Al Elliott: We All Want To Matter (Video)
July 20, 2016
My dude Thed Weller! He goes by his born name, Al Elliott, when he is reaching and teaching the masses (Mr. Elliott when those masses are his 5th-grade students). So very proud of this brother. What a wonderful TEDx talk he gives about how important it is that we all feel like we matter and how we ALL play a role in making that happen. It’s probably not what you think, but it’s everything you could imagine or hope.
We all want to know that our ideas matter. In this touching talk, educator Al Elliott shares how was all have the opportunity – and the responsibility – to validate the ideas of others in our lives.

Comedy: Dax Shepard And Conan O’Brien Are Open To A Wife-Swapping Orgy. What Does Amber Rose Think?
July 20, 2016
Whoa. Dax Shepard with a lot of pauseworthy moments in this Conan segment. Haha! But you know Conan will get right in there and keep the funny going. But hey, wait, Amber Rose is there. So, if they want this convo to get next level freaky, all they have to do is ask.
And they do.

Comedy: Donald Trump Wins a Huge Endorsement (Video)
July 20, 2016
Bwaaahahaa! Okay, ‘Beelzebub’ aka ‘Old Scratch’ finally gives his official #Campaign2016 endorsment. Satan is stumping for Trump! But the funniest thing is that he opens with wording that sounds like it was taken straight from campaign scripting.
Donald Trump is the only candidate running who has the business savvy and proven leadership skills to keep the Democrats out of the Whitehouse and lead this country…
Yep. ‘Lucifer’ obviously lifted some wording straight from the RNC speechwriters’ notes. Don’t hate. Then again, he is ‘The Devil’ so…

Dr. Umar Johnson Speaks On Crises Facing Black Americans, Offers Strong Criticism Of President Barack Obama And More (Video)
July 20, 2016
Straight with no chaser. Count on Dr. Johnson, agree with him or not, to deliver his points plainly and with passion. Lays out the how and why Black people have come to suffer in America the way they do. Also speaks on why our protests, though necessary, have not effected real change.
Dr. Umar Johnson stops by The Breakfast Club to discuss the growing social issues affecting the African American community. Dr. Johnson believes that before we can fix the problem we really have to understand it. He is very critical of President Obama for not doing anything for the Black community and offers a few theories as to why he has not done so.
The talk of ‘the illusion of inclusion’… powerful! All of it in fact. Lean in and listen up.

Watch Stephen Colbert Crash The RNC Stage (Video)
July 19, 2016
Getting a bit of footage for a skit for The Late Show, Stephen Colbert sneaked up onto the podium and ‘gaveled’ the Republican National Convention (RNC) to order this past Sunday ‘Hunger Games’ style. However, the words he uttered as he struggled with the security staffer firmly escorting him away from the mic should prove to be most poignant and memorable:
“Look, look… I know I’m not supposed to be up here. But let’s be honest, neither is Donald Trump.”
Solid. Satirical. Political. GOLD!!

The Hurt Business (Documentary Trailer)
July 18, 2016
From the producers of Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Generation Iron, THE HURT BUSINESS details the lives of various martial arts superstars, including Ronda Rousey and Jon Jones, competing in the fastest growing sport in the world and the struggles and triumphs that accompany all careers in cage fighting.
Besides featuring both legends, such as Georges St-Pierre, and up-and-comers in the sport the film covers the history of mixed martial arts fighting, from the coliseums of ancient Greece to modern day venues such as the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, all expertly narrated by Kevin Costner.
Themes of injury both mental and physical are explored and the question is raised; is it worth it to sacrifice one’s mind and body for sport?

Curren$y – “Good Cop, Bad Cop”
July 18, 2016
Pulling guns out for a traffic stop… What you gone do if they come for you?
Jet Lifer Curren$y puts it down over a tamped down beat. Like the rest of us, Curren$y has seen ‘others’ give the cops hell but live through it. And like the rest of us, he is tired of seeing us brothers get beat down and KILLED for the same or often less.
Listen to “Good Cop, Bad Cop.” Feel this.

@Jayforce Thank you sir
— SAMM (@SAMM_WILSON) July 11, 2016
Done and done! Thank you for the word brother. Relevant convo, especially for the trying times of today for our people.
I hate to say it… My Instagram feed has been looking like a slave movie.
Damn. Usually, the MCM podcast is on some other sh!t – funny, male-centered, NY-bred flavor – but this episode…whew! Though it started mostly light, the fellas had to give way to the seriousness of the #BlackLivesMatter themed discussion kicked up to next and next levels by guest Samm Wilson who declares:
I’ve had run-ins with a lot of cops who just didn’t see me as a regular citizen.
Well… THAT’S what up with your ‘All Lives Matter’ folks. Not to everyone. Listen up.
