments to black folks. We know those things. But that is not the essence of racism right now. Is not really a Trump. To me, it's a Stephen Miller thing. This is the operation that they think is best. Project 2025 is what they all think is best for them to all take over the world and have white people take over the world. I think Trump is totally fine with it, cuz he's completely immoral and he's an empty vessel.

[Laura Styles]

Yes, he aligns with him.

[Rosenberg]

No, he's also a race. He's also a racist. But like making it about Trump's racism is not even seeing it clearly enough for what it is. Yes, Trump was a racist.

[Ebro Darden]

Is a.

[Rosenberg]

No, no, but I'm saying prior to all of this. But they also have an entire operation around him that's built on racism. So even if you were to try to make some case of, well, Trump himself is friendly with black folks, it's irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the kind of literal systemic racism that they are working on. This is like real fundamental systemic racism. Their building. And you're telling me he partied with Diddy?

[Ebro Darden]

Well, yeah, I mean, it's ridiculous like you said. And you use the word fundamental racism, it's more. It's even more insidious than that. This is like some real Manifest destiny racism. This is the.

[Rosenberg]

The, like, genealogy. Highest level, the worst.

[Laura Styles]

I mean, you've seen Steve Bannon, and he's.

[Ebro Darden]

Yo, you guys, Hegseth. Never forget that tattoo on Pete Hegseth's chest. Yeah, it is a religious white supremacist tattoo, bro. Like, it's on his chest when he. Remember that speech he had the other day when he went out there and was like, you know, basically, we're gonna do this for the Lord and this is what we're meant. And our savior and the religious war talk and all of this other nonsense.

[Laura Styles]

No, these people are crazy. To your point. There's so many of them that he's aligned with.

[Rosenberg]

So many.

[Ebro Darden]

And bring up clip 16 for me, Bascom. This is a retired general, okay? Talking about Pete Hegseth. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters

[Rosenberg]

to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. Those are the words of a potential war criminal right there. And that is not the advice and counsel and direction that any Secretary of Defense should be providing our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. It puts them actually in greater danger. The Secretary of Defense is a disgraced major that was kicked out of the D.C. national Guard. He has no qualifications whatsoever to be the Secretary of Defense other than his extreme loyalty to the President. Again, those are the words of a potential war criminal. Well, it's the most insane sounding thing. I mean, that was a weekend Fox News host.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Who is deciding who can ultimately decide whether or not Americans are safe and is deciding right now if Americans all over the world are safe.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, and so back to Donald Trump. Donald Trump, his singular focus on his monetary gain from this position, making sure his name is on certain things, and his name is associated with certain things. His lack of care, maybe he. Even his lack of mental kind of fortitude. I think his dementia is. Is really, really, really in there. You mix all of that with the fact that he surrounded himself on purpose with these racists. Like, there was a part of the plan, has lied, has. Has manipulated, has broken laws, has done all of these things. This is a part of a plan to make sure that the United States of America is aligned with the most insidious white supremacist ideals that have been, by the way, bubbling in this nation since its inception. They've been trying to get to this point. This is not new. And anybody aligning with it. That's what you're aligning with seems that.

[Rosenberg]

But that seems fairly obvious to all of us, so.

[Ebro Darden]

But you guys want to act like Amber and Nick don't.

[Rosenberg]

I just.

[Ebro Darden]

But, well, they're. They're as bad as Trump because they just don't care enough to say, no, I'm not going to. I'm not going to align with that. Right. Like, it's not important enough to them.

[Rosenberg]

But it's even worse. It's even worse. I could actually find a little bit. A tiny bit more grace for someone who's like, I don't really like a lot of the stuff, social stuff, Trump's saying, but business wise, I just. Politics are bs. I follow the business and this is what I do. I don't respect it, but I can have a little less anger about it. They are outright saying, no. No. The stuff you're saying about the way he sees the world is a lie. There is no racism there. What you're seeing, they're gaslighting us. They're telling us. We're not even seeing racism. You know why? Because he went to, like, the white party with Diddy. So it's, it's, it's an embarrassment. It's a disgrace. Let's get to the rundown. Can we?

[Ebro Darden]

Let's do it. Rundown time.

[Laura Styles]

All right, so this weekend, guys, on Saturday, I was able to go check out Moulin Rouge on Broadway with Megan. Thee Stallion.

[Ebro Darden]

When you say able, like, you bought tickets.

[Laura Styles]

Yes, yes.

[Ebro Darden]

Nice.

[Laura Styles]

I got tickets. Yes, yes, yes. So, yo. It was fun. It was so fun. It was great. I thought that Megan was just gonna be like, a small part of it, but no, she's in it. In it throughout the entire thing. She plays Ziddler, which is the club owner.

[Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Laura Styles]

So she basically carries the show, but it's definitely a modern version of. Because they, like, weave in, like, pop hits. But she's. She's fantastic. Like, she's fun. And at the end, she breaks out into like a small. When I tell you small. It's a small, like one minute medley of her. Of her songs, but with the entire cast, they just do a phenomenal job. It is great. Go watch it. She's there until, like, May 17th. But overall, I'm a big fan. I go support Broadway. They do great things.

[Rosenberg]

It. It feels like a good fit for Megan.

[Laura Styles]

Yes. When you see it, you're like, I get it.

[Rosenberg]

You guys know, I kind of keep pushing, like, what is Megan's brand? I've been like, like, musically where going, like, she's very big on commercials. She does this, she does that. Broadway and shows kind of feels like the perfect hybrid of things that work for Megan. She's charismatic. Could see her being a good actor.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rosenberg]

You know what I'm saying? It's kind of. It's kind of a dope fit for her.

[Ebro Darden]

Go, Meg, go.

[Laura Styles]

Yes, yes, yes. And speaking of amazing females, Cardi B brought out Lil Kim at msg. Did you guys see that?

[Rosenberg]

Oh, of course I saw.

[Laura Styles]

I was really excited, honestly. My friend invited me.

[Ebro Darden]

Were you there that night?

[Laura Styles]

No, I didn't go. I didn't go. I didn't go. But all my friends who did said it was one of the best shows. They've gone to, like, the energy in there. They were, like. The energy was beyond.

[Rosenberg]

She brought out Cardi and Cash co. I mean, she brought up Kim and Cash Cobain that night.

[Laura Styles]

And a boogie.

[Ebro Darden]

A boogie on Thursday. That was the night Jazz went. Went Thursday night.

[Rosenberg]

Thursday, she brought a boogie and someone else, too.

[Laura Styles]

And then I saw that in Jersey,

[Ebro Darden]

she brought out Fetty Wap, which was crazy. Fetty Wap almost started crying.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, really?

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah. I mean, that's what it looked like in the clip.

[Laura Styles]

Right? Right.

[Ebro Darden]

He's been watching. I wasn't there, but, yeah, just the amount of love that he. Jersey.

[Laura Styles]

What did Jazz say about her experience?

[Ebro Darden]

She loved it. She thought it was a phenomenal show. She had a great time. Like, there was. She had nothing negative.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, Natalie really enjoyed it. She went to the MSG show. Really enjoyed it.

[Ebro Darden]

What night did Natalie go?

[Rosenberg]

Thursday.

[Ebro Darden]

There she is. Oh, that was when she ran into mom Donnie.

[Rosenberg]

She ran into mom Donnie on the train, which is crazy. She bumped into Zoron, who was also. And she jokingly was like, you go to Cardi B. You go. And he was acting, and he was kind of, like, laughing, like, actually, yeah, I am going. And he was on his way to Cardi as well. But, yeah, she said it was dope. But Natalie also had a really, like. She kind of set a high bar for herself. She'd been watching every clip of that concert for the last six weeks.

[Laura Styles]

Okay, okay.

[Rosenberg]

And I think a lot of people went into that show with low expectations.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, really?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. Like, I think people were seeing the show in the first few, like, weeks not knowing what a Cardi B. Arena concert was gonna look like. And then they were like, you know, really impressed by how put together show.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, Jazz was mostly struck. And as always with Cardi B. Just knowing where she started and where she's at.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

You know, a girl from the Bronx from the bx, who now is performing at the Garden and is still herself.

[Laura Styles]

Yes.

[Ebro Darden]

You know what I mean?

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. And also just taking a shit on Nicki. I mean, the bringing out Kim at msg, she has. I think she sold out msg, Prudential, and Barkley center for a total of like six.

[Laura Styles]

I mean, and then all. I love seeing, like, Maya the Don, Remy Ma, like, all the rap girls who went to just enjoy and support the show. I thought that was fun.

[Rosenberg]

Well, yeah, no one. No one has. Unless your name is Bia or Nicki Minaj, you don't really have a problem with Cardi. Like, she gets love from everybody.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

So it's pretty dope then.

[Laura Styles]

All right, well, Ebro, you were front and center versus Went down. Yeah, versus Hank and Tyrese.

[Ebro Darden]

Listen, when. When I going into it, I saw a lot of people were like, what? Tank and Tyrese? I was like, guys, it's gonna be a movie. It's gonna be big. And look, if you're, you know, love R and B like I do, and you love those two guys. They're two. Both great guys. It was a great night. And then obviously, people forget that Tyrese is such a character, maybe, and forget that they were in a group together. So the showmanship and them talking ish

[Rosenberg]

to each other because they have a

[Ebro Darden]

real relationship really, I think, brought the level of entertainment up. So it was great. It was great.

[Laura Styles]

I saw a nice picture of Ebro with them. I was like, look at you.

[Rosenberg]

I thought we were gonna see it. I went over and looked

[Ebro Darden]

at my turtleneck.

[Laura Styles]

Tada.

[Ebro Darden]

There you go.

[Laura Styles]

That's Jordan from Complex.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah. Shout out to my guy, Jordan from Complex. Complex and Apple Music.

[Rosenberg]

And that Genuine photo wasn't right, though. The face he's making makes him look nuts. He looks so. In real life, he looks, like, so young. Genuine. I mean, sorry. Sorry, Tank. Sorry. Oh, Tank, I'm sorry I said genuine. I don't know why Genuine's on. Genuine's on the mind.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, Tank's. Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Tank's making the old man face in real life. He looks mad young because he mid laughs. It was like, come on, NASA. I'm gonna tell you these R and B hits.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, look, I. You know.

[Laura Styles]

[Ebro Darden]

hopefully after people. It's. It's. It's so interesting to me because people downplay R and B. I don't think R and B really gets, like, the love that it should. Like.

[Rosenberg]

Well, the last few weeks have been a lot of talk about R and B.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, yeah, but it always is, like, you know, since it's not popular with, like, suburban white kids like that, I feel like it falls by. It falls by the wayside with the headlines, and a lot of the executives in business, because they're little teenage boys ain't into it.

[Rosenberg]

Yep.

[Ebro Darden]

But, like, in real life, you got to see the power of R B and, like, what it means to be.

[Laura Styles]

How was that energy in the room?

[Ebro Darden]

That was. I mean, come on, man. It was incredible. It was. I mean, super fans up front. There was, like, roses they were handing out up front. You know, it was great. It was great. There was. It was literally. No negative. What do you have over there, Rahsaan? Let's see the V. A little clip. Well, and then the other thing. These guys are real singers. Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Saw Tyrese on the bus. You know what he's capable of.

[Laura Styles]

Just randomly, you know, we went to summer,

[Ebro Darden]

Everyone was like, yes, this is amazing. Oh, now it's the jacket with the suede lapel. You switch from the shiny. You switch from the shiny lapel,

[Rosenberg]

by the way. It does. I know we're not allowed to say it. It does give R. Kelly that love, doesn't it? Rapping, adding things like singing about turtleneck and, like, whenever you hear stupid, silly lyrics in an R and B song, you.

[Ebro Darden]

All of that is black church, though. All of that is rooted in the black church. And. And. But, yeah, like, you know, yeah, you could give it to R. Kelly if that's your entry point. You know what I'm saying? But R B singer's been doing that forever. But I just. The thing that Was another thing that was important to me about this verse is. Was it was coming on the heels of the whole Jack Harlow gate.

[Rosenberg]

That's what I mean. Well, when you just said the thing I'm saying there's been a lot of R and B talk last night that people do obviously care about R and B, but I think that was a brilliant point. It's not what the executives. Little white kids are into.

[Ebro Darden]

That's right.

[Rosenberg]

So it's. It's. It's now niche technically, but it's the

[Ebro Darden]

backbone of all popular music. Like, literally, you don't have hip hop without R B. You have. You don't have the pop records, all of the great pop records that you love. They're all R B records. All that Backstreet Boys, all of that. All the K pop is R B records. It's all that. It comes from that route right there. But it was great. And if you missed it, you can watch it on Apple Music Zone Demand.

[Rosenberg]

There you go.

[Laura Styles]

Let's do it. Also, you guys, we haven't. We haven't gotten it into this. We haven't talked about Drew Ski.

[Rosenberg]

You going to bring up Drew Ski at.

[Ebro Darden]

At.

[Rosenberg]

At 8:51? We're gonna bring up Drew.

[Ebro Darden]

You want to punt Drew Ski, though? Tomorrow.

[Laura Styles]

You want to talk about it tomorrow?

[Rosenberg]

I feel like. I feel like we might have to punch Drew tomorrow because it needs time, bro.

[Ebro Darden]

My only. Look, I could be wrong. Before we hit the guru Guru. I'mma just say the Drew Ski thing. Got it. Blows me away how serious people take Charlie Kirk. I'm still blown away by this, bro. I'm still very. Every time I see people put Charlie Kirk's name in conversation with some of the greatest leaders in the history of the world.

[Laura Styles]

Blows my mind.

[Ebro Darden]

It. It. It's staggering from it. It. It takes me a second to like, I. I don't get it.

[Rosenberg]

You don't think of him as Charlie Luther King is what you're saying?

[Ebro Darden]

I do not.

[Rosenberg]

It's almost like. I would almost say it's like. It's another example of playing in people's face to treat it like that. Not that, by the way, there shouldn't be people who are saddened. He's a young guy with a family who was murdered.

[Ebro Darden]

That's terrible.

[Rosenberg]

Sad, terrible. But. And I'm sure there are some people, especially, like, kids who. He was like their entry point to learning about stuff online. So they were like, wow. And then I watched him get murdered. I can see how that would affect a certain sect of people. But the way they try to project it onto being a national holiday kind of vibe, to me, that's playing in black people's faces. That's playing in the face of civil rights leaders who truly gave their lives to do things and were struck down. It's like, what? Look, it happens to white people, too. And it's like, no, that's not even an apples to apples thing. Which is the perfect comparison. Because the whole Drew Ski thing is about comparing, quote, whiteface to blackface.

[Ebro Darden]

Yes.

[Laura Styles]

All.

[Rosenberg]

Again, not understanding. You can't make. You're allowed to be offended by it. If you don't like it and offends you, be offended by whatever you want.

[Ebro Darden]

Whiteface is not a thing.

[Rosenberg]

White face was not created so you could keep white people out of entertainment. So you.

[Ebro Darden]

You painted people's faces. Ever harmed, abused, or, you know, marginalized because their face got painted white.

[Rosenberg]

I saw someone write a breakdown of that. Like, they broke down the whole thing. Like, white face is this. You know what? You're allowed to be offended by it. Blah, blah, blah. And my friend Michelle Beadle, who always with the shits, responded, first comment, whitey here, not offended. Proceed. Like, it's not. There's no history to it. It's just putting on makeup to make fun of a person. You want to be offended that he made fun of Erica. Kirk, if that's your choice, go for it. But to act as if there's some deep racial offense there just shows.

[Ebro Darden]

Not a thing.

[Laura Styles]

So we'll cover it tomorrow because I still want to get into that. And Chili, we got to talk about her tomorrow.

[Rosenberg]

Oh, man, the Chili of it all. Forgot about that. And also on Patreon this week, we are gonna play some music from the Kanye album. We have to. I mean, listen, we have to at least talk about a little bit.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you saying? Like, we shouldn't or.

[Rosenberg]

Well, there's. I think there's some people who are firmly with the. Like, I don't want to hear I'm good. Like, there are definitely some people who are with the. I'm good. Yeah. And I don't need to hear any of it. But I think from a music standpoint, there's some interesting things to. To listen to.

[Ebro Darden]

There's some fire on that, bro.

[Rosenberg]

Some interesting stuff.

[Ebro Darden]

Gurus.

[Rosenberg]

Hey, yo. It's time for the Gurus.

[Ebro Darden]

Rosenberg.

[Rosenberg]

Laura, you know, you are a beautiful queen. Ebro, don't ever play yourself.

[Ebro Darden]

You're not a girl.

[Laura Styles]

Yes, the Original gurus. Gmail.com. the original gurus. Gmail.com where the gurus unite to shine the light. Ebro, burn the sage. Hi, Rosenberg.

[Ebro Darden]

Zen.

[Laura Styles]

Who's writing to us? Who needs us?

[Rosenberg]

Theorigalgurusmail.com, theoriginalgurusmail.com your destination, for clarity. Hello, gurus, longtime listener and family of the show. Laughing emoji. Interesting. I'm writing to the original gurus because I feel the three of you can give some advice. Not only to me, but I'm sure there are a bunch of people, other late millennial men in similar situations.

[Ebro Darden]

Okay.

[Rosenberg]

As I get closer to that scary 40 number. I'm currently 38.

[Ebro Darden]

Why are you scared?

[Rosenberg]

I have been thinking more seriously about a potential family in the near future. Most of my friends all have multiple kids and are married, so I'm the last one standing. I'm single with no real potentials in sight. But as far as people who got the blessing of starting a family later in your lives, I wanted to know, what are some of the challenges or fears you faced? What can I expect? And was there ever a point when you doubted it could happen? Would love to hear your thoughts and advice as I conquer the end of these 30 year old roads.

[Ebro Darden]

Aw. Hmm.

[Laura Styles]

It's actually more normal than you think because I have a lot of girlfriends that are in that position too, who are like, man, like, everyone else has kids or they come with me to my child's events and they, you know, they're supportive, but they're like, am I ever going to be a mom? Am I ever gonna have a family? So it's. It's something that's happening more than. It's more than you think. It's more common than you think.

[Rosenberg]

That's. I totally agree with that.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Now, does this person have a partner already?

[Rosenberg]

No. No. He said no potentials in sight.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, you want to start there? Let's start with the basics. Do people like you?

[Rosenberg]

Do you like people?

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Why are you emailing?

[Rosenberg]

You get out there.

[Ebro Darden]

Get out there. Meet someone. And by the way, think of all of the things that you've heard from, you know, potentials or exes in the past about the fact that your house still looks like you're a college student or, you know, or I don't know, we don't know. Or maybe you have some weird odor in your home. Maybe you don't have food in your fridge. Maybe you don't look like you. Maybe you look disheveled. I don't know. Who wrote this email?

[Rosenberg]

Got It.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ebro Darden]

Maybe you look disheveled all the time. You don't look like you care about yourself. Nobody could care about you if you don't care about yourself.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm not as he's a little crazy, but I think that you should take care of yourself.

[Rosenberg]

Of course.

[Laura Styles]

But I also. Listen, I also think don't shy away from apps because this is a conversation that I have.

[Ebro Darden]

Talking like, you know, who sent this email?

[Laura Styles]

No, I'm just saying it's a normal thing.

[Rosenberg]

I know you.

[Ebro Darden]

Oh, you do know.

[Laura Styles]

Oh, well, anyway, I don't think people should shy away from apps because that's how people date now. You know a lot. I have one homegirl who's like, absolutely not yet. She works at home, doesn't go out. So I'm like, how are you ever going to meet anyone delusional? Like, you're not going out, taking classes.

[Ebro Darden]

Delusion.

[Laura Styles]

You only come out with me with my delusional. So how are you ever going to meet someone delusional? So that's why I think that you shouldn't shy away from the dating apps. Just try it. Yes.

[Rosenberg]

What is she, Eva?

[Laura Styles]

I've heard delusion. I've heard horror stories, but I've also heard people who have found their true love.

[Ebro Darden]

How about this? Whatever that thing is that you know, you need to work on that physical thing. Maybe there's an educational thing, maybe there's a professional thing that you need to work.

[Rosenberg]

Do you think, for example, that the Republican Party is the not racist party that would welcome of you? Sorry.

[Ebro Darden]

Well, no.

[Rosenberg]

Education.

[Ebro Darden]

Education joint. Go. Go back to school. Take a class, do things that are going to better yourself and you're going to meet other people.

[Rosenberg]

You know what my friend was telling me? You know, my friend was telling me that there are no straight dudes in there doing. And he just. He just happens to do it for exercise. But he's a married man. Pilates classes.

[Ebro Darden]

Now that Pilates is popping. Let me tell you something, fellas.

[Rosenberg]

But you got to not be a creep for a long time. You got to. You got to be in there and do the work for a long time so they know you're not just there

[Ebro Darden]

to be a creep. Pilates, creepy Pilates and spinning classes. I know dudes want to act tough and you want to lift all the big weights and you want to get in front of the mirror, take your ass to one of them spinning classes or Pilates classes where it's full of girls and get your ass kicked, bro.

[Rosenberg]

Get Your ass kicked and just be there to hang out and, you know, be a friend who's just there. Don't be there creeping. Yeah, but, you know, go to the places where you can meet ladies.

[Ebro Darden]

That's it.

[Laura Styles]

But there's all kind of classes, and even if you take, I don't know, like a pottery class, whatever.

[Rosenberg]

But. But real quick.

[Ebro Darden]

Go for a hike. Join a hiking.

[Rosenberg]

But I don't. I hate. You know what I call hiking is just called walking uphill. Not a fan.

[Laura Styles]

But my friend met her bull at a run club.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah, but is this person in California? Are they walking up Runyon Canyon? It's not popping over here.

[Laura Styles]

Portland. I don't know.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, Bear Mountain is popping. What are you talking about? You could be right here in the Palisades. Hiking. They have hiking trails. 10 minutes. Super nice.

[Rosenberg]

I'll just say this, though. I understand the fear. I definitely, definitely post divorce, like, oh, man, how is this ever getting back on the rail? Validate me. Coming soon. But listen, a lot of people go through it, and it's annoying when people say this, but control what you can control. There's a plan that's bigger than you, my guy. Just do your thing. But you do have to try to meet people.

[Laura Styles]

Just go out there and try new things for yourself.

[Rosenberg]

You remember the joke about how the guy's drowning and a boat comes by? And the guy's like, I don't need the boat. God will save me. And then someone else comes, a helicopter comes by, and he's like, no, God will save me. And then another thing comes by. He's like, no, God will save me. And then he drowns and dies. And when he gets to heaven, he's like, God, what happened? And God's like, I sent you a boat and a helicopter. You gotta. You gotta. Like, just because what's meant to be will be. Doesn't mean you shouldn't take advantage of the apps and the opportunities.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, you gotta work, man.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah. Yeah. Put in that work.

[Ebro Darden]

Putting in no work to get what you want. You're not getting it.

[Laura Styles]

Yeah. Outside of work. Hopefully this helps. Wishing you luck.

[Ebro Darden]

So say the Guru Bow Monday show. We didn't shout any super chat all day.

[Rosenberg]

Do you want me to try to hit it quick?

[Laura Styles]

Yeah, yeah. Go show them some love, man.

[Rosenberg]

Make sure you always.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah.

[Rosenberg]

Kamini, I hear activists saying Americans are not angry enough and need to do more than just protest. Please bring someone on to highlight actual steps that we can take to stand against what is happening.

[Ebro Darden]

All right, Say less.

[Rosenberg]

Ebro doesn't watch Ms. Now because his guy Ari Melbourne talks about these issues every day. What?

[Ebro Darden]

No, I watch Ms. Now and I watch Ari Melbourne. I'm just talking about on social media and regular news. But yeah, a lot of these convos are on Ms. Now.

[Rosenberg]

Jjw, what up? And little big meat says I went to New York for a decade straight for summer jam from Chicago off of these three. And flex, keep growing the platform. Rooting from the shy.

[Laura Styles]

Nice shout out to Marian Jefferson. She sent us a nice little gift, I think last week. She was mad at you for not shouting you shouting her out. Oh, she believes you skipped her. So I said, look, we're gonna show you some love.

[Rosenberg]

Wow. My bad. I didn't mean to.

[Laura Styles]

Marriage.

[Rosenberg]

MJ9028 also shouts to the great Rhea Ripley estate. Stepping in with us later today. RAW is at Madison Square Garden tonight. WrestleMania season is here. And we're gonna have some stuff this week with the great Rhea Ripley.

[Rosenberg]

[Rosenberg]

No, no. Becky Lynch. No beef with Ria.

[Ebro Darden]

You and Ria are good.

[Rosenberg]

Yeah. Yeah. In fact, she's stepping in today. I was gonna suggest we just we do it live with her. Said, but that if I don't. But you know, if you don't talk about these things with Ebro in advance and it sounds like you're going willy nilly and coming off the top of your dome with an idea, he's gonna be like, you don't do. We are gonna talk about. But like I was thinking we just jump on with her and do a show.

[Ebro Darden]

Yeah, you love a just jump.

[Rosenberg]

I love a jump on.

[Ebro Darden]

You love a jump on.

[Rosenberg]
