She then reads an article that was written about him in 1994 that gives a little snapshot of who Larry Iorizzo was. His real name was Lawrence Salvatore Iorizzo. That is why Gino's middle name is Salvatore.

The $ 250.000.000 tax scheme was masterminded by the brilliant, genius brain that was Larry Iorizzo and was conducted with the involvement of all 5 main Mafia families of New York.

Italian Family restaurant in Smithtown, New York. They had 2 sons Frankie and Peter.
She shares that Peter Raneri's Dad Frank Raneri was a part of making moonshine at Patsy's in Manhattan in the 1940's.
Peter's restaurant became hugely successful and he became a local celebrity getting a lot of attention appearing on radio and TV shows as the 5 star Chef he was.
He was a huge personality.
Because of the huge success of the small restaurant they built a big Raneri's restaurant on Jericho turnpike in Smithtown - wildly popular the Jackson 5, The Commodores and
the 4 Tops, just to mention a few used to perform there.
Gabrielle tells funny stories about Peter's pranks he used to pull in the restaurant.
While his wife Margie worked tirelessly at the restaurant Peter, who was a life long Gigolo started an affair with the new
hostess Lisa who became his second wife and they had his 3rd son Michael.
Larry Iorizzo who was Peter's best friend used to have a running tab at the restaurant and he always paid it.
Once Larry got involved with Michael Franzese Peter used to keep the restaurant open all night long so all the Mafia guys could hold all their meetings there.
Michael told Larry to no longer pay the tabs which in the end started draining the restaurant. Peter used to work ungodly hours, many nights sleeping at the restaurant.
Larry told him to stop killing himself and come to work with them to have an easier life. After all they were making millions of dollars weekly.
Gabrielle reads a Newsday paper article about SBA loans that were made out to Raneri's restaurant. Michael Franzese was linked to many SBA loans to small businesses.

Gabrielle only spoke very little English and was confused on what was happening but accepted a ticket to come to New York City to visit Peter.
When she landed in JFK International Airport she felt sick to her stomach and all she wanted to do was turn around and go back home. She questioned her own sanity.
While driving over the Queensboro bridge Frank Sinatra "New York, New York" came on the radio and suddenly Gabrielle felt at ease and thought this was a super cool experience and
adventure.
When arriving at Peter Raneri's sisters house they were discussing that his sister Angela lived only a few streets from John Gotti's former house where his middle son was killed by accident by one of the neighbors.
The neighbor got abducted and went missing and there are all kinds of different scenarios of what could have happened to him. From his limbs being severed while alive to him being buried alive in acid. He was declared dead but has
never been found.
Peter used his sisters attic as his bank account and went upstairs to grab some money. Gabrielle was super confused, she had never experienced anything like this before.

sirens went off and everyone had to hide in the shelter, including Gabrielle's Dad who was a baby.

Party With Miss Polly: If a guy is all about pleasing a girl he is with during sex and making sure she finishes, does that mean he is probably into her or is that how he is with everyone?

Question of the Day: Have you ever cheated and not been caught?

Lies, Cheating, Betrayal and Heartbreak for our family when Gino's ex girlfriend decided to move to Florida and the way we all found out the truth.

Here is the way Gabrielle, Gino and Marcella experienced it, since lots of you have asked what in the world happened?

Gabrielle is first and shares her own heartbreak and disappointment that Whitley chose to lie and walk away the way she did.
At the same time she wishes no ill will on her and only hopes that she is happy.

Gino talks in detail about the betrayal that he felt, how it started, how he felt taken advantage of and the heartbreak he experienced when he put the puzzle together and
realized that she cheated.
Especially since she plastered his apartment with paintings and love notes all over the week before she moved just making sure she had a place to come back to in case the new boyfriend didn't work out.

Gino says he has learned a lot from all this and has had a great time being single and dating. He just recently has met a special girl that he likes a whole lot.

Marcella says that she thinks Whitley wanted to be in the party life style but couldn't do that with Gino because he is not a party guy and heavy drinker.
Marcella is sad to watch Whitley today in her new life because she feels that the party scene gets old after a while and she thinks that Whitley does none of the things she was
passionate about while she was with Gino. She definitely doesn't approve of lying and cheating and felt bad for Gino at the time but thinks he is better off today but also doesn't wish anything bad for Whitley.

Party with Miss Polly:
If you are dating a doctor and he insists on giving you a pelvic exam to check for STD's before sex - would you be offended?

Question of the Day:
Is it possible to go back to being friends with an ex hook up who broke your heart if both are now casually hooking up with others?

We are back with Gabrielle's husband Patrick Gilmore and we continue where we left off on episode 197 about how we met and that Gabrielle was insistent that her children
would not get to meet Patrick for a minimum of 1 year and she stuck by it to protect them in case the relationship didn't work out.
We talk about what an amazing Step Dad Patrick is and how supportive of Marcella and Gino he has always been. He was extremely supportive and a huge help when
Marcella struggled at 18 years old while dating an abusive drug dealer and Meth addict.
Patrick talks about when Marcella got kidnapped and how that led to he and Peter - Gabrielle's ex Mafia husband and Marcella's Dad ending up becoming friends through
this horrible ordeal.
You can hear details about this kidnapping on episode 14 when Marcella bravely shares about it.
We then talk about Patrick and Gabrielle's relationship rules. They both say that they made the rules together and decided to honor them from the beginning and that is how
their relationship has been such a success for the last 20 years.
Patrick passionately explains that everyone wants what they have but nobody is willing to do what it takes.

Party with Miss Polly: "Is it safe to bleach your private parts?"

Question of the Day: " Your significant other tells you that you won't find someone better than them!!!! ..... RED FLAG????? "

The Too Posh Team is super excited that Patrick Gilmore, husband of Gabrielle of 16 years and together 18 years, and Marcella's step Dad finally makes it on the
show after 1 1/2 years.
Patrick is the reason why the Too Posh Podcast exists and we talk about how it started and he basically forced us to do it.
Then he tells us where he grew up and that he was the black sheep of his family. They had no money and he didn't have many opportunities.
One afternoon after watching Navy Seals he got off the couch and joined the military.
He was in the Army for 3 years. He tells about basic training and of his time being stationed in Hawaii for 3 years. He was very fortunate to not have to experience
combat. He does tell us about a crazy story involving a ship with 550 Chinese nationalists where a coast guard got killed.
We learn about what he likes and dislikes about having been in the Army.

Everyone always ask us how Patrick and Gabrielle met and here is all the insights you could ever want. It is a fun, crazy, interesting story that is not your
everyday love story.
You will hear all about the first moment meeting at Cool River in Las Colinas, Texas and the days after which involve Gabrielle's Mafia husband, who
she was still married to at the time.
They were officially separated and technically single, however he did not take it well at all being confronted with the reality of Gabrielle meeting another man.
Patrick's and Peter's first encounter the day after Patrick met Gabrielle at their Italian Restaurant, Raneri's in Valley Ranch, Texas is a very interesting one.
As Gabrielle kept dating Patrick Peter went completely psycho and threatened to kill them, chop them up, feed them to the sharks - they were followed - it was absolutely insane.
We hear Marcella's view on all this and Bernie cannot believe that this story is real.
