Welcome to the entertaining and informative world of The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel, where late-night radio meets life's strangest mysteries. In this episode, Lionel unravels the bizarre case of a fire truck shredding a passenger plane at LaGuardia like a pencil sharpener, questioning how such a massive blunder even happens. The conversation then shifts to the death of the classic newspaper era, mourning the loss of fedora-wearing journalists, copy boys, and the legendary Pete Hamill. Lionel explores the wild ways information spreads today, highlighting how a random cellphone video of a Hannibal Buress stand-up routine finally brought down Bill Cosby after 50 years of ignored rumors—a prime example of the digital "hundredth monkey" effect. From the terrifying new frontier of AI deepfakes and digital extortion, to uncomfortable questions about courtroom vigilante justice and statutes of limitations, this episode asks how we define truth in an increasingly strange world. Finally, stick around for a deep dive into the death of the "white hat" cowboy hero, the passing of Chuck Norris, and humanity's endless battle against the muck of modern evil.

There are very few places as divisive in today's church as the potluck lunch. When visitors come to our churches we are likely to hear them proclaim about their food orthodoxy before they say anything about their theology or church background. Tim and Andrew offer some helpful commentary about how to keep food from dividing the church. Show NotesThe man Tim was trying to remember mentioned during the recording was Jerome Irving Rodale founder of the magazine, Organic Farming and Gardening, and also Rodale Press. The talk show host Dick Cavett tells the story:MAY 3, 2007, 6:33 PMWhen That Guy Died on My Show (interview with Dick Cavett)When I'm doing an appearance somewhere and taking questions from the audience, I can always count on: “Tell about the guy who died on your show!” I generally say, “I will, and I promise you that in a few moments you will be laughing.” (That gets a laugh.) I go on: “First, who would be the logical person to drop dead on a television show? A health expert.” (Laugh.) I go on to explain that he was Jerome I. Rodale, the publisher of (among other things) Today's Health Magazine. (Laugh.) The irony gets thicker.He'd been on the cover of The New York Times Magazine that Sunday, and we needed one more guest. He was a slight man, and looked like Leon Trotsky with the little goatee.He was extremely funny for half an hour, talking about health foods, and as a friendly gesture he offered me some of his special asparagus, boiled in urine. I think I said, “Anybody's we know?” while making a mental note to have him back.I brought out the next guest, Pete Hamill, whose column ran in The New York Post. Rodale moved “down one” to the couch. As Pete and I began to chat, Mr. Rodale suddenly made a snoring sound, which got a laugh.Comics would sometimes do that for a laugh while another comic was talking, pretending boredom. His head tilted to the side as Pete, in close-up as it happened, whispered audibly, “This looks bad.”The audience laughed at that. I didn't, because I knew Rodale was dead.To this day, I don't know how I knew. I thought, “Good God, I'm in charge here. What do I do?” Next thing I knew I was holding his wrist, thinking, I don't know anything about what a wrist is supposed to feel like.Next, in what felt like a quick film cut, I was standing at the edge of the stage, saying, “Is there a doctor in the … (pause) … audience?”Two medical interns scrambled onto the stage. The next “shot” that I recall was of Rodale flat on the floor. The interns had loosened his shirt and his pants, and were working on him. He was the ghastly pale of a plumber's candle.Other memories that seem to come in stop-frame sequence:- Two stewardesses in the front row who'd been winking and joking with me during the commercial breaks were now crying. I guess from their training and having seen emergencies, they knew the score.- Watching the awareness that this might just be real start to roll backward through the audience. Their reluctant awareness that this was not part of the show.- A camera man standing on his tiptoes, his camera pointing almost straight down on Rodale and the “action.”- Someone running onstage with a small tank of oxygen with a crucial part missing.- The bizarre feeling of denial that this must be part of the show. After all, we were in makeup and there were stage lights and a band and an audience that had been laughing and clapping only moments earlier.- Pete Hamill amidst the turmoil, as an ambulance crew arrived, calmly and professionally making notes in his reporter's notebook. (He got a memorable column for the next day.)- Finding myself in a fog in my dressing room, discovering a few strange objects in my pocket that someone must have handed me. A ChapStick, a watch and some keys, clearly from the dead man's pockets.- A voice in the alley as I got in the car: “Hey, Dick, was that for real?”I went home and looked up Robert Frost's poem “Out, Out —,” which contains the words, “… And they, since they/ Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.”The next morning, I called my mentor and former boss, Johnny Carson. The story was all over the news. I asked Johnny how I could ever do another show. “It's like Kennedy's death, isn't it, Richard?” he said. “You wondered how anybody could ever do another show. This won't sound very profound but you just go out and do it. And you'll get a couple of surprises.”That night I told the whole story in the (comedy) monologue spot. No laughs then. I dreaded coming back from commercial.No one referred to the tragic happening, and everything meant to be funny got what seemed clearly to be larger than usual laughs. This, it turned out, was the main surprise Johnny knew was in store for me. Everyone was eager to get back to laughs.This is the topper: Upon warily deciding to view the sorry event a few weeks later, along with my staff, we noticed three things that, incredibly, no one had recalled Rodale's saying: “I'm in such good health [he was 72] that I fell down a long flight of stairs yesterday and I laughed all the way.” “I've decided to live to be a hundred.” And the inevitable “I never felt better in my life!” (The gods and their sense of humor.)From accessed February 17, 2024.Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors who say what they think.

2023 marks 40 years since Mario Cuomo was sworn in as governor of New York for the first time. Cuomo was one of the most unlikely politicians the state had seen in a long time. The child of illiterate working-class immigrants who owned a grocery store in South Jamaica, Cuomo was a public-school genius who found himself graduating at the top of his class at St. John's Law School. After taking a few pro-bono cases representing homeowners in Queens, Cuomo found himself encouraged to enter politics by legendary journalists Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill, as well as NYC Mayor John Lindsay. What followed was a wild rise up the ranks, one that included a highly publicized run for mayor, as well as turns as lieutenant governor and New York secretary of state before finally being elected governor. From the perspective of his advisers and the reporters that covered him – some of them speaking about their experiences with Cuomo for the first time – we'll find out how Cuomo managed to become a major political figure in the Democratic Party despite having a background that differed from most elected officials.

My special guest in this episode is Pete Hamill, a leadership consultant and somatic coach with a special focus on embodied leadership approach. Pete has a really fascinating background. He has been trained by Dr. Richard Strozzi-Heckler at the Strozzi Institute for Embodied Leadership, and is a certified Somatic Leadership Coach. He is also an author of the book “Embodied Leadership: The Somatic Approach to Developing Your Leadership”. For me this chat brought into the forefront (again!) the importance of body in leadership. Hope you will like the episode too! “What role does the body play in leadership, beyond just body language? Consider emotional intelligence: when you have an emotional reaction to something (e.g. that email that makes you angry) the reaction you experience doesn't appear as an idea in your head, but as a feeling in your gut. It's an ‘embodied' reaction. What about how you deal with conflict? Have you noticed how children and animals often know when people are upset before they do? They're not noticing words, but they are able to observe bodies, and the subsequent emotional states. Embodied Leadership is about learning to lead at a deeper, more fundamental level, working through the body to deeper levels of self-awareness, developing the capacity to be the leader you want to be, and achieving what you are committed to achieving.” – Pete Hamill Listen and enjoy!

Colter Nuanez goes around the Big Sky scoreboard in basketball, including breaking down the Lady Griz's close and controversial loss to Idaho State. Carolyn, the Chick Who Doesn't Know Sports, dishes on the Super Bowl - not the game, silly, the commercials - and Colter also catches up with Pete Hamill of Vertical Raise.
It's a long ways from the Big Apple to the Little Orange, but the issues and the personalities that shape them are remarkably similar. One key advantage New York had that Ojai didn't was an epic chronicler and columnist with the street smarts and monumental charisma of Jimmy Breslin. He was the perfect fit for his beat — with its charlatans, wiseguys, politicians and police — and the connections that brought them all together to create the vivid world of New York City from the early 1960s onward. Breslin's son Kevin joins the podcast to talk about his singular father, his connections to Ojai and his own brilliant career. The winner of every distinction and honor the world of journalism has to offer, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1986, Breslin got his start as a humble beat reporter for the New York Herald who was thrust into the melee surrounding the assassination of JFK. Without having the sources, campaign and government insiders or connections, Breslin found a way into the story that made his mark: Interviewing Clifton Pollard, an unassuming man with the painful task of burying the president. Breslin's gravedigger story announced the arrival of a singular talent who, as much or more than anyone else, created New York City's image as a blue-collar, take-no-bullshit town with a cast of colorful characters including the famous and infamous, the charming rogues and hard-working Everymen for whom he wrote his three-times-a-week column for decades. Breslin has himself made news, as when Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz wrote him letters about his coverage, and when he was savagely beaten by organized crime figures at a restaurant owned by Henry Hill of "Wiseguys" fame. Breslin was also a celebrity — besides his column (which included plenty of investigative and breaking news reporting — he also wrote popular novels, was a regular on the talk-show circuit, had his own talk show, ran for public office and starred in TV commercials. Along with his compatriot and competitor Pete Hamill, his beat was the sprawling, noisy and good-hearted metropolis. Kevin Breslin has had his own brilliant career as an actor and filmmaker. His documentary "Living for 32" about the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings was shortlisted for an Academy Award, and he has also written feature films, including "Blowtorch."
The culture wars now ripping through American politics — especially noticeable in these last few weeks before the midterm elections, when Trump is trying to lay the groundwork for an authoritarian takeover — arguably began on May 8, 1970 in New York City. That day happened to be the 25th anniversary of the Allied victory over Germany in World War II. It was also weeks after Richard Nixon expanded the Vietnam War into Cambodia. And it was just four days after Ohio National Guardsmen shot dead four students during antiwar protests at Kent State University.I recall it vividly. On May 8, 1970, a riot broke out in New York City.Around noon, near the intersection of Wall Street and Broad Street in Lower Manhattan, more than 400 construction workers — steamfitters, ironworkers, plumbers, and other laborers from nearby construction sites like the emerging World Trade Center — attacked around 1,000 student demonstrators (including two of my friends) protesting the Vietnam War and the May 4 Kent State shootings. The workers carried U.S. flags and chanted “USA, All the way” and “America, love it or leave it.” They chased the students through the streets — attacking those who looked like hippies with hard hats and weapons, including tools and steel-toe boots.I heard about it when several friends from New York who were active in the anti-Vietnam War movement phoned me later that day. To characterize them as upset understates their emotions.As David Paul Kuhn reports in The Hardhat Riot, the police did little to stop the mayhem. Some even egged on the thuggery. When a group of hardhats moved menacingly toward a Wall Street plaza, a patrolman shouted: “Give 'em hell, boys. Give 'em one for me!”The workers then stormed a barely-protected City Hall where the mayor's staff, to the hardhats' rage, had lowered the flag in honor of the Kent State dead. They pushed their way to the top of the steps and attempted to gain entrance, chanting “Hey, hey, whatcha say? We support the USA!” Fearing the mob would break in, a person from the mayor's staff raised the flag. It was a small precursor to the attack on the U.S. Capitol more than a half-century later. The workers ripped down the Red Cross flag that was hanging at nearby Trinity Church because they associated the flag with the anti-war protests. They stormed the newly built main Pace University building, smashing lobby windows and beating students and professors with their tools.More than 100 people were wounded. The typical victim was a 22-year-old white male college student, though one in four was female. Seven police officers were also hurt. Most of the injured required hospital treatment. Six people were arrested, but only one construction worker.My friends escaped injury but they were traumatized. I remember them describing the rioting construction workers as a “pack of animals.”The hardhat riot had immediate political consequences. Richard Nixon exploited it for political advantage. It was the first salvo in America's culture wars. Nixon's chief of staff H.R. Haldeman wrote in his diary: “The college demonstrators have overplayed their hands, evidence is the blue-collar group rising up against them, and [the] president can mobilize them.” Patrick Buchanan, then a Nixon aide, wrote in a memo to his boss, saying “blue-collar Americans” are “our people now.” Peter Brennan, then president of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York, claimed “the unions had nothing to do with” it — although just before the riot, Brennan had held a rally of construction workers to show support for Nixon's Vietnam policies. Brennan explained that workers were “fed up” with violence and flag desecration by anti-war demonstrators.At Nixon's invitation, Brennan then led a delegation of 22 union leaders, representing more than 300,000 tradesmen, to the White House. They presented Nixon with several hard hats and a flag pin, after which Nixon praised the “labor leaders and people from Middle America who still have character and guts and a bit of patriotism”.After the 1972 election, Nixon appointed Brennan labor secretary. Brennan did not distinguish himself in that position. He strongly opposed affirmative action. He also prevented Labor Department officials from investigating allegations of corruption in the Teamsters Union and of its president, Frank Fitzsimmons, who had helped secure labor support for Nixon's election. The hardhat riot revealed a deep split in America's left — in the coalition of workers and progressives that Franklin D. Roosevelt had knitted together in the 1930s, and the wished-for alliance of Blacks, liberals and blue-collar whites in the aftermath of Lyndon Johnson's landslide 1964 re-election. The riot's class-based and race-based tensions would worsen over the next half century, as America's upper-middle class and wealthy began pulling away from white Americans without college degrees. The construction workers who attacked the demonstrators on May 8, 1970, and the police who egged them on, were more likely to have family and friends in Vietnam than the college students who demonstrated. Many were veterans of World War II and Korea. They also lived in the same working-class neighborhoods.They despised the protesters as a bunch of pampered, longhaired, draft-dodging, flag-desecrating snots. They felt abandoned by the middle class and the college-educated, stiffed by the clever kids with draft deferments, forced to bus their kids to Black neighborhoods they didn't trust and accept Black kids into their schools, and burdened by an economy no longer delivering the possibility of upward mobility. As the journalist Pete Hamill observed at the time, the workingman “feels trapped and, even worse, in a society that purports to be democratic, ignored.”The former Nixon aide Pat Buchanan, writing in 1988 about the future of the GOP, argued that it should have embraced these growing working-class resentments.The Republican moment slipped by, I believe, when the GOP refused to take up the challenge from the left on its chosen battleground: the politics of class, culture, religion, and race.”Three years later, Buchanan openly questioned whether democracy was the best form of government. “The American press is infatuated to the point of intoxication with democracy,” he wrote, comparing the Marine Corps and corporations like IBM to the federal government. “Only the last is run on democratic, not autocratic principles. Yet who would choose the last as the superior institution?”Buchanan sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992, 1996, and 2000. He lost, of course. But over the course of the 1990s, his ideas began taking root in the GOP. When I was secretary of labor, I spent much of my time in the Midwest and elsewhere around the country where workers felt abandoned in an economy taken over by Wall Street. I witnessed their anger and resentment. I heard their frustrations. The nation could have responded, but did not. This is a public episode.

Embodied Learning From Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to practising being uncomfortable by debating London taxi drivers, Pete takes us on a journey of understanding as to what Embodied learning is. Learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable is at the heart of this approach and so it is no surprise that this is very much for the motivated learner. Defining outcomes based on longing, tuning into emotional soundtracks, identifying these somatic markers, recognising you are a beginner in terms of choosing your response and then using deliberate and varied practice in order to develop choices rather than our ingrained response. This is the very embodiment of sticky learning! www.petehamill.co.uk www.embodiedleadership.net
