NYCTalking Podcast

Listen in as your host Angel talks about one of the struggles of being a Zumba instructor. We all love to get and dance to new zumba songs and choreography, but is it as simple as picking a song and bringing it to class? Let's find out in this epic rant!

I didn't want to let the year end without doing an end of year episode. I'm still recovering from being sick, so this is a quickie, but have a listen!

Did y'all notice how silent the media has been about the Ethan Crumbley Michigan school shootings? Are we so used to it that it's no longer even newsworthy? Let's chat about that school shooting and Darryl Brooke, the guy who killed a bunch of people with his car in Wisconsin.

Over the years, at one point or another I have considered cosmetic surgery. I am human after all. I've witnessed quite a few friends do these types of surgeries with zero complications. However, I personally know of at least two people who actually lost their lives because of it. At the end of the day, for myself, I felt that the dangers associated with cosmetic surgery were not worth the potentia...

On this episode I discuss a point that the Godfather, Vito Corleone made in the very first scene of the very first movie. "You never invited me over to your home for coffee." Should we invite people to our homes as a show of love, etc? Let's talk about that and more on this episode.

I walk my dog every single day. For the most part my interactions while walking her are pleasant. But sometimes people have human expectations from my dog and then things get awkward. I candidly explore that dynamic.

So for only the second time in NYC history, we have elected a black man as NYC mayor. Perhaps you wonder why we make a big deal of this or why we mention his race so often and it is quite simple really. The fact that it is only the second time is in and of itself my response to you. It is very rare occurrence and that should speak volumes as to why we emphasize it. In any case, I wish Eric Adams m...

On this episode of the NYCTalking podcast, I am confronted with the life altering decision, would you take a billion dollars in exchange for giving up sex for the rest of your life? We also talk about the new film Dune with pretty much zero spoilers and finally, I'll share my latest physical therapy experience and cost cutting strategy.

So my wife and I encountered a rude lady on the subway. This wasn't an overt or extremely obvious situation, it was more discreet and subtle. Listen in to get a rare look at how I can be when I feel someone has pushed a bit too far. Spoiler alert, I did not choke anyone out.

On this episode we talk about a woman who has been setting fires in the building across the street. It is clear that she suffers from some form of mental illness and really needs help. However, her actions endanger not only her safety, but the safety of her neighbors as well. Your host ponders how we can deal with this problem while still being fair and good people.

Next month we will be holding the NYC Mayoral election. The two top candidates are Eric Adams as the Democrat and Curtis Sliwa as the Republican. Now you would think that by default Eric Adams is going to be our Mayor, I'm sure that's what everyone is thinking. But to this I say, think back to the 2016 Presidential election. It was then too assumed that Hillary Clinton was going to be our next and...

On this episode I am going to tell you my opinion on the 5 most important things that make a good zumba instructor! Note that I am not big in the Zumba world, this is merely my personal opinion and top 5. What do you think?

I was a very jealous and possessive man when I was younger. I mean it was really bad. My middle sister got the worst of it growing up because I was really overprotective with her and boys. In dating, it was also present for a very long time. I don't think that it ever truly goes away, but you learn to ignore and control the demon.

Back in the 90s, I went to high school in the Bronx. As bad as you might think it was for most, for me specifically, it was probably worse. Listen to the story of why I dropped out here.

On today's episode I want to briefly touch on bullying and the long term effects that it has on victims.

So, let's talk about it!

On this episode I am joined by the author of the children's book, "The Last Surviving Dinosaur: The TyrantoCrankaTsuris" and the adult book "A Grownup Guide to Effective Crankiness: The CrankaTsuris Method" to discuss how we can use crankiness to our advantage.
