ERB January Update
🕑 Added 2025-01-09 22:25:45 +0000 UTCWelcome to 2025!
As you've doubtless seen in the news, Los Angeles is currently in a real state of shock with the wildfires that have spread in various areas. Everyone involved with ERB is safe and well but we have friends and family who have been devastated by these events.
Hopefully the worst is nearly over but some fires are still raging out of control, schools are closed, roads are emptier and ash is falling from the skies. It's been a very sad start to the year and we hope none of you have been affected by it all.
You will be glad to know that the situation hasn't slowed down work on the next battle. Peter and Lloyd have been in the studio this week recording audio for the secret battle and they will be filming it on Saturday and Sunday. It will be released in the early part of this year, so you won't have to wait too long for the next ERB. :)
Which brings me to the crux of this post today. Check out the video above for a mini update from Peter. I would like the guys to do more of these kind of video updates throughout 2025 so let me know if you'd like to have more. We will obviously do the full video live streams too.
If you missed the last live stream here are a few of the main talking points...
We've been editing the Behind The Scenes video for the recent Election battle. Not sure when that will be finalised but we are hopeful we can do so before the end of January.
The guys are continuing to work on lyrics for "Red Baron vs White Death" which will be the second battle coming out in 2025. It still needs some work but we want to record and film that one in the first half of the year.
We would also like to put out a third battle this year - we've not decided 100% what matchup that would be. "Ulysses S. Grant vs Ho Chi Minh" is one that is strongly being considered. If you would like to submit lyric ideas to that battle you can do so over on the Discord server.
We want to plot in some more live shows in 2025. Not worked out the details yet. But if you'd like us to come to your city let us know where we should go in the comments.
You can watch a full replay of the live stream on Patreon.

Thanks again for your continued support. We hope 2025 is a great year for both you and us.

PS This week I'll be posting up a video to Patreon entitled "Who The Hell Is... Robespierre". This is a small side project that we've been working on. We think it would be a nice way of creating some extra content for the ERB2 YouTube channel but we'd like to show you this test video first to get your thoughts. So, look out for that dropping on Patreon soon.

Super looking forward to the next battle! As a Michigander, I can confidently say that Karl Marx vs Henry Ford would be a big hit in the Detroit area if that's any incentive to come on over to my neck of the woods! In all seriousness, thank you guys for all that you do. From giving me rhymes to spit with friends in middle school to keeping me sane during the pandemic, this show's been a constant and joyous presence in my life! Much love!

Thank you Pete for this update, not just on the state of ERBs but in the state of your mind and your thoughts about all these years pushing forward with this project that is so beloved by millions of people and I personally can say that changed my life. Also, I'm sorry but I was a huge Monday Show fan back in our tumblr days, more than 10 years ago, because your style of communicating, your enthusiasm in engaging with your audiance, and more so, your beautiful music from time to time, they were a big part of who I became as a person, and I would love nothing more to see you back in front of a camera, just talking.

Looking forward to the “secret battle”! Would love to see you guys come to Canada. I’d certainly travel for it, but Winnipeg is a city that’s overlooked a lot and we’d love to have you

I loved ERB from the first day I saw it It's my dirty pleasure in Poland, because no one knows you and your work here But every person I show how great your battles are says it's amazing and wants me to show more I’m glad you are ok The news were so freaking scary even in the Middle East Europe
Eric Forsman
Def come back to Minnesota, its been to long! Would love to see you guest at Twin Cities Con this year!
Matthew A
Happy to see you doing well! Please come to Tucson, Phoenix or anywhere in Arizona for a show! For historical stuff, Thatcher vs Bismarck, Van Gogh vs Warhol, and maybe a Neil Armstrong battle would be awesome

Glad you guys are safe, news has been scary. Either way, since Pete said he wanted to get away from controversial modern stuff, I'll throw my hat for either Charlemagne vs Qin Shi Huang, or Ramesses vs Pachacuti for really old historical battles
Columbo
I second that!
HeyItsBruin
For the live shows, I would love to see you guys come to Boston. Glad you all are safe!
KC Schlueter
Would love to see PT Barnum vs Vince McMahon as the potential third battle this year!
Bubonic
Glad to know everyone is safe. Hopefully the fires die down. Would also love to see another Mythology Battle. Like Medusa vs King Midas.

Oh that's good to hear that Behind The Scenes video is still coming. A lot of people are very much wondering whatever happened to it and why do this recent and 2020's election rap battle don't have Behind The Scenes videos.

Thank you GC. Much love to you.

This video makes me feel even better about my decision to resubscribe to the patreon this month. :) I missed knowing that I was contributing to the future of this series more than I thought I would, and I'm so grateful for all of the incredible stuff this team has created over the years. I just went through a personal ERB revival of sorts, and the playlists are still looping on my speakers, and the lyrics are still constantly getting stuck in my head. Thanks for everything, NP + EL and the whole ERB crew!

Thank you for the response!

Right now it's in a bit of limbo. Could end up being the third battle. Could end up being moved to next year.

I love ERB for life. Really happy to watch such a good vibe video during these cold times. Love you all (no diddy).

With the discussion in the description about 3 battles in 2025 Does this mean Evel Kneivel vs Tom Cruise has been shelved?

So glad you guys are safe!! + Super excited for what’s coming🖤🖤

Stay safe, gang! Take all the time you need.
