You are listening to Gangland Wire, hosted by former Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit Detective Gary Jenkins.

Well, welcome all your wiretavers out there back here in studio Gangland Wire.

You know, hit me up on Venmo once a while, buy me a cup of coffee, help pay the expenses of the podcast.

I have on the Zoom call here, but you're not going to see his picture for a reason that we will go into in a minute.

You're going to see actually his picture, you're seeing his picture, but you're not seeing him live.

And there's a reason for that.

We'll go into that in a minute.

Chicky, I happen to see a little blurb on the internet about how former, I think the headline might have been

former Genovese bookie is going to be an actor in a biopic about a guy called Willie Pipp.

And, you know, I didn't really go into this big time.

I just thought, I don't want to talk to him.

I want to get him on the show because what I want, I want to talk to him about the skills

he learned, the life skills he learned being a bookie and dealing in that world, what, what he will,

how he will use those to portray a mobster on screen or a bookie or whatever he portrays on

screen. I think there's going to be a big crossover.

I think part of the time a good bookie is a good actor and he's going to use those skills he learned in collecting debts and taking beds and keeping betters lined up and keep new betters coming in, new action coming in.

I think he's going to use those as an actor.

So folks, welcome Chicky, Chickatelli.

It's really great to have you here, Chicky.

Thank you, Gary.

Thank you.

And to your listeners and followers.
