Episode DescriptionNumber 31 on the countdown. First zoo animal on Prozac. JD is joined by Duxoop from Toledo — broadcasting from the actual birthplace of Gus the polar bear — plus Andrew from Winnipeg and Dave from Montreal to dig into one of the most quietly beloved songs in the Hip catalogue.The panel gets into the Adam Kasper production that makes In Between Evolution sound the way it does, Rob Baker's untouchable outro solo, the Hip Museum's wonderfully unhinged George W. Bush theory, and the wordplay hiding in plain sight — because it was never what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us.Fair warning: this one gets emotional. Duxoop tells us what the lyrics did to him last year from a nursing home wheelchair, and Dave tells us about his friend Al — nickname Gus — and the cover band he's fronting at Al's memorial this Friday. Then the whole thing derails beautifully into a full inventory of every animal in the Hip discography.Explicit language. Recorded live on YouTube.On the PanelJD — hostDuxoop from Toledo — self-described part polar bear; born-in-Toledo credentials, same as GusAndrew from Winnipeg — arrived with facts and a News Radio shirt; host of Soup Full of RadioDave from Montreal — saw the Hip in Central Park; frontman of brand-new Hip cover band Colonel MustardTale of the TapePulled from The Hip Handbook, which amalgamates HipBase and setlist.fm data. Album In Between Evolution (2004) Producer Adam Kasper, recorded in Seattle Single Third single from the record Countdown position No. 31 on the Top 40 Times played live 327 First played October 27, 2003 Last played August 18, 2016 — the Ottawa show As an opener Once As an encore Five times Poll Results Love it 52% Like it 36% Tolerate it 10% Skip it 1% Never heard of it 1% Possibly the most varied — and most indecisive — poll spread of the series so far. Duxoop's verdict: "That's crazy to me. These numbers should be way more lopsided toward the top."Live Version FeaturedOttawa, 2004 — the Grey Cup halftime show. Andrew remembers watching it live and everyone around him asking why the band was opening the biggest gig of the year with a brand-new song. (They went into Courage right after.)What We Talked AboutThe Album That Everyone Slept OnIn Between Evolution debuted at No. 1 in Canada on roughly 22,500 first-week copies — then got knocked off the top by Avril Lavigne's new album.Certified platinum in Canada that September. Dave notes it was one of the last Hip records to move real units.Where does this song sit in the career arc? The panel lands on "the end of the middle" rather than the dawn of the final third.Andrew's take: Gus is the first song on the record that sounds like the Hip you already knew — you lean back in the chair. Heaven Is a Better Place Today, Summer's Killing Us and Vaccination Scar are louder neighbours, so Gus hides in the first five.Adam Kasper and the Seattle SoundAndrew looked up Kasper's credits and it clicked: Soundgarden's Down on the Upside, Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf, Pearl Jam's self-titled (the avocado one), Foo Fighters' One by One.Same studio was hosting the Big Fish and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtracks around the time this record was being made.The panel agrees Gus has a "weirdly familiar, warm Hip sound" — it could have sat on Day for Night with different production, or on Music at Work. Maybe it was on the shelf a while.Rob Baker's OutroUniversal agreement: whichever live version you pull up, Baker is on fire. "A real showcase for him."Dave's sharpest observation of the night — Gord never rants over this solo the way he does over others. It always gets its space, and that may be the only ad-lib that separates the live song from the record.Gus HimselfBorn 1985 at the Toledo Zoo, died August 27, 2013. A 700-pound icon of the Central Park Zoo, seen by over 20 million visitors.Began swimming obsessively — up to 12 hours a day — in the 1990s. Reporters called him neurotic, depressed and flaky, and he became a symbol of the stress of living in New York.The first zoo animal in history to be treated with Prozac. Also got a jacuzzi and, at one point, two girlfriends. Duxoop: "Why is he the one on Prozac and not me?"Gord wrote the song in 2004, nine years before Gus died — so this wasn't an obituary. He'd seen the bear and then done the second-sourcing, as Gord always did.There's a children's book called What's Worrying Gus? The True Story of a Big City Bear. On Amazon, the cover has Gus on a therapist's couch.The Toledo ConnectionThe Hip played the Toledo Zoo twice in the '90s — where Gus was born.When they played Toledo in 2004, Gus was the show opener. The stats say it only ever opened once, so that was absolutely on purpose.The Bush TheoryThe Hip Museum reads Gus as partly about George W. Bush and the invasion of Iraq. Andrew read the paragraph aloud; it describes the two as "lovable, loutish, and incredibly accomplished guys… not bad for a pair of dudes with limited mental capacity."JD's verdict: lots of love for the Hip Museum, but that one's a reach.Gus / UsDave's thesis: he doesn't hear a bear at all. "It's not what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us." He's been on that line for twenty years.JD points out the Gordism that makes it work — dropping the G, so "troublin' us" and "troubling Gus" are phonetically the same thing.Duxoop extends it: we've all watched a zoo animal pace or swim figure eights, and that should be troubling us.On the lyrics generally: Gord's word-smithery rewards straining to hear it, and the panel confesses to mumbling through parts for two decades. Compared to Nautical Disaster — all story, no chorus, no pattern — Gus is manageable, but only just.Duxoop's StoryLast year, when the countdown hit No. 31, Duxoop was three months into a nursing home stay with medical issues. Twenty-odd years earlier he'd started going to karaoke — big, scary-looking, socially awkward, mistaken for the bouncer. Now he was in his 60s, in a wheelchair, and the line landed like a ton of bricks: old and grey, and no one's afraid anymore.He sang it at the nursing home. "I don't think I've ever sung a Hip song with more feeling than I do with Gus." Grace, Too he can't fake — he feels like a schmuck trying to match Gord's intensity. Gus he doesn't fake.And after a week of thinking about it for this episode, he made a bold statement: Gus is now his favourite Tragically Hip song, over Grace, Too.Dave's Story — Al, Gus, and Colonel MustardDave's friend Al Morton died suddenly last November. They bonded over the Hip and golf at Dave's club. Al's nickname was Gus.In their fantasy football pick'em league, Al's picks stayed on the board for the rest of the NFL season. "A real lump in my throat."Al's memorial is this Friday at the Dunany Country Club in Wentworth, Quebec — halfway between Ottawa and Montreal. Ashes scattered around the course in the morning; speeches and a gathering at night, billed as his "after par-ty."The family asked for seven or eight Hip songs. Dave and friends have twenty ready, after two nights jamming at his buddy Chris's place. He made them learn Gus — he couldn't imagine doing a show for Al without it.The band is named Colonel Mustard, after Al's imported 1970s Mercedes. Wentworth, Quebec's Tragically Hip cover band. Dave waited 45 years to do this.His approach: very much not trying to be Gord. "I'm just trying to sing it with my truth."Hardest songs to sing so far — Fireworks (the National Fitness Program cadence) and Fully Completely (Gord's offbeat entrance in the middle section). Bassist John Roy has been cueing him in.Also on the setlist: Grace Too, Wheat Kings, The Good Life, Three Pistols.One BucketDave loves the way Gord says "whippoorwill" — audible in the Grey Cup version JD played. He'll be attempting it Friday."Used to be enough to make every bird stop singing." There's a lot of beauty in this song.Dave also went to bat for Sharks as an all-time Hip song — lyrically perfect, everyone gets to shine — while fully admitting he's a party of one on that.The Countdown NeighboursNo. 30 The Darkest One · No. 31 Gus · No. 32 Emperor Penguin — with Pigeon Camera at No. 28. As JD put it: their arctic phase.The Animal Album (An Idea That Got Away From Everyone)Duxoop floated it — Weird Al did a food album and a TV album, so why not a Tragically Hip animal album? The panel then attempted a full inventory:Emperor Penguin · Pigeon Camera · Dire Wolf · Problem Bears · Thompson Girl (polar bear reference) · The Bear on Music at WorkTiger the Lion · The Luxury (zoo lion) · Little Bones (a teeny tiny little cat) · Sled Dogs After DinnerWheat Kings (loon at the beginning) · Bumblebee · Leave ("in this contest, a concave nest") · Sharks · Piano Spider · I'm a Werewolf, Baby · the killer whale tank one on the box setVerdict: someone needs to make this playlist.Quotable Moments"It's not what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us. And that's just the best." — Dave from Montreal"Gord Downie sells the fuck out of this song. He sells the flakiness of the bear. He sells the confusion of the person watching it being like, why aren't you like a real bear?" — Dave from Montreal"It's funny — we're happy to hear a song about a sad animal." — Andrew from Winnipeg"Gus is like you're leaning back in your chair and relaxing a bit." — Andrew from Winnipeg"Grace, Too I feel like I'm faking it. Gus, man, I don't fake that one." — Duxoop from Toledo"It's up to us now to keep these songs alive." — Dave from Montreal"I live for that rare occasion where somebody goes, who was that song by? I got to look up that artist — and I get to make a new Hip fan." — Duxoop from ToledoMentioned in This EpisodeThe Hip Handbook — free Top 40 breakdown with episode links: thehiphandbook.tthpods.comHipBase and setlist.fm — live-stat sources behind the Tale of the TapeThe Hip Museum — source of the Gus / George W.

There's a local Toledo tribute on Friday collecting donations for the Dublin Simon Community, the homelessness charity Hansard cared deeply about. Duxoop, who was himself homeless for a couple of years recently: "I would definitely promote that."Andrew from WinnipegSoup Full of Radio — weekly on UMFM in Winnipeg.

JD's reiteration: this stuff is free forever, don't worry if you can't swing it.The Gathering — KingstonRegistration deadline is Friday for all activities. (If you're hearing this on the podcast feed, you've likely missed it.)Three days in Kingston for the 10th anniversary of the Hip's final show: a brunch, an album listening party, a first-day mixer, and hotel blocks.

#ŞehirKuşçuları İngiliz edebiyatının önemli yazarı Shakespeare iyi bir kuş gözlemcisi ve eserleri bu açıdan çok zengin. Kuzgun, baykuş, üveyik, kumru, serçe, sığırcık, bülbül başta olmak üzere eserlerinde yaklaşık 65 kuştan bahsediyor. Amerika'da yaşayan, aynı zamanda amatör ornitolog olan bir göçmen, 1890'larda "Shakespeare'in kuşları neden Amerika kıtasında yok!" diye harekete geçmiş, kafeste toplam 100 sığırcığı İngiltere'den gemilerle Amerika'ya getirmiş. New York'ta Central Park'ta salınan o kuşlarla başlayan inanılmaz olaylar... 1928 yılında uzmanlar, bu sığırcık ithalatının sonucunun büyük bir sorun yaratacağına dikkat çeken makaleler yazmış. Nitekim olaylar zincirleme gelişmiş... Sonra neler olmuş? Yaz Güvendi soruyor, Kerem Ali Boyla anlatıyor, Shakespeare'in kuşlarının yarattığı etkiden yola çıkarak edebiyat, doğa, göçmenler, istilacı türler ve sonuçlarını dinleyin. NEDEN ŞEHİR KUŞÇULARI? TGC'nin 2025 yılında "yılın radyo programı" seçtiği ve Sedat Simavi Radyo Ödülü'ne layık gördüğü Şehir Kuşçuları'nda, profesyonel kuş gözlemcisi, ekolog Kerem Ali Boyla ve amatör kuş gözlemcisi Yaz Güvendi ile kuşları tanıyor, doğayı keşfediyoruz.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the viral Central Park smoochfest between two lawyers was just the tip of the iceberg.

The "lip-lockers" are reportedly also having an affair, legal sources told The Post. Also audio from CNN bringing President Trump into the "Fauci Foray", accusing Trump in his first term of directing people to drink bleach / the left turns a deaf ear on the Fauci diaries / the proposed Oregon ballot measure to ban hunting failed to qualify for the November 3, 2026, general election ballot / and the political audio cut of the week featuring Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer dodging a reporter's question about the DSA's intent to abolish the Senate.

Today we taste test the new limited-edition Banana Nut Bread M&M's live on the stream. Then we pivot to a viral TikTok of two people kissing in Central Park that's sparked a massive debate — is it okay to film strangers in public and turn them into content? The morality police chime in.  Next up, Disney is auctioning off real treasures from inside Disneyland and Walt Disney World — Big Thunder Mountain props, a giant Miss Piggy figure, a Tomorrowland trash can, and more. We pull up the photos and quiz Alex on what they are.  We close with an insane survival story: an ER nurse was impaled by his own trekking pole on Montana's tallest mountain, assessed his own injuries, and hiked 10 miles out with it still in his body.

Today's Three Things mention a child's death after being left in a hot car, funeral services for the Utah family of five killed in a flash flood, and an update on traffic. From there, we look at Salt Lake City's push to regulate automatic license plate readers, why the $20,000 starter car is vanishing from dealerships, and a surprising survey that says nearly half of Americans would rather inherit nothing from loved ones. In our second hour,  it's News for the 1% with the rise of private chefs and a U.S. ban on humanoid robot imports from China, followed by the one AI-proof skill a pediatric surgeon says kids need right now.

It's been over two years since Flaco, the owl who escaped from the Central Park Zoo and captured New Yorkers hearts, died after colliding with a building on the Upper West Side. A new documentary, "Wild Inside," revisits Flaco's story, and sources footage from New York birders who were lucky enough to capture a Flaco sighting. Director Penny Lane discusses her film, "Wild Inside" which premieres July 29th in Central Park with a free outdoor screening before opening at the IFC Center on July 31st.

Ten years to the day. Two fans who were at Rexall Place for Edmonton night one tell the story - the presale tricks, the tight circle on stage, and the night the building went to church.Episode SummaryEdmonton, night one. July 28th, 2016. Rexall Place - months before Rogers Place opened its doors - and The Tragically Hip's first of two nights in Oil Country on the Man Machine Poem Tour. Ten years later, Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour sits down with Britain from Wainwright and Dave from Edmonton, two fans who were in the building. Amber from Meadow Lake joins long enough to drop the ticket story of the series - her seniors' exercise class watching her land eighth row on the floor through the Tales From The Hip fan club presale, in tears - before the connection gremlins claim her. We hope to hear the rest of it someday.The road to tickets is half the fun. Dave is the lapsed fan brought all the way back - off the bus during the Bob Rock years, pulled in by 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', then all in the moment the news about Gord broke: two sets of four from Ticketmaster, first spin. Britain - 40 shows deep - worked the presale, then discovered Ticketmaster would upgrade seats right up to showtime, held his target ticket hostage online while he waited on the phone, and turned row 17 into row 11 centre. Then he drove the 200 kilometres from Wainwright and did it all again two nights later.Inside the building, the panel remembers the band opening in that tight huddle at the front of the stage - a support group, buddies in the garage, there for Gord - before the intermission and the thunderstorm video interlude gave way to the full rock show. The album-by-album set list format gets called a stroke of genius, the In Between Evolution sampler delivers 'Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park' as a sleeper highlight, and 'Scared' - "pleasure doing business with you" - leaves Britain levitating somewhere above the floor. Dave's word for it: church.There's real talk about saying goodbye - during the show, on August 20th, 2016 when CBC paused its own Olympics for 11 million of us, and not until the Long Time Running documentary made it land. The word this panel keeps coming back to: celebration.The PanelBritain from Wainwright - 40 shows and counting, equidistant from everywhere and willing to drive. Video-recorded the entire night from his seat on a monopod; the footage lives on YouTube under his handle, Britstones, and the audio lives in his iTunes library.Dave from Edmonton - the returning fan who got to say goodbye in the same barn where he saw The Hip as a younger man.

This is the All Local morning update for July 28, 2026.

The City of Nixon has launched the Nixon Central Park Recognition & Donation Program!

Another day, another terrorist attack in a European city. In Berlin, a car drove through a pride parade. Does anyone want to play Guess the Perp, or do we think the car just did it by itself? Check your gaslights. The Left is trying to act as though transgenderism was never an issue and people are just blowing it out of proportion. Maybe we should take a look at what their literature has to say. A man kissed a woman in Central Park. Someone call the New York Post! Oh, they did. Well, maybe everyone is overreacting.

jD convenes the expert panel to dissect "700 Ft Ceiling," the song that lands like a baseball bat to the face right in the middle of Trouble at the Henhouse.The conversation starts warm — everyone's summertime Hip pick, from "Membership" to "Morning Moon" to "Summer's Killing Us" — before turning to the puzzle at the centre of the track: what exactly is a 700-foot ceiling? (Aviation term. Lowest layer of broken or overcast cloud sitting 700 feet above ground.)The panel unpacks Gord's habit of collecting phrases for their sound rather than their meaning, the wintery outdoor-rink imagery, and the Lou Reed-flat melody that barely distinguishes verse from chorus.Things get spicy on placement. Tracy calls it filler and skips it. Mikk and Jamie agree the song detonates a gorgeous opening run — "Gift Shop," "Springtime in Vienna," "Ahead by a Century," "Don't Wake Daddy," "Flamenco" — and kicks off what Jamie dubs the album's weird second half alongside "Butts Wigglin'" and "Coconut Cream." The Kids in the Hall theory gets floated. So does the grunge theory. Everyone concedes it hit much harder live than it ever did on record.Then the episode's real gift: Mick and Jamie tell the story of renting the Bathhouse for a weekend — sleeping in the studio, playing pool while spinning We Are the Same on vinyl, Billy Ray wandering in at 10pm with stories, engineer Niles behind the board, Gord's training bike still parked where he left it. Once-in-a-lifetime stuff, told well.Next week's shuffle: "Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park" from In Between Evolution.Key Quotes"It's like an alarm clock goes off." — Mik, on where the song lands on the album"It is like a baseball bat in the face." — jD"Think about how many shows they played after 2004 that they did not play this song. That's why it ranks low. Guys, I'm telling it like it is." — Jamie"I think this is kind of Gord's secret talent — he listens better than everybody." — Mik"He says '700-foot ceiling' like four times, but the second or third time it's '700 and sinking,' which is just cool." — Jamie"It kind of felt very lived in. There was nothing you couldn't touch, nothing you couldn't sit on." — Mik, on the Bathhouse"I'll get emotional if I talk about it." — Jamie, on being shown the band's jam space"Well, I know what we forgot to do this week.

"Non è un paese per single" di Felicia Kingsley e "Io sono Adele" di Csaba dalla ZorzaUn'autrice da 4 milioni di copie con oltre 20 libri: parliamo di Felicia Kingsley, pseudonimo di una scrittrice italiana considerata una delle massime esponenti del genere Romance, nell'accezione della commedia romantica. Sono suoi romanzi come "Matrimonio di convenienza", che era stato il suo esordio nel 2017, "Due cuori in affitto", "Ti aspetto a Central Park" e "Non è un paese per single" (tutti pubblicati da Newton Compton) uscito nel 2022, ma che ora è tornato alla ribalta in una nuova edizione, in seguito al film che ne è stato tratto con la regia di Laura Chiossone, disponibile su Prime Video. "Non è un paese per single" è una sorta la riscrittura di "Orgoglio e Pregiudizio" di Jane Austen, ma è ambientato in Toscana ai giorni nostri. Siamo a Belvedere in Chianti ed Elisa, madre single, si occupa della tenuta vitivinicola Le Giugiole. Alla morte del conte Ricasoli, arriva dall'Inghilterra l'erede, il nipote Charles, in compagnia dell'amico Michael Darcy, amici di infanzia che Elisa non vede da anni. Elisa teme di perdere il lavoro che ama (lei adora prendersi cura delle vigne e produrre vino), ma la storia d'amore ovviamente è dietro l'angolo.Nella seconda parte parliamo del nuovo romanzo di Csaba dalla Zorza. Immaginate una donna con una vita di successo e che a 60 anni, però, decide di abbandonare Milano e trasferirsi in un paesino della Provenza per andare a servizio presso una famiglia benestante. Questa donna si chiama Adele Casagrande ed è la protagonista di "Io sono Adele" (Marsilio), secondo romanzo di Csaba dalla Zorza che aveva avuto un bel successo con il suo esordio "La Governante" dove già compariva il personaggio di Adele. Attraverso le attività manuali (lei ama lavare i piatti a mano) e il rapporto con gli oggetti, Adele riesce a ritrovare veramente se stessa.

Two recent deaths—a carriage horse named Deniz and an 18-year-old tourist named Romanch Mahajan—have reignited one of New York City's longest-running animal welfare debates. As momentum builds to end horse-drawn carriage rides in Manhattan, host Joseph Grove sits down with two of the movement's leading voices to discuss what may be the industry's defining moment. For generations, horse-drawn carriages have been one of New York City's most recognizable attractions, carrying millions of tourists through Central Park beneath the Manhattan skyline. Supporters call them a cherished tradition. Critics see something very different: horses forced to navigate one of the busiest and most chaotic urban environments in the world. Now, two recent tragedies have transformed a long-running debate into a defining moment. In this episode of The Animal Wellness Podcast, host Joseph Grove examines the growing movement to end New York City's horse-drawn carriage industry and the legislation that could finally bring it to a close. Joining the program are Wayne Pacelle, president of the Center for a Humane Economy and Animal Wellness Action, and Edita Birnkrant, executive director of NYCLASS, one of the nation's leading organizations working to end the use of carriage horses in New York City. Together they discuss the deaths of Deniz, a carriage horse who died after consuming poisonous Japanese yew leaves, and Romanch Mahajan, the 18-year-old tourist killed after a carriage horse bolted through Central Park. They examine how those tragedies have reshaped public opinion, accelerated political momentum, and placed Intro. 943—the bill to phase out horse-drawn carriage rides—closer to passage than ever before. The conversation explores: • Why horse-drawn carriages remain one of New York City's most controversial animal-welfare issues. • What carriage horses experience every day on Manhattan's crowded streets. • Why decades of regulation have failed to prevent accidents involving both horses and people. • The misconceptions surrounding the care and treatment of carriage horses. • What would happen to the horses if Intro. 943 becomes law. • Whether New York City could become the catalyst for ending horse-drawn carriage rides in other cities. • How this campaign fits into the broader movement to improve protections for horses, including efforts to end horse slaughter. Edita Birnkrant also reflects on nearly two decades of advocacy and what it would mean personally to see New York finally retire its carriage horses after years of public education, political organizing, and legislative work. Whether you're interested in animal welfare, public policy, urban history, or the future of horses in America, this episode provides an inside look at one of the nation's most consequential animal-protection campaigns—and why many believe New York City now stands at a historic crossroads.

In February 2023, Flaco, a Eurasian eagle-owl, escaped from the Central Park Zoo through a hole cut in the netting of his enclosure and soon found himself alone on a Manhattan sidewalk. But, as director Penny Lane (“Hail Satan?”, “Our Nixon”) shows in her inquisitive, insightful and irresistible documentary “Wild Inside,” Flaco would not be alone for long. Soon, he became the toast of the town, with his own devoted followers including owlers, tourists, apartment dwellers, TV late night hosts, and the news media.   Penny joins Ken on the pod to discuss how this enigmatic, majestic bird with the penetrating pumpkin eyes won New Yorkers' hearts from one end of Manhattan to the other and touched off a debate about how the wild animals in our midst should be treated and protected. Penny talks about how she, a birder herself, first heard about Flaco from a filmmaker friend who happened upon Flaco on his first night of freedom, and then embarked on her own journey to tell this multi-layered story from different perspectives. Flaco's point of view on all of this remains unknowable, but Penny succeeds wildly in illuminating how one bird can give us new eyes to see the world anew.     “Wild Inside” is from HBO Documentary Films and has its world premiere in Central Park on July 29th, followed by screenings in select theaters across the U.S. See more details at FlacoDocumentary.com.   Hidden Gem: “Best Worst Movie”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.   Follow: @pennyjupiter on Instagram and @lennypane on X @topdocspod on Instagram and X

Statues in parks and city centres are meant to celebrate history and inspire for the future. But it's thought that in nearly every country in the world, women only make up 2-3% of the public statues. Datshiane Navanayagam talks to sculptors from the US and Nigeria who are working to redress the balance.Meredith Bergmann is an American sculptor creating giant bronzes of significant female public figures for parks and historical sites around the United States. Her “Women's Rights Monument” was unveiled in 2020 for the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. It was the first statue of a woman, joining 22 statues of historical men in Central Park in New York. Sokari Douglas Camp makes steel sculptures that vary in size from 30cm to 5m tall. Influenced by her Nigerian heritage, her latest exhibition, Fashion and Fortune, explores clothing, commerce and emblems of wealth using elaborate headdresses and the incorporation of coins to highlight both oppression and creativity.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Sokari Douglas Camp, credit Jonathan Greet.

Magyarország emlékeztet."En: Smiling, she said: “Beautiful music. It reminds me of Hungary."Hu: István örömmel fordult felé, bár kicsit még izgatott volt az új ismeretségtől.En: István turned to her with joy, though still a bit excited by the new acquaintance.Hu: „Köszönöm. Régóta játszom, és most keresem itt a kapcsolatot az otthonommal."En: “Thank you. I've been playing for a long time, and now I'm looking to connect with my home here."Hu: Réka nevetett. „Én is hasonló utat keresek. Az anyukám magyar, de itt nőttem fel. Néha olyan nehéz kapcsolódni a gyökereimhez."En: Réka laughed. “I'm seeking a similar path. My mother is Hungarian, but I grew up here. Sometimes it's so hard to connect with my roots."Hu: A két fiatal hosszasan beszélgetett Magyarországról, az otthoni ízekről és a régi hagyományokról.En: The two young people talked at length about Hungary, the flavors from home, and old traditions.Hu: Ahogy a nap lassan lenyugodott, a park elcsendesedett.En: As the sun slowly set, the park quieted down.Hu: István és Réka telefonszámot cserélt.En: István and Réka exchanged phone numbers.Hu: Megbeszélték, hogy máskor is találkoznak.En: They agreed to meet again another time.Hu: „Szívesen megmutatnám a kedvenc helyeimet a városban," mondta Réka.En: “I'd happily show you my favorite places in the city," said Réka.Hu: „Én pedig szívesen olvasnék fel neked magyar költészetet," válaszolta István lelkesen.En: “And I would love to read you Hungarian poetry,” replied István eagerly.Hu: Egy új barátság kezdődött, melyben mindketten megtalálták, amit kerestek: a kapcsolódást és az inspirációt.En: A new friendship began, where both found what they were looking for: connection and inspiration.Hu: Central Park már nem csak egy hely volt számukra, hanem a találkozásuk színtere, ahol otthon érezhették magukat.En: Central Park was no longer just a place for them, but the stage of their meeting, where they could feel at home.

This week, the City Council moved to ban horse-drawn carriages in Central Park. The catalyst is the death of an 18-year-old tourist who was thrown from a driverless carriage, adding to a series of recent horse-related incidents. With City Council Speaker Julie Menin backing the effort, a majority of the City Council members support phasing out horse-drawn carriages by June 2028. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli examine the latest chapter in a debate that has divided New Yorkers for decades. Gov. Kathy Hochul also signed an executive order imposing the nation's first moratorium on large-scale data centers, which help fuel artificial intelligence companies. The order applies to facilities requiring 50 megawatts of electricity or more. The Off Topic team discusses what prompted the move and how it contrasts with Hochul's earlier approach to artificial intelligence and its role in New York.

RFK Jr. has been chasing skinks around the yard and biting off their tails but they grow back unlike when bees give you their tail in your skin so now you can make the royal jelly. Nelly and Tim McGraw met in Central Park and they made a song for the Knicks about how they want to live in New York over and over again and not try anything crazy like going from Dustah to Wustah.

Content creator and marathon runner Brett Chody joins us for what we're calling the sporty girl's guide to getting dressed — a practical conversation about building a wardrobe around an active life without sacrificing style.We get into all of it: how being an athlete shapes the way you see your body and get dressed, the bags she's investing in (and why she gravitates toward color over classics), her honest take on wearables and why she finally took off her Oura Ring, and the exact brands and pieces she reaches for every single day.We also talk about Bites Run Club — how a spontaneous Instagram story turned into 150 girls showing up to run Central Park, and why in-person community might be one of the most underrated things you can build right now. Plus the runner uglies, men's deodorant as a life hack, designing her own Nike shoe, and the wardrobe advice she gives every woman who moves a lot and actually wants to get dressed.Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/5831698In this episode, we get into:How being a marathon runner has completely shaped the way Brett gets dressed — and why athletes often have the most instinctive sense of personal styleThe sporty girl uniform that actually works: the exact jeans, tops, and shoes Brett reaches for when she wants to look put together without trying too hardWhy she sizes up in almost everything she buys — and why she tells her followers to stop looking at the tagThe bag conversation: why she invests in color over classics, the pistachio suede Chanel she ran a race for, and what her Bottega, Prada Cleo, and Andiamo all say about her styleHer honest Oura Ring confession — why she wore it every day for a year, what finally made her take it off, and whether she'd ever go backThe Apple Watch debate: why she thinks it's "tears" as a fashion accessory and what she actually wears on her wrist insteadHer go-to workout gear broken down by activity — what she runs in versus what she wears to Pilates, and why those are two very different wardrobesDesigning her own Nike Vomero+ colorway and why it felt like a full-circle moment from her Nike ID days in high schoolHow Bites Run Club started with one Instagram story and 150 girls showing up to Central Park — and why she thinks in-person community is what people are craving most right nowThe post-grad loneliness no one talks about — and how finding a hobby with a built-in community can change everythingThe deodorant hot take that stopped us in our tracks (hint: it's from the men's aisle)Her dessert bowl wardrobe breakdown: the piece she's had since high school that's still in heavy rotation, the brand she keeps buying in multiples, and what recently got retiredBrett Chody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brettsbitesLet's Get DressedYouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpodNewsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperezLet's Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Opie, Ron the Waiter, and Tony P go off on a chaotic FU Friday packed with wild stories and savage roasts. An airline pilot who never had a real license gets crowned "Who Da Man," a Central Park horse carriage tragedy sparks outrage, Ron rages about getting stiffed by Ecuador fans during the World Cup, and Opie reveals his dentist pinched his lip so hard it left a week-long bruise. Non-stop banter, superchat chaos, Venmo begging, and zero-filter laughs — classic Opie Radio energy you can't scroll past.

Liam Quigley, reporter covering parks & sanitation for Gothamist and WNYC, talks about the latest efforts to ban carriage horses in Central Park.

Opie & Ron lose it over DC's radioactive reflection pool turning into an algae nightmare — no-bid felon contracts, National Guard guarding pond scum, and kids getting 10 years for touching a blue chunk. Plus a kid dies in a Central Park horse carriage… and they're back running tours a WEEK later. World Cup chaos, Clive Davis stories, Babe Ruth punching umps, and Venmo Ronnie begging. Pure unhinged radio.Thanks for supporting the show https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA It's really appreciated!

18-year-old Romanch Mahajan was celebrating his high school graduation with his parents and younger brother with a once in a lifetime trip to NYC. The family decided to take a relaxing ride through Central Park in one of its iconic horse drawn carriages. When the driver stepped away to snap a family photo of the group, the horse bolted and accelerated, throwing Romanch to his death. Now there are renewed and urgent calls to end the decades long tradition in New York, and demands for a full investigation into the tragedy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
