Recently a Mafia content channel brought up a bizarre rumor that I was "banned" from all strip clubs in New Jersey by the Genovese Crime Family. Obviously this is ridiculous and completely made up, that said, where did such an odd story come from? Well in the end we would find out it was from a story that was twisted after I had a run in with a well known Mob associate in the Borgata Poker Room in mid June. Also in the first half hour of the show we discuss recent news regarding the Idaho 4 case.
