I'm waiting patiently still... for Jamie Gillis' memoirs to be published. I think the Rialto Report have them.

52:55 That’s an interesting way of saying “sadists find it funny to defecate on people while they talk about their abusive father”.

Tor SR Thidesen True The bad thing is, its impossible to contact peter sotos. No social media accounts, nothing. Its a shame the interviewers are shitty, i want to read or listen better interviews.

@@franciscogonzales2123 So, I'm in Westchester, NY meeting the wedding photographer. Nicole's (my fiance) friend Megan is with us and recommends an Italian restaurant after the meeting. We go in, we sit down and Nicole goes to the restroom. She comes back and says, "Guess who's here?" I figured it was some schlub from work. She says, "Peter Sotos." As if the last name was needed. I immediately scan the room and he's sitting at a table facing me about 12 feet away. He must have noticed Nicole telling me because as soon as I spotted him, he was looking in my direction and smiled. I awkwardly waved and he awkwardly waived back. A hush seemed to come over the restaurant for a moment and I used that opportunity to break the ice. I pointed to Nicole and told Peter, "She didn't go to a single Whitehouse show." He was like, "She didn't miss much." Nicole said jokingly, "I don't even like Whitehouse!" Him, his wife, and daughter were finishing up dinner so I seized the opportunity and went up and introduced myself and asked if I could take a picture with him and he was totally willing. I was lucky to be able to chat with him for a few minutes and we talked about the upcoming book release and where he is with it, where he was flying to today, some potential plans for NYE, and even made a joke about pedophilia and he seemed to act like it was funny. I also joked during the picture to my friend Megan who took it, "Don't cut our heads off" and he definitely laughed at the Bittersweet Motel reference. After the picture was taken, I sat back down. Feeling all jacked up, I decided a glass of Montepulciano was in order. If you've ever been to Tuscany, you would have agreed with me at that moment. Having told the waiter minutes before that we needed a few minutes before ordering since we were stalking Peter, we were finally ready to order. An appetizer order for the breaded artichokes proved to be a good opener. It paired well with the delicious red that we were enjoying. I wouldn't say they were deep fried, but there definitely was some breading on it, and the juice was superb. I'm glad I decided to not be bashful and eat the last one before the waiter took the plate away. A few minutes pass as I'm still on Cloud 9, and our entrees arrive. I ordered one of the chicken specials. It was a pair of thinly sliced chicken breasts, topped perfectly with ripened roasted tomatoes, a well salted pancetta, some finely melted parmigiana reggiano, and wading in a delicate sage butter sauce, and I want to say there was some white wine in it as well. This sauce was the kind you want to dunk the whole bread basket in. Thankfully, watching my carb intake, I passed on the daily overdose of grains. The first bite of my meal, I realized it was on. From then on, I carefully navigated my way through the dish, trying to get some juicy tomato and chicken, with the delicious cheese, as well as the right amount of meat and salt from the pancetta, in every bite. Nicole also ordered a special. It was the cavatelli tossed with some fresh vegetables, olive oil, and sausage. I must admit, it was pretty awesome. It wasn't more than 10 seconds after I tasted Nicole's pasta that I decided I needed to try Megan's as well. She had the pappardelle. I've made fresh pasta a few times in my life, and this lived up to the billing. It was a little slippery to get the noodle on my fork, being that it was generously coated in a light tomato cream sauce. But, it was worth the fight. Overall, all three dishes were fantastic. You couldn't pick a loser in the bunch. I'm glad I ordered another glass of wine. It just flowed perfectly with the meal. Oh, how could I forget? The potato croquette that came on the side was like no other I've had in my life. For the point of emphasis, I must reiterate, it was like no other I've had in my life. Being able to mix that with the sauce from the chicken was a culinary delight. The steamed to perfection broccoli on the side also fared well under the drenching of the sage butter.
