| 0:00.0 | You are listening to Gangland Wire, hosted by former Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit Detective, Gary Jenkins. |
| 0:16.6 | Welcome all you wiretappers out there, back here in the studio of Gangland Wire, here in the studio and on a Zoom call with my new friend Gavin Smith from up in Milwaukee. |
| 0:26.1 | First thing, a little commercial, don't forget to hit me up on Venmo at Gangland Wire, support the podcast. |
| 0:32.4 | Once in a while, buy me a Starbucks coffee. |
| 0:35.6 | Might me one of those expensive coffees. |
| 0:37.4 | Some people even buy me a shot in a beer every once in a while or just buy me a diner coffee for 10 cents. You used to be able to get one of those, but you can't get one of those for 10 cents anymore. You can also hit the donate button on the web page if you want to, Gang Land Wire, and I appreciate it. Gavin, welcome. Glad to be here. |
| 0:56.3 | It's really an honor. I think you might be the original gangland podcast. Gavin, I think you're |
| 1:03.7 | right. I look back and I see all these guys that got their mob podcast, but I look back and they |
| 1:10.1 | weren't anywhere. And when I started, there was one |

| 1:19.0 | had one and he kind of tried to act like he was a gangster too. I don't know if it lasted or not. |

| 1:33.5 | Gimlet, which is a big time podcasting company, started called Mafia, and they've been going |
| 1:38.3 | ever since. Not as long as I have, but, and they even had me on their show a couple of times. So anyhow, welcome, and you are the |
| 1:46.9 | quintessential expert on the Milwaukee mob, which I've been wanting to do this for quite a while. |
| 1:51.8 | I just get sidetracked and distracted with all the different mob stories and throughout the |
| 1:55.9 | United States. Kansas City has this connection with the Milwaukee mob with Frank Ballistery or Fancy Pants. |
| 2:02.6 | I've even got a transcript from the Las Vegas entrepreneur that they had co-opted that owned the Stardust, Alan Glick. |
| 2:12.6 | And he claims that Nick Zavella threatened him once and also told Frank DeLuna to get in a car and drive up |
| 2:20.9 | and straighten fancy pants out. And I understand that it was only, that was a derogatory nickname for |
| 2:26.1 | him. So I'm really excited to have you on there. Welcome, Gavin. It's like I said, it's great to be |
