The founder of Belevo and Edesia Oil Co begins the show with telling you his story of growing up in his Italian family where his grandmother introduced him to fresh food and still having traditional Sunday Dinner. Canning and growing tomatoes, peppers, & eggplant in the backyard!

His former Staten Island pizzeria that he had which leads to the family background from a small town in Sicily. Today he has a smaller pizzeria in Manhattan in Hells Kitchen now that led to the discovery of Belevo Extra Virgin Olive Oil Blend which landed him in the oil business. Joe gives you the big business of scam oils which makes more than selling cocaine!

Why Belevo is superior to EVOO, what customers are saying about the product, and why this is a solution for restaurants. Contact Joe at the Belevo offices if interested in becoming a distributor on the west coast.

A music legend that is a drummer and a member of The Kingsmen since 1963. The group best known for the hit, Louie Louie.

We begin the show learning about when Dick started playing for the drums and how he was in the right place at the right time to join the group, The Kingsmen in 1963. He gives the background of how the group started touring and Louie Louie being banned!

He tells us what the music scene was like in Portland, OR in the sixties that had groups such as The Wailers, Paul Revere & Raiders, and others. Richard Barry wrote Louie Louie, recorded it and wrote the song and sold all his rights for $750! Dick gives story how he changed the music industry where record companies must pay their royalties in four year or lose it. 

The number of times he has played the hit song which was named the worst record at one time. Are the FBI the reason the song stayed alive? What is the longest time the song has been played consecutively? Dick explains going from high school to buying a Ferrari due to this pandemonium. What are the lyrics!?

How it became the official state song in Washington and played at all Seattle Mariners home games during the 7th inning stretch. 

Book- “Louie Louie, Me Gotta Go Now” (see show notes). The other songs The Kingsmen have recorded charted in Billboard. He tells us about Mike Mitchell whose guitar break you hear at beginning of the song. 

Wolfman Jack, his legacy, and songwriting wraps this fantastic episode up.

Larry Henry, senior reporter at Gambling.com and administrator for the Las
Vegas Mafia History and Mob Summit Facebook group pages, talks from
the heart about the murder of his friend Jeff German, an investigative
reporter with the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
We begin the show about the global expansion of the sports betting world
and the membership numbers of the two Facebook pages: Las Vegas
Mafia History and Mob Summit. See show notes for links to join.
How Jeff and Larry met and became friends. Larry describes who Jeff was,
his deep respect for him, how he got to Las Vegas as he was a Wisconsin
native. Jeff’s his ability to dig up stores because people trusted him that he
would not reveal his sources. We hear clips from Jeff himself in relation to
this.
The big stories Jeff reported on that include the 1980 MGM Grand Fire,
Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting and writing a book on the death of Ted
Binion. Jeff himself tells two stories about being hit in the mouth by a
suspected Mob and sending Tony Spilotro a drink at a dive bar in Las
Vegas.
National story when Jeff was murdered after investigating a Clark County
Public Administrator Robert Telles, who is charged with murder in Jeff’s
death and is being held without bail. Jeff wrote about alleged
mismanagement, unlawful conduct, and bullying in the public
administrator’s office. Larry tells what he knows to date of the case which is
set for trial in November of 2023.


Special Thank you and credit for the Jeff German clips:
