      Maybe so. But you can’t deny the information and stories Scott brings to the table. If it weren’t for him, we’d know absolutely nothing about the Detroit mafia. He legitimately unraveled that entire families history from start to present day. Not to mention co-authoring one of the best mob books ever written- “Mafia Prince”.

      @@BostonsF1nest he's a very knowledgeable person and, just like his old buddy Al Profit, a great narrator.
      And again, just like Profit, he tends to overdo it while interviewing.
      I believe their vast knowledge plays a part in it.

    Good guest Scotty nicknames, this is why you have one of the best shows out there. Thought you did a lot of explaining who was who & I understand not everyone knows all these names but I think you have to give your listeners more credit, mostly everyone saw Donnie brasco & has at least a general understanding of what went on there, just a little constructive criticism I hope you don’t take the wrong way, keep up the great work

    Congrats on getting this interview and not easy to do but I wanted to hear him finish telling the story of when he approached his son about cooperating before you changed directions on him. Would have enjoyed it more if you let him tell his life story from start to finish and ask questions along the way. Rehashing the whole Donnie Brasco story was not necessary. Would love to hear more from him and his son.
