Sounds reliever Brian Fitzpatrick sits down with Jeff Hem on the pregame show to talk about his huge outing the night before in Durham for himself and the team, his first appearances since coming up from Double-A Biloxi, the keys for him to have success at 6'7" tall, and his Long Island, New York roots.
The rise and fall of William J. Levitt, the man who made the suburban house a mass commodity. Two material artifacts defined the middle-class American lifestyle in the mid-twentieth century: the automobile, which brought gas stations, highways, commercial strips, and sprawl; and the single-family suburban home, the repository of many families' long-term wealth. While the man who did the most to make the automobile a mass commodity—Henry Ford—is well known, few know the story of the man who did the same for the suburban house. Edward Berenson describes the remarkable career of William Levitt, who did more than anyone else to create the modern suburb. In response to an unprecedented housing shortage as veterans returned home from World War II, his Levittown developments provided inexpensive mass-produced housing that was wildly popular—prospective buyers would camp out in line for two days for the chance to put down a deposit on a Levitt house. He was a celebrity, a life-changing hero to tens of thousands, and the pitchman of a renewed American Dream. But Levitt also shared Ford's dark side. He refused to allow Black people to buy or rent in his developments and doggedly defended this practice against legal challenges. Leading the way for other developers who emulated his actions, he helped ensure that suburbs nationwide remained white enclaves. These legacies are still with us. Levitt made a major contribution to the stubborn wealth disparity between white families and Black families, and his solution to the housing crisis of the 1940s—the detached house and surrounding yard—is a primary cause of the housing crisis today. As a person, Levitt was a strangely guileless and tragic figure. He accumulated vast wealth but, after losing control of his building company, surrendered it all through foolish investments and a lavish lifestyle that included a Long Island mansion and a two-hundred-foot yacht. Just weeks before his death, as a charity patient in a hospital to which he had once given millions, he was still imagining his great comeback. Edward Berenson is a professor of history at New York University and director of its Institute of French Studies. His books include Europe in the Modern World, The Statue of Liberty: A Transatlantic Story, and The Accusation. He lives in Tarrytown, NY. Learn more about your ad choices.

The New Orleans rock band Zebra has always existed out of time. Despite having one of the fastest selling debuts in Atlantic Records' history, Zebra never really fit in with the glammed up ‘80s metal bands they were being lumped in with on the pages and airwaves of Hit Parader and MTV. But that apparent inability to fit in may be exactly what endeared them to hordes of avid listeners who would wear out their bare bones cassette of ZEBRA and eventually go to Kmart and stealthily rip open a vinyl copy of the record to steal the lyric sheet so he could figure out what Randy Jackson was singing. Okay. We may be talking about Scott here. ANYWAY — this week we're thrilled to welcome Mr. Jackson to the podcast to talk about the 50th anniversary of Zebra, recording with Jack Douglas, being a rock band in New Orleans, being a rock band in Long Island, befriending Twisted Sister, touring with Cheap Trick, seeing The Beatles live, being forced to talk about Bon Jovi, and the lyrical prowess of the Moody Blues. And more black beans.

Dr. Linda Varisco had it all — a wealthy upbringing in Long Island, a thriving chiropractic business, and a picture-perfect life. But when her marriage to a crack-addicted, cheating husband imploded, her world spiraled out of control. In a shocking twist, she got entangled with a criminal enterprise running through her business, leading to federal charges for conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud. In this entertaining and unfiltered interview, Dr. Varisco reveals how she went from living in luxury to serving a year and a day in federal prison — and how she rebuilt her life from the ground up. #PrisonStories #TrueCrimeInterviews #WhiteCollarCrime #RedemptionStory #WomenInPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLife #lockedinwithianbick Buy her books: Book 1: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Million-Dollar-Smile/dp/B0DQHB6RF6 Book 2: https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Right-Million-Dollar-Smile/dp/B0FB3QNQYW/ref=pd_bxgy_thbs_d_sccl_1/145-3040682-0764748?pd_rd_w=D8Nbx&content-id=amzn1.sym.dcf559c6-d374-405e-a13e-133e852d81e1&pf_rd_p=dcf559c6-d374-405e-a13e-133e852d81e1&pf_rd_r=3YCY59SGYR34T4NQT3WQ&pd_rd_wg=BLygp&pd_rd_r=f534e269-9786-4ee8-bb4b-aec22fae8cac&pd_rd_i=B0FB3QNQYW&psc=1 Follow her: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelifeofmrpeaches?lang=en Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Prison Stories & Bunkmate Drama 00:22 Introduction: Dr. Linda's Dramatic Life 01:46 Growing Up in Long Island 02:44 Family, Upbringing, and Parental Influence 05:33 Education, College and Career Choices 07:37 Switching to Chiropractic: Inspiration & Path 10:12 Starting Out as a Chiropractor 13:10 Early Business Partnerships and Trouble 16:02 Moving On: Cancun, Romance, & New Beginnings 18:08 Meeting Her Husband & Building the Business 21:02 Business Growth and Early Warnings 23:32 Betrayal, Lawsuits, and Business Collapse 25:43 Family Changes & Financial Struggles 28:08 Discovering Addiction & Heartbreak 32:32 Separation, Divorce, and Parental Challenges 36:46 The Aftermath: Rebuilding Business and Life 41:46 The Wrong Business Partners 44:35 The Big Mistake: Letting Others In 46:32 Warning Signs, Rapid Growth, and Anxiety 49:35 The FBI Raid: Clinic Seized 53:14 The Criminal Case & Legal Nightmare 57:04 Facing Federal Charges 01:00:01 The Trial, Plea, & Sentencing 01:04:09 Processing Prison & Self-Surrender 01:10:07 Prison Life: Friendships, Adjustment & Survival 01:16:16 Daily Reality & Finding Community in Prison 01:23:00 Loss, Tragedy, and Emotional Stories in Prison 01:26:30 Release, Halfway House, and Life After Prison 01:29:37 Rebuilding: New Career and Identity 01:33:31 Public Perception, Judgment, and Sharing the Story 01:36:01 Resilience and Lessons Learned 01:36:44 Final Thoughts, Humor, and Farewell Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

In August of 2000, Pearl Jam was going through a period of growth following the aftermath of the tragedy at Roskilde. As they toured throughout North America, every stop was a chance to heal from that moment. As they hit close to the end of the month, they prepared for three massive shows at Jones Beach Amphitheater located on Long Island in the shadow of New York City. There was a sense that they needed to deliver, and they exceeded every expectation. Night 1's show might not get the same praise as the two that precede it, but it was a great way to warm up this crowd and get things kicked off on the right note. In this episode, we'll spend some time breaking down some classic Binaural performances such as Nothing As It Seems, God's Dice and Sleight Of Hand while sharing our favorite order to hear the Man Trilogy and a superb Long Road open. We'll also talk about this version of Daughter which sets the tone for the legendary Daughter and It's OK tag performance the next night. This is just part one! The next two episodes will cover the remaining Jones Beach shows from 2000, so stay tuned for our breakdown of those legendary nights!

Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 1992 comedy classic My Cousin Vinny to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “[My Cousin Vinny] is a Thanksgiving movie. -Manny This is an absolute lovefest of an episode with My Cousin Vinny quotes flying all over the place. From the start to the end there's nothing but amazing things to say about the dialogue, the comedic timing of Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, the late great Fred Gwynne, Mitchell Whitfield, Lane Smith, and Austin Pendleton. The boys try to find plot holes and come up empty, except for their star audience member Long Island artist Andrew Breen (@rocktapusjones_art) who finds one very minor issue. Manny does an amazing reenactment of Marisa Tomei's “Hunting” monologue, they go through the hilarious prison scene with Joe Pesci and Mitchell Whitfield, and the perfectly ridiculous NY character names. In the end, they determine whether this movie passes The Nostalgia Test and discuss why My Cousin Vinny is a perfect Thanksgiving movie.

We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom!

Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast.

Around this time every year, dozens of parents of high school prospects ask IL's Terry Foy some version of the question, "How does recruiting work?" In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of DI men's lacrosse coaches about their process, starting year three with UMBC head coach Ryan Moran. Leading a state university in (arguably) the sport's hottest hotbed, the Long Island native dives deep on how he and his staff try to get to know their recruits through the process, how he doesn't put timelines on players to commit, how he tries to be an educator throughout the process and much, much more.
Tim Gallin began his quest to perform in feature films and TV after attending CW Post College on Long Island, NY. His first professional job came by way of the Gong Show in August of 1978. He was a contestant on an Elvis Presley special because Chuck Barris was a fan of The King. After seeing his old high school football coach, Vic Magnotta performing in Taxi Driver, Tim picked up the phone and gave him a call. Magnotta was a stuntman, retired special forces soldier, and Vietnam veteran who became close friends with Martin Scorsese while attending NYU. That fateful phone call created for Tim an opportunity to play football in the film The Wanderers. Through Magnotta's continued offers to perform stunts, Tim met many of the people he would collaborate with over the next 45+ years. When asked about a favorite fight scene he performed in, the Marked for Death fight from the classic film F/X (1986) was Tim's immediate response – and is the starting point of this interview that covers some of Tim's epic experiences in the industry including stunt doubling Tom hanks on Splash and Steve Martin on Only Murders in the Building.
