Old Dirty Boston

In this episode, I'm at La Scala in Randolph for lunch with Myles Connor and Al Dotoli, two of Milton's most notorious men. One, for robbing banks and priceless works of art from Boston museums. The other, for managing the careers of entertainers like Frank Sinatra, Ozzy Osbourne and Rodney Dangerfield. Dane Cook told me, "Al Dotoli made me an arena comic." Al and Miles were childhood friends. They were in a high school band together. When Myles stole a Rembrandt from the MFA in 1975, he traded it back to bargain a reduced sentence and $10,000 reward. Al's the man who returned the painting. Miles was also close friends with Bobby Donati, the man I believe stole the Gardner paintings. Myles casing the museum and where he thinks the paintings went. I would like to say a big thank you to Myles, Al, and Courtney for taking time to meet with me. And a big thank you to Anthony Amore for connecting us. If you would like to attend the premier of Al and Myles new movie Rock n Roll Outlaw the Ballad of Myles Davis please purchase tickets in advance at https://regenttheatre.com/details/rock_n_roll_outlaw

In this episode we're talking about our April Challenges, 30 days of Sexual Kung Fu - Hi Ya! Learn about my month studying the book Taoist Secrets of Male Sexual Energy and Dan’s absolute failure of an attempt to quit smoking with the help of Pure Hemp Smokes. The guys at Pure Hemp Smokes sent us a bunch of packs to help Dan quit smoking. It's basically weed with no THC, just CBD. Dan said they didn’t help him quit, but I don’t think its fair to blame Pure Hemp Smokes for Dan’s shortcomings. Members of the audience have called Dan mentally weak, and I don’t think its fair to associate Pure Hemp Smokes with Dan’s weakness. I had a bunch of people try them, some people said they tasted like shit. Other people love them, they say it gave them a feeling of calm and helps replace the buzz they get from a cigarette. I think they taste and smell like the weed I used to buy in middle school. If you’re interested in a tobacco or nicotine replacement, you can order online. Check them out at PureHempSmokes.com
