TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout The Business of Fitness Both Ben and Vinnie were in the fitness business before it became mainstream. (4:00) They exchange stories from the early days of their careers; much of it was based on hard work and lucky timing. Both are in the business of helping people get strong and healthy. The carrot the client is looking for: losing weight, being lean, and being strong, so focus on that. Also, the "healthy" trend in the 1980s was high-carb, low-fat dietary rules. (22:00) Many doctors are tired of "sick care" and are now offering concierge services to help people get truly healthy again. (35:00) Both Vinnie and Ben have been approached by doctors who want to know more details about their fitness business. If you are aiming to be in the fitness business, know what you're doing with good, solid evidence. (47:00) Just start with a small idea and look for opportunities. The plan shouldn't be to get rich; the plan should be to help people. Be willing to work hard, do good, fair, and honest work. Don't wait for opportunity, create it.

    GRETAGRAM book club: Julia Langbein on 'Dear Monica Lewinsky'

    It's the first Friday of the month, which means it's time for a new book to read! This month's selection is Julia Langbein's phenomenal novel Dear Monica Lewinsky, and Julia is today's guest on the show.The book is about Jean, whose life was derailed the summer after her sophomore year in college. When she travels to France to study medieval religious history, she meets a charismatic professor and decides to pursue an affair with him. The repercussions of that choice echo through her life, and she's still haunted as an adult. When she realizes her summer abroad was the same summer the Monica Lewinsky story broke in the United States, Jean prays to Monica, asking for forgiveness. That's when a vision of Monica Lewinsky appears to Jean, and she's able to relive her summer in France. When Tom Perrotta blurbed Julia's first novel American Mermaid, he said, “It probably shouldn't work, but it succeeds brilliantly, thanks to Julia Langbein's tonal control and wicked sense of humor,” and the same can be said for Dear Monica Lewinsky. This book may be hard to describe, but it's a joy to read, and it's also a searing examination of female desire and the prices we pay to pursue it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hosts Sanjana Basker and Tyler McCall open with a conversation about publishing cadence in romance: Why readers want to be fed constantly, what category publishing and self-pub have to do with it, and what it actually means when an author takes their time. Then Tia Williams joins to talk about her new novel, The Missed Connection, and writing New York City as a character: the specificity of neighborhoods, the weight of gentrification, and why a character's apartment is never just an apartment. Plus: Sanj and Tyler name their favorite NYC romance novels and ask for listener recs set in Chicago, L.A., etc., etc.! To share yours, leave a message at 833-831-LOVE.

So buckle up for a whole new take on Dorothy, the witches, and her most beloved companions. Oz is creepier and dark, Dorothy is an older and more powerful badass, the Scarecrow is tall, dark and handsome, the Tin Man is a mercenary with a bionic arm, and the Lion and Wizard… you'll just have to read to see. Stick around for our spoiler free reviews, spice ratings, deep dive summary (brought to you by Ashley this time!) and a lovely side tangent where Liz plays “the cups.” We apologize in advance for the chaos.

    This month in book club, Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I dive into How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin, a bestselling mystery that blends small-town intrigue, family secrets, and a decades-spanning murder investigation.The story begins in 1965 when teenage Frances Adams receives a chilling prediction from a fortune teller: one day she will be murdered. Determined to uncover the truth, Frances spends her life investigating both her foretold death and the mysterious disappearance of her friend Emily Sparrow. Decades later, Frances is found murdered, and her great-niece Annie Adams inherits not only her estate but also the responsibility of solving the crime.As Annie follows a trail of journals, hidden clues, and long-buried secrets, she uncovers shocking revelations about her family, the town of Castle Knoll, and the complicated relationships that have shaped generations. What begins as a classic whodunit evolves into a story about obsession, envy, fate, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about our lives.We discuss the novel's dual timelines, memorable cast of characters, red herrings, twists, and whether Frances' fate was truly written in the stars—or created by her own lifelong pursuit of the truth.We also share what we've been reading outside of book club lately.Upcoming Book Club Picks: Fight Club: A Novel - Chuck Palahniuk (June 2026) La Belle Sauvage (Book 1 of The Book of Dust) - Philip Pullman (July 2026) TBD (August 2026) Nervous Conditions - Tsitsi Dangarembga (September 2026) TBD (October 2026) Maus: A Survivor's Tale - Art Spiegelman (November 2026)

What I found on that trail was the discernment between fear that protects me and fear that quietly shrinks my life. My confidence didn't grow from theory or talk.

Margaret is avoidant, causing her father to worry a little and press her for more information. Margaret sees that her father is worried for his wife, and during that evening, he constantly brings the conversation around to his wife's health. After supper, he paces back and forth worrying for his wife and then goes to see her. When she wakes up, he goes to read the letters to her, the other one is from Mrs. Thornton, asking them to a dinner. Though Mrs. Hale is too ill to attend, she insists on her husband and daughter going. The following day, Mr. Hale and Margaret discuss this dinner a little more together before going about their days.At the Thornton residence, Mr. Thornton asks his mother which guests are going to be attending the dinner. Mr. Thornton tells his mother that he is very worried for Mrs. Thornton after what Dr. Donaldson told him. Fanny tries to jest with her brother about the Hale family but only ends up vexing him. Mrs. Thornton gives her opinion on the family which vexes John too, but he doesn't react to his mother's comments. Fanny then says that Margaret is not accomplished, “she does not play.” After all this, John tells his mother that he wishes she would like Margaret… His mother asks if he is thinking about marrying her, “a girl without a penny,” to which he replies that she would never have him even if he did want her. Mrs. Thornton then says that she has too high an opinion of herself to accept her son. He closes the conversation by saying that he believes that Margaret could soon be in need of motherly care. The conversation then turns to the strikes. Mr. Thornton's men have not yet struck and will work out their week; if they were to leave their posts beforehand, he would take them all to court for breech of contract. Mrs. Thornton suggests that he gets replacement workers from Ireland to spite his disrespectful workers. He says that the Americans are getting cheaper fabric into the market and thus need to pay everyone less to be able to compete, but the workers don't know this. Mrs. Thornton apologises for choosing to host a dinner while all of this is going on, which her son agrees with, but it had to be done. After everyone else goes to bed, Mr. Thornton stays awake thinking and pacing.SEO stuff I don't want to do. Elizabeth Gaskell's classic, "North and South" sees Margaret Hale's live uprooted as her family moves to the north of England. Initially disgusted by the ugliness of the industrial town of Milton, Margaret develops a strong sense of social justice after seeing the poverty and suffering of local mill workers.

    The Book Review
    Book Club: Let's Talk About 'Transcription,' by Ben Lerner

    The Book Review

    Play Episode Listen Later May 30, 2026 47:21


    Ben Lerner's slender new novel, “Transcription,” is just 130 pages long, yet it cracks open some of our most colossal and enduring philosophical questions. The novel is told in three parts. We open with an unnamed narrator going to interview his mentor, Thomas — an acclaimed artist in his 90s who also happens to be the father of one of the narrator's friends, Max — for a magazine. Before the interview, however, the narrator's phone breaks and he has no way to record their conversation. Rather than reschedule, he proceeds with the interview and only pretends to record Thomas as they talk. The second section flashes to the future. Thomas has died, and the article that our narrator wrote has become enshrined as the final interview with the iconic artist. At a symposium in Madrid, the narrator confesses that his interview was reconstructed rather than transcribed — a revelation that dismays the other guests and infuriates Max. Then we flash again. In the final section, the narrator talks to Max, who discusses his own complicated relationship with Thomas and technology, including how the internet and other digital tools impacted his family during several crises. Through these scenes, “Transcription” asks a series of questions: How does technology mediate our lives? How does it bring us together or pull us apart? Is there a difference between what's real and what's true? It also becomes a potent and poignant study of fatherhood and what it means. On this episode, MJ Franklin discusses “Transcription” with fellow Book Review editors Gregory Cowles and Alexandra Jacobs.

One of us loved the fantasy world, the romance, and the drama and some of us absolutely could not get past the growling, the flowery language, and the “sheathing” scene. We also get into why fantasy resonates so deeply with readers, the appeal of escapism, and how books like this become gateway reads for people who normally don't read at all.

(3:00) The problem with Google is that you can "Google yourself right," so you can always find confirmation bias. There is a growing awareness of what constitutes a "clean" product. (17:00) For example, Anna's spices do not have fillers, preservatives, or anti-caking agents. Vinnie shares a story about a recent consultation. (28:00) CAC scans (calcium score test) are a great guide to see if heart disease will be an issue for you.
