Believe it or not it’s hard to meet an actual born and raised New Yorker. When 2 meet there are a lot of stories, with lives briefly crossing paths unknowingly. At one time I lived 14 blocks from Jimmy Diresta in the East Village of Manhattan. That’s a little over half a mile. Most places in America that makes you neighbors. We had an incredible conversation about living in NYC and witnessing the same things from different physical vantage points. As we approach the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 we both recounted our very vivid memories of that day from different parts of the city. Come to think of it when I was in Brooklyn at that moment, entering the on ramp of the Northbound BQE Jimmy was in his East Village Apartment 5 miles away. Witnessing events, going to the same bars and stores on Canal St. we had a real stroll down memory lane. We also talked about his toy business and his many various TV projects coming up. Jimmy is one of the nicest guys you’ll meet and probably one of the most inspiring guys too, This episode is a side of Jimmy you rarely see and it was my honor to have him on. A Bababooey to y’all.
