A classic story about a Brooklyn, NY character. Robert "Pudgie" Walsh, was the legendary coach of the semi pro football team, The Brooklyn Mariners.
My friend and author Jon Hart spent a season with him. This is the story from the book "Man Vs Ball". The book has several short stories of Jon's escapades into the sports world. Think, George Plimpton but funnier.
Enjoy.

My guest today comes to me compliments of my long time producer Russ McMahon. Russ received a serendipidist facebook post from a long lost friend from his days at the famed Interlochen Arts Academy. . She is classically trained from a very young age starting in Russia. She received a coveted scholarship to study classical piano at Interlochen which brought her to the United States. Through hard work and years of indepth perfomance study she became a highly sought after classical pianist.
She is a highly spiritual person and performer. She is with me today not so much to talk about her career but more about a recent catharsis which has changed her focus and philosophical life's journey. She is going to talk today about things very few musicians are comfortable sharing.

Finally got the time to catch up with Mitch Smiley of Hard Intentions. As you might know I interviewed Mitch last year. Mitch has a fascinating story. He spent 38 straight years in prison. He is now out and thriving. An accomplished artist and tattooist as well, he brings a special light and wisdom to the table. This was more of a conversation between two people!
Enjoy it. I find him engaging and 100% real. Stay well all! PEACE
Before cardboard fans showed up, Aziz Ansari and Master of None invaded the World's Most Famous Arena. We were invited to the party. Enjoy !

Seasons Greetings Everyone!
In this episode, Grind & Pivot explores holiday gigs. Not so long ago, against all odds, we were chosen to be one of the chosen for Broad City, Comedy Central's hilarious show, which starred Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. We were a Hasidic Jew.
Before we went Hasidic, we visited the other side of the spectrum. For a Radio City Music Hall Christmas promotion, we were Santa Claus - and wound up being featured in a newspaper photo. And yes, we got to work with the Rockettes.

When you talk New York City high school basketball, veteran Cardozo coach Ron Naclerio must be in the conversation. Two years ago, Naclerio, a former Knicks ball boy, became New York state's all time winningest public school coach with 822 Ws. But when it comes to Naclerio, it goes way beyond Ws and Xs and Os.
Ron Naclerio has personality - and then some.
And then there's his father, Emil Naclerio, a heart and lung surgeon, who helped save the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. On this Grind and Pivot, we get all of it and more from the legendary Ron Naclerio. Enjoy Part 3 of 3.
