Hey Jeff. Hey Eric. How are you? I'm pretty good. How are you?

Doing well, thank you. Having been in and around the music business for over 10 years, you meet a lot of people.

We meet memorable people. We meet less than memorable people. We meet people that we just flat out forget.

We go to a lot of events. We're around the scene. There's a lot of opportunities for people to exchange information with us and link

and or build. So maybe it's not so crazy that on Thanksgiving Day of this year, you received a

text message from somebody who wanted to connect. Yes, so I get this text message is from a

347 number. New York City. It says, happy holidays to you and your family. That's nice. This is

Black Rob's manager. We met at the Master of Ceremony's Concert.

Well, I'm reaching out to you, Mr. Rosenthal, on how I can help you and we can help

each other.

I have access to artists and studio to put out a lot of sounds.

I just need direction and someone who has the, someone who has the experience to be that

bridge to success.

So let me know how we can get together to talk. Have blessed day. You are that bridge. I am the bridge. And, you know, honestly, very nice message. There are a couple problems with it. All right. And the problem number one. Problem number one is it's Thanksgiving and I'm not responding. Don't text on Thanksgiving. No. And problem number two is I wasn't at that concert. You know, I wasn't at the

Master of Ceremony's concert. I didn't meet him at Barclays. That might be the bigger problem here. But he got your name right. He got my name right. And he got the number right. Yes. So a few days later, I hit him back and I say, hey, I wasn't at this concert. I hope all as well, but I would like to get Black Rob on our podcast. Can we talk? So we get

on the phone and I explain to him what the podcast is and how Black Rob has come up a number of times

when we had Jada Kiss on and when we had Stiles on and when we had the entirety of the locks on.

And that we would love to get Black Rob up here to talk about everything that has gone on from point A to point B just like every other time. Totally. Right. He says that is great. You know, it's a good look. I'd love to get him on. And so he reaches out to Black Rob and Black Rob presumably says yes. Okay. And we come up with a date, which is this Thursday. This past Thursday. This past Thursday.

At 2 o'clock.

2 o'clock.

We are ready at 2 o'clock for Black Rob to come over.

And at 2.15, he's still not here.
