The show starts with Ebro suffering through a severe bout of allergies and searching for local honey to cure his woes. The conversation shifts to parenting as Laura laments the struggle of trying to get Kenza to smile naturally for her kindergarten school pictures. In the "Gurus" segment, an anonymous email asks the team if they’ve ever had a real falling out on air. This leads to a hilarious trip down memory lane, uncovering the time Laura stormed out of the studio over a college basketball joke, and the infamous moment Rosenberg completely melted down over a free Tribe Called Quest hat. The tone shifts when another listener writes in to thank the crew for their honesty regarding fertility and IVF. Ebro and Laura use the opportunity to have a very raw discussion about the intense societal and cultural pressures placed on women to have children, the high costs of freezing eggs, and the importance of waiting for the right partner. The episode wraps up with a debate on why Laura refuses to engage in "internet beef" with creators like DJ Akademiks and Jason Lee, while Ebro admits he enjoys the chaos.  -----------------------------Experience the Culture: Catch Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and the rest of the network 24/7 on the Amplified Voices TV app: amplifiedvoices.com/download Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
