This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the Valley of Despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward.

Our two-part conversation is available now. Listen to the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves. I'm Mike Delarocha, a host of sacred lessons, a space for men to pause, reflect, and heal. This year, we're talking honestly about mental health, relationships, and the patterns we're ready to release. If you're looking for clarity, connection, and healthier ways to show up in your life, Sacred Lessons is here for you.

Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Delaroach on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You know, we always say New Year, New Me, but real change starts on the inside. It starts with giving your mind and your spirit the same attention you give your goals. Hey, everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of checking in on the Black Effect Podcast Network. And on my podcast, we talk mental health, healing, growth, and everything you need to step into your next season, whole and empowered. New Year, Real You.

First, drown it with a bucket of water, then stir it with a shovel. Wow. You sound just like him. Then he said, If it's still warm, then do it again. Where can I learn all this? It's all on smoky bear.com with other wildfire prevention tips, because only you can prevent wildfires.

Brought to you by the USDA Forest Service, your state forester and the ad council. I didn't really have an interest of being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building. From the underground clubs that shaped global music to the pastors and creatives who built a cultural empire. The Atlanta Ears podcast uncovers the stories behind one of the most influential, city's in the world.

The thing I love about Atlanta is that it's a city of hustlers, man. Each episode explores a different chapter of Atlanta's rise, featuring conversations with Ludacris, Will Packer, Pastor Jamal Bryant, DJ Drama, and more. The full series is available to listen to now. Listen to Atlanta is on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, man, welcome back.

That I was gonna bring y'all around some very important people. You did. Legends and some great R&B singers and stuff like that. Y'all thought I was lying.

No. I told y'all that I knew people. I know that's right. That's in touch with people. Yeah. My friends got friends who got ears. Yeah. We used to kick it like this every weekend.

Exactly. And you ain't lie. Not lying. I'm never gonna be a liar. This one of the coldest R&B that ever was. I got. Agreed. Ever is.

And not too. I'm talking about this name, that song we can get married to today. Yeah. Guess what I did today? Over the words. I said to you. It was last made.

Don't know the exact day. In my head, it was a rain. There you told me. To me. Ooh! Yeah, let's go. No, it's you. I'm your back up.

More than anything in your life. If you would you do me, yeah. He aren't about to be my wife. You're gonna be background. Hold on it. You put that tough on it. Hold on. You put that tough on in.

Hit it with that after his stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Because now, you know I've- You hit him with the Marvigay after that. Oh, God. Hey, when I'm in my, by myself in my zone, You be singing.

I'd be riding. I let all the windows. You post to. You post to. Riding around. Thought I saw you. Oh, Carlo. I did.

A little bit. A little bit. Yeah, let's get down. Ain't going to tell me some shit. At least enough to have to fake it to the song go off. That's all you need. Let's get down. That's all you need a little bit.

Because we can't sing like case. Hell no. Your boat, you still got it. Yeah. You know, we got a lot of people who's a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, I just turned 54 a couple weeks ago. I still got mine.

Yeah. Oh, I didn't even finish the end. We got Case over here right now. What up, yo? Real shit, bro. You got them hits, man. Appreciate you. Definitely.

And you still, like you said, you still got it. Yeah. Always had it. Yeah, thank God. Can't fake that shit. What show? How you doing? I'm good, man.

I can't complain. No, it was raining. It was cold, but we got through it. No, we still hugging out here, though. Yeah. We are cooking. Not performing on stage, though. It gets cold.

I mean, I get you a hood. Yeah, boy. Yeah. But, bro, like we said. I feel it. We was asking everybody because, you know, TikTok is the new generation. Yeah. I don't know if it's the new generation or it's the new platform,

but you got a lot of 20-something-year-olds who's just now going back and discovering your kids. Let me tell you what's crazy. So when they had the Missing You Challenge, they hit me, and it's missing you, the streams went up 3,000 percent. Wow. So I take that check every time. Yeah, I bet. Every time.

Yeah. That real R&B, man. Hey. That's a blessing. That's a blessing. That is. So you've been in the game for a long time. 30 years next year.

30 years. Oh, that's amazing. Talk about 30 years ago, almost. That is so crazy. So you've been in the game for a long time. Like, how does it feel to still be able to hit the stage and people are still going crazy over your music 30 years later? It's a blessing because when I first started, I never wanted to make, like, trendy stuff or what's hot now. My parents used to listen to, like, old music.

My grandmother made sure that all her great, we knew, we had to know Ray Charles and James Brown. And that was like 20 years before us. So my thing was I want to make music that people are going to want to listen to 20 and 30 years later. Yeah. I think the first shit I heard you on was the nutty professor. Yeah, yeah. Touch me, tease me. Yeah.

Touch me tease me. That was that one of the, that shit, that's shit. That soundtracks used to be the shit. That sound track was cracking. That sound track was cracking. We had Ain't No nigger, Jay Z and Fogg. Yes, sir. That is crazy.

Different. Yeah. And then you also listen. legendary because you had Beyonce in the happily ever after video. Like back then when you met Beyonce, did you know or did you think she was going to end up becoming the Beyonce that she is today? So let me tell you. So it was a three-day shoot. Okay.

It was B. Her dad, her mom, Salon, Kay, McKellie. And we would be in the trail of talking. She was like, dang, I wish we could get nominated for a Grammy. I wish we could. Yeah. I'm like, oh, yeah? And then a couple years later, I'm like, you still wish that?

Yeah. She didn't get a Grammy. She didn't even coach her Grammys. Yeah. Yeah, how about that? And they use it as a sippy cook. Yeah, they use that as a bathroom. Yeah.

Yeah, it's beautiful to see. I love it. I'm happy for it. Yeah, that's amazing. Man, I just remember watching the videos. You remember when BETT, we play like all R&B. Midnight Love. Yeah, Midnight Love.

Yeah, it was right before uncut. We ain't going to talk about that. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I got to go on. You know what it is. You know what it is. Yeah.

Oh, baby, tell me what that thing is smell like. Yo, go to the Bell Bondsman. And we shouldn't know that song because we were too young. But it's all right. It's all right. That's funny as ever. These were videos. You're like, where did these videos come from?

Yeah, they only showed it on cut. Who was the person who was like, ah, that's too wrong? I put that on the stuff. Nobody. Man. Because after watching it and getting familiar with all the videos, you start having love neighbors. Every night.

Yeah. If YouTube was out, that shit would go and went viral. Yeah, fake. Oh, for sure. And you know the order is on about you. Oh, beautiful girl in the world. Bah, b'b, b'bh, b'bh, bha'am the dream.

Man, listen. I'm mad you know the name. He was watching real close. It was some shit on there that was so bad. It was so bad. You remember that white girls? Yes. Always.

They show TIFRil on there. That's the only thing. Play days are so tip drill. Oh, that credit card? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That was different. I almost got locked up trying to do that in real life. Yeah. I had to follow the video. I was gone. You got to keep in mind, that first batch of fake asses was phenomenal. No, they weren't fake then. That was, that we didn't see.

We didn't know. We didn't know. No, trust me, I know. Oh, he said I know. Trust me, I know. In that video, it wasn't true. I don't know. I don't know those few.

That was the beginning. But I can vouch that. There's a lot of them. I wouldn't. Yeah. I don't know why people try to play with black women like that though. Like we have always naturally been voluptuous and had nice bodies and had, you know. We've been winning forever.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I missed the early, early 90s. Yeah. When you ain't need no ass to be fine. And you didn't even know where you could go get that from. You just get a haircut.

And this, it was symmetrical. It had this and then the thing. It was, yeah. You had that Tony Braxton? You was different. The pixie cut? Yeah. If you had the pixie at the top of it.

If you had the baby, baby, baby. If you heard that, you were popping. Oh yeah, she was my favorite back there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. T'paws was fine.

Still is. Yeah. Man. Don't do that. Look at it. You saw that hit. Don't do that. Don't do that, Lowe's.

And when you said, T.B. My first shit popped in my mind was the Crete video. Yeah. Baby, baby. Baby. That was my joint. When they started Crip. Oh, I was on that way before that.

Yeah. But they were sex in pajama. pajamas. They was. And they were silk. The silk pajamas. Yeah. I don't know my fabrics too.

One of them. It was one of them. It was one of them. It looked good. Man, we're going to get some new shit. Oh, yeah, yeah. I got the single, the remix for my single naked with R.L. and Rahim Devon.

Okay. I got a new song called Kickback that's coming out next month with me and Mr. Talkbox. I'm about to go to tour. I can't make a request. I need you on this one. What's it? I know you don't really fuck with the social media streets as heavy as we do. I'm telling you, we need one where a nigga begging for his woman back.

They say they missed it. Well, hold on. They say that's what the game missing. They want us begging. It is. And you do a nigga who can do it. Yeah. I got you.

Yeah. I got you. We need that. Men don't be outside. They don't be outside. They don't be outside. I'm not going to go real far with the bagging. Because I mean, my man, Mike, shout out to Mike from voice.

He's like, I knew you was out with other guys. I just didn't care. I'm not going that far. I'm not going that far. They want to see us do some shit. Yeah. I got it. I got you.

to take accountability. I got you. I got you. I apologize. Well, I didn't do nothing, so I'm not taking accountability, ma'am. If I did do something wrong. I think the-Arts just don't realize they really control the narrative. They do. That's why I feel like men are not as romantic no more because we don't have that music coming out no more.

I'm going to tell you why that is, though. Because girls be wearing lingerie to the club with some Jordan. Uh-oh. That's fair. Not the Jordan. I've seen a couple of Kobe's. You're right. You're right, you're right. You ain't wrong, though. For sure.

And that's fair. I feel like women definitely these days, they don't carry that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It was different. Back in the 90s. But I know how to bag. It's a high school. I still know how to bag.

I'm going to do it. But I feel you. I got you. I'm going to be in with you. I got to get in on this. I got you. We're going to bring that shit back. Let's get it.

Yeah. Let's get it. That's a good request, Carlos. Yeah. I'm telling. I'm working over here. Yeah. I'm telling you.

Bring an interview. This is really. We really submitted. And then we heard the, he can still go on the stool. Yeah. And light it up. And he's from the golden era of R&B. Fax.

He know what a hit is. All we got to do is say, all right, bro. Marr. Let's go. Yeah, let's go. All right, bro, apologies on. I'm sorry. We got to do traditional, like, you know, you got the chorus.

Okay. We need to move back bridges. They don't do bridges no more. That's because they've been making them short for TikTok. Come on now. That's true. We got to crash Tick. Where's the bridge?

We're going to start that hashtag. Press TikTok. But I do love TikTok for what it's done for a lot of artists. It's like made a lot of older songs to be surfaced. That's why they're so short. Yeah, that's how long. But before we wrap this up, I just had that sing this for me. Just sing, I'm leaving all my holes for you.

I'm living all my hoes for you. Yeah, that is one. That is one. That's that one. We got one. That's that show right now. We got one. I'm lying, but we got.

I'm gonna clip that and send that to my man. Yeah, we got one. He need to hear that. Hold up, you leaving on your host for him? No, he didn't hear that, she said. Oh, she almost slipped up. Boy? He did almost get you slipping in a little bit.

That one, that's a hit. Yeah, that's it. It is a hit. I'm leaving home. Purple platinum in my household. Come on, man. All right. I'm excited now.

Me too. I don't really want to end it. I know we got three more, but whatever, bro. That's half an album. Yeah. We got to get back together. Yeah, you already know. We got to put the band back together.
