Eddy says Raven's videos make him sick, he calls Raven a mophead who gets the most interview time between he and DDP, he then tells Raven to kiss his ass. Raven then tells "Ed" that he's looking for sympathy from the wrong person, that maybe if Eddy had better command of the English language, then maybe he'd get more interview time.

R: You want sympathy Eddie? You want sympathy Ed? Maybe you’d get a little more promo time if you could speak a little better English. Maybe if you had a higher level of diction and maybe if you didn’t have that pack of jabronies following you around.
