Speak softly loud.

Ladies and gentlemen, guess who?

It's Johnny Russo again with Hollywood Godfather podcast,

and I'm loving doing the show.

And we're getting a response that you're like to get to.

So again, let me introduce my partner in crime, literally, Pat Pichorelli, and this lovely young lady that we bring along with us.

Megan, she's our new gun mom.

Pat, how you been today, all right?

Everything's good?

All right, all right.

Now, I have a question for you.

I've always been interested in organized crime history.

Really? I didn't know that. You made your career out of it.

Yeah, I did. Yeah. But maybe other people don't know it. Anyway, I know a lot about New York organized crime for obvious reasons. But outside the city, not so much. I don't know a lot about Chicago. I know even less about Vegas, unless, you know, the stuff you talked about

in the book. But a character that fascinates me is Tony Spalatro, who was featured in casino played by Joe Pesci.

I'm assuming, well, I know that you knew, of course, he's in our book, but was he really?

Did Joe Pesci portray him the right way?

Joe Pesci must have lived with this guy.

He nailed them. I mean, Joe Pesci's have lived with this guy. He nailed them.

I mean, Joe Pesci's whole thing about that.

You know, it's interesting because I had numerous conversations with Nick Pellegi

who wrote that screenplay, and he knew that I knew him also.
