Lured Up Podcast 352Live Streamed on - 7/2/2025Audio & VoD Publish Date - 7/4/2025We started this episode with ambitious intentions. We had planned to cover the onslaught of news and events that packed the July calendar, and discuss the monetization shift the gameplay flow has seen over the last few months. Instead, we ended up talking shop about GO Fest Global for the entire show! The GO Fest Global weekend was incredible and was filled with amazing gameplay and core memories. Adam shares his experiences playing with the Tri-City Pokémon GO group out of Rochester, NH and Ken talks about his NJ tour to 6 different Community Ambassador meetups.This weekend brought out the best in the Community, and Ken learned a ton simply by getting out of Red Bank. From exceptionally chill vibes in Hudson County, NJ to the diehard Trainers in Essex County, the event amplified just how many different ways this game can be enjoyed.Not only is the game played by so many different walks of life, but the areas of the game that are important to different Trainers was completely diverse. With some Communities just there to hang out with friends, to others tracking their hundos to the last minute of the event. In the end, it was all about friends getting together to share their passion in an environment filled with positivity. This was definitely a fun episode, with a ton of laughs, interaction with the chat, and both hosts using their Gold Bottle Caps. Against the wishes of the chat, Adam decided to Hyper Train 3 HP points on his Shiny Zamazenta with a NJ Background. It was one of the most fun moments we have had on the podcast ever, with the chat nearly falling out of their chairs. Ken decided to take a fun Pokémon, Rockstar Pikachu, and take it from Nundo to Hundo. Something tells me that Adam will be done a lot sooner than Ken will be!Huge thank you to all of the new viewers and listeners this week.

"He's just mad at me cause I'm not trying to f&*k": Police Bodycam of Exotic Dancer in Stolen Car On October 27, 2023 at around 7:40 PM Officer Joseph Fuardo with the Secaucus Police Department observed a gray colored Honda CRV swerving on the road with no lights on. As Officer Fuardo began his investigation he noted that the vehicle had a single white female occupant within. A check of the vehicle registration revealed the vehicle to be stolen out of Patterson, NJ. As Officer Fuardo prepared to conduct a felony stop on the vehicle he awaited additional backup officers. Once backup arrived a felony traffic stop was initiated. While attempting to instruct the driver to exit the vehicle, the vehicle began backing, colliding with the push bumper of Ofc. Fuardo's police vehicle. Eventually, the driver of the vehicle, later identified as Rosemary Torres, was removed and detained as the sole occupant of the vehicle. Torres stated upon exiting the vehicle: “I didn't know the car was stolen, he didn't tell me it was stolen. He's just mad at me cause I'm not trying to fuck”. Torres was secured in the rear of a police vehicle while the investigation into the recovery of the stolen vehicle was conducted. While in custody, Torres made statements to another on-scene officer that the owner of the vehicle had left the keys on the table at the strip club. Torres stated “I saw it, I took it” with regard to the vehicle keys left on the table at the strip club. Further conversation with Torres revealed that she dances at the club where the theft occurred, Sunrise Sports Go Go Strip Club in Patterson, NJ. Officer Fuardo then, in furtherance of his investigation conducted field sobriety tests on Torres in which the video shows Torres being unable to follow instructions or balance herself several times. Torres is then placed back into the rear of the police vehicle. No charges for DWI were placed against her in reference to this incident. Torres was eventually transported to the police station for processing and later remanded to the Hudson County jail for an outstanding warrant and a new charge of receiving stolen property for being in possession of the stolen vehicle. It does not appear at this time that Torres has been charged by Patterson for the actual theft of the vehicle.

A story of unimaginable trauma, unwavering courage, and the transformative power of #justice and support. As a young girl, Krystan endured the horrific reality of domestic abuse at the hands of her stepfather. His violence extended to her mother, culminating in a chilling act of arson – he set her mother on fire. ▷ A Childhood Marred by Fear and Violence Krystan's childhood was a far cry from the safe and nurturing environment every child deserves. Her stepfather's abusive behavior created an atmosphere of constant fear and insecurity. The physical, emotional, and psychological torment he inflicted left deep scars on Krystan's young mind. Despite the fear that gripped her, Krystan knew she couldn't remain silent. She sought justice for herself and her mother by pursuing legal action against her stepfather. This decision marked the beginning of a daunting journey, but Krystan was determined to find her voice and reclaim her life. ▷ A Landmark Court Case and a Beacon of Hope with one time Prosector Bob Bianchi Krystan's case found its way to the courtroom, where she faced the daunting task of confronting her abuser and recounting the harrowing details of her ordeal. With the unwavering support of former prosecutor Robert Bianchi, a champion of victims' rights, Krystan bravely stepped forward to seek justice. The trial was a grueling process, demanding Krystan's resilience and determination. Yet, she stood tall, her voice resonating with the truth of her experiences, despite the remembrance of the terrible act of violence on Krystan's, leading to her mother's untimely death. Bob Bianchi's expertise and unwavering commitment to justice proved invaluable, guiding Krystan through the complexities of the legal system. In the end, Krystan's courage and Bob's unwavering support in the law cumulated in a moment of justice. Her stepfather was convicted and sentenced to prison, marking a significant victory for Krystan and her mother. But beyond the legal outcome, Krystan's case served as a beacon of hope for other survivors of domestic abuse. ▷ Bob Bianchi: A Pillar of Support Throughout Krystan's journey, Bob Bianchi and his team remained a steadfast pillar of support. He recognized the profound trauma she had endured and provided her with the emotional and legal guidance she needed to navigate the complexities of her case. Overcoming Trauma and Finding Hope Krystan's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Despite the trauma she endured, she emerged from her experience stronger and more determined. Her journey is a reminder that healing is possible, even in the face of unimaginable adversity. A Message of Hope and Healing Krystan's message is one of hope and empowerment for survivors of domestic abuse. She encourages victims to seek help, reminding them that they are not alone. Her story is a powerful call to action, urging us to stand with victims and fight for their justice. ▷ Resources for Survivors of Domestic Abuse If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, there are resources available to help. Here are a few organizations that can provide support: State of #NewJersey Department of Children & Families https://www.nj.gov/dcf/women/hotlines/ The National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: https://ncadv.org/ The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence: https://www.thehotline.org/ Together, we can break the silence and create a world free from #domesticviolence. With Your Host Bob Bianchi and David Bruno #NothingButTheTruth "I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Bianchi during a murder trial when he was a prosecutor in Hudson County. I was able to witness first hand how he handled the case with integrity, honesty, and a tireless commitment to his client's well-being. Now Mr. Bianchi and his team of former prosecutors turned criminal defense lawyers embodies an exceptional blend of experience and unwavering dedication to their clients and the principles of the justice. If you are in need of legal representation, their services are highly recommended for their commitment to justice and their outstanding track record of delivering top-tier legal support."

Gianni and Milly-May McLaughlin, the creators of the award-winning independent mob film "Bless Me Father," join the Burn Down Podcast to share their unique story and how they made their own movie.   In August 2020, when their lavish destination wedding was canceled due to the pandemic, Gianni and Milly-May McLaughlin decided to use the money to pursue their passion for filmmaking. Their debut feature film, "Bless Me Father," set primarily in Hudson County, New Jersey, follows Vinny Dapello, a hitman for the New Jersey Italian Mob who is killing the same man who killed his father. Vinny, portrayed by Gianni, confesses his sins, and unveils the dirty history of his life.

Kathleen Smith's first career was as a lawyer, particularly an assistant prosecutor working in juvenile justice in New Jersey's Hudson County. Smith loved her work, but after giving birth to the second of her three children her career became overwhelming, and she gave it up to raise them. After fifteen years away from her industry, Smith found herself with no connections and no idea what to do next. Feeling stuck, she decided to reach out to other women in the same predicament for inspiration. She traveled around the country interviewing women on video, a project that grew into the lifestyle website MorphMom.com. Smith went on to teach classes and speak at conferences before launching a radio show, a podcast, and most recently a television show. Listen in to her conversation with CoveyClub founder,  Lesley Jane Seymour, to learn how she handled the challenges of starting all over from scratch and mastered working from home in a post-Covid world. Smith also shares her advice for starting your own business and for avoiding the mistakes most people make when first stepping into entrepreneurship.  FREE GIFT! Don't start your reinvention without downloading CoveyClub's starter guide called “31 Badass Tips for Launching Your Reinvention Without Fear!”   Bio: Kathleen Butler Smith is the founder of morphmom.com. After graduating from Holy Cross and from Georgetown Law, she served as an Assistant Prosecutor in Hudson County, New Jersey for six years. She stopped working following the birth of her second child, and later discovered that re-entering the workforce would be difficult. Kathleen quickly noticed that she was not alone and that there were, in fact, many women who found themselves in a similar position, struggling to discover their next step, be it work related, volunteer-based, or simply rediscovering their passion. She began to chronicle the inspirational stories of women (whom she named "Morphmoms") who had managed to chart their own course with the hope of helping other women do the same. Since its launch in 2012, Morphmom has become a platform to promote and to support these women and their remarkable stories. Kathleen and her husband, Jim, have three children in various stages of leaving the nest.   Key Links: Website Facebook LinkedIn Instagram Twitter   Join CoveyClub: If you like what you hear, you can support the CoveyCast podcast with a five-star rating, and subscribe to CoveyClub for more inspiring conversations. 

The right resources will get you going, But the right mindset will get you far.   Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Noha Polack, accomplished board-certified pediatrician and owner of Progressive Pediatrics. From working for a bankrupt business to growing her own, Noha's story is an inspiration for all entrepreneurs. Tune in to learn about the life lessons she'd developed over years of trial and error.   3 KEY POINTS: Build your brand. Hire the right people. Always go beyond when serving clients.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 22 years ago, Noha decided to create her own work environment after experiencing unfavorable working conditions. Marketing was different back then. Noha did face-to-face speaking engagements in childbirth education classes to market herself. Back in 2009. Noha took on a mutual friend's business and grew it significantly. Noha boosted her Social Media presence through YouTube videos and Facebook Live videos. Find a superstar for your front desk with an intelligent, understanding, and eloquent voice. Find physicians who mesh with your mindset so there's consistency in your practice. When hiring people, no one finds the right fit right away. It takes a little trial and error. When hiring, ask them what they want from the job besides money. If money is all they want, that's not the right fit. Post about other things aside from your primary practice. Noha highly recommends listening to the EntreMD Podcast by Dr. Una, as she considers it to be greatly instrumental in her journey. To avoid burnout, remember to take care of your health by taking frequent rests.   TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Go one or two steps beyond what others are doing.” – Noha Polack “You can go and make money anywhere, but if you don't enjoy the work, it's unlikely you're going to be good at it or stick to it.” – Noha Polack   CONNECT WITH JASON DUPRAT LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Youtube Email: support@jasonduprat.com   ABOUT THE GUEST Noha Polack, MD, is an accomplished board-certified pediatrician in Hudson County and proud owner of Progressive Pediatrics. Dr. Polack was an employed physician since 1996 before her employer went bankrupt and soon decided to start her own private practice in the year 2000.
