Cops, Cigars & Rolexes?! | Sergeant Rich Biagi | Eastchester PD
This week on The Burn Down Podcast, we’re joined by Sergeant Rich Biagi of the Eastchester Police Department. Rich recently organized his first-ever PBA Cigar Night fundraiser for Eastchester PD, which turned out to be one of the biggest fund raising events, bringing together over 400 attendees and raising six figures for the fundraiser. He hilariously takes us behind the scenes, explaining how he built the event from scratch, the madness that went into organizing it, and what it really takes to pull off an event of that size. We also share some hilarious police stories, hear about Rich’s own run ins with the cops, and we get his take on what you should and definitely shouldn’t do when you get pulled over. Plus plenty more laughs and stories along the way. Rich Biagi Instagram: @rbi59 Visit on our website! - www.burndownpodcast.com

Jimmy “Easy” Saracco sits with us on The Burn Down Podcast to discuss the insides of the DeCavalcante crime family, the New Jersey Mafia family widely cited as an inspiration for The Sopranos—the money, the violence, the rules, and the people behind it. He opens up about his life in the New York and New Jersey underworld, the crimes he was involved in, the moment everything started falling apart, and the decision to cooperate with the government. From the streets to witness protection, Jimmy tells his story in his own words and what it really cost him to leave that life behind.

Shaping NYC Since 1954 | Frank Narciso - Contractors Sheet Metal
Contractors Sheet Metal has been building New York City since 1954, growing from a mom-and-pop shop into a powerhouse in the city’s construction industry. Frank Narciso became a partner in the 1990s, and when Tommy D’Angelo joined him in 2000, the two continued building the company through decades of growth, change, success, and challenges. Frank also serves as President of NYC SMACNA, the Sheet Metal and Air-Conditioning Contractors’ National Association of New York City. In this episode, Frank shares his perspective on an industry he’s spent decades in, from where construction was when he started to where it is today. We talk about the realities of building in New York, lessons learned along the way, his firsthand experience surrounding September 11th, and the challenges and opportunities facing contractors today. And, of course, we talk cigars—how Frank got into them and why they became such a passion. NYC SMACNA: https://nycsmacna.org/about/
