How Former Mob Boss, Michael Franzese, Found Love and God
"Michael, we're talking about Mafia. We're talking about prison. You were in The Second Time, I guess you were telling me, and is that when you had this experience with God? When did you hit bottom? What happened? Because people do not expect somebody who's really in the Mafia. We're not talking like you're some fringe character. You are right in the middle. At what point do things change for you? Well, I was, you know, I grew up a Catholic, but quite honestly, Catholic Catholicism to me was like a subject in school. I wasn't a practicing religious guy at all. But I meet my young wife who's a devout Christian. Her mother... She was at that time? At that time. 20 years old, devout Christian. I met her on the set of a movie that I was producing at the time. She was a dancer in the film. What year was this? This was in 1984. Okay, so you're in the middle of this life. In the middle. I mean, mob guy all the way. This is who I was. You're a mob guy, but you still maintain this legitimate veneer. You're producing a movie. Correct. And your wife was a 20 -year -old in the movie. Dancer in the film, yeah. Okay. And I meet her without getting in all of it. You know, originally she didn't want to have anything to do with me, but I pursued her very heavily. Now, why did she know? I mean, was she an Evangelical Christian at that time? Yeah. Okay, that's why she didn't want anything to do with you, because you were not. Well, no, she didn't know who I was. She thought I was the producer of the movie. No, no, but what I'm saying is that she knew you were not an Evangelical believer. That's not why she was turned off on me. Okay, I want to hear it. I was the producer of the film. She thought I was too old for her. Okay, all right. And I'm 12 years older than her. You know, quite honestly, I was messing around with a lot of women on the set, so she wasn't into that. So when I first spotted her coming out of a pool in a hotel in South Florida, I had thrown a party for everybody. I had everybody staying at the hotel. She just blew me away when I saw her, and so I wanted to meet her, and the choreographer introduced me to her. I asked her out on a date. I said, let me buy you lunch. She said, great. And we set a place and a time, and she doesn't show up. So I'm pursuing her throughout the whole production of the movie, basically. And I always treated women respectfully, so it wasn't like I was acting foolish, but she just didn't want to have anything to do with me. She would say, yes, I'll meet you, and then never show up. Well, one night I happened to corner her. We were coming out of a cast meeting, and we started talking a little bit, and she finally opens up to me. She's from Anaheim, California, and she told me she was a believer or a girl of faith or something like that as we got into the conversation. And a long story short, we start to know each other a little more as we're filming the movie. Finish the movie, wrap it very close to her mother. She says, you've got to come home to Anaheim and meet my mother. I said, hey, great. Let's go. I'm great with moms, right? We jump on a plane. I meet her mom, Irma, the most godly woman I ever met in my life. I mean, you meet Irma for two minutes, your name goes into a prayer book. She had a prayer book like a telephone book, Eric. I'm not kidding. Godly woman, simple woman, never hit me over the head with the Bible, but lived her life like Jesus was her best friend. And I can only say that. And I'm impressed with these two women. They really were serious about their faith. You'd never seen anything like this. Never saw anything like that. No. No. And so here's what's happening to me. I'm falling in love with this young girl, falling in love with her. Eric, here's the amazing thing. I meet her. I'm at the top of my game. I'm mob guy all the way. I'm my father's son. Honestly, they were grooming me to be the boss or the underboss. I mean, I was going up in that life. Excuse me. And all of a sudden I meet her and my love for her is becoming stronger than this lifelong bond, this love that I had for my dad. It's becoming stronger even than this blood oath that I took to La Cosa Nostra. And you got to understand something. It was never on my radar screen to ever walk away from that life. It's not even a thought. Yeah. But here's what's happening. Something's coming over me. And honestly, I had nothing to do with God at that point. I respected their beliefs. I wasn't buying into it. Right. Right. But here's what happened. I said, I want this girl in my life, but how's this going to work? I'm a direct contradiction, everything these women believe. When they really know what I'm about, they're going to run for the hills.

It's part of the merchandising where people are leveraging up on desires, particularly after two years of this. But John, I'd say more than that. The oddest thing here are the margins that are generated and the labor required for these explosive sales, the labor models of these luxury companies are absolutely original. They're desperate to get craftsmen who can make the product. It's a huge issue in Europe and particularly in Italy. What are you speaking of her mess and the likes, particularly Tom or others as well? Well, no, I think Irma says the do my family has their own approach, which is their setting up leather manufacturing facilities, small ones, all across France. They have said we're going to invest in France, and they're going to do this with hubs throughout many, many different cities and villages in France. That's one approach. It just seems to me some the consumer attitudes about these goods now has just changed. It's not about the price tag. It's about the monthly figure. I mean, well, we see this with Lisa and Kayleigh every day. I blame Instagram culture. Do you blame it on that? Tell us about that. I mean, you see these people who look just like you, they're about your age wearing all of these designer goods and you want to be like them. It's the impact of social media. I think it actually is economic. It's an economic course. I can't even pronounce it to balance the Aga sweatshirt. It will shrink in the dryer. We know

"Yeah. God of War, dude. The thing about God of War that was smart is working through the small guys, occasionally blasting something, doing a QTE blasting something else getting in a fight, blasting something else. Using a QTE, it wasn't just all QTEs. And you had to get there via skill. I have no issue with those old setups. I don't know. Yeah, plus when you go to work him out and I had no QT is going the cutscene with the massive troll and shit. I don't know the QTE added to the gameplay in a way where it made you feel like you're doing the same. Cinematic pop, baby. Yeah, exactly. And you were just like, there's like a massive fucking hammer coming at you, for example, and you're trying to push it back and you're just mashing and pushing it back. And you kind of lends itself but I know a lot of people are against it, so I guess they took it out. What's your background? What do you mean? What's the background you're using? Okay. So that's what I figured. I thought it was xenoblade elden ring or Skyrim, like it's hard for me to tell because I have pictures small. But the reason why I bring it up is because I still think far cry will do this at some point and it hasn't yet because they have issues that they need to fix. I would love a main bad guy in far cry. To be like on one end of that valley and you're on the other. And there is smart as you and they can use the world and run around because we had older games were occasionally that would happen where metal gear, in fact, has done this quite well at times. And I'm not even a huge metal gear fan, but at times I've had a big open area and you're both sort of doing stuff. And yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. And don't like chirp at you and you're like son of a bitch, but imagine a big open space like that and it's like, you know, you think you're the best and he starts at one end and you start at the other. And there's no cheating. It's just AI good path finding and his ability versus your ability to run around and shoot and heal and hide. Or old school ghost recon. I was going to say Irma, but I didn't want to bring it up because I thought people would be like, arma can shoot you from 800 yards away and they can, but a real person. Oh yeah. Yeah, but with meaning more like he has, you know, because what happens in far cry every time, almost all the bad guys are somewhat equivalent to you, but they die in fairly, they die because all the other stuff you did. They don't really die for real reason.

"Happy? What I recognized is that when I kept him at home, we were doing a great job. He was very social and so I would get him out all day long. I would take him, you know, he was a mass everyday Catholic from before he was born, so I would get him to church every morning. He had a gentleman's meeting he went to. I had things that we did. So he was constantly being stimulated in ways that supported what he was comfortable with. And over time, when he would have periodically what I would call a dimension moment. When he just wasn't there, he was physically there, but he was like, you know, not there. There were times when I recognized, he has the opportunity to do something that, in his normal mind, he would not ever want to do and he's stronger than I am. There's nothing I could do about it. If he fell, you know, I used to, I used to shower with him so that he wouldn't fall. I mean, you've probably had that experience. It's like, you know, he didn't know really how to bathe himself that well. And I would take showers with him. And I realized if he fell, I could not keep him safe. And so what I recognized is that for things to support him, he's a very social person. I wanted to find an environment where he could have that. The farther to the disease progressed the harder it became for us to put him in environments where he could have that social stimulation. And if you bring someone into the home, it's like one person. So I recognize that him going into a community for that purpose would be good and also because I physically was not qualified to care for him. So what I began doing a few months before it was going to be a time I wanted to put him in during the Christmas holiday because there'd be he loved Christmas and there'd be a lot going on into my plan was that. And so I began training him to sleep alone in bed to be alone so there wouldn't be that transition when he first moved there. And for him as well as for me. So I could be getting peace of mind by learning that he was going to know how to sleep alone when he got there. He was going to know how to do some of the things, and that I was going to have him someplace that would be socially more stimulating. Because I had massive acceptance and radical presence, I had no qualms about moving into a community. And when I was looking for communities, I wasn't looking to see if they had the most beautiful chandelier on the wall. I was looking to see how is this community going to support what makes him safe and happy? So it made it really, really easy to transition. And then very quickly, I'll tell you what changed that was.

"The ones that you don't make. Yesterday we saw a calculated and patient Jameis Winston. I really believe that working with head coach Sean Payton in New Orleans is making him a better quarterback. And I'd love to see that mandate, potential here in New Orleans is unbelievable. What he can do? I mean, Jameis adds an element to this football team, and this offense, the Drew Brees just couldn't do last year. James had a he launched a depot 55 yards to the under Harris for a long touch, and I'm like , hey, I don't think I saw Drew Brees here that one time last year. James throwing 5 touchdowns is even crazier when you realize this fact. Most of the receivers that he was throwing to against Green Bay were undrafted. Only one receiver on the saints active roster against Green Bay was drafted. By the way, it's kind of weird. It was time Montgomery. He got drafted by the Green Bay Packers. He only got one pass for 5 yards. Every other guy was brought in as an undrafted free agent. The point is that Jameis Winston did that and 5 touchdown passes against the packers won their division went to the NFC title game last year. James had 5 touches on passes with basically undrafted receivers and didn't even have his best guy. Right now, Michael Thomas are best receiver is out with injury. He's coming back at some point. I feel really good and really excited by Jameis Winston. So another thing that's impressive about the saints season openers when you realize that the city was just decimated by hurricane Irma. The team currently is operating out of Dallas, they're living in hotel rooms, their families are out of school and they all got moved. That's another big story here is overcoming adversity. kind of reminds me a bit of when the saints were kind of trying to recover in the city of New Orleans is trying to recover from Hurricane Katrina.

"Getting response from social security you know. I actually don't have a sense on that. But what i can say about the irma that it is reassessed on an annual basis. So even if you have an irma in this year twenty twenty one because of your thousand nineteen taxes. They are going to go back again next year. In twenty twenty two. And then look at your twenty twenty taxes. And if they see your income has dropped drastically your your medicare premiums will also be dropped or that. Irma may completely disappear. And you do you. Don't get a credit for previous. There's no credit they just. They just reassess the premium that you will pay going forward and so let's shift gears a little bit to those who are currently on medicare because you're coming up on this open enrollment period. Can you talk a bit about that. And what that's like for those already taking already. Receiving medicare benefits yes so the annual enrollment period is every year from october. Fifteen through december seventh new medicare advantage and prescription drug plans or changes to existing. Plans are introduced by each carrier on october first so that gives all current beneficiaries the opportunity to review their current plan. See if there are any changes in premiums or copays or any kind any kinds of changes at all sometimes Dr networks change for a plan. So it's your opportunity to see if any kinds of changes are happening with your your network and the premiums and co pays and then it's also an opportunity to review your prescription drug coverage because let's face it prescription drug coverage. It can change anytime throughout the year. Not only with these companies but your personal needs may have changed. And maybe you find that. You're on a medication that your plan that you enrolled in previously or the year before doesn't cover that medication so now is your opportunity in october. Through december seventh to review those plans and make changes that will go into effect january first of the following year. So i spend a lot of time with my clients especially reviewing prescription drug coverage because that one's probably the area where we see the most changes because the industry is moving so fast but I also do a lot of changes. Because sometimes plan premiums change again. Like i said network is an important factor for a lot of people and making sure that they can maintain the doctor relationships and the specialist relationships that they're familiar with right and it is complex. Anything i had a client recently. Send me a note. Hey i think. I wanna change. This is she's pre- medicare they want to change my health insurance plans. Can you just take a look at this and say you know if anything is isn't just like looking at auto or home insurance or something you know you just tweak this and that will reduce that it's much more complex and i yeah much more complicated and the other thing is we haven't talked about it yet. In either case for those who are either renewing or about to enter the medicare system. Can you talk a little bit about.

Don't you think immediately that's going to have an effect on that seller with regards to who they're going to want to hire to be their listing agent? Don't you think that in itself, especially if you backfill it with our pre listing pack and then you follow our listing presentation, that will win you the listing, even if you're a brand new agent. And so that's the kind of thing that you guys have to be keeping in mind when it comes to winning when it comes to actually winning consistently when it comes to having ever increasing levels of success. The secret sauce is to keep things so that you are going to be furiously fast. You're going to be urgent.

Community - burst 3
"I had a similar situation when in two thousand seventeen hurricane. Irma came through the florida keys and the level of devastation. I've seen with my own eyes. In real time was beyond words. I could probably find to explain. And the level of community that i've experienced here was just absolutely worthwhile to endure that devastating hurricane and the aftermath. The way how we treat one another the way how we lifted one another up the way how we helped out. Everyone helped where they could. And that is very important in days of peace and in days of turmoil when it comes from nature or elsewhere so community is very important. And i do believe that. Somehow in our societies especially the western societies we almost unlearn. How healthy community can function. And what are the ingredients. And what can we do to rebuild that or reestablish community in the first place and of course when we establish something. I always suggest and i rarely use the generalization of always but in this case i do generated in healthy ways and created in healthy ways yeah. I'm so glad that you mentioned all. I sings dicey. Because that's exactly where i'd like this podcast to guard but i i want she touched on what you just said. You gave some really great examples of when communities have come together in across this. And i'm lucky enough to have also been brought up in a town where community came together like that and it is amazing to see and does alleviate. I think a huge portion of what would have been much much harder and today i also want to urge people out there like you said at the end of those examples to do this every day. Not just win. Wear in little crosses. Ob crosses because that is when you see it the most and you perhaps take mice notice of it but it's the every day acts of community and neighbors ship that really can change people's lives and can i think make a much better environment for a better mental hygiene within those communities to especially when there is something going on worldwide like right now we are in extraordinary times so i suppose we are in across but my point was for us to be able to help people do this in their daily lives. Because i think it's a super important component of living your best life is having a great community being involved in a great community and having that nurture you and you do the same with them. I very much agree with

It's a it's a to the the the amount of work and an industry that goes into something as it's being sold as what it is that no no this is not a real rolex daytona. This is a replica with the advantage. Not just that it costs you two thousand dollars instead of thirty thousand dollars. But you don't have to have an eight year relationship with roy rolex dealer before he will allow you to purchase the watch that you want But there is something about there. Is something very very charming about someone who said well. I can't afford this irma's excuse me to to me. The pleasure of this erm as key to key ring is not about going to a store and holding something that has a great deal of history and style and And labor about it. My my pleasure is that i got to take a look at this and figure out a way to make one myself and no it's not a perfect representation but it's something that i made with my own hands inspired by something that i saw admired. So there's it's a key. It's become a very copy compu- compu- complicated calculus about are you buying are you. Are you trying to commit a crime to to pull somebody or are you.

Gates steve jobs ability to focus on a few things that count get people who get user interface right and market things as revolutionary are amazing. Things this time how somehow he has applied his talents to getting a better licensing deal than anyone else has gotten for music. This is very strange to me. The music companies own operations offer a service that is truly unfriendly to the user and Has been reviewed that way consistently. Somehow they decide to give apple the ability to do something pretty good. I remember discussing e music and us sane that the motto was better than subscription. Because you would know what you're getting with subscription who can promise that you'll that the cool stuff you want or old stuff will be there. I am not saying this. Strangeness means we messed up at least if we did so So did real and press play and musicnet and basically everyone else now. The jobs has done done it. We need to move fast to get something where the u i in the rights are as good. I'm not sure whether we should We should do this one. one of these Jv's or not.

Unfair and racist housing policies called redlining have for decades forced black brown indigenous and poor white families into areas rife with toxic chemicals that make people sick. They're surrounded by concrete that traps extreme temperatures demand more cooling more money more energy more carbon. Our problems are interconnected. Imagine all we can do when we realized the solutions are two at the solutions project. We've seen that some of the people most impacted by covid nineteen least likely to have a steady place to call home and most affected by the damage to our climate are already working on effective and scalable solutions. Take buffalo in miami where affordable housing has become a community solution to the climate crisis. Buffalo new york is the third poorest city in the united states and six small segregated but our people. How're is strong. Over the last fifteen years my organization push buffalo has been working with residents bill ren- affordable housing deploy renewable energy and to roll the resilience in power in our communities.

"Made green with C P a financial advisor Lynda Gardner. Welcome back, Everybody, You know, In our last segment, we shared some great information about the Irma adjustments for Medicare premiums. This is you know something to be considered when approaching retirement, especially when looking at keep planning strategies like your favorite little broth conversions. That's right. That's right. We had some clients who wanted to convert all their accounts to Ross last year. It was a great idea, pay the low tax rates now and protect against potentially higher tax rates in the future. But then we looked at the Irma costs and they were huge, and this couple wasn't sure they really want to pay. All sure so you need to look not only at the income taxes, but those Irma adjustments that Armacost the additional premium that you have to make if your incomes above certain levels. Um on on your Medicare taxes, So it's just a lot of money and then determine what that additional cost might be. For some, it could be an additional 5 to $7000. Per year of extra Medicare premium that they didn't plan to pay. Exactly so you need to go into a eyes wide open and figured out before you do it. If you have an opportunity to do that, so depending on how high your income goes this adjustment, the ERM adjustment on your Medicare premiums. Because you'd pay more than three times the standard monthly premium effective for an entire year. So you need to look at numbers from all sides and decides whether or not it's worth decide whether or not it's worth it for you. You know, Linda does the increased cost of Medicare premiums going forever. Good question. Good question. No, it doesn't. Because the the Medicare looks back every year. They look back two years. Okay, so your income from two years.

The Slow Regrowth of Vulnerable Coral Reefs is Solvable
"Minds. Sarah, Hamlin I'm a scientist Mike Marine Lab in Florida and myself is growing car rates forty to fifty times a spade that Karl grows in the wild. Now there's a number of reasons while Koru is really important I mean who doesn't love going out snorkeling and seeing colorful reefs teeming with beautiful fish but they also provide us with goods and services whether that be tourism or employment the food table. And Florida align every system he is estimated to be worth about eight billion dollars not only that but these race protect I landed property from things like storm surge. So really good example of this is Hurricane Irma which was in two thousand seventeen had twenty five foot waves heating the Florida race track down in Lewke where I am and we had a storm surge at building, which is in Summerlin K. of only five foot. So we didn't have a rift system they're healthy ray system there you can imagine that that storm surge those waves would really decimate the land. So I I can hear your Australian accent Australia of course, famous for the Great Barrier Reef what's going on with climate change and coral reefs around the world? Well, wide was seeing a great reduction in live Carl Kaba So this is across the well whether it be Australia United States or any Pacific Ocean island nations. You might have heard of coral reefs as the rainforest say and that that's saying is because even the car reefs tyke out less than one percent of the seafloor. twenty-five percent of nine marine species actually rely on car roofs. At some stage of their life we're seeing Wolmar, she anik temperatures. We're seeing a lot more pollution going into the oceans, and this is resulting in las of live Carl tissue almost as much. If any consequences of climate change, I can think of the people who are really in contact with this are shocked and appalled and upset at a level that those of us who don't come into coral on a into contact with Karl on a daily basis. I don't really get I mean I have your you're in the Florida keys I have a nephew who's into a skin diving and spearfishing in Miami and he's a young guy, and just in the years he's been doing this the coral around Miami I mean he's like shocked and upset when he sees it and says, he can't really fish anymore just because of the change in the last decade, we have lost around ninety percent of that Caro cover in the last forty or fifty years and some of the race in the. Case now or the Florida Reef tractor as low as between four and six percent starting Caro cover, which is quite loy. So we're talking on zoom you have a fantastic backdrop of coral and I don't know enough to know what kind it is but we hear these terms like staghorn coral and I heard of Elk Horn coral what are the main forms of coral that you're working with and what do they look like? We have branching corals and we have massive Carl's so branching Caro's the Stag owns the call and you. Can picture what the antlers of a staghorn or alcorn look like they look exactly like that. So skinny branch is really perfect three dimensional habitat for fish and shrimp and all the Little Rafe critters out there, and then we've got a massive Carl's and these might be brain corals essentially look like the folds and grooves of a brain stock Carl's have They polyps alike little cop. So little stars and their every feeling Carl's they the Carl's that are creating the race and really growing that lodge Rafe structure that remained stable off the storms

"Hi. I'm scientific. American Assistant News. Editor Sarah Lou in Frazier and here's a short piece from July twenty twenty issue of the magazine in the section called advances dispatches from the frontiers of science, technology and medicine. The article is titled Quick Hits In it's a rundown of some non corona virus stories from around the globe. From, Turks and Caicos Islands analysis of Ano- lizards collected before and after hurricanes, Irma and Maria in twenty seventeen and eighteen months later revealed that the surviving lizards and their descendants had larger and therefore grippier Topaz. The team examined Lizard photographs from natural history collections and seventy years of hurricane data to confirm the trend. From Italy sediment samples drawn from the tree and see revealed hotspots with up to one point nine million micro plastic particles per square meter, the highest concentration ever recorded on the sea floor. Most of pollution comes from wastewater and sewage systems. Researchers say. From Antarctica, paleontologists found a fossilized forty million year old frog on Seymour. Near the tip of the peninsula, The FROG is related to modern ones living in temperate humid conditions in the Chilean Andes. From Iraq researchers probing the Turkish State Archives found the earliest known record of a meteorite causing a death. The object struck a hilltop in neighboring Iraq in eighteen, eighty, eight, killing one man and paralyzing another. From Japan results gathered from the KAMIOKA. Observatory which includes an underground detector tank filled with fifty five thousand tons of water, suggested intriguing discrepancy in how neutrinos, an anti neutrinos oscillate potentially violating symmetry between matter and antimatter. From Kenya scientists identified a malaria blocking microbe in mosquitoes on the shores of Lake Victoria. Every mosquito catalog with this apparently benign fungus was free of the disease, carrying parasite and experiments showed the fungus prevented its transmission. That was quick hits.

Million people evacuated for Hurricane Irma in two thousand seventeen this year. That will be a harder decision. Craig fugate used to head the federal emergency management. Management Agency and it's Florida counterpart. He fears some people won't evacuate because they'll fear exposing themselves to the virus that may result and more people saying behind in increasing the risk of loss of life, but there's another risk sheltering evacuees together in school, gymnasiums and other enclosed spaces as Florida.
