Jonathan Alvarez grew up in Yonkers, New York, where his life was shaped by loss and survival from an early age. At just 10 years old, his father was sent to federal prison and deported for drug trafficking — leaving Jonathan to fend for himself. By 12, he was selling drugs on the streets, and by 17, he was indicted on a gang-related murder charge that led to nearly 13 years behind bars. But prison didn't break him — it transformed him. #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #GangLife #NewYorkPrisons #SurvivingPrison #RedemptionStory #realstories Thank you to RULA, CASH APP & PELIPOST for sponsoring this episode: Rula: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Harley will share Anchor's innovations in fasteners designed to keep buildings safe "against the wind." Join them as they discuss a powerful case study from iPark Hudson in Yonkers, New York, where Anchor's U-Anchors stood firm through Superstorm Sandy, protecting the rooftop solar investment when other systems failed.

There is an interesting theme coursing through these are three dynamic pop hits of the Brill Building era, all by one hit wonders, sung by extraordinary, up and coming stylists, and crafted by some of the most influential music men of the time: Cathy Carroll's 1962 hit, “Poor Little Puppet” (produced and arranged by Stan Applebaum, written by Howard Greenfield (Neil Sedaka's partner, here collaborating with Jack Keller); 1963's “Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys Do,” by Earl-Jean McCrae (with the Cookies), produced by Gerry Goffin, written by Goffin and Carole King, also with Jack Keller; and Tracey Dey, singing “I Won't Tell,” from 1964, produced by Bob Crewe, written by Crewe with The Four Season's Bob Gaudio. The theme is irony. All three feature tough minded, independent young females, endeavoring for autonomy in a man's world, delivering songs written by powerful men who controlled every aspect of their creation and production. These appeared in the time pre-Women's Liberation, and demonstrate strength, heartbreak, and a tension that pulls against the undertoe of subservience.Taken in chronological order:“Poor Little Puppet” was originally recorded by Jan and Dean in 1961 as a sleepy, Everly Brothers clone, and it didn't do much. But, here, as interpreted by Cathy Carroll, and helmed by Stan Applebaum, the tune takes flight in a punchier, more uptempo arrangement. It charted at 91 on the top 100 - Cathy's only showing, and the surprise twist at the end is powerful, when the singer, looking in the mirror, admits that she herself is the puppet, whose strings are being controlled by the man whose love she craves.2. In 1963, The Cookies were on top with “Chains,” the Goffin-King hit, later covered by The Beatles, and “Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys Do,” (also by those chart-topping songwriters), was perfectly designed for them and their irresistible lead singer Earl-Jean McCrae. When they sing: “I'm everything a girl should be.. 36-21-35,” it feels quite cringe-worthy nowadays. Irresistible is right, because Gerry Goffin proceeded to make a baby with the vocalist, even though his marriage with King remained undissolved until 6 years later. They even continued to write for Earl-Jean, creating (I'm Into Something Good - which she recorded before Herman's Hermits)3. In “I Won't Tell,” from 1964, the singer vows to keep her illicit romance a secret, so as not to hurt her sister. Tracey Dey, born Nora Ferrari in Yonkers, had made a name for herself as the “Teenage Cleopatra” capitalizing on the notoriety of the Liz Taylor blockbuster. She caught the eye of The Four Season's maestro, Bob Gaudio when she recorded “Jerry, I'm your Sherry” , playing off the title of the group's hit ‘Sherry”. Together with the production genius Bob Crewe, they crafted this pop classic the teenage Cleo. Tracey soon got out of the business, earned a Master's degree from Columbia, and became a teacher and screenwriter. Clearly, this was a savvy entrepreneur from an early age. (Btw: the original masters of this recording were lost - so, this version was taken directly off a 45 disc). Enjoy!
Eric, Jeff, Styles, Sheek and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to break down The Sixth Sense, the 1999 American psychological thriller film written and directed by M.

Kiara McBain, creator of The Rubber Band Method and author of Hands-on Yoga Assists, shares how consent-based touch can become a powerful tool for nervous system regulation and trauma recovery. Dr. Alex Hilario, founder of Chiropractic Rehabilitation Source, reveals how holistic chiropractic care can help people avoid surgery, reduce chronic pain, and restore the body's natural healing capacity. From honoring personal boundaries in yoga to understanding the root causes of physical dysfunction, this conversation offers practical strategies for reconnecting with your body, reducing stress, and building resilience—whether you're recovering from trauma, managing chronic pain, or simply seeking a deeper mind-body connection. About the Guests Kiara McBainYoga educator, trauma survivor, and creator of The Rubber Band Method—a consent-driven, anatomy-informed approach to hands-on yoga assists. Author of Hands-on Yoga Assists, she empowers teachers to use touch ethically and skillfully for nervous system regulation.Website: rubberbandmethod.com Dr. Alex HilarioChiropractor and founder of Chiropractic Rehabilitation Source in Yonkers, NY. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Hilario helps patients avoid invasive surgery and chronic medications through chiropractic care, acupuncture, and a holistic mind-body-spirit approach.Website: https://chirorehabsource.com/ Key Takeaways : Consent in touch is essential for creating safety, especially in yoga and wellness spaces. The nervous system's state directly impacts overall health—regulated touch can help reduce stress hormones and increase oxytocin. Many people carry undisclosed trauma, making respectful consent crucial in any hands-on practice. Holistic chiropractic care addresses the root cause of pain by restoring spinal alignment and nervous system function. Healing is a process—quick fixes often mask symptoms without resolving the underlying issue. Quality of touch involves reading body cues and adjusting pressure based on individual needs. Chronic stress is often an upstream cause of multiple physical and mental health issues. Integrating safe, non-invasive practices like chiropractic, massage, yoga, and breathwork can accelerate recovery. Hope and belief in the body's capacity to heal are integral to the healing journey. Adults, like children, still need regular, healthy touch for emotional and physical well-being.

Today's episode of UFC Unfiltered delivers a powerful mix of rising talent and personal triumph as Jim and Matt welcome UFC featherweight prospect Austin Bashi and DWCS hopeful Jimmy Drago. First up is Bashi, fresh off his first UFC victory — a slick first-round submission over John Yannis. He reflects on bouncing back from his debut loss, chasing a dream he's had since childhood, and what it was like mimicking Alexander Volkanovski in Diego Lopes' camp. Between guests, Jim and Matt break down highlights from UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park — including standout performances from Tatsuro Taira, Chris Duncan, Esteban Ribovics, and more. Then, Jimmy Drago joins ahead of his Dana White's Contender Series debut on August 12th. The Yonkers native shares his incredible story — from losing his father, a 9/11 first responder, to battling addiction and surviving eight overdoses. With sobriety, discipline, and grit, Drago turned a goal of just winning one pro fight into a legitimate UFC dream — and he's one win away from making it real when he faces Ty Miller on the first DWCS card of 2025.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. PC Pres Corps Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into the explosive fallout from a leaked intelligence report questioning the effectiveness of a recent U.S. military strike on Teran. Hosts Clay and Buck, alongside commentary from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, launch a full-throated defense of the mission and President Donald Trump’s leadership, while sharply criticizing the mainstream media for what they describe as politically motivated reporting. The hour opens with a breakdown of the CNN and New York Times leaks, which suggested the strike may have failed. Buck Sexton, drawing on his intelligence background, explains the complexities of identifying leakers and the dangers of politicizing classified information. The hosts argue that the leak was a deliberate attempt by the “deep state” to undermine President Trump’s credibility and military success. Pete Hegseth’s fiery Pentagon press conference is a focal point, where he accuses the press corps of rooting against Trump and downplaying the bravery and precision of U.S. pilots. The segment includes a viral moment where Hegseth is questioned for not explicitly acknowledging female pilots, prompting a broader discussion on gender politics in the military and media. A former female military pilot calls in to express support for Hegseth, dismissing the controversy as media-driven nitpicking. Why What Happens in NY Matters Everywhere the political upheaval surrounding New York City's mayoral race, highlighting the rise of Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani's nomination, emphasizing how his progressive platform—backed by figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders—signals a broader shift within the Democratic Party. They explore the national ramifications of this political momentum, warning that what happens in New York could soon influence Democrat-led cities across the country. The hosts critique Mamdani's proposals, including an 800% increase in funding for hate crime prevention and his assertion that the criminal justice system is inherently racist. They argue these initiatives are more about left-wing indoctrination than effective governance. The conversation also touches on Mamdani's savvy use of social media and his appeal to younger voters, many of whom are financially supported by their parents and drawn to socialism despite benefiting from capitalism. Local Story with National Reach Eric Adams, the current NYC mayor, is portrayed as a potential moderate counterweight, possibly running as an independent. The show discusses the strategic challenges Adams faces, especially if former Governor Andrew Cuomo enters the race, potentially splitting the anti-Mamdani vote. The hosts also examine the fractured state of the Democratic Party, debating whether it can still suppress far-left candidates or if it will continue to “double down on crazy.” President Donald Trump is referenced as a stabilizing force, particularly in contrast to the chaos the hosts associate with progressive policies. They highlight the effectiveness of Trump-era immigration enforcement, with praise for figures like Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, and criticize sanctuary city policies that undermine federal law enforcement. The hour concludes with a broader cultural critique, linking the rise of socialism to generational entitlement and a rejection of meritocracy. The hosts argue that capitalism’s success has ironically enabled the luxury of anti-capitalist sentiment, particularly among younger, affluent urban voters. Do You Buy This Story? Jamaal Bowman's questionable story about being yelled at by a white dude in Yonkers, NY. Media bias and the decline of CNN’s credibility. Jake Tapper lectures us on the purpose of journalism. Clay and Buck point out that CNN has become a partisan outlet, losing its former status as a trusted news source. They discuss whether the network is salvageable and propose that only a radical overhaul—possibly led by a figure like Megyn Kelly—could restore its relevance. The show also explores internal divisions within the Democratic Party, sparked by Chris Cuomo’s criticism of the party’s far-left wing, including figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders. The hosts argue that the Democratic Party is increasingly dominated by anti-capitalist, radical progressive ideologies, which they claim alienate moderate voters and threaten national unity. Further discussion includes the media’s treatment of conservatives, the legacy of Trumpism, and the broad coalition President Trump has built, including former Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. The hosts highlight how Trump’s second term is marked by a more strategic and media-savvy administration.
