Summary

The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show discusses the 2026 Grammy Awards, Nicki Minaj's controversial social media activity and claims about satanic rituals, the Texas special election where a Democrat won a traditionally Republican seat, and broader concerns about political polarization and media manipulation in America.

Insights
  • Celebrity political engagement carries significant risk; Nicki Minaj's Grammy absence and unsubstantiated conspiracy claims demonstrate how public figures can damage credibility through unfounded accusations
  • The Epstein files have become a tool for distraction and decentralization of public attention rather than accountability, with names appearing in FBI tip lines being conflated with actual evidence
  • Media literacy and context matter critically when processing large document dumps; appearing in files doesn't equate to wrongdoing, and sensationalism obscures actual criminal behavior
  • Insecurity in relationships often manifests as controlling behavior; partners who struggle with self-esteem may project jealousy onto spouses rather than addressing underlying personal issues
  • Music industry voting structures have matured to prioritize artistic merit, with dedicated hip-hop and R&B voters ensuring proper representation of Black artists in major award categories
Trends
Conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated claims gaining traction among mainstream celebrities as political engagement toolDecentralization of public discourse through information overload making it difficult to focus on substantive accountabilityIncreased scrutiny of celebrity political activism and its potential consequences for brand and careerGrowing awareness of relationship dynamics where personal insecurity manifests as controlling or accusatory behaviorEvolution of award show voting demographics to better reflect and celebrate underrepresented artists in hip-hop and R&BPolitical polarization affecting entertainment industry decisions and public perception of artistsHomophobic rhetoric being weaponized in celebrity feuds and social media discourseSuper Bowl halftime show as cultural flashpoint reflecting broader political and social tensions

I'm gonna call right now You really don't We don't usually do curses so like the old white man just screaming and It was good I'm gonna take it over. It's not in the same road and is now and I've said this a lot But it's just more and more true. He's the old guy who's so living in his phone That there are things that happen in there that when it happens like this is tight and when you go into the real world It's not that good. It's good and terrible My god, I mean yeah, I don't I just don't know if it's worth what we're just I mean, I see why you liked it at the time I Just don't know if it's hitting like that But it hit for you in the moment it didn't hit it was just it the song is terrible He's terrible looking the videos terrible right and he's saying it's off stuff is going on. It's perfect It's of the moment come on man guys ain't getting it you guys not seeing the vibes man Listen, you're not really feeling the type of time or no no, he listen the vibe is right. It is after what was this since we were last together what happened So much I feel like so much don't lemon fiasco Which by the way in the end I just say for the record there were a lot of messages about like where are you guys? We got to talk about John lemon and I my my feelings long-term played out Which what it that well no it was really your initial feeling It was a big old nothing burger in the end. It was great pub for gone lemon I was I still scary as hell bro. These people are nuts. It was scary for that other late particularly for that other lady Do you see the video of the lady in her house? Yeah, who they went who they went and bum rush now do we ever hear I think her name is Georgia Fort and my saying name right could be right do we ever hear if she got out at the same time I don't know because that's that's the way scarier situation not someone who has tons of publicity and a team and people keeping an eye Well in mind you don't let me got scooped up at a Grammy party Right she was in her house with a family four or five o'clock in the morning when when people looking through her windows and her kids in the house Yeah, and I believe it wasn't only two people I think like five total independent journalists all black the guy Well, yes all black the guy from the local black lives matter chapter woman journalist There was another organizer that was there And I think it played out where Federal judges like basically were like this is absurd. This is crazy. Yeah, well for Don Lemon I don't know about for that the thing I never saw official information on her So I would like to know whether grip can we get an update if there is one I mean listen I Hear you on the Don Lemon stuff, but it's still it was still scary to me No, no, it was people do not follow the law. They don't care and what a celebration in Maga landed like arrest Don Lemon No, I Both can be true. Yeah, I knew he was sit. Come on man Don for what Don's operation has been recently This was the dopest thing that could have happened. He's on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. It's all happening This was and they had absolute zero on him. I mean he was literally just there doing nothing. No, it was it was Listen, he got home and started calling the president out of his name all kinds of curses. No, no All right Georgia Fort guy out Georgia for you got out to okay. It's great If you are in the press and you are You know going out covering things There has always been a protection for you and so to Laura's point. Yes, it is very concerning That someone literally just at the scene of a thing Can be arrested for sure that is terrifying and for people who haven't been ever been arrested or know how these things work The federal government bra the attorney general of the United States of America Trying to you know implicate you in something that's when you're just when you're just doing showing up to an event to cover it is insane But I think what we have to do is remind ourselves of of how a much of a banana republic we are Chosen nation right truly at this time truly. Yeah, there's so much that you can't take serious. It's tough It's tough to flip your brain and and and look at that office and the White House and say okay, I can't take this series Normally we've all been conditioned to take that stuff serious Well, and you also have to take it serious because your life could depend on it So you can't take it serious, but you need to take it serious. Yeah, well all of us. Yeah, all of us who speak out loud about this stuff Need to take it serious. Well, did you see excuse me, but did you guys see that a lot of people who have been protesting with you're just standing outside with a Assign or You're actively marching they'll scan you and they're like already snatching people's global entry TSA precheck like though They're intentionally messing just messing with you. Yeah, that's all you do have to pay attention because it's very real well in the in the uh You should be taking a serious file, but it's not really that serious Donald Trump was tweeting or truthing whatever is called about the Texas Democrat election And really riding for a excuse me the election in Texas and really riding for the Republic right Democrat ended up winning over the West in a seat that hadn't been Democrats in 91 and here's Donald Trump who was Truthing tweeting whatever you call it on social media about the Republican supporting the Republican definitely not truthing No, no, it's just definitely not truthing. It's not true. It's not true. It's true social Yeah, there you go play the video. We're sorry. Please you have this video He's I didn't hear but somebody land In Texas special election I'm not involved with that. That's a local Texas. You were talking about it on social media And this person Things like that Would you know whether or not it's terrible? I'm not on the balance and you don't know whether You put the Democrats in you'll end up with open borders again You'll end up with primal over Christmas no crime anymore. No crime anymore. Yeah, no In recorded history here in 1900 that's a long time ago So it's very good. I don't know I didn't know I mean I know there's a race going to and say you didn't know anything about it I know there's a race going to be one isn't definitely not truth Yeah, I'm definitely not truthing right there because the first I was wondering is this saying that Either a he's lying point blank, which is obviously on the table Or and this would be interesting does he not type every one of his crazed tweets? Other people who know notice he have other people who speak fluent trump around him They know the crazy cap absolutely they do all the things Now you know you remember I don't got to produce them like the iron cheeks twitter account. Yeah respectfully I know the guys who ran iron cheeks twitter. I don't know if he ever put up a tweet But if at some point he did at some point he certainly stopped and they were like no no we know the iron cheeks crazy cadence Type for him What's here who bought this Ask someone worse bottle of water.

Why are they even here because they're there to be charged What's wrong with you why'd you start to show it that terrible freestyle that no one wanted I thought I'm producing rather it's together since I put it in the garage you think that oh my god Congratulations, I play myself absolutely right and can you get a camera on basketball? We need to work on that because when you just call his name out the lucky gifts of But the funny part is then he acts like he can't literally pick up his phone right now and see what I sent him and get it together Like it was in the he's sitting there He's still hasn't picked up a phone. I mean because it I think he has to go pick up your phone Yeah, but now dress he's the same guy You should help him out. There's two people over there. It's a lot bro. You're asking a lot.

Yes. Yes. Yes How many things have from the Grammys should we stay away from it this point in the show so we don't ruin the run down Why don't we just do the run down early because I feel like that's gonna set the tone or or you are live and direct from LA from Versus you want to talk about that? I mean we can absolutely talk about versus are we ever gonna do a versus recap again without ever happening again Uh, maybe maybe I don't know how do I I don't know how much This is an awkward conversation because wasn't this isn't this now a full-on apple event Yeah, yeah, so how I will pull the apple complex and versus It's a combo. I guess the question is did people care? I don't I just don't know It was number one on socials. I mean like at the time people cared I was in a different time zone. I couldn't it was the middle of the night for me So you didn't see it you know when I couldn't sleep At five in the morning in this re-odd I went on and started watching a little bit of it by the way if you missed it rose mergus and Saudi Arabia Yeah, I was inside your a bit and I I turned it on and Saw a couple of dope songs playing. I did not like the setup in the room at all you didn't know not on TV It was horrible really I was annoyed at the crowd the crap Wake up wake up but that was my point was that the crowd or was that the setup it felt like nothing It felt like they were wandering around and no one was paying attention in the room It felt like it was the crowd It did and a lot of people just blamed Los Angeles. That's not that's not fair And I didn't think that was fair Um, but I think it was just more of an industry problem. Yeah, you know, it was too cool No, because the people who crowded to the front was the industry people God how big was the room? How many people did it hold? That was probably a couple hundred people in there Oh, it was only a couple hundred though. Oh, so it's small to start out with It's not a big but more of a reason you have fun. I know Yeah, but you're asking that's an impossible ask now You're telling me there's a few hundred people and the one and to get in there you had to know somebody Well, no, there was there was they wanted to have fans in it and what have to do with combo Too many industry people wanted to show oh god To be a boring. Yeah, but why the room so small? Why is it because it's just that size of the room I mean, I'm not mad at the room. I just wish people had had a better time You know what I mean? I wanted some energy. Yeah, I didn't it but the songs were I was like this is good This is really as good a one as you could hope for from a standpoint of music Oh music quality and the guest were dope. I mean, I only saw big Sean, but he was dope. Who else showed up? Oh big Sean Ray Schrammer Ray Schrammer was there. Let me see Those are the only Features right because I saw Koli Bailey in there, but I think she was just hanging out. Chloe was just hanging out T. I was just hanging out Um, who else was there? I thought it was a good time. I had a great time. I like I would look I liked how it looked on television. I didn't like the crowd. Yeah, same. I liked how it looked Just I wish the crowd was the only the only other thing is let me just say this about the like how it looked because the crowd isn't loud I now don't like how it looks because there's mad people on stage So I feel like there's more people on stage than there are in the crowd that irritates Oh, when you talk about look you're still talking about people though. I'm talking about the setup Yeah, I kid that's all I was really paying attention. I was like what's going on? Why were they performing for? Because it you I couldn't help but be affected by that I hear them saying crazy awesome stuff and the responses crickets now What does that have to do with the recap that I asked you about? That's all I had. Oh, well, we ever recap one again because I was just talking about the music I mean the music's amazing. I don't know you guys tell me what they're talking about who wanted who lost We were I think it's pretty unanimous to hit boy Mike will one this really yeah I think that's pretty unanimous well I would be interested then to go through the songs because that's an interesting breakdown Yeah, no, and that's what I mean Yeah, and when you go through the catalogs of Mike Will and hit boy, it's I mean It was already a tough putt for hit boy Mike will's got some bangers Hit boy does too, but he's got to lay his out in a way To make sure he lands right but the funny thing is off the top of my head I wouldn't be able to think of all the Mike Will bangers except to hear them when you hear them That's the first one I think of them See this is why it's hard for me to think of what they are I just need to hear them You know I'm saying you literally just made a bunch of noises I hear it No, well, maybe I'll pay you around this week. We'll go over let me say this is what I meant to say It doesn't feel like because we're out of the pandemic and it's a different time I don't know if the urgency feels the same when we were doing it in the first iteration It was the only thing moving So the next morning it was like we don't hit this we failed Now I think it's we don't fail if we don't do it, but we should because it's a good music Well, it's also Mike Willing hip-boy and if you love hip-hop and you love with that contribute And if you love music get a time where people ain't really listening to that much music celebration music And one of my biggest pet peeves right now because even on this show like You get on YouTube you can't play with their music. I like you know, by the way I got in this business for music. I like music. I don't know if you guys know it's I like playing music I like listening to music. I wish more people listen to music I mean I'm into music If people aren't here for the music anymore, bro. They just want to hear yo-yo's talk What's what's music if they want to music they can still listen to the radio Although you can say the reason that I listen to the radio is because the radio stop playing music right Well, at least it's exposing you to music or having some diverse tape. It's been for a while. Yeah, yeah By the way a lot of people still listen to music of course and listen to the radio Let's not let's not play that fact. I know but they did there was the people used to overstate what radio did However, the one thing that was always true is They did get to a point where they started spending songs literally like 200 times a week which means it's playing all day long Playing the Nielsen game. Yeah, playing the Nielsen game and that did that does make an impact So I don't know it does feel like all people don't listen to music Like it seems like all people do is watch yo-yo's talk about God knows what Well, that's in this bubble you gotta get out of this bubble if you're on YouTube or in the podcast space or like what you do for a living It's just yo-yo's talking. Yeah, and in my other here. I'm just now. I'm just a yo-yo talking right But in my other world you're a yo-yo talking but people really there to hear the music. No, I play music right now You tune into me at three o'clock every day. It's 90% music most of the time right like I'm playing classics new stuff Talking about albums three o'clock and it's free on Apple music you should get why I didn't happen you hit radio and it's free three o'clock Um, yeah, no people do that music music. It's good man speaking with so I've resting piece the Michael 5000 wants man listen bro Does that was that a that's a that was a surprise no Yeah, I don't I didn't know that people knew that swish a house founder Michael 5000 Watts was sick or anything. I never heard that Yeah, that was I was came out of nowhere, but yeah, that happened over the weekend. So yeah, resting piece They added them to the the thing last night good good glad they got them in you guys watch the end Do you see the whole thing? I did not y'all haven't seen it yet. I saw the d'Angelo tribute you know see did see it That's that idea so the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, I saw the whole thing, but I only saw like I didn't stay up for the d'Angelo tribute We came after the Aussie tribute. Yep, which was fire But then the d'Angelo tribute man the two parts that really messed me up When ballad came out and did untitled. Oh my god Ballad is just someone who who is super important to that Sekt of music and culture, but doesn't get a lot of big out loud. Yeah In mainstream places praise So to see any so good and a contemporary of d'Angelo so to hear him Perfectly nailed that was amazing and then the other part that messed me up was When they played they did the started doing Roberta flak And they played feels like making love and had the picture of both of them up there that sent me bruh And then why club comes out and the John forte picture goes up. I was like oh man. It was it was beautiful It was really lovely. It was a lucky day Raphael Sadeek when I heard her say Raphael Sadeek. Oh my god It was really dope man. It was I wonder if Questlove was like behind that So it was really well Whoever orchestrated that did a really good job making it all makes sense I could have dealt without the super sprig if I'm gonna nitpick which is what I do If I'm in a nitpick, which is what I do. Okay. I didn't need the sped up brown sugar that bothered me I didn't need that I want to tell me yo around I don't know just brown sugars a slow song. Let's I know we have limited time But not into the spread of not brown sugar. I wasn't gonna. I wasn't gonna do you because I'm not you know Play my self critique these professionals at what they do, but I hate it's more the decision on how we're gonna do this beforehand Everyone's actual execution and performance was great, but yeah, I don't need to sped up.

You don't even want you know, by the way, I did you I did he takes in things for like two seconds And you go this is my version of comedic I remember that he really likes Trevor. No, he likes a lot of things. I don't know I like Trevor. No, he's a nice guy. I think he does a great job for a super mainstream show that's family oriented You're looking for what are you looking for Louis Ck? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? Have I ever expressed? Have I ever Andrew dice clay to host the Grammys? They're going to enjoy Is that where you going there were very mainstream people who were way better like when we were like the Billy Crystal Error the like there were people who were No, I'm bad at here Billy Christ. I love Billy crystal not but he's you're acting like he was more edgy I don't know. I don't want edgy. I don't want edgy. I want you money. I don't want like you walk around in front of the people And they all look awkwardly scared like weird farm animals. It didn't work. It just was Everybody does that. No, that's that was the Grammys thing the walk around in front of the crowd I'm not set up that's listen. He's your friend I Like this book. I like what he stands for. I don't like him as a host I'm glad that it's over. He's not coming back. So you guys are good guys out I just got coming back. Yo, we are this the the wussification of America This is the same thing as our Jay Z combo why you have Trevor Noah Oh, he Trevor Noah.

Oh, run drop run drop I made it this and I say based of facts. Oh Savage we're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans love that line Um Also, I want to say to a people I know is It's tough to know not to hate on these days and I was thinking Sometimes we get Contaminos. I don't know how to say that in English contaminated. I figured I figured it out. My Spanish is great I picked that Get more powerful with more hate the only thing that is more powerful than hate is love So Please We need to be different if we fight we have to do it We'd love There you go bad bun. Oh, man. Yo when he sat there and he They they announced him and he was tears coming down. I was I wanted to jump through the screen rose breaking give him a big hug He was he was he was really good. Yeah, it felt really sincere. It was it was a lovely moment Yes, well, I think you're I think walked away with three. Do people realize putting out the earthrails? Do people realize that this album from bad bunny and we're bad bunny is that in his career? The the spotlight that's on him for what he's talking about Uh The I mean the accomplishment you just mentioned first all Spanish album the win album of the year At a time when what's going on in that country is crazy like that that's an overwhelming amount of spotlight pressure You know for one person like when you like so for him to kind of You know like you said Laura styles. He's just kind of there and he was Overwhelmed with emotion when he went up for album of the year um for that to be happening You know you gotta get bad bunny some grace and then this is a week out for the Super Bowl I love that he I love that he still did it showed up said something All these eyeballs on him people are ready to Frage days on message. He's he does not shy. He does not shy away Think about it guys a couple years ago. He led one of the biggest protest in Puerto Rico I'm glad you brought that up Laura because I I kind of Curved around bringing that up are people aware well. Oh no not that portion But are people aware that there are politicians in Puerto Rico? Politicians who serve Puerto Rican constituencies? Mm-hmm who are Republican? They hate bad bunny. Oh yeah They hate bad because he's proven to be more powerful than they are then they are They won't hold you out and he's and he's a big-time progressive during What was his name Ricky Rosello? That that was the guy that they were trying to get out They got out actually was him Racine and they and Ricky Martin only ones who drop what they were doing to go to Puerto Rico and lead one of the biggest protests They've ever had so cool for change and never stopped well. Yes, what now we didn't have the rest of America coming after him starting next Monday Cuz I don't think he's gonna hold back on Sunday. I don't think so either so well He doesn't really I don't think you really has to do anything other than what he's been doing That's exactly right even if he does nothing like even if he just does bad bum because you know his show His his show in Puerto Rico that we went to Can you imagine how America's gonna feel if the first thing they see is African drumming at the Super Bowl You know, they don't like it. Why all this anthems in white You meant that to be enough out of here. I've had her the ball. No, I meant the bomb because they play his B It's gonna be turned up from what that is Because that's the honestly his live show while very cool is almost somewhat scaled back It's not like an insane. Yeah, it's a cool set, but it's not insane Super Bowl's always you know, yeah, that's what we're we're going to DC this weekend.

There you go But I don't need to like watch every player. I'm gonna like be sad. It's not like one of those You just can't just even I thought you was gonna get to ESPN New York and do the dance I thought you was gonna get over there like I can't wait for the Super Bowl. No, I don't get come on that dance. I do some dances I can only wait for Sam Darnal No, I'm not that hyped. I'm not Let's go Are you gonna want well you you're gonna be at the game right yeah, I'll be there. We're gonna pay attention to the game or not. Yeah, I'm Watch just sit down I watch I watch I mean I'm there so Senior I'm watching I have a beverage. What was the last football game you're right? Super Bowl Yo, he only goes to the suit. You know how insane that is no no, hold on hold on do you understand how boozy This dude only hold on he only watches the Super Bowl Hold on he only watches the Super Bowl and he only watches in person That's the only game This guy goes to or watches is the suit. Yo, he's like your worst girlfriend They go to the Super Bowl Like your girlfriend is like oh, yeah, do I just want mine and then just like oh by the way I'll be in a box of the Super Bowl every year That's what man, yo, and I hear these Listen last year we were in New Orleans, right? I mean listen all do respect. I love the city of New Orleans But we gotta talk about the Super Bowl Oh Man, it is watch I just like the vibe of being there, but it's it's old. No, no, I love I love the setup I love how you move around it. There's so much, but just audio video the boxes the just the The con core. It's just not no. It's just not upgraded. No, this new places. This is this is the Levi's stadium This is one of the more recent ones. I think only thing newer is what so far. Yeah, they're only few. Oh, it's gonna be fire Did you did you finish by the way the the run now? No, we just kind of went in I do want you know you do not have to start the intro. Yeah, just just talk like the intro. Why you guys want to Can we try to love to our girl K-Lani? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, first two Grammys for best R&B performance and best R&B song for folding we actually have audio That everybody is so powerful in this room and in this room later and together We're stronger and numbers to speak against all the injustice going on in the world right now Yeah So instead of letting you be just a couple of you here and there I hope everybody is inspired to join together as a community of artists and speak out against what's going on And I believe it's safe Yeah, I can't I mean you knew you knew she got you shoes and get the ball rolling with the F.I. situation Well, and never forget what over uh K-Lani just overcame in the last two years It was canceling K-Lani trying to cancel it out here for our music video where she had Palestinian flags Yes, then they were canceling constantly canceled her central park summer stage on the heels of all that still came back around How to number one record still came back around one of all these Grammys Which also it does reinforce my big point which is Even when it comes to the most cancelable subject Israel etc People still don't get canceled Some do I mean we got canceled When you are working for an employer that can go we turn off your mic when you're an artist and you create maybe who got cancel It may be I don't know even even yade in get canceled I don't know I don't know if got crappy and bad and no one gets it but it depends like yays different though Because he was already Kanye right but but if you're not that level and K-Lani wasn't not at that level No, not at a big level not that level. Yeah. She's only gotten bigger over the last couple years But she lost some money lost some opportunities, but people rallied for her though True people did also rallied for and then she came with folded and she came with forever You come with you come with your you do what you're doing and you do it well But I don't think it's as easy as just going as you're not cancelable. That's I don't think it's that I'm just saying I find the notion of canceled to be a sort of made up We're not canceled either we're sitting right here. There's mad people watching right guys. Let's be real right who really got canceled We haven't made any money though, but so we're kind of canceled You pocket their cancel I'm just saying like it's just such an over in the case of K-Lani She probably dealt with more than anyone else had to like she dealt with a lot knows a lot and even that It means I didn't know well. No wait hang on There were reports of people getting dropped from agencies not being able to get jobs in Hollywood for speaking out against his That was a thing. I'd like to know who they are. There was a whole list. There was articles. Let's see Let's see if there were people let's see if there were people who were getting jobs previously and stopped getting jobs Because I just feel like cancel being canceled is not real guys It's something it's holy listen I can't walk that walk with you I don't actually got cancer. They disappeared. They stopped doing anything and they were and they were really big before Now you what yours say here's what I think the nuance is you're not that big yet And you're at a big agency And you taking a stand that's as bold as being anti-Israel could make them not interested in you or drop you at your agency That could happen, but that's cancel yeah or let's just say you've plateaued as an artist and maybe you aren't in your highlight or twilight No, you're in your twilight Um, and you get dropped and people don't want to work with you because of something you said in support of Palestinians against Israel right like we can't sit here and act like speaking out against Israel isn't dangerous Not doing it. We're not but we're also not gonna pretend that it's ending people's everything right Sometimes it can I just want the example. I think it ends it and certain opportunities The lots of things do I mean diddy's more did you'll get you canceled maybe Right now what do you mean diddy'll like the being diddy doing what diddy did harming people physically and having crazed Orgis that the whole world here's about people come out and people will still support based always going on if you're if you're black And you've harmed people you're in jail if you're white and associated with Israel and the massage you gonna get off I mean, you might you know, well, why didn't he went to jail and why didn't we did jail? But Trump's chilling was to that you can't just say white the Trump's orange. It's a different No being orange will have you different out here you the Teflon Don I mean we didn't even talked about the Epstein files no matter what is there People keep sending stuff like up here we go. I'm like What and we do got to talk about Jay Z and push his name trying to be tied into this whole thing You know, I knew you wouldn't mention that because you're scared you want to go at Nicki Minaj But you don't want to talk about the real criminals in the Epstein files says me psycho bar 423 All right, all right, but but I guess the way I understand it is Jay Z and push his names were mentioned in a FBI tip line. Yes, not in the Epstein file. Yes, they had no correspondence There's not a thousand emails between Jay Z and Epstein or push and Epstein that's not a thing And technically this FBI tip line is not even the Epstein file Guys, it was somebody called in and made these accusation in 2019 by the way. Yes, but by the way Never investigated. It was just they they I have my own theories on how all of a sudden it's like Jay Z and push it That's what I was like let me know oh you oh you can't trick is gonna be part of this too But he wasn't right but he wasn't but it wouldn't have been shocking. I hear you say I hear you're going Yes, but but there was no evidence no charges and nothing but we have to we have to say there's some sort of like Internet these are internet or like you know, just people who felt a certain way you saying is People with an axe to grind. Oh you say axe An axe But but but here's where we have to be fair about the Epstein files This is where what's good for the goose is good for the gander The Epstein file your name appearing in the Epstein files is not the be all endo It's just not and so that that goes but I don't think they have are in the Epstein files I think that's the point. They're not in Epstein's files where they corresponded with Epstein were on a flight log But they came out in the dump but it came out in a dump from the government But they were a part of an FBI tip line I think Laura saying that they dumped that stuff in there as a distraction maybe from the actual Files because the files are egregious the correspond like what's the woman Barry Weiss her her wife the head of CBS Yeah, her wife has 1000 correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein So you're saying that's different than your name being mentioned once yes exactly totally agree with that But we also have to remember there are Sometimes things get mentioned there when you go read what it was you realize that what it was is Someone said to someone this thing and now that thing is in there But it is just hearsay And we're like this is enough to end the person. I'm like no, it's not that's one person who said it's a one person Now I'm not talking about someone like Trump who has tons of stuff in there And we know he's close with Epstein But there are other people who you hear get thrown into it and I'm like bro just because they got mentioned or Prince Andrew who they got photos of him Well, you know print no listen prince Andrews one of the Prince Andrew Clinton Hillary Trump. Well, but I think Hillary. I mean Then there's a hard part of like you were friends with these people You I don't think Hillary was hanging out while while orgies were going on Sorry, I don't know they choose not to vibe I get from Hillary Not the vibe I get that Hillary was like oh yeah bill. Let's get into it. They got they got chicks today I don't know so I do I do think there was multiple things going on at one time And that's complicated for people to understand yeah, but when it comes to this guys it was a tip line It says the uh jazzy and push it to their names appear simply because the FBI kept a record of the public tip line That has now been unsealed and it's so anyone could have made the tip is what we're saying And you want the timeline didn't make sense that it no so the the allegation against jazzy was 1996 when his first album came up Sorry, he didn't know Harvey Weinstein in 1996 He didn't now we do hard jazzy was friends with Harvey Weinstein's on point or uh work associates He produced they produced films together like that did happen later But in 1996 jazzy wasn't at any of these things, but that's pleasure And how but this is back to the point of sort of what can end up bothering me you have to remember If Jeffrey Epstein is who we think he is Which is likely some sort of like a massage agent who israel was using to gather information on powerful people So they could get whatever they want done which they've been successful which they obviously did we're I don't know if you know like and that's the other part you have to know Israel isn't shy about the fact that they are down to do crazy things to get what they need done That's one of the things people admire about Israel They're military and their operations and the things that they do to protect themselves is some deep-ish If that's what Jeffrey Epstein was You realize that he's intentionally in those emails you can see him trying to get people caught up Hey, he's fishing. That's what his but that's what his job was was to be a fish. That's right His job now you had to be a real scumbag To end up getting hooked by that fish because what he was using as bait was often underage kids But you have to know that a lot of those emails were like Epstein said to so-and-so X, Y, and Z in an email He wanted those things in the email He was you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah his point was that he knows and he knew his emails were being watched And he knew the emails were eventually getting you can just read it that way you can big oh he's This may be true, but that does not excuse all of that being facts. That does not excuse The the pedophilia the abuse the murder and everything that definitely took place. Well, absolutely not It's good. I have to say I had to say it. Yeah, by why no because they're all going trying to think that it's fine Yeah, no, it's all good But you also have to realize right now we're saying it talking about a file Chalked full of murder and abuse of young girls young boys. Yes Right and the trafficking of children and we have begun to talk about it like It was last it was last night's nicks Lakers game Yeah, that's dangerous Yeah, it is that's dangerous like it's like if you really think about how like regular It's become well That's also because again the meaning of it is lost that's sort of part of what of the some of the context I'm trying to give It's not to get rid of the terrible stuff that's in there and how We are basically learning from this that people who are admired and powerful and important in America were a part of horrible abuse of children potentially murder and snuff films and rape and all the worst things But it the way it's been handled now has been tossed into this huge conversation. They're trying to do that's meaningless That's what they're trying to do some I believe that the I believe all this whole treasure trove of three million docs and all of that and kind of it's kind of like a hiding and plain sight kind of thing right Where everyone is basically losing the plot Not knowing who is behind this not paying attention to who's but and then on top of it Not even know what the recourses what actually happens now It's a Rosenberg Rosenberg's point. It's all done on purpose guys. Yes. Everything is done on purpose to decentralize us now You want to hit a lowdown real quick because I mean we start dancing Listen up.

I was clearly not well. Is that where we're going here? Well, so back to that this oh her saying that just takes me back to the people She was just hanging out with up. Yeah, no, not that me bro. Not them. No, I know, but Our favorite artists, but you was just at with Trump in them there. Oh, we get sure to wetting names are in literally documentation of people not a person. I've heard multiple people multiple people saying that Donald Trump was abusing sexually abusing children not one person not two people many people You know, I've heard the audio of him saying to a 11-year-old girl in 10 years. I might date you I've heard him say that if his daughter wasn't his daughter, he would date her. I've heard it They don't care. They they're psycho. She's making whatever she wants I understand honestly, I just needed to say no, you have to say it because I just saw you hanging out with people who have Documented out that's her home now though. Those are her people. That doesn't matter you bro Standard doesn't matter, but it matters to me. No Why are you worried about you know he bros? Can he bro with the button? Yeah, he's Congratulations, he plays himself. Stay worrying about truth and facts. I don't know what you're doing The one my one disappointment from the weekend. There's a couple things. He's still got to get to before the show's over number one Cardi was awesome on SNL. I saw it was incredible. The one disappointment I have is I wonder if they said to her Do you want to play Nicki Minaj in our opening scene? Because that didn't cross their mind as the biggest because they ended up doing opening with Pete Davidson playing home in and it was it was fine But like the biggest thing moving last week was Nicki Minaj at the White House and I'm glad she didn't I am not I would tell you I'm glad for her just to stay away because right now Cardi is what she's about to go on tour She had to ask an o-moment. Yeah, she got her tour starts in like a few weeks soon sales her great She's not mentioning any of that and she can move she's got her her husband's in a super bowl. Yeah, her like why listen He bro you're not toxic. How much positive things happening? No, you're not talking. You're only thinking about yourself Like how good it was actually thinking about Cardi like it would have just been funny like they're just I'm not like you I don't just think about myself. Oh my no, I just spiking the football as I just myself I want to see Nicki suffer publicly. I want to I want to see some time here Yeah, come on Cardi to spike the football Spike because Nicki's a horrible person and she's always waiting waiting for not only the last week Prior to this. I just thought she was like an a hole Now I see oh, you're willing while the country you are willing right now Yo bro, there's different times to get down with this whole thing the time that she chose to get down with this is the most wicked time You could have ever chose So I was just here because Cardi is a good person and you're right you are correct. She made the right choice I just couldn't help but think about what a football spike it would have been But either way it was a football spike because while you're here unraveling here some weirdo Republican deep right deep state lunatic wedding on saturday She was hope she was the musical performer on snl crushing it. That's right Look at me and while and while the whole audience at the Grammys Sheered that you weren't there Can we isolate Trevor norges and Nicki Minaj is not here tonight in the chair I hear in the chair because that is you know that Laura that's what center she stayed off twitter for a while That's what center. Oh, and she said something homophobic about Trevor Noah too. Do you see that? Yeah, I think so yep. Yeah, she basically said Trevor Noah's gay everyone knows his boyfriend But he's not out of the closet. She also doubled down on the homophobia against on lemon when she went on Evil maniacal white supremacist Stephen Miller's wife Katie Miller's talk show on there. She was extra homophobic towards Don Lemon. It's crazy that homophobia of all things has been her like bread and butter right now That's crazy to me, but what's crazy is how like Listen, I know it's just comments, but people are like I don't care. I don't care. I'll still support her I still not enough. I gotta tell you Not enough to maintain it you mean? No, it's not enough. I mean the way to bar your coming around because you didn't you ask early If we thought this would affect her you think this is really gonna take her down Well, I don't know if it'll I think people will still hate listen to the out and that's what I said Okay, I don't know right now. I think people will go listen and it will be talked about but you think it is hurting her Why just tell I can tell by the barbs there y'all not the energy's not the ELR me if you're in the ELR me on my socials Yeah, I was never sure that we would have a squad that could stand next to the bar. Are they fighting? I mean a couple of people in the ELR army was giving the shellac Back Scrazy I love to see them by the way. I only got two people, but still no, I need those two can they come to mind to yeah ELR means for the whole squad because the because the barbs are good at finding a message about their leader, but they're weak now They are they do feel weakened. It's weak And even the OVOs ain't really rocking like they were really yeah, they were rocking for a minute speaking of Then here they come the OVO hose just showed up yo They've been frustrated a whole thing the whole thing speaking of the OVO hose though that other things I wanted to mention from last night Tyler the creator's performance was awesome. No, I wouldn't you saw that never disappoint. No, I was next level though Tyler just man, I'm so proud of that guy was amazing Um and Kendrick sets the record for all time rap Grammys. Yep. It's when he's saying Kendrick goes his mouth. No, we do have to give Drake credit for that line He was right. I was a line right no, when Kendrick opens his mouth. They give him a Grammy. It's a fact He's at the record already. Yeah, he's young in his career. It's early. Yeah, officially surpassed Jay Z Where's he had 25 and let's be clear when we when we throw out these accolades and we say these things It happens because of the people that Scent of standard before you got there and Because as the voting the hip-hop voting inside the Grammys Mature like if you really get to understand how the Grammys works right if you're You know voter and you're Have produced the record or written a record or engineered a hip-hop record and you're voting on these hip-hop records The people in there actually care about hip-hop enough To make sure that these representations happen like that's important I think that's an important piece of Understanding how the Grammys works is that there are people in there voting for R&B a hip-hop and black music that care enough to make sure That a the artists that are really putting forward great art and great music gets bored. Yeah, you're 100% great and thoughtfulness Right like that's I think I don't want to I don't want that missed. No, that's true Um, but they're the three people all time who was feel like they've been properly awarded in that category. It's Jay Z M&M and Kendrick Dave listen, I think between them. It's like 70 something like that or close to it. So what you want to see true That yeah that beep was the power going out on this iPad because in our the ovio hose game the ovio hose came and more importantly Just as a as a as a team.

He's gone through my phone when I'm not around He makes comments about my outfits like I'm trying to impress somebody At first it felt almost silly like oh, he's jealous But this has been going on for about two years and it's getting worse now Which just makes me mad and honestly hurt when I get upset He says I have a guilty conscience Bro, you're the one acting like you have a guilty conscience and before anyone says it No, I don't think he's cheating. I've checked thoroughly. There's nothing. He's never given me that vibe This feels more like just his own self-esteem issue We've done therapy before after our first child and we actually communicate well overall This is just the one issue That keeps growing and I don't know how to handle it without returning into a fight How do I support my husband through his insecurity without dimming myself or feeling like I have to shrink to make him comfortable Who is this deep? I know He needs therapy dola And then he needs to unpack what's really going on with him and then y'all need to do it together That's I mean because yes, she should not have to as she quote quoted or said dim herself Yeah, and congratulations to you by the way by working hard and and just changing your body and That sounds fine. That's the way congratulations to him sounds like great news for him too. Yeah, I don't know all my man's doing this is jealous Jealous he should be happy for himself You just your wife just became a baddie. Yeah, but he's not a bad. He stuck it. She evolved and he's not He's a slouch And he know but and that's really what's happening is he's looking in the mirror and going I suck and she doesn't anymore and I don't know what to do I got my extra I got my extra and he doesn't know how to articulate that And and humble himself in the process and how long have you been there since they were forever 20 year So there were children. Yeah, yeah, so that's what it is and he doesn't He's never probably dated that much like they've not all they've only been with each other so he doesn't really know how to Deal with any of this he doesn't have the skills man go get therapy So yeah, be for him and then maybe maybe be like yo, you want to jump on this fitness train? Let me help you And someone please tell him Whatever he's saying to you. He's actually what does that call self Self-proficizing yeah, or or projected project with yeah, but almost he's gonna make it so oh Yeah, there you go. That's what I was looking for Yeah, nice you're gonna make her want is why you're putting the idea in her head. She's not even thinking about that right He wants a reason to be mad at her because the way it's me and one day y'all gonna be in a bathroom together brushing your teeth And you're gonna have your stomach hanging looking nasty and she's gonna look over and then look at herself and be like Why am I still here and this guy's negative? That's the thing if you could just change your attitude your Gucci now You're putting the spotlight on yourself. I hope he'll be open to therapy by himself. I hope I hope she can talk to me Sound like you need to be open to the gym and then it could be a family But you are making that whole thing up she could right back and say no, that's not at all. He's just an a whole I mean, I'm just going on you know, what she's given yeah, but she said nothing I'm even worse if he's just an a hoe I know cuz I was actually going positive route where it's fixable You can do some work you can go work get some cool. I hear you. It's a nice thought But it's like we just that information is not there maybe that information out there though All she said was he's jealous all the time and I don't know why I like the version you told because now he can go to the gym And they can feel good together whatever he's been in good shape the whole time. He just can't handle it I'll make where you're at break up with him burn this whole thing down Well cuz the beast Justin a whole wash. He's staying What do we even tell them? They hold they put on the first solo Laura. I'm going with you man This your guy is your guy that you claim is a guru over it is the guy that you've been rocking with on this What you made up a scenario that didn't show you no, I didn't I read the info and I reply you go Listen what he needs to do is go to the gym You guys let me be a guru. So I was trying to be positive, which is like just hit some abs change your diet feel good about yourself And then you stop being jealous of your woman if that part is true then you nailed it She might be listening like damn. That's not even the problem though So don't we have to give both scenarios? Well, then if the problem is he's just mean about this like this is man No, the problem is this has made him uncomfortable you and I don't get it So we're looking for what another thing could be But some dude do get that way one okay, so boom. Let's play let's play this out. She improved herself Yeah, the person the person that she's with now is mad in treating her bad because she wanted to do better for herself That's not why He's doing it because she's hot and he's insecure and gets jealous But that is why then But that's not I don't know. Don't you think we're oversimplified there? We just can't act like there aren't guys who are like this We've seen them and you're like why wouldn't if he has shown signs of this before? Would it this wouldn't be new then well, well no, what he not if she was really looking like a much worse version of herself And he was literally at home going I'm fine. No one's going after he's terrible He's terrible it all leads to terrible. So your go your version is the only one where he's not terrible That's what I'm trying to do here, man Oh, let's hope that I guess I hope you're right. I think he's jealous I think so he's insecure and he's jealous and that's the positive side if he's not insecure and jealous And he's just mean because you wanted to improve yourself. I just don't know this is over, ma'am I want to hold things up I just don't know she says they they're great about communicating about everything except this That's that must be very frustrating because he's jealous But but but admit that he's jealous maybe maybe there's someone out there who could could write us a dude who listens Who could explain That thing because that is not uncommon the dude who like have a hot wife and get all crazy and insecure What is that about but why won't you accept that he's jealous? Who you I What do you that of course I am that's what the question was? I see that's it. I don't know what is what is she do that right that we know he's jealous. It's built in I'm saying I don't know what you do If it's not as simple as oh, he just feels bad because he's unattractive if it's just as simple as no Guys, we're not gonna act as if we don't go to club. We haven't been in a club There's an attractive woman her man's not unattractive. He's an attractive guy too And he's still yoke and her up by the arm and act like a crazy person because he's just his real life No, because he's jealous. How do you fix that though? Well, with that honestly goes to like Digging in and get therapy and really figuring out what you're jealous about because what that leads to in my opinion Is it leads to you don't trust her To be jealous of her just because she looks good and other people think she looks good For you to jump all the way over to yoking her up and acting like she's gonna trip and stumble on somebody's dirt Just because she's pretty right You're a psychopath and you don't trust her right you think that because she's a woman All she knows is oh people like me, so I want to put that You just got somewhere it can also feed into a certain level of like built-in sort of Misogyny and sexist could be good of like not people didn't really want you before but now that they do I know what women are like and I can't trust you because you're gonna shove a okay, we get the point All right, so hopefully this hopefully he's open in the ear Well, I don't know he can't resist it. Hopefully he's open to therapy Maybe you start couples and then switch over to like Jim. Yeah, no, I think I think that's a good idea Yeah, you'd say get in there together Yeah, and maybe with someone else in the room. Yeah, they'll like hey, we should talk about this separately This isn't a you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, and then hopefully eventually it it'll be both young the gym There you go. Hopefully I will have a close on you know, we do we do I don't have it. Yeah, you do Now I don't have a close on the guru. Oh, no, our closes usually just playing the outro. Oh, okay We've been doing all right. We don't live in the sweeper era anymore. You know what I mean? I like I'm missing sweeper era I mean it's cool.
