After having listened to a few episodes of his podcast (which is pretty decent), I am left wondering who he is talking about at times. He doesn't tell you any names (especially if the guys are still living), but he says just about enough to tell you who he's talking about. I know he has had good relationships with Patsy Parrello and Joe Dente Sr. Brooklyn bred Rusty Rastelli was apparently a friend of his as well. I've been told that one of his best friends is Michael "Mikey Nose" Mancuso, a man he still appears to be in close contact with. One man I'm not sure about is the Sonny from A Bronx Tale. I've heard a couple of different names thrown out there
