When we think of Lou Gehrig, we usually think about one of two things: his tragic early death or his record breaking consecutive games played streak, which began this week 100 years ago. This week, we celebrate the happier of those two aspects of his life and career, looking back at the 2,130 games that made up Gehrig's incredible accomplishment. Through it, you get a sense of just how determined, exceptional, and lucky Laruppin' Lou was until the moment his luck and body gave out. Plus, happy birthday to Terry Kennedy and Johnny Mostil! And farewell to Billy Smith, Tony Blanco, Octavio Dotel and Nate Oliver.

The 1983 Stanley Cup Final brought together two teams at very different points in their respective arcs. The New York Islanders were attempting to secure a fourth straight championship, having established themselves as the dominant team of the early '80s with a methodical, disciplined style of play. The Edmonton Oilers, in just their fourth NHL season, were driven by an explosive offense led by Wayne Gretzky, who had just posted an NHL-record 196 points in the regular season. Game 2, played on May 12 in Edmonton, reflected the broader clash between experience and firepower. While the Oilers generated pressure with their high-tempo attack, the Islanders relied on structured defensive play and opportunistic scoring, bolstered by Billy Smith's goaltending and physical tone-setting.This game continued the narrative that had formed during the playoffs — Edmonton sweeping past Winnipeg and Calgary before ousting Chicago, while the Islanders ground through Washington, the Rangers, and Boston. In this second game of the Finals, the Islanders showed why they remained a difficult opponent to crack, frustrating the Oilers' young core with consistent forechecking and timely counterattacks. The Oilers, despite their talent, struggled to convert opportunities against a veteran team that didn't stray from its postseason formula.#WayneGretzky #BillySmith #NewYorkIslanders #EdmontonOilers #StanleyCup1983 #MikeBossy #NHLPlayoffs

Send us a textEpisode 171Anna Nicole Smith was born Vickie Lynn Hogan on November 28, 1967, in Mexia, Texas—a small, working-class town where dreams often seemed just out of reach. Raised by her mother, Virgie Mae Tabers, a local sheriff's deputy, Vickie's early life was shaped by a mix of discipline and hardship. Her father, Donald Hogan, left the family early, leaving her mother to raise her largely on her own.As a child, Vickie was energetic and spirited, a bright light in an otherwise quiet and challenging upbringing. She spent much of her time playing with cousins and dreaming of something bigger than the dusty streets of Mexia. In school, Vickie was known for her charm and beauty, but she struggled academically and eventually dropped out of high school.In her teenage years, she took a job at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken, where she met her first husband, Billy Smith. The two married when she was just 17, and shortly after, she gave birth to her son, Daniel, in 1986. However, the marriage didn't last. Determined to provide for her son, Vickie packed her bags and set her sights on a future far beyond Mexia.Her journey to fame began humbly as she worked in various jobs, including a stint as a waitress and later as an exotic dancer. It was during this time that she adopted the name "Anna Nicole" and caught the attention of photographers. Her striking looks—a blend of Marilyn Monroe's classic glamour and a Texas girl-next-door allure—landed her a gig with Playboy magazine.In 1993, Anna Nicole was named Playboy's Playmate of the Year, catapulting her to fame. Modeling contracts followed, most notably with Guess Jeans, where her bombshell image was splashed across billboards worldwide. She became a pop culture icon almost overnight, embodying a modern-day Marilyn Monroe, though the comparisons came with heavy expectations and scrutiny.Anna Nicole's personal life was as dramatic as her public persona. In 1994, she married J. Howard Marshall II, a billionaire oil tycoon 63 years her senior. The marriage was met with widespread controversy, with many questioning her motives. Despite the criticism, Anna Nicole maintained that the two had shared a deep bond. Marshall passed away just over a year later, sparking a years-long legal battle over his fortune.In the early 2000s, Anna Nicole's fame took a different turn with the launch of her reality TV show, The Anna Nicole Show. The show gave fans a front-row seat to her eccentric life, mixing humor and heartbreak. Yet behind the glitz and the cameras, Anna Nicole struggled with substance abuse and the pressures of fame.Tragedy struck in 2006 when her son Daniel died of a drug overdose just days after she gave birth to her daughter, Dannielynn. Less than a year later, on February 8, 2007, Anna Nicole herself was found dead in a Florida hotel room from an accidental drug overdose. She was just 39.Anna Nicole Smith's life was a rollercoaster of triumphs and tragedies, a rags-to-riches story that captivated the world. Even in death, her name remains synonymous with glamour, scandal, and the relentless pursuit of the American dream.Music:Blondie ~ Picture ThisINXS ~ Suicide BlondSupport the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.comArtwork @digitalnomadicart on Insta

Christopher Sheffield is a filmmaker who's been in the film industry for 13 or so years, a decade in LA and three in Arizona. As soon as he graduated film school, he hit the ground running as making commercials for a trucking company. But the dream began when he was a kid and received two video recorders, one that could record and one that could actually play the tape. He made shorts with his friends until he realized film school was an option. Christopher or Sheff, saved a lot of his money from making commercials and used that to make his first feature at the end of that year, called Run For Your Life. Sheff has a Youtube channel where he has shorts that he started back in film school called Split Lip. And inspired the name of his first action film called Split Lip. He talks about how a feature fell through and he made a short instead called Welcome To The Sting. It was choreographed and co-produced by Billy Smith. A lead actor, James M. Black pulled a hamstring but the entire cast rallied and made it happen. This great short could one day become a series! Sheff talks about navigating the pandemic and the strike and having to pivot and regroup. Much of his work is examining mental illness and the struggle. Making it tangible and his upcoming film Eigengrau puts faces to mental illness by making them real life monsters. It's an idea that lingered since he was a child and the concept grew as he approached his film career and his first stab at it was his first project, Run For Your Life. But as the concept evolved and coalesced, it's culminated in his feature to come, Eisengrau. Which is a German word that means the color of darkness behind your closed eyes. Sheff explains the concept and story behind the film and it's an exciting story! There are plenty of projects in the works! Keep an eye out for Christopher Sheffield!

Attention: This episode immediately follows the Billy Smith/Roland Melanson Jennings Trophy episode posted last week. If you have not yet, please stop this episode and listen to that one. For much of the 1982-83 regular season, the Islanders did not look like three-time defending Stanley Cup champions, let alone a team that could win the Cup again. They were old and occasionally leaky, and sometimes they seemed downright disinterested. But once the playoffs started, the “real” Islanders showed up again, led by the man they called “The Money Goalie.” Billy Smith didn't take losing lightly. And he didn't like being the weak link or the feeling of letting his friends down. After a series against a pesky playoff-debuting Washington team that required the aid of creasemate Roland Melanson to win, Smith became a man on a mission. He battled and scrambled and pushed and parried his way through series victories against the Rangers and Bruins before eventually dismantling the cocky, high-flying Edmonton Oilers and angering all of Canada in the process. No matter what the Oilers did on the ice or what their coach/GM said or what the media printed, Smith gave it back in spades, refusing to concede even an inch. When the Cup final was over, and Smith was rightfully awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, he continued to vocally lay waste to the people that had made him Public Enemy No. 1 in his home country. Perhaps more than anyone, Smith felt the condescension or dismissiveness people had for the Islanders despite their success. And he was determined to make them pay for their insolence. Hooo, boy. This is a fun one. We also touch on the Islanders' other three Conn Smythe winners and a few that missed out despite some outstanding postseason performances. Guess that's the price you pay for playing on one of the greatest teams ever assembled. Research and other assistance was provided by Kevin Schultz.

Before 1982, the Vezina Trophy was a team award, going to the NHL goaltending tandem that gave up the least goals against during the season. When the criteria was changed to voting by the league's general managers, the first winner was 31-year-old Billy Smith, who finally reached the pinnacle of his career after a decade in the league. A year later, Smith and his creasemate, 22-year-old Rollie “The Goalie” Melanson, turned in a masterful duet, consistently bailing the three-time champs out of trouble during a tumultuous season to take home the Islanders' first Jennings Trophy. Regardless of who was hot and who was cold, Smith and Melanson each gave the Islanders a goalie they could rely on. While the defending Stanley Cup champs battled fatigue, injuries, complacency, and challenges from all comers, the two goalies emerged as the team's true strength. And when it became clear they had a shot to reward their goalies with the Jennings late in the season, the trophy gave their teammates the motivation they needed to finish strong and defend the Cup again. Despite their age difference, Smith and Melanson shared similar qualities of a fiery combativeness and a bitter hatred of losing (not to mention each being a good quote). They supported and celebrated each other as the season went on, knowing everyone was counting on them. But when it got to playoff time, one of them took the puck and ran with it... which we'll cover in the follow-up episode next week. Research and other assistance was provided by Kevin Schultz.

Former New York Islanders goalie Thomas Greiss announced his retirement from the NHL on Wednesday. We discuss Greiss' legacy from his five seasons with the Isles. He had some real clutch moments in the playoffs and won a Jennings Trophy with the team, the first time the Isles won it since Billy Smith and Roland Melanson did in 1983. We also discuss Josh Bailey's potential path back to the Isles, but not as a player. Would Bailey be willing to be an assistant coach either with the big club or the Bridgeport Islanders to help the power play? Plus we further discuss the coaching vacancy in Bridgeport and tell who is likely to get the job and why. All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Have you ever even thought to be concerned about liniment causing your horse to fail a drug test? Get ready for an eye-opening episode of the On the Rail podcast as we delve into the intricacies of equine drug medication usage rules.  In this episode of the On the Rail podcast, we interviewed three guests from the industry: Ward Stutz, AQHA Director of Breed Integrity, Animal Welfare & Education; Dr. Billy Smith, Executive Director of APHA; and Dr. Stephen Schumacher, Chief Administrator of USEF's Equine Drugs and Medications Program.   The guests discussed the importance of equine drug medication usage rules for horse welfare and sport integrity. They shared insights into the drug testing procedures of AQHA, APHA, and USEF, as well as the responsibilities and disciplinary processes associated with failed tests.   The conversation also covered commonly used substances in the equine industry and strategies to ensure that supplements and seemingly innocent products don't result in failed tests.   Additionally, we explored the collection and analysis of samples, including the selection process for testing horses and the consequences of detecting prohibited substances.   Overall, this episode provided valuable information about equine drug medication usage rules and shed light on the challenges faced by those involved in their enforcement. Be sure to follow and share the podcast with your fellow equine enthusiasts.
