All right. Let's do this, how are you what the backers, what the fuck bodies, what the fuck, a ruse, yeah, what the fuck a ruse, that's for team heidegger! They they kind of made fun of me an intro I did there. I did his show the other day that office hours live, and you know in the past the timid, Eric Contingent always maybe a little nervous, If I didn't know where they are not going to enter. a situation where, as being part of the joke, as the Joe without knowing it, but the thames grown up he's a nice guy.

I good time on the show anyway, what's going on with you people what is happening where we act. Today on the show, I talked to Tom Dresen again now tom As some of you know, I did a full wtf back in two thousand and nineteen. Episode, ten thirty, nine. We we talked about his whole life and career from his comedy team, with TIM read to being a labor organizer for comics to his friendship with David letterman And I wanted to have him back for a very specific reason. Not tom is of I'd, say not the generation before me, but the generation before that and he spent here's opening for frank sinatra, any each have been at the comedy, store lot and we just start talking in the parking lot any tells these stories, the one

really got me and he'll tell it here. It's just he's about the mob. That he's had personal experience with in show business in who doesn't have a mob fascination on some level I mean most americans were whether, through other sopranos or the godfathers or or the members of your family. They they have some kind of mob fascination. But these stories to me we're just your when they come from somebody first hand it's kind of, raising the humanist nation of mafia characters now I have not coming. attack with too many, but I have come in contact with a couple. And I'm wary to sort of going to it. There was a guy who ran a club who was in some way. I he wasn't mobbed up really by, but he had

actions. I remember meeting a guy at that club who was Guy and just the sort of flat vacation of his eyes, in the knowledge the beat to be in the past of someone you know is a killer, you're gonna project. What In a project, but there is, something there. I you you have to assume that killing a person for whatever reason, changes your vibe but it was cold and it was intense and I knew I didn't want to be around it. and when you see characterizations of the mob in movies and tv there there's something it there's something detached from that. the only time I've seen it really played correctly

was by rory cochrane in black mass, and I talk to you about that. You know I talked to him about that that movie and I just felt that that weird kind of callous lack, conscience or justification or whatever. I just. I felt that iran. I ended me of that guy that I met at that comedy club, his performance in that, and I think the Joe Pesci in moments or in goodfellas or has it it's it's, it's a deep thing and I dont think it can be faked, really and then another time I knew a guy who was had done A contract job on so? ready for the mob. I met that guide my drug dealers,

I was back in the day and he was kind of a kid, but just knowing that this is what they do, but the fascination with Tom stories is that the mafia was part of show business during the the sort of dinner, who have era that there are so many modern clubs and in he touched on it a little bit in the first conversationally habit. These, I think we ve got a few specific tales here about about them, Hub or will he have the big one being you know Joey gallo? Who that's it? That's it you can. Even I can't even imagine this character, I mean the way we sort of sense. In movies. I think Pacino did a good job with Donnie Brasco.

There is definitely moments of that darkness that you can feel in somebody that you know he's killed people for money or for honour or just as business. and I'm talking you know, obviously I've probably met people who were in the military, but I find this to be a different thing: a different vibe people in the military who have killed people in the line of duty. But that sort of the reason why Tom's back is to tell these stories because its it saw it somehow endlessly fascinating so folks, if you're in a way I'll be a dynasty typewriter this Saturday june twenty fourth and there are other, take it on sale there as well the July day, europe is going to be there three. I think three I enjoy eyes, while you gotta devotee of pod, dotcom, slash tour for tickets, that's all

In other news, theirs, help hope in the world? You know I I had this experience, today. In the moment, it felt like a major thing, a major thing I ask

changing my cats, water and one of my air pods fell out into the cat water and near that moment, where you just know it's over, where you know you drop your phone in a toilet or what is very specific feeling where you're in immediate helplessness like fuck, I grab it out and dry it off completely just ready to get online and by a new set of pods. and put it in my ear and it worked and viewing a violation that I've got in, that mobile the feeling of elation. There came a like, oh my god. This is amazing. I wonder what guide this never abbots is the best thing that ever happened, still works. I could hear I can hear out of it: register. An amazing, like I felt like the luckiest guy in a world of like everything's turning around man turns out that airport browser pretty waterproof, but none the less. You can't take that

going away from me. It happened man, it happened. Tom treason,. He put out a book since the last time you saw called still standing my journey from streets and solutions to the stage and sinatra you get it wherever you get books, I really enjoyed talking to Tom I'm glad he did this, so this is me and reason I talking about having primarily mob stories, show business stuff folks, it's time to put your pedal to the metal from the twisted.

Oh yeah sing, he never frank Sinatra said he never heard sammy at a clunker. He could play drums, he played the trumpet, he could play the piano yeah. I mean it was nothing he couldn't do I s eight. It was a great watch how god you knew. How do you know why I wanted to talk with him when I did my first appearance, tonight you're a whole new world opened up for me, but I wanted to do sammy in company semi at a tv show, am I We most named ever more like a bug, negotiation. Tommy you doing all these other shows. Why do you want to do that? because I saw him do something mark it was the greatest. now, every year to this day, in my fifty years and years

TIM read, and I were a comedy teenager idle, a black white clarity, America's first like an like, we were doing a show in chicago called the black export, the black expedition one one week of nothing, but businesses are changing ideas and it accommodated in a big show. In an arena. Fifteen thousand people here and all the black acts in the country came to all the motown smokey robinson, the miracles gladys knight, the pips of the orgies, the derringer they all were, I mean to do three or four songs and leave it on all day. Shall we comedian from Chicago were in the wings in case they need to strike the stage to get up and do five minutes sure I was the white guy there now Sammy Davis comes in and in an ivory backstage what years? If this is nineteen, seventy one ok, also rhyme Sammy seventy two year and show me at that time. For months prior to that had gone to the white house, received an award from president Nixon and hugged him or sammy hug stop signs

it was said he sent me a hug, everybody. So when they hugged when he hugged him, that picture was taken put on the cover of jet, the cover of ebony are the black publications and sambi became persona non grata in the black community because they were very anti. Now. This is the first time is appearing in front of a black audience since that moment, this is when in the wings when everybody backstage Sammy Davis here he'd come thirty five miles from overseas somewhere we'll be there the empty It's a sage. Ladies and gentlemen by Allah entertainers can we change and more complete the sami, Davis, junior and the crowd began to boo and jeer and scream boo, get off the stage, get off the stage your uncle Tom and all kinds of swear word here. bowing so loud sammy couldn't get each I to get george roaches conductor into the countdown to drown out the booze, and roads had headphones in, couldn't hear so sammy stood there while a jeered and boot and screamed and boot amby wouldn't leave the state the m she comes back on distillation, german,

what is our struggle all about? It is about individual freedom. That of a man wants to be a problem. catholic, a junior democratic republic, getaway, isn't that what we are fighting for the right to have their privilege he's hid them came thirty five miles the sing for you. Doesn't it you deserve to be heard. Mammogram Everybody sat down. Samuel went over and change the sheet music. He did one song and got a standing ovation. I've never seen anything like this. In my life. All of us backstage had not in our stomach, bear this great Sammy Davis Jr being booed by his own folks. So thing, I gotta be me from the broadway play, whether I'm right, where roman wrong, whether I find a place in this world or never belong. I gotta be me How, god alone, if that's how it must be, I can't be right for somebody else. If I'm not right for me here, halfway through the song, we're gone you you could see, he's getting them back. Indian, a standing ovation

it's like, we still don't believe your politics, but that was pretty. Damn is his show pal. Well, yeah I mean to this day I've never seen a greater performance in my fifty two years in showbiz I never I've seen people take a tough crowd and back by the end of the show I've seen people in on a bed. I run a sure. I've never seen anybody take a hostile audience and in one song a standing ovation, that's the greatest perform. I think it's a good, example of how we can help people get up in their head. They don't really realize you're honest picture, you get a community meeting going people start saying shit but like when they, when the talents right in front of you when the and when you stand in front of a guy after talking your shit, you got a reckoning. That guy is different right there, because what they realizing. That moment is how much do of Sammy Davis. Now not what he did or what they heard or what they were told to do just like holy shit? Yeah disguise Sammy Davis? junior here he went on stage when he was to have usually is like a vaudeville act, but he was stuck with his dad forever. What his dead and

dad told me to sorry: we called him daddy sam. He toured with us for a little while really so he was back in the picture. He was just hanging hanging around yeah. He would he was the name of that trio. Who will mass then trail, yeah and will madison was supposedly sami's uncle, but he wasn't by biologically mere. He call him his uncle will sure and when I were a vaudeville act early on him and his dad well before sammy, it was Sammy's add and will mass in a dance act, and they did all these dance. We end when he's a little boy, his father got custody of em and sham. which, in the wings every night on an orange crate use. I liked three These are an orange create and he would watch it dad nurse uncle do their dance and they would close with a big fuckin wing, but power, but anyhow power and so sammy one night wondered out on stage and are closing them anyway imitate in his dead in his uncle doing to dance it the crowd, went wild sure uncle. Will he thought we got something here? Was child labour laws in those days so samuel

We do like one show an evening, so each They would at Sammy wonder out on stage and do this little closing thing with them Finally, the stagehands built sammy a rocking chair, so we can get one night, his dead, toes mysteries. Night sammy within the rocking chair and fell asleep, and now they were closing with their big buckin wing and samuel asleep Misha was dead, they finished a routine, is dead. Scoop them up and was taken back to the hotel and they used to put him in a drawer. That's us! he way slamming the door, sammy walker. In car and realise what happened in ITALY. at his father any said pounding him in the chest with his fist. You didn't let me too my bow his pal, you didn't. Let me take my bow sammy's father said, and from that day on, we never stop sammy from taking his mouth. He was born to be in show business it. Well by the time you work with the interesting thing about here in this this, this Some of this information about him was. He seemed a guy that was always into the mob from money. That's worth that's what she says nay in telling the story is that he was never grew

with money, so he always owed guys money, oh, you know, that's true. He runaway semi owed. He harrison I adore him? Homes eviction, bill, hara the arms and which, in the end, was or vice president Barroso Tillman Doug bush thousand. I I worked with him. He knows it, they adored him and he he packed the house. winter, so you'd be indebted them. Sometimes a couple of hundred thousand. Has he fast as you got one he spent near one day, we were working on the run theatre in chicago, and he once we want to have any magazine for lunch and I'm in a car with a minimal and we finish and we're driving down michigan avenue and driving pretty fast and sent me out stopped the car the guy slammed on his brakes were in front of gucci. He goes into gucci store. I want him, he was buying the package. He bought a five thousand dollar watch and this is nineteen. Seventy six and a five thousand dollar purse. I mean for his wife elders. He he just, but he he was always wife out to me. That was that would be his third if you're in this final, why fear villa

we are talking in the kazi interweave talk before, but like I'm, just fascinated with some stories. You got about the boys, you know and, unlike I have to assume coming up in chicago seattle. People really realises how young They ran the game right, it was, is the way it was. Where will you born and sixty three? I born in sixty three new jersey. I was raised in new mexico, so my proxy, the mob was very limited to one guy who owned a sandwich am claimed the identity he. He had pictures of him and and and dino, end and frank on the wiser diy idea, I'm one of their guy, like you know what he did. and but all I know is he was in Albuquerque and he his name was vinny and he owned a sub shop. So I I have to assume he was an active anymore. We call those guys wanna bes. I mean that in my neighborhood they want to be You know how you telling guys in the outfit or sent me, and we will let you know

If you tell me a tonio, will you do for a living and he would put his finger to us my gosh they're in you know, tony probably I worked for a bakery or drove a bread truck, but here's a guy who was in the outfit is connected.

there isn't. Any italian that grew up in my era that didn't have a cousin or know somebody here, and some of them were wannabes and some of them were the real thing. You know it's weird, because you know I I've only encountered a couple of guys when I was in new york. He uh coming up that that felt good, you know when you watch movies and stuff. You ain t no actors plain these guys, but when you meet him in person there scary, you kind, you know they're, not their scary, that it's not you, it's not theirs feeling to it now that you know you're in the presence of a killer and its heavy man? Why don t? I have I'm going to get into this. I'm going to tell you about some of the greatest scams ever pulled in las vegas at great scams at the mob, pulled before you do that when you and TIM were coming up in chicago with, did they still on the club.

Sure we terminate the first club we ever work was was in chicago heights illinois and but see even if they didn't own a club just like it. When atlantic city started having gambling yeah first thing they did was make sure there was going to be no mafia influence as vegas head in all those years. You know that they owned the casinos at one time here. You know that the amended before I get that will be the atlantic city. But to me the dumbest people, I've ever met if they own those casinos, those casinos make money. They could, as she went legitimate yeah, but they had to skim. He had to do something crooked. That's why they're no longer in existence sure they were dumb. I mean you, you got all that money, making your nose, casinos! You don't need to cheat. You know the the money Frank had a piece of that count, neither casino for awhile right with somebody and gone, and that's why they put him button before grand jury. He later owned a piece of the golden nugget. When I shall turn with how yeah, yeah But what will you do that wet, but at it but an atlantic city when they first

after should the first thing windows make sure, there's no mafia influence, so they made sure Everybody's record was clean, however, the union- the coroner unity mobbed up the union toilet mobbed up, you know so they they had had some little footprint in there. and each you know sure you know that that that wasn't bad looking guys when I first set in atlantic city too, but that There are always in inputs in your right. She some of those guys- and I can tell you about some of those guys that were reading these guys are some guys that were psychopath. They were really psychopathic. Who had really be careful because they could go off on you and your heart be clear. They were, they were, what kind of guy isn't strangled, if guys in an instant normal yeah. I mean sure another thing too about tough guys. I grew up with a lot of tough guys here where I grew up at I never saw intellectual combat in my life. I never saw two guys debate an issue. They went out They fought. If you are going about the cubs in the whites area outside

got me island and the whole neighborhood come on watching people get killed like yeah, I had my nose broke twice over sports It's in a box when I was in the navy here too, you know but aware and again that was a an epiphany for me. When I went in the service and I sat reading books, I said realizing when I saw people in the service we'd have a black guy from Detroit we'd have a jewish kid from new york. We'd have a redneck full year from alabama here and they'd, getting heated discussion aboard ship and either or they are going to throw it down, but they didn't air when it was over there too. You know something I never thought of it. That way. Here I had never seen that kind of a combat, sheer intellectual culture. So I know, I'm going back to my own neighborhood every there were certain guys you really didn't wanna. I am- we want to look at them sideway. Well, there was, there was a guy in my neighborhood. It was cheating in poker. Yeah first came out of the service and I caught him, but I wasn't about to.

I saw what he was doing, but I was about to accuse him, because if I did I but to be able to prove that- and even if I prove that he was a kind of guy that would not only want to kill you he'd want to kill your mom and your sister. In the end, he was one of them cycle kind of guys. So what I did I slowly told all the other guys in the game. If you say I said this, I'm going to call you a liar, but I'd get our lead game of one, here now it so when you, in terms of our work in these guys, they're just because I am listening to this and I kind of new- did you ever meeting sure beckley? offer dena am dean, gave the greatest advice at all about them. Wiseguy here he said, tommy keep him I length do not let them do a favor for you. If you do show for them and they pay you that's fine, but don't let them do a favor for you. He should be they'll, never get out you like francs, elaborate, with the last twenty years of his life. He rode the day. Did he ever made friends with those guys he said kiss tommy? They do a favor for you, you repay

He said you never Dean told me indeed was really strict about those guys you there was a light tee. What they who does it wouldn't ideas regarding didn't take any crap from them. The the right peck, frank, sammy and dean. The shows for the villa venetian for certain places year that the wise guys, one year and Frank, tells a funny story about it that that the devil, a venetian chicago the foreigner frank. I maintain that we shall be like a rehearsal. They were backstage and dean was watching. The fire marshal came and he was with a flashlight look at everything and dean said: I'm a polly you here when we too early the fires next week, ensure

if they brunette place down a week later. He knew they were pouring money into it, get money in the latin and greek but dean and at each other in a book or a guy from the f b I named John roamer was it to anyone, from our. We Emmi are here. He was in the fbi for years. He was also a good for Antonio Ricardo, even though he was head of the f b, I they they had mutual respect for one another, but but and they would communicate their money on Rohmer wrote years later about a wiretap they had when, when John it. He got elected sam g comment and this is in his book. Rumors work. Sam Gina kinda called johnny roselli from mike for florida. They had a mob down there. He said we finally got a connect in the white house here, and he said you know we can go there for favors and Sally said that and gene canister know the canary is going to be. That was the code word for frank, reactionary is going to

Afterward in january, challis reached over dean shoulder to grab some of his shrimp or dean slapped his hand and said I don't like people messing with my food when I meet dean backs diminution in the area and the servant in childhood. Stupid villa here, actually her name, a kid crush eddie yeah he can.

Then this wet the motherfucker less wakeham. Here he should in his whack that son of a bitch a martin cause. I don't I don't like him. He said like the breakers Fuckin jaw. He said he. You know he shows no respect here. You know I would have loved a saber sally if you go out in the alleyway been alone. I'd love to see that fight back, but it isn't an interesting to me. Doc, as I realise is listening to it is that you know they didn't really. Love help is guys. They just knew that they can make money. I thought of tonnes him on yeah, but, like you know, in terms of like as men, mandating give a fuck about him yeah, I think let me take a boot. Sam gene cannot said the when they settlers whack frank sinatra. He said in a low,

move. It hid that they were fans of his music sure, but if they could use you here, I'll give the greatest scam, yet that the mob off for years and years and years unless a vague idea. This is almost a genius here's what they do say, there's, no matter who the star was it give with singers my in LAS vegas. In those days it like a mile on one side of the ship and back and yet to say every single hotel had a singer. Comic singer comic come again, some big, some, not so big. What cooper, Brad cooper. He said I was on a package month with him. He said so not yours. Star, I'm a name so friends treat stars and names are the two sides. day how big soon afterwards he sold out, users palace to shorten aid for fourteen three days in rural? And you know the marquis said what he's here say: free it didn't. You get one name up there. You were big deal, but

but there was a lot of guys doing the thing The reason was that why frank whistle popular the high rollers, the players, so that the frank sinatra, if I you give me five hundred I shall not revenge? You can have twenty thousand tom jones answering and humble invent, has frank speak or would they were gamblers yeah they, jewish I am irish Chinese sooner fans all over the world. They had me endowed. credit lines to me. Another kryptonite. Whenever francs, I too was in LAS vegas. The drop in the pit was enormous yeah. That was that the in those when the wise guys on the hotel here the first thing they said in the morning. What was the drop lesson here and which, when he was gamble that, with that term maturity? What was the drop? You want to go, see the show go, see the show. What do you guys want a room you and your wife? Yet what's something nina? How much can a gamble via the drop was always important and frank drew? it in one night in atlantic city, a realist guy last seventeen fifty thousand of sinatra fan and the next night, eight hundred thousand one fan lost

point five million dollars once and after a fan, and we were there for a week one man paid for everything for everything from hotel it at its seizures unless what you, a golden nugget, danny, schwartz, telling stories others at the school danny still alive, pay any sort of frank sinatra: fan and fan lost. Five million in one night, if a million dollars in one night, he was worth a couple of hundred million, but he and Frank went to see, win and said a kill. His friend. Can we give american gimme for half and danny to his credit, said no, I lost it. Now pay paid half in stock and half in cash, This is how soon after was powerful to those guys in the DRC the pit was enormously here. Not only his hotel, where francs the hotels around them sold out. You know when frank went to the golden nugget in atlantic city in las vegas area, that's downtown yeah. He stayed there two years I was performing with him. Then, when he came back to the strip, all the other hotels put big signs up he's back as an artist

it even though he wasn't there because they got the overflow general. So that's how powerful holy shit, I've, Where was always go more, that bulgarian tell us about the scant here's, the greatest scam, that in that a mom airport, its clashing, they would go and a singer be anybody, I shouldn't scene, because I don't want to implicate me. Let me know people who were who did it well, yeah David pulled a scam off and singers all the time they would go to a singer and they could do it the commission as well, but it from acts of aging what they would do. They would give the major rebel five I was, I want to meet this big singer right now these just there while level mobsters they can they were there monsters from like the head, the guy in connecting area the handle a guy in washington, okay, hitler in Jakarta should have a guy in all of the country, but they would do the maitre d got my mom here here, she's a big fan of his the singer hated. He would go backstage at a big tony from a from a hartford, connecticut yeah. It's a pretty big guy. Yeah he's a big fan,

So she, then, actually, if everybody's utilize them before they leave the big isis, a thanks for being kind of my people. Again, a mom still loves you by the way Carmela thinks you're, pretty you're, pretty hot yeah while Kamala would then he is now now she sees

maybe you know come. I was with the singer and to weaken the weekend in everything in they go back in exchange numbers two months later comma gets a whole them. She should I'm in terrible trouble. I lie to you, I'm not twenty two, I'm seventeen and I'm pregnant. I am married. I got kids, you have got me. I know I didn't know what to do and now he hangs up now. If luck is with wise guy? He caused the wise guy. If he doesn't collar wiseguy the wise calls him What's this, I hear about come on you when you oh well yeah yeah. She I dunno shooting he should eat, don't worry about it. You took my family? Now big, don't you took my family? Don't you worry about here, nothing happened, nothing's going to happen to you a nice to me, the favourite believe me, your eye, anyway. Don't worry a buy it now about two months go by and they get a hold of the alias, and you know what told them from going to the catholic church.

Big charity and which I know is money for the orphans. If you'd come here and saying you are you kidding me, this guy saved your marriage, you this? you're goes there when does the show they make two hundred fifty thousand dollars for the charity? The mob takes two hundred thousand. Fifty thousand goes to the orphanage. The wise guys cut up the money and guess who gets ten then come at last. She was under from jump street here, yet they did that over and over and over and over four years time. The long con isn't it you know I just talking you're talking like between the first visit and then the pay off it's like almost a year that which is one of their hustle had other hustle like why yeah the other thing to when people talk to me about about fight that that they feel the fighter area. I box when I was in. I'm not an expert, but I I and all of them. I I what I can tell you. You won that round or he won that round. Here. You know it's hard to eat in the old days you could

it's a fight that a fighter would go down some when you're watching sometimes you say, you're supposed to ground and a fourth round, but a guy throws a punch at you and just by reaction. you fire and you might not this guy, how sure you're so the way they fix defined in LAS vegas. There's three judges. You pull one judge aside: and you should look his fifty thousand cash or whatever number. I don't want you to cheat If my boy loses the round, he loses the round. I don't want you to cheat, but if there's one round too close to call, I won't the shade, my guy- that's all I'm asking now I can wait and see or hear one that rounder, he won that real. But every does it a couple around us at times, but I dont know that could go eat away. How many of fights have you seen one fourteen one, thirteen. That was another way. It's you get to a judge nor any in. If you we reviewed the film you'd say well yeah it could have went that way. All they're saying is: if there's one round it's too close to call. I want you to shade my guy

if my guy gets knocked out. He gets knocked out of my guy. So that's just a gamble on the mobsters part too yeah. It is, I mean cause like there's nothing that guy can do and he can see when something's on the edge but he might lose their money by one but wait, but I do have to take in most cases in most cases is always one or two rounds that are too close to call and I've I've been as you go so you're, not betting. On the round you're betting on the fight. You went on to fight that fight here you know I was with the king brothers one night when they put Michael and roger king, one king world. They put two hundred and fifty thousand and the tommy hunter and I swear to god tat mohunes, one event and sugar ray letters. My friend, I love him that if we pay out together with ice ice tommy one at fight but tom, you didn't women apparently less by one point you so like in terms of like when you

With frank, I mean: did he talk about those guys? Sometimes when are alone, you know where, as when I first started would find he was the boss of this magnificent tour. A year later he became a buddy. He we'd hang around sure I picked up. I used to be a bartender. Nice took upon personal way, set eyes what I picked up a new money for that he didn't want another fan. He had means of fans. Sure you want your gush over here and we're times. I wanted to see damn frank with you just because he was great girl in this films, you wanted to academy me, but I didn't do that. I always stayed away from you. Being I am a lawyer in and then so we ve into the innovators more like a father to me soldier when I go stated compound down and rancho mirage we'd right around in the desert till dawn- you know heap, he never went the better. The sun came up

He was nocturnal whether we were on the road or off the road really yeah, and he wanted you to hang with him too, because he he stayed up till dawn here the hardest I ever made them laugh one night in vegas, we've been doing one nighters all over the country and we went into the desert in and after the second show here it's four thirty in the morning and he he does look. You can see he's going to go all night I got up on. The table was like four guys at the table: I'm going to go to bed, I got up, they will say where you gone as I'm going to bed she went for What are they going get brody in morning with a cemetery visit? Those guys guys, I said all those guys who died, trying to stay with you every night to elaborate so we'd ride around the car till dawn and those nights towards the end of his life when he didn't. He knew the end was near as he as the song goes. He said, opening up a little bit more about rigor. You earn and things like that in one of them was when he said. I rode the day that ever made friends of those guys they won't get out of your life. Twenty years

that was with the deal he made with gene kata in that and in the white house. So what you're talking about before yeah? That was that was that, because he knew those guys and they knew him, but then he wanted to be close to Kennedy and he really the way to do that was to be the middlemen, while they can him. Joe Kennedy came to him and when John Kennedy was running jill terry was an astute, astute politician. Yeah and all he ever wanted was one of his sons to become pretty native states. He wanted his first son who had killed in world war two and he came to frank. He he called frank to a meeting and he's tall frankie said my boy can't when my son came when he knew that they couldn't win. West Virginia was ninety five percent protestant. They were never going to vote for a cat, then they get those guys to it's mobsters to buy out the local politician, that's what they said and we can't win illinois here. He said the downstate republicans are going to beat us. We can't we. He said you know the guys who can go to them. He said I know I'm too, but I can't go them what they don't know about. The Kennedy would most we ve now

were bootleggers any earlier days and made what they did is they worked and went legitimate and put everybody and legitimate vision. So the irish. My was a pretty tough mob at one time and in the country before the italian mob in new york in Chicago and everywhere I go the irish. Why was that? There was a big eyes? You that's! What the saint valentine seem. Ass already realised that that Joe candies bootlegging businesses, what made see grooms now and yet, as it was legal in canada, so he was run in that shit down from in the old man was what was the guy's name bronfman was the egg rough and they had a secret was and that that they they're the ones are made that guy So that's what was over. They said the frank when he said it for frank. You know those issues. I can't go to those guys, but you can t in common those have zero. So what happened? Was they convinced? The the?

Unions in west virginia to a lot of contacts here. That Kennedy was a guy to vote for that he was going to be a pro hoffman pro union of him and protean and then the endowment. They also went to Chicago, where you know the old joke: in ten thousand dead people voted in Chicago. The area are used to save. If, if, if you want a campaign in chicago and run for office, don't go to a corner, taverns gotten cemeteries had for the boats on its budget, So now Kennedy wins the election, because any one that last stayed in Illinois swung that election year and so anyhow that the rumors, as he said there was at wriggling now meantime, you know franklin. John Kennedy is going to come and stay at his compound in rancho mirage. I used to data? So this is before my time, of course, why he doesn't go right here at the last minute, at the frank spent one point: three million at that time, like setting up like a hella,

I believe that, because the president of the united states was coming, he told his mother, he has Emma you and your dad can't you and dad came to this country from your In one generation the president of the united states we're just going to stay with one anyhow, a couple of like a week before Peter Lawford comes on and says you know, jack can't come here and be here Bobby says he can't come here and Frank should. Why would you talking about? He said because Bobby shit cause, you know those people here in frankfurt those people, those people his dad sent me to, because I know those people are. You know in any any he really got remarried and- and that was a real tough time for he loved jack Kennedy, but he was a little bit different about oh sure. Why may I mean I was kind of a I don't cry, emmy, I'm sure, there's plenty stories and plenty of books about the dynamic between those two brothers. And anyhow and the relationship, because I know that I guess it's pretty proven. a giant, connor and and Kennedy

You know we're sharing, mistresses and- and I think frank to her with Judith Campbell the additive. In the cabinet? Didn't it didn't end well for her, she was well. She ended up back to england and everything, but but that is supposed to there's rumour that that melanin row yellow and instead the encounter, and in that I dont know you know I'm before your time. Yet before my time people talk about it, but if I didn't see it and I can only go, would people tell me how the idea that, when people their eye witnesses that were there, yeah yeah yeah, I'm always what was francs bodyguard, new julius, joey yeah! You knew that guy real well, he jelly had a glass eye. He had it knocked out. I think in a fight he was a tough, tough guy from the bronx I heard that on this story that desire me Davis, jr premier, his glass eye at serious, yet the comedy store, yeah yeah, that's right, Yet, if I were, you know, you know every frank sinatra of strange since humor agenda. a glass eye and Sammy had a glass. I saw when christmas frank,

That's the best Sinatra story. We knew that means a lot of greece and exercise with this is how, all this happened. You tell I want in your show, at the one about johnny Carson. I love it yeah, but I put it in my book only because and the only reason I put it in the book- and I wouldn't not have done that, but because Henry bush can function our johnny Carson lawyer tried to take credit for saving johnny's life. Some crazy joy, gala right, you know in and at that time it was about twenty six year old attorney. There was no way in hell crazy, joy, gallo.

Reruns of the tonight show and there's one more jimmy or admin and says to agenda would you do less than usual? I went around the town hit. Somebody places. You said those guys Julie, a very strange sense of humour from that night. In the only way told a story here is for bush in the aid. As a young lawyer, he went and resolve this there. There was only friend,

Sinatra could have saved Johnny Carson, say I really believe that and then you think like, but you know he Frank was on the tonight- show a lot, but it was always a little weird, because Johnny knew that you know if, if, if did that for you mark. If you did some dumb thing when you're drinking one night and an end, we're gonna get in, and I did a favor fear is good I say we are you. Would you still feel uncomfortable around me or I would anyhow, I see it. I just feel uncomfortable. You know it, you know, is the oh, you know a giant noses at that. Guy's to real fucking deal right is johnny knew that if he could save his life, he get it. You you put that very well. You got in here, however, as a favor. Will you never had any problem with them ever with them idea in Chicago. I knew that guys I did shows for them. There was a charity call unicorn and it was an italian charity and every year they had often

year did hire a comedian yeah and it it asked me to do it one year and then the next three years I would get other comedians. I got Jay Leno, the gig johnny Campanella they'd, get that then they take care of you, but, and so the jackie's around at that time was running the chicago media, and so he he was with head of that. That golf tournament here and they'd come and talk to me and and when I work with Frank they they are always in the audience here and where they yeah two due to about one point: frank no longer wanted in that connection, but Julie kept the connection to the point that, even at one time frank, jolly didn't work with us for almost two years he went to work for peace, adore, erica's, barbarous and not to take the heat. Frank. Would do with it? They too will barber, doesn't want these guys backstage in

He was frank, the amis, where they re, so these guys would come and hang around seizures wherever we work that these wanna be guys and they would they would you they'd say to me they say tommy. What did you m what did you? Junior men have dinner attia. What did he have? I saw he had linguine and clam sauce and he and little garlic girls you earlier than they would go, tell anybody yet anyway, last night. He had led gleaning plants. I knew what they were doing there. So what did you do we, of course, where you redeem ultimately I just played golf a couple of times yeah and but I did the dean, martin roasts, you know, and then I did some shows with dean. You know he was. He was so great to be around dean, wouldn't say anything all day long and then they one line and you'd fall off the chair. He always had these clever lines. Dick martin-

The dean Martin was one of the greatest comedians of our time, even though he was not known as a comedian. Who was a very clever guy but frank, he made for frank made. Frank, laugh all attempts at a great story. We were frank was, the teller as you get older and life, he was forgetting lyric, so he would use it teleprompter and then it just knowing they were there. He he he would do the whole show sometimes and not even look at him, but sometimes if he felt that he would look at the tier sure, but he's trying to get dean to do that. Yeah dean was doing half songs in vegas, in that finishing the whole song and you're getting a lot of letters to the President of the hotel, really Bernie rob got that inhuman, dumped eighteen hundred letters and deems genuine, which had we're getting cause you deem would deal forget them or something like that, which is because he didn't give a fuck yet partially in part, because he'd have every couple of drinks or santa, but he so frank sending it to the teleprompters yeah. He said that they call each other dig showing a daigo.

Dig and by the way, I'm on a short while back a where they couldn't do that. Today so they can do it when they can call each other dig. I should why he saw no that's play. the incorrect. I should not like to be in a room we'd, be on the seventeenth floor. When you tell dean, Martin, frank sinatra: hey you guys can't call each other to open up a window you're going out the window a lot anyhow, so frank's on his ass and dean's ass to get the teleprompter year so funny. You were frank: in detroit at the fox theatre. We did a mat name and weren't as sweet and we're watching a football game and the phone rings and it's dean, Martin's manager, mort viner, and he says that dean used the teleprompters last night in LAS vegas and he loves them, He came off stage and said book me on a world tour. Yeah. These things are great here. Frank should just get him on the phone get him on the phone. You know he gets him and when he said aid egg diamond, I'm tellin you for years, the kids that use those plugs in your ears that you heard the lyrics in years. You know when I get any younger and I been after you for years- dammit you just hard had. Indeed, Dean got here, deems it

Why were you guys out? He said holding one second, to tell me where we, yet I shall we Detroit. He should weren't a trading, she did. You have to look at it can teleprompter to find out where you're afraid to the phone down on the floor. He said he got me again. He he he he of those stories was see any man, but we did it. I'm gonna take up a good good good. My stories and you're doing all right yeah, I'm doing real good yeah life is really good idea. I want to point out that I grew up. They attain people.
