Event: Hip-Hop Stew Launch Party
May 25, 2018
Was checking out Techniques Radio on WREK.org last night and they got the word out on this Hop Stew Launch Party. Looks like a good look for the long weekend. Consider chilling and partying with a cause for at least part of this party weekend. More, much more, at HopStew.com but here’s a good blurb on the event…
Hop Stew Launch will be a fun-filled day party with performances from Hip-Hop legend El Da Sensei of The Artifacts, Shabaam Sahdeeq, John Robinson, Beneficence, Stahhr and Phoenyx. It’s going to be a boom bap extravaganza for true Hip-Hop lovers! Our launch will be hosted by Fort Knox! Music will be provided by DJ Dug Boogie and DJ Fudge. Patrons can enjoy an amazing art exhibit. Hop Stew will be donating a portion of all funds raised at launch to the Kidney Foundation. In 2016, our beloved Dug Boogie was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) which there is no cure for. Boogie needs a kidney transplant. So, one can only imagine why The Kidney Foundation is a cause dear to our hearts. The launch is geared towards raising funds and awareness. Hop Stew is Hip-Hop for a cause!

Nakefit Footpads Can Replace Your Shoes, Allowing You To Go [Nearly] Barefoot (Video)
May 25, 2018
You know those Toe Shoes they got where the shoes fit your feet like a five-fingered glove. Looking crazy to all but to all those who wear them (and be wearing them out). But this… a whole other shoe… or un-shoe. As close to barefoot as you can get.
These adhesive pads allow you to walk barefoot without damaging your feet.

A Delightful Day For Ultrasounds And Roller Fitness With Tiffany Haddish & Kevin Hart (Video)
March 28, 2018
The hits keep coming with this Kevin Hart original series. And Tiff is ackin a DAMN fool, like she is known to do! What’s crazy is part of me believes that Kevin is real with his ‘angst’ at Tiffany’s antics. A sonogram for a man though? Nah man.
Two-for-one ultrasound coupons followed by working out at the roller rink—pretty average day for Kevin and Tiffany.
– LOL Network
Something about the outfit though. I’m kinda fettishing over here. Haddish goes up even higher on the can-get-it list for this. Yup. Tiff can get it, right at the rink, in that blue & pink!

Food: What’s In ‘Your Daily Bread’? (Video)
March 18, 2018
“The bread you’re buying isn’t actually real bread.”
– Zooey Deschanel
So, I could file this under Activism. But it’s about our food. And I know if you like your white bread (I do), this may not make you think, “No more of that sh!t for me.” However, we should KNOW what we are eating… what choices we are making. It’s similar to the GMO debate. Whether you think that kind of food is “bad” or not, you should KNOW it’s there, so you can make an INFORMED choice.
You know what… this is going under Activism, too.

March 16, 2018
Okay, this ‘What The Fit’ looks hilarious! Or could it be Terry Crews? But see, I bet Conan O’Brien is funny on his episode, too. Know what? Just count that series as another win for Kevin Hart’s LOL Network. Okay, back to the interview…
CONAN Highlight: On Kevin Hart’s new show “What The Fit,” Kevin tried to convince Terry Crews that his smaller size made him a superior athlete.

Wait! Before You Take That Power Nap… (Video)
January 19, 2018
My brother (BoneBreaker Jones) and I speak on this from time to time. We’re both night owls trying to do us AND do our best to meet the daytime demands of ‘their’ world. Going hard, getting older wiser; we know we need rest and respect nap time. We can’t be #TeamNoSleep because that is just not healthy or even productive. But maybe we go about it wrong somehow. In the above clip, we (like me & you, bro can watch later after doing ‘their’ work) learn about the ‘power’ of naps… good and bad.
Let’s build that sleep pressure up while on the grind, then get only the good sleep.

Man. To be this real about his process so far. At this point, after Gordon has had Lindsey Lohan-level amounts of second chances to get over his drug problems… After EVERYONE has written him off… Doing this video expose. Respect for that, at least.
Back at the gym and on track to return to the NFL, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon reveals details of the substance abuse violation in 2014 that has prevented him from playing professionally ever since.

All the best to the former Brown. Complete the comeback, Gordon. Push yourself. Push through!

Questlove Speaks On How F*cked Up It Would Be To Cut The EPA’s Budget (Video)
September 5, 2017
Questlove and the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) put together this light-hearted PSA on what is ultimately a life or death situation. C’mon, current Administration… What? You don’t think it’s important to ensure that we have drinkable water, breathable air, and uncontaminated produce?? That really is f*cked up.
(All jokes and subtleties aside, don’t mess with the Environmental Protection Agency in ANY way. The EPA’s work is too important for scoring political points.)

Hahaaa! She said she’s gotta get baking before her oven breaks down. Easy lady. Take it easy. Experts agree that you can still have a baby after 35. Above, Adam tells you why.
(You should know the ‘how’ by now.)
The data that “modern” fertility advice is based on is actually straight-up medieval.

Technology: Tiny Device Could Heal Even Brain Injuries With Just A Touch (Video)
August 9, 2017
Wow. So instead of harvesting stem cells that can become any cell needed for medical care & repairs, just create a dime-sized device that can tailor most any cell. Great tech!
A new device has been developed at The Ohio State University, which turns cells into other types of cells required for treating diseased conditions. During testing, one touch completely repaired injured legs of mice over three weeks!
