“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola’s massive influence and advertising dollars.…

×Send us a text "When kids draw to you, they see your heart." This simple but profound observation sets the tone for a rich conversation between Dom L’Amour and his best friend Chris Bates about what truly matters in our relationships with family, work, and ourselves. The episode begins with Chris sharing his unexpected joy in working from home while raising his daughter Jaide. Rather than feeling the guilt that many parents experience when balancing careers and childcare, he's discovered a rhythm that allows him to be present throughout the day. "I've been able to create a routine where I don't have to overcompensate for time with my child, because I'm around her all day," Chris explains, challenging conventional notions about work-life separation. This leads to a fascinating exploration of how our relationship with work fundamentally misaligns with human needs. With eight hours for work and eight for sleep, we're left scrambling to fit everything else into the remaining time. Is it any wonder that Chris and Dom have come to value random weekdays off more than traditional weekends? The freedom from crowds, the better service at restaurants, and the peace of enjoying experiences rather than just enduring them makes a compelling case for rethinking how we structure our time. Perhaps the most thought-provoking segment emerges when the conversation shifts to family dynamics and boundary-setting. "Are you intertwining family with love? Because family and love are two different things," Chris observes, cutting through the obligatory nature of many family relationships. As we age and recognize patterns in how people treat us, the line between who deserves our time and energy naturally shifts, regardless of blood ties. This isn't about abandoning family but about establishing mutual respect within these relationships. The episode closes with Chris reflecting on the pure joy of being "Uncle Chris" to his nieces and nephew. The genuine connection he feels when children choose to love him speaks to something we all crave – authentic relationships based on who we truly are rather than what we provide or represent. Whether you're reassessing your work situation, navigating complex family dynamics, or simply trying to find more joy in everyday moments, this conversation offers both wisdom and permission to create boundaries that honor your authentic self. Listen now and join Dom and Chris in exploring what it means to be truly present in all aspects of life.

Send us a text Take a seat and get ready to test your knowledge alongside Dom and Bates as they face off in an electrifying game of Black Jeopardy on this special episode of the Black Man Talking Emotions podcast. What starts with a simple rock-paper-scissors showdown quickly evolves into a riveting battle of wits across five categories: Black TV shows, music, pop culture, Black history, and movie quotes. The chemistry between Dom and Bates drives this episode, as they navigate questions ranging from identifying Rosa Parks' Montgomery bus boycott to recalling the iconic "Go home, Roger" catchphrase from Sister, Sister. Listen as they confidently answer some questions ("King Kong ain't got shit on me" from Training Day) while hilariously struggling with others (the names of the four women on Living Single). Their competitive banter creates moments of genuine hilarity, especially when they digress into an impromptu discussion about the contrasting approaches of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. Beyond the entertainment value, this episode serves as a celebration of Black cultural knowledge and history. Whether they're reciting Drake lyrics ("Last name ever, first name greatest") or reflecting on Emmett Till's historical significance, Dom and Bates demonstrate how games can be both fun and educational. The friendly competition culminates with Dom claiming victory at 1,000 points to Bates' negative 200, though not without some good-natured protests about question difficulty. Whether you're a trivia enthusiast or simply looking for an entertaining, knowledge-filled listen, this episode delivers laughs while showcasing the richness of Black culture across multiple domains.

Send us a text "If you weren't so damn nice, you'd be successful." These words, spoken to Dom L’Amour years ago, sparked a profound journey of self-discovery that unfolds throughout this intimate conversation with Cleveland Jones. For artists navigating the music industry, establishing your value doesn't come with a handbook. Cleveland openly shares the moment someone told him he was "like a hoe that people can pimp out" because he didn't recognize his own worth—a brutal assessment that changed how he viewed himself professionally. Dom echoes this experience, recounting his own struggles with industry professionals who sensed his eagerness to please and exploited it. As Cleveland approaches his fifties, he candidly discusses facing retirement without traditional financial safety nets, a reality many creative professionals encounter. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when they explore the concept of "choosing your pain" rather than simply setting goals—deciding what sacrifices you're willing to make and which boundaries remain non-negotiable. For Dom, no career opportunity justifies sacrificing family relationships; for Cleveland, maintaining his peace of mind has become paramount. The beauty of this exchange lies in its remarkable vulnerability. Both men acknowledge the unconventional reality of a performer's life—working when others socialize, facing constant rejection, and learning to protect their creative spirits while building sustainable careers. Their shared wisdom offers a masterclass for artists at any stage: true success comes from honoring your craft, knowing your worth, and staying true to personal values. Whether you're a musician, creative professional, or simply someone navigating your own path to self-value, this conversation provides both practical wisdom and emotional resonance.

Send us a text When everything feels overwhelming—from global conflicts to personal struggles—how do we find clarity and peace? This raw mental check-in episode explores the powerful intersection between worldwide chaos and individual challenges that many of us are silently navigating. Sharing my personal journey toward an 8.5/10 mental state, I reveal how removing social media apps from my phone transformed my ability to think clearly, connect meaningfully, and rediscover creative focus. This simple change created space for genuine growth during a time when global events and personal milestones collided in overwhelming ways. The discipline of maintaining digital boundaries has rippled through every aspect of my life, from relationships to productivity. Instead of hoping things will improve—whether it's fertility challenges, family disagreements, or career uncertainty—I've learned to accept reality while taking concrete action on what I can control. The first step toward change is awareness; the second is acceptance. For anyone feeling pulled in multiple directions or struggling to find mental clarity amid constant information, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on putting yourself first without guilt. Because true self-care isn't selfish—it's necessary for showing up fully in our increasingly complex world. Subscribe, share your own mental health journey, and let's continue this important conversation together.

Send us a text Dom L'Amour speaks with Christopher Shank about our creative process, being more organized, working on ourselves and so much more. What if the secret to creativity isn't waiting for inspiration to strike, but simply showing up consistently? In this thoughtful conversation with screenwriter and friend of the show Christopher Shank, we dive deep into the mechanics of the creative process and challenge the notion that artists need to wait for the perfect moment of inspiration. Shank shares how breaking down his scriptwriting into manageable chunks—sometimes just a single scene during lunch—has transformed his productivity while preserving his mental health. Meanwhile, I've discovered that continuously moving between projects—songs, poems, musical scenes—keeps my creative muscles active without feeling burnt out on any single endeavor. We both agree: consistency trumps intensity when it comes to sustainable creative work. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we explore the relationship between creators and their tools. I detail my practice of designating specific pencils for specific tasks—drawing inspiration from Japanese perspectives on objects having their own energy or spirit. There's something powerful about treating creative tools with intention rather than mere utility. As Shank puts it, "Everything has its own energy." We also unpack how ideas evolve in unexpected ways. Shank describes a story he's worked on for nearly two decades that finally clicked when he found the right metaphor, while I recount how a song inspired by "Cherokee" transformed from an attempted tribute to Native American history into a personal reflection about living off Cherokee Street. Creative ideas rarely arrive fully formed—they need time and space to evolve. Whether you're a seasoned creator struggling with blocks or someone just beginning to explore your creative potential, this episode offers practical wisdom for sustaining your practice through both inspiration and drought.

Send us a text Dom L'Amour speaks with my girl Maria Bartolotta about Her 10 years of being sober, struggles with moving, Relationships with family and friends, and so much more. Grateful drunks never drink." These six words have carried Maria Bartolotta through a decade of sobriety—a journey that began in a world almost unrecognizable from today. Think: Blockbuster stores still open, Netflix mailing DVDs, BlackBerry phones, and Ebola dominating health headlines. Dom Lamour and Maria dive deep into what it means to maintain sobriety not just as a lifestyle choice, but as a necessity. With remarkable candor, Maria reveals how recovery tools have shaped her approach to life's biggest challenges, particularly her recent decision to leave New York and return to her hometown. "My ego says you failed, you just turned 35 and you're living with your parents," she admits, despite knowing logically that the move opens new creative doors. The conversation explores the delicate balance between artistic ambition and mental wellbeing. Both performers share the strange paradox of their chosen path—the constant questioning, the difficulty of defining success, and the crucial importance of remembering your "why." For Maria, that purpose has evolved from simply wanting to perform full-time to creating art that makes others feel seen and less alone. Most powerfully, they discuss how practices like gratitude lists, meditation, and yoga serve as anchors during life transitions. Maria shares how becoming more selective with her energy has led to healthier relationships, while still battling the tendency to isolate when things get tough. The episode concludes with a beautiful meditation on finding joy in small things—like snowfall—and the power of staying present even when feeling raw. Whether you're navigating sobriety, considering a major life change, or simply trying to honor your creative purpose while paying the bills, this conversation offers both practical tools and emotional reassurance.

Send us a text Dom L'Amour speaks with Larry Rodriguez aka @larryrodgram about Expectations around the holidays, GNX, The State of Cinema and so much more! "Why are these girls twerking? Why do I see movies everywhere? Why is it constantly showing me stuff I show no interest in?" These aren't just random questions—they're part of a deeper reflection on how we consume digital content versus how carefully we once selected what went into our bodies. In this thought-provoking episode, Dom L’Amour and filmmaker Larry Rodriguez dive into the parallels between mindful eating and mindful scrolling, revealing how our digital diet might need the same scrutiny we once gave food labels. "I have to find a way to eliminate that helplessness that social media creates," Dom shares, sparking a conversation that will make you reconsider your own consumption habits. The conversation flows naturally through holiday expectations, exploring how traditions evolve as we age and form our own families. From the stress of meaningful gift-giving to the corporate-driven pressure of Christmas and New Year's, they dissect why these celebrations often leave us feeling drained rather than fulfilled. Larry offers a refreshing perspective: "Thanksgiving, I've found out the older I've gotten, is the better holiday, just because there's no pressure with it." When the discussion turns to Kendrick Lamar's GNX album, both men light up with appreciation for authentic artistry. Their analysis of the Kendrick vs. Drake beef transcends simple rap rivalry, becoming a meditation on cultural authenticity versus commercial success. "When you listen to Kendrick, you learn about the lifestyle of a person living in LA," Dom notes, highlighting how true art connects to lived experience. The episode concludes with a candid assessment of cinema's current state, where studio politics and financial motivations often override creative integrity. Yet despite these challenges, both remain hopeful about storytelling's power when creators focus on substance over spectacle. Ready to reevaluate your digital diet?

What happens when you mix the heart of Los Angeles with an exploration of emotions, food, and culture?

Join us on the Black Man Talking Emotions podcast as we navigate this intricate rivalry with our insightful guest, Jon Butts. We'll revisit the explosive moment Kendrick's "control" verse shook the hip-hop world and dissect how the tension between these two titans illuminates the fine line between pure artistry and commercial success. While unpacking their professional dynamics, we also weigh in on public perceptions of other influential figures like Young Thug and Sexy Red, offering fresh insights into the ever-evolving hip-hop landscape. In our heartfelt exploration of Kendrick Lamar's discography, we celebrate the monumental impact of albums like "To Pimp a Butterfly" and "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City," sharing personal reflections on their storytelling prowess. The conversation takes a critical turn as we scrutinize Drake's reliance on ghostwriters, particularly in "Take Care," and question how this practice measures up against the self-written standards set by hip-hop legends like LL Cool J and Rakim. With comparisons to Kanye West's "Graduation," we ponder the balance between mainstream appeal and thematic depth in contemporary hip-hop. Bringing warmth and personal touch, we shift to notable moments within the hip-hop community, examining Drake's relationship with Lil Wayne and the broader cultural impact of events like Kendrick's Super Bowl performance.

Send us a text Ever wondered why it's crucial to educate yourself before heading to the polls? In this heartfelt finale of the season, I, Dom L'Amour, share my journey of political self-discovery and the imperative of personal research when choosing leaders like Kamala Harris. Initially poised to break down my reasons for supporting her, I instead realized the futility of convincing those unwilling to research themselves. Instead, I am channeling my energy into real-world activism by volunteering for the Democratic Party in Georgia. Let’s explore why informed voting matters and how small actions can catalyze significant political change. Additionally, this episode serves as a warm thank you to everyone who has supported The Black Man Talking Emotions Podcast throughout the year.
