They're in the monnaie. Local officials in an “unremarkable” small town in France were shocked to discover that a wealthy Parisian had left them a fortune — completely without warning.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, the US Coast Guard was still searching the waters off Breezy Point for the sixth victim of a boating accident that killed three people and put two others in the hospital a day earlier.Congestion pricing tolls reaped nearly $49 million from Manhattan motorists during the controversial program's first month — several millions less than the MTA had projected, transit officials say.And Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning singer and pianist whose intimate vocal and musical style made her one of the top recordings artists of the 1970s and an influential performer long after, died Monday. She was 88.

Mayor Eric Adams is pushing back against calls for his resignation amid ongoing controversies. Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for a missing boater after a vessel capsized near the Ambrose Channel off Breezy Point on Sunday. Also, New York City property owners of taxpayer-funded affordable housing developments say soaring insurance costs are threatening their ability to operate, prompting new state efforts to rein in costs. Plus, city officials unveil high-tech flood gates as part of a $349 million coastal resiliency plan to protect Lower Manhattan from rising sea levels and future storms.

A Queens pizzeria is causing quite a stir with its new line of T-shirts featuring the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann. The shirts, created by Pizza on the Point in Breezy Point, playfully reference the method of Heuermann's capture, which involved DNA found on a pizza crust. "The Pizza is Amazing," the shirts read. "But make sure you finish the crust — Rex Heuermann, Gilgo Pizza Connoisseur." While the pizza joint's owners defend the shirts as a slice of Big Apple humor, some customers find the joke to be in poor taste. "That's dark!" commented Breezy Point retiree Paul Fallon. "That's beyond dark. That's tasteless, and tasteless is not a good thing for a pizza parlor." Customer Samantha K also expressed her disapproval. "Oh my God, take the picture off," she said. "It might be funny for some people but it's really inappropriate. They should definitely take his picture off! That is some dark, dark humor." The idea for the shirts came from the pizza shop's owner, local restaurateur Tom McGoorty. Chef Stefano Ballato, who spoke on behalf of the shop, explained, "He has a very good sense of humor. He had them printed by his friends. He was born and raised here in Breezy Point." Pizza on the Point is a popular eatery in Breezy Point and is known for its laid-back atmosphere. "Most of the people here are relaxed," Ballato said. "If you go to Manhattan, you can't make nobody happy. Always someone finds a problem, a way not to be happy. They don't appreciate nothing funny. Not here, no worry in the world. They're all good here." Ballato mentioned that the pizzeria has been giving the shirts away to regular customers and might start selling them due to their growing popularity. "This is America," he said. "The tragedy becomes comedy after time, like Saturday Night Live." Despite the controversy, many customers find humor in the situation. "I think it's hilarious," said customer Alyssa Kotzman. "I really like the way the shirt was laid out. Now that I know I'm definitely going to eat the crust!" Another local, a municipal worker who only identified himself as Brian, also appreciated the humor. "It's funny," he said. "It's a little dark. Dark humor, but definitely New York humor." Breezy Point local Chris Reed agreed, adding, "It doesn't bother me. You gotta make fun of things. You can't always be a tight ass." Rex Heuermann, a married Massapequa Park architect, is charged with killing six sex workers who went missing as early as 2000. Their bodies were discovered along a desolate stretch of waterfront along Ocean Parkway. The cases went unsolved for over a decade until Heuermann's arrest last year, which was partly due to DNA evidence found on a pizza crust. As the debate continues, Pizza on the Point remains at the center of a discussion about the limits of humor and the appropriateness of making light of a serious criminal case.

Welcome to this special edition of the Minnesota Music Shakedown. The Twin Cities music scene (and beyond) is morning the loss of a rock n roll legend loved by all, Billy Larson. Billy's Life of the Party concert will be at the Myth Live on Sunday April 7th. Doors at 12:30pm. I've had a podcast interviewing musicians for going on 9 years. Being one of my favorite story tellers, I had tried to get Billy on since the very beginning, but he always dodged me (unless surprising me at a gig saying let's do the interview now, man!) On Nov 5, 2022 after a performance in Breezy Point, mutual friend, Kevin Keen took bass player Brian Johnson and myself to visit Billy at his home since he had been very ill. Although, not making a habit of this, I decided this was my window & I hit record on my iPhone & documented an evening of hangin with Billy as a remembrance for myself & for others. What follows (with some heavy editing for content & permission from Lisa) are some stories and some jamming that I hope helps keep Billy in your mind & in your heart. WARNING: Heavy usage of foul language. Thanks & enjoy!

Our guests today included Anna Gison, Board Chair, Breezy Point Figure Skating Club, and Mariah Hines, Gambling Manager, Breezy Point Figure Skating Club.

Speaking of ice, today's episode is all about the news outta Breezy Point, where MN Hockey Camps recently acquired the local Gulls hockey program, and will now be known as the MHC Gulls. To tell us all about that, and other updates with the Breezy Point hockey scene is our pal and owner of Mn Hockey Camps and the MN Loons, Chris Stewart. Not only does he dive into everything regarding the Camps and Team, but also how he has seen hockey in the area grow since he and his family moved to the area after his time in the NHL, including events like the Smiles for Jake "Jake Haapajoki Memorial Cup" which he played in this past weekend. And of course before he left, we HAD TO discuss how he rates Isaiah's chirping game, which we all saw last year at Loons games!Thanks again to Chris for stopping by.

This might be the single best pitch ever thrown.Like, not hyperbole. That might be the single best pitch ever thrown.Since Shohei Ohtani is beyond describing with words, numbers, music, electromagnetic fields… let's let baseball sit for a moment and focus on the home front.The folks at Hell Gate have presented a field of 64 for NYC hot takes, and, yeah, okay… it's good to have this forum because this could be an entire day's worth of tweets.So, I'm just gonna go through their bracket, give you the winners, and provide all the correct analysis along the way to find out the champion take. My analysis in bold, winners in italics.BROOKLYN REGION(1) The best pizza in NYC can be found at Domino's. Domino's is underrated, but no. vs. (16) No one should live remotely close to Newtown Creek or the Gowanus Canal. Probably, and Willets Pod just touched on this.(8) Free concerts are a trap. You get what you pay for. vs. (9) Coney Island is a better beach than the Rockaways. If you'd said Brighton Beach, maybe. Coney Island is a lousy beach.(5) There are too many bars in NYC. No, there are too many bars in close proximity to each other. vs. (12) Jazz in bars should be banned. This is ludicrous. Don't go to jazz bars, then.(4) Public urination should not be against the law. Correct, especially given the public bathroom situation in this town. vs. (13) Chinese food ranking: Sunset Park > College Point > Flushing > Chinatown. How are you even quantifying this? Remarkably stupid to even try wading into it. Go away.(6) We should bring back speed dating. Okay? Isn't that just what apps are now, basically? vs. (11) The City MUST subsidize beer at BRIC events (should cost no more than $5). Oh please.(3) You should be able to park for free at metered spots on Saturdays, too, not just Sundays. If anything, you should have to pay on Sundays, too. vs. (14) To find the best Italian food, look for an elderly man whose political views are not for public consumption. This is a lazy take, but at least it's not completely wrong.(7) Prospect Park > Central Park. In some ways, at least, sure. vs. (10) Prospect Park is boring and I don't want to go to your birthday picnic there. That's a you problem.(2) Rats are fine. They're not, but this is a better take than its more obnoxious opponent. vs. (15) If well drinks cost more than $10 at a bar, vandalism should be legal there. Good lord, people, dive bar attendance is not a personality.REGIONALS: (4) Legalize public urination > (8) Free concets are a trap; (7) Prospect Park > (14) Old racists know good food. Winner: (4) Public urination should not be against the law.MANHATTAN REGION(1) The Astor Place cube sucks. Yeah. vs. (16) East River park was falling apart and it's fine to rebuild it. They should expand the park and close the FDR forever.(8) The Oculus is actually pretty cool. But it still sucks. vs. (9) Cars should be banned below 96th Street. Cars should be banned on the entire island.(5) The NYU student who hated studying abroad in Florence is right – studying abroad sucks. This is another you problem. vs. (12) The Empire State Building is ugly and the Chrysler Building should be more famous instead. The Empire State Building is maybe the most overrated place in the entire city.(4) All Broadway musicals are terrible. Ludicrous blanket statement. vs. (13) Gramercy Park should be municipalized. And all of the key holders should be egged on opening day.(6) The Elizabeth Street Garden should absolutely become housing. Eh… there are so few gardens, and turning that one into housing is not going to solve anything, really. vs. (11) It's fine to wear open-toed shoes out and about. Grow up! Why are you looking at everyone's feet, Quentin? Mind your business.(3) The new white CitiBike e-bikes are too heavy and bumpy and bad. They look ridiculous, too. vs. (14) Tammany Hall was good. I'm gonna do the whole Matt Damon “do you like apples” scene if this becomes an actual topic.(7) Everyone should shop at Whole Foods – it's cheaper! This is just weird? vs. (10) We must drain and pave over the East River. Pave, no. Turn into a miles-long wildlife preserve? Let's talk.(2) The Vessel is actually cool/good/beautiful. No it ain't. vs. (15) Food halls are overrated. It's not exciting on I-95 and it's not exciting in the city.REGIONALS: (13) Municipalize Gramercy Park > (9) Ban cars below 96th Street; (3) Disappointing CitiBikes > (10) Drain and pave the East River. Winner: (13) Municipalize Gramercy Park.QUEENS REGION(1) George Santos rules. Way funnier than the last fascist we sent to Washington. vs. (16) Kiss > Ramones > Simon and Garfunkel. Put Simon and Garfunkel according to your taste, but the order is Ramones > Kiss, and that's not up for debate.(8) Clubs and dive bars should have a separate bathroom for people who want to do drugs. Suck it up. Or snort it up. Whatever. vs. (9) Breezy Point should be seized through eminent domain and turned into a public beach. Obviously.(5) People who say there's good BBQ in NYC are lying to themselves. It's not as bad as people make it out to be, but it's also not GOOD BBQ. vs. v(12) Either the Whitestone Bridge or the Throggs-Neck must be torn down – we can't have both. Put trains on them.(4) Street cleaning should always be just once a week. Duh. vs. (13) There are too many firehouses. What drugs were you doing in that bathroom?(6) The NYC public school year should end in May, not the end of June. Then they'd start in August, which is worse. vs. (11) The subway should have a smoking car. Deranged, but in the new weed capital of the world…(3) The Mets are not uniquely cursed. Oh baby, how much time do you got? vs. (14) Douglaston is on Long Island, not in Queens. You can't just make shit up and call it a take.(7) The Queens/Nassau border doesn't exist. This is a way better version of the 14 seed, and spiritually accurate. vs. (10) People that throw bread for pigeons are assholes. Mind your business.(2) Actually, the street numbers make sense, you just want an excuse not to go to Queens. It's a little confusing in Astoria, for about 30 seconds. But keep not coming to Queens, you don't deserve it. vs. (15) Sunnyside Spider-Man > Forest Hills Spider-Man. This isn't even a hot take, it's just true. Unfortunate matchup.REGIONALS: (4) Die, alternate side parking! > (1) George Santos; (3) Mets > (7) Queens/Nassau border isn't real. Winner: (3) The Mets are not uniquely cursed.THE BRONX REGION(1) Bill de Blasio is the best mayor NYC has ever had. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. vs. (16) Riverdale is not in the Bronx. Spiritually, again, understandable, but stop arguing with maps.(8) The New York City Council should be dissolved. I'd like to hear more? Useless organization for the most part. vs. (9) The ferries are the best way to get around the city. From a comfort standpoint, absolutely.(5) The Yankees should allow facial hair, but only full handlebar mustaches and failing that their players must be completely hairless. Are we talking full body wax, too? vs. (12) City outdoor pools should be open year-round. In some form or another… yes.(4) The city's health rules for restaurants are too strict (and racist…….) The famously strict New York City restaurant health codes??? vs. (13) We should have corporal punishment for a select few absentee landlords, just to keep them all in line. Embrace having to live in the places they neglect as “corporal punishment,” and let's roll.(6) Showtime subway dancers deserve more love and respect. A lot of them suck. Standards have dropped. But they're still out there putting on better shows than Jerry Seinfeld reading a list of complaints. vs. (11) Staten Island should be given independence (come what may). Here's my hot take: Staten Island is actually good.(3) We need to give firefighters more things to do. THEY. FIGHT. FIRES. vs. (14) Park conservancies should be abolished. NIMBYs dressed up as environmental advocates. 100% accurate take.(7) Just make Marble Hill part of the Bronx, this is stupid. Unlike some of the others, this one is a good take. They changed the course of the Spuyten Duyvil Creek between the tip of Manhattan and the Bronx, and it left Marble Hill, once part of Manhattan Island, as part of the mainland. If you redraw the river, redraw the map. vs. (10) New York City should not have any zoos. Quite possibly the worst take on the list.(2) Bagels have become too big. You've become too weak. vs. (15) All cars entering the city must have internal horns that are louder than their external horns. It's really not the horns that are the problem, but love the idea.REGIONALS: (5) Yankees must be either mustachioed or fully hairless > (9) Ferries; (7) Marble Hill should be part of the Bronx > (14) Abolish park conservancies. Winner: (7) Just make Marble Hill part of the Bronx, this is stupid.CITY CHAMPIONSHIP(13) Gramercy Park should be a public park > (3) The Mets are not uniquely cursed.The nature of the Mets' cursing may not be unique, but the way they go about living through it sure is. Way too many of these takes were simply awful, so here's the First Four Out, as I see it anyway…Brooklyn: (17) The Nathan's on the Coney Island boardwalk is better than the main Nathan's on Surf Avenue.Manhattan: (17) They should've built that stadium at Hudson Yards even though NYC didn't get the Olympics, at least everyone expects the Jets to suck.Queens: (17) LaGuardia > JFK and it isn't even really that close. MUCH LIKE KENNEDY AIRPORT.Bronx: (17) Orchard Beach is the best beach in the city.Staten Island (1): The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail should be extended over the Bayonne Bridge and to the St. George ferry terminal along Richmond Terrace.But the champion of all NYC takes? Every road in the city with multiple lanes for automobile traffic should be reduced to one lane, with the rest of the space given to bikes, light rail, green space… anything but cars.

Dennis grew up in Brooklyn's Breezy Point neighborhood, which all of his friends used to call “Boozy Point.” At age thirteen, working as a Cabana Boy, he would take beer from the beach club and host weekend bonfire parties for his friends. By the time he was 15, he was stealing liquor from his family's cabinet in hopes of having better parties. In retrospect, Dennis says he drank so early in hopes it could help him fit in with the other kids. He also felt isolated from his family; he could never be comfortable at gatherings or parties. He chose to stay in his room. Drinking took over Dennis' life by age 17, and he was cutting classes both in high school and later in college. The first person to confront Dennis about his drinking was his bartender.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   When I invited Andrew Watson onto Talking Taiwan to talk about the fourth annual Hello Taiwan Concert, I was pleasantly surprised by how our conversation touched on the 1990s music scene in Taiwan. Andrew was living in Taiwan at the time when he formed his band Feiwu (廢物樂隊), which will be performing at Hello Taiwan. Feiwu is the hard-rocking band who wrote and performed the classic “我愛台灣啤酒” (“I Love Taiwan Beer”) and other original songs at Spring Scream and various venues around the island from 1997 to 2001. The band is well known as one of the core bands that pioneered the Taiwan independent music scene of the ’90’s along with Mayday (五月天), Cthonic (閃靈), 1976, The Chairman (董事長), and Quarterback (四分衛).   This year, organizers of the Hello Taiwan Concert will be raising funds for Typhoon Haiyan victims in the Philippines. Last year they raised $10,000 for the Breezy Point firemen who were themselves victims of Hurricane Sandy, when their houses were burned down in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Many of the Breezy Point firemen, were the first responders at the 9/11 terrorist attack.    The bands that will be performing at Hello Taiwan include: Feiwu (廢物樂隊), Bikini Carwash, Torpid May, and The Underground Channel.   There will be a special guest performance by Filipino American rapper, producer and performer, IZZY.   Hello Taiwan will be hosted by Ben Hedges. journalist, producer and TV host.
