ShizzyGetBizzy Top 10 2_11

ShizzyGetBizzy is back with a list… and this one comes with smoke. 😤🔥 In this episode of The Morning Experience, Shizzy drops his Top 10 Things That Piss Him Off—and let’s just say, nobody is safe. From everyday nonsense to the habits y’all swear “aren’t that serious,” he’s airing it ALL out. It’s petty, it’s relatable, it’s loud, and it’s guaranteed to have you saying, “Wait… I do that.” The team reacts, defends themselves, and of course turns it into pure comedy chaos. If you’ve ever been irrationally irritated (or been the reason somebody else was), this episode is for you.

Who is the Greatest R&B Male Singer of All Time? The Morning Experience team steps into full bracketology mode as legends and new school icons go head-to-head in The Great R&B Male Singer Debate. From silky 90s crooners to today’s chart-topping vocal assassins, we seed the bracket, argue the matchups, and probably disrespect somebody’s childhood in the process. Is it vocal range? Cultural impact? Hits? Longevity? We break it all down, round by round, until only one king is left standing. Expect passion, hot takes, nostalgia, and a few “ain’t no way you just said that” moments. Let the debate begin.

Microwave News heats up with two disturbing stories that demand accountability. We break down the $50 million lawsuit against Dollar Tree after the body of 32-year-old anesthesiologist and mother of two Helen Garay Massiell Sanchez was found in a store freezer in Miami, raising urgent questions about workplace safety and corporate responsibility.

We also examine the case of Cheree Byrd, a Black woman awarded $100,000 after her premature baby died while she was incarcerated in a Syracuse jail—despite her repeated pleas for medical help. 

Plus, a Black History Month fact, a Topic Tuesday teaser for our Great R&B Male Singer Bracket, Conversation & Chill, and Look At Dis’. Heavy news, quick hits, no fluff.

The Mornin' Experience 2_9

On this episode of The Morning Experience, we’re breaking down headlines that make you stop and say… wait, what?

We start with Kid Rock’s “Rock the Country” festival quietly canceling its South Carolina stop after multiple artists pulled out—raising questions about politics, branding, and who’s really buying tickets.

Then we get into Sen. Adam Schiff’s warning that Donald Trump may attempt to undermine the 2026 midterm elections, as concerns around election interference resurface once again.

Plus, Nike is now facing a federal investigation over alleged discrimination practices, putting corporate diversity, layoffs, and accountability back under the microscope. 

Our main story digs into a jaw-dropping investigation out of South Carolina, where a rural county quietly approved a $2 billion data center deal during a winter storm, spotlighting how secrecy, energy use, and corporate power collide—often without public input.

We also tap into Black History Month with a featured segment examining how America continues to sanitize white supremacy, reactions to the R&B singer draft, viral “Look At Dis’” moments, and another round of Things That Make You Say Hmmm…

Tap in. This one connects dots.

Friday on The Morning Experience, the team gets a little nostalgic—and a little hungry. We dive into the ups, downs, and character-building trauma of being a latch key kid, from after-school freedom to figuring out dinner before you figured out algebra. Then it’s Foodie Friday, and the Flavor Forecast takes over as we unpack the mysterious, slightly chaotic history of the Buffalo wing—who invented it, how it took over America, and why it somehow tastes better during a game. Real talk, laughs, and food facts to carry you into the weekend.

The Mornin' Experience 2_4

The Morning Experience team gets competitive (and a little petty) with The Great R&B Male Singer Draft, building a full tournament-style bracket that pits timeless legends against new-school hitmakers. From golden-era vocal gods to modern crooners with streaming stats to prove it, the crew debates range, impact, catalog, and straight-up “can’t-skip-this-song” energy while seeding matchups that are guaranteed to spark arguments. Bragging rights are on the line as they crown who really deserves the R&B throne—old school, new school, and everybody caught in between.

The Mornin' Experience 2_3

This hour of The Morning Experience digs into the stories that make you stop mid-sip and say… wait, WHAT?

We start with “Things That Make You Say Hmmm…”, breaking down the arrest of 21-year-old activist and Temple University student Jerome Deangelo Richardson, who turned himself in after a federal warrant tied to an anti-ICE church protest in Minnesota. We unpack what he’s being charged with, why the FACE Act is suddenly back in the headlines, and how his case connects to the arrests—and releases—of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, plus Minneapolis activists fighting back against what they say is criminalized protest.

Then we zoom out to the South, where a Gullah Geechee community on Sapelo Island scores a rare win against gentrification, voting down a referendum that could’ve priced Black landowners out of their ancestral homes.

And just when you think the news can’t get more surreal: a Florida IVF clinic mix-up sparks a lawsuit after white parents say they were implanted with the wrong embryo—raising serious ethical, legal, and racial questions about reproductive medicine in America.

We close the hour with Conversation & Chill—context, clarity, and real talk about power, protest, property, and how these stories connect in ways the headlines don’t always explain.
