| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, I was recently asked to be a guest on another podcast titled Mafia. |
| 0:05.6 | The producer emailed me and said she liked my podcast episode on Jimmy the Weasel Fradiano. |
| 0:11.4 | That's Aladena Fraudiano. |
| 0:13.9 | I went back and gave it a listen and edited all the extraneous chit-chat out, |
| 0:17.7 | and so here is a encore version of me telling about Jimmy the Weasel Fradiano |

| 1:37.1 | him in because they want to do some strongarm work. And I started to say about Molaghan Falls |

| 1:45.3 | kind of a special squad maybe it was their kind of like their intelligence unit and when mobsters |
| 1:49.8 | would come to town they would take them up on Mulholland drive and at the Mulholland falls and |
