I love being straight and clean but man it was fun lol great episode, great interview. Watched it yesterday and wondering what you needed to omit. It's crazy how nowadays you can turn a life of crime into money by telling the stories. Glad you're doing well.

Good interview. I like this guy because he really lived it and is humble about it no ridiculous ego. Those AA and NA meeting along with being sober will teach you so much about life . Listening to different people share their experience strength and hope will give you a ton of wisdom.

I'm also Italian, but from the west coast not from a Mob neighborhood. I grew up very generic as a matter of fact. I'm just a few years younger than AR, although I'm older semi retired Barber nobody was accused me of being an angel back in the day. I'm thankful I didn't have the temptation of growing up in a Mob neighborhood. I do have a long Self Defense background growing up, I ran nightclubs, did Bodyguard/Security work for about a decade, I was no stranger to handling business. I have a sister who seemed to have a taste for creeps, who I mostly had no use for. If 1 of them had Beat up our Mother, well........
