#145Josh sits down with chef, restaurateur, author, and television pioneer Rocco DiSpirito for a wide-ranging conversation about how dramatically the path of a chef has changed. Recorded at Bar Rocco, the episode begins with Josh realizing that Rocco actually judged a cooking competition he entered 25 years ago, before the two revisit their shared connection to legendary chef Gray Kunz. Rocco traces his own path from earning 50 cents an hour at a Queens pizzeria to culinary school, Europe, Lespinasse, Union Pacific, television, health and wellness, and eventually back into restaurants. Along the way, they unpack what young cooks once had to endure to gain access to culinary knowledge and whether today's chefs really need the same years of repetition and classical training now that so much information is instantly available online.  Rocco and Josh also get into the realities of building a sustainable career as a chef, from why great food alone may no longer be enough to why Rocco's former business partner taught him to balance "perfecting" with "promoting." They discuss social media, chef IP, restaurant ownership, licensing and management deals, and why Rocco believes younger chefs shouldn't become overly protective of a name or trademark. Rocco shares how triathlon training transformed his approach to health and led to nine health and wellness books, names some of the cookbooks that shaped him, and gets deep into the technique behind cooking with black truffles. The conversation closes with what's ahead: more Bar Rocco, a new book blending recipes and stories, his work with CookUnity, and, above all, a desire to keep cooking.  Links and resources

The world’s top tennis players will spend many hours under the lights over the next two weeks. And thanks to some changes made a couple of years ago, almost all of the light will shine down on them – not into the sky. The U.S. Open is played on 17 tournament courts and five practice courts in Queens, New York. Many of the sessions take place at night. But conventional outdoor lighting directs a lot of light into the sky, producing light pollution. To reduce the glow, the venue replaced its lighting in 2024. The new L-E-D fixtures are shaped and shielded so that almost all of their light shines down onto the courts. The change was certified as “dark-sky friendly” by DarkSky International, a group that’s been encouraging better outdoor lightning for 25 years. Cities, parks, and other places get certified by changing their lighting, and enacting policies designed to keep night skies dark. In all, the group has certified more than 270 sites around the world. And since 2019, it’s certified more than 40 sports venues, most of them in the U.S. – from Texarkana to Waukesha, Wisconsin, and from Seattle to Panama City, Florida. Light pollution does more than just ruin the view of the night sky. It can interfere with the migration of birds, sea turtles, and other animals. It wastes energy and money. And it can hurt people’s health. So reducing light pollution is a winning strategy. Script by Damond Benningfield

Today's guest is Jennifer Capozzi, an IFBB Bikini Pro, wife, mom of two, certified personal trainer, and Bombshell Fitness coach who has been coaching for more than 13 years. Originally from Queens, New York, she now calls the East End of Long Island home. Fitness has been a constant throughout her life, and she has built a career around helping both everyday women and competitive athletes become stronger, build muscle, and create sustainable lifestyles. Her competitive bodybuilding journey began more than a decade ago at the 2013 Brooklyn Grand Prix, and she has competed extensively across the NPC, including numerous Masters and Open competitions never placing out of top 5. After years of competing, multiple national-level placings, and coming close to the top of her divisions, she ultimately earned her IFBB Pro Card at the 2024 Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh, winning the Masters 40+ division. She made her professional debut in 2025 at the GRL PWR Pro, competing in Masters 40+. She is passionate about bodybuilding as an art form and believes that strength, discipline, and consistency can help women build not only their physiques, but also their confidence.   QUICK RECAP: The episode featured a conversation between Celeste and IFBB Bikini Pro Jennifer Capozzi, who shared her journey from starting bodybuilding in 2013 to earning her pro card in 2024. Jennifer discussed the challenges of balancing competition with motherhood, the evolution of the bikini division, and the importance of discipline and consistency. She emphasized the role of support systems, communication, and self-talk in overcoming doubts and achieving long-term goals. Jennifer also spoke about her coaching philosophy, which focuses on listening and meeting clients where they are, and encouraged women to pursue competition if they feel the calling. The conversation covered her experiences backstage, the changes in the sport, and her future aspirations, including competing at the Masters Olympia.   Celeste interviewed Jennifer Capozzi, an IFBB Bikini Pro and personal trainer, discussing her competitive bodybuilding journey spanning over a decade. Jennifer shared her pre-stage routine, which involves breathwork to manage nerves and focus on the hard work already completed. She explained how her approach to competition has evolved over time, learning to transform anxiety into positive energy and use feedback from placements to drive continuous improvement rather than get discouraged by consistent second-place finishes. Jennifer's Bodybuilding Journey Jennifer discussed how she discovered bodybuilding after growing up in a very active family with three brothers, where she was the only girl and participated in all their sports and activities. She began bodybuilding in 2013 after her brother-in-law, an Olympic and IFBB pro bodybuilder, encouraged her to try it, and she won her first show, which motivated her to continue. Jennifer managed to balance training with being a mother of two young children by preparing family meals together and incorporating healthy eating habits for everyone. Bodybuilding Division Evolution Discussion Jennifer discussed the evolution of bodybuilding, particularly in the bikini division, noting how competitors have become larger over time. She explained how the introduction of the Fit Model division created more opportunities for athletes, allowing them to focus on building muscle while maintaining an artistic approach without the extreme demands of traditional bikini competition. Jennifer emphasized that both divisions require significant dedication and commitment, with the goal of continuous improvement rather than maintaining a specific body standard. Competitor's Journey to Professional Success Jennifer shared her journey from her first nervous competition to becoming a professional competitor, describing how she overcame initial anxiety and developed discipline through structured training and diet. She explained that seeing herself on stage successfully motivated her to pursue professional competition, and she eventually joined the Bombshell team where she now coaches others. Jennifer described her personal mission as helping women find their strength and voice while balancing life responsibilities, noting how her own journey has prepared her to mentor other competitors. Balancing Bodybuilding with Motherhood Jennifer discussed her journey balancing bodybuilding with motherhood, emphasizing the importance of communication and support from her family. She shared how she overcame initial mom guilt by explaining her passion to her children and husband, who accommodated her schedule by planning around her competitions and providing emotional support. Jennifer noted that her children now understand the dedication required in competitive sports through their own dance training, which involves similar time commitments and physical demands. Bodybuilding Family Support Discussion Jennifer discussed how her daughters help with posing and guidance during her bodybuilding competitions, though they sometimes get frustrated when she doesn't pick up techniques as quickly as they do. She explained that her daughters specialize in lyrical and contemporary dance rather than ballet or tap. Jennifer also shared that her husband has been a strong support throughout their 22-year marriage, helping with meal preparation and maintaining open communication, which they both consider essential for their relationship. Managing Competitive Goals Strategically Jennifer discussed strategies for managing social relationships while pursuing a competitive goal, emphasizing the importance of clear communication with supportive friends and family about her vision. She advised finding alternative social activities beyond traditional dining and drinking, and suggested focusing on appreciation rather than demanding more sacrifices from loved ones. Jennifer also shared her approach to overcoming doubts and emotional exhaustion during her long-term competitive efforts, describing how morning self-talk and meditation helped her maintain motivation and focus on her goals. Bodybuilding Life Skills Transfer Celeste and Jennifer discussed how the discipline and structure developed through bodybuilding transfers to other areas of life, including work and parenting. Jennifer explained how maintaining routines and proper nutrition has helped her children excel in activities like dance and school. They also discussed how bodybuilding taught Jennifer the importance of patience and proper nutrition, which she applies to daily life and considers a form of self-care. Bodybuilding Competition Experience Jennifer described her experience winning a pro card at a bodybuilding competition in Pittsburgh, where she was called out on stage multiple times and ultimately achieved her goal. After winning her pro card, she competed in the Girl Power show where she placed 8th, receiving feedback to come back bigger. Jennifer expressed interest in competing at the Girl Power show again in 2027, citing the all-female atmosphere, supportive team environment, and positive experience at the Orlando venue as reasons for wanting to return. Pro Competition Training and Goals Jennifer shared her experience transitioning from amateur to professional competition, describing how the longer stage time in the pro division allowed her to enjoy the moment more and connect with judges. She outlined her current training approach with Jessica, focusing on a 5-day split routine and consistent nutrition, while working to develop her glutes and shoulders for future bikini competition success. Jennifer expressed her long-term goal of qualifying for the Masters Olympia and her passion for coaching other women toward their fitness and competition goals, emphasizing the importance of building daily habits and mental toughness. Competitor Challenges and Coaching Strategies Jennifer discussed the challenges competitors face, particularly issues with family support and making excuses to avoid following through with their fitness goals. She emphasized the importance of maintaining some structure and discipline, even if it's just 10 minutes of activity. Jennifer identified listening as the key difference between good and great coaching, and shared her approach to having difficult conversations with clients about realistic goals and timelines. Aspiring Competitors Coaching Advice Jennifer shared advice for aspiring competitors, emphasizing the importance of following through on visions, finding a good coach, and starting with local competitions. She discussed her preference for training core and glutes, and mentioned her memorable first competition and pro win experience. Jennifer also provided her social media handles for people to connect with her and learn more about her coaching services.

Jo Reed talks with contributor Stephen Cummings about three memoirs created with audio at their center, using performance, archival clips, live recordings, and the human voice to tell their stories. Billy Eichner looks back at his Queens childhood, his rise through Billy on the Street, and the creation of the film Bros in Billy on Billy, an audio-only memoir that mixes his narration with clips from his career and reveals a more reflective side of the famously confrontational comedian. In Peeing in an Empty Bottle, comedian Roz Hernandez takes listeners along on a solo tour through the South and Midwest, combining exuberant narration with live performances and recorded conversations that explore comedy, community, and the realities of traveling through America as a transgender woman. Voice actor Billy West draws on his extraordinary vocal range in Voice-A-Versa, a memoir in which his honesty is as striking as his virtuosity. West moves from a painful childhood to the many characters he created for dozens of commercials and TV programs such as The Ren & Stimpy Show and Futurama (among many others), as well as his years on The Howard Stern Show. Together, the three audiobooks show what happens when memoir is conceived for the ear, making the voices, performances, and sounds of a life part of the storytelling itself.   Audiobooks Discussed: Billy on Billy: An Audio Memoir, written and read by Billy Eichner (Macmillan Audio) Peeing in an Empty Bottle (And Other Glamorous Shenanigans of an Almost-Famous Transgender Comedienne on the Road), written and read by Roz Hernandez (Simon & Schuster Audio) Voice-A-Versa: Finding My Voice(s) Behind the Mic, written and read by Billy West (Recorded Books Inc.)

Supreme McGriff Jr. grew up in Queens not fully understanding who his father was until the stories, the attention, and the weight of the name Kenneth Supreme McGriff started shaping everything around him — while his mother worked to keep him away from the path that had defined his father's legacy and the federal prison sentence that followed it. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what finding out his father is Kenneth Supreme McGriff actually produced in him, what his upbringing in Queens really looked like with that name attached to everything, what his own trouble with scamming and his time on Rikers Island actually involved, what deciding to create an Instagram account with his father's name attached to his own actually set in motion — the celebrities who reached out, the stories with Mike Tyson, the 50 Cent beef, and the complete truth about what carrying one of the most recognized and most feared names in New York street history actually costs the son who never chose it. _____________________________________________  #TrueCrime #RikersIsland #supreme #50Cent #prisonstories _____________________________________________  Thank you to HUNGRYROOT & AG1 for sponsoring this episode: Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Connect with Supreme McGriff Jr: https://www.instagram.com/supreme_mcgriff/?hl=en _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Growing Up In Queens 01:02 Discovering My Father's Identity 03:13 My Dad's Life And Their Split 05:17 Life Before Knowing The Truth 07:31 Learning About My Dad From The Streets 09:39 The 50 Cent Connection 10:02 Law Enforcement's Perspective 11:21 Meeting My Dad For The First Time 13:41 First Phone Call With Supreme 14:28 Advice And Avoiding The Streets 16:17 Inevitable Pull Of The Streets 17:37 Uncle Comes Home From Prison 18:08 Street Culture Today 19:40 Dad's Fear For My Safety 22:16 Bill Courtney And The Movie 24:29 Sponsor: Hungry Root 27:11 Finding Myself In My Late Teens 29:25 Introduction To Scamming 30:38 Mom Discovers The Truth 32:36 Dad Finds Out I'm Scamming 35:26 Turning Myself In 36:44 Incarceration And Identity 38:23 Why Scamming Over Drugs 39:17 My Rikers Experience 43:28 Keeping My Identity Private In Jail 48:48 Life After Rikers 51:33 Finding My Path 53:17 Going Viral With 50 Cent's Son 55:20 Trolling And Building A Brand 56:04 The Brother Rumor 59:59 First Celebrity Encounters 01:01:31 Interviews And 50 Cent Questions 01:03:06 Biggest Conspiracy Theories 01:04:43 Dad's Take On My Interviews 01:06:47 Supreme Clothing Brand Connection 01:08:13 Mike Tyson Saved My Life 01:13:23 A Movie About My Dad 01:14:48 Thoughts On Meech 01:19:39 Challenging Lil Meech To A Fight 01:25:09 My Current Businesses 01:27:16 Relationship With My Dad Now 01:30:08 Hope For My Dad's Release 01:32:24 My Dad's Legacy 01:33:09 Changing My Last Name 01:33:34 Meeting My Half Sister 01:34:11 My Mom's Thoughts On My Fame 01:35:27 The Hit On My Mom 01:37:28 What If I Never Knew _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Michael J. Weithorn knows a thing or two about making television work — and about what happens when it doesn't. The creator of The King of Queens joins Jay Kogen to talk about the years of trial, error, difficult actors, canceled shows, and hard-earned lessons that eventually led to one of television's most successful sitcoms. Michael shares how Jerry Stiller initially turned down The King of Queens, what it was like having Charlie Kaufman in the Ned and Stacey writers' room, recognizing Bryan Cranston's talent long before Breaking Bad, and what he learned about running a television show from Family Ties creator Gary David Goldberg. They also get into the strange reality of creative success: after you finally make the hit show, are you allowed to stop trying? Jay and Michael compare The Simpsons and The King of Queens, talk about why writers keep creating long after they have something to rest their laurels on, and wonder whether any of it ever actually feels like enough. Plus, Michael discusses directing Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick in his new film The Best You Can, the disappearing world of old-school TV writers' rooms, and why comedy writers may simply be incapable of leaving a perfectly good dramatic moment alone. Michael J. Weithorn is an award-winning writer, producer, director, and creator of The King of Queens, with credits including Family Ties, Cheers, Ned and Stacey, True Colors, and The Wonder Years. Bio: Michael J. Weithorn is an award-winning writer, producer, and director with over four decades of experience in Hollywood television and film. He is best known as the creator and executive producer of The King of Queens, the beloved CBS sitcom that ran for nine seasons and 207 episodes, and has brought numerous other series to life across major networks, including Ned and Stacey, True Colors, and Weird Loners. Earlier in his career, he honed his craft as a producer and story editor on Family Ties and earned a WGA Award for his Cheers script and an Emmy nomination for The Wonder Years. His feature work includes A Little Help (2011) and the upcoming The Best You Can (2025), starring Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Judd Hirsch, and Ray Romano.  Beyond his creative work, Weithorn is a dedicated educator, teaching screenwriting as an adjunct professor at Columbia University's MFA program and UC Santa Barbara, while also leading comedy writing workshops for organizations including the Ghetto Film School and Inside Out Writers, an L.A.-based anti-recidivism program.

570. People constantly tell Billy Eichner he's fearless, and they always want to know how he does it. In Savvy Psychologist's first-ever interview episode, Dr. Judy Ho sits down with the comedian behind "Billy on the Street" and "Parks and Recreation" to trace that boldness back to its source, and it isn't the one you'd expect. There's a stubborn myth that artists have to suffer to be great, but Billy's story is the opposite: two middle-class parents in a small Queens apartment who never instilled an ounce of shame in him and leaned all the way into who he was. His new audio memoir, "Billy on Billy," reveals how feeling completely safe and accepted as a kid is what gave him permission to take risks and become fully himself. The reframe at the heart of it: real confidence is built by love, not forged through pain. Listen to "Billy on Billy: An Audio Memoir" Have a mental health question?

Have you ever hit every single goal you set out for yourself and still felt completely empty inside? That's the exact moment I found myself in years ago, staring at a stack of investor paperwork worth millions, and I couldn't sign it. I was recently interviewed by Eric Berman on Inside The Speakeasy. It was a great experience! We discuss my journey from extreme burnout to creating a life centered around freedom, fulfillment, and intentional success. Inside The Speakeasy, hosted by Eric Berman, gives entrepreneurs, founders, marketers, and creators an inside look at what it really takes to build and scale a successful business. Each episode features candid conversations with ambitious leaders who share the strategies, lessons, failures, and breakthroughs that shaped their journey. From startup growth and marketing execution to leadership and innovation, guests reveal what is actually working in today's business landscape. If you're ready to think bigger, take smarter risks, and accelerate your growth, pull up a chair and step Inside The Speakeasy. In this conversation, Eric and I got real about what it actually costs to grind your way to the top. I told him the story of building a tech startup in New York City in my early twenties, working over a hundred hours a week, running on four or five hours of sleep, and finally landing seven figure funding deals with partnerships tied to companies like Microsoft and IBM. On paper, I had made it. In my gut, I was smoked. My brother and I sat in our tiny apartment in Queens and ripped up the paperwork instead of signing it. That decision changed the entire direction of my life. We talked about why so many high performing entrepreneurs are optimizing every part of their business while completely neglecting the systems that support their own happiness. It's easy to build a scoreboard for revenue and totally forget to build one for your own peace. That's actually the question I think every entrepreneur needs to sit with. Are you chasing your own definition of success, or somebody else's? I chased someone else's for a long time, and it nearly cost me everything that actually mattered. One of the bigger things we got into is what I call the more disease. It's this constant craving for more money, more status, more followers, more stuff, and it infects high performers especially hard because we're wired to always push for the next level. The cure isn't actually more. It's contentment. Getting crystal clear on what you truly want and then practicing real gratitude for it, that's what breaks the cycle. Success without fulfillment is a trap, and I've watched it swallow people who look like they have everything. We also dug into digital overload, and honestly this one hits people harder than they realize. Constant screens, constant notifications, constant comparison, it quietly wrecks your happiness, your focus, and your relationships without you even noticing it happening. I shared some of the simple habits I use to fight it, like keeping the first and last thirty minutes of my day completely screen free. And we talked about growth. Real growth doesn't happen by accident. It takes consistent investment, reading in the morning, listening to something good in the afternoon, watching something educational at night. Small, repeatable habits stacked on top of each other over time. That's the whole game. If any of this is landing for you, do yourself a favor and go listen to the full conversation with Eric on Inside The Speakeasy.

September is just around the corner and with the start of the new month comes the fall film festival circuit. Taylor Antrim served as a guest host on today's episode and was joined by fellow Vogue editors and cinephiles Liam Hess and Lisa Wong Macabasco. They discussed the slate of fall film festivals ahead. Liam will be attending Venice—the first and most glamorous of the bunch—and then Taylor and Lisa will both be headed to Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) as well as New York Film Festival (NYFF). “We do get the opportunity sometimes to see some of these festival films before they come out in the festivals because they're trying to drum up support from Vogue and other, other outlets,” Taylor explained. As such, they began their conversation by shouting out some of the films they've already had the chance to see. First on that list was the New York centric film Paper Tiger, by James Gray starring Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson. “There's a lot of wigs and suits and accents that are a little over the top,” Lisa noted of the thriller that takes places in Queens, New York in the eighties. After watching the film, Taylor found himself asking his group chats “Is Adam Driver a great actor or not?” The cohort weighed in on this quandary.  They weighed in on All of A Sudden, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's French language debut, Fjord, Cristian Mungiu's legal thriller starring podcast favorite Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan,  Hope, an action film starring two-time Vogue cover star Ho-yeon, and Gentle Monster, a vehicle for an incredible performance from Léa Seydoux. In a final lightning round, they each shared the two films they are most excited to see at the festivals. For Liam, he is looking forward to catching Possible Love by Lee Chang-dong and Primetime, a striking portrayal of television host Chris Hansen. Lisa is excited for Bucking Fastard, starring the Mara sisters as twins, and Misty Green, Chris Rock's directorial return promising a commentary about race in Hollywood. Taylor rounded it out with Ink from Danny Boyle, a biographical film about Rupert Murdoch's acquisition of The Sun, and Magazine, an indie pick from Vogue contributor Alexandra Pechman.  Also on today's episode, Chloe is joined by Marley Marius to talk about the big news of the week: the reported return of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the UK. They also discuss the latest movies they've seen (Paw Patrol for Chloe and Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter for Marley) and which stars they are most excited to see on the Venice red carpet (hint: it starts with Parker and ends with Posey). And they gushed over Margaret Qualley's Chanel barefoot sandals which she rocked at a recent red carpet appearance for The Dog Stars in London. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Toby Wilkinson, Part Two: The Ptolemaic family's decline is driven by internal civil wars, incestuous marriages, and rising Roman influence. Highly ambitious queens like Cleopatra I and Cleopatra III emerge as central political forces. The narrative culminates with Cleopatra VII, who strategically allies with Julius Caesar, whose military forces accidentally burn down Alexandria's great library. Following Caesar's death, Cleopatra forms a powerful political and romantic union with Mark Antony. However, their coalition collapses after their defeat by Octavian at the Battle of Actium. Antony dies in her arms, and Cleopatra commits suicide to avoid Roman captivity, ending the three-century-long Macedonian dynasty. (2)
