In this episode, Vic Martinez and the host sit down with Lee Wittek, a retired NYPD detective known as "Stromboli" and the "barefoot professional." This lively, lighthearted conversation revisits Lee's global childhood travels, including visits to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, and shares humorous and vivid stories from his NYPD career, from being the face of the department's suicide-prevention campaign to working in counterterrorism.

Lee reflects on cultural differences, memorable food experiences, and how travel shaped his perspective, while the hosts and guests trade jokes and personal anecdotes. The episode also includes shout-outs to sponsors and the Street Tales Network’s book and apparel.
