Punch his mom in the face and sleep with his sister, that should make up for the e-brake.

You can try to adjust the e-brake lever. I tried after I replaced all the brakes, but it didn't work that well. You can try this. Jack up the rear end, remove the tires, rotate the rotor untill the rubber grommet is directly facing down, pop it out, insert a screwdriver, and rotate the lever from top to bottom until the rotor can't rotate any longer. Then rotate the lever back in the other direction a few clicks so the brake doesn't stick. This lever pushes the brake shoes toward the drum. Most people don't know this but the rear brakes have a drum build into the rotor for the e-brake.
