Aiden Gabor is a former associate of a notorious crime family, who, found his way back to the side of justice. Approached by the DOJ with a daunting ultimatum- face life imprisonment for crimes including racketeering, embezzlement, extortion, and conspiracy to commit murder-he chose to become a confidential informant.

TWO HANDS! Such a great underrated movie

[@ejyounggun08]

Plot twist: Aiden is Kelly making her return.

[@user-kp7xg1yi6k]

Funny you should say this. I started watching Jim and IDKAT during the covid and really liked KELLY...she is very intelligent and engaging, giving a woman's perspective to Jim's sometimes over the top and male locker room humor.

[@P.dripps92]

At first I said to myself this could be ANYONE I now will believe its Kelly 😂

[@emu_warrior]

Kelly's voice got higher, it's not as deep as usual (just kidding I love her)

[@jasonleblanc6260]

I hope not she was annoying

[@majorschemer4872]

@@jasonleblanc6260 Agreed. She was a woman…women suck!

[@galesito1733]

I had to give up halfway through. I couldn't understand much of what he was saying and it was painful to listen to that voice thing.

[@theocdogg]

I feel like Michael Franzese would have been a better expert.

[@thefatbachelor]

Got my tickets for Newcastle Civic Theatre show on Monday. Looking forward to seeing Jim for the first time.

Who would have thought a mafia expert would be dumb as a rock and twice as vague. Im learning so much.

Two hands is an Australian classic, Bryan' brown rules

[@SCBodyboarder83]

Such a good movie. Worth another watch I reckon, haven't seen it in years!

[@v8tigerAU]

Him going from mafia boss to great father is the best. The origami scene kills me every time

Mafioso is Italian, but the Sicilian root is Mafiusu, as Forrest was saying.

Great episode! Very interesting and fun.

[@tteros5998]

it's hilarious watching your career continue to nosedive

[@Quazlor]

It's interesting how sociopathic psychopaths get a cool nod

[@ragnarlodbrok9186]

This guy was all right, had lived experience and some good work stories, but didn't seem especially knowledgeable about the history of the mafia. "La cosa nostra" doesn't just mean a bunch of Italian-Americans having a shared meal, though I sort of see what he was getting at. Someone like Michael Franzese, Sammy Gravano, even Joe Pistone (Donnie Brasco, who Jim mentioned) would probably have been willing to do this (all of them having KZbin channels or podcasts of their own) and might have been able to supply a more substantial account of what mob life is like and where it came from. That said, I did enjoy this.

[@FourOneThreeOh]

Great episode.

[@lukekerry3195]

You guys should do a IDKAT on funk music with Corry Wong! I know you've done guitar but have they done funk music specifically?

[@kirrilyjohnson529]

A “heavy” is definitely an Aussie term!

[@emdiar6588]

That is not a very effective voice modifier.

[@thomasthompson5613]

So, who is he?

[@emdiar6588]

@@thomasthompson5613 If I knew him personally, I'd have heard that, but I'm not one of the guys he's hiding from. Anyone who knows him, would recognise the voice. Even an accent/dialect expert who'd never met him, could pin down his social class, age and the region he grew up in with some accuracy, especially with an hour long podcast to study. When using the device, you should still say as little as possible in the least expressive way, but you should also avoid using your own idiolect at all costs. ie, if you have a habit of saying ''Know what I mean" or "It is what it is" or any of those meaningless phrases that simply pad out a sentence, don't do it! We ALL have 'catchphrases' that our friends notice but we are completely unaware of, or words that we have been slightly mispronouncing all our lives, or linguistic quirks and ticks, or speech impediments like a lisp or difficulty with 'r's or 'th's, which are specific to ourselves, like an audible fingerprint, and the device used here doesn't mask any of that at all.

This doesn't make sense... this guy gives away his nickname? Is there a good real reason I should believe him?

If you where gonna start releasing more podcasts every week, would it be the same format as idkat?

[@noofahbarnze8738]

Hey did u guys ever consider have on a bomb disposal officer?

[@jeffgraham4549]

I'll do it!

[@firestopping1661]

This dude is full of it. Even if Aiden wasn’t his original name and he’s in witness protection, writing the book would reveal who he is. Ya know what else reveals who he is? Telling them his nickname, how he got it, and naming the guy who gave it to him! Completely fake or he just revealed who he is to somebody

Jim constantly talks smack about Johnny Cash a man who married a woman his own age but he idolizes Elvis a groomer who married a 17 yo girl

He's talking about the music

That voice masking is annoying. Hopefully AI will be available soon and he can sound like Elvis. Or John Lennon. Or Mel Blanc doing tweety bird.

[@user-gm7nj7qp4u]

So this guy puts out his alias, published a book, and has an IG account; yet, he can't reveal his face and voice?! This guy seems like a bunch of schtick to me. A lot of his audio was hard to understand and distracted from the comedy. Seems like there has to be a mafia expert out there that doesn't have to disguise their voice....

[@jeremykothe2847]

If you're anonymous, but write a book... Either the book is full of lies, or the people who know people who read it will know who you are, right?

[@joeaarsen0]

The people he writes about already know the story. They know who informed. They don't or shouldn't know who he is now or where they are currently. I doubt his name on the book is not his current identity/name
