New TikTok Trend: The Boyfriend Effect

New TikTok Trend: The Boyfriend Effect

There’s a new trend on TikTok called The Boyfriend Effect, where people show images of themselves before they got into a relationship versus how they look now that they’re in a relationship.

Depending on who you talk to, “The Boyfriend Effect” can be interpreted as good or bad.

The Nassau Morning Madhouse discussed this on today’s show, and agreed that people do change after a relationship – usually by gaining weight!  OMG!

World Baseball Classic: Japan Wins It All

World Baseball Classic: Japan Wins It All

We have another thing to love Japan for.  Besides sushi, they also play baseball pretty darn well!

“I’ve seen Japan winning, and I just wanted to be part of it,” said Ohtani. “I really appreciate that I was able to have the great experience. As I say, the next generation, the kids who are playing baseball, I was hoping that those people would like to play baseball. That would make me happy.”  Quote from the World Baseball Classic’s official website.

Undefeated Japan topped reigning champ USA for its first title since winning back-to-back titles in 2006 and ’09. It’s the only team to clinch multiple championships and improved to 30-8 all-time in the WBC.

The WBC will return in 2026.

New Music Spotlight: Lizzy McAlpine – Ceilings

New Music Spotlight: Lizzy McAlpine – Ceilings

Lizzy McAlpine has officially broken the “Ceilings” with her new viral song. The 23 year old singer-songwriter has gotten a lot of attention lately on TikTok after many different videos were made using the sped up version of “Ceilings”, which was originally released last year in April. Actress Victoria Justice even got in on the trend and made her own “Ceilings” TikTok of her running down the street with an umbrella as the sped up version plays.

According to a Billboard interview, McAlpine has had plenty of practice, beginning to write songs on piano at age 12 and picking up the guitar a year or two later. She attended Berklee College of Music for two years — “a huge growing period for me as an artist and also as a human,” she says — before dropping out to pursue her career.

Check out the music video for “Ceilings” which can be heard on The Nassau Mix weekdays on WHPC!
