On the surface, the modeling industry in the 80s was about parties and pretty clothes, but underneath the flash, there were drugs, sex, and violence. And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil. After a chance encounter with an alleged mobster, Paul suddenly found himself with a million dollars in funding and the chance to start a modeling agency in New York City. The city was then embroiled in a "model war" between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul. EPISODES AVAILABLE HERE:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-model-wars-291069458/episode/introducing-model-wars-291069459/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

A unique and unparalleled look into the nature and relationship of two of the pillars of the NFL's greatest dynasty, the 2001-2018 New England PatriotsThere can be doubt, the greatest dynasty in NFL history stood on two pillars: Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. That is indisputable. Together they forged a working relationship that provided thrilling results that would change the game forever and provide a two-decade-long winning culture not likely to ever be repeated. In those twenty years they helped New England to nine Super Bowls, winning six. But who is/was most responsible? The greatest coach/GM in NFL history? The greatest quarterback (perhaps, greatest player regardless of position) in NFL history? New York Times bestselling author Gary Myers takes the deepest dive yet into a debate that rages to this day in his new book, BRADY vs. BELICHICK: The Dynasty Debate (St. Martin's Press, On Sale September 16, 2025, $31.00).What was the nature of their amazing relationship? Mentor and mentee? Superstar and mad scientist? Phenom and master tactician? Or were they equals? In this fascinating book, veteran NFL insider Gary Myers will draw on the incredible access he has to both subjects as well as scores of players, coaches and management officials. Myers has new interviews with Belichick, Devon McCourty, Rodney Harrison, Julian Edelman, Joe Montana, Tom Brady Sr., and scores more. There is also new material from coaching greats Bill Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, Tony Dungy, and former Pats assistant coaches Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel, and executives like Ernie Accorsi and Bill Polian.One of the more revealing and compelling chapters in the book is about New York Jets linebacker Mo Lewis, whose sideline hit on then star New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe in 2001 elevated Tom Brady to starting quarterback.and the rest is history. To this day, many fans and haters of New England's success blame Lewis' hit on starting the Patriots dynasty, and Lewis, in the book, doesn't hide his bitter feelings about being tagged with that.In BRADY vs. BELICHICK, Myers goes well into the numbers, analyzing the psychology and sociology of this partnership using his unique perspective to illuminate the greatest duo that ever graced the sport. And who is the most responsible? There is a surprise ending as the reader will discover.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

The newest installment of ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 series is the three-part documentary Berlusconi: Condemned to Win, which tells the story of Silvio Berlusconi, one of the most significant and controversial figures in Italian history over the last three decades.Serving as Italy's prime minister over three different stints, Berlusconi first rose to prominence as a business and media tycoon who owned one of the country's most storied football clubs, A.C. Milan. As he turned the team into arguably the world's most successful club, he used its victories to fuel his own popularity — ultimately propelling him to the highest political office in the land. Yet as the film reveals, Berlusconi's ascent raised troubling questions about how sport can mask corruption and provide a pathway to power with consequences far beyond the game.Berlusconi: Condemned to Win was directed by documentary filmmaker Sam Blair (Maradona ‘86, Make Us Dream, Ronnie O'Sullivan: The Edge of Everything). A graduate of the UK's National Film and Television School, Blair made his debut with the feature, Personal Best, and later directed Maradona '86, an ESPN 30 for 30, about Diego Maradona's legendary performance at the 1986 World Cup. Sam also directed the feature documentary Keep Quiet which premiered in the International Competition at the Tribeca Film Festival as well as the first episode of Captive, a Netflix original documentary series, executive produced by Simon Chinn and Doug Liman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Their journeys span fields as diverse as healthcare, government,education, business, and nonprofit leadership, and together they reveal a collective impact that isreshaping communities across northern Tanzania.“Imagine a girl from this remote village going to school,” says Neema MelamiLaitayock, a 2004 graduate. “The Maasai Girls Secondary School changedmy life, and my family's life too. That school is giving girls an opportunity tounderstand themselves, to gain confidence, and to have careers.”Lessons in Hope shines a light on the resilience of young women facing systemic barriers like early,forced marriages, gender-based violence, and poverty—and on their determination to lead, giveback, and uplift others.

Drawing on her own immigrant experience, Fazzi takes readers on an action-packed ride full of wit and grit in her thrilling two-book release, SUNDAY OR THE HIGHWAY and DANGER NO PROBLEM (Thomas & Mercer, ISBN-13: ‎9781662528552 / 9781662528538). Whether it's traffickers, fugitives, or murderers, main character Domingo loves nothing more than putting the bad guys away. But this brash, immigrant-turned-bounty hunter also has a paradoxical side hustle: writing a book of advice for people immigrating to the US. In Danger No Problem: Domingo's latest job is to track down Monica Reed. Again. In all his years as a bounty hunter, Monica is the only target who's ever given him the slip—and the only one he's ever let go. As Domingo works to flush out Monica for the third time, he uncovers more layers to her story. Dark secrets, hidden sacrifices, and shocking discoveries point to a dangerous truth she'll risk her life to expose. Now Domingo must decide which side he's actually on. Previously published as Multo, this edition of Danger No Problem includes editorial revision. In Sunday or the Highway, the exciting second installment - Domingo finds that playing matchmaker for an heiress proves a lot more deadly than Cupid's arrow. A seemingly easy case involving a lovestruck young heiress turns out to be anything but. Tessa Woodridge, the CEO of a fast-food chain, hires Domingo to locate the undocumented parents of Julian Alondra, the love of her life. When Tessa was eight, fourteen-year-old Julian saved her life. She always believed they were destined to be together. Compared to Domingo's other cases, this should be a cakewalk. But he soon discovers it's not all heart eyes and sweet nothings between these two. In his line of work, you learn to prepare for everything you never saw coming—and Domingo can see it from a mile away. About the author: CINDY FAZZI is a Filipino American writer and former Associated Press reporter. DANGER NO PROBLEM (Book 1), previously titled MULTO, was a finalist in the Best Literary category of the 2024 Silver Falchion Award. Her historical novel, MY MACARTHUR, was published by Sand Hill Review Press in 2018. She has worked as a journalist in the Philippines, Taiwan, and the United States.

At the age of fifty-nine, Anne has never been to a concert. Then, she reluctantly goes to a Bruce Springsteen concert—a man she knows nothing about—to spend time with her son and daughter-in-law. For three-plus hours, Bruce Springsteen's energy, humanity, and enthusiasm lift her out of her lifelong depression and makes her feel alive.A year later, due to increasing classroom violence where she taught, Anne walks out the door thinking, I'm never coming back. But, getting into her car to go home, she realizes that because she suffers with severe recurrent depression, without the structure and focus of teaching she will be at risk for falling into a deep depression. She's been inpatient twice at a psychiatric hospital, had three regimens of electroconvulsive shock therapy, and tried over twenty medications. Anne needs a new and different plan. Then she remembers: in four months Bruce Springsteen will be touring in Australia. So even though Anne hates to travel and be alone, she books the trip -- eight concerts, five cities, twenty-six days. She hopes that harnessing some of Bruce Springsteen's energy will keep her out of the abyss. Anne doesn't go on this trip to change. But much to her surprise, she returns home a different person.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

For the second consecutive year, a majority of students report that when they are most engaged in school, it is because their teachers made the coursework exciting and interesting. Yet, just half of middle school and high school students say their teachers seem excited about what they teach. Only 43 percent say the lessons are interesting, and 37 percent say coursework feels connected to the real world. When schoolwork is challenging and relevant, it helps students build lasting skills and confidence. The increase from 70 to 78 percent of students with a teacher who excites them about the future highlights the powerful role educators play in student engagement and outlook. These findings highlight a chance for schools, communities, and policymakers to respond. The Walton Family Foundation is committed to expanding access to engaging, relevant learning so that every young person, no matter their path, can thrive in school and in life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro examines the current state of America and Western civilization, and poses a question: will we be Lions, or will we be Scavengers?In a world split between noble Lions and destructive Scavengers, only the brave can lead the way. Acclaimed writer and conservative thought leader Ben Shapiro knows that at the heart of today's conflicts-political, economic, and cultural-there's a dangerous lie: that all people are equal in ability, and that all inequality stems from oppression and exploitation.With his signature clarity and sharp insight, Shapiro refutes that lie, emphasizing that in a free country, inequality is rooted in differences of talent and work ethic-not oppression-and that the best solution to lack of success lies in duty and virtue. Lions, like America's founding fathers, strive for the highest good, building systems that promote freedom, prosperity, and equality of opportunity. Meanwhile, Scavengers degrade these ideals, spreading resentment and entitlement that threaten to dismantle the foundations of Western civilization.In Lions and Scavengers, Shapiro invites you to take up the mantle of the Lion and defend the principles that shape the freedom of a fair, powerful society. With the stakes higher than ever, this book is a gripping exploration of the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine it. The triumph of the Lions is essential for America's continued success. It's a rallying cry for those who refuse to bow to the Scavengers' demands.

Evil is a choice to make another suffer. As long as human beings have walked, evil has been close by.Confronting Evil by Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer recounts the deeds of the worst people in history: Genghis Khan. The Roman Emperor Caligula. Henry VIII. The collective evil of the 19th century slave traders and the 20th century robber barons. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Putin. The Mexican drug cartels. Collectively, these warlords, tyrants, businessmen, and criminals are directly responsible for the death and misery of hundreds of millions of people.By telling what they did and why they did it, Confronting Evil explains the struggle between good and evil--a choice every person in the Judeo-Christian tradition is compelled to make. But many defer. We avoid the life decision. We look away. It's easier.Prepare yourself to read the consequences of that inaction. As John Stuart Mill said in his inaugural address to the University of St. Andrews in 1867: "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Why are men often so childish and immature, and so impossible to change? Drawing on 35+ years as a music business executive, interviews with 100 ordinary men (and women), and his life as a husband, ex-husband, and father to three sons, best-Selling author Tom Sturges attempts to make men less confounding and a lot easier to live with in his new book MEN EXPLAINEDF, FINALLYOver his 35 years in the music business, Tom Sturges has signed and/or collaborated with all different variations of the male "species," including Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Big Boi and André 3000 (Outkast), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), 50 Cent, and Jon Bon Jovi. As a husband, ex-husband, and father to three sons, he has also lived and survived many "typical man" experiences. Through countless hours of golfing, watching football, drinking beer, and hanging out with the guys, Tom has discovered a whole lot of man truths, which he reveals in his totally unscientific, often hilarious, and sometimes startlingly wise new book, MEN EXPLAINED, FINALLY (Centimilla Press; October 7, 2025; ISBN: ISBN 979-8-89976-012-9, Hardback; ISBN 979-8-89976-011-2, Paperback; 239 pages).With tongue-in-cheek humor and a caveman-like commitment to the unadulterated truth, Tom Sturges lets women in on why men, generally speaking, think and act as if they are forever fourteen. Tom believes that women may gain some insights that lead to better relationships with the men in their lives. And men? Well, they might just develop some self-awareness... and a beard, if they want one. LOL. "While some of the fellas may rebuke me for what I've revealed, I think that none of them will disagree with the basic premise or foundational promise of this work," Tom asserts. "I would bet many of them don't even know this stuff about themselves, even though they enjoy the privileges of it every day."Organized in three parts, MEN EXPLAINED, FINALLY presents 45 essays, plus a few brief thoughts, on various topics related to Men (Part I), Men Compared to Women (Part 2), and Men and Women Getting Together (Part 3). At the book's core are two simple facts: Men are much more like other men than they would probably like to admit, and as noted before, Men are fourteen, forever.While a lot of people (okay, women) find men to be childish, immature, and often unwilling to make the slightest effort to grow up, Tom argues that maybe that's one of men's superpowers. And when women recognize that men bluff and bluster, and cling to beliefs in fate, luck, heroism, and love at first sight, it makes men so much easier to understand, accept just as they are, and love.Curious? Here's a taste of what Tom Sturges reveals: Men aim to please. "We love pleasing. We are, by and large, givers," Tom attests. But there's a catch: "We have to be asked nicely. It's a must. A request cannot sound like an order or a demand. Or worse, like some command."Men love forever. Men never forget the perfect thrill of a first crush or early love affairs. Trying to re-ignite an old flame? That's pure idiocy. "When it comes to old loves, men much prefer their memories to their realities," Tom notes. "There is a reason we call it 'Glory Days.'"Men compartmentalize. Why are men so good at putting messy stuff into boxes? For men, compartmentalization is a defense mechanism-a system for coping with life's complications and disappointments. "So," Tom advises women, "if a man has gotten lost in one of his boxes, be patient. Let him find himself again, on his timeline, not yours."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

TV INSIDE-OUT is a feast for readers who thrive on backstage stories. It is a smorgasbord of showbiz flukes, flakes, feuds and felonies. A thirty-year industry veteran, television announcer and actor, Randy West, has broken the silence surrounding dozens of surprising-sometimes shocking- mostly-untold stories of celebrity dysfunction.This BearmanorMedia release exposes outrageous celebrity misbehavior, toxic dysfunctional relationships, senseless executive blunders and million dollar production foul-ups, while sparking a myriad of stunning revelations garnered from candid on-set conversations in Hollywood studios and soundstages.How and why a violently angry Jerry Lewis threatened Joan Rivers' life. How Johnny Carson's unyielding racism broke up his family. What happened the night Jay Leno was arrested by the LAPD on Hollywood Boulevard. The chart-topping pop-rock and roll act that suddenly had eight contracted appearances on CBS cancelled following a backstage argument. ―So many people in this industry go to extremes in the pursuit of success. Too often they jump the rails, Some who gain fame and amass wealth still find themselves unfulfilled. Their lives become joyless. They then come to the realization that success must be something more. It helps explain why the beloved captain of The Love Boat was ready to drive off a cliff along Mulholland Drive, and why Danny Thomas' co-star ran from her gig as his wife despite back-to-back Emmy nominations.West asserts that ―the ultimate 'a-ha moment' comes with the understanding that success is a destination most people haven't bothered to define. Few have mapped a route, and even fewer have the autonomy needed to steer their careers to that goal.‖ It's why Redd Foxx's top-rated reign as Fred Sanford ended in a fruitless search for respect and recognition through outrageous demands, and acting out with guns, drugs and sexual inappropriateness. Those who don't self-destruct along the way finally come to understand that the true joy, serenity and sense of mastery we all seek can be found more in the pursuit than in the destination. That observation is borne out in the stories of the private lives of some of Hollywood's favorite citizens-the respected pros who are loved by studio bean counters because viewers have welcomed them into living rooms year after year. Their lesser-told stories dramatically reveal triumphs and proud achievements that were realized amid the insufferable egotists, the gun-toting hotheads, the drinkers, druggers and the convicted felons they call friends.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
