There's also Well you know me There's also I'm very competitive So I wanted you to go around And see what else is out there Before you check in With a show That's actually put Something together for you If we're running on time That's our That's our biggest problem Getting people in here Getting their headphones on Getting things You know together And being on time Hey bro For the price I'm getting paid Me surviving Getting out of my bed today Is a god damn miracle Well listen If you're trying to get Pay from this program You may not show up anymore If it's about money This is Rosenberg's last show. Thanks for coming out. It was a good time. No, me just being here. Today last night was the night, bro. It's like, it's hard. He's going through something tough, and I've been through it, so I feel him. Having a baby and a senior dog at the same time is very hard. No, it's not easy. I'm sure there's people watching right now. They're like, wah, putting up wah emojis because they've done it like 90 times. Well, I guess what? For the people who've done it 90 times, it's actually easier, though. Yeah, probably, right? So, like, I don't think they relate. I honestly have decided I don't talk to people who have a bunch of kids about my hard times because they're not going to get it. They don't remember. It's weird how the human brain works, too. No, that's why they keep having more. Right, because you don't remember that that first one was definitely hard. Or it was not as hard as you thought it would be. And so you went and had another one. And the second one was a disaster at the toddler stage or the infant-toddler stage. Yeah, I've heard that that can be the case, too. But, yeah, we've been going through it for a while. I mean, listen, the baby's great. Last night she was not great. Last night she was a nightmare. It was a 4 a.m. to 5.30 full-on hysterics. I had to do the – I actually had a moment where I had to follow what they taught you in the hospital. Do you guys remember in the hospital they make you watch the video? Yeah. They at least did for me the shaking baby video. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah, yes. And they make you watch it. Hey, bro, will you help me find this thing? Where's my thing go? I'm sorry. I need help. It was here and now it's lost. I'm always trying to find the thing. He's trying to plug in his headphones. That's what's happening. Follow the wire for me. I had to remember the Shaken Baby video, which is they had a thing that when I saw it, I thought was so absurd until you live it, which is if the baby's going completely insane, put the baby down and walk away. I hit that this morning. It was a, I'm going to set you down. I'm gonna go in the other room and I'll be right back because I was trying to get the she peed through everything right so now I gotta get the sleep sack off and the outfit off new diaper, new outfit, new sleep sack at 4 something a.m. and you know you're still hoping you're gonna get back to sleep but you may not be but you're still fighting through it so the hysterics the hysterics when I went to put the try to get the new sleep sack on was like you're not getting this sleep sack on this sleep sack is going to be the death of me and I will not let you get it on fighting and screw and I mean bloody murder and I don't know if Ibro you have this experience at all but like when I'm trying to do things I'm hoping I can do it without Natalie coming in yeah of course but then she'll hit a certain if they hit a certain blood curdling I'm like that's it now you know mom's coming now we're both in trouble now I didn't get the job done and we're both grass because of this and also Natalie struggles to go back to sleep more than I do so we try to avoid her getting up because I can generally do a bunch even feed her get back in bed and fall back to sleep whereas once she's up she's up so you haven't gotten how old's Maya now a year and three weeks you haven't gotten the trust where if the baby's crying you hear Nat Nat doesn't go you need help There's not like a You need help or you got this It's well our Back to our stupid apartment The hallway is kind of far So you can't just go It requires a full on yell It's like you got this It's annoying I thought I liked it That's why I liked the apartment I was like it's cool it has hallways She assumes I have it She just assumes I have it But if it hits that blood curdling Where it sounds like the baby is hurting And I held her. I know. And I'm like, what's going on? She's uncomfortable. She's tired. Same thing going on with you. Same thing going on with you at the same time. I know. That's what's going on. We're tired. I'm angry. I'm angry. I don't want to be bothered. Why are you bothering me? But clean me. But clean me. And also, she probably wants a bath. She doesn't want to just get a diaper on and a new outfit. Yeah. But it's 4.30 in the morning, so I'm like, I'm not putting you in the bath at the second. I'm putting you in a diaper, giving you a dry outfit. I'm going to wipe you down. Give me a wipe down and drop you in the bed and hope it works out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyways, I won't bore you anymore. Sometimes you just got to talk to them and be like, listen, you're going to have to work through this, my dick. Listen, I think of you in those moments, and I'm like, I'm trying to talk to you like you're 30. You have to. And what else you got? You can't yell. You can't. What are you going to do? Well, what about the scream back move that you like? The wah, wah. We doing the wah, wah. I'm mad, too. I do that. I do that. We're all mad. Everybody's mad. Wah. You want a wah? I'll wah. Wah. But no, it's hard. Everyone out there lies. Maybe some people have an easier time. Maybe the first year is easier for some people. They just don't talk about it. You think that's what it is? Or if you really think about it, a year and three weeks in, how many of those nights have you had? Not many. That's why you forget. The truth is we haven't had that many. I just find the overall collection of everything, toll on relationship you know me us having work transition pressure move the collective I have the other job going we're now working harder at this job than we were working at the other job for free so the collection of everything well listen there is the reality that we can wrap this up this week why would you say that I'm just putting it on the table so everybody knows that we don't have to. Because he's saying there's a 20% part of him that kind of feels like doing it at times. Oh, my God. Well, no, I'm just like, I don't want people to feel like we have to. We do. Do we? Well, because we're already down the road, and we want to give this a shot in earnest. And we want to do this. That's all I'm saying. If you want to do it, stop bitching. That's one thing. The chat is cooking us right now. I know. The chat is so mad at us right now. Meanwhile, our level of commitment is really to the people. Right. Well, and why are they mad at us, Laura Stout? No, because we're talking about maybe quitting. They're like, what are you saying? I just subscribed. I just gave you my Patreon. I think we just got another. Yo, there's somebody that's like, what do you mean you're quitting? I haven't even got my T-shirt yet. We just had a 50 in the super chat. I know. I gave you $50 yesterday to make it clap. Reading the amount of comments from people that are just like seemingly just discovering us. Yeah. Yo, one of our good friends hit me up yesterday and commented something about the other show. Okay. Actually, I might as well say it because it's hilarious. He goes, yo, no, in all seriousness, how did Shani get an entirely new voice? Yes. Which I don't want to. Like he had vocal. He removed vocal cords and replaced them with new ones. Well, Shani's voice was messed up for a long, long time. And now it's Christmas. No, but people think he literally sounds like a new man has shown up. Yeah. That's how crazy it is. Well, he's doing the dance. That's just beyond dance. Your dance can't change your vocal cords. No, it's a different kind. Shani's doing that dance. Yo, they got a black fact every day? No, every day? Yeah, I tuned in this morning. They were teasing a black fact coming up. Oh, my God. Anyways, so our friend, though, hit me up, and I go, hey, respectfully, why are you not rocking with us? He's like, oh, y'all are on? I said, yeah, bro, every day, 8 a.m. But how would he know? I would think on our socials. I guess people aren't seeing the socials. He may not be on social media like that. He posts every once in a while. he sees my stuff like he may not see his stuff yeah that is true we don't know you don't know if the algorithm you may only see like race baiting or you know bad bunny clips he might not be doom scrolling you know what i mean no it's just doom scrolling you don't see just like your friends posting their new venture that's right but i still get people be like man i miss you every day you're part of my machine and i was like you know we're live every day and they're like oh my god this is amazing so people are but the other part is too like for a thousand years you could just get in your car and stuff is on. If you want to check the Ebro Laura Rosenberg show, you got to think a couple of steps. You got to hit a YouTube. You got to connect to Bluetooth if it's not already connected. You got to actually opt into this. And that's more work for people. Well, I heard from one of my most successful friends in life, my dear friend, Olivia Milch, who's a fantastic writer and director. And she has been checking it every day and was like, I love this version of the show. You guys just sound freer. Like I just hear the freedom in the show, which I thought was nice to hear. Yeah. I don't feel free. No, you feel more bound up by work. Well, also, previously, I only cared about my commitment to you guys. Otherwise, most days I wouldn't have shown up. I only cared about knowing, well, you guys are all working. We got to work. now we're actually invested in the entire operation because it's meaningful and people care about this. Meaning us. Whereas previously, beyond our show, the walls were falling down. Equipment didn't work. Yeah, there was no care. When you do an interview, the lighting's trash. Like no one else cared for the overall thing. The mics sound like trash. Yo, our mics sound way better. I tuned in for Meryl in the morning, everybody over there. have them fix your microphones i don't think they have anyone who knows how to do that you mean that airiness then they can't well and even it's supposed to be marrow in the morning his mic you can't even hear his mic like and then when they do interviews you know that mic position over there remember i used to complain that mic position which is why we never went in the studio anymore because they wasn't getting it right to sound right and to look right so when they are in the studio it just doesn't look good no our vibe would be good in the room but i would always be It's ironic we sound worse in the room. Yes. We are better off where we can control our own levels. So anyways, the point is we're invested now, and that's why you're more tired, because you said you don't feel freer. No, I don't feel more tired. What do you feel? You feel more invested? I feel refreshed. No, no, no, I don't feel free because I can't play the songs I want to play. Oh, that part, that part. There's things you can't play. You know what I mean? There was things we didn't have to think about. Yeah, that part was nice. That is the bonus of radio. I did a Dilla mix yesterday. Yesterday was 20 years, 20-year anniversary of Dilla's death. and I made a little mix, but I'm like, I was just going to throw it on the WANAP Patreon. We could throw it on our Patreon, but we can't put it out. We can't put that stuff out in the world like that. Do you want to put it on the Patreon? Well, I did it for my very under... You worry about us being underserved on this Patreon. The WANAP Patreon. They're in the desert. They're in the desert just waiting for a sprinkle of water. Yeah, we still have people who are that loyal. And I've been... Listen, that's another day. The me and Syph WANAP situation is another day. You want to do a Patreon about that Patreon? Listen, E-Boy Laura Rosenberg, make sure you like, subscribe, chat, all the things. We'll be shouting the Super Chat if you want to throw some cash in there. And I'm still uncomfortable with it. But, you know what I mean? We'll do the dance for you. Well, listen, I got a knee pad yesterday. Start dancing. Yeah, you gave the mic top. You know what I'm saying? Made a clap. It was crazy. And Griff hit us with the, I need eye contact. Oh, it was crazy. Yesterday was a wild day, bro. But, yeah, the Super Chat makes you dance. Laura hit the finger bang. Everyone's doing the dance. Oh, oh, oh. Hey. Now, speaking of scrolling on the gram, I don't know about y'all, but I'm still in the Bad Bunny vortex. I know. Of watching. So yesterday, I literally spent the entire day watching people watch the halftime. Oh, that's the new thing? Watch it. So they put up cameras to film their parents seeing Bad Bunny, which just had me in tears. Oh, my God. Because can you imagine if you are a Puerto Rican grandparent or anybody from a Spanish-speaking country that has worked their ass off to just be in this country, start a family, maintain a family, get your kids education, whatever. Hold on to your traditions. Hold on to your culture as much as you can. and boom at the biggest moment in like this society's entertainment calendar a kid from Puerto Rico gets up there and does a full set in Spanish highlighting culture yeah can you imagine what that feels like it's beautiful but that's what what I was saying yesterday when I was on threads and I was reading um all the people who felt like they never get get seen or celebrated. Like reading it got me all choked up. There was this one girl from Uruguay. She was like, they never mentioned us. And she was like, and I saw my flag. She's like the flag that was oozing out. Even just hearing. Even the people from other countries that just heard the shout out. The Belize flag, like everyone was celebrating. Oh man, the Haitian flag, the Belize flag. Shout outs, you know. Yo, Jamaican people hearing them shout it out with the Latin countries. Because you know, the Caribbean can be a little very divided based on language. Right, right. You know what I'm saying? So that was my whole day yesterday. Yeah. Dude, this sounds like my house. Yesterday, Natalie and I have restarted Mad Men. And I was like, hey, babe, can we start the episode? It's only bad money videos. Her algorithm is only that. So you're in the same place. Yes. It's every single video. It's either that and we'll get to it. Hi, I played a tree. I played a tree. Oh, I love the tree video. I also played a tree. I love the tree video. I love the tree video. I love the tree video. Wait, can we play the video, Ibra, about the story behind the wedding. Oh yeah, we got that. You got the Bad Bunny wedding story? Heartwarming, this is great. All right, I'm here for it. While this couple was planning their wedding, they jokingly sent an invite to a certain celebrity. Now this celebrity did not attend their wedding, but because they sent the invite, they had to scrap all of their wedding plans. This is such a crazy story. So Thomas and Alicia are a beautiful couple from Southern California. They've been together for a while and they got engaged in Cannon Beach, Oregon. They start planning their wedding, they send out all their invites, and they have 15 left over. They sent 14 of them to local businesses, and they decided to send one to a certain celebrity. They end up hearing from the celebrity's team, informing them that this person would not be attending their wedding, but they wondered if they could hop on a Zoom call. Now, Thomas and Alicia think this is odd, but they agree. So they get on the Zoom call and what this celebrity's team tells them absolutely shocks the couple. They get off the call and they realize we have to completely cancel all of our wedding plans. Now, why would they have to do that? It's because they were just informed that they're going to be getting married at the Super Bowl. So they sent an invitation to Bad Bunny because they chose one of his songs to be their first dance. The team reaches out to them, lets them know that Bad Bunny can't come to their wedding, but if they would like to get married at the Super Bowl, he would be happy to have them. And that's exactly what happened. Wow. So the wedding that you see during that Super Bowl performance is actually a real wedding. There was an engagement scene during the performance. There was the wedding scene during the performance. Bad Bunny is their legal witness, and he even signed their marriage license. Can you imagine sending out a wedding invite and then end up getting married during the most beautiful event in the country? This is an incredible story Jimmy Shout out to Thomas and Alicia He one of the very few content creators who I enjoy when he pops up on my feed Yeah because it like this is going to be nice Yes, it's going to be nice. And he's doing some level of service. He's finding a story that you probably could find yourself if you dug around, but you don't want to. He's doing the work for you and telling it to you in a nice way. It's a soothing tone. Yeah, shout to Global Mind. No, he does a good job, man. That's a really cool. Imagine having your wedding certificate Your marriage certificates I'm not married but does the witness Sign it? They do Wow fact If you did that Now I wonder if they really did Like cancel Their wedding to which I would have told them You guys could still have whatever wedding You're going to have and also do this Yeah I was thinking the same thing You don't need to not have a wedding anymore You can still have your friends and family and do that portion And show the video They're like the one prerequisite is Bad Bunny insists this is the only way you sell them. Nah. We have some breaking news I think we need to point out. Lou just sent this over. Laura, you saw it, right? We don't have a breaking news sounder. We need to do that. Can we get a breaking? We need some sort of breaking news. We got to change it up, though. Let's think of a good one. We don't want to do the same one we always did, right? It's something. All right. We don't have anything, but something. But we'll use this for now. Breaking news. I'm lovely. There you go. Okay. The FAA has halted all flights to and from El Paso Airport in Texas for 10 days. I'm confused. 10 days. Could extend it. And they could extend it. This hasn't happened since 9-11. The halting of flights to a place for an extended period of time. Don't they have an ICE facility in El Paso? Isn't that like one of the big... An army base. And an army base. What is happening? But I don't understand. Is there any more information? That's all it is. but I wanted to put that out there because of the military action and potential Department of Homeland Security action. They've halted all. Like, why? I don't understand. Yeah, I don't either. I mean, I guess we'll get more information. But, yeah, we want to pay attention to that. But, anyway, breaking news on the Ebro Laura Rosenberg show. Turn that drop up, man. It's too loud. Not that loud. That hurt my ears. Habla lay. There you go. Habla lay. Now, speaking of Bad Bunny, back to the Bad Bunny story. Can we have this investigation that's being levied against Bad Bunny? Have you guys seen this story? Yes. I was going to use it in the rundown, but let's do this because this is. It's not real. So the rundown deserves better. I mean, it is. That's the sad part. It's happening. Let's have it, Rasaan. Over to the Bad Bunny, bad performance of the Super Bowl halftime. We are still investigating this. There's a lot of information that has come out. about the lyrics. I saw the halftime show, and we're switching back and forth with the TPUSA halftime show. The lyrics, from what we have seen from Bad Bunny, are very disturbing. And if it holds true that, you know, I don't speak fluent Spanish, okay? I know how to ask where the bathroom is, but these lyrics, if it is true what was said on national television, We have a lot of questions for the entities that broadcast this. What's true? And we'll be talking about this. I don't know. Some sort of content that this is. This could be much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. Let's put it that way. But at least that was a malfunction. I mean, this was apparently intentional. This was intentional. Yeah. And they could not have said this were it in English. So just the fact that we're at a place in our country where we had a fully not understandable halftime show to English-speaking people, which is the language of this country, by the way, and that grotesque is just really disturbing. And here's the ironic part, Dr. Gina. The NFL purposely wanted a Hispanic star basically to perform at halftime because they're trying to attract more of a Latin America audience. And this is what they deliver. Yeah, trying to pull them away from the football that they call. I'd rather hear Megyn Kelly. I like Megyn Kelly's honesty about her white supremacy. You know what? Just say it. He's hinting at what the problem is. Why? I don't understand. These people that are obsessed with racism, can't you at least be honest about the greatest passion in your life? The greatest passion in your life is your pride in your white skin. You hate other people. Why? If you're obsessed with it, why don't you wear it on your sleeve? Why do they have to hide from it? This entire thing is that they're scared. They are losing the white identity of this country. It's making them freak out. It's making them freak out to the point that they had to elect someone who they worry. They know. They worry. Maybe like a child predator. may be like the most, he hates the Bible. They know he hates their Bible. He hates everything they stand for. But he likes white supremacy. But they had to go with him because that's how important this issue is. Yet they can't actually say it out loud. It's insane. We just watched that whole dance. He's not saying what he wants to say. No, and in his tweet, he's like, you know, Americans were forced to watch him gyrating. and I've seen tons of people gyrating I think he said something about Dave Borden and I was like what? It was insanity They just make up whatever If Bad Bunny was in the Epstein files they wouldn't be investigating him Because guess who's not getting investigated? Anybody in them Epstein files No it's a real thing And other than Bad Bunny Epstein chaos is on my timeline Yeah you really are my wife It's the exact same I saw a funny thing moving around to someone. That's their whole timeline also. Someone put up a video. It's just like doom scrolling Epstein nightmare. Then a mixed in people dancing to Chambaya. Like it's like, you know what I'm saying? But yeah, what was the biggest, is there anything new Epstein-y in the last couple of days? I mean, go ahead. Just Lane testified, right? No. No, no. She said apparently she could exonerate Trump if they're willing to change her sentence. They're outwardly saying, hey, I can come out and say that he did nothing if y'all let me out of jail. So that means there's another option. Correct. It's completely invalidated by the fact that it's even being discussed. But this morning, in the car, I saw a video of Boebert. Congresswoman Boebert was leaving a viewing of unredacted Epstein-file stuff. And, you know, she sucks. She's like Kid Rock's girlfriend. She's a nightmare. But anyways, she walked out. Is Kid Rock's girlfriend for real? That's what's speculated. Yeah. What? You haven't heard that? No, no, no. Anyways. She was the one who gave a handies in the theater to an expert. Yeah, I mean, respect. Which is fine, if that's what you're into. No, exactly. And it's very on brand for Kid Rock. Like she's kind of hot, but she's got a skanky reputation. It's very Kid Rock. So, but she, she, she had just seen some of the unredacted files and they were like, do you think that Maxwell should, you know, get the opportunity to blah, blah. And she was like, no, Maxwell needs more time and a harsher sentence. what I just saw as the most so like they know Maxwell should not be able to get out for anything there should be no sort of plea deal really available for her especially when you know that the president is the kind of person who would blatantly do a quid pro quo right in front of our face that's what he does so I hope that that doesn't happen you know in the UK maybe is it Spain also? France for sure. They are already investigating politicians that are in the Epstein files. My dad just told me that yesterday. He said Andrew Prince Andrew's lost like everything. They're taking away in Europe if you are like deeply in the Epstein files you're losing bank accounts. You're losing every opportunity. Everything's gone. They're taking it from everything. They're not playing any games with you. This is the only place. Nothing. Nothing. This is the only place where it doesn't matter. Wow. But think about it. Europe isn't a perfect place. We know that. But they don't believe in serving poison to their people also. That's right. We're fine with it here. We are the worst place in the world. Why do you think we're so loud about saying we're the best place in the world? It's because we're the worst. Because we're the worst. Right. At least the worst of the people who had the opportunity to be good. I'm sure there are worse places to live based on the lack of opportunity and money that they have. Now, if you're looking for a silver lining, there was a time when England and Britain or England, the UK, Europe, all of them, all of those countries have had their time where they were the worst. True. They're older now. They're older countries now. No, they have longer runs of it. And longer runs of it. Yeah. So if you're looking for a silver lining, maybe one day we will be honest about our white supremacy and racism. We will make being a Nazi in the Confederate flag actually illegal. And we will move forward and hold people accountable for corruption in the government at the highest levels. And not be and not try to. I remember what was the guy? What was the guy running for mayor that we had? Andrew Yang. When I asked him, I asked Andrew Yang, do you think Donald Trump should be held accountable for his crimes? And he said, no. this was before all the Epstein stuff and I was like everybody was afraid to have the United States look like a banana republic here we are if you don't this goes all the way back to the Civil War if you don't hold people accountable for their crimes that's just happening again that's what you are now yeah I saw same I have to be easy with all the ICE videos because they really upset me. But I saw this video of ICE agents tackling down deaf students. Nah, bro. Deaf students? Bottom of the barrel, Ebro. We are disgusting. Yes, deaf students because they're not complying. They're not listening. Oh, they weren't able to listen. Oh, so what I'm trying to get to is do you think that there will be a time where these ICE agents will be held accountable? No. Based on history, no, Laura. No. January 6th, they stormed a federal building on live. It was on live television. Across the world. The entire world saw it. Remember, they wiped doo-doo on the walls. It was documented. They had zip ties. They beat up cops. They killed people. Yeah. They got off. They were exonerated. So, no, I don't know what would have to happen for people to get held accountable. Isn't it ill though? It sort of feels like America, you know, has been a disaster in many ways forever. But, and you and I have argued about this some, but I believe it was trending in the right direction. Maybe too slow, but I thought it was going. You mean Obama era? Heading towards post, I mean just generally speaking, there were ups and downs. Like if you looked at the chart, right, there were definitely downs and ups and blah. But we were generally, the chart was slowly going the right direction. And then we went, I think we're really good. Oh, no, we were post-racial, remember? It's time to get. We had a black president. Racism's over. It's time to get what we like to call post-racial, baby. Let's do it. Congratulations. No, no, listen. We're going to move in easy, okay? We're not going to start with an American black man. That's too much. Too much. Too much fear. The white man has too much fear of them banging his wife. We're going to go with it. We're going to go with a mixed kid and his dad's from Kenya. His dad's African. Culturally, he's basically just Hawaiian, okay? He likes basketball, but we're going to try it. I think we're going to be fine. And that was enough to send us back to goddamn pre-Civil War. That was it. Yeah, that was it. That's how racist it is. Working for the idea of the nation looking up towards a biracial black man sent us completely back to prehistoric times. We are so embarrassing. Anyways, what else we got? Well, there was a video we showed two days ago of Mike Tyson's commercial during the Super Bowl. Oh, you want to rehash? Well, because I didn't think the commercial was that bad. No, we all said, well, Laura didn't say much, but Ebro and I were like, this isn't bad. No, and I didn't think it was that bad. I still don't think it's that bad. But then we got comments that were like, nah, y'all missed it. It was bad. And what exactly did we miss? I think they're calling people fat, right? Budgie or whatever word he used. Yeah, first of all, let's not even get to how bad the actual spot is from a production standpoint. But he was associating being overweight with being disgusting. Okay. Okay, yeah. That's not. We could talk about being unhealthy. Yeah. But using things like fat and disgusting. But see, I thought he was just talking about himself. Should we watch it again? or which video do we have over there Bascom do we have the explanation of the Tyson video or the actual Tyson video I don't think Bascom has it no he does he said he needed two minutes I kind of took it like Ibra I thought he was just talking about himself he was he was using himself as the example but it's a very it's an oversimplification of overweight people in this country and it's pretty and then he's He's a spudgy. I guess it didn't hit me like that. I thought he was just talking about himself. And so some people have weight issues, and it's not because of their food. It has nothing to do with their food, exercise, none of that. Yeah, and some people have issues to do with their food, and it's deeper than they just want to eat all the time. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah, let's see. All right, let's see. I was so fat and nasty. I would eat anything. I was like 345 pounds, a quart of ice cream every hour. I had so much self-hate when I was like that. I just wanted to kill myself. We're the most powerful country in the world, and we have the most obese, fudgy people. There's a lot to be said about this ad, not least of all the fact that decades of data have shown us that moralizing food and shame-based messaging, like using the terms fat and nasty or fudgy people, whatever that means, are not helpful. This is well-established. Shame and stigma-based messaging around diet do not improve health behaviors and are consistently linked to worse eating patterns, disordered eating and poor mental health. But what I really want to focus on is this line. Something has to be done by processed food in this country. This aired during the Super Bowl alongside commercials for Dunkin Donuts, Lay's Potato Chips, Michelob Ultra, Pringles, Budweiser, Pepsi, Skittles, Hellmann's Mayonnaise, Ritz crackers, tortilla chips, and Raisin Bran. If we are serious about improving how Americans eat, we have to start with reality. Americans do not struggle to eat well because they've not heard enough shame-based messaging. They struggle because we built a food environment designed for profit, not health. Highly palatable, convenient, aggressively marketed foods dominate our landscape because they make industry a lot of money. Meanwhile, more healthful foods are far less accessible for millions of people. This is not an accident. It's the predictable outcome of policy choices and an unwillingness to meaningfully regulate powerful industries. And more broadly, health is largely shaped by income, food access, social supports, environment, and access to education and healthcare. These are the forces that determine what people are realistically able to eat, and you cannot shame someone out of structural constraints. If we truly want people to eat more nutrient-dense foods, shame-based messaging during a football game is not the solution. It requires building a society where the healthier choice is the easier, more affordable, and more accessible choice. It requires policies that strengthen the main drivers of health and willingness to rethink systems that currently prioritize corporate profit over health until that happens food manufacturers will continue producing and aggressively marketing the food that generate the greatest profit and people will continue to eat what is most available and accessible and this maha movement which protects industry k nurick i think is her name she has she has a great account i got a great follow yeah um everything she saying is absolutely right The whole science behind shame messaging messaging and all that Fine absolutely right I still think and once again She's absolutely on point with all the other ads That you're seeing I think this is rooted in who put the ad up This is rooted in a shot at RFK And Maha With good reason Yeah yeah yeah for sure But you're saying not because of the words that were used No the words weren't great But it was also still Mike Tyson doing Mike Tyson. Listen, I love Mike. He's a flawed individual. Yes. But I have a lot of love for Mike. You realize what it says about your organization, that that was the best commercial you thought you could put together at the Super Bowl? Was having Mike use the word fudgy? That was the best they could do. The biggest platform, you're going to spend the most money to deliver a message. And they thought they were like, this is so important. Yeah, because it's Mike Tyson. They have everybody on their side. And the expectation is that the government is supposed to use their intellect and science and specialists to craft and information to craft commercials and messaging for the public. The reason Mike Tyson was obese wasn't just because he was feeling lazy and wanted to eat a bunch of ice cream. Right. He's got serious trauma and mental health issues, which probably led him down a path of. Well, specifically in that era in his life, it was after his young daughter was killed. Well, there you go. He gained that weight in the worst time of his life. Well, there you go. It lasted for like 18 months, and then he got really healthy and lost weight. Right. Yeah. That wasn't the average. You're right. He's not even the right person for the message. Mike has been a freakish athlete his whole life. That's right. Now, he does, without working out, lean towards being a heftier guy. That's kind of who he is. But he's also one of the most famous athletes of all time. That's what I'm saying. They were just happy to have a celebrity. He's not a regular person, is my point. And none of that was based in science. So I feel the blowback on the Mike Tyson ad is valid. And it's based in people being like, you're the government of the United States. What the F are you talking about? You don't even have scientists up there. The scientists have quit or you fired them. Yeah. And real quick, I'm just curious. It's like one hand doesn't wash the other. this administration is removing so much red tape to make it easier for us to be fed poison. Yes. We are less healthy. They are literally allowing something like less restrictions on baby formula. Everything we put in our body. Can I tell you what doesn't help people's health? Stress and chaos from the top that's constantly spinning us into an emotional, chaotic mess every single day. That's a great point. Yeah, and on top of it, nutrition. And then you have all the other stuff. Right. Unemployment, things being too expensive, right? All of the things. So you can't even, as a government, keep things calm and focused so that people can have a seemingly emotional healthy day. Right. You have complete and utter chaos. you're allowing poison in all of our food you you you don't even believe in the vaccines that can keep us healthy we're seeing diseases that haven't existed in decades make come there's like 900 cases of measles in south carolina because y'all have scared people out of mmr and their polio shots and you think mike tyson and an apple is going to make that better you know what the f is wrong with these people so i think that's congratulations what the blowback is so when we watch the ad i'm looking at Mike Tyson talking about his health. I'm not putting it all together. I got into an argument with a friend of mine because she was posting her smoothie at Erewhon and I was like, why the hell are you giving him any money? What's wrong with Erewhon? Them smoothies are like $29. I just think that stores like Erewhon boiled my blood because it's elitist bullshit. Go for it, Laura. Because it is. Especially in a place like, okay, it's popular in Los Angeles, but do you know how many food deserts Los Angeles had? has actually... I've never been to Erewhon. So it's basically a smoothie king for the rich? No, not just smoothies. It's an actual supermarket where you can buy a gallon of raw milk for $37. Eggs will cost you $48. And I'm just making up these prices, but this is how ridiculous they are. I've had an Erewhon smoothie on delivery. I've never been in it. I didn't know it was a store. When you were in LA. Yeah, in LA. But they have one out here. I think it's inside Keith Ivy. Yeah, it's some Which is a private club, by the way. Everything is for rich people. So if you want quote unquote super healthy stuff, oh, you have to pay. So Laura's really mad at her friend. I just feel like. Well, no, it's very douchey. It's just a douchey move. Yes. Because people do. And you should even know, Erwan is already a punchline just on account of what Laura's saying. So there's a double whammy. Number one, why are you a douche? Number two, you don't realize that showing off that you're eating Erwan is even more douchey? Yes. How do you not have the presence of Mike's? Everyone knows it's douchey. Why would you celebrate this? People are like, ooh, how cool. No, it's not. Laura's on our game. It's terrible. Also, you can't just go to a regular place and get a smoothie. In terms of looking for a healthy option, I'm sure. No, because they want the triple organic. Come on. And that's why I hate them. I hate them. I hate all those elitist grocery stores. I think it's a joke. You know what I'd like to really do some research on? I'd like to know, and I'm sure there's an app for this. But like what are the healthiest places If you're on the go And you have to eat Like what are the legitimate healthiest places to go You know what I'm saying Are you saying like a restaurant Or what are you saying I'm leaning more towards like chainish restaurants That you might see everywhere Not fast food because we know none of them are healthy But like for example In my brain I'm like oh I don't want to be too bad I'm going to have Joe and the Juice Is Joe and the Juice not bad Or is it straight track What are you having at Joe and the Juice? I think that's the piece. Well, it is the piece, but also do they just have healthy ingredients? I'm not talking about fattening or not. I'm not talking about calories. I'm talking about eating healthy food. Like, is this food okay? Is this food good? Yeah, you don't know. And by the way, the labeling, you don't know if it's real or not. There's a lot of things you don't know. That's why, like, you obviously, a lot of oils, a lot of sauces, fried, you're done. Anything with a lot of oils, sauces, got sugars and things in them. and fried foods, you're in trouble. But I'm saying even when you go to the place that you believe are healthy, a Just Salad, a Sweet Green, a Joe and the Juice, the ones that are brand, their brand is we're supposed to be healthier. I know. How many of them are also just giving you poison? Well, I look at it like we choose to shop at like a Whole Foods or a Trader Joe's because there's like healthier options. But then, you know, Amazon bought over Whole Foods. So that's a whole different thing there. I've seen like all these like nutritional like breakdowns of all these like influencers saying, this is terrible, this is bad, this is why. And I'm just like, you think you're doing it Oh, the Yuka app? Yeah, I need the Yuka app How do you spell it? Y-U-K-A It's useful, right? Yeah, I do it a lot You scan the food item And it scores it for you health-wise Yeah, that sounds good Until they want to make some money And then, you know, they're giving you bad information Because whoever bought the company Oh, Ibra, I got a dope one for you yesterday That I heard yesterday Listen, all you can do Look, your best bet is to eat as clean and lean as possible. That's your best bet. No, no, I know. And you're going to get some poison, okay? You've been getting it your whole life. And then you go to like the- There's a few rat turds in there that are allowed by the FDA. Just know it. Maybe a few more now. Maybe a few more. They were like, we're tired of the red tape. A little more rat poop. You know what I'm saying? But you know the fruits and vegetables. Now, there was this guy who was like, if you look at the code at the beginning, it'll tell you if it's actually organic or not. What? I thought because the sign said organic, I'm buying organic. No, no, no. Some of it could be GMO. Some of it is sprayed with some, you know, pesticide that was just cleared. Rosemar, you just don't know anymore. So this is unrelated to food, but I just thought you'd appreciate this. My dad sent me an article from somewhere yesterday. It was an opinion piece of basically saying how America is a complete fraud. if economically America was more like the NFL, how much better as a society we would be. Meaning, I'm not talking about the business of the NFL, but how the NFL is actually a socialist construct. And it's funny that everyone loves- Oh yeah, because it's all shared. Profits. All shared profits. Yeah. The Cowboys make the same money from the TV deal that the Carolina Panthers make, and the Panthers are never on TV. If your team sucks, what happens? Get a high draft pick the next year. We're going to give you the best opportunity to lift yourself up. Everything is done. Everything is done in a way that's supposed to make everyone equal and fair. Why? Because you won a good game. You can't be the Cowboys and say, hey, you know, we make the most money. We do the most for this league. We'd like to have 13 players on offense, not 11. Can't do that. But in big business, Target and Walmart and Amazon, they get to change all the rules and the little guy just keeps losing. And yet we somehow think that we're going to have a healthy economy or ever do well. And not only that, they villainize the idea of doing things in this way. But our favorite pastime by a mile is a complete socialist construct to make sure everyone can be healthy. And guess what happened this year? no Chiefs, no Eagles. We got the Seahawks and the Patriots. Who two years ago were the worst teams in the NFL. You wouldn't have thought they'd have any business in there. While he says all that, they're bashing their brains in and might have some brain... That's a separate point that's absolutely true. But guess what all that was going to land on? But guess what we're doing right here in American society? We're still bashing our brains in or getting our brains bashed in by the federal government or ICE agents or the police and nobody's being held accountable. just like the NFL. Great point. At least they get paid well. At least they know what they're getting. That's right. They opted in. They opted in. They're going to be rich and hopefully stay healthy, but that's a different story. Laura, you ready for the rundown? Yeah, let's go. With Laura Style? Let's go! Oh, man! Laura got the rundown, turn that up. Screens on glow when she pulls up. Yeah. Yeah. So it looks like Drake and McDonald's might have something going on. So new posters have been popping up all over Toronto with the owl and the Mickey D's logo. So possibly a new meal, new merch, new menu. Something. I mean, you know. Something on the way for the Iceman. I think he's gearing up for... You said at McDonald's? Yeah, Drake and McDonald's. So just as we were... Talking about how unhealthy. So real quick. And of all the collabs. See, I was not going to say anything. Drake is fast food Drake already makes fast food Nah damn I thought I was going to get through this story and we weren't going to go anywhere Go anywhere bad Go bad on Drake on this No no I'm not going to crush him but When Travis did that it was the most Gross It's just like A lot of artists did it though didn't they McDonald's Like a J Balvin, Travis Scott I mean J Balvin Who else? Saweetie Some of the true greats Yeah, yeah. You're a bad guy. No, I mean, listen. You're a bad guy, man. Travis will not say no to a check. He will not. I think Travis is a really talented dude, makes interesting music. He will not say no. I just want the audience to know I'm holding back, man. No, listen, you should. You're more corporately connected than I am. No, no, no. That's not why I'm holding back, because I don't want to be a Drake hater on this. Oh, on the Drake part. Okay, I get it. Yeah, no, I'm just saying. I'm more corporately connected than you are? I guess we're both corporate No, you're more corporately powerful than I am I guess we're both corporately connected I have one corporate job I've got multiple, but yours is a higher position It's a big one though I'm really holding back Don't say that, stop that You guys don't want to hold back You know what, Laura lay out Go ahead bro Hit him with a one shot, Ebro wants to go in I'm holding back No, no, guys, guys, guys I'm holding back You might as well not Well cause it was how Laura set it up Cause she was like The Iceman is doing a deal with Mickey D's That's like a double whammy bro Like why are you the Iceman Right now I thought he was cancelling the album on account of that I don't know But Laura set him up as the Iceman Is doing a deal with Mickey D's I thought he was no longer doing it Oh wait I'm gonna send you somewhere else I don't know if you guys saw this yesterday though He's like now following Donald Trump So everybody kept posting Who is? Drake Come on man Why are you making this so hard bro? Is this on IG or Twitter? On IG He followed Donald Trump on IG? Yeah That's recent? I mean people were pointing it out I don't know if it's a recent follow And I went and checked Yep he is Listen a lot of people follow Donald Trump That's fact A lot of people who hate Donald Trump follow Donald Trump Yes That's fact You know like Yes I've always seen people follow the president just because they want to know what the hell he's saying. Yeah. I've seen that too. However, Drake. Now, look, he's not an American citizen, so maybe he wants to be able to move around without any problems. I think he moves around fine. Could be. We don't know. I don't know. I know. I just thought that. He moves around fine. So I don't follow Donald Trump. Me neither. I might follow him on Twitter. I went and looked, though. I don't follow him on IG for sure. I follow POTUS, and I'm unfollowing that. Yeah. President of the United States. Because POTUS switches up with everybody. Just like the mayor. That's if we ever have another president. Well, I'll follow again. Do I follow Trump? No, I don't follow Trump. Do I follow POTUS? That's a good question. You follow POTUS for sure. You think I do? Why wouldn't you? You've probably been following since. No. You don't follow POTUS? No. On IG, I don't. On Twitter, I didn't. No follow for POTUS from me. Anyways. You get nothing. Rebel. Rebel. Renegade. Must stay paid. In other news, Rosenberg Ebro's not going to care But Britney Spears sold her entire catalog I don't care either For like 200 million dollars I'm happy for her Britney just makes me sad, man Natalie loves Natalie's of that age, she loves Britney of that day And she was watching the Super Bowl commercial, her Pepsi commercial Bruh Her moment at that time You forget, like we do forget how big Britney got At her, I know you didn't care and you were completely checked out and anti, so was I. But I was also 20, so it was just in my orbit. She was like just almost as big as you could possibly be. And then literally later that night on my Instagram, I saw in the algorithm her dancing with knives and looking sweaty. And I'm like, what the happened? I got into an argument back when she was in her prime. Not in her prime. Like, what was the oops I did again? That was her second album. Whatever it was. And I said, she's going to end up crazy and doing porn. And when you look back at her interviews, they were so inappropriate. Like the way people talked to her. No, no, no. Listen, it's not on her. I do not blame Britney Spears for anything. It's the way I feel about Bieber. If this started with you when you were literally too young to make choices yourself, it's very hard for me to ever fully hold you accountable in the way I do someone who decides when they're 17, 18 years old. I'm going to go for it now and build a career. Bieber hasn't done anything too bad. No, no, no, but he's had his moments of bad. Yeah, like the drug stuff or whatever, but I think mostly Bieber's story is people taking advantage of him, right? Yeah, but he had a racist video back in the day, an N-word joke that he told. He had this, he had that. He can just be, he's had moments where he definitely comes off like an a-hole when you see him from a distance. not my experience with them but i always have empathy for people who just never got a chance to choose you know and britney listen i used to talk mad ish back in the day too don't get me wrong oh she's overrated you guys see girls like britney spears in ocean city every day but then i went back and watched the pepsi commercial i was like all right she was her she had a thing going at that time there's no way around it the brand was on the other part for me I think when I first I never was a fan of the whole dressing up as a Catholic school girl and being flirty Never No you were very you were very you always said that I've never liked it. I've always, I've been like. But again, not her. No, that's the societal thing, right? Like that's a cultural thing. She didn't come up with the concept of. I'm going to dress up as a Catholic school girl and look slutty. I would always like, why? And then they shot the video at like a high school. At a high school. And it's just like, when you look back, you're like, what? And then even that Pepsi Super Bowl commercial, the whole theme of it, it's a few years later. She's like definitively adult at this point. She's like whatever, 21. The whole theme of the video while she's looking hot is it's showing people watching on TV like tongue out of their mouth. Like older men being like, ugh. Like they just, it's nasty. So I'm happy that she's got her, she got her publishing or sold her publishing? Sold. For 200 million? Yeah. That's a good amount of... They're saying that's the number, 200 million. I would say for what Britney's music catalog is, which is not that great, although I will say, take this back. Her value probably just went up. I don't know if you're aware of this yet, Ebro, maybe you would be. Toxic is very hot for young kids again. Oh, they rediscovered it, yep. Toxic has become... Issa definitely knows Toxic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Toxic has become like a forever hit, Which I hated toxic at the time I as a DJ cuz you have to play it at my college gig I'd have to play toxic and it just like the way it started was so that Could not stand that record But I like but no, it's a good right. It's it's it's lasted. It's it's actually It's the one and I'm confused Max Martin wrote a I just had to Google Max Martin who's obviously still very active in music and having tons of success. He wrote a lot of those Britney Spears records. So he benefited from, so when they say Britney Spears sold her catalog, is that $200 million for her? Because she didn't, from the way it's written, I wasn't in the studio, so clearly I don't know. Maybe it's just her writing portion. Maybe that's her portion is $200 million. That's still phenomenal. That's a lot of money. That would be a lot of money if you didn't write those records. It's a lot of money. And they probably gave her publishing at a certain point because she was an entity. So sometimes artists like a Britney Spears or Whitney Houston, these big artists, because they're doing your song, you have to give them some publishing. Right. Even though they don't actually put pen to paper or come up with any idea. Yeah, but now you're so valuable in the process, you deserve the credit too. That's right. So listen, I just hope I always thought the sneaky Weird part about the Britney story and her conservatory Was It's terribly messed up But based on the videos I saw I was like it kind of seems like Or conservatorship Based on the videos I saw It kind of felt like she needed help I'm not saying her parents were doing that And two things can be true at the same time She could need the help and people could be taking advantage of that I think that's the most likely scenario Yeah, yeah, yeah Well, so let's see. Is that the rundown with Laura Stout? That is it. Anything for the lowdown today? Well, the lowdown was supposed to be them trying to come after Bad Bunny, trying to investigate him. He just wants to play the music. It doesn't really matter. For the lowdown with Laura Stout. So are you telling me I took your story earlier? That's exactly what he's saying. Do you want me to redo part of the tweet? Yeah, go ahead. It's time for the lowdown with Laura Stout. Just part of the tweet. This Congressman Andy Ogles from Tennessee, right? He wrote, the Apple Music halftime show was pure smut. Smut? Nah, this is crazy. It easily aired on national television for every American family to witness. Children were forced into explicit displays of gay sexual acts. What? There was one gay dance move. You saw the one gay dance move, right? Women gyrating provocatively. It didn't. Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry humping the air. No, stop. Stop. Stop The reach bro They might as well just say I was offended by how many times you said eh No one should say eh That many times And it goes on but it is disgusting How these people are I knew when they saw The girls dancing in front of the Casita and with all the Girls like shaking and twisting Well it's making them feel too much I knew that was going to get some blowback Even though every Every year it's like that Every year basically But I knew they were gonna Cause when you see black girls And latinas doing it No no do that That's when people You don't wanna say it like Megyn Kelly Latinas Latinas Fucking asshole I'm sorry Hey it's black history month Yes and we got a black fact We got a black fact today Let's see it Moving too quick for Rahsaan Sorry man Yes shout out to our friend Def Nat And follow him on Instagram He's a great creator If you live in South Carolina, do you know who this woman is? This woman in the middle right here. Her name is Septima Poinsett Clark. She was a teacher and organizer and one of the most important architects to the civil rights movement. She created a concept known as Citizenship School. She taught black voters how to read, write, pass literacy tests, and register to vote all throughout this Jim Crow South. And on top of all that, she mentored Rosa Parks. And on top of that, she played a huge role in the Civil Rights Acts that Rosa Parks took part in, both before, during, and after the Montgomery bus boycotts. And in the summer of 1955, Rosa Parks attended one of Clark's workshops, and it was a turning point in her activism. It's believed that the schools that Septima Clark set up trained 10,000 teachers and helped register over 100,000 black people to vote. Septima Clark didn't just teach history. She enabled, she emboldened, and she mentored the people that came along to create history. And he says that based on facts. And that's what makes it a black fact.

In light of our recent Super Bowl halftime show, many of my friends and peers are saying the quiet part out loud. I think it's disturbing, especially today when black men are speaking conservative white men talking points. Yes, there are a section of the Latina population that voted for Trump and do not feel like they are part of the diaspora. However, right now, in this moment, we have to be intentional and deliberate with every step, tweet, post, share, et cetera. How do you all handle this right now? Not those who voted one way or another But right now After the halftime show And all the subtle bigoted comments on your timeline I would love to know What do you mean? Handle what? Like handle seeing that there are people out there I've been seeing racists my whole life You think a couple now I think he's seeing black and brown people doing it I think they're idiots You're dumb You know what I saw yesterday? I saw a video moving around from Adam Pacman Jones talking about how he didn't like halftime. Bro, of all, what in the concussion protocol is this? We do not need. Nah, listen, there's some people you just don't. You just didn't need a podcast from. Not only that, but I can't take you serious. You're grifting, bro. You're aligning with white supremacy and racism because you think it's going to get you to a bag. and you have no morals and you have no purpose. You know what I'm saying? Your purpose is not to serve the community or uplift people. It's just to help yourself. Let's just be honest. This is just what it is. You just have to chase a bag. What is that called? Click farming, algorithm hustling, cloud chasing. We kind of said this yesterday. That's how we handle it is that we know that these people are not serious. So I know it's frustrating. It could be upsetting. But, yeah, I think at a certain point we've gotten used to seeing people that you're just like, oh, so you stand for nothing. I know what you are now. Thank you. That's it. And then keep it moving. I think that's the silver lining. People showing you who they really are. That's it. Feeling proud to say it out loud. So, yes. So, don't, I don't think, try not to let it affect you too much because people are showing you who they are and if they show you, believe them. Yeah. So, say the guru. There it is, pal. The guru.

New Patreon today. That's happening. new patreon today with an announcement yeah why did you got yesterday rosenberg we were doing the patreon and you were asking me we were doing like origin story like how we did what we did got we got to some of that yeah yeah why did why did you say it sounded like i was upset that i was telling the story i don't know your tone wasn't like fun it seemed like it's like it's like it's hard getting you to look back i'm always looking forward so looking back is like i don't know if I'll be honest. Looking backwards for me feels lame. It feels stuck. Yeah, but that's not... I'm sorry. I'm going to pull the I'm deep in these therapy streets. That is covering up feelings. Well, yeah, I think it's covering up the fact that it was hard. And I don't want to think about it. Correct. But you add the lie, which sounds fire, which is not because I'm looking forward. If I look back, I can't be looking forward. But really, it's like I don't want to look back because it hurts. And I feel like crying with you people today. It's just hard. I don't know about looking back on work. What's that? That's what I'm saying. I think you look back at the whole picture. Something scares you when you look back a little bit. That's just my... Just as someone who's been friends with you for 20 years, that's my observation. Does it scare? Well, if you're on Patreon, you're going to get some of it. You get some of it. We don't get all the way there. We start it. We start the origin story. It's going to have to be a multi-part situation. You know what I feel when I look back? I feel a level of, I think I'm always trying to be humble. When deep down inside, I'm the greatest motherfucker y'all are doing. So he's doing it again. Oh, here he is. No, I'm kidding. No, when deep down inside, I was like not processing what was going on. I wasn't even thinking about how I felt about it. so then when you look back you got to kind of go wait how did that make me feel it's like work yeah that's the part listen when i hear you talk the even we got to go i don't know why we're bringing this i don't know you just pulled a rosenberg well because i want people to tune into the patreon it's a good job by you but this is now even better than the patreon i think but when you the the calmness with which you speak about your mother and father's relationship and you speak about it very calmly it's like there's so much there bro like there's i mean you love your dad and you love your mom and your dad was horrible to your mom oh yeah living through that and then terrible rationalizing the relationship and you can't but you but he's your dad so no but you can't rationalize relationship you can't there's no um anybody out there that had a one parent that is currently abusive or was abusive if you actually go to a therapist right you actually sit down and do the work you end up in a place where you have to accept the fact that you have no control over that like you but but but still there's so much air there's got to be so much there yeah it hurts but you have no power right that's that's the part you're powerless and you have to accept that but the but people live out that little kid experience for the rest of our lives in different ways so i long way of saying i think whenever it comes back to like hey let's look back i think for you it gets more complicated than let me just look at the fun times when I was the jammin' salmon. Because then you start looking at, like, all the other things floating around there. And there's a lot of stuff there. Plus, you're a black man in America. You didn't grow up in 2000. No. You know what I'm saying? Like, what year were you born? 75. Like, now looking back, 75 is still, I missed the beginning of it not being horrible. And it was still horrible. No, no, no, it's still horrible. And it's still horrible right now. There you go. So go subscribe to the Patreon. Patreon. Laura's keeping us focused. Good-ish in there. She's like, no, it's true.
