30 Day Challenge: Sexual Kung-Fu and Quitting Smoking

  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

In this episode I confront Tim McKlasky on his use of the Golden Banana and Film Directory John Hickey expresses his anger. 

In this episode I'm talking to the funniest man in Boston Comedy, the one and only, Vinnie Favorito.   Vinnie talks about growing up in J.P., his first time seeing stand-up at the Ding Ho, winning the San Francisco Comedy Festival, Vegas, L.A., Foxwoods, and friendships.

In this episode I'm talking to one of the greatest stand up comedians ever to come out of the city of Boston, Dane Cook.  Dane talks about growing up in Arlington, navigating his dad's alcholism, childhood anxiety, and the importance of drive, determination and will power in the entertainment industry.

In this episode I'm talking to Boston Street Photographer @larrydavey_  or David Callinan.  In my opinion Dave is the best street photographer in Boston.  His style is up close and personal, raw and dramatic. 

Dave talks about shooting in New York and Mumbai, India and what he wants to do next.  

In this episode I'm talking to Janet McNamara one of Boston's funnies and most original stand up comics. 

In this episode I'm talking to the legend of Boston comedy Lenny Clarke about the begining of Boston's stand up scene at the Ding Ho. A chinese restaurant in a Portuguese neighborhood (Inman Sq Cambridge) with western saloon decor. 

Hopefully this will the first of a series of episodes on the life and times of Lenny Clarke.
