My name is Gianni Russo, aka Carlo, the infamous son-in-law from the godfather.

I'm now known as the Hollywood Godfather, and this is my story.

Before all of the wins in my portfolio, I was a little boy diagnosed with polio.

Experimenting with cures, I tried everyone felt everything in

my right but my left was numb walking with a limp like will I ever run once again

or is this it am I forever done living in the hospital was never fun some people were

cool but not everyone you never know who you're lying in a room with. So I broke a broomstick in half and let it groove with the concrete in the bathroom floor. It had a new tip, stashed it behind it toiling in case I ever had to use it. Because one day, Dolores had a chat with me.

Softly loud and hold me off against your heart.

I hear your words, the tender trembling.

Welcome everybody for another Hollywood Godfather podcast.

And tonight we have a surprise guest and author.

And I like the, I don't even know him yet, but I know enough about them.

I like people who can stay above the law while breaking the law, as I did and he has done.

And Pat's the only guy that's in the law

trying to catch us. But anyway, Patrick, my co-author, Piccarelli, is here with me and host of the show.

Good evening, everybody.

Why don't you introduce our illustrious guest tonight?

Well, as you know, for quite a long time now, Johnny,

I've been looking for somebody as notorious and charismatic as you are to come on the show.

And a couple of weeks ago, I saw an extensive article in the New York Post

featuring our guest tonight. He has written a book. His name is Eric Connery. The book he wrote

is entitled Pressure. And it's about his life in the illegal marijuana trade.
