Hi, everyone. I am not Leo Rossi. I'm Maddie Stow. I'm the president and founder of Jamstreet Media, the company that produces deep cover featuring Leo Rossi and Mr. Jopestone. And today we're kind of flipping things around on them. I'm going to be interviewing these two guys about their lives and careers together, what they love about each other, what they hate about each other, all kinds of things. I've had a lot of fun working with these guys over the past year. This all came to be a year ago. I get a phone call from this guy from Philly and he says, Hey, we've all heard you're a stand-up guy doing podcasts. How'd you like to do something with Joe Pistone? And I said, absolutely, that'll be fantastic. I don't know who told you I was a stand-up guy, but thank them for lying at least. It's been a pleasure and such a treat to work with Joe and

Leo, I had to imagine that you were the guy in class that the teacher

couldn't get the shut up. Well, in grammar school, I was motor mouth. And in high school,

1:37.9

I was Radio Rossi. So yeah, yeah, that's that's it. And then I got into doing radio in college. But yeah, you hit that one on ahead.

1:47.9

Like my dear friend out here, Bobby Costanzo, says, Leo could talk to an artichoke. Okay, so you get an idea.

1:58.4

What was your show like when you did radio? If we were going to listen to the Leo, what would you call it with Radio Rossi? What were you ever heard back then? It was called, you remember the song by the Routers Let's Go? Don't, down, don't, don't, don't, let's go. I'm not that old. No. Well, Joe remembers. Anyway, it was called Let's Go with Leo. Do you want me to give a little taste? Yes, it's me, your bumblebee, your uptight stinger, out of side-swinger, saying, come one, come all, we're going to have a ball in a hall, want to see your face in a place, you can holler for a dollar, because I'm too hot
