Listen Later

In the final part of the debut episode of The Eddie Leeway Podcast Show, Eddie "Leeway" Sutton and Doc Ock reminisce about New York City's old Times Square, once called "the sleaziest block in America" by Rolling Stone Magazine in 1981. Eddie and Doc bring you a firsthand account of what is was like before the revitalization of 42nd street, from the grimy theaters and live sex shows to the neighborhood stores selling pimp clothes and spiked wristbands. If that was not enough, Eddie and Doc also take a further look back at a time when smoking on the New York City subways and buses was not uncommon and travelling a few train stops out of your hood was considered risky. Also in this episode, Doc talks about the emergence and relevance of certain radio stations in New York City at that time, while Eddie talks about his brief encounter with Ace Frehley and his attempt to seek revenge on Rod Stewart. The show concludes with a brief discussion of the n-word. Listen to Eddie and Doc's take on the word.
