Seve Cully with Coach Dave Scuman, VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and me as we continue to discuss the government shutdown. Small Business owners are unhappy and concerned as the shutdown enters its 5th week; they are losing billions of dollars in government funding. We talk about the outrageous cost of college tuition. For many schools, it's between 70 K and 90 K, and that's why this generation is disenfranchised. Kids are spending a small fortune, graduating with degrees, and expecting to start a 6-figure-income job. Frank and Dave discuss the loss of "sweat equity" as Frank shares that he grew up in a small house, while his father worked as much as he could to save money. After he scraped together enough cash, he started his own business, Tony's Pizzeria, in Washington Mills, which Frank runs today. Dave moved in with his father and built his company from the ground up, doing football camps. It took years to become successful. The guys believe social media has corrupted our society. Young people see these influencers driving nice cars, living in mansions, and they want it. Damn it, they spent $300,000 on a college education and deserve that lifestyle. They are impulsive and don't want to save money, work for that life; it has to happen NOW!

In this hour of Follow The Money, Pauly Howard and Mike Somich are joined by Anthony Curtis, Mr. Las Vegas Advisor, to talk about his betting and sports betting stories. Also, the hosts are joined by Professional Sports Bettor Paul Stone to give out his college football week 10 best bets. Plus, the hosts go inside "Mitch and Pauly's Pizzeria" and go through listeners' and viewers' long-shot parlays and bets. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alpenstrom 2 Frigor im Salat. Als erstes starten wir in den Text und in die neue Alpensendung mit etwas Feedback von Marci Loisach und ja auf den ersten Entwurf des Flyers für Alpenstrom 1. Da wurde im Cover ein K1 Bild verwendet und ja wie ich das eben in der Vergangenheit viel zu viel…….. Sorry !

In this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we talk with Meredith Butler and Chef Mike Robertshaw of Pizzeria Ruby, where we go over SO much, including some breaking news, but before we get into them?? FOOD NEWS!!! It's Top Chef Week, and I'm giving away a pair of tickets. Learn how to enter! Three Arkansans will be competing at the International Championship Chili Cook-Off in Terlingua after qualifying in Prairie Grove this past weekend. The owners of Mermaids have a new event venue in Fayetteville and will be opening a new burger joint in the Mill District soon! Speaking of the Mill District, Arsaga's has closed. We'll tell you who's moving in. The Stonebreaker Hotel has a new executive chef. Faymosa has opened in the Fayetteville Square. Dave and Jenny Marrs will be opening a coffee and ice cream shop. We'll tell you where! Chef Mike Robertshaw and his partner Meredith Butler aren't from the area... in fact, they met in Seattle and they weren't from there either. Chef Mike will tell you about hanging out with some regulars at his restaurant there who happened to be in Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Meredith will tell you her pizza crush, who I will tag when I post this. How did they end up in NWA, and what did they do once they got here? That's a good story. Also, they'll talk about how they prepared for Pizzeria Ruby having never worked in a pizza spot before. And finally, they're opening a spot called Pizza Lottie in Bentonville. MANY folks are curious about when it'll open. Chef Mike and Meredith will tell you when!! One note for you, there's some explicit language in this one, so earmuffs for the kids, OK?  Thanks for tuning in.

Dave interviews someone as pessimistically optimistic as him today: Alex Stupak, chef and founder of Empellón. Dave and Alex talk about the dark arts of sandbagging (2:33), the end of "high/low" dining, and the history of food leading to today (6:28). They also discuss selling out, Alex's new social media presence, and the origin of ideas. Somehow, by the end of the podcast, these two "pessimists" end up hopeful for the future of the cooking world, even with AI imminent (1:27:49).

Sam Russo put out his fourth album (“Hold You Hard”) a few months ago and is currently touring the states in a run-up to the Fest in Gainesville later this month. The new album was written across America, and feels like the result of travels that were well, if not thoughtfully, spent. Sam jumped in my car in front of GMan to talk about the new album, video-making, songwriting, and a shared love for horror films. As I mentioned in a recent social post, Sam is one of the most genuine, authentic souls I've come across in my decades of interviewing musicians. He speaks, writes, and performs with unflinching sincerity and rawness … his new album is a wonderful leap forward for him as an artist - highly recommended.

"There's just something about sitting at a cafe, and the food, and the culture that just, it's not like anything else in the world" - Erica D'ArcangeloWelcome to Episode #123,Today I share an enriching and beautiful conversation with Erica D'Arcangelo, host of Pizza Story Podcast.

The Flock was making noise on a national level starting back during the Nixon administration. They were unorthodox for the time: Jazz. Prog. Rock. Fusion. A little bit of everything, all masterfully played by the individual band members. They put out a few major label albums in their prime (Columbia, Mercury) … then, just as quickly as they came onto the scene, they faded away. Jerry Smith (bass/vocals) from the Flock joins me on the northwest side for this episode to talk about the band’s remarkable history (your jaw will drop at how many legendary bands they shared stages and experiences with) and what the present day vision is for the band. This chat is true Chicago (and classic rock) history, told by a guy who’s seen and done it all. I think you’re really going to appreciate it. (Please note: We talk a lot in this episode about an upcoming Park West performance. Due to an unforeseen circumstance, that show had to be canceled. Hopefully we can see the band live again soon!) ## Looking to transform your home, office, or business into a smart, seamlessly connected space?

This episode finds me at the fabulous Volo Antique Malls, where I can easily lose myself for hours at a time. Owners/managers Keith and Lisa Santiago sat down with me to talk about collectibles and antique culture, as well as the fact that their buildings are “haunted.” Seemed like the perfect time of year to dig into the latter, as paranormal tours of the facilities are being conducted along with the Volo Auto Museum. Lisa and Keith were a pleasure to talk to. And yes, I easily found a few things to buy before I left the area completely.

Frank and River of wht.rbbt.obj are back to talk about their excellent new album, “Oscar Bravo Juliett.” As I mention early in this episode, the new album is a collection of songs that are alternatingly (sometimes all at once) fuzzed out, torchy, sexy, and searing. We met at Charlie Beinlich’s in Northbrook for burgers (and a tuna salad sandwich) - thanks to the team there for the unexpected curbside service! See wht.rbbt.obj this month at the below dates, and listen to the album when it releases on 10/17!

I’m back at Noon Whistle’s Lombard Brewpub (800 E. Roosevelt) for this one. They’ve pulled me back with yet another mad scientist idea. I’ve had cicada-infused Malort there. I choked down Garlic Butterlort, still an all-time low taste experience. And now, I’m back for a Car Con Carne collaboration of sorts: Malort Con Carne, which is Malort infused with… chili. I’m joined once again by Marketing Director Joey Giardiniera for a twisted odyssey into spirits and mix-ins. We don’t bury the lede on this one - we get right to trying it. As far as good drinks go, I loved the Festbier I had on this visit. Noon Whistle’s line of beers ranges from “brilliant at the basics” through, “Oh, I need to know what that tastes like.” You really can’t go wrong there. And yes, have a pizza when you’re there. They absolutely kill it with their food menu. Car Con Carne is sponsored by Easy Automation: Looking to transform your home, office, or business into a smart, seamlessly connected space?

It’s my favorite time of year - I’m back at Hellsgate Haunted House in Lockport to see what’s new at the haunt and meet up with creator/owner John LaFlamboy. Joining me for the trip this year are two of my favorite people: John and Maria of the synthy, edgy, glorious gothpop duo clubdrugs. Get tickets at hellsgate.com - Thursday-Sundays through the 19th, then Wednesday through Sunday starting on the 22nd. It’s a must-visit every year, and you wouldn’t be wrong to visit more than once per season. John and Maria were the perfect first-time HellsGate visitors, and became instant, lifetime fans. They observed and appreciated nuances that only superfans would recognize, and it was fun to hear them share their thoughts and questions with John LaFlamboy. John LaFlamboy shared what’s new for HellsGate this year (the biggest and best example is the mausoleum - OMG). He also talked about the business of running a haunt; specifically the good that can come from failing. John from clubdrugs picked up on the subcultural, community vibe that HellsGate creates, much to John LaFlamboy’s appreciation. And it’s true: When you’re at HellsGate, there’s a special, unique-to-that-world, feeling of belonging from start to finish. My annual CCC visit to HellsGate is something I look forward to each year, and I always appreciate John LaFlamboy’s insights and creativity. Having my super-creative friends in clubdrugs join in the fun for this episode made for an absolutely exceptional evening and podcast experience. Speaking of clubdrugs: They dropped a major band announcement toward the end of the show. Not to spoil it, but… they just signed a record deal and new music is imminent!

Vitangelo “Vito” Recchia, owner and operator of Bella Napoli Pizzeria & Restaurant in Port Charlotte, Florida, joins the show (2:36). Recchia discusses how a man who grew up in a pizza shop—but didn't make a pizza until age 30—became a highly acclaimed chef who was named "Best American Pizza Maker" at the 2023 and 2024 World Pizza Championships. Recchia recalls growing up in his family's Pennsylvania pizza shop, training in Italy at a Michelin-starred restaurant and how competitions in Parma have helped him refine his craft. Later in the conversation, Recchia explains what it takes to educate a retirement-heavy Florida market on quality, why he still embraces Italian-American classics and the lessons he carries forward as both chef and entrepreneur.

Bass Drum of Death was back in Chicago on 9/24/25 for a show at Beat Kitchen, and I sat down with John Barrett (singer/multi-instrumentalist) shortly before he took the stage. We talked about: *Chicago, and the band’s “Live and Let Die” album that was recorded at Cobra Lounge. *The new album, “Six,” a fuzzy, garage rock, banger. *What major lifestyle change has freed John up while on tour? *The pervasive influence of ZZ Top. *What does rock and roll mean to John? Not in Chicago? You may still have a chance to see the band while they’re on tour this Fall! Highly recommended!

I’m joined by Emilie and Josh from Venus Club — they’re a dark wave Chicago band that I absolutely adore.

We met in a south side parking lot, as people do, and chatted about their sound, their drunken origin story (subject to debate?), Ace of Base’s oeuvre, and they joys of physical media.

“This is a very nice day, yeah. Hugs and kisses all the way to Wisconsin” Not to bury the lead: synthy, new wavey, indie rock favorites, the Pulsars are back and moving forward. Full disclosure: I love this band and have waited decades to hear what band leader Dave Trumfio had to say on this podcast episode. The Pulsars will be releasing more music. They’ll be touring. They’re continuing all the good things they started in the 20th century. Dave is a music genius, whether he’s in front of the Pulsars or behind the console producing other artists like Wilco, Dogstar, My Morning Jacket, and OK GO. I was elated to catch back up with him after a very long time, and can’t wait so see what he has in store for the Pulsars.

Welcome back to Pizza Quest!Charlotte, NC is starting to generate more and more national buzz as a culinary destination city. Top Chef is in pre-production here in preparation for its next season, with Charlotte as the host city, and some of the local chefs and restaurants are getting recognition by The James Beard and other prestigious organizations. And, on the pizza front, a couple new pizzerias are getting a lot of national recognition and, in the case of our guests on this episode, international acclaim. Bird Pizzeria a tough reservation to get these days, with a 60 day wait list and a location that is slightly off the beaten path, but the pizzas are uniquely their own -- a combination of East Coast as well as Chicago and Cleveland influence. In addition, due to the magic of TikTok and Instagram, the Kale Caesar Salad has gone viral and now people from as far away as New Zealand are filming themselves doing knock-off versions. Who knew?As a Caesar Salad junkie myself (I sometimes flirt with the idea of doing a companion website called Caesar Salad Quest), I had to get over there to find out what all the hoopla was about. My wife, Susan, and met up with Blaine and Honey Parker (who you will meet in a future episode here if you aren't already a subscriber to Blaine's newsletter, Free the Pizza), who had driven 600 miles just to experience Bird Pizzeria as part of their own pizza quest (like I said, the buzz has extended beyond the city walls), and we all shared the (yes) amazing Kale Caesar as well as two signature pizzas, The Plain (their take on a Margherita) and also the White, with half pepperoni and half sausage and a few other embellishments. You'll hear more about the salad and the pizzas during this podcast.In this episode, Nkem and Kerrel share their journey with us, and tell us how they ended up landing in Charlotte and developing their menu. Their story, like many others we've showcased here, is unconventional, loaded with unexpected moments of struggle and grace that somehow have serendipitous, happy endings. Sometimes you throw out the playbook and just follow your gut. Those are the places that often end up becoming legends in the making.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textThis week on The Hot Slice Podcast, hosts Joelene and Joel Best shared an extraordinary discovery that has captivated their Hamburg, New York community and pizza lovers everywhere. What started as a routine renovation project at The Now Pizzeria transformed into an archaeological adventure when contractors uncovered a newspaper from 1881 hidden within the building's walls.The discovery happened during exterior renovations at the historic pizzeria, located right on Main Street in the village of Hamburg. When contractors began removing three layers of siding to prepare for new exterior work, they reached the original vertical plank boards—and that's when history revealed itself."He found a newspaper article from 1881 behind the boards, and he showed it to me," Joelene Best explained during the podcast interview. "I was like, that's so cool, you need to get that out for me. And he's like, What are you going to do with that? I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, I want to frame it. I just want to see it."The newspaper, identified as "Our Fair" with a New York address, was remarkably preserved despite being tucked away for nearly 150 years. According to Hamburg Town Historian Jim Baker, this type of discovery isn't uncommon—newspapers were often used as insulation in mid-1800s construction, helping keep weather out of buildings.But for the Best family, this find represented something much more significant than just old insulation material. It connected them directly to their building's rich history and sparked an obsession with uncovering more details about the structure they've called home for decades.Her research revealed fascinating details about the building's past. Before becoming The Now Pizzeria in 1969, the structure housed various businesses throughout its history, with records showing it served as women's clothing stores dating back to at least 1903. The building itself appears to have been constructed around 1881, based on the newspaper discovery.The Now Pizzeria's story is deeply intertwined with the Best family legacy. Joel Best began working at the restaurant in 1973 while still in high school, eventually purchasing it in 1982 after nine years of dedication. For 41 years, he built the business into a community cornerstone, maintaining original recipes while expanding the menu from just pizza and subs to include wings, tacos, and various fried foods.The transition to the next generation happened seamlessly when Joelene and her sister took over ownership in May 2023. Both had worked at the pizzeria for 30 years, with Joelene handling bookkeeping, payroll, and ordering long before officially becoming an owner. "It still doesn't feel real, to be honest," she admitted during the podcast.The restaurant's iconic Orange Crush sign, installed in summer 1970, has become a beloved landmark. Grandfather-claused as the only pole sign on Main Street, it serves as a beacon for locals and a nostalgic touchstone for visitors. "A lot of times when people's kids go away to college, and then they come home, they always say that they don't feel like they're home until they see the Orange Crush sign," Joelene shared.The recent renovations that led to the newspaper discovery represent more than just cosmetic improvements. The project included new siding, windows, and a permanent awning for their patio, plus energy efficiency upgrades that will help during Hamburg's notoriously harsh winters. The front room is receiving a complete facelift while maintaining the restaurant's vintage charm.As football season approaches—with the Bills' stadium just five minutes away—The Now Pizzeria prepares for its busiest time of year. Sunday game days bring crowds of hungry fans, and the restaurant's strategic location makes it a natural gathering spot for the community

Kid Congo Powers is an iconic punk guitarist, wildly inventive solo artist, author, and storyteller. His resume includes legendary runs playing guitar in Gun Club, the Cramps and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He’s also been doing his own thing for decades, most notably with Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds. He’s a prolific recording artist whose discography is super deep, varied, innovative, fun, and screaming for repeat visits. I think rock and roll has become harder to define as the years have advanced, but whatever that definition is, he fits it. Before he played at Beat Kitchen, Kid jumped in the car and talked about: *His prolific output. I mean, music just pours out of him. *The forthcoming release with Naim Amor, “Tuscon Safari” (check out the video for “Surf Sirens,” mentioned in the interview. *Where the next generation of “Kid Congos” is coming from. *Music fandom. *Kid’s history with, and affection for, the Cramps. *The second life of “Goo Goo Muck.” *The horror tip he got from Siouxsie Sioux. *The key to building a band “brand” - bringing fans along into your world. *His must-read memoir, Some New Kind Of Kick.

I’m joined by Emilie and Josh from Venus Club — they’re a dark wave Chicago band that I absolutely adore. The new EP, Extended, is dreamy, haunting, and well positioned for your autumnal listening pleasure. We met in a south side parking lot, as people do, and chatted about their sound, their drunken origin story (subject to debate?), Ace of Base’s oeuvre, and they joys of physical media.

In this hour of Follow The Money, Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard look at the updated NFL Awards market, plus go inside "Mitch and Pauly's Pizzeria" to give their thoughts on listeners' long-shot parlays. Also, Professional Sports Bettor Paul Stone joins the show to give out his college football week 2 best bets.

After a shift at Zepeddie's Pizzeria in Charlotte, North Carolina, Iryna Zarutska boarded the train and quickly made a decision where to sit. Did she think about her safety? Did she fear sitting in front of a Black man with dreadlocks and a face twisted into worried knots? Or did she find a seat far away from him, just on a hunch?The truth is that Iryna had no real choice. If she avoided the seat in front of the Black man, she might look like a racist. She had no reason to fear him, after all, because she was sympathetic to the plight of racism in America and even had the words “Black Lives Matter” and “I can't breathe” scrawled on a chalkboard in her room. She was learning to speak English, and what better way than to get to know the villains and the heroes in America in 2025? She was just 23, having arrived in the US at the age of 20, with a degree in art and restoration from Synergy College in Kyiv. She joined a settlement of other Ukrainian refugees in Charlotte. She knew enough to tuck her hair into her cap, keep her glasses on, and not look like the blonde beauty that has now blanketed all social media. If you look like that, no one will leave you alone. But a little fear would have done Iryna good, as it would do any young woman riding the train at night. Fear is her only protection. The problem is, when it comes to Black men, white women are shamed out of that fear. They don't want to appear like racists or Karens. They won't grab their purse in an elevator or avoid sitting too close to a Black man. They don't want to buy into the stereotype that has white women fearing Black men for centuries.As she boarded the train that night heading home, she could not have known that the man she sat in front of had thirteen previous arrests and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. She wrapped her arms around her body and seemed to display a sense of foreboding. She looked afraid of something or someone, just not of the guy sitting behind her.With her earbuds canceling out all noise, she might not have heard the man take out his knife. Before she knew it, he was stabbing her neck, killing her. Did the other passengers scream? Did anyone try to do anything to alert her to the danger? No. They were too afraid. When her murderer finished, he paced around the train as the passengers huddled in fear, with blood dripping all around him, her blood. She escaped the war in Ukraine only to be murdered by a country also at war, at war with the truth. The truth about crime, about mental health, about Defund the Police, about bad governance.There was a time when this would have been a major news story. Now, after 2020, this story would have to be memory-holed, like every other story where a Black man is the perp. The only stories that go viral now or become major news stories are those that fit the narrative - it's white men, incels, “white supremacists,” and MAGA you have to fear. So, how would Iryna have known to even be afraid or cautious that she might want to find a seat far from everyone on the train? Maybe she wouldn't wear her headphones. Maybe she would look around at everyone, even the guy sitting behind her. But she didn't. Here are Megyn Kelly, Rich Lowry, and Charles C. W. Cooke.Stories like these are reported on local news, but they never capture the attention of the major networks or legacy media, like this story of a woman in Chicago who was beaten to a pulp by a repeat offender. Reporting on white women as victims might devalue their brand. It might generate outrage and an uproar that they are contributing to racism and discrimination. But what about Iryna and other young women just like her? Will we send them out into the world without warning that violence can come at any time, no matter the skin color?And why is everyone okay with the double standard? The silence by the media on deaths or killings that don't involve a white man? How do they get away with lying to their viewers and their readers? Has the New York Times even covered this story? If they do, it will likely be only to call out “MAGA” for turning it into a story about race.“Don't be a Good White Liberal” Those were the words I told my daughter many years ago when she went off to college. “Always protect yourself, no matter who it is. Don't let white guilt prevent you from being cautious.” I had to tell her that. I had to drill it into her head. It would be our secret. She would never have to tell anyone, but she would know. What prompted me to tell her that was the story of Lily Burk from 2009. She was the daughter of a progressive Liberal who helped her mother feed the homeless in Los Angeles. She attended one of the expensive, fancy private schools I could never have afforded for my daughter. One day, Burk wanted to practice driving, so her mother sent her out to run some errands. She happened to see one of the homeless people she fed for charity. She knew him. He knew her. He pressured her to drive him to an ATM and get him some money. Her card didn't work. So he bashed her head against the dashboard and murdered her.That was long before Black Lives Matter, before Defund the Police, before cashless bail. Even then, it wasn't exactly easy to talk about a crime like this, much less warn our daughters as they headed off to college. But that story haunted me. Even now, I can't imagine what it must have been like for her mother to wonder, How could I have let her take my car? How could I have raised her to be so trusting? Why didn't I tell her to be cautious even around homeless Black men? I knew I had to get the message across to my daughter, Don't be a Good White Liberal at the cost of your own safety. You'd think I would have followed my own advice. But white guilt runs deep. That's why in 2023, I fell for a scam. I thought it was a call from my bank. I could tell the caller was Black, so I was as accommodating and trusting as I could be, not wanting to seem like a Karen. He told me that someone had stolen my bank card, and he listed my purchases. Somehow, he had my account information. Then he said, “Did you wire $4,000 to someone?” And in a panic, I said NO! He said he'd stop the payment, but I had to confirm that it was me. That was my mistake. If I hadn't been trying not to be a racist, I might have doubted him or asked him if I could call him back, but I was too worried about his feelings. Once he got my confirmation, he was able to disappear with $5,000 from my bank account, all the money I had. I've never told that story because I am ashamed of how stupid I was, how easily manipulated I was, and that white guilt. It turned out to be a harbinger of things to come. The next year, I was canceled by Hollywood and called a “racist,” which would wipe out my income. Oh, the irony.The story here isn't to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous. It's that white guilt often means ignoring the gut instinct for self-protection. The false narrative pushed out by Hollywood, the legacy media, and the Democrats - that only white men are bad or violent will ultimately make all women unsafe, and hiding the truth to fit the narrative will get more women like Iryna killed.Every night I go to sleep, I worry about my daughter. I want Trump to send the National Guard into Cleveland. I want her to be protected while living in such close proximity to a high-crime city. But if she can't be protected and the streets can't be safe, then let her remember to protect herself, to be aware of who and what is around her at all times. I made her watch the video. I don't want her to be another girl on the train, failed by weak leaders and undone by white guilt. Iryna deserved better. She deserved to fulfill her life as an artist. To maybe get married, maybe travel back to Ukraine when the war is over. But most of all, she deserved to be safe, to be left alone, to make it to her stop just so she could get off the train and find her way back home safe and sound.The GoFundMe for Iryna has now raised $112,616. // This is a public episode.
