It's time for One Funny Morning with special guest, Comedian Mike E. Winfield! A little more about Mike ... His comedy is refreshing & relatable in a way that makes him a comedic genius. Hailing from Baltimore, MD, Mike E. moved to California to pursue comedy & to escape the rough streets of Baltimore, remembering how he found a gun under his Mom's pillow as a child, & thought, “I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY TEETH TO FALL OUT.” The comedy scene felt natural to him & he embraced it raking up credits such as The Late Show with David Letterman, a reoccurring role on NBC's The Office, Brad Paisley's Comedy Rodeo on Netflix, an Emmy Nomination, & multiple movies in post production, one with the rapper DMX called PIMP. Somehow in the midst of rising to the top, he had to grow up quickly because he fell in love & married an older woman with a child. That was actually the problem, he wasn't ready to be a husband, so he made many mistakes within the marriage. He has since learned & developed a bond with his stepson, or as he calls him - “ StepMAN” - because they're close in age. He takes his ups & downs in his life & marriage & turns them into jewels he releases on stage. Mike is currently on tour and can be seen at the Vail Comedy Festival this Memorial Day weekend. Check out all of his tour dates and more at www.mikewinfield.com

Mikee P and Nick Tammaro break down the Late Pick 5 at Keeneland for Friday, April 18, 2025.

Hi Loyal Readers. I have two pieces of good news to begin this week's newsletter:* Many of you reached out after last week's issue to say kind things. Thank you.* Several of you signed up for our discussion of “The Egg” on April 27That's what Article Club is all about. We're a kind, thoughtful community that likes to read and discuss the best articles on race, education, and culture. Whether you're a new or not-so-new subscriber, thank you for being here.Over the last 5 ½ years, one consistent feature of this newsletter has been its monthly interviews with authors. We launched with Jia Tolentino back in January 2020 and have never looked back. This week, I'm excited to share a conversation that my co-host Melinda Lim had with Susan Berfield, who co-wrote “The Egg” with a team of investigative journalists at Bloomberg. My hope is that you'll listen to the interview and then sign up for our discussion on April 27.If learning more about the human egg trade is not your thing, scroll down past the fold for two other pieces that I feel are worthy of your time and attention. They're about:* A librarian in New York who reminds us there was a time before Google* A college student who wanted to fit in at his fraternity, no matter the costAs always, thank you for trusting me to supply you with things to read. My hope is that they spark new thinking, expand your empathy, and bring you joy.An interview with Susan Berfield, author of “The Egg”The more I re-read “The Egg,” the more I respect Susan Berfield and her colleagues at Bloomberg who brought us this robust report on the human egg trade. If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, I highly recommend you do:Original Article • Gift Link • Google Docs version • Audio versionSadly, this kind of journalism — big investigative journalism — rarely exists anymore. That is why I am so grateful that Susan Berfield generously said yes to sharing her thoughts with us at Article Club.In her interview with Melinda, Ms. Berfield shares the impetus for the article, how she and her team went about reporting it, and the lessons she learned along the way. I appreciated how Ms. Berfield characterizes the tension between the opportunity and the exploitation that women experience in selling their eggs.It's a thoughtful conversation on an important topic — one that seems to be receiving a lot of attention lately. I hope you take a listen and let me know your thoughts.Thanks again to Ms. Berfield. Here's more on her work:Susan Berfield is an award-winning investigative reporter and editor for Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg News where she's exposed how Walmart spies on its workers and McDonald's made enemies of its Black franchisees. She uncovered a con man who talked a small Missouri town out of millions and revealed how Beverly Hills billionaires bought up an enormous water supply in the Central Valley. Her story about the biggest food fraud in U.S. history was the basis for an episode of the Netflix documentary series, Rotten.2️⃣ The Department Of EverythingStephen Akey: “⁠How do you find the life expectancy of a California condor? Google it. Or the gross national product of Morocco? Google it. Or the final resting place of Tom Paine? Google it. There was a time, however — not all that long ago — when you couldn't Google it or ask Siri or whatever cyber equivalent comes next. You had to do it the hard way—by consulting reference books, indexes, catalogs, almanacs, statistical abstracts, and myriad other printed sources.
