The episode opens with the crew reacting to A$AP Rocky dancing with Rihanna during Crop Over in Barbados. The hosts debate whether Rocky was truly wining or simply moving with Rihanna and whether someone needs Caribbean roots to understand the distinction. Ebro recalls his own dancing experiences, while Rosenberg jokes about being an amateur in that environment. Rosenberg then promotes a new episode of Validate Me featuring Steele of Smif-N-Wessun. He says Steele opens up about alcohol, addiction, an abusive father and leaving home at a young age. Rosenberg also addresses the longstanding confusion between Steele and Tek, explaining that fans frequently mix up the two members because the group’s early artwork did not clearly display their faces. Laura promotes the upcoming Envision Fest and invites members of the EL Army to attend. She says families who cannot afford admission can contact her for passes. The hosts also announce that their ELR dad hat is now available beyond Patreon subscribers. The merchandise discussion becomes a debate about hats, head shapes and personal style. Ebro says he chooses hats based on fit, familiarity with the manufacturer and the likelihood that few other people will wear the same design. Rosenberg and Laura challenge his initial claim that he owns approximately 20 hats, eventually pushing the estimate closer to 40 or 50. Ebro explains that his fishing hat reflects both his interest in fishing and the pond on his property. The hosts question how often he actually fishes, leading Ebro to recall his first serious fishing trip in the Louisiana bayou as a teenager. He says the trip happened while visiting a friend around the time Cash Money Records and the New Orleans hip-hop scene were beginning to emerge. The hosts share more fishing stories, including Natalie selling bait near Brooklyn fishing areas as a child and Ricardo catching a puffer fish. Rosenberg then raises an ethical question about catch-and-release fishing: how much pain does a fish experience when a hook enters its mouth, it is pulled from the water and then thrown back? That discussion expands to lobsters and crabs. Rosenberg says his father no longer feels comfortable boiling lobsters because he believes they are screaming. The crew looks up the science and learns that lobsters lack vocal cords and that the familiar sound comes from air and steam escaping through the shell. They acknowledge, however, that the absence of a voice does not mean the animal feels no pain. Rosenberg argues that lobster may be one of the most overrated foods because its reputation and price far exceed its flavor. Ebro and Laura largely agree that marketing transformed a plentiful “sea cockroach” into a luxury food. They also criticize crab legs, crawfish and seafood boils for requiring too much effort for too little meat. Edgar Berlanga joins the show and discusses his involvement with Zuffa Boxing, the emerging promotion backed by Dana White and Nick Khan. The group explains that Zuffa wants to bring greater organization to boxing through unified rankings, more logical matchmaking and a system that resembles the structure White helped establish in mixed martial arts. Berlanga reflects on his recent fight and jokes that an early knockdown was more of a slip. He says the moment ultimately improved the fight because it woke him up and pushed him into “beast mode.” The hosts note that Berlanga combines legitimate boxing ability with the entertainment value required to attract attention in the modern sports landscape. Berlanga says he never expected to become as successful as he has, even though he recognized his potential as a teenager. Inspired by Puerto Rican champion Miguel Cotto and other elite fighters, Berlanga eventually became part of boxing’s top 1%, headlined Madison Square Garden and fought Canelo Álvarez in one of 2024’s biggest boxing events. He describes having a dream that he would fight Canelo months before the matchup became official. In the dream, Canelo told him they would fight and make history. Berlanga says he woke up convinced that the bout would happen and repeatedly told his trainer before eventually securing the fight. Berlanga says Canelo treated him respectfully after the contest but behaved like a typical opponent during the promotional buildup. Berlanga remembers arriving with his jewelry, exchanging insults in Spanish and arguing with Canelo during the final press conference. He felt Canelo underestimated him because of his relative lack of experience and expected an easy knockout. Instead, Berlanga went the full 12 rounds. He remembers talking throughout the fight and becoming angry when Canelo turned and walked away near the end of a round. Berlanga says he chased him down and landed a punch before the bell, creating one of the contest’s more dramatic moments. Rosenberg then asks Berlanga about adjusting to losses after beginning his career with 16 consecutive first-round knockouts. ...
