MrBeast reveals 15-hour filming schedule, Bryan Johnson counters with health advice: ‘Properly nourish yourself…'
YouTube sensation Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, recently opened up about his intense working hours. In a post on X, he revealed that he has been working around the clock and often sacrifices sleep to produce videos.
'I'm probably averaging 15 hours a day of filming this month and getting less sleep than I ever have in my life (I didn't even get to go to bed last night), but my god, these videos are the greatest content I've ever filmed,' MrBeast wrote on X.
The post quickly went viral, racking up over four million views. While many fans hailed his passion for serving his subscribers the best content, others expressed concern about the impact on his well-being.
Bryan Johnson, the billionaire tech entrepreneur known as the 'age-reversal' CEO, reacted to the post with health advice.
'Jimmy, in time, you'll transition into making content battling the ideas of society. Be sure to properly nourish yourself now so that you're sufficiently vibrant and durable then,' Johnson wrote.

'Pure grind! People see success, not the hustle. You're a true inspiration, thanks for showing us what it really takes!' a fan wrote.
'Exhausted but fulfilled? That's the creator high,' another fan commented.

Sing and swing with siblings
Of course, transitioning from intimate jams to large audiences had its challenges. 'The only real challenge we faced was moving from a crowd of 50 to 500, and now we're looking at 2,000. As the numbers grow, that personal connection tends to fade a little. But we're putting in our 100 percent to make sure each session still feels personal. Another big challenge is to not fight on stage, that's very important. (laughs) Beyond that, this journey has been magical and inspiring. The love we've received is rare and heartwarming. That's what keeps us going. It feels like one big family, and that's exactly what we're trying to build here,' Raghav admits. They make it a point to keep their sessions substance-free. 'In all our sessions so far, we have always made sure there is no alcohol or food being served. Even at venues like antiSOCIAL, AirLive, Hard Rock Cafe and JW Marriott, alcohol was stopped because this is more of a movement, an initiative, a project rather than just a band playing while people have fun. We want people to realise how crucial music is for healing, how important it is to calm the mind especially in a world where we are glued to screens all the time. These are substance-free jamming sessions where people sit on the floor and just jam, this setting is called baithak,' expresses Raghav. Despite the fame, everything from video edits to social media responses is handled by the two of them. 'We do everything ourselves because that's the only way we feel truly connected to people through social media and our jam sessions. The four mediums we use are Instagram, YouTube, our WhatsApp community and our website. Even with hundreds of DMs pending, we personally respond to each of them. Every video and edit is made by us. It's difficult managing shows and content, but we still do it because the personal touch matters. We've never used paid marketing, it's all organic. We're not here to impose anything. If people feel connected, they'll come. That's what jamming means to us,' says Prachi. Their lives outside music are just as full: Raghav is a CFA holder and Prachi, an fix income trader. 'This is just a passion project for us,' Raghav laughs adding, 'I hope this paper doesn't reach her manager.' They juggle shows around weekends and sick days, and still show up with everything they've got. Looking ahead, they're planning an India tour, international shows in Dubai, Singapore and Malaysia, and a dream of a mega jamming session with over 2,000 people. But through it all, their parents have remained their biggest cheerleaders. 'They've been to every show and still listen like it's the first time,' smiles Prachi. Ask them their favourite songs and the answers come easily. 'Lag Ja Gale,' says Raghav. 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain,' adds Prachi. Just like their music, their bond is simple, honest and deeply felt, no stage, no pretense, just rhythm, love and a lot of heart.

Rhythm Over Rules with Akash Kamble
Throughout the centuries, belly dancing has evolved from a classical art form into a global stage phenomenon. From its humble origins, it has been embraced and adapted into diverse dance traditions worldwide, including India. Since the early 2000s, belly dancing has gained traction in the country, thanks to Bollywood numbers, fusion styles, and the efforts of passionate performers like 22-year-old Akash Kamble, who is helping bring this art form to Hyderabad. Born and raised in the city, Akash's love for dance began early. He grew up watching Bollywood songs and learning choreography from YouTube. But his father, a blackbelt boxer, disapproved. 'He wanted me to take up sports like him,' Akash recalls, adding, 'He'd say, 'I'll teach you boxing so you don't have to dance,' but I wasn't interested. I even joined a government hostel in 5th grade just to avoid his pestering.' It was in 6th grade that Akash first encountered classical dance during a school cultural event. 'I was mesmerised by a senior's performance. I asked her how she learned to dance like that, and she told me she was learning Kathak,' he shares. Intrigued, Akash turned to YouTube, learning Kathak basics through 'Dance with Madhuri' tutorials. But leaving home didn't end his challenges. While some teachers — Lakshmi, Ramya, and Padmadevi — supported him, many classmates and faculty members mocked his passion for dance. Things changed in 2017 when a new principal, Parmeshwari ma'am, joined the school. 'After our welcome dance for her, she told me she wanted to see me perform more. I asked her where she'd been all this time — she truly felt like a blessing,' Akash says.

Skip Bayless slams Tom Brady as a 'sellout' and questions his loyalty to the NFL legacy
Tom Brady and LeBron James' friendship sparks Skip Bayless meltdown on live TV (Getty Images) Skip Bayless is no stranger to stirring controversy, but his latest meltdown might have topped them all. The 73-year-old sports commentator went nuclear after witnessing Tom Brady — a longtime idol of his — publicly praise LeBron James during a live taping of The Shop at Fanatics Fest in New York City. What was meant to be a feel-good moment between two sporting legends quickly turned into Bayless' personal nightmare. Skip Bayless melts down over Tom Brady's praise for LeBron James The exchange that triggered the tirade? Brady called LeBron 'the greatest ever,' adding that the NBA star was a shining example of consistency and class. That was enough to send Bayless into full-blown attack mode. 'Tell me I'm wrong,' Bayless fumed. 'LeBron James just can't help himself... he can't hide that runaway insecurity. Deep down, he knows he'll never be seen as the greatest basketball player ever — at least not by people who actually know the game.' LeBron James Just Can't Help Himself But Bayless wasn't done. He turned his attention toward Brady, and this time, there was no mercy. 'What a sellout Tom Brady has become post-football,' he snapped. 'On the field, greatest clutch competitor ever. Off the field? He's saying and doing whatever it takes to polish his good guy image. He's kissing up to LeBron on stage like he's trying to land a Netflix buddy comedy deal.' The scathing criticism didn't stop there. Bayless suggested that Brady's flattery wasn't heartfelt — it was calculated. 'Tom knows how many billions of followers LeBron has. He knows what a financial alliance with the King could mean. So there he is, saying, 'You're witnessing the greatest ever,' like he's auditioning for a lifetime supply of Nike stock options.' For longtime followers of Bayless, his disdain for LeBron James is nothing new. He's been vocal for years about his belief that Michael Jordan will always hold the title of the GOAT. But the shocker here wasn't just another anti-LeBron rant — it was the brutal takedown of Brady, a player Bayless has supported relentlessly for nearly two decades. To see his football idol publicly support the NBA star he has spent years dismantling clearly hit a nerve. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Bayless emphasized, 'LeBron James just can't help himself. He just can't hide his runaway insecurity… and yeah, I know that over the weekend Tom Brady called LeBron James the greatest ever… What a sellout Tom Brady has become post-football.' Perhaps this moment is less about Brady or LeBron, and more about Bayless struggling with his heroes evolving in ways he can't control. At the end of the day, two sports icons shared mutual respect — but all Skip saw was betrayal. And maybe what Skip Bayless really needs now isn't another argument — just a break from The Shop.
