At twenty-four, Allen Fetters is blindsided by the worst gallstone attack of his life. Too stubborn to call 911 or even a friend, he decides to drive himself to the ER, floors it down an empty road of green lights, on a collision course with a man on a bicycle crossing the intersection ahead of him. Then Richard Velazquez rewinds to Christmas Eve, 1989, eighteen and riding shotgun in his mentor's prized 1964 Mercedes after a night of cocaine, rum, and reggaeton on repeat. On the snowy New Jersey Turnpike, with three other people in the car, he hears a whooshing sound and a  tremendous bang. Thanks to So Say We All in San Diego, whose live show is where Richard first brought this story to an audience.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, we start on a note that genuinely feels like the end of something big. John Sterling has died at the age of 87, officially closing the microphone on a voice that didn't just call Yankees games—it was Yankees baseball for generations. Even if you weren't a Yankees fan (hi, yes, that's me), you knew the calls. You heard the home runs. You waited for the signature flair. And somehow, baseball is going to sound a little quieter without him… which feels wrong, because nothing about John Sterling was ever quiet.Then, because the universe has absolutely no concept of emotional pacing, tonight is the Met Gala. Yes, that Met Gala. The one where fashion reaches a level that I can only describe as “artistic confusion with a budget.” Every year I try to understand it. Every year I fail. I'm sure it's brilliant. I'm also sure someone will be dressed like a chandelier with a backstory.And finally—Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow. Tomorrow. It snuck up so fast it feels like it skipped the group chat and just showed up at the door with chips and salsa like, “Hope you're ready.” No buildup, no warning—just vibes.Just another completely normal day in New York.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, Federal authorities are investigating after a United Airlines passenger jet landing at Newark Liberty International Airport struck a light pole on the adjacent New Jersey Turnpike.Rudolph Giuliani, the ex-mayor of New York City and a former adviser to President Donald Trump, is in critical but stable condition at a hospital, his spokesman said.And in Florida, President Trump said that he was reviewing a new Iranian proposal to end the war but also expressed skepticism it would lead to a deal.

The headlines say TikTok just got “safer” under U.S. oversight—but we're not convinced that swapping one set of power brokers for another changes the core data bargain. We unpack who really gains from TikTok's algorithm shift, how investor incentives shape your feed, and whether creators and users can expect more transparency or just a new layer of control. From there, we dig into a surprising frontier in medical education: AI patients that look and sound real enough to train bedside communication. Useful? Potentially. Dangerous when overtrusted? Absolutely. We explore the promise of scalable practice and the risks of teaching empathy with a simulation that can't feel.We also take a hard look at Microsoft's push toward an AI-soaked desktop and the specter of microtransactions creeping into everyday tasks. If your computer becomes a toll road for productivity, what happens to user agency and trust—especially when forced updates already break basics like sleep mode and input devices? Add in a street-level invention that lets strangers honk to scroll your TikTok, and you get a sharp snapshot of tech's weird edge: novelty, engagement, and the fraying line between public space and content.Amid the friction, there are bright spots. A volunteer drone team uses thermal imaging to find a lost dog along the New Jersey Turnpike. A London bus driver turns a daily route into a “bubble bus,” lifting moods with simple, joyful tech. We chase the tension and the hope—how tools can serve people when we set the right boundaries, and how easy it is to drift when profits lead the way.If you enjoy smart debate with a little whiskey on the side, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend who loves tech but hates hype.

In May 1973, Assata Olugbala Shakur was involved in a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in which she was accused of killing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster and assaulting Trooper James Harper. This resulted in her indictment of first-degree murder of Foerster and seven other felonies related to the shootout. A member of the Black Panther Party, she became a prime target of the Federal Bureau of Investigations Counterintelligence Program. When she joined the Black Liberation Army and went into hiding, between 1973 and 1977, she was placed on the FBIs Most Wanted List for three bank robberies, the kidnapping and murder of two drug dealers, and the attempted murder of two New Jersey police officers. In March 1977 Assata Shakur was convicted of murdering state trooper Werner Forrester and was imprisoned. Two years later she broke out of the maximum-security wing of Clinton Correctional Facility in New Jersey, pistol in hand, as she and three cohorts sped out of the prison grounds. In 1984 she was granted political asylum in Cuba where she has lived ever since. On May 2, 2013, the FBI added her to the Most Wanted Terrorist List, the first woman to be listed. "Assata Shakur: A 20th Century Escaped Slave" is the story of Assata Shakur, before she became a fugitive and since.https://amzn.to/3VZGd6fBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

pWotD Episode 3069: Assata Shakur Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 280,211 views on Friday, 26 September 2025 our article of the day is Assata Shakur.Assata Olugbala Shakur ( ə-SAH-tə shə-KOOR; born JoAnne Deborah Byron; July 16, 1947 – September 25, 2025), also known as Joanne Chesimard, was an American political activist who was a member of the Black Liberation Army (BLA). In 1977, she was convicted in the murder of state trooper Werner Foerster during a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1973. She escaped from prison in 1979 and was wanted by the FBI, with a $1 million FBI reward for information leading to her capture, and an additional $1 million reward offered by the New Jersey attorney general.Born in Flushing, Queens, Shakur grew up in New York City and Wilmington, North Carolina. After she ran away from home several times, her aunt, who would later act as one of her lawyers, took her in. Shakur became involved in political activism at Borough of Manhattan Community College and City College of New York. After graduation she began using the name Assata Shakur and briefly joined the Black Panther Party, before joining the BLA.Between 1971 and 1973, she was charged with several crimes and was the subject of a multi-state manhunt. In May 1973, Shakur was arrested after being wounded in a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike. Also involved in the shootout were officers Werner Foerster and James Harper, and BLA members Sundiata Acoli and Zayd Malik Shakur. Harper was wounded, and Zayd Shakur and Foerster were killed. Between 1973 and 1977, Shakur was charged with murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, and kidnapping in relation to the shootout and six other incidents. She was acquitted on three of the charges and three were dismissed. In 1977, she was convicted of the murder of State Trooper Foerster and of seven other felonies related to the 1973 shootout. Her defense argued that medical evidence exonerated her, i.e., her right arm was shot and paralyzed while her hands were raised, and she would have been unable to fire a weapon.While serving a life sentence for murder in New Jersey's Clinton Correctional Facility for Women, Shakur escaped in 1979, with assistance from the BLA and the May 19 Communist Organization. In 1984, she was granted political asylum in Cuba, where she remained for the rest of her life despite U. S. government efforts to have her extradited. In 2013, she was added to the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list, as Joanne Deborah Chesimard, and was the first woman on the list.Shakur died on September 25th, 2025 at the age of 78 due to "health problems and advanced age" according to the Cuban Foreign Ministry.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:26 UTC on Saturday, 27 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Assata Shakur on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

When Lenny Nebretski began his career with the New Jersey State Police in 1993, detectives tracked organized crime connections with yarn on corkboards and case files thick as phone books. Today, as a leader in law enforcement technology, he's helping transform policing with solutions that turn hours of investigation into seconds of analysis.This fascinating conversation tracks the evolution of police work through Lenny's unique perspective – from his early days as a road trooper patrolling the "city on wheels" of the New Jersey Turnpike, to specialized work in organized crime intelligence, to building real-time crime centers that give officers critical information before they arrive on scene.Lenny shares gripping stories from his investigations into loan shark operations tied to the Gambino crime family, offering a rare glimpse into the methodical detective work required before the digital age. The transition to his current role in the private sector highlights how former officers are bringing their field experience to technology development, creating tools specifically designed for the unique challenges of modern policing.The discussion explores how Real-Time Crime Centers and a Peregrine integrated data platform are serving as force multipliers for departments struggling with recruitment and retention, allowing them to accomplish more with fewer resources. Particularly compelling is the examination of how these technologies must balance powerful capabilities with robust privacy protections and civil liberties safeguards.Whether you're in law enforcement, interested in criminal justice technology, or simply fascinated by the intersection of policing and innovation, this episode offers valuable insights into how modern tools are helping officers serve their communities more effectively while maintaining the human connections that remain at the core of good policing.#police #lawenforcement #cops #policemonitor #policeoversight #policeoversightmonitor #bridgethegap #bethechange Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1060: Steve Greenfield sounds the alarm on rising repair and insurance costs, Tesla loses its charger deal on the New Jersey Turnpike, and Meta doubles down on AI-generated advertising—even as trust from brands wavers.Show Notes with links:Collision repair costs are skyrocketing and insurance premiums are following suit. At ASOTU CON, Steve Greenfield broke down the challenges facing OEMs and dealers as vehicles become more complex, harder to repair, and more expensive to insure, saying “this has me more worried than anything else right now.”Tesla is pulling its chargers from the New Jersey Turnpike after the state awarded an exclusive deal to another provider. The decision led Elon Musk to cry foul, but the change seems more about contracts and control than conspiracy.Tesla built 64 Superchargers across 8 Turnpike stations under a 2020 agreement.NJ Turnpike Authority chose not to renew, awarding exclusivity to Applegreen.Tesla calls the move disappointing but says it has 116 alternative stalls ready nearby.Elon Musk called the decision “corruption” despite providing no supporting evidence.Applegreen will now supply EV charging at all 21 Turnpike service areas.Meta is leaning hard into artificial intelligence, announcing plans to let brands generate entire ad campaigns with AI by the end of next year. While the potential for automation is high, many advertisers are questioning the transparency and reliability of Meta's growing ad-tech empire.Meta will allow brands to create full ad campaigns from a single product image.Meta's AI will personalize ads in real time based on user location and environment—e.g., showing a sneaker on a city street for urban users and on a hiking trail for rural ones.This dynamic rendering aims to increase relevance and engagement, particularly for smaller advertisers with limited creative budgets.Advertising made up 97% of Meta's revenue in 2024, with much of it being reinvested back into AI.Ad executives remain skeptical, with one saying, “No clients will trust what they spit out.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Someone recently asked Bishop Caggiano: “How can I become a faithful witness?” As he reflected on this in the car on the New Jersey Turnpike, Bishop realized there's no simple answer. The recipe is like minestrone soup – it has many ingredients! So on today's Let Me Be Frank, using the many feast days that kick off the month of October as a guide, is Bishop Caggiano's minestrone soup of faithfully witnessing to the faith. Buon appetito!

Daughter and Husband Killed by an Impaired Driver. Her Story and Mission. They were killed in a horrible collision with an impaired driver. The impaired driver reportedly had multiple prior offenses for driving while impaired. She recounts the tragic events, how she found out, her life afterward, and her mission in life. She also talks about the continuing problem with impaired and distracted drivers and how she has become an advocate and instructor for Police Agencies. On February 22, 2016, the impaired driver exited the Holland Tunnel from New York City and drove southbound on the New Jersey Turnpike extension toward the toll booths at Interchange 14C in Jersey City, according to court records. At the same time, Timothy O'Donnell was also driving southbound. He had stopped at the leftmost toll booth to obtain a toll ticket, with his five-year-old daughter, Bridget, in the backseat.

A temple dedicated to Alexander the Great at the Mesopotamian site of Girsu has us asking questions.

Confidence Hack #77: The true stories of those who survived 9/11 due to schedule interruptions. I'm sure we all have, but try to remember a time recently when you got so frustrated over the slightest mishap in your schedule. Let me introduce you to the ‘unknown near-miss experiences.' September 11th, 2001, is a day that will live in infamy in United States history. Everyone who was alive can remember precisely where they were on that day. A woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off on time.  Another man survived because it was his turn to bring donuts to the office.  Someone else was delayed due to being stuck in a long traffic jam on the New Jersey Turnpike.  One person's car simply wouldn't start.  That morning, a man wore a brand new pair of shoes, got a blister, and had to stop at a pharmacy for a plaster. Those are all true stories of people who unknowingly avoided death. I doubt they look at the minor annoyances of their days the same way most people do. They know they are on borrowed time. And that's the thing: we are all on borrowed time. Today's confidence boost comes from taking a minute to think about the truth—there have been many situations where we could have very easily expired, but we didn't. And that alone can give us a new sense of joy and perspective.  Gain confidence knowing that God is protecting you even from the things you don't know and even when they might seem like burdens at the moment. Burdens can be blessings in disguise. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Op zondagavond tien januari 1999, vandaag 25 jaar geleden, zag Amerika voor het eerst een grote man met een dikke sigaar van New York via tolweg The New Jersey Turnpike naar zijn huis in New Jersey rijden. De camera niet op hem gericht, maar op wat hij vanuit zijn raam ziet: van industrie, pakhuizen, verloederde winkels tot de meer groene suburbs en uiteindelijk zijn eigen riante villa. Pas daar ziet de kijker maffiabaas Tony Soprano helemaal in beeld. Zo'n intro, dat op zichzelf al een heel verhaal vertelt, was compleet nieuw in die tijd. En ook op veel andere manieren zou deze serie een revolutie in televisieland betekenen. The Sopranos bestaat een kwarteeuw en in deze podcast vertelt journalist Anke Meijer hoe de schrijvers en acteurs het genre van de tv-serie tot een kunstvorm maakten en hoe ze grote invloed hebben gehad op grote series die daarna kwamen. Anke Meijer schrijft over tv-series en maakt er ook de podcast Skip Intro over, en benadruk ze, intro's skippen doet ze bijna nooit - en zeker niet in het geval van The Sopranos. Reageren?

Raoul Peck became known for his filmmaking and fight for racial justice with the released of his Academy Award-nominated film I Am Not Your Negro which attempts to complete James Baldwin's unfinished book about the assassinations of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and Medgar Evers. It was followed by another documentary series, Exterminate All the Brutes. In his latest film, Silver Dollar Road, Peck completes his trilogy about the economic injustice Black people face worldwide.Silver Dollar Road closes the circle with a look at a modern-day family's fight to keep the land they purchased soon after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Notes From America Executive Producer, André Robert Lee sits down with Raoul to discuss how he came across the story in his latest film, and why he feels compelled to make these movies today.  Plus, we hear how Assata Shakur Became one of America's most wanted in 1973 when state troopers on the New Jersey Turnpike pulled over her and two members of the Black Liberation Army. Tragically, guns were fired, people were killed, and in the aftermath, a political standoff between Shakur and state law enforcement began. Tell us what you think.

 Discover why is it better to copy something that's been working rather than being original Learn the advantages of having a swipe file and how can use it to write a star-seller copy Understand why looking for copywriters in-house isn't always the best solution to your bad sales Resources/Links: Want to learn more about how to write copy that drives sales? Click here: bly.com Summary Do you want to learn how to write a copy that actually sells without the stress? Writing copy isn't supposed to be difficult if you have the right people and techniques for the job. An effective copy can be modeled from something that is already working, rather than original. Robert Bly is a freelance copywriter and author of 100 books. Grab a pen and take down notes as Robert talks about what differs from a copy that's just good from one that works and actually sells. He also shares how you can write your own A-level copy that guarantees engagement and sales! Check out these episode highlights: 02:21 - Robert's ideal client: My ideal client is twofold. Number one, I only work with clients that are direct response or direct marketers that could be online. It could be multi-channel. 03:41 - The problem he helps solve: The standard answer would be getting more sales, more clicks, or conversions. But the problem that clients really have is they tell me I can't get a copy anywhere that's right. 04:55 - The symptoms of the problem: The two symptoms. One is the obvious-- bad numbers. They say, "I ran this Google campaign." "Send it to my landing page." And it's like zero or it's very low! 05:58 - Clients' common mistakes before consulting Robert: Here's what I think a lot of clients quite naturally, and I think it's fine, will inhouse. They have staff or employees who will write their own copy. 07:18 - Robert's Valuable Free Action (VFA): If they want to write better copy and do it themselves, or have someone on their staff do it, that copywriter should keep what we used to call in the good old days, I don't know if you use this today, a "swipe file". 08:58 - Robert's Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Want to learn more on how to write a copy that drives sales? Click here: bly.com 10:02 - Q: How do you get from B-level copy to A-level copy? And really stand out as a copy. A: I think the quick definition of A-level copy is it's a big idea. In other words, it's not "seven reasons to buy a garden hose". Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “It's better to model after something that you know is working than to be brilliantly creative and original.” -Robert BlyClick To Tweet Transcript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland 00:10 Welcome, everyone, to another edition of Marketing the Invisible. I'm Tom Poland beaming out to you from the Sunshine Coast in Australia. I'm joined today by Robert Bly, a.k.a. Bob. Welcome, sir! A good day from Down Under. Where are you hanging out? Robert Bly 00:22 I am hanging out, as I always do, in New Jersey, on the east coast of the USA. Tom Poland 00:27 New Jersey Turnpike, they've been John Malkovich. Right? Robert Bly 00:30 That is one of our major roads. The Turnpike, and the parkway, Tom Poland 00:35 Not a fun place to get dropped out onto the sidewalk, probably, but anywho! So how do you- I mean, in New Jersey, you're really close to New York, right? Robert Bly 00:42 Very close to New York. And if there was no traffic, it could literally be a 15-minute drive. But, these days, there's always traffic. Tom Poland 00:51 So is New York like a big brother to New Jersey? Is that sort of chip-on-the-shoulder thing between the two that sometimes there's a sibling rivalry? Robert Bly 00:59 Yeah,

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Rory Cooper. He's a partner at Purple Strategies, a corporate reputation and advocacy agency in Alexandria, Va., a former George W. Bush and Eric Cantor aide, and a longtime Republican strategist. He's on Twitter at @rorycooper.Rory's Music Pick: Simon & GarfunkelIf you enjoyed Political Beats' episode on the solo career of Paul Simon with Rory Cooper from a year and half ago, then kick right back after the Labor Day weekend and start feelin' groovy while listening the epic George Lucas/Peter Jackson prequel extravaganza that is our discussion of Simon & Garfunkel! Yes, Rory has returned to discuss a pop duo formerly known as “Tom & Jerry,” whose music dominated both American and U.K. airwaves in the late Sixties. With three #1 hits, nine more top 20 singles, two #1 albums, and their names attached to one of the decade's most beloved films, we think it likely that you're already somewhat familiar with Simon & Garfunkel. But this, like our Paul Simon episode, is the rare episode in which neither of your two esteemed hosts were actually deeply familiar with the albums (as opposed to the radio hits). How could this have happened? All is explained while we are rejoined by Rory Cooper, a guy who knows all the stories and loves Paul Simon's music so much he named his kid after one of these songs. In this episode, we explore the origins of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel as schooldays choirboy friends in Queens, their brief “teen idol” phase as Tom & Jerry, and their -- rather awkward -- rebirth in the early Sixties as folkies on a Greenwich Village scene that resolutely disdained them for purported inauthenticity. Simon & Garfunkel's 1964 debut album flopped so badly that Simon went to England and Garfunkel simply went back to school, until a Columbia producer desperate for a hit overdubbed electric backing onto a forgotten song from that debut called “The Sound of Silence.”And the rest is history. Simon & Garfunkel's career resumed in a haste as “Sound of Silence” hit the top of the charts in January 1966, and what followed was a series of increasingly assured acoustic folk/pop/rock hits that culminated by the late Sixties in immortal and gnomic songs like “Mrs. Robinson,” “America,” and “The Boxer.” From being a pale imitator of Bob Dylan's “intelligent folk” music, Simon & Garfunkel had evolved into a different, singular sound, anchored around Garfunkel's peerlessly pitch-perfect high tenor voice and Simon's insistently rhythmic sense of guitar-work and arrangement.Although the pairing did not -- and could not, for many reasons -- last long, it ended in a supreme achievement: Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970), a record whose commercial dominance and omnipresence in its day has been exceeded only by its subsequent critical reputation. And that was it; Garfunkel left for an acting career, and Simon for a solo one. (A brief reunion in the early Eighties went nowhere.) And that was for the best: They will forever be remembered for going out on the highest possible note. What happened next has already been discussed, but for now, enjoy the groovy Sixties and Paul Simon's orthogonal, acutely self-conscious place within them as we count the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike, all gone to look for America. 

There are markers along the road in every harpist's development, signposts that indicate you're making progress. These are like those highway signs that tell you how many miles you are from the next town or city, like “New York City - 90 miles.” No matter how long it's taken you to get to that point and regardless of the traffic jam ahead of you on the New Jersey Turnpike, New York City is now only 90 miles away.  Graduating from three-note chords to four-note chords is one of those markers I talk about often. Another one is fluent hands together playing. Fluent may not be the best word to describe my meaning. It's more a comfort level, the point at which hands together playing is not any more difficult for you than playing hands separately. Many harpists develop fluency playing hands separately and then are frustrated when that fluency doesn't translate to their hands together playing. What they don't realize is that the processing of information that is required for hands separately playing is very different from what is required for hands together playing. It's a harp version of the saying “What got you here won't get you there.” My students have all heard me talk about this before - and often. It's painful to me to see harpists struggle with music learning and slow progress simply because they never were shown a better way. In this episode I will detail how to put hands together in a way which is faster, easier and will yield massive results, not just in the long-term but almost immediately. And while there are a lot of angles we could touch on today, I want to focus on three things you could do today to improve - or develop, if you feel like you're starting from scratch - your hands together skills. I also will tell you about two things you are likely doing now which you must stop immediately, today. So get out your notebook or your practice journal and your favorite pen and be ready to take notes. Or just listen now and come back to this episode later to be sure you capture all the info you need. You're going to want it all, trust me.

A deadly encounter fifty years ago between the New Jersey State Police and a group of Black activists turned Assata Shakur into a cultural icon – and an enduring political villain.  In May 1973, activist Assata Shakur and two members of the Black Liberation Army were pulled over by state troopers on the New Jersey Turnpike. Tragically, guns were fired, people were killed, and in the aftermath, a political standoff between Shakur and state law enforcement began.  On the fiftieth anniversary marking the incident, WNYC reporters Nancy Solomon and Tracie Hunte share their reporting with host Kai Wright. They explore the many unanswered questions it raises and what this moment means in the history of Black self-defense movements. Companion listening for this episode:  The Week That Changed America's Cities (4/13/2023) On the 55th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, one journalist examines the 1968 Holy Week which he calls one of the most consequential weeks in U.S. history. “Notes from America” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the famous 2001 potentially UFO lights in the sky above New Jersey in the USA. Or were they birds with flashlights? Mr Moonwalker may be one of only two people in the world wise enough to come up with that theory. This, or these, things in the sky, have a lot to answer for because their fifteen minutes of fame may have interrupted other planned events… Federal Aviation Administration data may held to help some light on this one. Whilst probing these most unusual lights with similarities to the Phoenix Lights, we also ponder… Was the sighting of this event inspiration for a certain Mario Kart 64 course? Is getting pooped on by a bird really lucky? Really? Is it really? All that and more on this week's file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.com Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

The Freelancer is back and has a list of mass casualty events on his docket but not to assassinate someone as his typical MO.  Why is he on the rampage and how does it tie into Wujing.  Plus if you are in New Jersey, say hi to Red on the turnkpike?!?! Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon. Case Profile for The Freelancer Part 2 Three weeks ago men from Wu-Wu's (yes that is what we are calling him forever now in honor of the late Robert Vesco) from Wujing's team met with a team of Mercs that helped out Marvin last season in his war with Red.  They won't join forces with Wu-Wu unless they have proof that Reddington has betrayed them and is working for the FBI.  So Wu-Wu calls upon The Freelancer to stage some high profile catastrophes in order to draw out Red and the Taskforce. A photographer that snapped a photo 6 years ago of Red, Dembe, and Rojellio is back and taking pictures of the task force arriving on the scene of Freelancer's handiwork, in order to get the proof Wu-Wu needs.    Meanwhile Ressler is one year sober and about to become a sponsor for a fellow in the same line of work he is. Red is traveling the New Jersey Turnpike picking up snacks for Agnes who apparently likes a boy at school.  Cooper never saw himself as a family man but is really becoming attached to Agnes, and Herbie pays a visit to the Post Office.   Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: Is the guy Ressler is helping a plant? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.  Music For The Freelancer Part 2 During the cold open this week as The Freelancer goes to work on the engine room of the ferry we hear “Time is Off” a collaboration by Flash Sendeic and Neoni. While the ladies are tending to the Egyptian cotton sheets as Red arrives at Rojellios place we hear “Rondo Alla Three” by David Stienberg. Finally as Ressler and Dembe question the 9th floor after the building fire we hear “Smile With Your Teeth” by the New Mystics.  You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.  The Freelancer Part 2 in Pictures Here are a just a few of our favorite scenes from this week.
