    Twenty-five years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Laura and Rosenberg spend most of the episode remembering the day and trying to explain its impact to people who did not experience it firsthand. Laura recalls heading to BMCC from Inwood as the city began shutting down, while Rosenberg reflects on how difficult it still is to look away from footage and stories from that morning. The conversation expands to the first responders who knowingly entered extraordinary danger, the families who waited for news of loved ones and the long-term health consequences for people who worked around Ground Zero. The crew also shares memories from New Jersey and Brooklyn, including classmates with parents working in the city and seeing smoke and debris from miles away.  Laura also previews an ELR News report about undocumented victims whose stories have received less recognition, while the discussion turns to Flight 93, airport security and the many ways Sept. 11 permanently changed everyday American life. The episode ends on a lighter note as the crew revisits Rosenberg’s legendary Thanksgiving parody “Turkey With the Gravy” and debates whether the tradition should return this year.  Chapters:(00:00:00) 25 years since Sept. 11(00:01:05) Why younger generations may experience 9/11 differently(00:02:40) Laura remembers trying to get to BMCC that morning(00:04:30) How different the world felt before the second plane hit(00:06:00) War, foreign policy and the aftermath of the attacks(00:07:35) Why Laura recommends visiting the 9/11 Memorial Museum(00:09:45) Remembering the racism and backlash that followed(00:10:40) First responders and the people who ran toward danger(00:13:55) The undocumented victims whose stories were overlooked(00:15:20) The crew remembers where they were on Sept. 11(00:19:45) Newly resurfaced footage brings the scale of the destruction back(00:22:30) Flight 93 and the passengers who fought back(00:24:10) How 9/11 permanently changed airport security(00:26:50) Remembering the families who lost someone that day(00:27:55) Should “Turkey With the Gravy” return for Thanksgiving? ----------------------------- Experience the Culture: Catch Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and the rest of the network 24/7 on the Amplified Voices TV app: amplifiedvoices.com/podcast-ebro/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    John Fetterman Appears at GOP Convention + N.O.R.E. Faces Sexual Assault Allegations | Essential ELR 9.10.26

    With Ebro away in San Francisco, Laura and Rosenberg dig into the Republican midterm convention in Dallas after Democratic Sen. John Fetterman appeared in a video introducing Republican Sen. Dave McCormick. They question Fetterman’s “common sense Democrat” positioning, his rejection of socialism and whether he could become an especially important swing vote if control of the Senate is closely divided. The Rundown turns to a lawsuit filed by Carmen Bryan accusing N.O.R.E. of sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan nightclub in 1999. The crew stresses that these are allegations while discussing the unusual difficulty of evaluating a claim nearly three decades later. They also sort through conflicting reports about the future of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and whether a major late-night host could ultimately succeed outside traditional television.  Later, Rosenberg gets unexpectedly excited about Apple’s new foldable iPhone despite its eye-popping price, while Laura previews Jhené Aiko’s first album in six years and a new Kendrick Lamar collaboration. Guru Time closes with a retired listener considering a second career in video and audio production, prompting advice about learning practical skills, building a portfolio and finding opportunities in an economy where nearly every business needs content.  Chapters:(00:00:00) Rosenberg races back to the studio(00:01:55) Flight delays, rebooking nightmares and traveling with kids(00:04:50) John Fetterman appears at the Republican convention(00:06:15) Fetterman calls himself a “common sense Democrat”(00:07:40) Could Fetterman become a crucial Senate swing vote?(00:08:30) Hasan Piker becomes part of the GOP convention spectacle(00:10:25) Did Grindr really crash during the convention?(00:11:35) Tim Scott’s convention speech gets the WWE treatment(00:14:40) N.O.R.E. faces sexual assault allegations(00:17:15) Jimmy Kimmel cancellation rumors and the future of late night(00:20:10) Apple’s new foldable iPhone gets Rosenberg’s attention(00:23:00) Jhené Aiko announces her first album in six years(00:24:15) Guru Time: starting a second career in video and audio production(00:26:15) Is there still money in content production?(00:28:35) Skills and a portfolio versus going back to school ----------------------------- Experience the Culture: Catch Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and the rest of the network 24/7 on the Amplified Voices TV app: amplifiedvoices.com/podcast-ebro/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    BET.com Scrubs Its Archives + Macklemore’s “Free Palestine” Stand | Essential ELR 9.9.26

    Rob Markman joins the crew for a conversation about BET.com removing years of interviews, articles and other editorial work. As former MTV News contributors, Rob and Rosenberg reflect on how much hip-hop history has already disappeared from BET, MTV and other digital outlets — including interviews with artists who are no longer alive — and why creators need to preserve their own work. The conversation then turns to Macklemore after he used an Ed Sheeran stadium date to call for a free Palestine and criticize Israel’s government and ICE. The crew debates the distinction between criticism of Israel and antisemitism before celebrating Lil Yachty’s increasingly serious work with WWE.  Guru Time closes with an update from a listener who sought treatment for sex addiction and is now struggling with how much of his past to disclose to his wife. Rosenberg urges him to work with a certified sex addiction therapist and pursue full disclosure in a therapeutic setting rather than revealing pieces of the truth over time.  Chapters:(00:00:00) BET.com removes years of digital history(00:01:10) MTV News, HipHopDX and the disappearing internet archive(00:02:15) Rob Markman remembers fighting to get Kendrick Lamar on YouTube(00:03:40) Lost Mac Miller, Nipsey Hussle and MTV content(00:05:45) How Viacom moved away from music culture(00:07:20) Rob’s chaotic Odd Future and Joey Bada$$ interview(00:09:55) Macklemore says “Free Palestine” at MetLife Stadium(00:12:35) Macklemore’s politics and how his public identity changed(00:14:30) Criticizing Israel versus antisemitism(00:16:15) Kehlani, political speech and attempts to shut artists down(00:19:40) Lil Yachty’s surprising WWE run(00:21:00) Yachty goes through a table and impresses the crew(00:23:40) Bad Bunny, Travis Scott and hip-hop’s WWE connections(00:25:45) Guru Time: a listener returns after seeking sex-addiction treatment(00:27:40) Should he tell his wife the entire truth? ----------------------------- Experience the Culture: Catch Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and the rest of the network 24/7 on the Amplified Voices TV app: amplifiedvoices.com/podcast-ebro/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The crew then recaps Jay-Z’s London shows, including his birthday tribute to Beyoncé and appearances from the Fugees and other guests.

Then the crew reacts to the eerie first look at You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder’s new documentary featuring Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.  Finally, Ebony McMorris joins from the White House to break down Canada’s new retaliatory tariffs, the potential economic impact and the political stakes heading toward the midterms.

    Family Friday: Planning ELR’s First Live Event + Bluey, Paw Patrol + Parenting | Essential ELR 9.4.26

    Family Friday begins with the crew thinking seriously about bringing the ELR community together in person. They debate everything from an intimate dinner and live podcast to a straightforward party, while considering ticket prices, sponsors, food, drinks and giving Patreon supporters early access. The Patrionis are invited to weigh in on what kind of event they would actually want. Listener emails lead to a funny detour through Googling themselves and checking their Wikipedia pages before the crew explains why an old Ebro in the Morning podcast feed suddenly featured an episode of Mornings with Mero. They clarify that the legacy feed remains controlled by Hot 97’s owners rather than the ELR team. Then the family updates take over. Laura shares Kenza’s struggle with swimming lessons, Rosenberg realizes it may be time to get Maya into the water more formally and Ebro shows off Isa’s latest flag football training.

    Tizzy ENT on TikTok Bans + Nas & Hit-Boy’s Reported Rift | Essential ELR 9.3.26

    Tizzy ENT joins the show to explain how his social-media work identifies people captured committing assaults, hate crimes and other harmful acts, and why he believes TikTok has changed dramatically in recent months. He says he has been banned four times in six months after being banned only twice since joining in 2018, and describes returning from his latest suspension to unusually low reach despite having 8.1 million followers. Tizzy also discusses the violation that preceded his latest ban, concerns about corporate control of online speech and the reality that creators ultimately do not own the platforms where they build their audiences. He then introduces his Discovery series How to Catch a Dirtbag, which follows cases where his online community helped identify people captured on video and assist victims seeking accountability.  After the interview, Rosenberg addresses criticism of how he handled the crew’s recent Stephen A. Smith and NABJ discussion before the conversation shifts to Hit-Boy saying he and Nas have not spoken in years and that their disagreement runs deeper than music. That eventually leads Rosenberg into a larger discussion about DJ Vlad, media criticism and whether disliking someone’s work has to become personal animosity.  Chapters:(00:00:00) Tizzy ENT joins the show(00:01:45) Why Tizzy’s TikTok account keeps getting banned(00:03:05) 8.1 million followers but fewer than 5,000 views(00:03:45) The post that preceded Tizzy’s latest suspension(00:06:35) Do creators really own their social-media platforms?(00:07:45) TikTok, corporate control and the new public square(00:09:55) Tizzy introduces How to Catch a Dirtbag(00:13:10) Rosenberg responds to criticism over the Stephen A.

    Central Park Affair Caught on Camera + When Filming Strangers Goes Too Far | Essential ELR 9.2.26

    The crew starts with a follow-up on deregulation and imported beef before a viral Central Park encounter sparks a much bigger conversation about privacy. After a streamer films a lawyer making out with a junior colleague, Ebro, Laura and Rosenberg debate workplace power dynamics, infidelity and whether chasing strangers with cameras for content should be normalized just because the algorithm rewards it. That leads into stories about being approached, filmed and grabbed by strangers in public, along with a broader discussion of personal space and social boundaries. Later, Worst Neighbor Ever prompts the crew to revisit why some mental-health emergencies require specialists rather than traditional police responses. Guru Time closes the episode with a listener who says his partner of 15 years is messaging other men, deleting conversations and disappearing for entire weekends. The crew’s verdict is unanimous: the relationship has reached the point where he needs to leave. Chapters: (00:00:00) Deregulation, rejected beef and food safety (00:03:20) A lawyer’s Central Park make-out session goes viral (00:05:15) Workplace relationships, power imbalances and HR (00:06:40) Married, in Central Park and caught on camera (00:08:00) Is filming strangers for content weirdo behavior?

    Did Drake-Kendrick Hurt Hip-Hop? + The Greatest Beats Ever | Essential ELR 9.1.26

    The crew opens with Complex’s reader ranking of the greatest hip-hop beats ever, led by Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones, Pt. II.” That launches a deep dive into “Still D.R.E.,” “C.R.E.A.M.,” “N.Y. State of Mind,” “They Reminisce Over You,” “Grindin’” and the art of sampling, with Ebro and Rosenberg debating whether production ingenuity should matter as much as a beat’s cultural impact. After celebrating Lin-Manuel Miranda, the conversation turns to the Drake-Kendrick battle nearly two years later. Rosenberg argues that the fallout ultimately became bad for hip-hop, while Ebro and Laura separate the music itself from internet stan culture. They discuss what the battle did for Kendrick, Drake and listener attention to lyrics — and why being loyal to one artist shouldn’t prevent anyone from appreciating the other. The episode closes with a listener challenging Rosenberg’s previous comments about pit bulls. Rosenberg explains that his concern has always centered on responsible ownership and reveals that Bear was once attacked by a pit bull mix, an experience that reinforced his belief that powerful dogs require owners prepared to manage their capabilities. Chapters: (00:00:00) Is “Shook Ones, Pt. II” the greatest hip-hop beat ever? (00:02:10) Rosenberg reveals his favorite beat (00:02:55) Is “Still D.R.E.” the most perfectly produced rap song? (00:04:00) “C.R.E.A.M.,” “N.Y. State of Mind” and other all-time contenders (00:05:30) Does a simple loop deserve a spot among the greatest beats? (00:07:25) Dr. Dre’s sampling genius and the making of “Deep Cover” (00:11:20) One drum break sampled nearly 600 times (00:13:00) Lin-Manuel Miranda keeps winning (00:17:00) Was the Drake-Kendrick battle ultimately good for hip-hop? (00:18:25) What the battle did for Drake and Kendrick (00:20:00) Stan culture, Akademiks and why the internet changed the conversation (00:22:20) J. Cole fans, Drake fans and Kendrick fans (00:23:40) Are some artist fanbases actually hip-hop fans? (00:26:30) Guru time takes an unexpected turn (00:28:45) Rosenberg responds to criticism of his pit bull comments and reveals Bear’s attack ----------------------------- Experience the Culture: Catch Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and the rest of the network 24/7 on the Amplified Voices TV app: amplifiedvoices.com/podcast-ebro/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
