32.) Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show: Reactions & Everything You Missed (2/9/26)

Just don't call it a podcast. Ay. Ebro, Laura Rosenberg, good morning, everybody. Good morning. Cracking. Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, cracking off on a Monday post Super Bowl Monday. It should be very festive today. You got the people angry and the people feeling emo and happy and overjoyed. I think we should focus on the people feeling emo, happy, and overjoyed, not the negative, racist, white supremacists trying to insert themselves in the convo. It dawned on me over the weekend, too, how much people just want to insert themselves and not be a part of a joyous celebration. They just want to be negative. Right. It's pretty remarkable, actually, if you think about it. And we're going to get some congratulations. is you played yourself like Jake Paul playing himself again. Even his brother was like, yo, bro, shut up. Right. You sound ridiculous. You live in Puerto Rico. And the funniest part was I saw, I did see a lot of people, I think wishfully being like, ah, I think this is a setup for Logan Paul versus Bad Bunny. Well, when Logan Paul jumped in and goes, hey, I love my brother, but yeah, that's not how I feel. I'm going to go ahead and say that wasn't a setup for wrestling match. If so, that was a terrible way to start things off. Right, right. I didn't even think about the wrestling angle. Not at all. But it was a very festive weekend. Let's start with you, Laura Stiles. How'd you enjoy it? Oh, I loved it. I mean, I had a chill evening with just me, my partner, Ricardo, and Kenza. We just ate some food, watched it, just, and loved every single moment of it. We had a good time. He was watching the game. I just tapped in for the show. Of course. Like you and so many other hundreds of millions of people. Yes. There were so many festivities going around in the city, though. Yeah, a lot of watch parties, right? Huge watch parties, yeah. Oh, for Benito Bowl. Yes, that's right. Because let me tell you, no one cared about that game. No one gave a damn about that game. Listen, they didn't care about the game. I actually enjoyed. I like defensive games, so hit me with the button because I definitely enjoyed the football game also. Also, talk about an opinion I don't care about. Congratulations. Exactly. Don't watch football. So maybe that means it was a bad game. Settle down, buddy. I've been closer to football, actual football in my life than you have. So I don't know why I take it personally. Whether I watch it all the time or just sometimes. This is how you want to start. Well, I mean, you hit me with the opinion I don't care about. Like I don't know what good football is. I'm just saying the person who jumps in and goes, I enjoyed the game. It was the first game you watched this season. Well, that's true. Maybe that's why. You may have lost an eye. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it, because I hadn't watched any games. Yeah, you were like, I like this sport. Yeah, exactly. Ebro was like, you know, being in person at the most exciting game of the year, getting to see it from a suite. You know what's crazy, though? That's great. You know what's crazy? I end up watching it on TV anyway. It's not like I had a seat in that celeb fest. Right, right, right. I could imagine that. I was standing in the back. I didn't get to sit down in the front. So that's how it works. So some people have tickets where they can go sit, and then some people just have suite access and you can wander. No, no, no. Everybody had tickets. I'm there just working me and Zane just hanging out. Got it. I work for Apple. Everybody else got to come hang out. Everyone else was invited, and their thing has a ticket, a number on it. Yeah, well, I have a ticket and a number, too, but I don't have a seat. Got it, got it. So you have a – Congratulations. You played yourself. If you want to go sit down. That's where you get slapped. Yeah, I mean, luckily for me, Justin Bieber was, you know, playing the wall in the back. And what other name drops can I use right now? And his wife. So they gave up their seats a few times where I got to go sit down. They weren't really. And Dave Grohl wasn't using his seat, so I came and sat down a little bit. Oh, wow, nice. Really? Yeah, that Dave Grohl's a really nice guy, by the way. He's like, hey, bro, you tired? Come here. No, he was hanging out with his wife and having beers in the back. So I was like, oh, you're not using this seat. I can sit down for a second. When they showed him on camera, he was very funny. Immediately played to camera, started pounding beer. But real quick, back to the game, because I do want to hear more about your name drops, though. Yeah, you may have enjoyed it. That was everything I knew it was. F-ing boring from beginning to end. Yes, good defense, but also bad offensive play. Yeah. Yeah, call me a casual. I don't enjoy a defensive battle like that. Now, if they've been just sacking and intercepting, it just felt like this is exactly why I don't like the Super Bowl. We talked about this last week. Super off-kilter, weird pace, doesn't feel like anything. You're like waiting for it to start, and then Ebro finally gets going, and Drake May throws the most ridiculous interception to end the game. Crazy, crazy. It was just, but the Benito was, I thought it did not disappoint at all. I was very, I just enjoyed it a lot. I mean, I totally understand why you'd be teared up watching it. And I think for a lot of people, they went into it maybe expecting controversy or him saying something that was outwardly divisive. Of course. And what they got was, and I mean, even people who love him were thinking maybe he would take a big shot. They wanted him to clap back in some way. When really what he was doing, Benito's celebration of Puerto Rican and Latin culture was the clap back. That's right. That was the move. I'm going to show you the beauty of this music, this culture, these people, this island, and honestly, this whole continent. And that is going to be the clap back. and I thought it was masterful. Wait, but I want to go back, Ebro, because Ebro, how exciting it is. You were like the first one, when I saw you walk out at the press conference, you know how exciting that is? Everyone's texting me. I was like, I'm not there, but I'm just as excited. No, it's cool, man. It's such an amazing moment to be able to sit down with Bad Bunny, you and Zayn, and like just have the first major interview. I just was, we were so proud of you. It's just so cool. It was just so cool. And for the thoughts that are in the chat, I'm sure it makes everybody feel like, yo, one of our guys is there. You know what I mean? So I just want to make sure I let you know how proud we are. Oh, thank you for that, Lauren. That means a lot. That means a lot. No, it's very cool. And for people who didn't realize it was every year that he does this, literally does that every year. I know. You played yourself. But it was Bad Bunny. We're proud again. Yeah, we're proud again. But it also- The talking last year was big too. Let's not lie. But I think the climate, one of the conversations that people were having a lot, and when I say people, literally everyone, even from the press conference, but specifically at the game, was the game was the most American thing you could think of. Because you have the climate outside the game, which is people are pissed. That's right. People are pissed. People are pissed off. They're pissed off with the government. And so one of the first performances you see is Green Day. And it's like, yo, we're at, I mean, this is as big as it gets. And you have a band up there basically saying, you know, sing an American idiot, which is just straight, you know, straight talking that ish that we love, right? Of course. Then you get into Coco Jones singing Lift Every Voice and Sing. and Brandi Carlile, who, you know, is just an amazing human being. And then Charlie Puth, who did the most soulful, probably, rendition outside of, like, Whitney Houston's version of America, of the Star-Spangled Banner I've seen in a long time, with the choir in the background playing the keys. Shout out to Charlie Puth. He really did his thing. And then the halftime is Bad Bunny, which is in Spanish. How diverse and inclusive and American, really representing all walks of life, can you be at one of the biggest events in the world for entertainment and sports? The only thing bigger than the Super Bowl is the World Cup, and they're not known for their halftime. Yeah, yeah. It's like the most American thing you can have. So, and it was dope. It was dope. So you had, like, all aspects of everything. You know, it was really good. The walk-in was great. A lot of Seattle fans. It was like a home game for the Seahawks. It felt very Seattle from a distance. Yeah, so it was, I mean, it was all good. I mean, and that's why, like, I started the show talking about what y'all want to focus on. The fact that this was amazing and uplifting and beautiful. or everybody trying to insert themselves and create, you know, a negative moment out of an immensely positive moment. How more positive could that be, where you have freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and all walks of life taking place at one event? It doesn't get better than that. It was beautifully done. Celebration of culture. hey man, celebration of the United States. Yes. Celebration of everything. It was all in there. So yeah, it's funny. I was like zapped of my need to even fight with these people. I mean, yes, except for when I saw, you know, Jake Paul's ridiculous tweet that did send me a bit. But for the most part, you know, I saw what was happening on the T-Pusa. I don't know where you find it, but I saw it on the internet and I saw, you know, Kid Rock lip syncing. I saw the disaster that those no-names performing looked like. And I'm like, why would I want to focus on this? So, by the way, I saw a number that said 5 million people tuned into that. Hit the button. Who are you 5 million people? Congratulations. You played yourself. I just saw them having technical difficulties or licensing difficulties so they couldn't go on Twitter. I think they were supposed to, like, stream through Twitter also or X. That didn't happen. Wow. Whatever. Who cares, man? I mean, listen, I would love to hear in the chat right now, anybody in there, how you guys felt. One day we're going to have a phone number. You guys know that, right? Yes. One day, Ebro Laura Rosenberg will have a phone number where you guys will be able to call. It's Studio 1.1? No, it would be. Were we all the way to 2.0? Well, no, we're currently still in 1.0. 1.0. It's really still 1.0. It's coming. It's a good 1.0. but we got plans. We got plans, though. Griff says we're still in 1.0. Yes, yes, yes, yes. The anticipation for the whole thing was so dope. Oh, by the way, I was able to get a quick little plug-in. I was on CNN on Friday plugging the Super Bowl. Yo, do we have the clip? Let's run the clip. I thought we had the clip ready of Laura on CNN. Yeah, it's a little long, but. I didn't know that I'd be matching Bad Bunny, but here we are. Laura Stiles, co-host of the Ebro and Warren Rosenberg Show. Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it. Stop the clip. Laura, what's happening? What is you doing? Wait, bro, do you really not know? Are you asking in earnest? No, I don't think he knows. No, I saw her text, but I want her to explain the audio. Okay, okay. So I had, you know, I did this broadcast from home. So I had told, you know, my wonderful, like the person who helps me with Kenza, right? Like my nanny. I was like, please don't come home till after 5.30. Rewind it. Rewind it from the top. I got to see this. And she's like, yeah, sure. Don't worry. I didn't know that I'd be matching Bad Bunny, but here we are. Watch Laura. Watch Laura. Watch Laura. Watch Laura. Laura and Rosenberg Show joins us now for a crash course in Bad Bunny 101. Laura, thank you so much for being here. Let's just get straight to it. The Super Bowl will be the first time that some people see Bad Bunny perform. If you had to describe who Bad Bunny is as an artist, 10 words or less, what would you say? Oh, God. There's so many words that come to mind. He is electric. he is welcoming he is fun he is culture and we're going to definitely experience a beautiful representation he's going to take us to Puerto Rico I'm sorry Brad I can go on and on I know what everyone's thinking right now this is undoubtedly I know what everyone's thinking why is Laura's background better when she's on CNN than when she's on this program that one's got art I tried to think different anyway It was a good look, Laura. Great job. Congrats on that. Thank you. And thanks for representing the show. Yes, yes, yes. And everyone at CNN and Brad and Don, they're all awesome. They're fans of the show, and they're just great people. But, Ebro, so I told her specifically, don't come home till after 530. As soon as they're like, three, we're going live, Laura, in three, two, one, I see the door open. Come on, man. You were so tight. I was so. And then Kenza runs over to me, and she's pulling my hand. Like, you know, and I'm just like I'm doing the get away Get away And then at one point they walk away And then Kenza comes back and is like pulling on my hand That's why you see me going like this I was like, please, I don't want to be a meme I don't want to be a meme No, that's a meme By the way, we're going to cut it into a meme Yeah, we're still making it a meme But Ebro, you realize that we were two seconds away From this show really being on fire If we were that close With Kenza coming on camera and like interrupting the whole thing She goes fully on and destroys the whole thing. Bad moment for Laura. Great moment for the show. Oh, phenomenal. We would have been out of here, bro. Phenomenal. And especially if Kenzie would have jumped up there and said, F these kill kids. Yeah. Drop one of her catchphrases on those people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but it was great. We would have been out of here. Amazing. It was great. It was great. So look, we need everybody to subscribe to the Patreon if you have it in your bank account to support the program. so that we could pay the amazing people working behind the scenes and even pay Laura Stiles. Rosenberg and I won't get paid for some time, but we're still working on it. As the numbers get up, maybe Rosenberg might stop showing up one day. If he does, it's because we haven't been able to pay him. Well, it's been two years. I said, hey, I don't know when I signed up for this. We have some Super Chat people. Okay. Oh, yes. Let's see. Triple L Deontel. Hi. He said streamers found that the 5 million views were botted live because you can literally see the chat wasn't even moving. Wow. So he's saying it was completely fake and people knew. And you're talking about T-Pusa. Yeah, that the T-Pusa wasn't even. The T-Pusa was not even a thing at all. It doesn't surprise me. Now, what was real was the wedding at the Bad Bunny ball. I saw that was real. That was real. And that couple had asked Bad Bunny to come to their wedding. I don't know the particulars of how they asked him or if they know him or how it got to him. But nonetheless, he spun it around and was like, yo, no, pull up and you're going to be a part of the halftime. That's amazing. Imagine, it's like, hey, babe, you want to get married at the Super Bowl halftime show with Benito? That's so nuts. And I could tell early on, I'm like, I bet this is the real deal. I bet these people are getting married. Nice. Nice. And then you go back and watch it, and he has the storyline. He goes, he gets the ring, he gives it to the guy, the guy proposes. Then it was so dope. Yo, can I tell y'all something? So I get to, every year when we do this, we get to see a rehearsal show on Thursday. Okay. Which obviously I don't really talk about because it's confidential, and I don't want to get up here and be yapping. So I knew Lady Gaga was going to be there. Okay. And I saw her perform at the rehearsal. I got to say, I could tell that Lady Gaga was a little bit nervous when it was live yesterday. I could see that. Because I saw the difference in her energy a little bit. And I was like, yo, Lady Gaga's a little bit nervous in this scenario. Like, this is very, like, new for her. And she's doing something that, you know, she's a guest here. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like, yo. Yes. And you could see it. But I mean, look, she nailed it. She's Gaga. It was phenomenal. But you could just, even when she was in rehearsal, you could tell she was overjoyed to be invited into this cultural moment. I love that. I know people had mixed feelings about her, but I didn't. I thought it was fantastic. I think the messaging is on point. You know, she's a huge advocate for the LGBTQ community. She's always on the right side of history. Yeah. So I love her. What was people's downside on it? Like Camino should have just done himself? No. They wish it was Mark Anthony. They wish it was, you know. Or they wish it was, you know, he would have highlighted a Latina. You know what I mean? Like, everyone's always going to have an issue with something. But to me, that didn't bother me. Why do we, I mean, we're speculating, and I don't know, and didn't ask, but why do we think he chose Lady Gaga in this moment? I think it's because of what Laura just said, what she represents. That's the only thing that, to me. And maybe he just loves her and is a huge fan I don know Yeah I think a part of it too was to show the naysayers she down with us Yeah maybe Yeah People who maybe like her and were maybe unfamiliar with him or not quite sure if they were welcome in. Gaga makes people who, you know, like her and maybe feel like they can relate to her, like, oh, okay, no, this is welcoming. this is an invitation for us all to be a part of this um so i feel like i felt like that was a powerful powerful thing but but i mean i thought i had that same thought but at the same time if if you're someone who's over there and you thought that lady gaga was was down with you congratulations well now i guess i'm saying she's so open about who she is well i guess i'm not talking about politics i'm talking about culture i'm talking about people who don't speak spanish or people who don't know the dances or people who, you know, I'm not talking about people who were like anti. I'm talking about people who just kind of just didn't necessarily know how to fit in. Got it. Okay, yes, that I could see. That makes sense. Well, no, it is extending. Using someone who's an English-speaking performer is extending an olive branch to maybe people to be able to find their way into it a little bit more. I see what you're saying. Well, and many of us, definitely all of us on this show, are accustomed in a good way to being outsiders to different cultures and being okay showing up and learning and not being the center of attention. Right, right. Right? Like, that is not something that everybody's accustomed to. Right? Some people, and it's unfortunate, have only lived in their bubbles, do not go out and want to learn, are not. And sometimes some people aren't even sure if screwing up, you know, trying Spanish and screwing up or trying a different language or listening to people talk about a different religion or watching people pray in a different way, like that it's OK for them to want to learn that. Not everybody grows up like that. We all grew up like that. That's right. Experiencing different things and being okay with different things. And so I think the Lady Gaga thing helps people, or at least maybe I'm dreaming. I hope that's my hope is that it does. I think it makes sense. Yeah. Now, the Super Bowl halftime opens up in a sugar cane field. Everybody's clear on why that's important, right? Yes. Are you sure? Why don't you explain it? Well, so our ancestors toiled in the fields, y'all, in these fields. And there's still people toiling in these fields who are being harassed by ice right now and making sure food gets on our table in a mostly inexpensive fashion. So those fields really represented our ancestry as well as immigrants today. That's right. That was super important. You guys are aware that some of the Businesses you know when he was walking Through the fields that some of those food carts Are actual businesses Yes That he was you know the taco stand I believe is a taco stand In LA The The lady Who gives him the shot when he takes the shot That's an actual business In Williamsburg that's Tonita Yeah and it's very important to say Because when he's in New York, he makes it a thing to visit, Toñitas, right? But not only Toñita is at a social club, but you can go get a delicious plate of food. But it's very meaningful because my girl was explaining it to me. Because that's where a lot of people would go who wouldn't speak English to connect with others to just get help translating documents and just get advice. And just help. So it's a community hub. So it's really, really important to that part of Brooklyn. And what she's done is amazing. So I thought it was really beautiful that he honored her. It was just so fire to see. Well, and he did. Didn't he do a fundraiser or something a while ago to help her save the business? Yes. Yeah. He brought a lot of attention to her, too. And this is really quick, Ibro. I squealed because one of my homegirls, Flaka, was in there. She does braids. And she has a braid shop in the Lower East Side called Strand Addict. And she's straight Boricua, straight from the island. Ricardo and I were watching. I'm like, Flaka! We were all screaming. No way. She made it. She, outside of the casita, she's there smiling, braiding hair. Wow, that's crazy. She goes by Gingy. I was so happy to see my girl there. It was just, it was so dope, so dope. And speaking of the casita, you guys obviously saw Cardi B. Yes. Shout to Carol G, who I got to hang out with a little bit in the suite. And she was super, you know, people were boohoo crying, bro. Yes. No, no, no. Rosenberg there were people who work at Apple who culturally have no connection to this they're just regular no connection and we're crying boo hoo crying I'm not gonna front I shed some tears had to excuse themselves had to be like I'll be back I can't because everything has such incredible like meaning like the power line workers that part right there was so beautiful because he's reminding people, yo, el apagón means the blackout. You know how many times families have to deal with not having electricity? Like the privilege of having electricity that works and how it's affected the island over and over and over again. And by the way, this is an American territory. They can't get power and the corruption that exists in government, not just in Puerto Rico, but in their representation here in the mainland contributes to all of this. And I believe whoever runs their electricity has all these corruption accusations. It's bad, Rosenberg. It's bad. Ibra, I really loved, obviously, when he gave his Grammy to his younger self. Yes. That part, I was like, oh, God. Well, that was the most obvious. because a bunch of these would really need someone to explain it. It's kind of like Kendrick in that way, like going through it one more time to see all the little moments. But that one, whether you viewed it as him giving it to himself or just giving it to someone to a little... I used that when I saw that. I was like, oh my God. And even not that long ago, I was at Rosenberg's house and I was explaining, and we were talking about that, but I remember Rosenberg when I was telling you about the song Yo Perreo Sola, right? So I was breaking it down, Ibro, because first of all, Yo Perreo Sol is a banger, right? And I was so surprised that at the beginning, he actually like played a clip of it. But, you know, the video had a lot of controversy because when the music video came out, he went straight drag. Like prosthetics and everything. And you already know the homophobia. In Latino America, everybody was like, oh my God, like literally dying. But the song is about like letting women like, I don't want to say twerk by themselves, But like let them have their moment. Let them feel sexy and beautiful without harassing them. You know what I mean? Like that's really like the core of the messaging. So for him to even like throw that as part of the Super Bowl halftime show, I thought it was beautifully done. So he took small little pieces like that and make sure he included them. I thought that was wonderful. And then he closes with the, you know, a celebration of unity, right? with the flags and everyone coming together. And, you know, the quote about, you know, love defeating hate and together we stand. I mean, and then spikes the football. Yeah. Spikes the football. And also, Ebro, in that moment when he's carrying the flags, goes through every country in the Americas, ending with the United States and Canada was pretty cool too. That's him repping for all immigrants from all over. And also, Ibrose, we can't forget, having Ricky Martin sing Lo Que Paso a Hawaii was done on purpose. You know what I mean? It's like him singing it. Everybody was like, whoa. But remember, we talked about this on the show. He was the one that dropped what he was doing and joined him with Residente to execute one of the biggest protests that Puerto Rico ever had to get rid of a corrupt governor. And what is the English translation of that title? Lo que pasó a Hawaii. What happened to Hawaii? And just so everybody knows, that story of the Hawaiian islands being stolen from the Hawaiian people and they're still struggling to hold on to their culture and their heritage there and the connection between Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Yes, yes, yes. That's why that was so important. Real quick, Super Chat, DJ Tastastic says, tell a friend and tell a friend. We got to get Laura paid, LOL. Chef Daniel Brown jumps in and says, ERL, get that merch pop and tell Laura to get on the ball. Your team is straight dope, uncut, much love. Oh, we got more coming. The new merch is rolling out. We don't have a date, though, Laura. No, we don't have a date just yet. What are we waiting for, by the way? We didn't even confirm exactly what it was, did we? Yes, yes. We just, we'll announce it this week. I'll say it. We'll announce it this week. Everyone's super excited, man. They've been hitting me up like, can we get a hoodie version? I'm like, chill, chill. It's coming. Now, Laura, don't get crazy and drop hoodies in July when it's mad hot out. All right? It's cold right now. People are like, yo. I know. I know. Can I get a hoodie? How you guys, speaking of cold, I think, I don't know where most of our audience is listening. Matter of fact, tell us where you're listening in the chat. um but um how are you guys handling this cold man how you guys holding up um i'm gonna hit you with this real quick this is me i'm tapping out to winter you you got this no you got it i feel you no you you like today was the morning i went outside and i was like yo this is the worst bro This is, though, it's been awful. Like, I never, there are people going to jump out and go, oh, you don't remember. Global warming's not a thing. It's fine. It's always, yo, bro, nonstop like this. We're in mid-February, guys. When did it, it started getting horrible. I remember the first, like, freezing, freezing was mid-December. And we've basically been on it ranging between very cold and dangerous. don't leave the house cold the entire time. My sister called me. She's like, how does it feel? I'm like, I'm in a freezer. I'm in a freezer. I think what compounds the issues, I remember it being cold. And it's definitely cold every winter like this, like zeros, not necessarily negatives, but definitely zeros for a couple of weeks. But with snow on the ground that won't go away, No, no, and the length, because you're talking about, does it ever hit zero or minus? Sure. Ebro, we haven't, the forecast hasn't said it's going to be over 32, even in highs, for weeks. Now, it did end up hitting it a couple of times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, I don't remember the last time, at least, where when you look at the future, you go out 10 days, it never says above 32. Right now, right now, the 10-day, the 10 day for our area if you're living in a tri-state and you're worried about you know or care even what's going on it looks like wednesday we're supposed to hit 37 saturday we're supposed to hit 37 and there might be a 42 on sunday oh please but that comes but that comes with snow oh lovely and it's supposed to snow on tuesday yo so here's the crazy thing normally here like when you see precipitation, it's in the wintertime, it's more often rain. We haven't been getting much snow. Now we can't get rain to melt this disgusting... You can't. We get it. Yo, anyone who has nasty things to say about New York and you're looking for a time to back up your brain... Now's the time. You cannot argue. My friends, we all have friends who moved to the Burbs, moved far away from the city a long time ago, who were like, What are you doing, man? Life's hard. Don't be there. And you always argue back. Now is the time when I got to say, I look at y'all like, you know what? Y'all might be on to something. You got this. This is terrible. You got this. This is terrible. Yo, it's just a mom, Donnie. He pushed alternate side again to tomorrow, which makes it now. It's over two weeks where they haven't done alternate side, which if you're not from New York, that's street cleaning. We call it alternate side parking. Now, the streets need cleaning. The unfortunate part is people's cars are iced in. So to actually get your – now, Rosenberg, have you dug your car out? Have I dug it out? I've knocked off most of the snow. Okay. And I got in it, and I, like, literally went back and forth in the spot to see if I'd be able to get out. Yeah. But I didn't leave. And I think I can. The hard part is another reason you don't want to move your car is there are so many ice banks that spots are like cut in half. Yeah. So the idea of getting a spot again, once you move, you're like, I can't move the car. I'd rather take the ticket this week. You're done. So it's... Yo, the tickets are so foul, man. Again, I saw another meter maid put a ticket on a car. I was like, how is this woman going to get this car out of here? How? And then, yeah, like producer Griffiths saying people are just like halfway backing in the spots. and then leaving like half their car in the middle of the street. We're at about 3,400 people tuned into the Ebro Laura Rosenberg show right about now. Please subscribe. Please hit the like so we can get this going in the algorithm and build the brand a little bit more brolic. And with that, Rosenberg, we need an intro. Laura, are you ready? Sure. Yeah, let's do it. Is it time for the rundown? Let's go. Let's go. Run it down. What you got today? Well, we've been talking about the Super Bowl halftime show, of course. Bad Bunny. Shout out to him. Did you guys know, because I was trying to figure out his jersey, if it meant anything, and he had Ocasio in the number 64. That was paying homage to his mom. Usually, you know, you take the dad's, like you celebrate the dad's family name, but he decided to celebrate his mother, and the 64 was the year she was born. So I thought that was pretty cool, right? Okay, all right. Yeah. Love that. The more, yo, going on the internet and seeing all the Easter eggs is really cool to watch. But yes. Now, Laura, the Easter egg thing, and Rosenberg, chime in here. How long we've been doing the Easter egg thing? Beyonce, remember Beyonce came out with the Black Panther formation thing? That was a thing. Yes. And there was a few Easter eggs in that. I remember that. But has it been every year? Nah, last year is what took it to the next level. Because the Rihanna, Rihanna was very straightforward in a beautiful but simple way, no? Yeah, I believe so. And Usher's had the roller skating and different Atlanta things. And I guess there was cultural things in it. No, but Kendrick officially changed the game last year, I believe. Where it was like, oh, I got to do some research. and there's going to be think pieces and whole rollouts of what took place. You can't even give an opinion on if you like it for three days. You need to wait and say, well, I don't understand it yet. I haven't done the math. I'll let you know if I like it. But I think I liked it. I literally, today was like, I really enjoyed it, but I got to now go find a good piece to help me break. Now, Laura Stiles has done a great job, so I don't really need to, but I was like, I understood. There's more, I'm sure. I'm sure there's more. There's so many little things. Yeah, Ibro, I really think that, truly is a Kendrick thing. Okay. Okay. Yes. I didn't, you know, if I would have attributed straight to Kendrick without thinking clearly, you know, I would have been accused of sack riding, nut hugging, and being a glazer. So, you know what I mean? I mean, listen, those charges can't be beat. So it doesn't matter what you do. But I think, I mean, I'm thinking about the Dre, the Dre, Snoop, Eminem one. I don't think there was any sort of... That was pretty straightforward, right? Yeah, Rihanna was pretty straightforward. Shakira, the Shakira-J-Lo joint several years. I mean, J-Lo did a little something, you know. But I remember she had like a... I think it was like she had like a piece where she was talking about the kids that were in cages. So I remember she did something along those lines, but I don't remember anything else. You know what went bad for Donald Trump when I'm seeing people like Piers Morgan coming out, coming for him, saying, responding to Trump's truth. about the event and they're basically like shut up oh god because trump put out a long thing and like pierce morgan who i generally can't stand but i will say this but i will say this he does he doesn live on one side of everything he will give his opinions i just generally think the opinions suck he said uh he said to the president post he wrote couldn disagree more Mr President I absolutely love Bad Bunny halftime show Amazing Parentheses Best in Super Bowl history Theater. Choreography. Great energy. Superbly confident performance. And a very welcoming, unifying message. Wow. Oh, and Spanish is first language for 50 million plus Americans. What? For Piers Morgan? That's Piers Morgan, bro. Wow. Okay. It may have not hit the way you thought it was going to. Well, and since we're on it, Laura, we're going to come back to you to finish the rundown. Since we're on it, you know what it reeked up for me, that whole post from Trump? That I need to create a problem here because, and I want everybody to think about this. He creates problems where there isn't a problem because he can benefit from creating the problem and then try to be or position himself as the problem solver. Every single time something happens, I want you to remember that. Because there was no need for him to do that in this moment. There was an American flag. Puerto Rico's part of America. It was unification. It was love. It was a party. There was nothing negative about the back. He tried to run down the dancing. Of all people, you think you're going to make us believe that you were offended. You. Hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein, bouncing up and down, looking at women everywhere. You was just hanging out with Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj is your best friend. You were offended by the dancing? Stop. You're right. It's completely... Didn't you talk about this the other day? The messaging in those emails with Epstein and Peter Thiel about them... Oh, it's a psyop. It's a psychological operation. This whole thing of dividing us and figuring out ways to be divisive is a psyop. And dismantling and destabilizing our society has been something that these billionaires have been on, creating a narrative that we're at each other and we're disagreeing when the truth is we're more alike than we are different. But the more we're together on things, the more we stop them from making the moves that they want to make and the money they want to make. They don't want us unified and moving together. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. John Mellencamp, I don't know what Bad Bunny is saying. However, I do know he's standing up for Puerto Rico, and I am standing up for him. His halftime show is great. John Mellencamp. As middle American as you can get, damn near. I'll give you guys another reason for people to be mad you know they were mad at Green Day they were not happy they were posting like all their favorite like moments of like them at concerts and be like never again here's a clip okay of Green Day's Billy Armstrong as he has some words for ice and this was at the Super Bowl I think it was like a party this was like a Spotify party watch this goes down to all the ice age itself Where you are. Quit that shitty job, you are. Because when this is over, and it will be over at some point in time. Kristi Noem. Stephen Miller. Jamie Vance. Donald Trump. They're going to drug you like the baddest fucking habit. All right, you can hear me. They were mad. They were mad. Yo, so good. Yo, man, I love them, man. They from the Bay, too, man. Did they drop? I didn't know if when they did American Idiot and Boulevard of Broken Dreams and the records they did to start the show, I didn't know if they also dropped any little bars in there or not. I didn't hear any. I saw that they did, but I don't know. It was just internet talk. You know what I mean? I don't know because people are saying that they switch some lyrics to give little subtle messages. But also, I just want to shout out Billy Joe Armstrong for, you know, the work he's done. He I like him still looking young. I'm not ready to live in a world where Green Day looks like 58 year old men. So I just want to shout out. So you think he's you think he's doing something? You think he's got some. Did you see the youth in that face? I mean, listen, some people just got young face. He's hold on. He looks good. He looks good. He looks good. I don't know how old he is, actually. I'm going to look right now. He's 53. Griff says they didn't do the second verse of American Idiot. That's the one that goes super hard. So they kind of, he's, I guess there's claims that since they didn't do that verse, is that what you're saying, Griff, that people are saying they didn't really, you know. But it was a medley also, so what are you going to do? Yeah. Well, look, man, listen. You guys saw me doing the dance, right? I was in there with the corporate types. You guys saw me dancing in there. Ebro, I got a special one for you. Hold on. Come on, man. You saw me. No, listen. Hold on. Let me say something about Ebro. Very excited for him. I mean, I was posting the Bad Bunny stuff. The whole thing's crazy. It's an amazing opportunity. It is. It's so cool. I just want to do what Ebro would do for me. If this situation were with him. Yo, Laura, your man went from NFL crusader to the NFL would like to sincerely thank you for watching. Good boy. The voice. He's the voice of the NFL. Oh, my God. No, I can honestly say we've never seen anything like this before. You got to do the dance. You know what I'm saying? You got to do your dance. If you're going to dance, do the biggest dance. You know what I'm saying? Do the dance. Do the dance. You know what I'm saying? This is his, he's not hosting the Pro Bowl. This is the Super Bowl. No, it's the bowl that's super right here. It's the one. No, you're going to dance. It's the one. Yo, my man is Savion Glover. Savion Glover. Savion Glover. I cannot. No, that's Sammy Davis right here. Yeah. Can't grab those joints. No, listen. Listen, I got on the good foot. You know what I'm saying? On the good foot. You want to know what James Brown meant? He meant this. He got on the good foot. Yo. Now, hey, you know what's crazy? I'm going to tell you the ill part is I actually work with a group of people that we can have this conversation behind the scenes. Like, everybody knows what it is. Like, you know what it is. Right, right, right. No one is, you know, no one is acting like, you know, there aren't things that we are unhappy about and how things are in this current climate. Like, that's not a thing at all. Yeah, I mean, I hope people know that in general. And, I mean, they don't. Every one of us who works someplace that has some ties or things that are questionable to us or blatantly or whatever level it is, you think the people who are there don't know it? Like, everyone's got, this is what it goes back to, is everyone who wants to be employed. Yo, where do you work that's not connected to some part of this? This is how he got here is because big business and money likes this whole thing. Yeah. You know, and they put us, I think a lot of times put aside their moral values. It's not that they all agree with all of it. It's just that how can they disagree with the bottom line? Right. Well, and then there's just other particulars of just how you're going about doing business, right? because these companies are in business to do business with everybody. They're not in business to make a political stand. Which does make the NFL part interesting. I'm taking a political stand. But look, listen, the NFL booked Green Day. And Bad Bunny. Like, that's the really interesting part here that needs to be studied. They've done a deal with Jay-Z where Roc Nation is booking the halftime. And Roc Nation is booking Coco. But there has to be conversation there, right? Rock Nation got... Yeah. Well, yeah, there's convo. Rock Nation had... We weren't doing Lift Every Voice and Sing before Rock Nation was involved. Let's be clear. We were not singing the Black National Anthem before Rock Nation was involved. Well, that was also a 2020... That was a post-George Floyd 2020 NFL, you know, when they were putting up the things in the end zone, end racism. They also said, we're going to start every season. Yes. And I guess every Super Bowl with Lift Every Voice and Sing, which in some ways, I'm not going to lie, guys, it grates it gets me it's like the most covering up thing of all time like i can't take it and also but it's like but how can you not take it i mean it is the black national anthem it's right but also i'm like really you're just gonna add a song are you still doing but but but on the opposite the nfl i can't this is the part i just can't quite figure out why did the 32 owners why are all of them good with Jay-Z making these decisions? Why were they good with Green Day? You would think it goes absolutely against so much of what they actually believe. Or is it just more important, back to what the important part is, the bottom line. And these are the people who reach people and make money. And getting as many people in as possible. But the whole Green Day booking, I was told that that was an NFL straight up thing. Oh. That wasn't a part of the Roc Nation thing. Interesting. The way it was articulated to me. I don't know if that's true, but that was how it was articulated to me. But let's be real. This is the problem that the right has. Let me explain something. Listen close. Get close to your radio or your television. Are we still on the radio? Maybe you're why. Listen, I hope people get in their car and throw the YouTube on, and you can listen to this in your car. I hope that still happens. Turn it up loud. Yeah. Here's the thing. um generally speaking generally speaking and this is not hate this is facts generally speaking right people right wing people are not creative or talented so the pool of who to get is basically non-existent this is this goes all the way down it literally trickles down to turn on fox news for five minutes or don't give many don't give many eyeballs watch a clip or two on your timeline i've said this for many years ebro even their graphics suck like these people don't have creative brains they're not open-minded that's why they don't accept other people so when you're trying to think of who can we get if you want to get someone who's actually popping who is the person that you would even get who's not on the right side of history because the best artists are usually on the right side of history well you know i've whether which is the left side by the way whether it's art community whatever collaboration is key and if you're not open to connecting with people from other walks of life other cultures other beliefs whatever you're never going to make the best of anything you're just not if you think about the things that we love it's people coming together from different experiences and walks of life to create a thing something new something something fly something that really strikes an emotional chord that we can all believe in it's about listen i know i sound corny and it's after school special but if you think about everything everything is people coming together the food we love think about the food you love yes bro facts if you want to listen if you want to have the um foundational black movement on your head, even hip-hop, was a multitude of people. Yeah. It was. Lots of people. A lot of different people coming together to make this thing work. Yeah, it was. But, you know, look, I think that's what most of us know and realize, and that's why, you know, we all have hope and belief that we can pull people together and do something better. You know what I mean? That's what we're all about here. They had to shut down the damn Kennedy Center. That's how bad. That was from our chat. It's a great point. They are so uncreative. They have so few artists they can even go to. They're like, you know what? Just close the damn Kennedy Center. We can't even book this joint. Who are we going to put in here? How many times can Kid Rock play? Just close the joint. We don't have any room for anything. Now, Laura, we didn't put a bow on the rundown. We went on a bunch of tangents. You got anything else you want to throw up in there? We did. Well, let's just go to the lowdown. Let's go to the lowdown. Oh, man, what the hell? Just because I'm just going to call out. We don't want to talk to the angel of death, though. Are you sure? It's time. Now, that intro was provided by none other than the great Hot Rod Rick. Hot Rod Rick, why are you trying to DM me and call me through Instagram in the middle of the Super Bowl? No. Nah, he was drunk. Nah, my man was drunk. Nah, my man was drunk. Because I don't, y'all know, look, I follow him. I don't, only DMs I see is people I follow. So I didn't see it at the time, but I saw like, you know, in your DMs where somebody could call you or something? Yes. You're seeing missed calls. I saw missed calls. Wow. Look, I still got my, I still got my bracelet off in the Super Bowl. I just landed this morning. It's crazy. Yo, yo, Rick, let me tell you something about Rick. Rick was beat up out here. What happened? Because that means he was, no, he was just, he had to be Super Bowl drunk. Oh, he was wasted. And he's like, he heard your voice. He's like, nah, that's my man. I'm going to call it right now. Yo, my man, what are you doing? Yo, man. Yeah, that's funny. Hilarious. All right, well, you guys, so there's this rumor that Stefan Diggs and Cardi B unfollowed each other from Instagram. I saw this. Oh, man. Yes. Now, why right after the game, though? Look, again, it's a rumor. So there was also a rumor that Cardi B left before the game was over. That just might be on some like Let me go ahead and beat traffic though Why did they show Cardi B? Why did they show Cardi B? I mean they showed her like a seat then Well maybe Was she sitting in a box? Was she sitting in a box? I don't know if she was I don't know I don't know But maybe that speaks to the point That maybe they broke up this week So that's the big rumor right now So let's see man Let's see Yo, maybe she was like, yo, I'm putting up with all your BS, but if you lose the Super Bowl, I'm out. No. And then he was like, oh, you lost? I'm out. Now, let me tell you something. Stefan turned this into a season. When they started dating, you guys remember, I was killing it. I was like, why is she with Stefan Diggs? He's a mess. He's going the wrong direction. And then he ends up putting together a great season. Well, he wasn't like epic, but he had a good season on a team that goes to the damn Super Bowl. Maybe she was like, listen, I don't root for no damn loser. You're going to get up here and get your ass kicked on TV. Man. He didn't do much yesterday. I'll tell you that right now. All right. Well, another person that people were throwing tomatoes at just because virtual tomatoes was Chris Brown. So as soon as the Super Bowl halftime show is done, he decides to go on Instagram stories and say, I think it's safe to say they need me. with like an emoji like shading Benito. People were like, can you shut up? Nah, Chris. Can you shut up? Chris, I'm going to tell you what you need. Come on. Congratulations. You played yourself. Wow. Where did you even? Come on. Yo, Chris, who were you watching the game with? I need to know what that environment was like and what you're talking about. Chris is somebody who's collaborated with Caribbean artists, African artists. What are you talking about? I know. I was just like, really? You want to do this now? Okay. Just say congratulations and keep it moving. Or don't say anything. Well, and not only that, but if we're trying to smooth this out, why you... This ain't the way. Why you... Hit the button, Rosemary. Come on. Congratulations. You played yourself. What is what? I know. Where? I know. Yo, and by the way, after coming off a massive tour, world tour celebration like why would you even be in a negative space about any body or anything or especially bad bunny i know even the team breezes were like i love you but this is crazy you could have just just sat there ate your wings and zip it and i'm not and again i'm not saying this is right i'm just saying it's facts they're never calling bro the super bowl is never calling I'm sorry It's just Listen There's some things in life Some things in life can't happen And it ain't never happened Maybe five years from now If there's a smooth five years Over the next five Nice and smooth And then he has to have Like some really big mainstream You know not just his people big But like truly gigantic project or something And even then I just When we live in an era now Where if something happens If someone gets popping They all dig up the pictures And the messages I not saying it fair Oh yeah yeah yeah You going to have to tough it out You going to have to tough it through all the reliving I don think there nothing I don think there reliving I think once it goes up people immediately go oh yeah we can And I'm not saying that's fair because he was literally, like him and Rihanna were children. And she's forgiven him. He's apologized. He's done, like, I mean, how much, what's it called, forgiveness can you ask for over, how long has it been now, 20 years? When there is visual evidence of abuse, even the... Yo, Ray Rice and his wife are together. They've always been together. Since that video came out, they made up. They got back together. He goes around and speaks to people about domestic violence. He's, like, done all the right things. He still... He can't get back in sports. Like, it's... Because that video, if you recall, Ebro, the elevator video. I remember. But that's like Cassie and Diddy video. Correct. And that was the thing we said. That's all the things that have been said about Diddy. He can't ever escape the video. Like when people see a man abusing a woman like that, it never leaves your brain. You go, ah, I just. Well, and by the way, since we're talking about abuse and we're in the lowdown, where is the Epstein survivor ad? Did you guys see this? I did. Because how how how is Trump how is Trump talking about moving on from the Epstein files? How are we even having this conversation in public? Like and to your point, Rosenberg, there's pictures of Epstein. There's a video. You saw the video of Epstein and Trump with the little girls in the room. I don't know. Is that a real video? Did you see that? Yeah, I don't I don't know. I was looking to see if that was AI where they're basically looking at some little girls dance I don't know Ibro but I've seen photos that's enough for me it's enough play this play do you have the ad Rasaan? yeah After years of being kept apart, we're standing together. Standing. Standing together. Because this girl deserves the truth. Because she deserves the truth. Because we all deserve the truth. Wow. Now, I was told that that played during the Super Bowl. Is that true? I thought it was supposed to, but I didn't see it, I don't think. Do you see it? I didn't see it. And I also read that it was just released during the Super Bowl, but not necessarily aired. I'm not sure. I'm not sure, because that's very expensive to air. So, yeah, we're living in a time right now where we see names. We see correspondence. they say Donald Trump is mentioned more in the Epstein files than Harry Potter is mentioned in the Harry Potter book. Bro. It's crazy. Of course he wants it to go away. Like times three. He's like, why are we even talking about this? They say Trump's name in Epstein files more times than they say Harry Potter in the entire Harry Potter series. Yeah, whoever did the research to come up with that. Congratulations. You played yourself a while. Like, it's interesting, but I mean. It made me cackle, sadly. No, it's crazy. Sadly, I had to laugh. I had to laugh because it's that crazy. No, but, Laurie, you're right. The quotes of him like, I don't even think it's just time for us to move on. We need to just move on. Meanwhile, Hillary and Bill are like, hey, let's get this cracking. You want to have a conversation? Let's have this conversation in public. In public. They're like, straight up. We're not trying to be behind closed doors. We want the world to see and hear. You think it's going to happen? I just, I really. I thought it was already scheduled. But the public part Yeah they don't want to do it if it's behind closed doors And just televised behind closed doors They want it live And the Trump team doesn't want it in public They want to be able to spin the narrative And control the narrative So it's going to be interesting It would be interesting Even though the legal ramifications would be whatever It would be super interesting If they just did a live got someone to interview them. Hell, get a lawyer. Get a lawyer. Pretend this is what's happening. Interrogate us. We're doing it on ourself live on YouTube, wherever it is. We want the world to see it. And then that way, whatever happens afterwards happens. But maybe you just got to go live on your own. Oh, wow. That would be something. Sometimes you got to go on your own. Thank you for listening to the Ebro Laura Rosenberg show. Beautifully. I see what you did there, and I respect it. Hit the like button. Get the algorithm popping And that was the low, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa down With Laura Stiles Hit that outro The intro's the outro for that You know what I'm saying? Just because it's good Oh, the intro's the outro Yeah Yeah I didn't even realize the intro was the outro I just made that up right now It's probably not But still I like it so much I want to hear it again Okay Good Hold on to your speakers It's time for the lowdown Thank you, Laura Stiles. Thank you, Laura Stiles. Yo, by the way, I heard my boy Mike Tyson had a horrible ad yesterday, too. I didn't see it. He did? I didn't see it, but I heard he had an ad for Maha. Oh, Lord. Congratulations. You played yourself. Yo, somebody find the ad, load it up. We got to watch it. Producer Griff said, yeah, it was nuts. Wait, so Mike Tyson Mike Tyson is talking about Making America healthy again? No, I need to see it I want to see it Jason said, yeah, it was nuts Talking about eating ice cream every day Weighing 345 pounds I need to see this I did not know this was a thing Raul, if it hits us in the super chat Raul says, Trump's name is in the Epstein files More than Jesus in the Bible Look it up Raul! Yo, he just made that up But I'm here for it. The fact. Well, speaking, since Jesus is only in the New Testament. It's possible. It's possible. Because your man trumps in every Testament of the Bepsi Files. Every Testament chapter, verse. He's in Ghislaine Maxwell 311. He's in all of them. Ah, man. It's time for the gurus. Let's go. Keepro Laura Rosenberg at gmail.com or for the gurus specifically. They're theoriginalgurus. Cleanup. At gmail.com. Yes, theoriginalgurus at gmail.com. Where the original gurus unite to shine the light. Ebro, burn the sage. Zen, zen, zen. Hi, Rosenberg. Who's out there who needs us? Good morning, OGs. I need some work slash career advice. I've been a high school teacher and I graduated from college nine years ago. I work in DOE public school, Department of Education public school, for five years and then left to go work at a charter school. I can't say that I enjoy teaching because it's the only career I know and I believe I'm good at it. I do want to change careers, but I'm afraid of starting over, especially in this economy, at a potential entry-level salary. I make six figures and I'm not sure I'll find another job slash career that'll pay as much if I decide to switch careers at this point in my life I know I'm very lucky to be a teacher in NYC and get paid as much as I do but I'm unhappy with my career choice should I try to find a new career that would make me happy or stick with education because the money is good extra info I have a bachelor's in math and master's in education I pay a mortgage in Queens and I have a wedding slash honeymoon to pay off so money is a concern of mine Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You have a wedding and honeymoon to pay off? Like you took out a loan to get married? Maybe. People do that. It happens. I just want to say, if you have to take out a loan. Congratulations. You played yourself. Facts. Am I bugging? Like, why would we do that to ourselves? I had a bigger congrats for this person who's obviously lovely, and we're going to still try to give you real advice. But when she hit us with the extra info, not a master's in education. Congratulations, you played yourself. You can't go all the way to master's in education, but this teaching thing is not for me. But I'll give you this. Maybe where you're teaching is not for you. Sure. Maybe you need to explore other things you can do with your masters. Maybe what you're teaching is not for you. Yeah, but I do think you need to make a plan. Because right now, six figures as a teacher, I know so many teachers who can't even. Well, that's because she has a master's, Laura Stiles. Right. So in teaching, you can make more money if you have more of your, you know. So what I'm trying to say is I think this person needs a plan, though, a financial plan, because it will be a risk. Switching any kind of career, it's a risk. And if you have things you got to pay, maybe make it a goal to pay off certain things and have some money on the side. If you want to experiment and try different things just in case, because you never know. A lot of these jobs might be like, all right, we're going to start you at a super entry level position where you're probably not going to be making the same. Because she did say or he did say that money is a huge concern. Well, yeah, you got to pay off a wedding and a honeymoon. That's a lot. Like, bruh, bruh. Listen, we could go. I just want my lady to know if this Ebro Laura Rosenberg thing doesn't work out, the wedding we're planning, it's not going to happen. Congratulations. You played yourself. No, no, no. We're going to get married. Right. We're just not. We ain't spending rooftop where? What? Catering who? Huh? Who? What are you talking about? It better be Y-O-B. We'll be right here in this living room. And you and I will cook the night before. And I'll let you to death. It's going to taste amazing. And maybe nobody shows up, but it doesn't matter because we're in love and we have each other and we'll still be married. But we are not taken out alone. Yeah. That's tough. I would just say two things. One, consider teaching elsewhere, switching up the teaching you're doing. If you want a complete career switch, I know how hard this will be. You're going to have to do that. You're going to have to build that in the off hours. You can't just leave and hope something works out. Yeah. You would be hitting the button. The button would be loud. If you leave what you have. No, you can't. and without a plan or without a locked in next thing. Please don't. Congratulations, you played yourself. Never get up from the table. Never give up your seat until you got another one. Yeah. So try these things. Maybe change where you teach or change subjects. I don't know. Just try something different. And to Rosenberg's point, just start building whatever you want to do on the side. But definitely do not quit your job. So say the gurus. I'm told before we hit the outro music, we have the Tyson ad. Want to see it? I need to see that, and I need to see Cardi B trying to give a robot a lap dance. Oh, yeah. All right. Two congrats in a row, apparently. Here we go. Yeah. All right. Let's see. My sister's name was Denise. She died of obesity at 25. She had a heart attack. 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. Something has to be done by processed food in this country. Oh, that wasn't bad. I mean, listen, guys, this is one of those things where you have to own up to, yeah, it sucks that it's an ad for RFK's thing, but, like, the message. That wasn't a bad – the message was fine. Who said that that was bad? Like, how did that even – Congratulations. You played just a lot. Go ahead, Griff. No, I was saying Griff said it was crazy. What was crazy about it? Yeah, he said I was 345 pounds and I was eating a quart of ice cream every hour because he really – Mike was really that fat. Listen, Mike has questionable choices and definitely seems to be around these people at times, so there's no way around that. But in spite of the fact that it's RFK and it's Make America Healthy Again and the whole thing seems absurd – Listen, a broken clock is right twice a day. Eat real foods. We have a processed food. You have to remember, that's how RFK got popping in the first place. When RFK got popping with people, it's because he is on the right side of being against processed food. Which a lot of us are. We're tired of our food being poisoned. It's straight poison. And also the things that we have in foods that are banned in other places around the globe. Wasn't he on that type of time too? Yeah, I mean, of course he's doing nothing now, but kissing the feet at the altar and I don't think he's doing anything to actually make anyone healthy again. But that actual ad, I don't actually have a problem with, I don't think. Well, and I love Cardi B and I hope that she found this funny like I did. I really do. Knowing Cardi B, I hope she laughed. And before we watch it, I just want to say, you guys see the moment right before the last piece when she had done enough. She had done enough for the joke. She wanted to pop the photographers. I'm outside looking hot. There are cameras. There's a robot. Let's have fun. Let's do what I do. You'll see the moment when you go, yep, she's done. Walk away. And she goes for one more. And that's the bud. Let's see it. Hi, Courtney. Get away from my man. Yeah. You're the man, you know? You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. Yep. You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. You're the man. cute they love it cute, oh cute, cute, it's still good we're done and and get me out get me out get me out oh my god Come on, bro. Congratulations. You played yourself. Well, my first thought was they haven't given the robot enough AI to tell the robot he ain't supposed to be trying to fall on top of Cardi B. That was my first thought. Nah, he was hyped. The robot was like, oh, this is what we doing? I'm going in. I'm going in. And then the headline that I first saw, though, the first headline of Cardi B threatens to sue TMZ. Bro, they posted a video and she commented under it, take this down or I'm suing. It was a joke. Congratulations. You played yourself. She gets it, bro. Yeah, I love Cardi B. That was so good. Did you hook our fought up with Lewis Hamilton? Nah. Based on what I was seeing, it wasn't appropriate for me to bring up another person. Right, because he was busy. So you're saying going up while he's canoodling with Kim Kardashian, going, yo, I see what you're doing, my guy. Yo, Kim, chill for a second.
