K Pop Demon Hunters, Saja Boy's Breakfast Meal and Hunt Trick's Meal have just dropped at McDonald's. They're calling this a battle for the fans. What do you say to that, Rumi? It's not a battle. So glad the Saja Boys could take breakfast and give our meal the rest of the day.

[B]

It is an honor to share.

[A]

No, it's our honor.

[B]

It is our larger honor.

[C]

No, really, stop.

[A]

You can really feel the respect in this battle. Pick a meal to pick a side.

[B]

Ba da ba ba ba. And participate in McDonald's while supplies last.

[D]

Just don't call it a podcast. Yo, Laura, hit the intro. Fam, you in the studio. Oh, look at Laura. Got the buttons on fire. E bro, Laura Rosenberg show. Reporting for duty, ladies and gentlemen. We got a big Charlie Kirk discovery that just came out in court yesterday. We got more chili discoveries from tlc and now they're on Big boy from outkast. Net, too. It's gonna be a busy show. Rosenberg, you're stuck in some sort of purgatory. What's happening with you, bro?

[B]

Glad you asked, Ebro. I just want to let everybody know today, you know what I'm saying? This is a family matter situation. We are. We are mid move. My marriage survived day one of the move, which was tremendous.

[D]

The longest move move. Yo, this been going on for a year on top of baby. We're gonna have to look back at it. No wonder you need another podcast called Validate Me. That's crazy.

[B]

No, this is going to require documentaries, but at any moment. Guys, if you just see my camera go off, that's because milk is getting made around me. It's all happening, so I'm gonna do the best I can. They also shouts to Verizon. They turned my Internet off at the start of the day, so that's tight. Thank you very much. So I'm rocking off the cell phone right now. So we're doing everything.

[D]

Why did they wait? Because you're moving. So they turned it off because you weren't gonna pay it anymore?

[B]

No, I'm transferring, though. Like, their fios is moving to my new address. I don't know why that doesn't start till 3 o', clock, but they decided to shut off my Internet here, like 7 o', clock, so great.

[D]

Oh, great.

[B]

This is. This is the situation.

[D]

Yo, you know we got an inside plug at Verizon, right?

[B]

No.

[D]

Yeah,

[A]

yeah.

[D]

But you know Bugsy, our brother?

[B]

Of course I know him.

[D]

Well, Verizon and his. I think his daughter works there too. I don't.

[B]

But you already did.

[A]

I know.

[D]

That was the Trump version of. I'm not, I don't want to say this, but, you know.

[B]

No, no, it's the Kanye, it's the Kanye video. I don't want to tell you what the doctor was. But he was a Jewish doctor. He was a Jewish doctor.

[D]

Now, Laura, you're holding the studio down. The studio looks lovely on from the outside looking in. I, I gotta say, you know, we did, we did our, we did a thing with that studio, bro.

[A]

I, I, we, we'll pat ourselves on the back because everyone says that. I say that. We all say that. It looks really good.

[D]

And, and the mug, the sold out mug looks nice on, on the desk there.

[A]

Laura Styles. Well, you know what?

[D]

Designed by the merch manager, Laura Stouts.

[A]

I gave, I gave our, our family. I'm letting them rock with the mug. So if you still would like a mug, you can purchase it. That's the only thing I left out there for you guys to cop.

[D]

And, oh, look at you.

[A]

They're very popular, so I'm gonna leave them up, you know, and then I'll change a little design. You just got to keep following and listening to us. So, you know, because people get mad. They were like, yo, some lady was like, you guys are not supreme. Why are you making it so limited? I was like, bruh, that's all we can handle.

[D]

Nah, it really, to whoever said that, it's really more about the fact that we can only manage so much.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So.

[D]

And that's already taken, what, it takes a week or two to get out the door like that?

[A]

Yeah, more like this whole week we're printing packaging, and next week we're shipping. So listen, you got to pay attention when it drops, you better get it. That's all I got to say.

[D]

And you don't think we give ample time for people or something? Or should we be, like, dropping merch more frequently or open it up more frequently? Like, what do you think?

[A]

No, I think that we announce it, we post it. You know what I mean? We all post it. Like, I feel like we do a good job, right, Rosenberg? I feel like we do a good job of promoting it when it's up.

[B]

No, this is, I think we, I think we've done a great job. Listen, I say the same things about, like, yo, why do we have to do the supreme drop? But the truth is a, we can only handle so much at one time. And the exclusivity and the quickness is what makes it kind of A fun game for the El Army. It's kind of a fun thing to do.

[A]

That's right.

[D]

Well, and some. Now, do we all align on some of the early items coming back? Are we all aligned on that Ebro?

[A]

Why are you spilling the beans?

[D]

Oh, sorry. I guess we are, like, supreme then. We can't even.

[A]

We're all secretary.

[D]

We can't even publicly share like, yo, who knew?

[A]

We got plans. That's all I gotta say. We got plans.

[D]

All right. We got plans.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

We got plans. Now, Rosenberg, the Rhea Ripley thing is available on our YouTube page, if you missed her. We did a special live yesterday at 10am with Rhea Ripley, the big superstar from the WWE, which people seem to love on the social media. You were inside the Garden last night for Monday Night Raw. How did we do with Rhea Ripley?

[B]

Well, two things. One, I don't believe you're connected to your microphone. I know sounds crazy coming from Mimi Captain Blurry right now on YouTube. But my ear, I think you're talking at your computer mic, so you might have to actually leave and come back because they make that annoying. Number two, I thought we did great with Ria. Ria does a lot of content in general. You know, she.

[D]

She's.

[B]

She goes out there, she does her thing, she works really hard, and she does the interviews. I thought it was like a really great casual conversation. And Laura, can you reveal publicly, do you feel bad revealing publicly what you said to me privately?

[A]

No, I. I mean, listen, out of all the amazing guests that Rosenberg has brought from the wwe, and I've loved a lot of them, I'm gonna be honest with you. I think Rhea Ripley is my favorite. And just because she was so cool and genuine and it didn't feel like rehearsed, like she was putting on a Persona. She was just herself. And I just found her really, really, really, really, really genuine. And she's my favorite right now.

[D]

And I say it based on facts.

[A]

She was so cool, dude.

[D]

She's. She.

[B]

She's such a cool person. She's just super duper cool and down to earth, and I just hope the best for her. It's. To me, it's an ins. We talked about it. So I just think there's an insane amount of pressure on.

[E]

On her.

[B]

She just is. When you're that popular and you mean that much to people. And one thing we didn't even get into, Laura are in love with her. Like, so many different kinds of people are in love with her. And, like, it just is very deep, the connection they have with her.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I just, I'm immensely proud. I've watched her entire career and, and I'm glad that you guys got to like, kind of feel the vibe. And also, yo, I've done a lot of stuff with Ria. Shouts to Ria for accepting the collab. She's always, yo, Laura. She's not too precious with her Instagram. Like, she has 7 million followers, but if the content's good, she's accept accepting the collab. I respect the hell out of it.

[A]

No, she's fire, though. I'm telling you. I just, I. When she walked out of the studio, I was like, man, I really like her. She's great. Like, we could be friends. That's how I felt. She's my new friend in my head.

[B]

Yeah, no, that's, that's the end. That is the energy that she gives. Like, just a super regular, down to earth person for someone who's such a huge star. So if you haven't seen it, make sure you go see it. And I gotta tell you, RAW was a lot of fun. I. I sat right next to our good buddy Lin Manuel Miranda last night at the. He was super into it as, as he always is, and I think for wwe. But Ego's now waiting on his content that he's gotten to upload, which means that you are stuck with just Laura, who looks and sounds great, and me, who I think sounds fine, but looks like an 8 bit video game from 1986. I look like Pong.

[A]

Laura, yo, the chat is cooking you. They're like, is this wi fi a potato?

[B]

Yo, listen, chat, chat. I. They turned off my files. This is me uploading from my phone. This is the best my personal hotspot will give me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And they're saying my mic is too loud. It's always something.

[A]

Yeah. I will say, look, it's just. You guys, remember, Rosenberg is moving, so he's in the middle of the move. He's trying to get it together and try to just, you know, that's dedication. He's like, he didn't want to call out. He's like, I'm going to be here with my family.

[B]

And now they said, you should have just taken the day off. If I just taken the day off, as of this very moment, Laura be sitting there by herself. Now, Ebro's not connected. This is what makes it a team effort.

[A]

We need people to talk to. So, you know, and then Ebro's trying to do the same thing.

[B]

Now, should we. Now here's the thing. I know Ebro. I know that he'll be reconnected in a second. I know he knows the story. So, Laura, do you want to, like, maybe just. Should we get started with this, this Charlie Kirk news that's coming down the pike right now? Because this is. I don't know if it's coming down the pipe or the pike. I've always been confused. But. But either way, do you want to just get us started with that story? I know Ebro can jump in when he gets on.

[A]

Sure.

[D]

What are we talking about?

[A]

So Ebro, we're talking about.

[B]

We just jump right to the chart. Kirk of it all. You, bro.

[D]

Oh, let's do it.

[A]

The new. There's the new news that came out. Ebro.

[D]

Yeah. So there's a couple of people I follow that have been following this Charlie Kirk thing, all the conspiracies from early. There's been a lot of talk about it. You know, Candace Owens has been on this story for some time, so she's being vindicated right now. And, you know, as much as people are out here mad at Drew Ski for how he's showing how conservative women are jumping out here with fireworks like it's a WWE convention right after Charlie Kirk got got killed. And the area where he got killed at the university was, like, immediately under construction a week after he was murdered. And so they weren't able to turn that into an investigative site. But which clip do you have over there, Laura Stiles? The one I just sent this morning?

[A]

Yes, we do have it. Rasan. All right, here we go.

[D]

All right, let's run. James Lee.

[E]

We got massive breaking news tonight. Tyler Robinson did not kill Charlie Kirk. This is from the Daily Mail. They say the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did not match the rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson. According to new court filings, quote, Robinson, 22, is facing capital murder charges. Charges and a potential death sentence for Kirk's murder at Utah Valley University on September 10th of last year. But his defense attorney now argued that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was unable to identify the bullet recovered at the autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson. Remember this gun right here that they told us was found in the woods? What gets even weirder now is that yesterday, the Washington County Sheriff, Nate Brooksby, who presided over Tyler Robinson's arrest, abruptly resigned following, quote, undisclosed complaints. The Salt Lake City Tribune says Brooksby's resignation comes after the county received complaints from individuals who are concerned with the operations at the sheriff's office. Quote, after the decision, the complainant asked the matter not be pursued further and were respecting their request. Which sounds a little bit like a cover up if you, if you ask me. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling online that Erica Kirk, Charlie's widow, was having an alleged affair with Andrew Colvitt, who is of course Charlie's old colleague at Turning Point usa, also the spokesperson at Turning Point usa. Absolutely wild developments. Follow me to stay updated.

[D]

Now, remember the, the young man they've accused of Charlie Kirk's murder, his parents have maintained this whole time that their son did not do this.

[A]

Yes, yes, I saw that. You know, Eber, at first when I saw this, when you sent it, I was a little like, you know, let me look into this a little bit more. The Daily Mail sometimes I'm like, let me just check. But TMZ also came out and said, listen, they've looked at official documents and they're saying that this is, this is exactly what's happening right now.

[D]

Yeah. The. Let's see here. According to tmz, Robinson's attorney claims the bureau of the. The ATF Explode and explosives unable to identify the bullet recovery at autopsy the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson. So that's, it seems, where the case is going. Wow.

[B]

Well, we're, we're obviously going to find out more when this actually, when the, when the trial unfolds further that this will, this is a very easy factual thing to be presented in court. Right. Like either the bullet's the right bullet or it's not. So.

[D]

Well, we're getting the, the, the accused, Robinson, his attorneys want this to be fully televised. The trial. That will be a circus and I'm here for it. You know why? Because Charlie Kirk was a circus. And you got, and, and, and you guys that claim you love him, claim you support him, all of you got. Everything has been a circus, including his memorial.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Like, why wouldn't this continue to be a circus? And those of you that actually believe he was some sort of righteous leader, how are you feeling right now? Because you have been, I believe after many of you are Trump supporters and have followed this whole thing down the toilet drain, you're gonna feel the same way when you find out the truth about all this Charlie Kirkness. Do you think train sewer.

[A]

Do you think they'll actually televise it?

[D]

I mean, I don't know. It's possible. I mean, they've done a. But they've done this. This whole political decade that we've been in has been nothing but shenanigans for TV and ratings.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Including the president of the United States. So why wouldn't they? Rosenberg, do you disagree?

[B]

No, I. I don't. And I'm just trying to think of what it could possibly be and what they're going to suggest. Like, I know right away you're gonna have the Candace Owens of the world. People are gonna go right to Israel. Who knows? I'm not saying that the Mossad is not a reasonable. Maybe there'll be someone who they is a reasonable suspect. But my guess is I know one thing they're gonna find out. It wasn't the left. It wasn't some transgender activist who wanted to take out Charlie Kirk. That's where this thing is gonna go. It was not what they thought it was. And what will they say for.

[A]

Yo.

[D]

I've totally forgot that they. They rallied around this whole chant transgender thing right after Charlie got murked.

[A]

Yes. Oh, yeah, the boogeyman.

[B]

The guy had a transgender girlfriend he lived with.

[D]

I totally forgot.

[B]

They went right. Within 10 minutes, it was like him and his transgender girlfriend were writing messages about it in their apartment. And like, when you really think about it, all the evidence they had were, like, supposed handwritten notes and the. And the little things written on the bullets. Wasn't that all we.

[D]

That's right.

[B]

None of that. We don't know if any of that is real. Like, there's no. You don't have to be that crazy a conspiracy theorist. Aren't you impressed, Chad? Look at me. It's not that deep a conspiracy theory to say I don't know that any of that's real.

[D]

Well, and now we're gonna find out. Was all of this evidence planted? Or maybe we'll never find out. The sheriff has stepped down, and then they're asking respect their privacy. He got. He got some complaints. So the guy. The guy who. Who was responsible in the county for this investigation, which I'm sure he's just a scapegoat, right? Because this was at the federal level, Char. Charlie Kirk was being honored at the White House. There's no way that some local county sheriff is to blame for all of this. No. No chance. Hit the. If you believe that, hit the button, bro.

[B]

Congratulations.

[D]

You played yourself. No way, bro. No way. Speaking of, since we're all off in the muck and meer of the current political climate of the. The United States of America. Laura, they are still on tlc, huh? And. And Chili's voting.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. And it's getting even worse. More stuff came out. I was going to. I was going to knock this out in the rundown. If y. I want to jump into it.

[D]

You want to get into the. You want to do this in the rundown?

[A]

I mean.

[D]

Yeah, let's do it. Laura got the run down.

[B]

Turn that up. Screens on Glow when she pull up headlines heavy.

[D]

But we still caught up.

[A]

So you guys saw that Chili was trending everywhere. It's been up for a couple of days. Yeah. You know, there was an independent report. Well, the independent reported that Chile had donated over a thousand dollars to Republican linked fundraisers and Trump re election in 2024. Right. There was also people pulled up that she had donated to Ted Cruz to his re election campaign. And then they pulled up her social media and they were saying all of the stuff that she's like, like, look that those are, as you can see on the screen, those are all. That's pretty much evidence that's her of all of her donations. Then Chile had re shared a Michelle Obama conspiracy. Basically. You know that BS that the right goes with calling her a transgender woman. And she claims that she reposted that by accident. She, you know, so that was her thing. And then she came out and, and she apologized, came out with a statement. She said it. And this is a statement right here of her explaining what happened.

[C]

Hey guys, I wanted to come on here to address a few things that's circulating on the Internet that's very concerning to me. Let me say this first, I have the utmost respect and admiration for Michelle Obama and I would never say or do anything, anything that is disrespectful to her or to any woman. I would never do that. And I had no clue that this repost had happened until I started getting phone calls and text messages from everybody. And I immediately went to my page to see what was going on. Now, mind you, I'm not very computer savvy, so I'm looking for this repost button and I see that all of them, all of these buttons are very, very close to each other. And clearly I was scrolling and my thumb hit the repost button again. I had no clue that something like this happened until I got all the calls. But of course, okay, that's a liar.

[A]

So yo.

[D]

And yo. I don't believe you. You need more people.

[A]

And then she went on this. She posted this graphic EO on her social media, basically saying that she's not maga. You know what I mean? Clearing everything up.

[D]

I need you to fast forward into this story. I can't do this with you, Laura. St.

[A]

Watch. This is an all Hip hop exclusive.

[D]

Yeah, you got. You guys are about to nominate the biggest jackass in the history of politics, straight up, period.

[A]

My group member voted for him.

[D]

Well, here's my thing is, I've been telling you guys that when you say Obama got two, that don't mean nothing anymore because the voters are as dumb as they've ever been.

[A]

Did you hear her?

[D]

She said yes. What show? First of all, shout out to AllHipHop.com and it's Chuck Creekmore and the family over there. Yes, Grouchy Greg. What? Do we know what audio what show that was from?

[A]

No, no, no, because it was just like a graphic, so I. I don't know where it's from.

[D]

Yeah, we don't know where that came from, but wow.

[A]

Yeah. So to me, I look at it like this. Ebro. Okay, let's just say it was an accident that you reposted it, right? To me, it's interesting because you have to engage with that type of content in order for it to come up on your feet.

[D]

I'll go.

[A]

Okay. Number two, you donated to several Trump and Republicans.

[D]

Add it up. Laura Stiles. Add it up.

[A]

So I just do not understand. And her excuse was like, hey, I donate to veterans because my dad was a veteran. But look, these are all these posts where she's liked and engaged. You know what I mean? So to me, I'm like, girl, please,

[D]

Chilli, hit the button, bro. And now you out here lying. You can't even stand, yo. That's your thing. Yo, Chili, if that's your thing, stand on it.

[A]

That's it.

[D]

Like Nick and Amber Rose, stand on it.

[A]

Yo. But the fact that T boss was like, my group member voted for him,

[D]

yo, stand on it. And I, I. Yo, I swear, I don't understand, man. I really don't understand it, man. I don't understand it, bro.

[A]

Listen, I've seen her post a lot of, you know.

[B]

You know what?

[A]

It has us all asking, but I don't. I don't. I don't either.

[B]

You know what? It has us all asking, guys?

[D]

What? Rosenberg.

[B]

What about your friends, Chili? What about your friends?

[A]

Why you out here voting for creep?

[D]

No, man.

[B]

Damn. There's some scrubs. Her friends are not. Are, in fact scrubs, folks.

[D]

Yo, facts, man.

[A]

It's so disappointing.

[D]

Fact. A scrub.

[B]

Oh, no.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

So disappointing. Skill kids. So, yeah, that's. That's where we're at. And also right now, the. The. Listen, let's see how this unfolds. But the Internet right now is digging up. They're coming after big boy from outkast.

[D]

But wait, what. What he do with him?

[A]

They're just kind of going through saying, like, look at all the, you know, he follows Donald Trump, Melania, the White House, and then, like, an account that said defeat Democrats. So they were like, what's going on here? But that's all.

[D]

Oh, okay. All right, all right. That's. That's more loose. That's more loose.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Nah, I want to see all of the face. All of the face needs to claim it. Where's Donnell Jones? Where's Goody Mob?

[D]

Oh, no. Organized noise.

[B]

Organized noise.

[D]

Oh, man. Society is. Saul.

[A]

Well, in other news, big congratulations to Brandy. She got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Listen, I know you guys are like. But I. It's amazing. Congratulations to her.

[D]

It's. It's this. Wait, you. You don't think we respect the Hollywood

[A]

Walk of Fame, bro, Every time I bring it up, Rosenberger or. You always be like, okay, okay, well, yeah, I do.

[B]

Always.

[D]

That's not true.

[B]

I mentioned. I always mentioned that you. You pay for your. You pay for your star on the Holly Walk of Fame. I always mention that. But it's still worthy.

[D]

Right, but you still have to invite it. Yes, Right. But you got to pay for the construction. They got to cement. They got, you know, stuff. You got to pay for cement.

[A]

And also, I don't know if you guys saw, but Kanye west, he's officially headlining a wireless three nights back to back, same night.

[D]

Well, they. The Internet tried to make it a thing that it happens to be the same nights that Jay Z is at Yankee Stadium. As if that means anything, bro.

[A]

It's in London.

[D]

Yeah, Like, I don't. You know, I don't think it means anything. Just happens to be the same weekend.

[A]

Right, right.

[D]

But look, but I guess for some fans who have to choose you know, I don't know who was, but there's probably maybe a small percentage of people who are like, you know, maybe I was going to go to Yankee Stadium.

[B]

Wait, are you saying we should be concerned about the super elite?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Prince Williams, who are like, should I go to the show at wireless, or should I jump on the jet and go see the show?

[D]

I'm not concerned about them because they'll just fly back and forth.

[B]

They're good.

[D]

They're going to make the private jet that joint. Matter of fact, wireless technically happens earlier than. So you can hit wireless, jump on the jet, maybe even still make Yankee Stadium.

[B]

There you go. Knock yourself out.

[D]

Now here's the plot twist is Kanye is going to do the same show three nights. Hov's doing three different shows.

[B]

Hello.

[D]

So you could still, you know, make a con, catch Kanye and then fly back and catch Jake if you got money like that. If you live.

[B]

Hello?

[D]

No.

[A]

What is the third night of Jay's Yankee Stadium situation? Because I know we have reasonable doubt. We have blueprint. What was the third one?

[D]

Extra innings.

[B]

Okay, Laura, Laura, listen. You don't know what happened. They had no idea they were gonna do that. They were shocked by the. By the public's excitement, and they made it up. So we don't know what they're going to do. But if I were to guess, I would say it'll be a mere. It'll be a mix of the rest of everything that, like, if you just want the night of hits, like the straight up night of hits, that's what I think extra innings will be. Now, Ebro, they could go the other way and make. And make the extra innings joint. Like B side soundtracks, remixes. They could. They could go that way too, I guess. But I. They'll probably go hits.

[D]

He's done B sides before. It could happen. I mean, that's. That's your zone. You know what I'm saying? You'll. You'll be hyped for obscurity and joints that mass.

[B]

I went to the B side show. The B side show was a banger.

[D]

The true fan. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah, man.

[B]

I'm still leaning, but, guys, we're not eo. You're not doing all three, are you?

[D]

I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know. I don't even know if I'm getting in. That's what I'm. I'm working on getting in right now, guys.

[B]

Okay, first step, get in.

[D]

Second, get in. And then if I can get In. Then I. Listen, give me a ticket anywhere. Then I'm gonna find. I'll find somebody from ROC Nation, get me a wristband. If I could find Emory Jones, I can get another wristband. Then if I band, then I can get into vip, then I can find somebody, and I could get extra.

[B]

All right, so. So. And I'm gonna be waiting.

[D]

Which.

[B]

Which entrance do you want me at? 151. Which.

[D]

Which one? No, what's the one by the parking garage?

[B]

Okay, I think that's a 151st Street. You want me outside? Just wait.

[D]

You wait right there. I'm gonna put the wristband on kind of loose. Okay, Slide it off and give it to you. And slide in. Laura, you know how you get down, baby.

[B]

We got this. They're gonna be like. They're gonna be like, oh, man. Rosenberg, you good? Like, oh, yeah, no, I'm good. Ebro's coming back. All right, man. Yeah, if you got any problems, let me know. Can y' all let me in? Nope. But we'll be waiting. Hopefully you get in.

[D]

Listen, man, you know, it's a journey, man. It's a journey. And look, and now we don't. Now, now things are tougher. You know what I'm saying? We're just elr. We don't. We don't even have the. The. The. The co. Sign of. The. Of the heritage logo. You know what I'm saying? We're just. We're. We're not traditional media anymore. We're just some people on YouTube. So it's a lot different.

[A]

Hey, don't.

[B]

That is true. They may act different out here.

[D]

No, Laura, I'm telling you, people are acting different. I know you haven't experienced people acting different.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Yo, somebody. Yo, somebody I've known for 30 years. The other day, I was talking to them about some artists they work with and me wanting them on this show.

[A]

Uhhuh.

[D]

And they were like, yeah, send me. Send me some details about the show. Nah, we gotta. We got. Now we gotta send out a press kit.

[B]

Nah, bro.

[D]

That's where we're at now.

[B]

It's underrated. People get weird, man. And Ebro made a great point yesterday. I, I. I hit. I hit you guys up to be like, yo, how cool is Ria? She immediately hits the Collab. She got 7 million followers. All good. I got you. These artists that we've known for years, you try to collab them on something, they act like they're Instagrams. So damn precious. They can't accept a collab To. To promote. That's what the trade off is here. And Ebro, you made the point, yo. Rappers may be among the weird. Get the weirdest of people. I don't know why people get so weird, but they do.

[D]

No, rappers are weirdos, bro. And let me. And, and, and let me tell you like this. We just saw a phenomenal verses with two love songs singing greasy chess, you know, flowy silk shirt dudes talking so crazy to each other for the sake of entertainment. Rappers could never get in that bag, bro. That's how sensitive they are. Rapper. Think about two rappers doing verses. Maybe, maybe, maybe Joe and Ja Rule kind of got to that zone, Dipset. And the locks got to that zone.

[B]

No, they did. They got there.

[D]

They got to that zone. Yeah, but it's rare. It's rare.

[B]

Yeah. Most people, they're so sensitive that the idea of a battle means you might have to punch someone in the face because you're. That your ego is that fragile.

[D]

That's right. That's right.

[A]

Well, just know whoever comes on the show is like people who genuinely support us. So it is what it is. We'll just show love to the people who support.

[D]

Nah, people, Laura. People. People gonna come. People gonna come. I. I don't know that. I guess they. I guess they think I'm doing some, you know, ragtag, you know, show that, you know, none of us have credentials, but, well, listen, we will get our credentials over time. We will earn it. And, and our numbers will speak for themselves. Right now. We have phenomenal numbers. We'll get into those numbers after you wrap the rundown. Laura Styles.

[A]

Right? They will shout out to the El Army. It's all about you.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. That's the end of the rundown, guys.

[D]

Oh, that's it. Sorry. Oh, intro for the outro. You know how we do it. We still. You know what I mean? Now, speaking of the El Army, Rosenberg, do you have the super chat today or do.

[B]

Do you have chat? I do. Shout to Jonah. Shouts to Celx23y girl came through with Rosenberg showing us you can stream off of a ton. Let's see. Marielle. Marielness says, love you guys. I'm so glad you have this platform. Keep doing what you do. Maybe now you guys give Candace Owens a chance. So far, her theory is not wrong. And everyone said she was crazy. She was his friend from the jump. I think we're good on that, but we hear what you're saying.

[A]

Yeah. So good on that.

[D]

Remind me to come back to that note. Remind me to come back to that tidbit right there.

[B]

Well, there's only one other one. Storytellers Only nyc. What up? That's our super chat. And a lot of great people just in the chat in general. Clockwork Mellow Irene is that guy. Danielle Walker, who wants us to talk more about the Drew Ski. We're going to get to that. Renice Taylor, who's laughing at the toaster line, by the way.

[D]

I know we.

[B]

I didn't prepare you for this, Bascom, but next time my video is this bad, could we just throw up the picture of me and when I talk, use my audio and just show the picture because I look like I am streaming to y' all from a different time. Like it was. I'm on ao. I'm on copy.

[D]

You're on dial up. You're on dial up.

[B]

This is crazy.

[D]

You're straight. You're streaming from a fax machine right now.

[B]

I'm running straight off the AOL CD ROM that came in the mail. I got the new mail. 500 hours, guys.

[A]

Hilarious.

[D]

So the reason I want to address the Candace Owens thing, because I want to. I want to bundle that with Tucker Carlson. The. This is what is known as controlled opposition. And these are. This is the. The reason Candace and Tucker Carlson have made these pivots is because they're planning for the future of the Conservative Party. Now, they may say some things that I agree with, that you agree with. They may be. You might start to see them and be like, wow, they've really started to awaken. This is a psyop. This is how the elites plan for the future, because they prepare their own competition, they prepare their own opposition. So while Candace Owens might have been on the right side here with Charlie Kirk, and she might be doing. Saying some of the. The right things when it comes to the government of Israel, make no mistake, these people are the same as they've always been. Yes, they are. First of all, they are anti working class, in my opinion. They are definitely anti black. They're bigots, racists. And they were okay aligning with those ideals off the rip.

[A]

Absolutely.

[D]

So no matter what pivots they make, racism wasn't enough for them. Why you guys think when I. When even when it comes to, like, a Kanye West, I still got the side eye, bro. Like, I'm gonna check out the album, yo, bro. You know what I'm saying?

[A]

I have people who send me, like, Marjorie Taylor Greene clips, and I'm like, all right, yeah, I might agree with her here. She's still A racist, guys. Like, why would I ever. All of a sudden, I'm gonna embrace her? Hell no. Do you know. Do you know what this woman stands for? Like, come on.

[D]

Well, not only that, Lord Styles, I need to see some real working and over a period of time, and I'm gonna use the Kanye west as an example again. Kanye west, one of the biggest names in hip hop history. He's putting out a new album. As a part of my job and the things I do for a living, it's my job to see this guy who's attempting to find some footing and rebrand or get back to his essence. I'm gonna be there to support a little bit. But make no mistake, I'm not acting like it's all fixed up.

[A]

Right. Right.

[D]

You know what I'm saying? And that's just in the hip hop space, in the political space. I. I really don't have any. Any reason to just support someone.

[A]

Yeah, I. That's how I feel. I still don't believe it. I'm just watching it. Let's see. Let's see what happens.

[D]

How about. How about. Let's watch this. Mom Donnie and Curtis Sliwa in a single skit. Laura Styles.

[B]

Did you see this, bro?

[A]

I. When I tell you, I had to, like. I'm like, wait, am I looking? Is this real?

[D]

So. So, Curtis Sliwa, even when Mom Donnie got elected, they started to, like, get cool. Like, and even before Mom Donnie won, they started to get cool. Which tells me something about Curtis Lel, which is, A, he's really just for fairness and working people. B, he really loves New York City and. And. And is going to support somebody who thinks he's going to do well by New York City. But this type of chumming up, I did not expect. Watch this. My name is Dr. Curtis Cleow.

[B]

Dr. Cleveland, you say?

[D]

Yeah, Dr. Cleveland, I'm looking at your name here on the chart. I don't even want to try to pronounce it.

[E]

Hey, is it okay if I just

[D]

call you the Z Man?

[A]

Yeah, that's fine.

[B]

You look very familiar, though.

[D]

Were you ever riding the trains in the wee hours of the morning from, like, 1980 to 1991?

[B]

I wasn't.

[A]

How do you say this?

[B]

Dr. Klewa alive.

[D]

Okay, young duck. So you're here for a cat allergy shot on.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[D]

My wife and I are adopting a cat. It never stops with one or two. Oh, no, it doesn't. Wow.

[A]

I. Yeah, I was very surprised. I saw that. Pleasant, pleasant surprise.

[D]

Very pleasant. Yo, My now Laura Styles, everything that you're seeing about mom Donnie, would you at this. I haven't seen somebody this popular and this transparent and delivering on a lot of their promises in the first three months. As Mom Donnie, have you ever seen momentum like this?

[A]

No, I have not. Just clear messaging, you know what I mean? To the point now. I do, Ebro. I do get messages from some of our listeners who still are very skeptical of him. They're just kind of like, I don't know, none of his policies align with how I feel. I think he's a scam. There's no way he's going to get all of this done. And I'm like, first of all, he just got in. Look how much he's done in the few months he's been in office. And all you have to do is follow him and follow the news to see everything that he's been putting forward. Like, I have never seen a mayor just jump in and directly go, you know, go to hold these slumlords accountable. To me, that's the biggest thing because that's the number one thing that's been affecting like regular, everyday, hardworking New Yorkers. How many times, Ibrah, have we heard of people who've had. Are living in a slumlord apartment? I lived in one for a long time while I was coming up. And people who's, you know, grandmas and elderly folks are just being exploited like mold and the grossest living conditions where you're like, this cannot be real. And he is actually showing up and attacking it.

[D]

One reports came out a week or so ago about the millions of dollars that Mamdani has returned to fast food workers and workers in general across New York City by holding corporations accountable for some of their bad workforce practices.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And so people, people are, are pointing to that now, Rosenberg, I asked you, have you, I'll ask you, have you ever seen a politician get this in New York City, get this much momentum out of the gate like this?

[B]

Well, I will say I don't know that I've ever seen someone who I can so easily see the things they're trying to do. You know, like Adam, certainly, I felt nothing. De Blasio, you know, we always liked his ideas. You couldn't really feel the implementation of it. The yes short answer is it seems like he's really getting after it. He's also really good at showing us what he's doing though, better than anyone else's.

[D]

But I think that's. That's the piece, right?

[B]

Yeah, it's a huge piece. I just don't, I can't say I know what everybody else was doing. I'm just saying with him, I do. So he's doing a great job showing you what he's doing. You know what I'm saying?

[D]

But he's also controlling the narrative. Remember we used to scream at de Blasio when we would have him on about that, like, bro, they're kicking your ass in the media, bro, like they are kicking your ass in the newspaper. The, the, the, the conservatives, the police union, they are on your head top. There's no way from this momentum that I see from mom, Donnie that people who are trying to create a narrative against them are going to have an easy way to go.

[D]

He's got social media on smash.

[B]

Yeah, no, he's, he's, he's, he's the man, bro. The only thing he needs to do is come up and do our show. I heard from our guy yesterday again, who was like, I'm nudging them again on this. I saw him, he had time to go, you know, sit down with Bronson and have a whole f. That's delicious meal.

[D]

They're from New York.

[B]

They're from Queens. Just want a little chat. But not.

[D]

It's working against us now. And you, you just keep, you poured gas on the narrative, you know what I'm saying? Not being from New York, now he's like, I mean, how. And, and now we got to send out our press kit to prove we even exist.

[B]

That's right.

[D]

You know what I'm saying? So now we got to send out a press kit. We're not from New York. Like, and, and, and, and we're stuck with that narrative and I'm stuck with y'. All.

[B]

Damn.

[D]

I could have duck and dodged it a little bit, you know what I'm saying?

[B]

Yeah. You at least wear a Yankee hat,

[D]

you know, from time to time. Yeah, you know, you can't catch me on the Avenues, yo. Catch me in Brooklyn.

[B]

The El army really should be tweeting at him and commenting for him to come on the show. That probably, he probably will see that.

[D]

Well, and here's the thing, guys. Even if he doesn't come on the show, we're going to grade him fairly, like, that's right.

[B]

Not me.

[D]

Well, Rosenberg will take it personal because, you know, check out the podcast validate me coming soon. And Laura and I will be paying attention to whether or not, you know, he's actual Lee, keeping his prom class people and families and kids getting after care and these things. Also, big, big note this weekend to pay attention to. Bernie Sanders is going to be in the Bronx. They are having a very loud rally to go at Kathy Hokel over this budget and taxing the rich to figure out how to fill this budget gap, which has been a big headline for mom Donnie. And while they have found millions and millions of dollars, I don't think it's added up all the way to the billions that they needed to find to make sure this budget was in order. So I think this is the last chance ditch. Now, I told you guys, some weeks ago, the opposition, the. The. What is it the vice governor. Is that the. Is that what? The lieutenant governor, Excuse me, the lieutenant governor, Antonio Delgado, was going to run against Kathy Hochul, and he's more aligned with taxing the rich. But once mom Donnie and Hokul created their, you know, their bond and connected over funding child care and these things, he didn't feel like he had a path to victory against Hokul, so he stepped out of the race. So now Hokul doesn't have any opposition when it comes time to vote. So why is she gonna tax the rich? Who's gonna force her to actually make a move here?

[A]

I know,

[D]

and that's problematic. Super problematic. But we'll watch it unfold. And I'm going to be adding some content to our channel here at elr, getting back in my, you know, political interview bag, you know, interviewing activists, politicians, and people on the local New York City scene. So I'm gonna be lining some of those things up, especially as we get close to the midterms so that we still.

[B]

Like from New York, bro.

[D]

No, definitely not.

[A]

But he's interviewing people who are from New York and making decisions in New York.

[D]

But I'm gonna find people who are from New York doing work in New York to try to help people make decisions in and around New York. You know who also reached back out to us? Who? Mikey. Cheryl, the governor of New Jersey wants to come back on the show.

[A]

Oh, let's go.

[B]

Oh, nice.

[D]

So she wants to give us an update on the work she's doing in New Jersey So that's not bad. That's pretty good.

[B]

Not. Not bad. Ebro, could you. Can you tell me anything about Mom? Donnie's wanting to slash the state estate tax exemption threshold. Hear about that? From like 7 million to 750,000.

[D]

Yeah. He wants to tax the rich.

[A]

I need some more clarity on. On that, Rosenberg.

[B]

Yeah, because, Laura, they. He wants to knock it down. It was seven and a half million dollars. He wants to knock it down to $750,000 so your parents could own a. A little. A little estate tax.

[D]

Estate, yeah. Last week we covered this. Last week on the show, Shout to mentally divine official got us off in the weeds on that. So that's what I don't. Rosenberg, you might have blanked out. Listen, sometimes. Look, Rosenberg, when we share stuff just like the regular watching audience, things get so off in the weeds that when it gets into the nuts and bolts, people miss things. But yes, ultimately there is an estate tax that he wants to change, but there's some nuances to how it'll actually apply. I don't think it's actually going to end up applying to people who just happen to own a brownstone.

[B]

But let's see, right, they're saying the number would be from 7.5 million to 750,000. That's the marketing.

[A]

And I know plenty of people who.

[B]

750,000 in New York is not an expensive property, Laura.

[A]

No, no, no, Listen, I know a lot of people who own brownstones, right? But that their parents bought them in like the 70s when they were like junk, and they completely renovated them, and now those brownstones are worth like 2, 3 million dollars, but they're living check to check. So that's all they have right, in the family. The one thing they have, their wealth, you know what I mean?

[B]

One thing they have is the brownstone is that one house. And if, you know, someone passes, I think they would tax it 50 or something like that.

[D]

It's.

[B]

It's. It's an interesting one. I'd love to hear him explain.

[A]

Me too. Me too. I just want to hear.

[D]

Let's have him up. Let's definitely have him up to explain it.

[A]

Yeah, I definitely reach team for that.

[D]

But. But one of the things that people need to pay attention to in that tax is there is a. It's a graduated estate tax in the actual proposal. So what that means is 0 to 500, 000 is like a 3 to 5%. 500, 000 to a million is 5% to 6.5%. 1 million to 5 million is 6.5% to 10%. 5 million to 10 million is 10 to 13% and over 10 million is 13 to 16. The New York Department of Taxation and Finance explains that our state has a graduated estate tax system. Simply explain that means the estate tax rises for those with greater assets. Remember, only estates that exceed the statewide estate tax threshold have any estate tax liability. So you should talk to your accountant about this and see what it actually is.

[B]

See if they can explain it, make it make sense.

[D]

Right. Well, and if that didn't make sense to you, it would mean that if you're, if basically, if you have anything below $5 million, your tax would be less than 8% on, on that asset. And by the way, that tax is on the gain, not the not. So if you have a, if you have a property that you bought for a million dollars and now it's worth $2 million, you're only paying on the million that you gained, not the total two.

[B]

So these are all things we have to.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. It's tough when it comes to this stuff because a headline on the COVID of the New York Post may not do it for you.

[A]

Right, right, right. And you know, the right is running with any chance they get to like, be like, he is coming for the middle class. You guys are going to regret your votes.

[D]

Well, but how about this, guys? If we want to fix some of these problems, we're gonna have to pay some more taxes. All of these tax things hit my tax bracket, all of them. And you haven't heard me one time have a problem with any of them.

[B]

Well, not everybody in the tax bracket is in the same situation. You know what I'm saying? Some people are in situation.

[D]

No, I understand, but I'm just saying that it's, it's, it's a reality. That is how it works. That.

[B]

No, the truth is that is literally by definition what being a progressive is, is being okay giving up your dough. That's how it works.

[D]

By the, in this, in this country, some of the wealthiest were getting taxed 90% over certain thresholds in this country's history. That's how we built wealth in this country. That's how the. What middle class was built in this country. It wasn't by people scapegoating their tax, their tax liabilities. It just wasn't. And, and, and this narrative around taxes has shaped so many people for so many generations to believe there's a way to get out of paying taxes. But we're still going to be able to curb crime and we're still going to be able to have an education system that's valuable, and we're still going to be able to have all these nice things. It just doesn't work like that. And how about this? The more you corporatize things, the more they end up falling apart. So which one is it? Are you going to keep corporatizing and privatizing things, or are you going to try to create systems and people that you can actually hold accountable? Because you can't hold corporations accountable. And that's clear. Politicians are actually someone that we could vote out if we stay locked in and paying attention. What's up to my niece Maya on the stream. How you doing, Maya? How you enjoying this move?

[A]

The chat is hype about Maya.

[B]

Well, Maya's unfortunately a blur. She's. She's just a blur. And now the movers are at my door. So, guys, proceed as you will, please.

[A]

Okay?

[D]

Okay, Got it. You scout. You scheduled this? Good day. Great. Rosenberg, good scheduling.

[B]

We're gonna have to revisit this in the annals of history. This whole situation, one of the great congrats we've ever seen.

[D]

Well, it's all. It's. It's all on you, by the way. It all falls down.

[A]

Oh, my God, the great congrats.

[D]

I know, I know.

[A]

Jeez.

[D]

Yo, Laura. How upset do you think he is, really?

[A]

I. I. Listen, I think he's doing a great job of controlling himself because he knows.

[D]

Okay?

[A]

I mean, listen, when I talk to him, when he called, when. When we talk, I could hear it in his voice. He's so frustrated.

[D]

Well, he only has himself to blame.

[A]

I know, I know, I know. But you know what I told him? Ebro, you're here now. Just push through. Just do what you got to do. Don't overthink it. Because it's. You can say, I could have, should have, would have, but it doesn't. It's not going to change anything.

[D]

Well, I think. Listen, when he comes back on. When he comes back on, I think what we need to remind you now. Oh, there you are. I think what we need to remind him is when we look at the decisions that were made in this moving process, and a lot of decisions that have been made in his life, they are tied to emotions, not always logic. And I think when you make emotional decisions, especially when it comes to, you know, things that just require planning, logic, and a steady hand, emotion just doesn't. It doesn't really have a place. And that's where most people stumble, is

[B]

because you're by the way, you are not wrong. I apologize. My mic got disconnected. I'm not gonna reconnect it right now. You're not wrong. The decision to originally move was made on some. If we do this, you know, I did it to almost show that I was willing to do it. And yes, there was things I saw in this apartment that I thought were a good idea, but my looking past the negatives, that was based in emotion. And it was very expensive and emotionally and phys and actually financially expensive for us.

[D]

So.

[B]

Yeah, you live and learn, bro. You live and learn.

[A]

That's it, Pete. Pushing, bro. That's it.

[B]

Or I'm a fool. Hit me the button.

[D]

Well, well. And on. The only thing I'll add, the only thing I'll add is if you're out here and you're gonna make financial decisions with emotion, just tell yourself, if I lose, I'm gonna take the L. That's it.

[A]

That's it.

[D]

And that's what? That's all you can do and all you can.

[B]

Yeah, and, and, and you know, listen, I'm, I'm fortunate that me working as, as everyone knows, it's well documented. I work 93 jobs and it's enough to not be rich, but to be able. Excuse me, but I do have enough money to be able to make a mistake. And like I can make the mistake and bounce back. Not everybody has that situation. I'm grateful for it. Who knows? Life changes. Maybe at a different point in my life, I wouldn't be okay to make a mistake.

[D]

Well, I'll tell you this, the day after we had one of the biggest WWE stars right now in the world and we got all this promo and now people are tuning into this program and I'm on the road working for Apple and you're broadcasting from a boxed up kitchen. Hit us with the button. No, no, no. People ain't coming back to this show after anybody. I will tell you this, anybody knew that popped in and was like Rhea came by this show.

[A]

Listen, people appreciate that even though life is life and you guys are on the road, that you still took time to get on and deliver for the people. So look at it like that.

[D]

Well, we, listen, we are financially obligated to the El army me, I mean, I, I, I want to apologize in advance to the Patreon this week. Y' all getting clipped by like 10 minutes. I'mma just let y' all know. Yeah, we're the way. The schedule is lining up. This Patreon is going to be a little short.

[A]

We'll make it up, though. We'll always make it up.

[B]

Yeah, no, we're gonna. We're gonna make it up, though. Let's make it up to him. We'll hit them up with something else.

[D]

Well, yeah, because now. Now Laura's gotta allow Juanito on the show to make it up for what? Yo, let's get to the gurus.

[B]

By the way, Ebro. Yo, by the way, I'll let you finish.

[D]

All right. You know, you are a beautiful queen. Hang on, hang on, hang on.

[A]

Okay,

[D]

what are you gonna say, Rosenberg?

[B]

All right, Ebert, now I'm gonna let you finish. All right. I say this respectfully. Yeah, I think you might agree with me. Fantastic. In the. In the middle seat, though. She does look fabulous today.

[D]

Oh, absolutely beautiful.

[A]

Thank you, guys.

[B]

The angle suits you. This is a lovely look, Laura. It's dominant.

[A]

Thank you. Thank you,

[D]

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

[B]

Ah.

[A]

Breathe in, breathe out. The original gurus. Gmail.com theoriginal gurus gmail.com people ask us, I need advice. I need help. Where. Where do I go? Email us the original gurus gmail.com Ebro, burn the sage on the. All right. Hey, I know you're moving, and I know there's a lot of boxes, but I know that you still took time to go through the emails and to see who needs us. Who needs us the most.

[D]

He's looking like he hasn't gone through the emails, and maybe there was a text message that was sent where you were.

[B]

No, I know. I went through the emails. I. It was my wife walking in and going, are you done? As she can hear Laura setting up the guru. She's looking at me like it's not 8:57. She knows what time me this. But no, babe, I still have to finish the gurus. Okay? They know. They know.

[D]

If we don't get this show off the ground.

[B]

Baskin, keep the shot on Laura, for God's sake. No one needs to see my blurry ass when I read the email. Here we go. Hey, gurus, I need your help settling something that's weighing on me for a long time. And I'm genuinely starting to question whether I'm the one being unreasonable. I've been in a happy, loving relationship for six years. We're great together, truly. But for the last three years, since we moved in together, I have been the only one keeping this household afloat financially. Every bill, every month alone, my partner has worked on and off during this time, but has never once contributed to the household expenses. I bring home a decent salary, so I've managed. But managing doesn't mean I'm not drowning. I've tried to have this conversation before, and every single time, he just doesn't seem to get it. He doesn't understand why I feel the way I feel, and somehow I end up feeling like I'm asking for too much. Here's the good news. He recently started working again. So now I finally feel like I have an opening for to bring this up. But I'm nervous. I don't want to damage what we have, but I also can't keep carrying everything. So my questions to the gurus are, one, am I out of line for asking my partner to contribute to the bills now that he's working? Two, how do I have this conversation without turning into an argument? And three, honestly, am I bugging? Or is it fair to say that nobody lives anywhere for free? I love him, but I need a partner, not a roommate I'm sponsoring. Please help Eyvette.

[A]

Oh, Yvette, no, you're not bugging. You're not bugging at all. If you're in a relationship, you should be able to communicate. And you. It's a partnership. Your partner should be able to hold you down. You should be able to say, hey, I'm drowning. I need help. How can. How. How can we find a solution to this? You shouldn't be scared to talk to him about it. I think that's crazy.

[D]

Yvette. This fear that you have of talking to him is how you ended up in this situation in of front, first place.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

Like, what are you doing? Like, he never paid. How'd you even. How did y' all even get together? Like, what. How did this start?

[B]

I need a question.

[D]

I got question. Like, how did you think about how you got here? And honestly, he don't even owe you no money. If you was good this whole time. If I'm him, I'm like, yo, this the arrangement we been had. What are you talking about?

[A]

This sucks. I just feel like you need to be able to communicate and tell them how you feel. I'm like, at no point did it come. It should come out of him. Like, I want to help. I want to contribute.

[D]

But he never has, though, Laura.

[A]

That's what I'm saying. That's the problem. Yeah. And you allowed that to happen?

[D]

This person? No, this is you.

[A]

Yeah. You got to make it.

[D]

And if you're unhappy and turned off, get out of this relationship. You played yourself.

[B]

But how does this guy. He's not gonna bring it up now himself like, yo, I got a job. Great news. Let me start. He's gonna say anything. He's just gonna put the money in his piggy bank and keep it moving by himself. Maybe go out, buy some baseball cards.

[D]

By the way, there's people like this, bro. Women and men.

[A]

Yes, both.

[D]

Yo, I know people. I know people who. Their partner has started making money and contributes zero to the house.

[A]

That's crazy.

[D]

Zero. I know people.

[B]

They just put it in their own account.

[D]

Yes. I know people who. Their finances, pay all the bills, and their partner has their own account. They have access to the. To the main account to get money and whatever they want. But they've started wives who have started their own accounts and the husband doesn't know. Doesn't have access to their finances, but continues to pay all the bills. I know people like that.

[A]

I mean, listen, I don't think there's anything wrong with having a bank account. I want to tell you guys something. I feel like you should.

[D]

No, no, no, Laura, Laura, no. Imagine we're in a relationship and I'm. I'm floating all the bills.

[A]

No, I hear you, okay? I hear you.

[D]

You go out, you. You have access to all my finances. You go out, get a job, start your own bank account. I don't have access to any of your finances.

[A]

That's crazy.

[D]

But you still have access to all of mine.

[A]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[D]

And. And when. And when we talk.

[B]

And now you have your own account.

[D]

And now you have your own account.

[A]

That's crazy. No, no, no.

[B]

And for the record, if that. In those situations, if the person who had. Thank you for the guru picture. I like that. It might be offensive. I'm not sure. But anyways, here's the thing. Should you get divorced if you're the primary breadwinner, in addition to the fact that you were the one footing all the bills and she saved all the money for herself, she's still gonna take half of your stuff.

[D]

That's right.

[A]

Nah, bro.

[B]

So this is no to this lady. This is not reasonable. You guys need to have a real moment and talk. Listen, if he doesn't make what you make, then he can't. Can contribute what you can contribute. Okay? But you work out what's there and want to do right by you.

[D]

And if he shouldn't, it may be

[B]

a sign of a bigger problem.

[D]

At least take care of, you know,

[A]

the cables, take care of the. The.

[D]

The.

[C]

Your Water.

[A]

But whatever. Whatever you can do.

[D]

I'm sure he has. I'm sure he has his own bills, though. Like, who's paying his cell phone?

[A]

You know what we don't.

[D]

His car insurance. Right. Who's paying these things? Right? Is he paying these things? And that's where all of his money goes, to his things? Yeah, because. Damn it, I'll put a lock on the fridge. Play with me. And I'll be like, look, I bought all this food in this fridge. There's a lot going on this joint. A lock.

[A]

Like, do you remember those old school. The other old school rotary phones where they used to put a lock on them so you couldn't use them?

[D]

Yeah. Yo, man, listen, bro, it gets nasty. Nasty, bro. It gets nasty. I'm just so blessed to have the family I have. It hasn't gotten nasty, but, man, one day y' all might hear about it on the show.

[A]

No, don't ever say that. Don't say that. Don't say that. Don't say no.

[D]

You never know. People act funny. Issa might get old, ESA might get older, start acting funny. Selassie might grow up, start acting funny. Now you just can't eat. Now there's a lock, the lock on the fridge. Use acting funny.

[A]

That's funny. But, yeah, I think we all agree. Listen, this doesn't sound like an ideal situation. I don't think what you're asking for is crazy. But you put yourself in this situation. Now you got to get yourself out. If he doesn't want to step up and help you in any kind of way, he's a loser, plain and simple. So think about it. But I don't think this relationship is for you. I have a lighter and I say burn it down. So say the gurus.

[D]

Ah, what hit the bomb in the outro. Whoa. I didn't know then low Laura would burn it down over some money.

[B]

I didn't know it was gonna end in a burn down. I thought it was gonna be have a conversation.

[D]

Laura's beyond the combo on this crazy tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, I'll still be on the road in LA manana. I don't know if we'll have Rosenberg tomorrow. It doesn't look promising right now. But Laura and I will be here to try.

[B]

I think I should be okay. I think. I don't know.

[D]

He doesn't know.

[A]

He don't know.

[D]

But we'll get this thing back on the rails for Thursday and Friday, I hope. And then we appreciate all of you and your. Your support in the super chat. Please hype and like and share and all the things that get the al Algo popping. There's a lot we didn't get to today from Ebro's Algo, which I got some. Yo, I got some heat off Ebro's Algo this week. Yo, Maya, I love you. You love Ebro's Algo too, don't you?

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. She sees it when Peter's opening up his phone.

[D]

Yay, kid.

[A]

Thank you, guys. Hit that, like, button.

[D]

See you in la Mana. Don't call it a pod. Tomorrow we do it again.
