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. 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 welcome everybody it's time for another Hollywood Godfather podcast. And let me introduce our

co-host, fortunately, and the star of the show, Jeannie Raymond, please. Hello, Gianni. So nice to see you.

Always my favorite, favorite day hanging out with you.

Well, today, before we go into the show that's so meaningful, and once we get introduced,

our audience will know, you know, in our industry, they never really praise people

when they do good things, especially when they're stars.

Most people are jealous of them.

But there's one particular story I read this week,

and it was about George Clooney.

I met George Clooney when he was a carpenter and a chauffeur for his aunt Rosemary Clooney.

She was a big star. Real big star.

Oh my God, huge. But why I want to say it, he would be very humble sitting in front of the house,

and his cousin, Jose Ferrer, lived next door to me, and that was Rosemary's son,

with Jose Ferrer. And again, you know, he was just a nice guy.

And I just read where this past week he bought 14 pieces of Toomey luggage.

Wow.

And he put $1 million in cash in each one.
