0:00.0	What's up everybody and welcome in to another edition of The Sit Down, a crime history
0:28.6	podcast. I'm a host, Jeff Nado and this is episode 127. I hope you're all having a great day,
0:36.0	a great week. It's at that time for the week for another episode of The Sit Down and in 126 episodes,
0:46.6	I have never really been at a loss for words but this week for me it's already been very busy,
0:54.0	a lot is going on in my life and this episode is going to be a little bit different. I want to
0:58.2	kind of keep you all up to speed. I consider all of you, my family, we talk every week, we have
1:03.6	a common interest in the world of organized crime and I got to be quite honest. It was considered
1:13.0	at one point that we weren't going to do a show this week but I wanted to keep the wheels of this
1:18.3	show turning and I wanted all of you to make sure that you got an episode and there's an episode
1:24.8	recently that I did on the very interesting Tommy Balotti and I figured I think it'd be great for

1:58.5	keep quiet. Some of you that are involved a little bit more in my life know but right now I'm
2:06.7	just kind of dealing with some things and unfortunately Monday when we were scheduled to record I had
2:12.4	some very important things that I needed to attend to. Life happens sadly in all of our worlds
2:18.4	and I'm at that point with something so I hope you enjoy the show this week. I just kind of
2:26.0	kind of bring you up the speed as to what we have going on. I'm going to hope at some point this
2:29.9	week to get some time to do the interview that way we can keep the show turning but this is my job
2:36.8	and this is what we're supposed to do and I appreciate everybody's kind words. Anybody that
