    John Catsimatidis, Owner & Operator of Red Apple Media, calls into the program to discuss his concerns about the future of New York City, particularly under the potential leadership of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Reflecting on past mayoral administrations and current political dynamics, Catsimatidis also contemplates the regret of not having run for mayor himself.

Laura also shares her experience with postpartum depression and multiple miscarriages, including a deeply personal account of suffering a miscarriage while performing on a cruise ship, with her six-year-old daughter singing beside her. She reflects on the lack of public dialogue around pregnancy loss and why she felt compelled to speak out.

    In this episode, we're joined by three advocates who have worked to raise the personal needs allowance (PNA) and improve the quality of life for nursing home residents in their states. The PNA is a small portion of income that Medicaid nursing home residents can keep each month to cover personal expenses such as clothing, snacks, cell phone bills, and other essentials that make life more comfortable. The federal minimum PNA has not been raised since 1987 and remains just $30 a month, less than one dollar a day. While states can set higher amounts, they currently range from $30 to $200 a month, leaving most residents with only $2 to $3 per day for discretionary spending. Join us as we hear from Bill Lamb, a lifelong advocate in North Carolina, along with resident advocates Ray DiFrancesco of New Jersey, and Jeanette Martinez of Connecticut, as they share their experiences raising the PNA in their states and their advice for others working toward the same goal.

    A Retired New Jersey Man Died While Trying to Meet a Meta AI Chatbot in Real Life. His Family Says He Believed She Was Real.A 73-year-old man from New Jersey died after attempting to travel to California to meet a Meta AI chatbot he believed was a real person. His family says he had become emotionally attached to the digital persona and tried to meet her in person, convinced she was alive.William Stefanik, a retired systems analyst and former college instructor, left his home in Toms River and drove more than 2,800 miles across the country in a car packed with food and gifts. He intended to meet “Billie,” a fictional character created by Meta's AI chatbot service. Billie is an AI character modeled after a young influencer, part of Meta's push to populate its platform with interactive digital personas. Each AI has its own backstory, appearance, and scripted personality.William's daughter, Karissa Stefanik, said her father didn't realize Billie was a chatbot. She said he believed she was a real person and that he had developed a romantic relationship with her through Facebook Messenger. Karissa described her father as vulnerable and isolated. He had lost his wife years earlier and had little social contact. He found companionship online, and eventually became fixated on Billie.Meta's AI character Billie presents herself as a 19-year-old Gen Z sister-type figure who offers dating advice and emotional support. Her chatbot profile is built to create the illusion of conversation, with friendly slang, emojis, and references to pop culture. Although Meta clearly labels its AI personas with badges identifying them as artificial, the design of the interaction mimics typical human chat, which creates ambiguity for users like Stefanik.William left home in early August without telling anyone. He left behind his phone, which investigators say he may have abandoned to prevent tracking. He traveled for days in a car filled with pillows, water, and snacks. Karissa says he was preparing to sleep in his vehicle and meet Billie somewhere near Los Angeles, where she believed he thought she lived. William died in a single-vehicle crash in Arizona on August 13, three days before his daughter filed a missing persons report. Authorities believe he fell asleep behind the wheel and drifted off the road.Karissa found out about her father's online relationship when she accessed his computer after his death. She discovered thousands of messages exchanged between him and the chatbot. Many of the conversations were emotional and romantic in tone. She says the chatbot encouraged long chats, asked probing personal questions, and used affectionate language. She described the relationship as manipulative, especially for someone who was lonely and aging.Meta's AI assistant system launched in 2023 with several celebrity-inspired bots, each tied to real or fictional personalities. Billie, the character William interacted with, is based on media influencer Kendall Jenner. While the interface uses Jenner's likeness and voice through synthetic video and audio, the company makes clear in small print and digital badges that the personalities are not real. Karissa argues that this is not enough, especially for older users. She says Meta made it too easy to mistake these bots for real people, especially when the conversations include personal affirmations and romantic language.William's daughter has since demanded that Meta take accountability. She wants the company to build stronger protections for users who are vulnerable to manipulation. She says the platform should not allow chatbots to imitate intimacy without clear boundaries. She called the experience deceptive and said it preyed on people who are already isolated or struggling. According to her, the chatbot used phrases like "I love talking to you" and "You're so sweet" in a way that encouraged emotional attachment.Meta has not publicly commented on William's death.

    Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges"

    Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. In the quiet coastal city of Palm Coast, Florida, Dr. Svetlana “Lana” Kirchevshy-Ur is known for her compassion and dedication. A highly trained Hospice and Palliative Medicine Physician, with an Internal Medicine background and years of experience in nursing, homecare, and hemodialysis, Lana's life seemed firmly rooted in the world of medicine. But behind the white coat is a woman who has been navigating a storm few could imagine. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Her journey is deeply intertwined with her husband, David Ur, a former Marion County Sheriff's Office Deputy. David's path to law enforcement was not a casual career choice, it was a calling. “He came from a long family line of Police Officers,” Lana recalls. “He wanted this more than anything. It was a dream he worked hard to achieve, even later in life.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The couple moved from New Jersey to Florida while Lana was completing her medical residency in Gainesville. On May 14, 2020, at the age of 45, David was hired by the Marion County Sheriff's Office after graduating from the police academy and completing field training. His first assignment in the patrol division began that August. Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . But within months, tensions began to surface. According to David's complaint, his reporting style clashed with the department's expectations. On May 10, 2021, less than a year into the job, David resigned “under duress” after being threatened with criminal charges for making “false reports.” Two days later, those threats became reality. David was arrested on four counts of making false official statements, charges stemming from a drug arrest incident where, according to Lana, “there were no allegations of any crime committed by my husband.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The legal battle stretched for years. “The State Attorney's Office kept refiling and changing charges,” Lana explains. “But in the end, 18 of the 20 charges were dismissed by a judge, and the last two were dropped.” Despite the outcome, the damage was lasting. David remains on the Fifth Circuit State Attorney's Brady list, which flags law enforcement officers with alleged credibility concerns. Inclusion on that list effectively blocks him from working in law enforcement anywhere else. The “Ocala Gazette” reported on October 4, 2024, that questions remain about how the Brady list is applied, noting that some officers with internal dishonesty findings weren't listed, while others were included for what appeared to be procedural mistakes. For David, the listing is more than a bureaucratic footnote, it is a career-ending label. Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Lana speaks about the ordeal with a mix of heartbreak and resilience. “We endured things I never imagined we would, public accusations, fear for our safety, financial strain. And yet, through it all, we had to keep moving forward.” After her residency, the couple relocated to Palm Coast for safety reasons. There, they found an unexpected new chapter. Together, they operate Rustic Dough Works, a pizza trailer that quickly became a local favorite. “It's our way of rebuilding, you can find us on Facebook, we post where we'll be, and the community has been amazing.” But the legal fight isn't over. David is exploring options to return to law enforcement and has filed lawsuits against the Marion County Sheriff's Office. “We believe in accountability,” Lana emphasizes. “What happened to David could happen to others. People need to know our story.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Their experience has become more than a private tragedy, it's now a public conversation about law, fairness, and the human cost of flawed systems. Through interviews, news features, and appearances on podcasts available on Apple and Spotify, Lana and David share their journey, using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to connect with others who have faced similar struggles. “This is bigger than us,” Lana says. “It's about standing up when the truth matters more than the consequences.” Her Husband Was Arrested For "False Charges". Her Journey and Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. From a respected physician's office to the heat of a pizza oven, from the streets of Marion County to the feeds of social media, their story is a reminder that resilience can take many forms.

    Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection
    The Art of Loving Rebuke: Moshe's Tactful & Gentle Critique (Parsha Power: Bamidbar)

    Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 17, 2025 29:35


    In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into Parshas Devarim, the opening portion of the Book of Deuteronomy, which serves as a review (Mishneh Torah) of the Torah's teachings, encapsulating Moses' final remarks to the Jewish people. Rabbi Wolbe focuses on the first verse (Deuteronomy 1:1), which lists seemingly extraneous locations—such as the wilderness, Arava, and Dizahav—where Moses spoke to the Israelites. Quoting Rashi, he explains that these are veiled critiques of the Jewish people's past sins, including the complaints after Egypt, the Midianite women, the spies, the manna, Korach's rebellion, and the Golden Calf. Moses delivers these critiques gently to avoid direct confrontation, reflecting the Torah's sensitivity to prevent embarrassment.Rabbi Wolbe ties this to the upcoming month of Elul, a time for introspection and gentle self-critique, and shares his grandfather's advice to young husbands to avoid critiquing their wives for three years to preserve their relationship. He references a Talmudic teaching from Yevamot 65b, which mandates offering constructive criticism only when it will be accepted, and withholding it otherwise, emphasizing that effective critique requires knowing the recipient well and prioritizing their growth over personal catharsis. Rabbi Wolbe recounts a story about Rabbi Yaakov Galinsky visiting Rabbi Hetskel Levenstein during shiva, where Levenstein lamented that no one offered him introspective critique about his wife's passing, unlike the sages who lovingly prompted Rav Huna to reflect on his loss of 400 barrels of wine (Tractate Berachot 5b). This underscores the value of constructive feedback from trusted friends. Rabbi Wolbe encourages embracing criticism as a path to self-improvement, as taught in Ethics of the Fathers (6:6), and warns against arrogance that rejects critique. He concludes by urging listeners to use gentle, loving critique to foster personal growth and prepare for Rosh Hashanah, wishing all a meaningful Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.40) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Bamidbar is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Studios (C) to an online TORCHzoom.com audience on August 15, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on August 17, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

But rather than apologize, the owners demanded the mother provide them with her ID and credit card to cover the cost of the table, while seemingly taking zero responsibility for what could have been a much more serious situation in which they hold all the liability. Then we move on to yet another wild TikTok drama involving a woman named "KaylaLaughsOutLoud", who has gained a following for her videos that revolve around her career as a "mystery shopper". But people have come to find that her videos are not exactly what she portrays them to be.  We Love the Internets: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6u96KHu/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNMVIBaNHvw/ 00:00 - Introduction 08:39 - $1600 Table Disaster 43:50 - Mystery Shopper Exposed 1:31:54 - We Love the Internet We hope you enjoyed this episode!

    Join us for an enlightening discussion with Dr. Fawad Mian, a New Jersey-based neurologist and expert in regenerative medicine, as he shares his fascinating journey from being a patient to becoming a leading voice in his field. Dr. Mian recounts his initial fascination with neurology, driven by the challenge of helping stroke patients and others with debilitating conditions. He opens up about his personal experiences with injuries, such as a painful shoulder and foot issues, which led him to seek alternative treatments beyond traditional pain management. Through his own quest for healing, he discovered prolotherapy, an innovative regenerative treatment that allowed him to overcome his injuries and regain an active lifestyle. Dr. Mian's story highlights the transformative potential of regenerative medicine for chronic pain and injuries. Listen in as we explore practical strategies for overcoming pain naturally and making healthier lifestyle choices. We'll share insights on starting with small, manageable changes in diet and exercise, and examine real-life cases where unconventional methods, like ultrasound for nerve issues and PRP therapy for shoulder injuries, have brought about remarkable improvements. Our conversation also touches on the importance of exploring alternative treatments for long-term health benefits, and I discuss my self-help book, written during the pandemic, offering readers tools to enhance their health through alternative healing methods, dietary changes, mindfulness, and meditation.

    Nicole joins us from New Jersey to share her powerful, decade-long journey with endometriosis—a story marked by misdiagnoses, medical gaslighting, and unrelenting pain. Labeled with everything from IBS to anxiety, Nicole saw countless doctors across multiple specialties, yet none could give her the answers she desperately needed. It wasn't until she underwent excision surgery with a true endometriosis specialist that the truth was revealed: 73 lesions removed from her bladder, uterus, colon, rectum, appendix, and two endometriomas—one larger than her uterus.Nicole founded Endo Excision For All: a nonprofit fighting for access to gold-standard care, especially for those failed by the system. In a world where excision surgery still isn't properly covered by insurance, Nicole is leading the charge for change so others won't have to suffer the way she did.Follow Nicole's work and advocacy:

    During the annual World Series of Birding in New Jersey, US, teams compete to see who can identify the most bird species in 24 hours. For team Galbatross the goal is different and much harder - they only identify female birds. This self-imposed restriction is a form of activism, calling into question centuries of ornithology that has focused primarily on male birds, with their bright plumage, elaborate dances, and loud songs. We follow team Galbatross as they attempt to break their own record for the most female birds spotted during the World Series of Birding. We also hear from scientists and birders alike about how we got where we are, and how expanding science to be more inclusive of species of all genders can change our perspective on ourselves and the environment.
