I had a listener named Paul Blackwood from Edinburgh, Scotland.

Email me with some great compliments about the show, so thank you, Paul.

Hope you're listening to this.

Try to remember to send you an email just before I have this one released.

But anyhow, Paul suggested that I do a story that focuses more specifically on Jimmy Burke or Jimmy the Gent.

I looked around, and I agreed with Paul.

Burke has mentioned on a lot of podcasts because we all want to talk about the famous Lufthansa

Heist, want to talk about Henry Hill, some of the other mob people and the Lucchese family.

But it seems like I wouldn't really find any show that was just focused on Burke.

So, James Jimmy the Gent, Burke.

Oh, and don't forget to hit me up on Venmo, buy me a cup of coffee once in a while,

or maybe go donate on the podcast. I appreciate it. It helps. Pay the bills and keep me going.

Now, Burke may be one of the most

famous mob associates of all times, I would say. Oh, there's some in Chicago. There's a lot of

associates in Chicago, but because of, of course, Henry Hill and Robert De Niro playing him,

why he probably would be the most famous mob guy who is not a made man.

If Henry Hill had not gone into witness protection, if Henry Hill had not done that book

with Nicholas Pelleggie, wise guys, or if the famous filmmaker Martin Scorsese hadn't

taken wise guys in Pelleges' book and got

Pallegy to help write a script and titled at Goodfellas.

And when Robert De Niro took the part of Jimmy the Gent, his place in history was assured.

I'll tell you that, especially at mob history.
