No one for hip hop number

0:04

0:06

Rosalind Burke. good morning, everybody.

0:08

It's Friday! It's

0:11

Friday, baby. We

0:13

made it. Yeah. I love it. I

0:15

love it. Cause Kenza knows that Friday

0:17

means the weekend. So every Friday she

0:19

wakes up all happy. Like it's Friday.

0:22

I'm like, yes girl. It's Friday. Honestly,

0:25

it makes me happy and sad simultaneously.

0:28

What do you mean? Cause she's old, man.

0:30

Cause when you're little, weekends

0:32

and weekdays don't matter. Every day

0:34

is the weekend. Yo, now she asks

0:36

me every day, like, is it Friday yet? I

0:38

was like, no, it's just Tuesday. She's

0:40

like, and Wednesday and Thursday. Yes. And

0:42

then Friday. Okay. So every day she's

0:44

like, when is it Friday? like, bro,

0:47

0:50

0:59

to get to a point where weekdays don't really

1:01

matter. I'm not saying like I don't

1:03

do work on those days, but like I

1:05

can't do every, because it's not about having work

1:07

on those days at all. I feel like

1:09

it's about having the, you have a set

1:11

schedule and it starts Monday morning and you do

1:13

it until Friday afternoon. I

1:16

can't do it my whole life. I can't. I've been doing

1:18

it since I was Ken's age. True. Most

1:20

of us are. I can't

1:22

do that till 70. The sisters are not gaming me

1:24

that way. No. And you're saying so you want to

1:26

remix it to what? Where like

1:28

to where like I still work and stuff

1:31

like that, but it's like I don't

1:33

have a it's not like oh my god.

1:35

It's I have the Sunday scaries So

1:37

let me let me remind you of something you

1:39

are a parent now So you will have to

1:41

wake up no matter what somebody got to

1:43

wake up because Monday is time for school And

1:45

you will remember that Monday is school time.

1:47

It's like you're reliving your childhood all over again

1:51

where you have to be like yes

1:54

it's Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday

1:56

bro and then they start like oh

1:58

2:00

2:06

I gotta go to the store after all the

2:08

things I'm doing like hey well listen man

2:10

I gotta tell you it sounds like I'm gonna

2:12

tell you right now it sounds like my

2:14

nanny's gonna have a really busy week I'll

2:19

be dad. How about this? Can I just

2:21

be waiting after school? Like, yeah, it's after school.

2:23

I don't know if I can do the

2:25

before school. For

2:27

the rest of my life, I'm old already.

2:29

I'm an old dad. I have to do

2:31

it to my 60s. Yes, bro. I don't

2:33

know. To school, dude. She's in junior high

2:35

school. She might have to

2:37

do it with the nanny. I'm to catch you on

2:39

the flip side. I mean, I don't have an Annie

2:41

yet, but this is all theoretical, but at some point,

2:43

I don't know. He's just dreaming. He's dreaming. Let's see.

2:46

Right? I can't do this till I'm 70. I'm telling

2:48

you right now. I'm not. I'm not. But by the

2:50

way, I'm not, um, first of all, no, you don't

2:52

have to, by the way, Sean, you don't have to.

2:54

Okay. There are rich people out there. They have the

2:56

nanny take care of the kids in the morning. And

2:59

then they, the kid comes in the room, gives them a little

3:01

kiss. Look at Laura. Laura's got an

3:03

Annie in the mornings. No, my man

3:05

does everything in the morning. What I just said.

3:08

What? I said, Laura, there any in the world?

3:10

She does the radio making sure she's combing

3:12

her hair right. I'm like, I'll get you good.

3:14

OK. where she's overseeing it, she's overseeing it,

3:17

but she's still doing her radio show. No,

3:19

but honestly, even that's not the same

3:21

as working. I mean, I mean, like where

3:23

like every Monday through Friday is a

3:25

work day, like you're out working, getting up

3:27

with your kids is one thing. Laura,

3:30

if all you had to do was get

3:32

your kids off to school and then

3:34

you're like, okay, go into Pilates, then lunch

3:36

with the girls. I mean, that's different

3:38

than working. Yeah, it sounds pretty

3:40

good. Yeah, it sounds great, but too

3:42

bad it's not my reality. to work for a

3:44

goal Laura. Don't give up now. Shout

3:47

out to all the parents out there that

3:49

are just trying to hold on man. Shout out

7:52

guys, NBCUniversal just announced

7:54

a multi -year partnership

7:56

with Snoop Dogg and

7:59

Death Row Pictures. And

8:01

it includes a Snoop Dogg

8:03

biopic. Okay. Yes.

8:07

Okay. And look, it's written by,

8:09

let me see, Joe Robert Cole,

8:11

who co -wrote Black Panther. Okay,

8:13

and basically they're saying look there's

8:15

only one Snoop, which I agree

8:17

that's right We're excited for him

8:19

to join our unbelievable roster of

8:21

creative partners. That was a quote

8:23

from NBC Universal and You know

8:25

and Snoop pretty much was saying

8:27

look now everybody has the courage

8:29

and vision to see what death

8:31

row pictures can bring to the

8:33

table So he's excited to work.

8:36

So this is gonna basically launch

8:38

another leg of Snoop's Career he

8:40

has many which is always been

8:42

really interesting to see right how

8:44

he kind of like Reinvent himself

8:46

every couple years. Yeah, it's amazing

8:48

to me Yeah, so the deal

8:50

also includes Snoop Dogg's return to

8:52

the voice this fall It's

8:55

you know a lot of people were

8:57

saying like do you think that people

8:59

will so gravitate to him because you

9:01

know ever since Snoop went for like

9:04

he was performing at the crypto ball

9:06

and he got a lot of backlash

9:08

For basically standing with the Republicans when

9:10

they were like, you know, everybody was

9:12

doing their whole fundraiser for Trump blah

9:14

blah blah But nevertheless, it doesn't matter

9:16

how you feel about Snoop like he

9:18

is a hip -hop legend and his

9:20

story will be something that people will

9:22

tune in for Yeah, I mean, recently

9:25

I think I was traveling on a

9:27

plane. I think I mentioned it before

9:29

and watched straight out of Compton and

9:31

I was highly engaged. I saw it

9:33

before, but I was just highly engaged

9:35

again. And the Snoop scene when he

9:37

popped on, just seeing young

9:39

Snoop walking to the studio with

9:41

Dre, it's just like... I remember

9:43

even being in the audience, the

9:45

whole crowd was like, oh,

9:47

Snoop, and just seeing him like, yo, what

9:50

up, y 'all? You know, he had a

9:52

big eye for him. So I would love

9:54

to see, like, you know, who plays him.

9:56

And some of his life prior to when

9:58

he was a, you know, heavy crib, like,

10:00

what was that really about? Because he still

10:02

wears blue. I'm telling

10:04

you, he's loyal to that blue.

10:06

So let's see what that transition was

10:08

from gangsta, like, you know, glamour. Yeah,

10:11

and especially like his whole family

10:13

dynamic is pretty cool. He's

10:15

a longtime marriage to his you know

10:18

wife, you know that they've been together since

10:20

High school, you know, we've I've seen

10:22

the pictures of them going to prom together

10:24

So just it's also interesting to see

10:26

how like, you know a lot of his

10:28

family kind of just branched out and

10:30

he's always posting his kids and grandkids and

10:32

so To put it all together and

10:35

in on the big screen. I think it's

10:37

gonna be really dope for us to

10:39

watch. Yeah. Yeah Kudos to his wife, too.

10:41

Right? Yes. For staying through this

10:43

whole thing, you know, mister, I

10:46

don't lie to my house. You know?

10:48

Yeah, it's quite the era. Yeah,

10:50

and she rocked out, and it's

10:52

beautiful to see that they have

10:54

an amazing family, so. That's

10:56

what I'm saying, so it's going to be interesting to

10:58

watch, but that's your Flash and Lights report. You're

15:21

mess with the bull, ya gay? The

15:24

Horns. Friday,

15:26

congrats like you dream about. We

15:29

have to start off with this

15:31

video that's been trending it's moving around

15:33

and it's I hate to be

15:35

the bad guy and laugh at it,

15:37

but it's just like OMG now

15:39

during WrestleMania I guess people were it

15:41

was in Las Vegas people were

15:43

trying to go you know usually in

15:45

front of wherever the venue is

15:47

There's large crowds. You're always trying to

15:49

figure out a way out So

15:51

it looks like some people when particularly

15:53

in Vegas What makes this a

15:55

little unusual is most people walked because

15:58

you can walk from the strip.

16:00

So most people were just walking back

16:03

across this one bridge to get

16:05

from Allegiant Stadium back to like Mandalay

16:07

Bay, like that area, whatever. Right,

16:09

right. So you see tons and

16:11

tons of people just kind of

16:13

gathered around and there's an escalator

16:15

that's going down. People

16:17

are trying to go up.

16:19

Some brave souls decides, you know

16:22

what? I got what it takes

16:24

to run against the escalator. Let's

16:26

go. So if you go up

16:28

and they make it. But there's

16:30

this one gentleman, bro. He,

16:32

yo, a hot

16:35

mess. He makes it

16:37

like halfway, drops all his belongings

16:39

and picking it up. People

16:41

are basically walking over him, right,

16:43

Johnny? Yeah, yo, it's crazy.

16:45

He gets winded halfway through. Trips

16:48

up, drops his stuff.

16:51

He's tossing it, he's fighting for his life.

16:53

No, he's fighting for his life. Yo, hit

16:56

the button. Congratulations,

16:59

you played yourself. He can't breathe. I

17:01

think he's holding his heart at one point. I

17:03

was like, oh my God. Yo, he

17:05

gambled so hard there. By the

17:07

way, for the record, no matter

17:09

what shape I'm in, I will say, I

17:11

get nervous about the going up the escalator to

17:13

the wrong. Yes. It's not an ideal thing

17:15

to do no matter what. No. It's not as

17:18

easy as people think. No. to be skilled.

17:20

It feels awkward and you can do it, but

17:22

it does feel a little bit awkward. This

17:24

man's a bit on the big side. You can

17:26

tell he's not tried anything in a while.

17:28

When he throws his stuff like I'm giving up,

17:30

let me just chuck my stuff up there

17:32

and see if that can make it. and

17:34

the slip of fall yo and then

17:37

he just slowly starts going down and

17:39

also we as wrestling fans we don't

17:41

need that hit the button again congratulations

17:43

people already people already think we're a

17:45

bunch of fat slobs we don't need

17:47

a video of people falling down the

17:50

escalator right no it's not the look

17:52

you want it's not the look you

17:54

want um all right so speaking of

17:56

not the look you want i have

17:58

not heard this yet But I saw

18:00

it moving around on social media yesterday.

18:02

It said it was a video of

18:05

Wiz Khalifa on Joe Budden and it

18:07

said this might literally be the dumbest

18:09

thing I've ever heard in my life.

18:12

Podcasts were a mistake. That's

18:14

the tweet that has moved around. Here's

18:16

what was said apparently. I would

18:18

say no. What

18:20

shape is it? I just believe that

18:22

we live on a flat plane. Yeah,

18:25

like a huge flat plane. It's

18:28

only because I've traveled. Yo, bad sign for your

18:30

podcast, Joe, that you got someone who daps someone up

18:32

when they say that, by the way. I just

18:34

want to say, that's already bad. But let's keep going.

18:36

So much. And I see like

18:39

Should we get to the edge the earth?

18:41

No. Okay. It's not that. There's more,

18:43

I think that there's more masses than just

18:45

what we see. Just the earth. Because

18:47

we lived, it was one thing before and

18:49

it's like spread out. So it's layered

18:51

like a pastry. I wouldn't

18:53

say layer like a patient. I

18:56

would just say like if this

18:58

rug was was the world we

19:00

would probably be like over there

19:02

Somewhere and then there's just ways

19:04

other than we have discovered Got

19:06

it. Yeah Yeah, that's what I

19:08

think because when I travel The

19:11

routes that we take and how

19:13

we do it. It's not possible

19:15

to go up and down. You're

19:17

just going straight Yo, by

19:20

the way the look on the

19:22

face of Joe Budden, Mark Lamont

19:24

Hill, and Melissa Ford while Wiz

19:26

is saying this is so crazy.

19:28

Mark Lamont Hill is looking like,

19:30

oh my God, it's for Melissa.

19:33

Yeah, Mark is like a professor, like

19:35

he's literally staying. But here's my

19:37

question, hit the button, sorry, hit the

19:39

button. It took too long. Congratulations, you

19:42

played yourself. Why do

19:44

people keep stepping into this

19:46

conversation? I

19:48

don't understand why people like do

19:50

they like to troll people because

19:52

like you you can't be dumb

19:55

enough to believe that because it

19:57

doesn't feel like you're going up

19:59

or down when you're flying that

20:01

that means the world's flat like

20:03

you can't be that I

20:06

don't know. I've asked this flatter

20:08

question for a long time. Shani,

20:10

you're a conspiracy theorist yourself. Yes.

20:12

But you don't understand also why

20:14

people get into this. Like it's

20:16

very weird. Because to me it's

20:18

like what's the difference. And

20:20

also exactly, that's the point too. Number

20:22

one, you have no proof to offer

20:25

anything except what we know. And when

20:27

you try to offer it, it sounds

20:29

really dumb. And for

20:31

our purposes of living, Why

20:33

would that affect you either? Why is

20:35

it a hill to die on? Yeah, or

20:37

a flat to die on? Because

20:41

the thing is in I asked

20:43

one person who was like very

20:45

adamant and I was like, well,

20:47

what is the difference and he

20:49

said because if we Truly unravel

20:51

them and discover the fact that

20:53

it is flat We know that

20:55

they've been lying to us and

20:57

I was like You need the

20:59

earth to be flat to know

21:01

that It's

21:11

like we could point to a million things

21:13

to find out we've been lied to about

21:15

a lot and that's really the bottom line

21:17

I think of you know what they've been

21:19

lying to us the whole time it's not

21:21

brown it's flat it's to prove that they've

21:23

been lying to it like we know a

21:25

terrible reason They

21:28

lie to us all the time. It's not

21:30

going to change our life if we find

21:32

out either way. But we

21:34

obviously know it's not. But

21:36

to produce her group's point, because I was going to

21:38

just jump in and say the same thing. Whereas

21:40

it's like in my travels, right? Because he's traveled

21:42

a lot. Yeah, you can go up and down.

21:44

Of course you can. The flight from San Francisco

21:46

to Japan is over the art. Yeah,

21:49

but he's saying he doesn't feel himself

21:51

going down. It always feels like it's

21:54

not gonna go straight up You know

21:56

what I mean? Like I don't think

21:58

people really think about it. He but

22:00

again That's what makes this a truly

22:02

moronic statement. Oh, there's no it's it

22:04

Look man, we've been lied to about

22:06

a lot of things, right? So they

22:08

think if this is the one but

22:11

so hold on real quick. I know

22:13

for a fact That the world is

22:15

round Do you do you think

22:17

that means you haven't been lied to because

22:19

both? Let me tell you both are true the

22:21

world is round and you've been lied to

22:23

right? Trying to figure out at

22:25

the moon landing Happened if you doubt

22:27

us, but there's so many things they

22:30

just I just noticed that the things

22:32

people focus on you don't tell us

22:34

You're not gonna know all the truth

22:36

man So just either way, hit whiz

22:38

with the button. Congratulations, you

22:40

played yourself. Time

Vanessa Morning, it's ebro and Laura

24:32

and Rosenberg. Thanks for coming on

24:34

the radio today to talk about

24:36

your date with Anthony and why

24:38

you're not hitting them back Yeah,

24:40

no problem. Let me just tell

24:43

you Anthony thinks the date was

24:45

great. We talked to him. Um,

24:47

what did you think? The

24:49

date was going really good, but

24:51

soon as we got outside the couple

24:53

of dudes hanging out and they,

24:56

like, cat called me. He didn't do

24:58

nothing about it. Cat called

25:00

you, like, bitch, like that?

25:02

Or, like... No, like, whistling at me,

25:04

like, trying to talk to me,

25:06

didn't do nothing, kept walking. Like,

25:08

I don't want to have no little bitch

25:11

that's not gonna stand up for me. Bitch!

25:13

Okay, so were they being completely disrespectful? Like...

25:15

I feel like they were kind of enticing

25:17

him. They wanted him to do something, and he

25:19

didn't do nothing. He just pretended like he

25:21

didn't do anything. yeah but did you

25:23

want to stop and get into a fight

25:25

with all these guys why would you be

25:27

mad i mean what's he supposed to do

25:29

sort of fist fight on the date i

25:31

mean you gotta i mean but he could

25:33

acknowledge that he could have been like excuse

25:35

me like hello and then and then if

25:37

your if your date had turned into a

25:39

fist fight and him getting beaten down would

25:41

you have been into that Know

25:44

I wouldn't be into that but I

25:46

would prefer that over just like running

25:48

away. There's a gray area for dudes

25:50

I've been in that scenario personally Would

25:53

you have appreciated a pull closer? Yes,

25:55

you know hold my I see

25:57

that but now does that warrant

25:59

you not texting him back at

26:02

all and not communicating this I

26:04

feel like yeah, like that's something

26:06

he should know. Why should I

26:08

have to explain this? All right.

26:10

Well, we have Anthony on the

26:12

phone, Vanessa. Anthony. Yo.

26:16

Do you want to say anything to Vanessa? First

26:18

off, it wasn't even all that, Vanessa. They

26:21

didn't go there, what you saying? Guys,

26:23

I gotta do something first. Vanessa is

26:25

a... Yo, yo. I gotta know, Vanessa

26:27

is a beautiful woman. She was dressed

26:29

like unbelievably fine that night. Yeah, she

26:31

did that for you, brother. She gave

26:33

you that. Those guys didn't go through

26:35

all that. And the one guy that

26:38

did kind of like, he said something

26:40

to me. He didn't say nothing to

26:42

her. He was like, yo, bro, I

26:44

just looked at him and then he backed

26:46

up. But now let me help you out.

26:49

Let me help you out. All

26:51

right. In this scenario, I've

26:54

learned in my age that if

26:56

Vanessa is saying that's how

26:58

she felt, you should acknowledge that

27:00

being her feeling and being

27:02

like, yo, my bad. I'm sorry,

27:04

you felt that way. That wasn't my interpretation.

27:06

But since you felt that way, I'll do

27:08

a better job next time. And if she

27:10

is that hot, let's get back to the

27:13

second date. My G, come on. Vanessa,

27:15

I'm sorry, but you're right. I should

27:17

have stepped to these guys. I should

27:19

have said something to them. You're right.

27:21

I'm sorry. I don't even

27:23

know if I want to believe you. Vanessa,

27:31

would you go on another day and give

27:33

Anthony another chance? I'm caping for Anthony, right? All

27:36

right. All right. There you go. All right.

27:39

Anthony, speak up for yourself, goddammit. Come on,

27:42

Anthony. This is that moment again. Say

27:44

something. Where you going that moment? Yo,

27:46

sweetness. Oh, I'm making sure

27:49

of it. Don't worry. He won't make such

27:51

a mistake. So

27:58

28:01

28:03

28:05

36:59

Yes, I'll start with an email. Here we go.

37:01

Good morning, crew. Love and light.

37:03

I can go on and on with

37:05

individual shout -outs, but let's face it.

37:07

You're a big family, and you have

37:09

shared so much, I can relate to

37:11

most, if not all. I listen

37:14

with my eight -year -old son. And

37:16

on the drop -off to school

37:18

and I have to say

37:20

this program is educating the youth

37:22

and keeping us sane Most

37:24

of this education comes during congratulations.

37:26

You played yourself segment and

37:29

he's learning about voting politics important

37:31

issues Wow, and some things

37:33

simply not to do matter of

37:35

fact On the day that

37:37

he had a social studies test

37:39

on branches of government y 'all

37:41

spoke on the subject Judicial

37:43

executive the branches I could go

37:45

on and on I wish

37:47

I would have recorded us yelling

37:49

in the car as we

37:51

reviewed you guys talk about these

37:53

subjects and and listen it's

37:55

really educational now the classics with

37:58

DJ cast one again educational

38:00

this kid is listening to Kendrick

38:02

right now but when you

38:04

know we jump in the car

38:06

you guys play such a

38:08

broad You know, these

38:10

classics I've brought in his musical palette,

38:12

I can tell him stories of when,

38:14

where I was during a song, when

38:16

it came out, what it means, and

38:19

he genuinely likes it all. See that

38:21

shot? All right. I'm trying to...

38:23

And then listen, White -ish Wednesday. Okay, he's

38:25

in school by then, but my sister

38:27

and I play along every week. It's our

38:29

favorite part of the week. Full transparency, she

38:32

doesn't listen to you. or any

38:34

morning radio, but I got her

38:36

hooked a year ago. So she

38:38

tunes in on Wednesdays. We love

38:40

you guys chatting it up, the commentary.

38:43

It's just hilarious. Sitting on a hay

38:45

ride, Shawnee, and she put a bunch

38:47

of laughing movies. So I

38:49

love every moment of the segment. So yes, she

38:51

just keeps going on and on. How much

38:53

she loves the show, she said, it's been a

38:55

rough year. really messy divorce that

38:57

affected not only me but my son and

38:59

my sister. I've written

39:01

to the gurus just letting you

39:03

guys know that you've helped us

39:06

get through it all. Thank you

39:08

truly a fan, Priscilla. I

39:10

love that. I love that. That

39:13

was beautiful. Thank you, Priscilla. I've learned

39:15

so much too. I mean, I definitely learned

39:17

what songs to play if I'm ever

39:19

on a hay ride. You

39:21

know what saying? I know

39:23

what to play. Right. Campfire, hayride,

39:27

crazy bar. Oh,

39:29

you have all of them. I have all. Although

39:31

I worry that if the situation actually came up, Shawnee,

39:33

you wouldn't remember the name standing. I

39:35

wouldn't. be like, play that one. That's

39:37

why. I'd be like, what? That's why.

39:40

That's not enough. It's not enough. All

39:43

right. Let's go to a voice note.

39:45

It's not enough. Let's, uh, Ebro, I mean,

39:47

Shawnee, I'm sorry. Do you see the

39:49

one about me and Ebro? Uh, Anthony. Yo,

39:52

this is... from

39:54

Stockton, Cali. Shout out

39:56

to the West Coast. I'm

39:58

charming and talkish about

40:00

Peter and Ebro mostly. Peter

40:03

first because I don't

40:05

like ESPN, Rosenberg. It's weird

40:07

to see. It's

40:09

like seeing your friend that

40:11

you talkish with all the time

40:13

with the homies and stuff

40:15

finally get a job and wear

40:17

a suit and tie and

40:20

it's like... not what this guy

40:22

is like. It is crazy.

40:24

It's funny. Seeing him on

40:26

professional and stuff, when I'm used to hearing

40:28

him or seeing him do like whitish

40:30

Wednesday or whatever, but you know,

40:32

it's cool. Shout outs to

40:34

you. I really, oh, man.

40:37

Ebro, man. Ebro

40:39

really makes me mad. It

40:41

sounds exhausted. Every single

40:43

time he talks about Drake,

40:46

it just, it makes me so mad.

40:49

I even though I liked it, I even

40:51

though I was like this, I didn't know

40:53

I cared about drink this much until the

40:55

beef, but your sarcasm and poker face is

40:57

crazy. It's next level. You

41:00

and Joe Budden are just

41:02

crazy with the poker face

41:04

and sarcasm every time you

41:06

all wanna halfway big them

41:09

up, yet still talking -ish.

41:11

It's crazy. It's like, we

41:13

get it, we know y 'all hate them.

41:15

We know y 'all don't wanna play the

41:17

songs. We know y 'all just want to

41:19

see the downfall. Y 'all love

41:21

to make the fans mad. We get it.

41:24

Y 'all just mad. I hate it. My

41:26

man's put me to sleep. Hang up on this,

41:29

guys. I hate it. Two more seconds. But it's

41:31

all good. I'm just a fan.

41:34

I gotta say a couple things

41:36

here. Thank you so much for

41:38

your very boring note. Boring

41:41

and disrespectful? Yeah, first of all, with

41:43

fans like you, who needs enemies? You know

41:45

I mean? My man basically was like, I've

41:48

been getting strangers coming up

41:50

to me. Shawnee,

41:52

I bet you've had people come up to

41:54

you. Yo, I saw your man on first

41:56

date. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, it happened

41:58

to me. I was like, yeah, that's my

42:00

boy. Yeah, I saw your man on first

42:02

date. This guy goes, yeah, I saw you

42:04

on first take and I don't like it. And

42:08

when he gets to the

42:10

reason he's like, you know, the

42:12

person you've always known, but now

42:14

they want to wear a suit on

42:17

TV. Oh, my God.

42:19

He likes. He likes his Rosenberg.

42:21

He likes his old Rosenberg with

42:23

like cargo pants and a backpack.

42:25

He wants nothing else. He

42:27

didn't say like now you look good

42:30

got yourself a nice suit look clean

42:32

on TV doing a good job man

42:34

standing up there with Steven a look

42:36

at you now He goes see you

42:38

on TV, and I don't like it

42:40

then he follows up Now I will

42:42

say this I do understand his ebro

42:44

point the way that ebro Simultaneously

42:48

disses Drake and then gas lights

42:50

all of us when we call

42:52

him out for by going what?

42:54

I love Drake I'm trying

42:56

to pick him up

42:58

right now. Yo, it's The

43:00

word gas lighting gets

43:02

overused a lot these days

43:05

The way Ibro handles that is the

43:07

textbook definition. He looks back at

43:09

you like you're crazy for even saying

43:11

you heard it. You're like, wait,

43:13

no, I swear you're dissing him right

43:15

now. I

43:21

would

43:25

never.

43:28

All right. Real quick. Here's

43:30

here's an email. This

43:32

one's about Freedom Friday,

43:34

Laura. okay okay yo uh

43:36

this guy writes uh

43:38

i'll keep it brief okay

43:41

um when shawnee said

43:43

this is around slumdog millionaire

43:45

times while referring to

43:47

gangnam style and rosenberg responded

43:49

with no same era

43:51

i thought that was bad

43:53

enough but when cast

43:55

jumped in the mood and

43:57

said it might be

43:59

in the movie it really

44:01

sent me I've never

44:03

missed Ebro's cynical trolling art form

44:05

as much as I did

44:07

then. Gangnam

44:10

Style came out in 2012.

44:13

Slumdog released in 2008.

44:16

Pretty sure, quote, it isn't in the

44:18

movie, haha. Give y 'all selves the button.

44:20

But I truly love y 'all for

44:22

real. You make my mornings incredibly dope.

44:24

Just had to call it out. Also,

44:27

speaking of Ebro, y 'all need to run

44:29

the same category back with most annoying

44:31

songs because the speed at which he

44:33

says his name might make it a

44:35

lot more competitive off GP. Peace

44:38

to the FFOTs. What

44:40

are the F -fots? Every

44:43

Friday? Maybe, yeah.

44:45

I don't know. Family and

44:47

friends. Family and friends of

44:49

the show? A day. Now,

44:51

I just want to say real

44:53

quick. First, he wants to hit us

44:55

with this. Yeah, rightfully. You played

44:57

yourself. So, first of all, when I

45:00

said maybe same era, that was

45:02

already me trying to help out Johnny,

45:04

because Johnny randomly, when we played

45:06

Gangnam Style, going, this is like

45:08

Slumdog Millionaire. And I literally was so

45:10

baffled that I was just trying to

45:12

beg maybe same era, which, by the

45:14

way, you proved I was kind of

45:16

right. 2012, like, yeah,

45:18

general same period. Roundabout, roundabout. Then

45:21

Cass jumping in with the, it

45:23

might be in the movie was the

45:25

crazy, you know, Gangnam style

45:27

is size Korean. Slumdog

45:30

is Indian. I know. Like

45:32

there's no, not even, yet

45:34

they're both in Asia, but there's

45:36

no connection whatsoever. This

45:38

guy's right. We're foul. Not

45:41

Murph. Well, Laura, why are you, hold on,

45:43

Laura, what are you letting me and you

45:45

in this for? That was all Cass one

45:47

and Sean. It's Shawnee!

45:50

Wait, can you guys

45:52

hear me? Yeah, we hear you now. I need

45:54

to jump in here, listen. Because

45:56

what happened was Shawnee said, hey, that

45:58

might be from the movie called Dog

46:00

Millionaire. And I was like, you're right,

46:02

it might be a new problem is

46:04

that me and Shawnee got confused. There's

46:06

another Korean song in that movie, I'm

46:08

not mistaken. Well, you might be mistaken.

46:11

You said if I'm not mistaken, which means hit him

46:13

with the button again right now, Shawnee. The

46:15

fact that Cass said if I'm not

46:17

mistaken means he might be mistaken. A

46:20

mess. But it definitely

46:22

wasn't this song. But there was

46:24

a song like it. OK, OK. All

46:26

right, Laura, you want to play another voice note? Yeah,

46:28

let's go. Let's do this. Shawnee, who we got? We

46:31

have Rich from California. I

46:33

see this. All right. Shout out

46:35

to the show. There's Rich

46:37

from California calling back in. Rosenberg

46:40

we love you, but you Ruin

46:42

this whole week by not playing Laura

46:44

46:46

boy pants on play the game that

46:48

we love Play the game and

46:50

Laura loves to beat you at and

46:52

all will be good Can't be

46:54

coming on the air complaining about a

46:56

game starting the whole show off

46:58

wrong. Can't you know why you can't

47:00

do it? Charlemagne would

47:02

have did it. Charlotte Oh Last

47:16

time I checked last time I checked charlomane sent

47:18

one is the lady on his show. He said to

47:20

her running off. She left the show. What are

47:23

you talking about? Yeah,

47:25

that was a bad Comparison oh, man,

47:27

we've gotten a couple today. They're people

47:29

like yo, I'm a fan But I

47:31

just want to be terrible right now.

47:35

47:41

47:43

47:45

love the show. I listen every morning

47:47

on my way from my overnight shift while

47:49

I drive my son to school. I

47:51

love you all. But I

47:53

specifically want to say we love

47:55

you, Shawnee. I'm tired

47:58

of everyone harassing you about

48:00

not voting. I understand

48:02

why you don't vote. By the

48:04

way, I vote reluctantly, but I

48:06

vote. And by the way, F -Trump,

48:08

L -O -L. In facts. There we

48:10

go. We are supposed to be

48:12

in a free country and it

48:14

is a right to vote, but

48:16

it's not a requirement. So do

48:18

you, King, longtime listener and self

48:20

-proclaimed boss, Erica. Nice.

48:22

Thank you, Erica. Listen. I

48:25

just try to exercise my freedom

48:27

of choice, you know I'm saying? It's

48:30

usually because the e -book is bashing

48:32

me, instigates for the listeners Call

48:34

up here and bash me too. I

48:37

know politics is extremely emotional, so

48:39

it's, you know, sometimes we need somebody

48:41

to beat up one. It's okay. I'll

48:44

take it. Oh, Sean, you put

48:46

your violin away. Oh,

48:48

that was really sad. Oh,

48:50

God. Look, I'll take

48:52

the abuse for what the

48:54

system has done to us

48:56

and divide us. Oh,

48:58

God, listen, man, Peter. this

49:01

is this is really i

49:03

walk away kicking rocks with my

49:05

black eye oh my god

49:09

wrong but um but now

This sounds familiar.

52:28

Should I include my mom

52:30

in my wedding? Oh

52:33

boy. Age old question. Laura just

52:36

went and had a trip with mom.

52:39

My mom is visiting this weekend

52:41

again. And now we

52:43

have a mom guru email. Okay

52:45

lots of mom energy. Hey

52:48

gurus I'm a loyal listener,

52:50

and I truly thank you

52:52

guys for getting me through

52:54

my mornings every day Let's

52:56

jump right in I'm the

52:58

eldest of nine children My

53:01

children my parents had me

53:03

at 15 and 16 years

53:05

old. Oh my god So

53:07

at least her the eldest

53:09

um So let me explain

53:12

the interesting upbringing I've endured.

53:15

By the way, whenever you say endured, it

53:17

doesn't sound great. My mom,

53:19

my mom being a single mom

53:22

with five children from my

53:24

dad at the ripe age of

53:26

24 years old, left me

53:28

to be the other parent for

53:30

my entire childhood and teenage

53:32

life. It was me helping raise

53:34

kids. That's a little backstory. Fast

53:37

forward to the present. I'm 31

53:39

years old. and I

53:42

have been raising my mom since

53:44

I was in my 20s.

53:46

She quickly got into younger guys

53:48

when I was 17 years

53:50

old and convinced herself that we,

53:52

our kids, were old enough

53:54

to take care of ourselves while

53:56

she ran a muck hanging

53:58

out and taking back all her

54:00

teenage years she sacrificed to

54:02

raise us. Oh wow. No

54:04

bueno. By the way, I

54:07

love when people Talk

54:09

about sacrifice. Who made

54:11

you have five kids by

54:13

24? Your kids

54:15

certainly didn't of all people

54:17

I did most of the raising

54:19

but she'll never admit that

54:21

in 2024 I moved with my

54:23

fiance from New York to

54:25

Florida and she tried to convince

54:27

me to leave him because

54:30

at the time His diabetes was

54:32

severely bad and her argument

54:34

was he can't take care of

54:36

you I voice how

54:38

incredibly crazy and selfish she

54:40

sounded, especially because she's known him

54:42

since he was 15 years

54:44

old. We've been together 15 years.

54:47

We're now planning our destination wedding in Puerto

54:49

Rico and I am questioning if she should

54:51

be a part of it due to her

54:53

lack of maturity. She acts

54:56

like she's 16 and it's embarrassing. She's

54:58

never acknowledged anything I've

55:00

ever accomplished. Calls

55:03

me stuck up and boring because

55:05

I refuse to quote hang on

55:08

the block and have fun. Oh

55:10

my god I've told her many

55:12

times hanging out does not pay

55:14

your bills being 46 years old

55:16

and worried about drama between people

55:18

in the block is high school

55:20

ish She's taken it as far

55:22

as to tell me I shouldn't

55:24

invite my father because he's a

55:26

disgrace, which isn't true She's always

55:29

despised the love and relationship I

55:31

have with him Anyways,

55:33

gurus, I really need help. I'm

55:35

so afraid she'll sabotage my day by

55:37

acting a fool and embarrassing me. And part

55:40

of me feels like she just wants

55:42

to be there to say she was there.

55:44

I honestly really feel like she

55:46

doesn't care about me because

55:49

I don't feed into what she's

55:51

about. But part of

55:53

me doesn't want to regret not having

55:55

my mom there later on in life. By

55:57

the way, my fiance and I are

55:59

paying for everything with no help from anyone.

56:03

Ah, but she has so many opinions. What

56:06

should I do? All advice,

56:08

welcome. Oh, man. Get

56:11

this is rough. That's a tough

56:13

one. And listen, I just say you have a

56:15

honest conversation with your mom. Just

56:17

tell her straight up. Be like, yo, mom,

56:19

I am getting married. I am spending a

56:21

lot of money on this. We've been working

56:23

really hard to put a beautiful celebration together.

56:26

Let's keep it real. Just be like, you

56:28

tend to be very opinionated. And I want to make sure I

56:30

want you there. But I want you to make sure you're going

56:32

to be on your best behavior. Like, I

56:34

don't want you wallowing out. I

56:36

don't want you. You got to make

56:38

sure that you're good. Have

56:40

that uncomfortable, honest conversation. Listen, she might

56:42

get pissed off and be like, effort,

56:44

I'm not going. Well, then that's her

56:46

choice. But I think that if

56:48

you set some boundaries early and you

56:50

tell her, and listen and be ready to

56:52

have somebody else there, if she's acting

56:54

up, if it gets

56:56

really, really bad, you're going to have

56:59

to have a cuss or somebody be like, you got to go. But

57:02

only if it gets to that point. I don't know.

57:04

I gotta be honest. I don't love this setup. No,

57:06

no. This doesn't sound great what you're

57:08

describing. It doesn't. But I agree with

57:10

Laura. And it doesn't sound nice, but

57:13

I do agree with Laura in terms

57:15

of the tough conversation. Have

57:17

the heart go, like mom, I don't know.

57:19

I don't trust that you're not going to mess

57:21

something up. And I

57:23

want dad there. Because he's

57:25

like don't even need to

57:27

be there. Let her know off the

57:29

top. No surprises. He is going to

57:32

be there. Yeah, because initially through everything

57:34

she said I was gonna say maybe

57:36

I mean maybe mom's got to sit

57:38

this one out until she said I

57:40

don't want to regret it because once

57:42

you say I don't want to regret

57:44

it Something in you already feels like

57:46

you might right and there's a possibility

57:48

that you might then you just got

57:50

to have the tough conversation yeah

57:53

I mean it's definitely a gamble but like

57:55

I said you have to be okay with

57:57

your decision so just make sure that you

57:59

guys are that you're comfortable at the end

58:01

of your conversation that you know what I

58:03

mean you told her exactly how you felt

58:05

and hopefully she agreed or say listen I'm

58:07

gonna be cool or whatever but I would

58:09

also have a backup plan just in case

58:12

she's wallowing out and she gotta go I

58:14

have somebody ready. What's your backup plan?

58:16

Security to drag her out? I mean, once

58:18

you have a cousin tonight. mean, how

58:20

many kids is it? You gotta go. She's

58:22

the oldest of how many? Nine,

58:24

right? Yes, look. All right, have number

58:26

eight. Have number eight be ready to

58:29

be like, Ma, you gotta go. Seven

58:31

and eight gotta jump in if anything

58:33

pops up. But only if

58:35

it gets crazy. You know what I mean? Like

58:38

if she for the most part is chilling,

58:40

like maybe lean also on your number eight and

58:42

number seven to just be like, oh, just

58:44

kind of help me out during my special day.

58:46

While I now have a little talk with her, tell her to

58:48

chill out. You know what I mean? It's

58:51

sad, but you kind of have to

58:53

babysit her a little bit. But

58:55

yeah, I think overall we all agree,

58:57

right? Just have that uncomfortable conversation, but

58:59

just be stern and just let her

59:01

know, hey, I love you, I want

59:04

you there, but I really don't want

59:06

any trouble on my special day. You

59:08

deserve that. Right. And look, like

59:10

Laura said, she might not like you

59:12

telling her and she might bow out and

59:14

then you free. Right best

59:16

case scenario, right? She's like,

59:18

you know, I don't like

59:20

these rules. I'm out. All

59:22

right. Well, that's right Yeah,

59:24

so hopefully yes, hopefully hopefully

59:26

this helps. Good luck man.

59:28

You sound like a wonderful

59:30

person. So say the gurus

59:32

In the morning with Laura

59:34
