In this 8-minute vlog, I talk about the sad demise of MTV’s music-related programming. It’s the end of an era and I have something to say about it. MTV has been a major staple for most Gen-Xers like myself growing up in the 80s

When working on podcast material, there’s the need of feel-good food. Tonight, it’s the beef brisket dinner meal and cream of chicken & rice soup. Found the right place: https://www.patioribs.com/

Thanks for the food, The Patio!!!

I made plenty of mistakes from the last unofficial podcast episode, so I’ve decided to do a quick edit on this and honed it on a specific part. I talked about the recent incident involving a career criminal causing harm on passenger Bethany Magee, 26, while she was riding the CTA subway home in Chicago. I provided my opinion on the matter. I had plenty to say!

Below is the official GoFundMe page for Bethany MaGee. She is a survivor currently receiving medical treatment. I have made a donation, and I hope you will consider doing the same ❤️‍🩹🎗️https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-bethany-magees-recovery

Ken has been switched from ‘regular’ to ‘recurring’ status. He’s got some things in life to take care of for the meantime and I want him to strictly focus on those. Whenever he’s ready to hop on board consistently, I’ll be more than happy to get him as a regular again. During this period, I also plan on getting others to fill in as co-hosts. I won’t leave Ken. I’m gonna maintain communication by checking up on him. He’s forever my friend.

Coming soon to the Twenty400 Block - Podcast:

BY Mark Rodriguez

January 25 2024 changed everything for me. I’ve always lived a fast, hard-working life — balancing long days as a UPS driver with my passion as a fitness bodybuilder and running a business as a photographer. I pushed myself every day, chasing goals, capturing powerful moments, and staying on the move. I thought I was strong enough to handle anything.

But then, out of nowhere, I had a heart attack. In that moment, everything stopped. All the rushing, all the plans, all the noise, gone. I remember the fear, the uncertainty, and the weight of realizing how fragile life really is. Lying there, I wasn’t thinking about work or deadlines. I was thinking about my life, my health, and the people I love.

Recovery hasn’t been easy, but it’s been real. It’s taught me to slow down, to appreciate the little things I used to overlook, like breathing deeply, seeing the sunrise, or simply being here. I’ve learned that strength isn’t just about muscles or endurance. Real strength is surviving, healing, and choosing to keep going even when life knocks you down.

This experience didn’t break me, it woke me up.
