Hi, this is Patrick Piccarelli, co-host of the Hollywood Godfather podcast. Gianni has taken his

cabaret act on the road for the next two weeks and will be unable to pre-record two episodes.

In their place, we'll be presenting two episodes of the Invest in Yourself podcast hosted by Adrian

Martinez, in which Gianni and I were interviewed.

We think you'll find the 240-minute shows entertaining.

We'll be returning in two weeks for our regularly scheduled shows.

Thank you and enjoy. Hey guys, how you guys doing?

You're great, man. Thank you.

Yeah, well, thank you guys for coming on. It's, you know, an honor to meet both of you. I really enjoyed your book. The Sixth Family, man, that was, you know, hell of a book. I haven't read a lot of fiction, you know, but when I'm, when you

told me that Johnny had a book out, when I reached out to you, Patrick, I was like, damn, you

guys made a book. I'm going to read it. And, you know, it was really, really good, man. And

you guys wrote it really quick, too, right, Patrick? Yeah, well, when, when you reached out to me, and you gave us a glowing review, and we thank you for that. You're very

effusive about the book, and I said to Gianni, hey, somebody read our book, and it was Adrian.

Anyway, that's how we connected. But yeah, you know, we, this is our second book.

Johnny and I connected about six years ago, maybe seven now.

And it wasn't the easiest road because of our diverse backgrounds.

Is that a good way to put it, Gianni?

I guess so.

Like black and white.

Yeah, there you go.

We grew up in the same neighborhood, which is the little Italy section of Manhattan.

And I took a different road in life, so to speak, after I get out of the Army, I'm a Vietnam vet.
