A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zieman, and this is Monster Hunting the Long Island Serial Killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York since the Son of Sam.

It's a new year, and on the podcast Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health, which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? Health Stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves. I'm Mike Dellarocha, host of Sacred Lessons, a space for men to pause, reflect and heal. This year, we're talking honestly about mental health, relationships, and the patterns we're ready to release. If you're looking for clarity, connection and healthier ways to show up in your life, Sacred Lessons is here for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Delaroch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the valley of despair is realizing this has happened and you have to make a choice whether you're gonna stay in it or move forward. Our two part con is available now. Listen to the mailroom on the iHeartRadio app Apple podcasts for wherever you get your favorite shows. How many people would love to hear, like a Pete Rock produce Locks album? All I need is one piece. All you gotta do is pull. What up, y'? All? This is Joe Crack the Dawn. Your boy Jada. Man, it's the Joe and Jada Show. Things are changing in life. Every show legendary, every show iconic. You know, I mean, shout out to 1800 tequila. 1800. You know, we. We do it different over here. When you think of today's guests, you think of hip hop. You ain't never lie. Capital letters, iced out. Hip hop. You think of from the basement. Some of the craziest records you to ever land on your eardrums came out of his basement. You think of Rest in Peace, Heavy D. You know what I mean? You think of Mount Vernon, money earning on the map. Because you think of. You just think of great production. You think of a timeless legacy. One of the first producers/ DJs,/ MCs that have bars that was arguably better than the best bars on the song. Yeah. You know what I mean? And that's hard to have back then from way back. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, make some noise for my brother, Pete Rock. Man, it's such an honor to be here, folks. Appreciate you. I support y'. All. When I'm on the gram, sometimes I repost y'. All. You know, you repost anything with the Yankees and Knicks, that's it. You argue with anybody. They could be from Yugoslavia. Anytime anybody says anything about that. Knicks. When I go to the comment section, I see pr. He's like, you. He's going crazy. Or he's. He's defending the Knicks. They don't give a. They don't want to see us. They don't want to see us. We win, man. Why you think they hate New York so much? Cause we do it. Cause we. We started a lot here, from fashion to music to slang. Everything you could imagine. You know what I'm saying? Started in New York. They don't want us to win, man. I would be jealous, too, if I was from out of town. How about that? How about. They say. They say we got an accent. Like, we. Yeah, it's our accent. We do got an accent, baby. Peabody, first of all, let me ask you a question. Facts, yo, because you go ahead. Just get mine ready, man. Questions now. I'm all right. I'mma let you take the lead. No, no, I gotta ask you this one. I'm coming on here to keep it a beam with everything. If y' all want to ask me whatever, that's yours. Let's go, baby. Why is it me? Load them up. I ain't got no controversy for Pete. It don't have to be controversial. Yeah, yeah. I ain't got all that. But what I want to ask you, Pete Rock, right? Cause it's important to me. I'm just asking you. You could tell me. Yes. No, whatever. Do you feel the love and the influence I have from Heavy D? Because, you know, you watch everything on the Gram. You watch everything. I try to salute him to the highest. He opened the door dancing. No, dancing. I used to dance like Heavy D, man, when I was younger. Hopefully we could get a clip of that James you can find with crack. The question is, I know how much you love Heavy D is a lot of people. Do you feel like Fat Joe try to give it up to Heavy D as much as he can? Yes. Yes. I feel like he opened the door for, like, the way he. Man. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like, he opened the door. Marky D. I used to always say that they looked alike. Prince Markey D from the Fat Girls. And then once people get inspired, you know, it just multiplies, bro. Like, everyone just starts picking up the inspiration. Not even. They don't even. They can't even help it at times, because I got a guilt right now that I'm talking to you, I realize I got a guilt because Heavy D not only was my idol, but he became a good friend of mine. He fly to Miami, hang out with us. But I never grabbed his shoulder, looked him in his eyes, and said, yo, I'm here because of you. You inspired me on that level. If it wasn't for you, I would have never believed that whatever I'm doing is capable. Yeah. And so that's why every chance I get and I reminisce, I have, I post them. I this, this and that. But I'm kind of mad at myself. Maybe it was the era we was in where everybody had to act tough, too cool to tell them that. A lot of people ain't telling that. A lot of people ain't tell them that. Responsible for holding their hand in the dark and walking. You in this business, man. I know that he. I remember he helped Rough Riders figure out how to navigate their way in the game. Yeah. I told him what to do with X. I remember us going to Heav's garage, him on the punching bag as young locks, giving us words of encouragement and telling us what, you know, the do's and don'ts to look out for in the industry. So. Yep. I appreciate Ev's time on earth and knowledge and, you know what I mean, Everything he did for the culture and for me personally and for the locks. Yeah. And so imagine being under that every day. You know what I'm saying? So I came out of that. You got Eddie F. What was the other dude? The Heavy D. And Du Bois. C. Roy and Trouble T. Roy. Well, Trouble T. Roy is a real guy. Let me salute him. Now, you know he's the one that moved down to Miami and all that, right, Troy? No, that's G Wiz, Gee Whiz, Trouble T. Roy. Rest in peace. Yes. Gee Whiz is a real dude. He know what I'm talking about. And, you know, he's a solid guy. He cut from the cloth, man. Then you got your man. You know, I try to get y' all both at the 30th anniversary. I remember. See how smooth people don't know who he talking about. You can't have side relationships. Well, you know, faces, all our jokers. Come on, dope. I don't even know what's going on. Come on. Crap. This month. This month we have a side federal drug talk with him on his. No, I'm saying CO Smooth, right? I try to get Pete Rock to see how smooth at the joint y' all came out at the lean back 20th anniversary in Apollo. And Pete Rock said, no way. I forgot. How did that fall apart? And is it to the death? Like, you know, in this business, bro, like, when you come across different personalities, but you match with one talent wise. But, like, physically and mentally, it don't work. You know, in the very beginning, it worked, but once you get to really know each other, the real them comes out. And it stirs up a bad character in me that I don't want to come out. At first, I was mad at the fact that I had to deal with somebody of this stature who's very different from me. Yeah. What would you say is his faults, though, Jelly. Jelly, huh? Jealous jealousy. It's a bad. It's a bad disease, bro. He's a rapper. You're the dj. He's everything. Yeah, but you produce in the beats. So you say he was jealous of your own success. I seen he has that in him. Yeah. Yeah. And that don't work for grown people. When you growing into a man that don't work no more. When we get older, like, you just be like, come on, man. I'm like that a lot. I think that's how I'm able. Like, I ain't catch a heart attack, God forbid, or a stroke yet. Because I just lay off that when that dudes act crazy. Yeah. 2:46. Yeah. This top full of. Yo, listen, when I get to 142, but I don't think I could beat one. Can I beat 132. You can't be one foot. I don't want to look. You might lose fans. I don't want to look like a crackhead. I don't want to look like. He'll go one foot, you go, 222. I don't want to look sick. And click the wiggle a little. CL's very talented to me. A lot of people used to not get what he used to say, you know what I'm saying? Like, but he, he. He got a great voice. He could rap. And I wish we never broke up. I wish we could have still been together. I wish he was a certain way, you know? But sometimes it just happens like that, man. You can't control it. Wrong, man. Because it's like rumors of, like, naughty by nature. They do shows, but they don't even talk to each other. They stay in. I wish I could do that, though. I wish I could do that. You can't even do that for the band. It's kind of, like, awkward, though. I can't. How could you have chemistry on stage? Then when it's over, you go in your separate corners. And that kind of, like, makes shit feel for me I don't know about. I guess I got local for the most part. I got lucky because I'm a solo artist. I get it. There's guys I was down with that I would never, ever. I don't give a fuck. A billionaire, billionaire Mexican guy come and said, I love the TEDX Squad. I give you a hundred million for this album. I'll be like, nah, papa, nah, papa. I'm not fucking with these guys. And you gotta understand, I look at this whole game different. I'm born in poverty. I'm born in Bronx Lebanon Hospital. All the odds against me. I got shot at every day, did everything in the world, in the world. If there's anybody who ever helped me is Diamond D, Lord Finesse digging in the crates. Besides them, nobody ever helped me or gave me a boost. I go and I get myself in a situation where I could sign people and give them half a million million dollars. This, this, that. Use all my juice. You know the way we get Big Pun to do the song with Joe the singer. He never met Joe the singer. Kedar Massenburg. Shout out to Kedar Shout out to Kadar Kadar is the man at Cali's golf day. I met Kedar through his brother from Stetson. Shout out to Daddy. So I'm cool with Daddy O and Daddy yo introduces me to Kedar. So when we want to make this record for Pun. I call Kedar. And then Daddy O co signs. Try that. Shout out to Daddy, yo. And Joe shows up in the studio, does the song. He never even met Big Pun before that. So you over here jostling these moves and doing everything for everybody. And then you get artists who somehow you make them big. And they start thinking they bigger than you. Yeah. And they start talking to you crazy. That's the thing. And so I understand how some things can't be repaired because people step out of line to a point of where you just like, all right, fuck that. It's just going to. There's no one on your side to say, yo, chill. Fuck out, bro. Chill, man. Every kid should have a logical uncle that's in this game. Any young kid, I don't care if he's worth 200 million, 20 million, that he's hot, he needs an unk. They could tell him, yo, chill. Yeah. Before they touch the frying pan. Yeah. Those people you tell that, they touch the shit anyway. Can't you leave the room? Yeah. You can't treat people like that. Can't talk to them. Especially a guy. Not. Not your guy. Let me ask you a question. I had a Bronco with the biggest sound system. You see. It felt like a Jamaican party. The window open. I drove up and down 163rd with groovy news, mother in law. Them. I might have drove 10,000 times. This was going to the bottom of the hill, make a U, turn to the top, to the hill. I don't even think I heard a bar. All I heard was, to me, in Fat Joe's List. That might be the greatest hip hop beat of all time. That's the greatest sentimental hip hop record. It's the greatest sentimental hip hop record in hip hop. I could agree with that. What I'm talking about is the beat, right? And the lyrics is out of control. When I heard that beat, it was almost ancestral. Heard them horns. I was like. He went, let's play it. Let's hear it. Crank that shit right now. Oh, we gonna hurt. Yeah. When we talk about music, we play. Tell Rich, call Jeff from Rewinding and tell him we shooting. Let's toast some 1800 to this classic right here, man. Toasted Joe's leg. See, that's it for me. Yo, Pete, let me get. Let me get that. That cup right there. You drink out of it. I reminisce for a spell. Or shall I say think back 22 years ago to keep it on track. The birthday of a child on the 8th of October a toast but my granddaddy came sober Count all the fingers in the toes now I suppose your whole little Black boy grows 18 years younger than my mama But I really got beatings cuz the girl love trauma in single parenthood there I stood by the time she was 21 had another one this one's a girl let's name a bam same father as the first but I don't give a damn. Irresponsible, plain not thinking Papa said chill but the brother keep winking still he won't down you will tear out your hide on your side while the baby make a slide but mama got wise to the game the youngest of five kids hunt. Here it is. After 10 years without no spouse Mama's getting married in the house Listen positive over negative for the woman a master mother queens rise in the chapter deja vu tell you what I'm gonna do when they reminisce over you My God God. Timeless class. They play this. You just feel good about yourself. Exactly. No matter what's going on no matter where you at, no matter. I feel like a great summer. You feel beautiful when I take back I recall a man off the family tree My right hand papa doc I see took me from a boy to a man so I always had a father when my biological wouldn't bother taking care of this so who am I to make not a bad ticker but I'm clocking pops liver but you can never say that as Life is through five kids at 21 believe he got a right to. Here we go. While I check the scene with the Portuguese lover at the age of 14 the same age, front page, no fuss but I bet you all you know they live longer than us never been seen now that's where you're on Give a man a and he's gone not north sleep To a jazz tune I can hear his head danging in the next room I get the pillow and hope I don't wake him with this man the guts hear it all in verbat telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over I said pop maybe when you're older. We laughed all night about the hookers at the party My old man standing, yelling good God almighty, use your condom take sips to the brew when they reminisce over you for real it's so lovely. You hear it and it sounds. It's beautiful. How you make something like this 1990 I reminisce so you never forget this. The days are way back so Many bear witness the fitness. Take the first letter out of each word in this joint as I prove my point of Big loose fighting in the street, baby. Big Lou. Family together. Like my Aunt Joyce. Till Pete Rock hit me. Enough respect to where they reminisce over you. Listen, listen. Just listen. Jay's a dj. We gotta let Jay DJ one day. The next word is gone. I'm not playing. Everybody just pulling. This song is dedicated to the one and only. Never be another. He was my brother. Trouble T Roy. It's like that, y'. All. 1992 race. Man. Goosebumps. Yeah. Rest in peace Trouble T. Boy, that was my man. Man, that album, man, that was. What it do for you. Cause you right next door. You a yonker still. You could go to fucking Mount Vernon and see people. I went a lot. My aunt Joan lived right around the corner from Big Lou. Yeah. So it felt like a win for the town. You know what I mean? It was a. They was doing shit head was already a win. But then to have his cousin and his man come out with these songs in this production, it felt like Westchester and Mount Vernon and Yagus new role. We was getting on the map, you know what I mean? In a major way. It gave me hope. It gave like, yo, hi, I'm next. I got a chance to do this. They brought Run DMC back. The King of Rock. What was like that? When they. What was like that? Call like Rest in peace. Jam Master J. That was the homie. He was the 1. JMJ. Rest in peace DMC. JMJ. Shout out to run 2. But D& J were the ones. That's for people. You need this. Yeah. Yeah. He inspired us too. But how was the king? Yo, that was the. How did. Everybody was in that video. Everybody was alive still. When they called you to make this song, what was going through your mind, man? Cuz you bought the pack in a major way, like. And they sounded good. Yeah. We got. After he talk about this. I don't think we could do that. I don't think nobody could do. Do that right now in 2025. Bring like an OG smoker. The way you crafted the production. And they fit from so many years of. From you just knowing about Rock Box and all that and being a fan. Being able to. From being a fan first and then, you know, trying to impress Russell Senate at a young age. I'm 18, 19 years old. Want to show Russ I could do this. Yeah. And so after the shut them down work the remix work, I was getting kind of Pulled myself there, and they gave me a shot. I look at it as a shot like, Jam Master Jake showed up at my mama house, knocking on the door. So I opened the doors. Jam Master Jay almost got real dizzy, you know what I'm saying? Then he's like, yo, come on, let's go work on this. We had a meeting. And in the meeting, Russell was looking at me like, you know what I'm saying? And I had to prove myself. And I started getting down because I was like, maybe they don't want work. And Jay showed up at the crib, was like, yo, let's go next. Let's go work on this. And, you know, we started crafting ideas. And he said, yo, this is the beat pattern I want. And I was like, no, I just hit record. And I was like, you do it. He'd have a beat pattern. You did it. Then I added Zigza. We did Sock Mouth, and I just finished it all. So we kind of made it together. All the sounds came from me, but it was his idea. I wish Scott Storch gave me that credit, man. I did Lean Back. Megan ran with him. I did all my joints with him. And I swear to God, I ain't pressed the buttons. But I told him the sound. Yes. Candy Shop, I did it. He denies it. I had little Kemp dancing. Like, everybody. Like a Snake Mama Scott, Storks. No, no, no, no. But, you know, you could tell him that he. Yes, right. Yes. And so I went for a long drive this weekend, right? And all I heard about 30 times in a row was, whose world is this? World is yours it's mine Is mine, it's mine. Whose world is this? Whose world is yours? Ah, shit. Whose world is this? You just came up with the hook. Like, no, actually, he there, you know, he came to the Vernon shout out to Lars Professor. You know what I'm saying? Your Lars. After they left Eric Sermons career and went to cpr. Yeah. Large professor who started Lloyd Finesse, who was the captain of all of this. And so he was like, yo, Pete, I got this dude. Then you played me the barbecue thing. I was like, wow. Brought him to the crib. Then he comes in and he just stands against the wall. And then I pop that one in. And I was about to say, all right, let me go to the next one. He was like, hey, yo, yo, chill, chill. That's the first time he ever said so. He's just like, start doing this. And I was like, do you like it? And he was like. Kept popping. And then he Came up with the hook, like, gave him a few minutes. He had that composition book or whatever, I think. And then he was like, yo, I want you to sing this part. Cause you know, I used to play around on records and be doing that little stupid stuff on records, but he wanted me to sing that part. And he was like, sing it like this. And then he started singing. Ooh, well, it's this. I didn't know it was going to come out the way it did, but I said, I'm going to do my best. Crazy, ridiculous shout out to the ill man. Next we got to ask the brother himself. Nas. You know, I ain't got to tell you. You know, you got to touch the couch. Him, Jay, they all gonna touch this couch. Yep. They confront all they want, buy new coliseums, whatever the fuck they want. They know they want to touch that stratosphere of real hip hop. They gots to come on this. You could buy new coliseums, whatever the fuck you want. Look, my fingers, my Twitter fingers are getting tired of hitting Jay Z and Nas with congratulations. If I look at my last 30 texts, it's like, yo, congratulations, dog. You pulled it off. God bless you. Means a lot coming from you, Joe. Yeah, good man. This like these guys. One thing. I'm ready to borrow something from both of them. Almost ready. Well, you know what? Oh, I'm with Jada. Not to put you in the spot or nothing, but you know I said I ain't chopped liver over here. Well, you ain't never been chopped liver. Never. We know that such thing. How would. How many people would love to hear like a Pete Rock produced locks album? All I need is one piece.

Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanka Wali. And I'm Hari Kondabolu. It's a new year and on the podcast Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health, which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body and mind inside and out healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health Stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A new year doesn't mean erasing who you were. It means honoring what you've survived and choosing how you want to grow it means giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike Delar Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This podcast is a space for men to talk openly about mental health, grief, relationships, and the patterns we inherit but don't have to repeat. Here we slow down, we listen, we learn how vulnerability becomes strength and how healing happens in community, not in isolation. If you're ready to let go of what no longer serves and step into the year with clarity, compassion and purpose, Sacred Lessons is your companion on your healing journey. Listen to Sacred lessons with Mike Delarocha on America's number one podcast network, iHeart. Follow Sacred Lessons with Mike Delarocha and start listening on the free iHeartradio app today. Hey there. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain insight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys are toxic, they're immature or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Hey everyone, it's Ed Helms and I'm Kal Penn and we are the hosts of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast I am talking to film and TV critic, radio and podcast host and Harry Potter super fan Rhianna Dillon to discuss Audible's full cast adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. What moments in this audiobook capture the feeling of the magical world best for you or just stood out the most? I always loved reading about the Quidditch matches and I think the audio really gets it because it just plunges you right into the stands. You have the crowd sounds like all around you. It is surround sound, especially if you're listening in headphones. Listen to Hearsay, the Audible and iHeart Audio Book Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts. You do. I love that last. I like the block. Thank you. I love that last album with Common. That thing was. Hell yeah. Shout out to comments. My brother Rig. Yeah, we was talking about hip hop and the game and this and that. When you tap a MC Shan sample, you know something's coming. Your like it came. No MC Shan, the Real Deal Full Wave title. Don't give a about, man. We. We hit him off, he take the teeth out and it's. It's on. I still respect him. Yeah. What was he talking about? MC Shan. He's wanting his money. He got his money. He got paid. I knew you knew to take care of him, but he still went crazy, right? Yep. You can't. Oh, it was. You know what that is, bro? I paid three times. But the last shit I put out, the paradise for Stevie Beach, I paid for the sample to the niggas that own it. Yeah, I know the sample you use. I paid him. You know, I tried my best to not be in the mc. Like, he don't own it. We did the right. I went to him, he started telling me, yo, I own it. Coming back to 20, 28 this. I said, yo, how much? Please let me pay you. Whoever said they owned it, I paid it. Like, yeah. I mean, I didn't want no beef, right? I didn't catch no beef. I didn't know that was going to come afterwards. I thought he was going to be like, yo, because he did a post where he said, yo, them brothers is stand up brothers. Then the next week he went in on us. So that's the part I didn't get. Like, how you gonna do a post? I'm gonna tell you a problem with this podcast shit. I bigged up two, three, four people that I really love that we all know. It's like me bigging up Pete Rock. I'mma always use Kick Capri. He's one of them top five DJs. Kid Capri. The next thing I was like, where you put him at? Bronx. What one DJ in the world. What more you want to be? You call them that? Yes. Whipping em. We gotta discuss the latest effect. I'm like, yo, I talked to Kid Capri, yelling at people, right? All the time. You gave DJs they flowers and you put Khaled on a red carpet.

Like, I always looked at Daz and Corrupt as spitters. I got a joint with Dre and Corrupt, right? And I did both beats because the beat changes in the second verse.

This shit was like, good luck, Rikers island or whatever, you know what I'm saying? This shit was Prospect movie theater. They threw one concert. For some reason, Ice T performed. And I never forget, it was around the time Larry Davis had shot them cops. Ice T was on top of the speaker talking about, go, Larry, go. Niggas was going to go, Larry, go. He had the whole crowd screaming. I knew this nigga was bugged out. I'm watching him. I say, yo, this dude is dope. Only Robin Hood will ever have.

You know, Ted is like, everybody take the Knicks. We just keep the whole team and get Giannis. That's exactly what I was going to say just now. Oh, no, we're not keeping the whole team if you keep the major players. You're not doing that. That's the only way I'm not giving up everybody. The only seven footer to shoot threes like that, besides Jokic, is Cat. Talk slow to these people. Oh, you so full of seven footers. The threes. No, fuck. Come on, bro. Wait. I'm trying to tell you.

It's a new year, and on the podcast Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health, which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life. And to start doing that, we break down the topics you want to know more about sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body and mind inside and out healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that. That it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike De la Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures we're taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care. If you want a healthier relationship with yourself and the people you love, then Sacred Lessons is the podcast for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike de La Rocha on America's number one podcast network, iHeart. Follow Sacred Lessons with Mike De La Rocha and start listening on the free iHeartRadio app today. Hey there. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain, plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

He never put it out. He didn't want to hit this version. Yeah, he bodied it. Some guys don't want the hit. They want to be underground so much. I never understood why he didn't put out the hit. B Rock. What are some of the beats you wish you did? Oh, wow. At least two Dr. Dre beats. All right. At least two primo beats. Yeah, but which? Do you remember them or you just know? It'll come to me. Some big L shit. I wish I did the Big Picture beat. I love that title. Who else? I said? You said two Dre. Primo, Dre, Supremo and Dre. I wish I made the Chronic Jesus Christ. Yeah.

The way he was using was like. He sounded like AI in that day. Shit sounded like motion pictures. Little ghetto boy. All that shit was just out of control. Name me a couple of songs you wish you did. So when you hear it in the club, all hits. That's a good question. Lean Back in the Club. Oh, fuck out of you. Flo Jo. Flo Jo. Straighten it out. They reminisce over you. Yep. Whose world is this? I really wish. I wish I made mad show I wish I made in the club for sure. Every time I hear it, I'd be like, you know I made Candy Shop with Scott Storch. You know, I told him how to make the shit, he made it. And 56 turned that into some other shit. He called me 20 times. Are you sure? I could give it to 50 years before any beef or anything. I was like, yeah, give it to him, man. Every time I hear that motherfucker, I be like, God dang. But like, how did I let that. I heard how to Rob before everybody. Like, 50 don't remember this, but we was in Track master. He saw me. He was like, yo, yo, yo, Pete, check this out. And he just pulled into the corner. He started spitting alerts to how to rob. And I was like, you gonna upset a lot of people with this one. Then when I heard that beat, I was like, oh, no, no. That shit was crazy. You know he's the original troll. Yeah. But checkmate happened, so. 914. 914, baby. 914. 914. Checkmate. Yeah. 914B. So I don't play. Yeah. Like, I don't listen to either. I don't listen to either. I don't listen to Super Ugly.

Me Is the Bridge Is Over. Lyrically, the Bridge is over. It's the first time I knew Jamaican. That's true. That was a good one, huh? What do you want me to do? Well, that was a good one. I like that. I like that. I get myself in the South Bronx. Was it too much? How many Jamaicans. I like that one. People across the country ain't grow up with Puerto Ricans. How many rappers got put in a place behind a diss record? A diss record? Oh, no. Behind the diss record. How many rappers said, I ain't going at that interview leaving it alone? Yo, let me tell you something. KRS1 was my hero. I get that. And he was in Schitt's creek. I get that, okay?

It's a new year and on the podcast Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health, which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how we messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about sleep, stress, mental health and health. The world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body and mind inside and out healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health Stuff is about learning, laughing and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every January we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike De la Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures we're taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care. If you want a healthier relationship with yourself and the people you love, then Sacred Lessons is the podcast for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike De La Rocha on America's number one podcast network, iHeart. Follow Sacred Lessons with Mike De la Rocha and start listening listening on the free iHeartRadio app today. Hey there. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, shame, anxiety and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Hey, everyone, it's Ed Helms and I'm Cal Penn, and we are the hosts of Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am talking to film and TV critic, radio and podcast host and Harry Potter super fan Rhianna Dillon to discuss Audible's full cast adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. What moments in this audiobook capture the feeling of the magical world best for you or just stood out the most? I always loved reading about the Quidditch matches and I think the audio really, really gets it because it just plunges you right into the stands. You have the crowd sounds like all around you is surround sound, especially if you're listening in headphones. Listen to Hearsay, the Audible and iHeart Audio Book Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts. LL Cool J destroyed a lot of careers. Like his first battle with Kumo D, that was like, that was the one. Joint for joint, joint for joint, joint. That was a real battle. Was considered the nicest lyricist at the time. I was able to make tell my boss it was no song better than the Wild, Wild, wild West. My pops, he made records. I don't play anything. Him, I don't give. I used to live uptown. This is real Wild west everything. Turn all that shit. I want to hear this. My pops, I played that to death, that album. Kumo D. How you like me now? How you like me now? Teddy Riley. Come on, bro. Teddy Riley did that? Yeah, yeah. Big 30 lollies. You didn't know, man. This is called a show. TR Did a lot of TR did Black New Generation Generation for Cool Key for them in a minute. Listen in there. No, that's classical, too. Classical 2 is the name of them. Perhaps New Jersey. They were on Rooftop Records. Rooftop had a label. No, no, no. I remember the first time I heard that was I was in Vietnam in the Bronx at a. At a house party. And they play raps. New generous. New generous, generous. Get on up. You know, they got a video with me about 14 with the bubble goose with the big in the middle of the fucking jam, New York. I skrill in the whole fucking party. You know what I'm saying? They got a video way out there, like that you gotta find that for me. They got a video back up and remember the time Michael Jackson. No, we got a video of you. I'm gonna post it somewhere. I was doing that. I wasn't like spinning on your head and I was. I was windmilling and back spinning. I could still do it to this day. Anybody want to bet? Yeah, I got windmill. I got 10 windmills in me. Yo, Pete Rock. What's up, brother? Where's hip hop going? Artists don't even want to rap no more. Now these young boys want to stream. Only the pioneers could save us. Only people like us could say this, that understand the realness of what we're doing. You know, the music we make, you know, the. The now we understand how important the youth is in today's society. Everything that's happened, you know what I'm saying? And we want to connect with them. Because I had a hard time listening to that music. I was harsh. And my apology is, you know the De La Soul album, We made a record call yours, and we talked to the View. So that's kind of like my apology joint to the View. It's called yours. Yeah, I heard it. I didn't pick that up. Records on it, Commons on it. All right. Yeah. And so that record was an apology record to the youth. So I feel like with us being older that know how to stare the shit, it's gonna be up to us to really have them connect with what we do. And hopefully, you know, they listen. And when we're gone, you know what they tell me? His son, because I hustle him all the time. His son, come with me. I have debates with the no, but it's crazy. He goes with my son, with his daughter. Faces it now. Everybody likes to pick their brains. I don't want to debate. I want to know what the youth is thinking. Yeah, that's my man, your son. You know what I'm saying? So I go, yo, what they say about this or what they think about that? And then they'll tell me. And I'm like, are you serious? I guess what I get into it with answers is far fetched because they don't understand. I'm in the pool with Nori's sons. I said, who's your favorite rapper? They tell me a name of a guy I never heard. I said, well, they was like, unk, you're not going to like it. I said, what you mean the beat is trash? The rapper's trash. He's my favorite, yo. Like, who does that? Who's the best Producer in the past five years. Who do you think that is? Has five years? That's like a microwave question. Damn. Come from where longevity. Damn. Is molded. I'm gonna say Alchemist shines. Alchemist. I'm gonna say he shines through Alchemist in that alc. Alchemist. Alchemist. Yeah. We bumped into each other in Japan. Oh, shit. Alchemy. I've been walking in the record scale. Y' all was shopping the record store, digging in Japan. I walk in and I see this guy, and I'm like, yo, that's. And then we hung out. Uh. Oh. I remember one time I was walking by the train station, and somebody was selling some old records, and I bought him maybe $3, a bunch of old reps. I brought him back to diamond, and he looped up this joint I had. I had one of my first demos was, he's a big shot. Fragile is a big shot. He took it from the record we bought and made a fucking beat out of it. And that was like one of my first demos, you know, With Diamond, I seen so much greatness with Diamond. You know, he still got it. Like, I go see him dj, and he got the same diddy bop. I'm like, the diamond diddy bop. And it's crazy, right? Because I told you that Reminisce is probably the greatest beat in the. I like horns. Horns hit. And right now, what? Even just horns is just like, like my lifestyle. I like horns for some reason. Even that joint y' all just played, the gangsta gangster gang. That's some horn. That's some shit, though. What's your favorite instrument to sample? Keyboards sounds. And I like horns. I, I did the horn things, and then, yeah, you got these. You, you horned. You was all heavy horns. Yeah. Everybody started following. I, I, I got it. I got it mostly from 45 king. But Marley. Marley started doing it first, no doubt. But 45 King, like, stressed it. And then I just said I just capitalized on it, you know? Let me tell you something. I'm starting to work again, right? And I'm asking people for that raw sound. The other day I heard It's a Hard Knock Life. Even though that was a commercial hit, if you listen to it now, it had that roar 45 king sound. A master. I can't find producers these days to get that. What's the problem? Even when they do the raw sound, they'll do something glossy. They'll do something to it. It won't happen. This is why AI is bad for music, okay? They don't have souls. They don't have the ideas that come from here and land here. Just a little knowledge about, you know, the music. It has to come from within for it to be dope AI can never reach. You know what's crazy is I had this guy every Sunday. I don't want nobody lined me up. But I go to the Italian deli and I go get my olives, my stuff, you know. And they had a guy there that was almost like the Rain man, you know, he goes, olives. I've always. Cannolis, olives, matzo mel, you know, mozzarella, like. He called it. What did he call? Yo, come on, yo. Hey, watch them canoes. Them canoes. Called the moxa Male. You can't go back. They can't. Can I say something about the mill? So I get to talking to this guy, right? So I'm in there talking to him, and then he's talking about jazz music. And this. He says. He says, hip hop. You know how to play instruments. You know how to. I said, no. He was like, so where does hip hop come from? So as I'm explaining to him, for the first time in my life, it opened my mind. So I was like, yo, hip hop comes from sampling all other art forms of music, Whether it's Jamaican, whether it's jazz, whether it's. It don't matter. We sample everybody else's music and make sure I'm explaining it to them. And while I'm explaining it to him, I'm hearing it myself for the first time, where I'm like, oh, shit. We come from all kind of music. Run dmc. I'm the king of Rock. I said, you know, they sample. Well, Bailey Roy, remember that rock? Yeah, remember that shit? I'm gonna tell you. We did the 50th anniversary in Yankee Stadium, and if you ask me, I silently, you know, none of my victory. Nobody broadcasts Fat Joe's victories. They just won't. Whoever you name stepped up on the stage, I really believe. Top three, top two. I ripped it down more than anybody. I don't care. Common got busy, too, though. Common was there. He did good. He didn't do. Not better than you, though. All right? Joe ripped that shit down like me in the backyard. Yeah, Nobody ripped it down like me. But I'm gonna keep it real with you. I go up with my family to the suite, and them boys came out and that shit said. And I was just like a kid again. And one dmc. I was like, yo, the gods is here. Like, one dmc. That Was big for me when I was a kid. They were like superhero gods. Come on, bro. Fat Boys run dlc Rapping Duke. And something else my mom's bought me there. That was one of my best time of my life. Yep. This thing got their producer. I know his name, but you remember, right? Larry. Larry Smith. Larry Smith. Larry took me inside his captain life. That's my friend Chauvin drove off and he never came back. Fucking genius, man. Davey dmx, all this. Dave cut the record down too. That was Davey Dave. That's what we was talking about and stuff. Cut this beat because Dave cut the record down to Davey D. You called them. What did you call them, Dave? So we said, no, you called them something else. Davey D, you're all the best. Cut this record for the D and A. I used to like Malcolm McLaren. Worlds Worlds famous Supreme Team marks the preteen team. Show, Show, Show. That shit was crazy. It was crazy. It was right? That's real hip hop shit. That shit was crazy. And you went to the. They had the jams in. Was it around the same time as the Bronx? The jams in Mount Vernon. They had to have jams too, right? Yes, Graham. School Park, Memorial Field. And then there was a 70s concert with the Jackson 5 came out, bro. That's what he said. He went. No, no, he went to the one. I caught. Run dmc.
