Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer,
Starting point is 00:00:22 the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of Sam, available now. Listen for free on the IHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanko Wally. And I'm Hurricane de Bolu. It's a new year. And on the podcast, Health Stuff,
Starting point is 00:00:40 we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Listen on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves. I'm Mike Delo Rocha, 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.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Delo Roach on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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 would happen,
Starting point is 00:01:55 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, for wherever you get your favorite shows. I'm a home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You know if you don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey, y'all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa, and this is the latest with Lauren the Rosa.
Starting point is 00:02:21 This is your deadly dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, in all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, today, checking in behind the scenes of The Grind, it's a pretty hectic, you know, ending of the week. I've been talking to you guys and give you updates all week long on, you know, just this caretaker side of life. You guys will probably hear in my surroundings, the city of New York, because I'm currently sitting in a car.
Starting point is 00:02:49 We are doing my mom's three-month check-in scan. my mom is a stage for lung and brain cancer survivor so every three months she has to check in on herself so she checks in with her doctors here in new york they scan her full body just to make sure that nothing is growing since the last time they've seen her and that nothing new no new masses of potential cancer pop up anywhere in her body we've been doing that successfully for over a year now and things have been good but coming here here today was a bit drastic because you guys remember I'd had this planned. Whenever she does her scans, whether it's a family member that brings her up, you know, like my brother or my cousins, any of my cousins or whoever I can get to help me, I always try and plan for it to be on a day where like, you know, work is not as like work is not as heavy. So we did that last time. I planned the skins on a day where I actually didn't have to work at all. And then we found out that some of her insurances, like certain things with her insurances had been canceled and
Starting point is 00:04:00 that's been a whole thing. But you guys know about this because we've talked about it. We had Mimi Brown from the Black Information Network who handles, you know, world news, politics, community things. Talk to us about what the Trump administration is doing when it comes to Medicaid, Medicare and lack there of and how people are affected. And, you know, the news got real for me because I was a person that was on the other end of it having to deal with that. Fast forward, we are here. She's able to get her skins. Everything is looking good so far, but they forgot to do a brain scan.
Starting point is 00:04:34 And I wouldn't let her leave without them doing it. So we are waiting for that now. But I wanted to make sure we got this additional pieces of the podcast. And for today, so here we go. So that's, you know, my checking behind the scenes of the ground. I'm a little frantic today just because I've been doing so much before pressing record. But y'all know, we're going to bring y'all. the latest either way.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Now getting on into the latest new music. So we got new music from ASEP Rocky. He finally dropped his long-awaited project. Don't be dumb. This project has had several release time periods and dates, which did not happen. So, you know, fans are going off about it. They're excited to finally get it. And he's had so much to talk about.
Starting point is 00:05:18 You know, the last time we got an album from ASEP Rocky, within that amount of time, He's had kids. He is now a devoted, I would say husband, even if they're not married. Because Rihanna, at this point, they married. But that is not me confirming anything, guys. I'm jokingly saying that this being is so devoted to Rihanna that they might as well be married. I got to clarify that now at this, this error in my life. But yeah, so he's, you know, him and Rihanna are very much in love.
Starting point is 00:05:48 They have their three babies. He is, you know, such a devoted father, and we see it so much. He's also graced so many different magazine covers. He's become the face of brands. You know, his career, everything is just grown. We just saw him in highest to lowest, the Spikeley movie with Denzel Washington and, you know, being a lead man. And that, he's had a lot going on. The gun case, which he was able to walk away from, which we saw him hop over that bench.
Starting point is 00:06:20 when they read that not guilty verdict into Rihanna's arms, there's a lot to talk about here. So the album is out. Now, he sat down with Popcast, which is a podcast, it's like a cultural podcast that the New York Times does. And he was talking to the guys over there about the project. And he confirmed that like 85% of this project is new music because there were like little leaks and fake leaks.
Starting point is 00:06:45 So people were leaking like real things from the project. But then there was like music created that wasn't even really the music from the project that people would leak and say that it was music from the project, according to ASEP Rocky. So this is all the music. And they asked him about some shots that he took at Drake. Let's take a listen. The internet's going to decide who you're talking about on that song. I think we all know. They're going to say it's Drake.
Starting point is 00:07:11 I mean, that's a man who was with you in those early days, too, brought you on tour. Where did things go wrong in that relationship? I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I just started just seeing people who just started out as friends and just became foes. Seemed like they was unhappy for you. And, you know, started sending shots. And I think that's what led to any of our misunderstandings or whatever the case is.
Starting point is 00:07:40 So really ain't smoke. Does it feel resolvable to you or you think it's too hard? No, I don't even need to be like for what? But you're like no secret. Like that song's that song's for him. I don't really. Or it's for anyone who might be. It's for whoever feels like it's about them.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Fair enough. Now let's just say like, or let me just say that Drake and A.S. Rocky have been beefing for some time now. And it's like they throw all these shots at each other. Now A'sa Raki didn't have an album out, but he had been featured on, you know, a few different projects or songs throughout the year where he did take some shots back at Drake. Drake has been throwing shots his way as well too. I don't know if this is a beef that will ever actually like, like we can reconcile at this point. Because, you know, A.S.Rocke and a lot of people have the conversation about Drake and Drake's something the swag.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And, you know, I know him and Travis Scott were also into it at one point because of style comparisons or whatever. But I think deeper than rap, Rihanna is at the core of this. we just heard A set Rocky say it in the song Rihanna is at the core It's not that she's like pulling the puppet strings But obviously there's an issue about the fact that Drake was interested in Rihanna dating
Starting point is 00:08:56 Or whatever they were doing at one point And that A set Rocky is the one who ended up with her Now Asa Raki on the podcast With the New York Times He also talked a lot about You know just taking accountability In this new era of his life With that gun trial he went through
Starting point is 00:09:12 taught him. He's in a whole different space and I'm so happy to see it. Let's take listen. Were you thinking like, how did I get myself back in another of these situations? Absolutely. Because every time you're in a situation like that, never again. Never again. And when it happens again, you're like, what the fuck is this? I like, God, man, like, here we are yet again. You know, I know you're going to get me out of it somehow, but there's a lesson to be learned in this. and sometimes some lessons are hard lessons, even if you're not in the wrong necessarily, God is a funny way, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:09:49 like just, you know, humbling you or just showing you. Let me tell you something, okay, this is what I'm talking about, okay? I love to see the evolution of us, whether it's men, women, love to see the evolution, but I really do like to see the evolution of rappers, especially the male rappers because a lot of times especially if you come from and mind you ASAT Rocky is not you're not like a gangster rapper but like you know you're not going to play with him but a lot of what ASAP Rocky stands on the stands for it's about you know loyalty morals integrity but it's the it's the get fly of it all it's to talk slick of it all it's the
Starting point is 00:10:29 I'm going to exposure to a life that you ain't never seen before because you down with the ASAP mob of it all and that's what ASAP Rocky the ASAP mob used to embody across across Tumblr and then you know across other social media sites and of course in their music. But a lot of times I feel like with our rap artists and honestly I'm not even just going to say the male rap artist, but I feel like with our black talent, I don't know. I feel like we don't get the chance to. And a lot of that has changed in my opinion more recently because you see like I was going to say the female rap artist don't get the chance to evolve and be mothers and lean into career. they stay in one box, but that has completely changed. Beyonce, Cardi B, Sierra, on the music side.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Like, the girls are doing it all. And on the rap side, you know, unfortunately, we see a lot of our male rap artists lose their lives or, you know, drugs are in question. And that happens with the male and female rappers as well. Or we just don't support them and fin them the way that we should. So their careers die out. Money dries up. You know, we're just not seeing them.
Starting point is 00:11:37 The longevity of their lives, their careers, and their legacies are not what they should be, in my opinion. And that's why I love to hear and see artists in the space that ASEP Rocky is in, diversifying the hell out of his portfolio. But he started that way. And it's just getting even better. And I love to hear that he knows that having a good woman by his side only makes that better. The music is back now. Him being a father and showing the world that is such a thing as well. like, I just love to see it.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Let's take a listen to A set Rocky and just talking about, you know, what Rihanna has been in his life and just how all of that, like I feel like that like just glows you up in a way that you just don't understand until you do it. Let's take a listen.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Before I had my children, it was like being with my girl took a blindfold off and things that she couldn't make me, you know, visibly see or optical to God, like I said, had a funny way of showing me. It's like, how the hell did I end up in this situation?
Starting point is 00:12:38 This is ironic. This is something. And that's why my temperament about it was always so, like, relaxed because I knew. You know what I'm saying? It's just like, all right, this circus, y'all going to let this play out. All right, I'll sit back. You're done yet? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Like, it's just, that's what it was. For me, I looked at it like, as soon as you get with a girl, she'll tell you, like, that's not your friend. That's your friend. But that one, They can see it more clearly from a different night. And to be clear, you didn't just get with any girl. I know.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I know I got with a very special woman. You know what I mean? And I'm thankful that, you know, she was putting my life at that time because I think any time prior to that, you know, I don't think I was ready for something like that. I don't think she was either. A new year doesn't mean erasing who you were. It means honoring what you've survived
Starting point is 00:13:32 and choosing how you want to grow. It means giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike Dolorotcha, host of Sacred Lessons. This podcast is a space for men to talk openly about mental health, grief, relationships, and the patterns we inherit, but don't have to repeat. Here, we slow down. We listen. We learn how vulnerability becomes strength and how healing happens in community. not in isolation.
Starting point is 00:14:06 If you're ready to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the year with clarity, compassion, and purpose, sacred lessons is your companion on your healing journey.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation,
Starting point is 00:14:56 we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening, to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught.
Starting point is 00:15:36 The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of Sam, available now. Listen for free on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanko Wally. And I'm Hurricane de Bolo. It's a new year, and on the podcast's health stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health.
Starting point is 00:16:05 which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about. Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us, affects our overall health.
Starting point is 00:16:36 We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, other new music, I know NBA Young Boy also dropped in music as well. Slime Crider, y'all know, baby. The kids don't play about NBA Young Boy.
Starting point is 00:17:05 But I also saw a few days ago that NBA Young Boy has a new production deal with a production company that he started, which will be showcasing like a docu-series of his full tour, which I love to see artists do as well too, because again, that's diversifying that portfolio that is, you know, making other streams of income off of one set talent. But I also just love storytelling. Like, if I'm being honest, I just love storytelling and I love to watch people's journeys. but it's also going to talk a lot about his influence on youth culture, culture, and music in general. And I think a lot of people, because a young boy has had some, like, you know, issues with the law.
Starting point is 00:17:44 And, you know, I feel like the conversation around him is always about the beefs he's in and the court cases and the charge and the things that he's going through. But this year, or last year, actually, in 2025, because he was in 2025 because he was on this tour, which sold out, crazy like sold out insane um i think a lot of people really got to experience the NBA young boy effect now it's a lot of prussia steins and you know all the things but at the core essence of it it's influence it's being able to get people up out of their homes and into seats and fully dedicated to your music singing word for word having energy making the arena feel like it's shaken because of the energy in the room a lot of artists aren't doing that whatsoever at all young boy has such a hand on youth culture and a lot of people talk about the fact that he's you know
Starting point is 00:18:34 numbers wise he's always been streaming crazy like like his numbers go crazy and a lot of it happens without radio play because a lot of his songs are just not the songs that you're going to hear replayed all the time on the radio so I'm looking forward to that as well to it I know um speaking of artists uh dropping new music Chris Brown just hopped on Gunners uh WGFT as well so there's a lot of new things lately to listen to. So let's get the latest on this word. There's a word enlectic, okay? That is not really a word, y'all.
Starting point is 00:19:10 But Kim Newton on the Funky Friday podcast told us that it was. So Kim Newton was seated with Lady London, fire lyricists, female rapper Lady London. She is not the one to play word games with at all, okay? Because Lady London's specialty is wordplay. She started, you know, early on after. graduating from Howard University, writing poetry, which turned into music, and they were sitting down in conversation, and his conversations are always very wide-ranging. And they get to the when we're talking about his personal style, and she asked him to describe his personal style,
Starting point is 00:19:44 and here's what he had to say. How would you describe your style in one word? That's an adjective. Can I use a word that I've already used? Sure, of course. Enlectic. Say it again? Enlectic. It's eclectic. Well, the heavy on the N because there's no in it no no no it's my word oh let's unpack this okay got it sure word and spell it from me in C-L-E-C-T-A okay in C-L-E-C-T-A okay En-Clectic do you want to know what the N-C-T-N-C-L-E-T-E-T-E-D-E-T-E-D-E-D-E-T-E-L-E-K-E-K-E-K-E-K-E. Now this made me start thinking because everywhere I was looking people were jokingly using the word enlectic because this is another moment where, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:40 Cam Newton, just for a moment, doesn't look fully in control of his conversation. And, you know, the gist of a lot of Cam Newton's conversations is that he is fully in control. Whenever it is your interview, you are supposed to be fully in control. So I think, you know, people, people are so crazy. People enjoy seeing the tables flipped where a person doesn't appear as smart as they think they are. or doesn't appear as in control as they think they are or whatever, you know, people want to lean into. But this was a very funny moment. I saw the word being used everywhere jokingly.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And I'm like, I wonder what this moment and what those numbers are doing on Google because it's being used so much. So according to, so I looked it up. So Google has a Google trend like area where you can look up trending everything. Topics, words, phrases, searches, all of the above. Now, I normally use this when I'm looking up stories to see what the world is talking about, how much you're talking about it, to be able to prioritize stories for Breakfast Club and for the podcast here, the latest with Lauren the Rosa. But I do know that you can use it for words as well, but I just didn't know how to read the data
Starting point is 00:21:48 because the grass are not laid out in a way where you can just, like, quote a percentage of increase or anything like that easily, unless you know what you're looking at. So I reached out to the Google Trends team after looking at the public trends site because I saw a spike, not only in the words. I saw a spike in the word eclectic, which is the real word that Cam Newton meant. And let's look up Ecclectic's definition. Now I'm adding to the Google searches. So Ecclectic, the real definition of the real word eclectic is deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources. So I'm looking at these charts.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I'm looking at these graphs and I'm like, I'm seeing a spike, but I don't understand like numerically. Like I don't, if I'm going to quantify this, I don't know what I'm looking at. So I talked to the team over at Google Trends and they tell me, so search interests in the word eclectic over the past week for Cam Newton eclectic and inclectic or breakout searches. So breakout searches across Google Trends are basically searches that like aren't commonly searched that just break out and stand out and search trends because of something that happened. So the interview happened. Now people are searching Cam Newton Eclectic and Enlectic.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I'm told by the Google Public Trends site and confirmed by their team with whom I spoke with that there was over a 500,000% increase in searches for Cam Newton Eclectic and Enlectic. Insane. I hope y'all not out here trying to use this word. It is not a word. Y'all. Like, one thing we're going to do is cacko Kiki and we ain't going to let something go. But it is not a real word. Leave it alone. And please, don't play with Lady London in her words. Now, and wrapping up. A new year doesn't mean erasing who you were. It means honoring what you've survived and choosing how you want to grow. It means giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help.

Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't know how many of our lowriders have Verizon Wireless, but boy, were y'all going through it this week. So Verizon Wireless, the phone carrier, had a blackout of service across, like, the United States. States. Like it was insane. You could not, if you were trying to call someone with Verizon, you literally could not call through to their phone. Um, they couldn't call out to you. It was,
Starting point is 00:27:32 and it was for some time. It was probably for about a good, like almost up to an hour. I would say, I know my brother has Verizon and I was trying to get in contact with him about, you know, my grandmother and just couldn't. Like literally you just, they just couldn't call out. Um, and so Verizon, you know, they apologized. They, they were keeping us, data via Twitter telling us that they were going to be fixing the issues and that there will be a credit to affected customers to you know to apply to their accounts so people have an issue now because Verizon is only offering $20. Cell phone bills are about a good 150 to 175 a month okay $20. Look in this economy I'll take it but still it's almost a it's a joke so Verizon posted
Starting point is 00:28:17 late last night to their Verizon news account Yesterday we did not meet the standard of excellence you expect, and that we expect of ourselves. To help provide some relief to those affected, we will give you a $20 account credit that you can easily redeem by logging into Myver Rising app. You will receive a text message when the credit is available. On average, it covers multiple days of service. Business customers will be contacted directly about their credits. This credit isn't meant to make up for what happened.
Starting point is 00:28:46 No credit really can, but it's a way of acknowledging your time and showing you that this matters to us. Now, I appreciate a company acknowledging your time, acknowledging the time they took from you, the time they wasted your money, all of that. But I do think that they could do a little bit more. I also think that it's kind of unfair that you have to log into the app and apply it. I think on average, like, you know, people are busy.
