| 0:24.8 | I have a really interesting story today. |
| 0:29.6 | I stumbled across a book or maybe somebody got hold of me. |
| 0:33.4 | Anyhow, I found out a book about John Sonny Franchise and I always was curious about him. |
| 0:39.1 | I did a small show on him when he died. I believe he was the oldest living gangster that was |
| 0:43.6 | in penitentiary and then died, got out and died at like 103. And he's just an interesting guy. |

Petty, not Sandra Petty, because my editor has never edited a mob book by a woman. Oh. And he wasn't sure it would sell. Oh, interesting. You know, I wonder, when I saw that S.J. I'm thinking back to the old authors, I can't even think of them back in the 1800s, where they would have a name that didn't indicate they were a woman. I can't think of their names now.
