Hey gary! great show. hey I talked to you a few years back about doing a show on the san Francisco crime family. the lanzas. is that topic you would still be doing?
I absolutely love this show ,I fell like I'm hearing stories about dinosaurs.

hey Gary! great show. we had spoken a long time ago and I had mentioned you doing a show on the San Francisco lanza crime family.. is that something your still thinking about doing??
Love this Podcast. Really enjoyed listening to Steve St. John and his stories. After a 28 year career in law enforcement, I can say it’s not unusual at all to become friends with people you investigated and/or played a part in them being held accountable for their behavior. In fact, my daughter grew up with and is best friends with the daughter of a fellow like Steve. This guy took ownership of his misdeeds, changed his life and he and I visit with each other all the time. Thanks for having Steve on and it would be great to hear more from him.
Ugh! so much rambling and far-off-topic shenanigans. Every ep I listened to had interesting content but each of them should have been edited by half. And someone PLEASE tell Gary Jenkins to stop talking over his guests! Aside from the fact that it's rude and spikes the volume on my earbuds, it undermines the guest's credibility and begs the question that if Gary knows everything, why is the guest even there?
Terrible flow. Guy sounds like he's confused most of the time
Always glad to see a new cast on my favorite channel....keep em coming Gary!!
not true, Mooney decided to be emissary at large and set up in Mexico and appointed teets battaglia as new boss
this guy knows nothing about mooney giancana. I've read everything possible on mooney. I'd be happy to give you the real scoop on Mo
Great podcasts, guys. You just got another subscriber from Scotland. Any chance you can do a Jimmy (The Gent) Burke show please? Keep doing these great shows.
