Summary

On Episode 30 of the Sit Down, Jeff delves into the life of Colombo underboss and heavyweight Sonny Franzese. When we look back on the Mafia in America, there isn't a more interesting character than Sonny. He was a cold calculated murderer who literally made a fortune in the music and movie business. He had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and lived into his 100's. Quite the life. An episode you have to hear.
