Each year, thousands of men and women people from around the globe flock to the Himalaya and the Karakoram in order to climb the world’s tallest mountains. Despite being aware of a fatality rate as high as 29% (depending on the mountain), amateur climbers are willing to hand over $65K-$150K to “professional” guiding services to hopefully get them to the summit and back in one piece. While storms and avalanches at these elevations cannot be controlled, overcrowding can. Human traffic jams leading to the summits of these mountains are directly responsible, or complicit, in causing high rates of death and injury. This year, 2023, more people have purchased permits to climb these 14 mountains than in any other year in history…

As a warm-up to Major League Baseball’s OPENING DAY we wanted to re-share his extremely popular 2 part cold open from last year. Remember last year (2022) at this time? The baseball owners had “locked out” the players from all parks and negotiations on a new labor contract had reached a standstill. Our frequent guests, the beloved New York City trio – the METS MOB – were forced to take matters into their own hands by KIDNAPPING the Commissioner of MLB Baseball. As a result, the owners finally caved, a good contract was signed, and a general strike was averted. Thanks MOB! Relive the thrilling days of yesteryear and get psyched for a new baseball season!
A BRAND NEW MLB 2023 PREVIEW EPISODE featuring THE MOB is coming up in just a few days. Even if you don’t love baseball - you won’t want to miss this one.
If you wish to reach Mets Mob member (and multi-year NYC Super Lawyer), David Grover, for personal injury, including auto accidents and slip and fall free consultations.: 212-527-7575, DGrover@GroverFen.com.
Founding Mobs leader, Leonardo from Manhattan, has a very popular podcast on motorcycle safety called “Arrive Alive”. Available at: www.arrivealivepodcast.com (and all your favorite listening platforms).
Handsome Rob, the third of the trio, is just … “too sexy” for this podcast. Somehow, we got him to participate anyway. He plays James Bond here.
Our co-host, Ellie, plays Commissioner, Rob Manfred, in drag. (Don’t ask. Just go with it …)
The amazingly versatile pod actresses, Jill Grover and Lisa Hauptman, play multiple roles. My “Scandel Sheet” co-founder, Kassia Oset, has a notable cameo as the famous Bond character, “M”. Her new podcast, which she does with Dylan Cuellar, is taking over the podverse. Check it out at: www.unburied-books.castos.com (or any of your fav pod platforms).

A deliciously sappy and romantic movie from 1943? It unexpectedly, became very popular, made boatloads of money, and won multiple Academy Awards. One of the hundreds of undistinguished movies the Hollywood factories churned out each year -- so why do we still remember this one? Clever pro-war propaganda in an isolationist US? Celebration of female prostitution? Civil rights ground-breaker? Ironic, deadpan comedy? All of the above?
Then in 1947, with the Cold War in full swing, everyone involved – including the top stars and studio executives - are suspected of Communist sympathies and are forced to recant. Not a single scandal here - but many. Learn the truth about, arguably, America's favorite film.
