#TheGrammys  performance of WAP by #CardiB and #MeganTheeStallion got everyone talking. - Now the The U.S.-based National Center on Sexual Exploitation has slammed CBS for broadcasting the performance that they are comparing to “hardcore pornography”. They claimed the whole thing was a “glamorization of stripping and prostitution to be broadcast in front of a national audience – a portion of which were children – for no other reason than for TV ratings,” according to them.  The whole news about #JenniferLopez and #AlexRodriguez has been pretty confusing. First the news broke that the two of them have split after being together for four years and engaged for two. After that spread like wild fire a statement came out from them directly that went to TMZ and said “We are working through some things” so they have not in fact broken up like it was reported.  JLo is currently in in the Dominican Republic shooting a movie and Alex Rodriquez headed down there yesterday to spend time with her. He posted on his Instagram story saying “Happy Monday. New week,. New day. Onward. Upward." JLo addressed the rumours of the split in a recent Tiktok where there were different headlines that appeared on screen like the fact that she's gotten botox and that her and Alex Rodriquez broke up and then it cut to a clip of her saying “You're Dumb” insinuating that they are all false.  (1:21)  Could there be a Tiktok category at next year's Grammy Awards? After the award show on Sunday TikTok tweeted at the Grammys saying “aye let's duet on an award next year” which the Grammys retweeted which has us believing there could be a big collab coming.  We have seen TikTok become a huge platform for new artists. It has proven that you don't even need to be signed to a label or have a huge audience in order to have your music heard since the app has the ability to boost it out to millions of people. And the better a song is, the more it gets shared. We've seen the song “Roxanne” by Arizona Zervas, “Blueberry Faygo” by Lil Mosey, “I'm Not Pretty” recently by Jessie all see success because of the song blowing up on TikTok, just to name a few.   #Drake has made history as the first artist to ever have three songs debut in the top three positions of the Billboard Hot 100.    He released an EP called Scary Hours 2 which had three songs, all of which were on the chart. “What's Next” the song he released as a single with a music video took the number one spot followed by “Wants and Needs “ and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” featuring #RickRoss.    #ArianaGrande and #TheBeatles are the only others that have had had the top three positions, Drake being the only one who has debuted with all three.

Midweek Motivation is a weekly episode featuring the wisdom and stories of host Tommy Cakes. This episode is all about the Super Bowl Spectacular that was held here in Minnesota. Did you watch the Super Bowl? Here are some thoughts and observations from Tommy Cakes. In case you are having trouble understanding the audio file, the following is a translation of the audio file from host Tommy Cakes. Who is Tommy Cakes? Live on the Small Scale Life Podcast, it is Midweek Motivation featuring Tommy Cakes. Hey, how are you? I am Tommy Cakes. Who am I? I'm a guy from someplace, friends with some people and doing some things. Don't worry about it! What I can tell you is that I am in the import and export business. I import knowledge I export that information at premium prices! I will give you a little coastal cosmopolitan insight and motivation weekly on Small Scale Life. Introduction – Super Bowl Spectacular This is a little different Midweek Motivation. In the past three episodes (which have done really well, so that tells me you like this stuff), we have talked about: Keeping Our Eyes on the Target Preparedness and Overcoming Dread This show, however, is a little different. We are going to talk about something else, ripped right from the headlines, if you will. In case you somehow missed it, the big game, the big dance, the Super Bowl was last weekend in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is only the second time Minnesota hosted the Big Game: the first time was in the Metrodome and now it was in that fancy billion dollar stadium. People in Minnesota are just not used to having big games like this in their town. This game featured the New England Patriots against the Philadelphia Eagles. As you probably know, the Patriots have been in and won the Super Bowl a bunch of times, and the Eagles have been in the Big Game, but they have never won the actual Super Bowl. Obviously I am giving some credit to the early Eagles teams that won championships in the 1960’s before the merger. Story Time Let’s talk about what happened BEFORE the Super Bowl here in the Twin Cities. It really is a tale of two cities, and the contrast is interesting to discuss. Let me paint two pictures for you. St. Paul There is a lot happening in Minnesota even without the Big Game. This time of year, St. Paul hosts The Winter Carnival, which is a festival that includes all kinds of activities to celebrate winter. The Winter Carnival started in 1886, and this year it goes from January 25th to February 10th. There is a whole mythology and pageantry surrounding the rise of King Boreas, Queen Aurora their court and Klondike Kate. At the same time, there is a story about the rise and shenanigans of King Boreas’ arch nemesis Vulcanus Rex and his Vulcan Crew. There is a hunt for the medallion (sponsored by the St. Paul Pioneer Press), ice sculpture competition, snow slides, parades, concerts with local talent and sometimes a massive ice castle. It is quite a celebration of winter and distinctly Minnesotan! For more on that, go to this link: https://www.wintercarnival.com/ Minneapolis While the Winter Carnival is a St. Paul event, the Super Bowl is a Minneapolis show. The stadium is in Minneapolis, and a lot of the activities were focused around the US Bank Stadium and around Minneapolis. On this note, the NFL and their corporate sponsors rolled into town and set up shop. This included a whole “Minnesota Experience presented by Verizon” in downtown Minneapolis, where Nicollet Avenue (which is a transit-only roadway), that included booths for sponsors and a patch of snow for doing “winter stuff.” There were corporate events, zip line, and concerts. Oh yeah, they finally held a game and dropped some paper all over the field when it was done and over. Did I mention the celebrities that we here for the Super Bowl? Oh yes, they were all over Minneapolis in the fresh snow and cold! There was Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Fallon, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kevin Hart, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Pink, JLo, Bradley Cooper, Joe Biden, Stephan Curry, Alex Rodriquez, Donnie Wahlberg, Gary Vaynerchuk, JJ Watt, Floyd Mayweather in his coat, and Diddy in his bigger fur coat with his entourage. That is quite a cast of characters zipping around the Twin Cities showing up here and there, doing their celebrity things! Midweek Motivation Lesson So what is the point of all this? I know what some of you are thinking. This is sportsball and celebrity stuff, and I know a lot of you don’t really care. That’s where you are absolutely wrong, my friends. The point of this story and your Midweek Motivation is the following: In today’s crazy world, we are all looking for something in our lives that are real, have meaning and are pure. Stop looking for that in mass media, sports and Hollywood. It isn’t there. Look for that kind of authenticity and reality in local events, festivals and gatherings in your community, with your neighbors, friends and family. Events and gatherings like the Winter Carnival in St. Paul that are built on community traditions, mythology and storytelling are where authentic and real memories should be created. Don’t waste your time with the NFL, Super Bowl, Hollywood, celebrities and their shenanigans. None of it is real. All of there world is hype and a sales pitch for a corporate, plastic world. After all, once the game was over, the private and corporate jets line up and flew off, and all that was left was their trash. Let that sink in for a moment. Now, I have to get back in the lounge to spend my winnings from the Super Bowl. I won big, so it’s time for my drink, some capicola, veal parmesan and canollis! I might even buy everyone a round! This is Tommy Cakes, and I’ll see you next week! Bada boom, bada bing! Special Thanks from Tommy Cakes I would like to thank Greg Burns from Natures Image Farm and Doneil Freeman from Freeman Family Farms for the INSPIRATION to do this Midweek Motivation Podcast. You two ARE the wind beneath my wings! Also I would like to thank Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) for the "Kool Kats" theme music.

Why is it that is seems lke New England's quarterback is getting a pass? Is this a case of Black and Brow Vurses amwhite athlete, this is a question we shold ask? Some big name for example"Barry Bons and Alex Rodriquez.   Tom Brady will be suspended for Deflategate ... Announcement next week, report says Union preparing to fight for A-Rod's $6 million home run bonus Why should is be a fight to obey a contract? Barry Bonds>Rookie Status: Exceeded rookie limits during 1986 season [*] Barry Lamar Bonds is an American former professional baseball left fielder who played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants Writer get over it.................... Tom Brady, like A-Rod, Barry Bonds, Lance Armstrong, is just another sports cheater? m Brady can no longer be considered the greatest quarterback of all-time just as Alex Rodriguez and Barry Bonds are no longer in the conversation as the greatest baseball player who ever lived. Cheating is cheating whether it's performance-enhancing drugs or performance-inflated balls. And after reading the findings of the NFL-commissioned report on Deflategate Wednesday, Brady almost certainly knew about the New England Patriots equipment staff illegally deflating those infamous balls and, even worse, he probably ordered them to do it and then lied to us about it.   I dont think Lance Amtrong should even be in this conversation, He was a big time cheater. Call in and join in on the debate on this weeks show.
