•Feb 5, 20264 months agoSummary
The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show discusses Shaboozey's Grammy speech controversy, the Epstein files' implications for public figures including Bill Gates and Brett Ratner, media layoffs at the Washington Post, and broader themes of accountability, immigration, and systemic corruption in America.
Insights
- Public figures face immediate social media accountability for statements perceived as incomplete or insensitive, even when intentions are positive, creating a tension between grace and accountability
- Wealthy individuals and corporations use media ownership as a tool for narrative control and political influence rather than as a sustainable business venture
- The Epstein files reveal systemic patterns of powerful individuals' connections to trafficking and exploitation, with selective prosecution focusing on lower-level participants
- Media consolidation by billionaires prioritizes personal political goals over journalistic integrity and employee welfare
- Immigration and Black American contributions to national development remain contested narratives in contemporary political discourse
Trends
Social media-driven accountability culture creating pressure on public figures to issue clarifications or apologies within 24-48 hoursBillionaire ownership of legacy media outlets resulting in cost-cutting, staff reduction, and editorial shifts aligned with owner interestsIncreased public skepticism toward official narratives regarding high-profile criminal cases and government institutionsGrowing conversation around systemic erasure of Black American historical contributions in educational and cultural institutionsCelebrity family financial disputes becoming public relations crises through social media exposureSports entertainment and niche sporting events gaining sponsorship and legitimacy through professional production and brandingConspiracy theory discourse becoming mainstream in casual conversation among media personalities and audiencesImmigration policy becoming a proxy for broader cultural and political tensions in American society

Just don't call it a pie, damn. Hey. Oh, hey. Oh, hey. Good morning, everyone. It's Ibrola Rosa Barxard with Tarty. I don't know what that was. We got to count down the dinner. No, it's dinner. It's this one day that my biggest goal for this show is that when the countdown ends to show us. I wonder what that is. Yo, it's the three, two, one. At a weight. At a weight. I'm not going to pause in the body. So I'm not going to tell you guys that it's what science for. I'm not going to do that. Oh, my god. I'm not going to I'm not going to wonder why it's happening. And there's been no communication about it. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to do it. I'm going to take the rest of it. Overall, I'm going to start pitching again next week. See, but this is the problem I have. I have this is the problem I have with life. People like you who settle. That's why there's do do so much do to want your block right now. That attitude is why there's so much do to want your block. Overall, it's good. No, it's not. The do to stuck to the ice after a few days of people's dog do to stick in the ice in New York. Now it just looks like there's do to mark all over the sidewalk. It's not OK. It's so nasty. And so people don't really want to take things serious. You got do to want your block. Do to your block. Do to on your block. No, I thought that this was ebros beat. I'm going to be chill through the weekend. How do we get? Well, because yeah, it's good overall. It's not good enough. Well, no, but sometimes I'm just saying that to wrap up the conversations so I can keep you on the try to keep you on the rails. But I miss that. No, you know, no, you know, that's going to you step right in the ish. Right in the new tonight. I will say it's it is outside. It is nuts that people in New York right now have just full on giving up like in mind and neighborhood up here on the West Side. It is just snow and piles of ish everywhere. Hell so disgusting. Like you have a big dog. I'm not talking about you had a maltese or a shitsu. I'm talking about you walked outside with a damn rock wiler or a German shepherd and just let that joint drop. Oh, man on the side. Oh, man. Yo, jail jail. Yeah, I'm right in jail. You're in jail over. Do do from our dog in 2026. You're I can't even fathom putting somebody in jail over that. All right, not jail, but like a ticket. A good one. You're fine. Find how about that? How about good to 50? Because people get too comfortable to lose leaving dookie everywhere. It's just a shame. We're from jail to 250, which tells me I've never been in jail. I know you've never been in jail. Yeah, jail for 250 is a big jump. Listen, I'm just saying this for me, if you literally could watch your dog drop a huge doose and not try to cover it, not look around and ask someone for a bag. Cause usually in New York, if you wait in the city, Laura, for a good 60 seconds, some other dog persons come and buy you like, do you have a bag? And then you can pick it up and do it. If you just watch them drop a huge ish and straight up keep walking. And to me, that is so diabolical. I would have no problem with you being tossed in a cell for a day. Think about that. Why do you treat your city like that? Now, keep in mind, I don't feel much different, by the way, I would do a day in jail. If I saw someone driving down the street and when they finish their food, cause this is a New York thing too, they just take their big thing of garbage and drop it out the window jail. Drive right to jail. Yeah. That's great. That is crazy. You would do that to the place that you live. I know. I know. Listen, I agree. I would like to say, you know, if you're willing to do that sort of thing, you need some sort of hefty punishment, right? Half the punishment. Because it would have to be, it would have to start somewhere. It would be like crossing the border multiple times, right? If you cross the border or overstay your welcome here or in any country, right? It starts with a fine. Some countries are a little bit more aggressive, but the United States of America, you cross the border, you overstay your visa. It is a civil misdemeanor. It starts with a fine. Okay. Then sometimes that fine could go upwards of like $5,000. Okay. Then after that, multiple offenses, they start talking about jail. I don't like you. I don't like the comp. I don't like the comp. I don't like it either. Well, that's why I'm bringing it up. That's why I'm bringing it up. No, no, because they crossed the border. It's jail. And I'm telling you, it's not even, that's not even jail. You guys are jumping to jail over dog poo and litter. There's people who jump, I'm trying to give you contacts. You're not even picking up on it. There are people who think that the border is jail and I'm telling you, it's not. But now it's detention center, it's concentration camp. You might get raped. You might get sexually assaulted. You definitely won't get your medicine and the guards who are watching you at the ice facility are going to laugh in your face when you need your medicine or you want to think about it or you want to bathe. But the year thing that you're talking about showed no moral laps. The thing that Lauren, I discussed it, discussing shows, I know that there are people around me. I know that we share this community. I don't care about them garbage in your face. People who wish want to be in this country. Listen, this is a fun. That's and I agree with you, but I'm just letting you know that the way we're in the upside down world. Yeah, it's where literally try. Listen, a lot of people who are in this country literally drove through a legal, legal port. They didn't swim across a river or sneaking on a boat. They drove in in a car through a legal port, most of them by percentage and they're getting treated like you guys want to treat people who don't pick up dog do. Yeah, well, it's not right. Okay, the dog do people deserve that's the worst of the worst. They want to they want to get rid of the worst of the worst. Start with the dog do people. There you go. Well, how about this? We can't even look right now. I thought about this yesterday with all the Epstein noise, right? The abuse of women, the abuse of children trafficking young girls, all the Epstein, you know who's actually in jail? The only woman who was involved. Oh, yeah, true. Yeah, yeah. She's the only one right now. That's so funny. I didn't even think about that. Yes. The only one is the woman. None of them in and they're not even there's not even conversation about prosecuting people. Well, now that I know I'm just trying to understand like where Maxwell, like what her actual role was besides being friend of Epstein who helps. No, she was like the mad. She was the recruiter. She was the mad. She was the the madam, the baby sitter, the, you know what I mean? The whole thing. Yeah, she was very much a part of it. Well, she, but like for example, and I guess allegedly his girlfriend too. But like for example, when Laura, is there no way you could push your laptop back a tiny bit to make you the same height as me and he, bro? Oh, okay. Our inconsistencies bother him. Oh, they're getting smaller. Um, but what I'm going to do is quality control goddamn it. This is what I like to see. We're still taller than us. Can you do it? Can you turn it turn the light? Oh my God. That's really what it is. Rosenberg doesn't want you taller than him. No, no, I don't care who I don't want any of us taller than each other. They're almost there. There you go. She's dropping down there. She is. Okay. Um, I think with Maxwell though, like when, when people would go higher Epstein, right? Epstein's out there. People know, hey, I want to, um, I want to get ex politician to do ex thing. Do we have any dirt on them? I want to get the US to do ex thing for Israel. A, a, a Russia wants to get the US to do this. Well, we've got this guy Epstein. He's got dirt on everyone where they hire like, were they hiring her as well? You think or she just worked directly for him. And he just heard that her dad was the most famous massage agent in like history. So that's just that part. So she's already in, it's kind of already in there. And then yes, her and Epstein were working together. That's how I mean, why do you think she's in jail? I'm thinking it's because her, no, no, obviously there were. She's all over it and he's dead and he's allegedly dead. You know, people are going with allegedly dead by the way. Yeah, I don't know. I'm with, I'm on though. He's not dead. Situation. Really? I feel like there's a good chance. I mean, he did so many, he did so much work for so many different people. You know what I mean? I just think and although I don't know, he would have been probably useful dead for some, for people as well, of course. So it's kind of a tough call, but I sort of lean towards there's a good chance. He's not dead. Interesting. Well, since we're on the Epstein thing in Rosenberg, I'm glad so much crazy stuff has gone on that now when you used to, we used to do the show together. You would rarely want to believe a conspiracy theory. You, you, you're not full 180 on conspiracies and theories and corruption and cronism, but you're, you're getting, you're, you're almost to where I'm at. I think, I think I'm similar to where you're at. I just think sometimes you say it. I think you're more apt to say it. Like, and you don't always necessarily believe it all the way, but it makes for a fun conversation. And maybe I'm less apt to say it, but like, I don't think it's everything is the conspiracy theory, but listen, I've always been a, a, a, a sneaky 9-11 conspiracy theorist. I just kind of like, I don't, I don't know enough to understand it, but I just saw as things that happen that didn't make sense to me, right? I'm certainly in October 7th conspiracy theorist where I certainly think that there was people in power that let that happen. So when, you know, I guess I'm, I guess I'm getting there. Maybe I was that upside down. Tin hat back? Yeah, tin hat back. Tin hat back. Oh, it's different than Shawnee's tin hat. This is a different kind of tin hat, but yeah, for the big stuff, I'm kind of tin hat. So Shawnee, Shawnee, it's all corrupt. And there's, there's no one good. It's, it's, it's, we're all Babylon. It's rotten to the core and there's, and there's no hope. So I'm just going to pay my taxes and not participate in the system. By the way, that's, that's the system. That's what you want to be here. That's safe too. That, that one I can't do though, like, ah, they're all bad. I can't either. I hate, I have other friends at my other job like that too. Like, ah, but you bring up politics. I don't want to talk about politics. They're all bad. The bro. It's, that's very lazy. We are being very lazy. And you have to live here and you have to deal with the consequences. So what do you want to have a say? Again, again, it's this. Dumbass. Do you want the, um, we're offering you a, a bird, do do sandwich, or we have a pretty dry grilled chicken? Well, it's got some honey mustard. It's edible. This bird, do do is horrible. They're all bad. Just give me the bird to do. I just want to point out we've talked about do do. We've only been on the air for, you know, 12 minutes. We've done a lot of doing it in the first 12. Hit us with the button. It is. It's also, it's also, you know, it's also do. You play just. I just, a few items I want to get to, um, one of my, one of my favorite follows on Instagram is this IG account called debunction junction. Uh-oh. Okay. I think guy basically, you know, he basically goes and points out things, the going zones, whether it's true or false or who's saying what or this side is saying that. And anyway, um, he felt the need to delve into this Melania movie. Did you, Melania, did you guys see Melania? Uh, I think it was just yesterday or the day before she had, um, some hostages who were released. They were there and she wanted to slide in the promo of her movie. And then one of the reporter asked her, is it, is this a good time while you're sitting here with these, uh, people who just got released to be talking about your movie and she was like, this isn't promo, but she just promoted her movie. I did not. And we, and by the way, and by the way, we never see Melania talk really ever, but now you're sitting down with the press there and it's not. Got a movie. But there's a, there's a, uh, we were talking about Epstein, but there's another tie and go to the, uh, debunked in junction. Brett Ratner, clip. Let's see. I'm curious about this. Yeah. It's taking a while to make my father would. We weren't such a great space. I definitely saw her sitting up there. All right. So we all know Melania Trump has a new documentary out, but did you know of all the people they could have picked to direct this thing? They had to pick this guy, Brett Ratner, who you guessed it is in the Epstein files. But it's not like Brett Ratner wasn't a problematic person prior to this Epstein dump. That's right. In 2017 at the height of the Me Too movement, six actresses told the Los Angeles Times that a prominent Hollywood director, that's Brett Ratner, was sexually violent towards them. And after Brett here was implicated in those Epstein files, Pierce Morgan here decided to ask him about it. As you know, the picture came out of you with Jeffrey Epstein with two apparently young women in it. What is your response to that picture? And what is your response to the wider scandal of the Epstein files? Oh, well, that particular picture in particular happened around 20 years ago, out of 2019, 20 to 21 years ago, because that is a photograph of my fiancee who invited me to this event and that's where the picture was taken. I was never been in contact with Jeffrey Epstein before that photo and I was never in contact with him after. So that's a picture of me and my fiancee at some event. All right. So there you have Brett's explanation, but let's get some facts straight before we dig into this a little bit deeper. So yeah, according to Brett, this picture is from 20 years ago around 2006. He says the photo was taken at an event, which sounds like it's a big thing with a ton of different people. And then he says he was never in contact with Epstein before or after that night. So let's take a look here. And here is that picture that was shown on Pierce Morgan. Now, I don't know about you, but when I'm at some big event, I don't usually cuddle up to someone I've never known before. And I also want you to look at these pictures that are behind here. And that's because in that same document dump, there was this photo that has those same two pictures that are here and here. And it also includes this big smiling guy here. But who is this guy that was also at this event? Well, thanks to this photo of that same smiling guy with Brett in the same clothes and that same white couch behind him, we know that this guy is none other than Jean-Luc Brunel. But who is Jean-Luc Brunel? Well, as it turns out, in February of 2022, Jean-Luc Brunel, just like Epstein, was found dead in a prison cell. And it says down here that the 76-year-old had been held for over a year as he was investigated on suspicion of the grape of miners and trafficking of miners for sexual exploitation. Gosh, what bad luck for Brett Ratner, huh? He just happens to go to this event and then ends up cuddling with not one, but two of the worst sex traffickers of minor girls of all time. And I think another important detail that Brett happened to leave out is where exactly was this party taking place. Well, if you look at the lampshade here, the white curtain, and these two architectural things on these doors here. And we go over here and we see those same two architectural things, the same lamp and the same curtain. And we go ahead and pull this out of the way. You'll see this was a story that said, Jeffrey Epstein's New York townhouse to sell for roughly 50 million. And for a guy who said he only had contact with Jeffrey Epstein at one time in 2006, it's not great that when you enter Brett Ratner into the full library, you get 68 results. And some of these entries certainly imply that there was a relationship going on after that 2006 meeting, like this one that's two Brett Ratner about Jeffrey Epstein. And it says, Hello, Brett. Jeffrey would like to speak with you regarding redacted or this 2012 email from Publicist Peggy Seagull to Jeffrey Epstein that says sitting next to Brett Ratner, he produced Woody's three hour documentary that just was shown it can. We are about to see Roman Polanski's documentary. Brett says, hi, and he loves you. And it's just beyond a coincidence that Trump could have hired anyone of a thousand directors to direct his wife's documentary, but he pre-epstein. Brow. Incredible. This guy goes hard, bro. The internet is amazing. They're better than the FBI. They just break it down. They're like, check out this lampshade. I'm like, you're like, oh my god, it is the same one. People have time. You could have just told me, you know Brett Ratner, he's a bad guy. I would have been like, yup, I know. That was the craziest part to me is that Brett and that one's email. He's reaching out to his persons reaching out to Jeffrey Epstein as he just directed a movie about Woody Allen and he's about to go watch a movie about Roman Polanski. Yo, my man, how many creeps can you be associated with? I know, bro. It's creep upon creep upon creep. And this is who is directing the great film, Malon, which is Amazon spent $75 million for the yet, which people are saying, which is just to do it in another 30 something million to marketing. So and what people are saying is that basically it was just a gift to Donald Trump. It was just Jeff Bezos being like, hey, we'll spend $75 on your movie. Do you know what the movie, which they're considering? They're choosing to consider a success as a documentary over its first weekend. It made $7 million. Hmm. Now, they're saying that's pretty decent for a documentary. I'll tell you what, it's still ain't getting you back to the $75 million that you spent to put it out. Well, and it's not getting these people to get jobs. But Jeff Bezos has plenty of money, right? Well, yeah, but that's hard. But that's why one third of the Washington Post. I was just about to say that. Just about to say that. You know how many people lost their jobs, doesn't it? So you spent $70 million on this movie. Nobody's going to see the kiss up to the president. And then you just fired regular folks, you know, at the Washington Post. Was it only one third? It seemed like more than that was the whole sports department. Well, no, it's the third overall staff, including shuttering the entire sports desk. Yes. You know, just for self-suffer personal reasons. The sports desk of my childhood, my entire life. I mean, time out big names. Thomas Boswell, Mike Wilbond, Sally Jenkins, Tony Cornheiser, one of the great sports pages of all time. Yeah, also the foreign desk, so all the international coverage, a lot of the reporters that are in the Middle East or wherever they're reporting from, they just got to even be like, yep, you're clipped. And they're just like, have you ever heard of anything like this before? We're like a rich guy who makes money on the internet, goes off and buys a big piece of media. And then for some reason, looks around and is like, I don't know how to make money with this media outlet. Let me fire everyone and see if I start making money. Oh, let me think. Let me never. Let me tell you. Why do they keep doing this? Why do they keep buying these media? Because they want access control control, access control the narrative, right? Remember, all of this is about everything you're seeing in the media and it's about control, which is why so much has moved to where we've moved. You know, and many people started it first. And it's always, by the way, for being honest, it's always been about control. There's never been, there's been, quote unquote, freedom of the press for sure. But remember, once the news became something that advertisers needed to advertise against to justify it, it's existence, right? That's when it slid into more salaciousness and more entertainment value because they wanted to sell advertising. I want you to know something about our American culture here in the United States. We don't tune into things just because we want information and knowledge. That's not what John Blaze out here. I guess not. Right. Why can't this because it's, it's good to be informed and knowledgeable. It's just not. We only trust in why pluck an emotional cord for us. But why can't the newspaper? I was having this discussion yesterday. Like, I don't understand why there's a lot of free content available on the internet and these, and these places, whether it be YouTube or whoever have figured out how to make money even though the consumer doesn't want to pay, they figured out a way to make money. Why are these news outlets not able to figure out a way or is it that their owners don't want to figure out a way to have them more profitable? You know what I'm saying? Well, you would have to look, you would have to look into what is actually profitable on YouTube and how much money they're spending to operate it. I don't know if that if like YouTube is really, we are operating our own YouTube space. They just give us space, right? Like it doesn't require a person to actually run the ebrolore or rosemore. We're, we're paying the person. Right. Not YouTube. You know what I'm saying? So imagine if YouTube had to staff someone for every thing that got posted on YouTube. It probably wouldn't be as, as, as a financially successful. It's a DIY space. Right. I mean, maybe there was a way to do that with media though. But they're trying. They're trying to replace people with AI, bro. That's what it is. I saw a couple of the notes. It was just like, there's so many jobs now that can be replaced with AI. We don't need to pay these people. They truly believe that. Cool. Well, no. They don't have to believe it. It's, it's, it's happening. It's already happening. Yeah. And by the way, all the DIY journalism is on Instagram or on YouTube. That's it. Yep. That's it. Now, Laura, this isn't, this isn't AI. This is real life. We have more on the man who spent a hefty dollar in the super chat to say, hey, Laura, now that we have you on Zoom again, can you hit us with the people's eyebrow periodically? Hello, well, thank you. That one. Did you, did you, can you do it on command? I think it's like, I was, you did it. Can't do it on command. Wait, when would, when would you have me with things for Laura? I don't know. Now, people always talk about it because this eyebrow kind of just goes up sometimes. It's, it's not really that she's hitting the people's eyebrow. It just goes rogue and people see it. Yeah. And then it pops them and they won't, and who's it happened? It happened. Super chat, you want to say their name? I did. More on the man. Oh, more on the man. I thought you were talking about Jeff Bezos. You was saying more on the man. No, no, I don't want to say anything more about that bastard, not a Bezos guy. Well, listen, we do got to shout some super chatters. Do we have the list of super chatters? They're Laura styles because I know yesterday we were all hitting the road. We got to show up for everyone. I obviously this won the super chatter so far. Yeah, no, let me see. Well, some of the ones I'm just going to shout out people who have been supporting us. Nice village 59 83. Let me see. Ingersmith 393. J.W 4789. Amen. And you're Rick. You're Rick. So shout out to you guys for always checking in with us. That's the hot rod Rick. I see him in the chat too. How are I Rick was going down? I landed in San Francisco yesterday. And you know, how to immediately get to preparing for the press conference we have today with bad bunny to kick off, you know, the Super Bowl weekend at Apple Music Super Bowl 60 halftime show. And so I was, you know, at the hotel I'm at, it's, you know, if you've ever been in San Francisco, you know, there's a lot of hills where the hotel I'm at happens to be a born of hill. And one of the streets looks straight down. And you know, in the distance, you can see the the golden gate bridge. Oh, nice. I mean, it's, you know, it's nice. But you could kind of it was a clear day so you could get a good, good look. Anyway, I posted a photo on my stories. How are I Rick was like, yo, how'd you get that? How'd you get out there? So. Magic show. He's speedy. You know, you know, you broke it on the subject smoking. Saturday. Yo, you brought tell us, tell us about how. Gibroni city is. I know, listen, I know you can't bury the Super Bowl. The Super, you know, Apple halftime shows. What are you asking? Just the Super Bowl media week has gotten so crazy that now because the web and how many content creators there are. It's just oh my god. I mean, I went out. It was already back. Now, you know, the media room like where everyone is. Yeah, like did you go where did you do? Do you spend any time at? I haven't gone. I haven't gone through there. I was going to go there today if I have time. I was once radio. I walked behind it, but I wear the press conferences is is is separate. It's in a different section. So I didn't do it there. But people are telling me Steven A Smith. I'm saying I was going to go find him and see see if we got face to face. Oh, wow. Interesting. To be honest. What do you mean? Wait, so are you going to okay? Well, I was just going to say I don't know because you're not going to back down. He's offended by the point you mean. I was just going to go and hit my dancing music. I was going to roll over with the dancing music playing. You know what I'm saying? You think you think this is. That's the wrong beat. I don't think this is a good idea. Yeah, I don't I don't think it's a good idea either. Hope you brought your dancers. Well, look, you know, look, bad bunnies performing. We're going to be dancing. So Steven A. So now we need to be dancing. I have a lot of bad bunny thoughts, but I feel like we save them for tomorrow for the Friday show. What do you think? Bad bunny thoughts. Why and why do you got a save them? I just well, I don't know because it's super bowl weekend and tomorrow's Friday. I don't know. I just feel. I am so annoyed with the conversation about bad bunny. Like here, let me, let me just, I'll sum it up like this. People and this isn't just right wingers, but this is not just the people. We know that there are the races to our straight up. Like, I don't want me to hear no damn S. We know that crap. But beyond that, you have a lot of people who aren't even that who are just like, I don't know bad bunny's music. It's not English. Well, we're not going to do is pretend like every year's super bowl halftime performer is inclusive to absolutely every fan. So that's what we're not going to do. Well, guess what? I mean, of course, but it's the espagno that bothers people. Rosenberg. There's, there's people watching us right now who are accustomed to the world around them, not having them at the center of everything. The people you're talking about are accustomed to knowing everything that they see on the things that they love is tailored for them or they know something about it. At least, even if that means just understanding the language, especially at the Super Bowl, they are or anything involving NFL. There are accustomed to being like, oh, yeah, Leonard Skinner or Aerosmith or you know, or they last year for Kendrick Lamar, who did the most inside, yo, this man Kendrick was playing. They were actually. I do. They were. They were actually two. Not like this. There this is because he's a black American. And he's rapper and they know, oh, this is this is some, there are accustomed to like, oh, okay. Black people doing something I'm not quite familiar with, but you know, I'm accustomed to giving that space. But spandered. Let's see it before. Another Lange. I know. It really is the espionage. Like Kendrick Ely. They just know they wouldn't be they know black people ain't stepping down. You ain't scaring nobody. A matter of fact, we're going to get louder. Oh, oh, you're uncomfortable. Let's take this up a notch. They're not a, they're not accustomed. Listen. They're not accustomed to my Hispanic brothers and sisters turning it up a notch on their head top. And now it is now. And now it's turned. It's up and it's stuck as they say. I just, the problem is I'm trying to have like a real conversation when I know it's really just based on fear, xenophobia and racism. So I just try to respond to people by going, oh, really, you don't think you're going to, you're not like, you don't, it's totally cool. You don't know his music. I, I imagine if you are coming from the standpoint of I don't know the music well, will I enjoy this performance? I think you'd be much more apt to enjoy this year than last year. Okay. It's an inside baseball race. It's, it's dancing. It's fun. It's up tempo. It's singing. You're going to have a good time. But every with that, we know that's not what it's about. Like the fact that this is a quote political issue just shows that the politics of the right is based in xenophobia and racism. And we know that. Yes. But it's also, even if you consider yourself on the left. And you're somehow off put by bad bunny being there and you not being familiar with his music. And you're like, I've never heard of this person. It's not about you. It's not about you. But join the party. Why don't you come learn something for a change? Why don't you just show up to something that may be familiar with and have a good time. How about that? Have you ever thought about that? Are you just accustomed to being the center of the conversation all the time? And that's the piece. A lot of white people and Americans are accustomed to knowing every detail of everything, especially at the halftime Super Bowl. And this time you might not. But by the way, there's tons of people. Bad Bunny's albums number one in China. Right? Like it's I saw that one all over the world. It's just they made this decision for a reason, guys. The 32 owners who I wouldn't describe as progressive. All are okay with this happening. Why? Because more than any sort of political message, they care about the bottom line. The NFL wants to have games and friggin Nicaragua and China and Thailand. And they play the NFL football game in Brazil where nobody plays football the American way. They play it the international way. They're doing this for a reason. And then also we got to stop with the football fans. I was arguing this with Don and Alan yesterday. Football fans got to stop acting like the Super Bowl is even a football game. Like you have to accept that the championship Sunday that was two weeks ago is the last day of true football. Accepted way. The Super Bowl is gone. It's not even real. Wait, wait. I'm not a football watcher the way I used to be. But when I was. I was. I didn't even go to Super Bowl parties. I didn't like them. You know why? Too many casual. That's what it is though. I didn't like that. And I never liked. I never liked the half. It was too long. It was too many commercials. I don't care. I want to watch football. The fact that people are just now coming to the realization that the Super Bowl unless your team's in it is not really about. Quarter quarter quarter hardcore football fans. It's a button hit the button. You should have been like, how are you just coming to this conclusion? It's congratulations. You played. There's not even real football fans really at the damn game. Of course not. No, people are like they the fact that they were able to get a ticket is enough for them. They don't care. No, it's a whole it's it's like a status thing like. I just I have just accepted that the Super Bowl is a silly fun thing to hang out with friends. There's a reason I've watched the Super Bowl with Laura multiple times. Not exactly my first phone call for a hardcore sporting event. Exactly. So it's been a pink random jersey. Did she wear like a. I don't know. Jersey. Not even thought about sports. Here's the thing. If somehow my team were ever to make it back to the Super Bowl. I would probably want to narrow that scope to a you know a room of people who would at least be on my side and rooting for my team. But but it's not my team is never in it. So I don't even care. I just go to the party. Eat the wings. Have a good time. The fact that people like I need to take it serious. I don't care. I have time. Oh, bro, you have lost the plot. It this is the Super Bowl soon. It's going to they're going to move it guys. It's going to end up falling all the way on like president's day. It'll literally be a holiday. It'll be Sunday night leading into president's day Monday. Wait. So like two weeks from now. Well, next year. It's falling on Valentine's Day. What? Why? Next year it falls on February or t. And then why? That's just the way the calendar works between Labor Day. So they're not taking more time off between the championship games and the. No. But if you do that, but if you do the math on it and you see how close it's getting and you know they're sitting at a 17 game schedule. And they're not going to keep it a weird odd number. You know, at some point they're coming for that 18 game schedule. Yeah. Then guess what that does that pushes it to the following week and we get president's day Sunday, which by the way, I have to say I'm not mad at that part. I do like the idea because it is often. They're really trying to dump on the NBA's all star game. They are doing everything in the NBA and their little all star game, which by the way, the NBA, the NBA all star weekends struggling anyway. No, the NBA does their best themselves. Let's be honest. They've done their best themselves. They killed the dunk contest. The whole East West. This team. This guy is a captain. That guy is a captain. All these different iterations of the actual game. Nobody plays these. It's basically the Harlem Glove Trotters versus to watch the general. It's terrible. It's terrible. I saw the list for the celebrity game this year and I say that recognizing that obviously the celebrity games had some down years because I played in the game. But but when you look at this guy. Give us a name. Give us a name. First define celebrity. Before you do anything, we have to agree on the terms and conditions of. Do you mean the actual definition in in not in the dictionary? What were you saying today to define? I'm going to just throw some names at you. Okay. I'm curious. Jenna. Jenna bandie. Never heard of the person. Who said. IE bro. They're including in the game. And this is an order. I'm just reading the names in order. ESPN NBA insider. Shamsherania is in the game. Well, he's a he's a sports celebrity. I give him that right? Sure. It's just weird because he like covers the league. It's not what I would think of you put in the game. But he's definitely well known. Okay. Shams is out here. Plus you got great hair. Great hair. I will. Former Celtic and very, very tall taco fall. So he's a former player. Um.

You know, are rent being paid and uh, it's so messy. Yeah, we could definitely talk about it because it's annoying.

I haven't looked yet to see what the people said to see if the people were going. I'm going to, I'm going to take a look. But shoutouts everyone who has, uh, jumped on board. There it is. ELR unleashed versus recap. Michael Jackson and how eBro helped eve get a Grammy. That's the name of the episode that we did. An in studio hour and 14 minute vehicle that we dropped yesterday. 78 comments here. That's pretty good. No, no, what's happening? Hey 78. Bro, yeah, I'm here. What happened? Is that you? Yeah, we have strange sound has occurred. Uh oh. This is what happened. Sound is. This is what happens when we're not in our illustrious new stew. Right, right, right, right, right. Well, and your god knows where? Yeah, I'm on the road. He's a mute your mic. See if that's you. All right, it probably is. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what that was. Well, he's on location. He's on remote. He's trying. He's trying. Do you want me to kick? Yeah, oh, that's it's really bad. And he like reconnect. What about now? Fine. What were you doing? What happened? I was trying to increase my volume because they were telling me I was low and then they were telling you your mic volume is too loud all of a sudden. It's a real something change. I like to bring mine down, but you sound fine to my ear. You sound the exact same. Yeah, you sound great. All right. Well, Lord, you want this run down intro? Yeah, let's go. All right. So I'm, I'm just going to give you guys a recap, a quick one with the whole Glowrilla story. So Glowrilla's sister alleges that she doesn't support her family. Okay. She just went on social media saying she's going to expose your favorite rapper. You know, we have the same mom, same dad, 10 siblings. She is not who you think she is. You know, and then people just started getting petty. People started, I think it was one of Glowrilla's backup dancers was defending her saying like, yeah, she does help you guys, but you guys are ungrateful. It's one of those apparently Glowrilla at one point gave her dad a car like a Jaguar. And then the sister was complaining that it didn't have any gas in it. And that their mom still works at FedEx and she needs rent money. So blah, blah, blah. It's everyone's just airing family business. But at the very end, Glowrilla posted a screenshot of a text message from family saying basically thanking her for everything she does for them. So, you know, listen, the talk is, are you, are you obligated to help your family? That's not the combo. I'm sorry, guys. Once I hear 10 siblings, I'm just going to do a couple of of those. When somebody is doing as well as Glowrilla and you got 10 siblings, there's a breakdown and communication for sure. And siblings just go rogue. So that's the conversation. Do you have a gang of people in your family and there's one or two of them that are a problem? Absolutely. Or because the sister is like, yo, don't you have Glowrilla's phone number? Maybe you're the one she doesn't speak to. Why are you going to the internet? Why are you starting this? Evidence suggests if you're jumping out on the internet to talk about your sibling that maybe this relationship has other issues. Maybe. Can I just say that? I mean, it's possible. And is it possible? Maybe. Is it possible that mom still likes her job? You know older people still like to work sometimes. They like having their own life. Yeah. That could be it too. That could be it. Now we don't know. I'm guessing it could be all problematic and Glowrilla could be the problem. Who knows? But I'm just saying I've seen this story before where the sibling is trying to get out on the internet and tell family business. And it's usually the sibling. That's the problem. I think it's very hard for any of us to really appreciate what it must be like. To be like that level of famous and rich in your family. Particularly if you come from absolutely nothing. It must get so crazy and hard to manage. Absolutely. And everybody's expecting you to take care of them or take care of things. You know what I mean? I'm going to tell everybody you got to be more like me. My cousin, my aunt hit me day before yesterday telling me to call my cousin. My cousin has been a crackhead and an addict for a good 20 joints. Not calling bro. Sorry. I ain't talking. I haven't talked to you since I was nine. Oh God. Nine? No, I didn't talk to you bro. No, I didn't talk to you. I did talk to this cousin. And I sent someone to bring them some money where they live. And it's okay. They'll report on like how they're living because I couldn't get there and they needed some money. But I haven't seen them. But I did talk to them. Send them some money and they said where they were living was not good. Things were not good. And I gave them some money and then I never heard from them. Let's go right now. I can you bro do you want me to predict what they want to hear from you? Money. I don't believe my guess. But guess what? The reason I'm telling y'all, you know, this is like my, well, this is like a second because of my grandmother's sister's daughter. So it's like a second. Oh, I like a second. Bastel. My first cousin I talked to you all the time. My dad's brothers. Some good talk to all the time. Just a text. I got it. Now the fact that I text with him because he talks to them and I text him and said why is your mom telling me to reach out to her. She's drug addict. Not doing it. Let me know y'all let me know what's going on. Cause so basically I'm saying all this to say y'all got to be more like me. Just because you family, I don't give a damn bro. If you move in funny, you can cut off too. I respect it. I just want to know how Ibra went to California and somehow left his sniffles and congestion with Laura. Oh, oh, no, sorry. Sorry. I am. I am. I didn't tell you. I have a sinus issue. You know, it's really bad. It's so bad. No, we're listening. Oh, I'm struggling. I'm sorry. I'm crazy. I'm I'm struggling, guys. I'm struggling. All right. Keep powering through. Yes, yes, yes. All right. So Floyd Mayweather is suing showtime. And showtime. Floyd Mayweather. Yep. Go ahead. Congratulations. You played yourself. He's suing showtime and former showtime sports president. Steven Espinoza claiming that they helped his longtime advisor, Alhaiman. Misappropriate more than $340 million of his boxing earnings. According to the lawsuit, he claims that money from his major fights, you know, the many Pacquiao Condor McGregor, was sent to account control by Hamon instead directly to him years later. He's like, when he switched to managers and requested showtime's financial records that they were just like, sorry, they lost in a flood. We don't have them. So now he's suing showtime right now for. Seems like a lot of money to him have not gotten considering how much money he already had. That's a crazy $340 million, bro. He had $340 million more on top of the like billion he had. Yeah, that's crazy. Yo Floyd, when you got, when you really think about the level of money, you gotta say, right? That's pro is real Floyd. That's, that's different. He's coming for all this paper. He's got his new real estate ventures in New York City. No, man. He's got friends. Yeah, you got friends out here. Floyd, when you think about a guy, when you compare the amount of entertainment, to the amount of money he made. And I know it's going to get some people really angry because Floyd has his people who get defensive about him. Yo, he ripped off the whole world on a level we've never seen. What do you mean ripped off? Considering how few amazing fights he actually took in his prime that actually would have entertained us versus the amount of money he made. I put it. So that's the one thing I don't mind. What, that he ripped us off for $50 many times. Yeah. I didn't mind that. That doesn't his behavior and how he manages money and who he is bothers me more than how you finesse the boxing world. The person. I get that. It's the sports fan of me who just was like, oh no, no, always waited. Yeah, always waited for the over the hill matchup. We never got the prime. Well, you know, but the reason I say this with Floyd is because when he was, when he was out here really putting in work when he was just coming off the Olympics and all that was really out here putting in work, they didn't want to give him the big fights. So he had that he became a heel. Remember that sinko to my own where he came out with some bra row and became. Oh, that's right. You know, look and got a lot of attention because of it. He became that and then he was like, you know what? If I got to be, if I'm the bad guy, I'm, I'm just lean all the way in. I think what ended up happening is it, I don't know what happens to your brain when you become the bad guy. It just kind of all it just took over his whole person. You've probably seen this in wrestling where a wrestler becomes a heel and then all of a sudden in real life becomes that same person. You're like, bro, weren't you just active? Wasn't that all just I've never seen that, but I'm sure it's possible. But that's why I like wrestling because they're mostly saying, you know what I mean? They're not actually getting their brains beaten in for a living. That's the difference. You know, that's a big difference, especially in the modern era. For modern era. Wait, hold on, I could pretend to get my brains beaten or I could really get my brains beaten. That distinction. That was a lot. There's a lot there. All right. So in other news, you know, we talked about this, but yeah, the Washington Post announced layoffs about one third of the entire workforce, approximately 300 employees across both newsroom and business operations. So the cuts have, you know, the key impacts are the sports books department for in desks. So that's all the international coverage. All of it is being scaled back local and metro coverage of DC. Yeah. And the popular post reports podcast, so all the audio. They were like, yep, all of you guys goodbye. We need to save some money. But no, no, no, no, no, no. It justifies the 70 plus million that the owner just put towards the Malania film. It probably all came out of one line item on his like expenditure where he was like, this is all the media money. So if we're going to do, if I'm going to do some media, create a documentary for 70 million, we got to pull this money from somewhere else. That's why these people are rich. They don't spend their money. It all comes from the same bucket. They're not going to, they're not going to move money over from one successful venture into a dying venture. It's not going to happen. No, no, no, you pretend you don't have the money. That's right. The other thing die. You know, the craziest thing is I don't know if you guys know this, but for the Washington Post for many, many years, the little quote that they have under their under the Washington Post is slogan. They're slogan. Thank you. The slogan for the Washington Post is democracy dies in darkness. And in this case, it's, they got it wrong. Democracy is dying just in light. It's just outside. It's a long time. Right. It's a broad daylight. We're watching y'all. We're watching you do it. Let's camera action. All right, let's go to, you know, we have something for the Lou down. Let's go, Rosenberg. One of my favorite, one of my favorite little pieces of the program. Not because of the content. I like the intro of the hot, ride rate game. Hold on to your speakers. Time. Time for the low down. With Laura Stuy. Woo. All right. Well, let's get this video ready, man, because, you know, with all this Epstein talk, you know, Melinda Gates had an interview with MPR and she responds to all the craziness, all the headlines that have been, you know, out in the open. Now, remember, the, the big one was that her ex-husband Bill Gates tried to secretly give her drugs to treat an unknown STD. That's what they were saying that in the emails. Yes, that was in the email. So this is a video of her, um, basically, you know, responding to all this. I have to acknowledge the elephant in the room at this moment. Your ex-husband Bill is named in the newest tranche of Epstein files. Yeah. And there are a new alleged details about his past behavior. And I want to give you the opportunity to respond in whatever way you want to. Well, let me say this. I think we're having a reckoning as a society, right? No girl. No girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with all of the various people around him. No girl. I mean, it's just, it's beyond heartbreaking, right? I remember being those ages, those girls where I remember my daughters being those ages, right? So, um, for me, it's personally hard whenever those details come up, right? Because, um, brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage. But I have moved on from that. So whatever questions remain there of what I don't, can't even begin to know all of it. Those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband, they need to answer to those things, not me. And I am so happy to be away from all the muck that it was there. I have to put more words to the muck for context for our listeners. The emails in the files suggest that Bill Gates had additional affairs and that he tried to get medication to treat a sexually transmitted infection. And that he was going to give you the medicine without you knowing. His representative has said all of this is false. It is not on you to have to respond to the details of that alleged behavior. But I wonder what your dominant emotion is when you read these news articles with these details. Sad. Just unbelievable sadness. And again, I am able to take my own sadness and look at those young girls and say, my God, how did that happen to those girls? For me, it is just sadness. Sadness for, I left my marriage. I had to leave my marriage. I wanted to leave my marriage. So it is just sad. That is the truth. And in cathodes and DC, imaginable, I think. There is remember, he was emailing about what he wanted to do. Not something he actually did. She divorced him clearly knowing there was some, you know, muck. There was muck, right? Muck. So nothing was muck. There was muck. Infected or affected. He was he was he was planning. I mean, she was affected by his behavior, but not affected by that. Whatever he was doing in that email, that would have warranted him saying, hey, I'm going to slide my wife some antibiotics because I got an STD. How do I go about doing that? That's what they're bringing her into. So I kind of in a way feel bad for her because she's already distanced herself from the whole situation. Right. And now she's being brought into it as if she's the one that wrote the email. That was him. So what do you want? And I, like what is she doing? I do, you know, shout out to her because she, even though this has to be traumatic for her, but she still makes sure that she puts her pain aside and acknowledges the victims. Acknowledges these young girls because they were young girls. Well, and also it's important to Laura because remember while she's very sad about how her marriage worked out, she wasn't trafficked. She wasn't sexually abused. Right. She wasn't raped. She wasn't, you know what I mean? So yeah, of course, that's basically she's saying, what happened to me? It's terrible. I'm very sad. But what was actually going on is right. It's beyond the pale. And people got to answer to it. Even her ex has been everyone. So and of course, those team denies is saying that it's false. Are you saying that I know? It's not real. What are you saying? That's not what they claim. That's not your email address. It's made up. What do you say? I need to know what people are saying when you say it's false. That he was, they were trying to extort him. Who were they were? That's what Epstein did. That's what the whole thing was. It was Epstein trying to get information. But it doesn't mean you weren't doing the communication. Right. Right. No, the whole Epstein thing is extortion. It's the whole thing. There are people, there are people in there who aren't getting any noise about them because the emails that have been found on them, it's him fishing and them denying. Right. I was just going to say, I was just going to say, you know how you don't get blackmailed? If you ain't doing creepy, don't be it. Yeah, then don't get involved in the first place. Don't be a creep. Don't be a creep, bro. How about that? The manor's owner, I believe, was in there and he was trying to rendezvous and it's just his person trying to find time. And you can tell the person's like, nah, well, sorry, unavailable. That's all they're getting. It's unavailable. It happened. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. That was so low down there at Lorca style. It was great pull. Oh, yeah, I'm messing. I want to shout out to handball access 914 in the Super Chat. Who would like us to cover more handball? Handball. That's right. He wants us to talk about that sport more and give more light to that sport. Now speaking of sports and things I want to give light to, Rassant, do you have the sport clip that I sent over that I would love to work? It's a sport. It's a sporting event. I was not aware. Was it sport? Oh, I know where you go. I wanted to share it with everyone right now. Were you aware that this was a sport? Rassant, do you have the clip? Let's see. Let's see if he has it. I don't want to give it away by telling what it is, but it's the only sports clip that we sent over Rassant. Sports is maybe it's confusing because sports is a rough way. You got to be an athlete. There's some sort of thing happening with physical contact. That is a fact. You got to acknowledge the elephant in the room in this moment. Your ex-husband Bill is named in the newest tranche of Epstein. I think we're having a reckoning as a society, right? No girl. I have to acknowledge. I think we're having a reckoning. Oh my god, I'm seeing stop. Stop meddling. So it's not working. The equipment's broken. We just got to wrap the show. Rassant, what's happening? No, who's the song? I said Rassant. I might change to Rassant. No one is bad. He's Rassant. No, that is hilarious. And now there's just like no communication. Now there's no communication. Well, there's obviously something going on. So tell us. Are we going to do it or are we not? We're just stalling. It's been 60 seconds. I think he's trying. I think he's trying, bro. I do have something I have to do in the meantime while this messiness gets cleaned up. Yeah. Okay. Up. We got a face. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Wait, she was really hyped. What? Yo. Yellow. Oh, Ebro, why did you share that? Because that's, you don't find that amazing. And by amazing crazy. Facing. I'm going to tell you there was two things. No, her face. Her face. How intense she was. How she celebrated after like she's been working for this championship or whatever that was or entire life. She. How did she prep for that? She. I don't know how they exercise. It sounds like. Top pushups. That literally looks like it would be a thing that like a couple's laying around in bed on a Sunday doing nothing. And they start pushing each other. And then you start playing in like, you know, we should make this a sport. No, you shouldn't. What are you doing? Listen, there's a part of me that. There's a slap. There's a part of me that thinks some creep came. Some creep with a foot fetish came up with this confidence. Sure. First but facts. But I'm going to tell you another thing that amazed me about this thing. And then we'll get to the gurus. They had sponsors. Oh, it's it's well produced. Not what are we saying? It's a. In a vent. Yes. We don't have. They have sponsors. Toe wrestling is hot right now. And it was sponsored by that company that makes the souls on boots. Vibram Vibram. How you say? Oh, really? That's when you're in the clip again. We're sorry. No, no, no, it's okay. No, we don't need to see the toe wrestling again. But I can't see it. I got to see a woman. I'm going to see a woman. I'm going to see a woman. I'm going to see a woman. Look at this. Wow. That is. I need to see the crowd. I need to see the crowd. I need to be more info. I need more info. You were really affected by this. Did you know this was happening in the world? No. And I don't think anyone does. It's pretty hilarious. They have weight classes. Like is it based on like foot size? Like do they have like a flat foot division versus like high arches? I need to know. Like because if I have a size five, sure, you can't be toe wrestling with somebody with an 11. You can't do that. You got no, no, no. They have to be in a certain class of the world. toe wrestling contest. It's a sport. There's a Wikipedia page. Wow. There's a website. The toe wrestling championship. Wow. There's lots of gross pictures of people's toenails that are making me want to puke. Why did I do that? I mean, they're toe wrestling. That is repulsive. A couple of more things from a super chat before we get to the gurus, guys. Okay. If it's all right, if it's all right with you. I want to correct myself that it's not more on the man. It's Moreno, the man. Moreno, who has spent multiple times to talk about Laura's eyebrow. Thank you, Moreno. Thank you. You have been pre. Ebony Ebony, unique. Love you, fam. So you said that. She loves the platform. Parlay Hunter. Who hit us up about our guru the other day. Juni Santiago reached out as well. Laura mentioned East Village 5983. But yeah, shout out to everyone who's hitting us on the super chat. And also, Ebro, Shabuzie, back down, man. Back down. What do you mean he backed down? He put it. He played it back down. He put out a statement. Oh, yeah. He put out a cleanup statement. Yeah, he was shut up. People are offensive. I know he was going to do it. I know he was going to do it. People are offended. I guess. Yo, it's it's it's it's it's effing insane, bro. That is insane. People were offended that he's immigrants built this country is not offensive. He was talking about immigrants. That's that doesn't mean he has to mention everyone else who's built the country. Why do you why do we beat people up when they're trying to do the right thing? What is wrong with us? No, but who's we the people the people on our side because that is our side. That is a left eating left. This is what people say about you know, they're so no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't know if you're I don't know if you're tapped into the, you know, foundational black American, you know, African descendants of slavery. So it's not necessarily left or right. There's definitely people black folks who saw black man up there and who had a country had on and it was like, yo bro, what are you talking about? But if those people they think they don't want to do that. If you're anyone when you get up there in a moment where you're trying to fight for if the people who are under attack, this is back to black lives matter. That's some all lives matter bull ish. He was up there because that house is on fire right now. So he's trying to put water on that house that's on fire and they're going all lives matter. That's a different version of all lives matter. I don't agree with you. I don't really see it like that. Okay. What was so, so I don't agree with you at all. I feel like you think he needs to apologize by people who are waiting on him because what I know what I know what I read was someone who mispoke and went up there and clarified and he didn't, he didn't, how is it misspeaking? How is it misspeaking? Because immigrants didn't build the country. They built some things and they currently, they currently help build the economy. You don't have a country without the slave labor that they actually got for free that built the entire economy and that's very sensitive to people. So for people who were abused and continually erased to be like, wait, wait, wait, hold up, hold up, hold up. I know everybody's sensitive right now, but let's not just gloss over this thing that people love to historically gloss over and act like it doesn't exist. Let's not do that. I can't just say they shouldn't be sensitive. You're not, I'm not going to do that. I think that's really, that's really all it is about. Hey, it's black history month. B, B. Well, that's okay. No, no, well, nothing. Like what are you saying? Like this is the change what the, it does because you're talking about the group that is always shown, bro. It's the group that's always on that people are like, yo, but he wasn't doing that. Not on purpose. He wasn't on purpose. He wasn't. But for someone to be held accountable on social media, it's not like people ask for him to be like removed from society. Listen, I wanted it to be clear. You're yelling, you're yelling and I tried to say to you, no, I disagree though. I just, but you're wrong. You're wrong. No, it's not. It's Twitter terrorism, bro. It's Twitter. Terrorism. It's not just Twitter. We will catch you and you'll beat you down. No, it's not. Sometimes people just want him to clarify. Stay me. Clarified it. It went away. It's going now. That was it. You're right. And that, oh, okay. It's cool that he clarified it. I guess, but in the moment when you say you're trying to have a moment to say that immigrants are part of building this country and you leave out one word, you need to then be destroyed for it. He didn't get to destroy the contributions of enslaved Americans. He didn't say parts. He didn't get destroyed. No, he went on for two days. Yeah, Laura, did I miss that he wasn't getting it from everywhere? I mean, no, he got playing a backlash. Absolutely. You got back. Absolutely. You got back. You got back. People do the outrage thing in text. It wasn't like people doxed this house like they did the Billy Isle where a British journalist went to Billy Isle's home and demanded her to come out and like answer to what the thing she said about stolen land. Nobody did that to him. And you know that they're now Ted Cruz is now like running with the stolen land conversation on Capitol Hill. They're coming for Billy Isle. So that's their level. It could have been worse. There's level. It could have been worse. But and oh, and oh, by the way, the land is stolen. Well, of course it is. And hold on. And by the way, just because she's saying you can't just because she's saying that we live on stolen land doesn't mean that she didn't buy property and live in it. The land was already stolen. She's not saying that it's all going to give it back to my point to my point. There's levels. He didn't get destroyed, right? Yeah, but to my point, it's all intentionally going after people who are on the right side. But it's also remember you have groups of people who are continually trashed and shit on. They have a right to be sensitive. They don't they don't get seen. The issues don't get heard. And oh, by the way, we're living in a time where the federal government is taking the achievements of black Americans out of history books, out of museums, closing news. That's like the focus should be on going after them, not Shabuzy. But it's a waste of time. And it's not a waste of time because now we're having a great conversation. Now people are actually having the convo. Well, we are. That's what we do. And when you have a platform and you make a mistake and when you're a celebrity, I don't mind people coming for you and making you be like, yo, let me clean that up. I screwed that up. I hurt some people. I'm a big rich celebrity. I'm on television and I didn't handle something right. Not my intent. Right. We got to stop. We got to stop acting like. No, no, I'm kept. Stop. I'm kept an apology. I'm going to go. Listen, after the segment, you're going to want to apologize tomorrow because they will. Should I plan a first? Plan a for tomorrow or plan a for tomorrow show because they bought the cook. Oh, God. How do we get here? We need to get to the gurus. We are. Let's do it. All right. The original gurus at gmail.com. Burn the sage, e-brow. All right. Let's go. Wait, when you say you got to give me like a beat to Zen Zen Zen. Like, isn't it? I just before I was invited into this guru thing, there was like space for Shawnee to go. Wow. Now I just get rush past. You know what? I'm kind of why you keep glossing over my moment and my contribution. There we go. There we go. All right. isolation The original gurus at gmail.com, the original gurus at gmail.com, your destination for clarity. Here we go. Some words of encouragement are needed. Howdy gurus, I'm a 33 year old gay first generation Mexican American from Texas. Okay, you got man, you got the odds of stacked. It's a lot of things going on. Okay. 33 year old gay first generation Mexican American. It was really the Mexican American in Texas part that was like, okay, what you got going on my guy, you need our help. Really? I would say the gay and Mexican and in America. I would. I meant the whole company's. Okay. Go ahead, P. I spent 10 years as a manager of people at Big Box retail store. Okay. I decided I didn't want to do the dance anymore. So I quit in 2024. My idea was to start my own business. But I didn't have a plan before I quit. I hit the button. If you're out here on a dance floor, you got to be. Congratulations. You played yourself. You got a plan. You got to plan your next move before you get off the dance floor, man. Come on. All right. So what now? I'm beyond lost. I gave up my career was ejected from a four year relationship. I'm unmotivated as my trust in the world windows by the day. I discovered copywriting as a career along the way, but haven't had the guts to pitch my services because I feel like an imposter, especially because I'm the son of immigrants that never went to school. I'm in need of words of encouragement because I admire y'all much love and thank you for all you do. Baby, oh, the show baby, oh, baby, oh, let's start the grad, let's start the, um, encouragement for this again. Congratulations. You played yourself first of all, baby, oh, go get a job. Okay. Go get a job that allows you to have a job. And then work on the other thing on the side. You know what I'm saying? That's right. We all did it. You know, I get a go ahead and go back to school if you need to, uh, whatever this next career path that you're looking at, go ahead and, you know, maybe get an internship, uh, an apprenticeship, whatever you can get to meet people show up if there, if there's an annual gathering of what is he trying to be? Copyright? He said he's in the copywriting potential. Is that like what is, what is that? Is that like for TV writing copy for commercials? Uh, that's what I would imagine. Yeah. But if there's an annual gathering of people who do this, go to it, visit. But in the meantime, you're going to need a job. And being a first generation immigrant is not something that you should be worried about. Laura's first generation, you know what I mean? Yeah. And I don't know. Laura, did your parents go to school? Like were they big, highly, you know, higher education college, university professors? My mom did. Yeah, my mom was a teacher, but just that she graduated from college and she became a teacher. My dad, nope. My dad was fixing colors. So, you know, I don't think you should be, you're making up reasons to feel insecure about who you are. You know what I mean? Um, there's a lot of people who are first generation and maybe you go educate yourself so you don't have to worry about your parents. It's not about your parents' education. It's about you. Yeah, man. I think you need to believe a little bit more in yourself. You've got this and you know what you want, but you need a job to pay the bills to get you fed. You might have said a leaving text. Maybe that's also dampening your, you know, spirit a little bit. But before he does that, he probably should like work a little bit and save some money. So when he moves, he's prepared. You need to have some money in the stash. And maybe you could just like get a job at a place where copywriting is a thing that exists there, but you just get a job doing whatever you could do there. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So one day you could find your way to that, but your job might initially be taking out the trash or doing whatever it is to just get you in the door and give you some income. There you go. Yeah. And people appreciate also if you tell me I want to learn this, I want to do this. This is why I'm here. They're like, well, you're taking out the trash. You want to move up? All right. Somebody will be like, this is dope. I believe in you. Let's work on this on the side. But we all agree though, get a job to pay your bills because no matter what you want to do, you're going to need some money in the stash. So I hope that helps sending you a lot of love, the gurus. Harp or clothes and clothes. There we go. There was someone who, well, how long ago did that? Some some person say that the drops, the management of drops needs to go back to Rosenberg? Who's that from yesterday? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know where it would show us from. Yesterday the day before I saw the comments. Well, there you go. Here you guys go. You have evidence now. Rosenberg on the drops today. My, my, my board is still struggling. Get you an eye patch. I gave you the eye patch, connect, right? Or the, the app again, now I can't, I want more sound, sound board. You said I don't want to end it. You're already ruined it. You're already ruined it. You're already ruined it. Guys, I want to apologize for my statements earlier about Shabuzie. I think he absolutely should apologize. Can we, can you roll my apology into his? Yo Shabuzie, do a PS. Listen, I get where people are frustrated. Because it's like it's bed. I get your point. It's really get your man to. I just so bad. I think when it's bed, I'm accustomed to when it's chaotic and everyone's emotional, everyone's emotion. And so I just, you know what I should, I wish it was an interview. I wish it just did an interview and had a conversation about it. I don't know that someone who's intention is clearly right, required the statement as it can harm. He could have a conversation. But you're assuming that A, he wants to continue this and give audio and video more of audio and video to it and B, that like he's super well versed in it. He was trying to do a nice thing and take a stand as somebody as a black man who gets plat, his name gets played with and he got, you know, and he's the child of immigrants. And he's a child of immigrants. Yes. He says it. That's right. Yeah. And so he's close to that. But he's, it's complicated for him because he's also a black man. Right. And so that, that also is a, it's, it's, it's a new space to be in and people make mistakes. And that's okay. And I think apologizing is good. You know what I'm saying? But if you're going to be honest with him, if you want to be on a public platform, hit prepare for people to launch outrage in your direction without giving you grace because they assume because you have a platform, you're not supposed to make mistakes. Right. And get prepared to be comfortable apologizing. That's it. It's okay. We're all human. Hi guys. Subscribe. Subscribe with the like. Man, hit the heart and like buttons. We need the like buttons for the algorithm up, man. That's right. See you tomorrow. Speak Friday. You don't call it a project.
