    Hey John , My name is Chris ,and I live in California now . But I grew up in South Jersey and hung out in Phillly in my early 20's . Anyways ,the reason I am writing to you is to ask you one question . Ok here it goes . I was helping a friend who also has a Concrete Business ,like I do and we were doing a job in Temecula . Ok the home owner is a friend of the friend of mine who was dong the concrete work ,. He was asking me where I was from ,cause he could tell from my accent that I was from the East Coast . Well ,low and behold ,he started telling me about a guy he met in Brazil when he and his wife were there . He told me you should remember his name because he was the only other guy that was with you partying in Brazil from The United States . . He showed me the picture of you when you were arrested by Interpol ,and said that is the guy he and his wife were with .. Question about the guy partying with you ,, What is His Name ???

    The way we passed them 25 years ago was to go to the football stadiums on Sunday’s and make a circle around the stadium 3-4 times ( no cameras back then) and get out, it was fast and no one looked at the bills because of the lines behind you, so you buy a hot dog and give a $20 bill and get $16 in change. Great story John.

    Another AWESOME video! You know call me strange, but I kind of liked a story where you and Junior were getting along a little bit. I also had an idea. Would you ever do a miniseries or show where you and your sons are training City kids how to box? I think that would make an awesome show that I would watch because I'm very interested in boxing myself, personally. Boxing & Combat sports are super hot right now with all these celebrity fights and legends coming back and stuff like that. You could jump right into that and get all the mafia story enthusiasts onboard too.
