And finally, they walk listeners through a “protect the vote” petition circulating at store entrances.

We back talking rappers and how longevity impacts their rankings, whether or not we could do a 5 minute comedy set, urban legends we believe in and so much more! 

Nelson and Brandon dive headfirst into the sins of dating filters, Hooters' downfall, and why FaceTiming someone a live show is disrespect at its highest level. From “arctic rabbits” aging like milk to grown men still simping for chicken wings, nothing is safe this week. Episode Highlights:- Why “snow bunnies” don't age well- Hooters vs. OnlyFans and the lost art of connection- The falloff of making friends when going out- Why livestreaming comedy shows and podcasts kills the vibe

Two minutes in and you can hear it: this is soul built for feeling and for the floor. We sit with Spanish artist Carlos Abril to unpack the spark behind Love So Strong, the disco‑tinted energy of Sensational and Get Down, and the quiet discipline of slowing down so songs can actually breathe. He traces a line from Don Blackman and Sheik to present‑day production choices—live‑leaning strings, drums with pocket, arrangements that give DJs space to work—and explains why he writes like a diary: honest, specific, and not edited for the algorithm.We talk upbringing and how a small city with big support turned experimentation into a habit, not a risk. Stevie Wonder looms large—in lyric, arrangement, and sheer wonder—and that reverence becomes a north star for taste, not imitation. Carlos opens up about working mostly alone, catching himself before perfectionism breaks the vibe, and how a healthy relationship with yourself might be the most underrated tool in a songwriter's bag. The conversation stacks into a bigger theme: time beats money. With time, you write, practice, connect, and heal. Without it, even a budget can't buy you voice.For selectors and heads, there's plenty here: DJ‑friendly intros, the logic of long mixes, and why modern soul thrives when club intent meets headphone detail. Looking ahead, Carlos teases a debut album that folds in folk colors, Brazilian sway, and a touch of psychedelic haze—Motown uplift filtered through his own compass. If you've been craving groove with heart, hooks with heritage, and stories that feel lived‑in, this one's for you.Stream the episode, add the tracks to your playlist, and tell a friend who needs a lift.

What if the biggest relationship breakdown in your life became your greatest breakthrough? In this raw and revealing episode, certified Integrated Attachment Theory Coach Brian Power takes us on a journey through the invisible forces that shape our connections with others.Brian shares his personal story of relationship collapse—complete with a restraining order and temporary separation from his son—that ultimately transformed into healing and reconciliation. With remarkable vulnerability, he explains how childhood abandonment wounds from his father's absence created patterns that sabotaged his adult relationships until he finally confronted them.The conversation explores the four attachment styles (secure, anxious preoccupied, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant) and how they manifest in everyday relationship behaviors. From checking a partner's phone to appearing emotionally unavailable, these patterns signal deeper wounds begging for attention. The most powerful revelation? The qualities that trigger us most in our partners often mirror our own unhealed trauma.Through practical exercises and insights, Brian demonstrates how we can reprogram subconscious patterns within 21 days of consistent practice. He breaks down the six core elements needed for healing: addressing wounds, identifying needs, processing emotions, establishing boundaries, improving communication, and changing behaviors.Whether you're struggling in a current relationship, healing from a past one, or preparing for future connections, this episode offers both compassion and practical tools for transformation. The path forward isn't about finding perfect partners—it's about becoming more whole ourselves so we can create the deep, secure connections we all desire.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: The SHITTS Podcast.

In this explosive episode of the Everyday Black Men podcast, the crew dives headfirst into the chaos surrounding Charlie Kirk's legacy, media hypocrisy, and the libertarian identity crisis. Reed opens with a firm refusal to comment on-record while The Black Libertarian sharply critiques America's double standards and the strange canonization of Charlie Kirk as a modern MLK. Stylish breaks down the contradictions of the “theory-left, reality-right” crowd, while Sham and Riker trade jabs on empathy, identity politics, and who really benefits from performative outrage. The hosts dissect libertarianism, Charlie Kirk's political relevance, and whether his killer's motives are being exploited to further social division. By the end, debates rage over Candace Owens' documentary takes, Carmelo's racial gratitude speech, and whether Charlie Kirk will even last a 30-day news cycle—assuming one of his kids doesn't run for president first.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

His name was John Roberts.Now lauded investigative reporter David Daley reveals the urgent story of this fifty-year Republican plot to end the Voting Rights Act and encourage minority rule in their party's favor.

What happens when life's setbacks become the catalyst for extraordinary success? Mr. Devour's story answers this question with raw authenticity and entrepreneurial fire.When a workplace injury left him unable to return to conventional employment, Devour faced a critical choice—give up or reinvent himself. With a wife and two children depending on him, he revived a dormant dream and launched Devour Collection, what he proudly calls "the only exotic streetwear brand in the world." Born and raised in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, Devour infused his South Side roots into a fashion philosophy that's caught the attention of filmmakers and tastemakers alike."I gave myself a 10-year deadline," Devala reveals, "and honestly, I make five years in October and I've done a lot more stuff than I thought I would have done." That "stuff" includes clothing features in multiple films alongside notable actors, expanding his brand into couture and intimate apparel divisions, and launching a music label under his Pretty Fly Corporation umbrella. But success hasn't come without profound personal challenges, including battling depression and childhood tragedy—Devour lost two brothers in a fire when he was young.Perhaps the most powerful takeaway from Devour's journey is his perspective on time versus money. "What can you do with money without time? Nothing," he states. "What can you do with time without money? A whole lot. I come from the bottom." This wisdom permeates his approach to business and life, creating generational wealth for his daughter (who has her own brand, Motivation) while relentlessly pursuing his vision despite naysayers.Visit DevourCollection.com and use promo code DEVOUR for 15% off, or catch the brand's upcoming fashion show in St. Louis on October 18th. As Devour would say, "Live freely in your lifestyle while devouring your prey. Whatever trials and tribulations you go through, step into that shit as the lion, and never the mouse."Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: The SHITTS Podcast.

Held at New Lab in Michigan Central Station, the event highlighted the professional, data-driven work these organizations are doing across Detroit.The conversation reveals how these grassroots leaders are reclaiming Detroit's narrative by proving neighborhoods can be revitalized without displacing residents.

Through careful analysis, we reveal how director William Friedkin weaves hidden means and symbolism into the fabric of his hit film.
