Podcasts about family ties

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins dives deep into the life of James “Jimmy the Gent” Burke. Prompted by listener Paul Blackwood of Edinburgh, Gary explores Burke's world beyond the headlines of the Lufthansa heist. From his turbulent childhood in foster homes and orphanages to his rise as a feared and respected mobster in the Lucchese family, Burke's story is one of violence, loyalty, and paranoia. Gary traces Burke's early years of crime, his ties with Henry Hill and Paul Vario, and the meticulous planning of the Lufthansa heist that netted millions—and left a trail of blood in its aftermath. The episode also covers Burke's role in gambling and drug rackets, his eventual downfall in the Boston College point-shaving scandal, and his complicated legacy in mob history. Was Jimmy the Gent a loyal operator, or a ruthless killer who trusted no one? Tune in for a gripping exploration of one of organized crime's most enigmatic figures.

So thank you, Paul. Hope you're listening to this.  I will try to remember to send you an email just before I release this one. However, Paul suggested that I do a story that focuses more specifically on Jimmy Burke, also known as Jimmy the Gent. And I looked around, and I agreed with Paul. Burke is mentioned on many podcasts because we all want to discuss the famous Lufthansa. I want to talk about Henry Hill, some of the other mob people in the Lucchese family, but it seems like I wasn't really finding a show that was just focused on Burke. So, James, Jimmy the Gent, Burke and where he came from and where he went. [0:43] Oh, and don't forget to hit me up on Venmo, buy me a cup of coffee once in a while, or maybe go donate on the podcast. I appreciate it. It helps pay the bills and keep me going. Now, Burke may be one of the most famous mob associates of all times, I would say. Oh, there's some in Chicago. They had a lot of associates in Chicago. But because of, of course, Henry Hill and Robert De Niro playing him, [1:07] why, he probably would be the most famous mob guy who is not a made man. If Henry Hill had not gone into witness protection, if Henry Hill had not done that book with Nicholas Pelleggi, Wise Guys, or if the famous filmmaker Martin Scorsese hadn't taken Wise Guys and Pellegi's book and got Pellegi to help write a script and titled it Goodfellas. And when Robert De Niro took the part of Jimmy the Gent, his place in history was assured, I'll tell you that, especially in mob history. In my humble opinion, this book and film were arguably the best depictions of day-to-day mob life ever that I've ever seen. I thought it was amazing. He did a heck of a job at the casino. [1:55] And to see the egos of these guys, once they turn, are just amazing. When Lefty Rosenthal heard Robert De Niro was going to play him, he told Pelleggio, oh yeah, I'll work with you, I'll work on this. And I'm not sure what brought Henry Hill around,

Comedian and member of Drago's inner circle, Lucas Zelnick, joins the pod. Taking some time off from the road, Lucas shares what he's been learning in acting class. As a new dog dad, he lays out why having a dog is way harder than being a parent—especially when you're working the graveyard shift at the Cellar. Drago tells the story of attending a friend's wedding in New Orleans, which leads the boys to realize: New York City just does it better. Lucas talks about bombing at a recent charity event, and the boys get into tips for wedding speeches—which, oddly enough, leads Drago to learn why his uncle no longer speaks to him.

The sermon explores the complex relationship between familial loyalty and spiritual commitment, challenging conventional notions of belonging by asserting that true kinship lies in obedience to the Father's will. Examining a confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees, the message highlights the importance of faith and action over mere blood ties, declaring that those who do the Father's will become Jesus's brothers, sisters, and mother. It underscores the gravity of rejecting Jesus's teachings, contrasting it with the transformative power of repentance and the promise of eternal life through faith, ultimately emphasizing that true belonging is found not in earthly relationships but in a spiritual connection to God.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered how some family businesses not only survive but thrive across generations? In this captivating conversation, Tucker Yarbrough reveals the remarkable journey of Yarbrough & Sons, a home service company that's grown from a $4.5 million business to pacing at $13 million by staying true to their roots while embracing innovation.Tucker opens up about being a "trade baby" – growing up in the business his parents founded in 1988, stepping away as his parents encouraged, and then finding his way back alongside his brothers. What makes this story particularly compelling is how three brothers with different strengths have created clearly defined roles that leverage their individual talents. Will's systems-orientation, Colby's sales expertise, and Tucker's financial and marketing acumen combine to create a leadership team that's greater than the sum of its parts.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Tucker challenges conventional wisdom about branding in the home service industry. Rather than chasing trendy designs or constantly rebranding, Yarbrough & Sons embraced their traditional red and blue "sun and snowflake" logo as part of their legacy identity. This consistency has paid dividends, with their brand becoming so established that competitors now appear derivative of them, not the other way around.Perhaps most revolutionary is their approach to marketing and pricing transparency. Tucker shares why they've moved away from pay-per-click advertising after discovering their branded leads convert at 3.5 to 4 times higher value. He also details their groundbreaking GetQuote tool, which provides instant online estimates to potential customers – a direct challenge to the industry's standard "call for pricing" model that frustrates so many consumers.Whether you're running a family business, working in the trades, or simply interested in authentic branding strategies, this episode offers invaluable insights on creating lasting success through transparency, consistent values, and strong leadership.

When you're deep in the world of disability parenting, it's easy to feel like every day is the same. The meds. The appointments. The routine that doesn't seem to change much, even as the years go by.In this episode, Marci returns to share what life looks like now, two and a half years after her conversation about grieving her daughter Freya's intellectual disability. Sheopens up about the slow pace of progress, the grief that still sneaks up on her, and how, while parts of Freya's disabilities are difficult, her family cherishes and celebrates Freya's joy in the day to day.We also talk about the messy emotions of school decisions, the heartbreak of communication barriers, and why disability has pulled Marci into the world of politics—whether she likes it or not.If you've ever felt caught between acceptance and grief, you'll feel right at home in this one.Links:Listen to Ep 114: Grieving Our Children's IntellectualDisabilities + Facing Our Internalized Ableism with Marci Dunning.Follow Marci on Instagram @ freyasluckyarm!Follow us on Instagram @the_rare_life!Join The Rare Life newsletter and never miss an update!Fill out our contact form to joinupcoming discussion groups!Donate to the podcast or Contact me about sponsoring an episode.Follow the Facebook page.

26-year-old Emory Futo Jr., his father's namesake, had a childhood that was anything but normal, but he was now a grown man determined to change for the better. To those on the outside, the Futos were settling into a picture-perfect life—a new stucco home on a quiet cul-de-sac in sunny California, a far cry from his upbringing in St. Louis, Missouri. Neighbors later told police the couple was quiet, well-liked, and unremarkable. And in 1990, Joshua arrived—their firstborn.  From the outside, it was the picture of the American dream but every family has secrets. And the Futo family had many.

Transcript:Hi: गोवा के सुनहरी समुद्र तट पर, धूप अपनी पूरी शिद्दत से चमक रही थी।En: On the golden beaches of Goa, the sun was shining with all its intensity.Hi: नारियल के पेड़ अपनी शाखाओं को हवा में लहराते हुए सुरमई आकाश से बातें कर रहे थे।En: The coconut trees, waving their branches in the breeze, seemed to be conversing with the azure sky.Hi: समुद्र की लहरें किनारे को चूमते हुए मधुर संगीत बजा रही थीं।En: The waves of the ocean played a sweet melody as they kissed the shore.Hi: इसी बीच, एक परिवार अपने रिश्तों को नया आकार देने की कोशिश में जुटा था।En: Meanwhile, a family was engaged in an attempt to reshape their relationships.Hi: अनया, एक सजीधजी युवती, धीमे कदमों से तट की ओर बढ़ रही थी।En: Anaya, a well-dressed young woman, was walking slowly toward the shore.Hi: उसके मन में हलचल थी।En: Her mind was in turmoil.Hi: सिंगापुर में अपने करियर को नया मुकाम देने के लिए उसने सबकुछ पीछे छोड़ दिया था।En: She had left everything behind to advance her career in Singapore.Hi: पर इस फैसले ने उसके और उसके परिवार के बीच अनकहा फासला पैदा कर दिया। खासकर उसके भाई कबीर के साथ।En: But this decision had created an unspoken distance between her and her family, especially with her brother Kabir.Hi: कबीर, भारत में रहकर अपनी पेंटिंग में खो जाने वाला कलाकार, जिसकी हर कला में आजादी की झलक थी।En: Kabir, an artist lost in his painting in India, whose every artwork reflected freedom.Hi: दोनों के बीच खटास थी, लेकिन गोवा का यह मिलन शायद उन्हें नई राह पर ले आए।En: There was tension between them, but this meeting in Goa might guide them onto a new path.Hi: मीरा, जो दोनों की कज़िन थी, हमेशा मुस्कुराती और परिवार में मिठास घोलने का प्रयास करती।En: Mira, who was their cousin, always smiled and tried to infuse sweetness into the family.Hi: उसकी कोशिश थी कि इस मुलाकात में अनया और कबीर अपने मतभेद भुला दें।En: Her effort was to make Anaya and Kabir forget their differences at this meeting.Hi: मीरा की पहल पर सबने गोवा के इस तट पर पिकनिक का निर्णय लिया था।En: At Mira's suggestion, everyone had decided on a picnic at this beach in Goa.Hi: गर्मियों का समय था, और समुद्र की ठंडी हवा सभी को राहत दे रही थी।En: It was summertime, and the cool breeze from the sea was providing everyone with relief.Hi: अनया ने निर्णय लिया कि वह कबीर से बातचीत करेगी और उसकी दृष्टिकोण समझने की कोशिश करेगी।En: Anaya decided she would talk to Kabir and try to understand his perspective.Hi: पर कबीर का मन आजकल अनकहे शब्दों में ही लिपटा था।En: But lately, Kabir was wrapped in unspoken words.Hi: तभी अचानक बादलों की गड़गड़ाहट ने सभी को चौंका दिया।En: Suddenly, the rumbling of clouds surprised everyone.Hi: एक तेज़ आंधी आने का संकेत था।En: It was a sign of a strong storm.Hi: सब जल्दी से पास की एक छोटी सी झोपड़ी में छिप गए।En: They quickly took shelter in a small nearby hut.Hi: अचानक मिली इस निजी जगह में, अनया और कबीर को अपने द्वंद को सामने लाना पड़ा।En: In this sudden private space, Anaya and Kabir had to confront their conflict.Hi: मीरा ने पहल की, "देखो, तुम दोनों के बिना ये परिवार अधूरा है।En: Mira initiated, "Look, without the two of you, this family is incomplete.Hi: हर किसी को अपनी जगह चाहिए। चाहें वो गोवा हो या सिंगापुर।"En: Everyone needs their own space, whether it's Goa or Singapore."Hi: अनया ने कबीर की आँखों में झांकते हुए कहा, "भाई, मुझे अपनी पहचान बनाना जरूरी लगा, लेकिन मैं तुम सबसे दूर नहीं जाना चाहती थी।"En: Anaya, looking into Kabir's eyes, said, "Brother, I felt the need to make my own identity, but I never wanted to go far from you all."Hi: कबीर ने कुछ क्षण सोच कर कहा, "मुझे तुम्हारी उपलब्धियाँ देखकर गर्व होता है।En: Kabir, after thinking for a moment, said, "I feel proud seeing your achievements.Hi: लेकिन तुम्हारे बिना भी लगता है कि कुछ चूका है।"En: But without you, it also feels like something is missing."Hi: तूफान की गड़गड़ाहट के बीच यह बातचीत चेहरों पर मुस्कान ले आई।En: Amidst the storm's rumbling, this conversation brought smiles to their faces.Hi: तूफान थमने लगा, और दिलों के बीच भी जमी बर्फ पिघलने लगी।En: The storm began to subside, and the ice between their hearts began to melt.Hi: अनया और कबीर ने समझा कि दूरियां भले ही भौगोलिक हों, मगर उनका रिश्ता मजबूत है अगर वे एक-दूसरे को समझें।En: Anaya and Kabir understood that distances may be geographical, but their relationship is strong if they understand one another.Hi: अब अनया ने तय किया कि वह दूर रहते हुए भी परिवार के साथ जुड़े रहने के लिए समय निकालेगी।En: Now, Anaya decided she would make time to stay connected with her family even while being apart.Hi: क्योंकि आजादी और परिवार का संबंध साथ चल सकते हैं, बस चाहत और समझ चाहिए।En: Because freedom and family relations can go hand in hand, only the desire and understanding are needed.Hi: समुद्र तट पर वापसी के समय, सूरज की किरणें समुद्र पर झिलमिला रही थीं।En: As they returned to the beach, the sun's rays twinkled on the ocean.Hi: परिवार का हर सदस्य हंसी-खुशी से लबरेज़ था, अनया के चेहरे पर एक नई चमक थी, जैसे वह खोई हुई जड़ों को फिर से पा रही हो।En: Every family member was filled with laughter and happiness, and Anaya's face had

Live from the Borgata in Atlantic City, the 94 WIP Morning Show wonders if the Phillies can make the playoffs. Eliot Shorr-Parks believes they can't, but Joe DeCamara thinks they just need a better hitter. Today's side topic is the best TV and movie role combinations, like Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly in Back to the Future and Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties.

The side topic today for the 94 WIP Morning Show: what's the best combination of TV and movie role for example, Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly in Back to the Future as well as Alex P Keaton in Family Ties.

I’ve known for years that the actor and filmmaker Justine Bateman had prescient thoughts about art and society. But now, we need her (and her complementary background in computer science) more than ever. Far-removed from her teen stardom on Family Ties, Justine and I talk about how artificial intelligence threatens the existence of movies, books, and even our creative souls. I knew there was something to opting for privacy, and it turns out that Justine specifically sees it as a way to protect art as we know it. Plus, we discuss how fickle fame can be and why she finds beauty and practicality in aging naturally. Fail Better is now on YouTube! Watch this episode here. Follow me on Instagram at @davidduchovny.
