A recent episode of Jeff Teague’s Club 520 podcast is facing major heat after co-host Bishop B. Henn made a comment about NBA icon Magic Johnson that many called disrespectful and tone-deaf.“He survived HIV and his son…” Henn said during a conversation about Johnson’s resilience, intending to praise the Hall of Famer for overcoming adversity. But the phrasing immediately drew backlash online, with fans accusing Henn of homophobia and mocking Magic’s openly gay son, EJ Johnson.The full quote attempted to highlight how much Johnson endured, including his diagnosis, public scrutiny, and personal challenges, but many listeners weren’t buying it. Social media lit up with criticism, slamming the podcast for what some called an ignorant and offensive remark.Magic Johnson stunned the world in 1991 when he announced he had HIV, stepping away from the NBA at the height of his career. His public battle against the disease helped shift public perception, raised awareness, and shattered stigma around HIV and AIDS. He became a trailblazer—not just in basketball, but in activism and business.But Henn’s suggestion that Johnson somehow “survived” having a gay son struck a nerve. Even though EJ wasn’t named, the implication didn’t sit well with many. Fans quickly called out the comment as out of line, with some demanding an apology from the Club 520 team.Neither Teague nor Henn addressed the remark during the episode. As of now, no statement has been made by the podcast. This isn’t the first time Club 520 has stirred controversy with its hot takes, but this moment may have gone too far for many listeners.Through it all, Magic Johnson himself hasn’t responded, and probably won’t. He’s spent his life leading with class, whether breaking barriers in sports, business, or as a proud father supporting his son.This firestorm is a reminder that words matter, especially when you’re talking about someone who changed the game on and off the court.

Among many other superlatives, the United States claims the most expensive healthcare system in the country. Though the whole country is lumped together in that honor, the reality is that healthcare quality and access can vary greatly depending on where in the country you are. A new study conducted by Forbes attempts to break down the intricacies of healthcare in all 50 states by examining 24 metrics across four key categories: healthcare access, healthcare outcomes, healthcare cost, and quality of hospital care. Georgia takes the title of the worst state for healthcare in the country. Interestingly enough, seven of the top 10 worst states for healthcare are in the South: Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas. North Carolina ranks as the worst state for healthcare costs, Utahns struggle the hardest in getting healthcare access, New Mexico has the worst quality of hospital care in the country, and Mississippi is the worst state for positive healthcare outcomes.As for the best state in the country for healthcare, that honor goes to Minnesota. It’s an outlier in the region, as even of the 10 best states for healthcare are in the northeast: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Pennsylvania. If you find yourself in one of the 10 worst states in the country for healthcare, try to find a doctor and a hospital that can best serve you in times of need. GeorgiaAlabamaNorth CarolinaMississippiSouth CarolinaArkansasNew MexicoTexasNevadaIndianaAll of the 10 best states for healthcare lie north of the Mason-Dixon line. If you’re looking for quality care or other important factors, you might want to consider one of these states. MinnesotaMassachusettsRhode IslandConnecticutVermontNew HampshireMichiganOregonMainePennsylvania More

She’s combatting her disease with exercise.Cleveland Clinic anesthesiologist Sara Whittingham has faced many challenges in her life, from graduating the Air Force Academy to becoming a physician to training as an endurance athlete. But her latest challenge might be her most difficult yet.After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2020, Whittingham began participating in a study that determined how strenuous exercise can (along with medication) help slow the development of her disease. This weekend, she completed the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawaii, her first triathlon since being diagnosed.“I was pleased because I felt like a real runner again,” Sara recalls. “With medication and exercise, I wasn’t feeling as stiff. I was feeling better overall.” More

The ‘Thor’ star is “making time for stillness.”Chris Hemsworth has revealed he made some significant lifestyle changes after discovering he was at high risk of contracting Alzheimer’s on an episode of the National Geographic and Disney+ documentary series Limitless.“I’ve always been pretty consistent with my exercise commitments, but lately I’ve really felt the importance of taking time for yourself without any outside voice or stimulation and making time for stillness,” the Marvel star told Men’s Health earlier this week.The changes have been all-encompassing, as Hemsworth announced earlier this year that the disease risk has led to him accepting fewer acting roles so he can spend more time with his family. It also dramatically altered the fitness routines with which Hemsworth is synonymous.“My weight fluctuates a lot due to differing roles and also my own interests in regards to challenging my body in different ways,” he told the outlet. “I’m lifting less frequently than I was and I’m incorporating more cardio and endurance workouts which I much prefer than heavy body-building style sessions.”On his episode of Limitless, Hemsworth expressed shock at the revelation that he has two copies of the APOE e4 gene, one from each parent. The gene makes people “eight to 10 times more likely” to contract Alzheimer’s at some point in their lives.Dr. Peter Attia, who specializes in longevity and is the consulting medical professional on Limitless, was careful to clarify the presence of APOE e4 genes wasn’t a diagnosis. One can have the gene and not develop Alzheimer’s, just as one might not have the gene but still contract the disease.For Hemsworth, the information came as a wake-up call. “It made me think about my kids and how they’re growing up and things are changing so dramatically, and I want to sit, I want to soak it in,” he told Attia on the latter’s Drive podcast. “I don’t want to be in a sprint anymore. I want to be right here and appreciate everything that’s in front of me.”Declan Gallagher is a Breaking/Trending News Writer at Men’s Journal.:not(.m-detail-header–title),

You can work brisk exercise into your everyday routine.It turns out that running to catch a train or bus could have long-term benefits for your health. A new study published in JAMA Oncology found a surprising link between short bursts of intense exercise and the risk of developing cancer.  Researchers examined activity tracker data from more than 22,000 men and women to draw the connection. They found that people who moved fast for at least 3 minutes a day were approximately 30 percent less likely to die of many types of cancer, compared to those who almost always leisurely strolled from point A to point B—regardless of whether or not they exercised otherwise. The team refers to these acts of rushing up the stairs or running to catch a train as Vigorous Intermittent Lifestyle Physical Activity, or “VILPA.”Led by Emmanuel Stamatakis, a professor of physical activity, lifestyle and population health at the University of Sydney in Australia, the group gathered the activity tracker records for middle-aged and older people who said they never exercised. They then used AI to analyze the data and learn when the subjects experienced VILPA in their daily lives. After examining medical records for cancer diagnoses in the subsequent seven years, they were able to determine that VILPA had a correlation to a reduced risk of cancer. As it turns out, just a few seconds of VILPA a day can have a big impact. “The minimum needed to see some risk reduction was well under one minute a day,” Stamatakis told The Washington Post. The research should come as welcome news to the majority of adults who don’t work out. “Our study’s findings are especially pertinent to people who are not keen on leisure-time exercise, which is the majority of the adult population,” Stamatakis continued. “For them, our study suggests that doing a few short bursts of intense exercise as the day goes by may be beneficial.” “The take-home message is that moving more at a higher intensity during everyday living may be a good alternative to structured exercise, and may reduce cancer risk in the long term,” he added. Perhaps being perpetually late and in a rush is actually a good thing.Chris Malone Méndez is a Breaking/Trending News Writer at Men’s Journal.:not(.m-detail-header–title),
