In a mailbag show, Russo promotes the Chiller convention April 2–4 at the Hanover Marriott in Whippany, New Jersey, urging fans to buy his books Hollywood Godfather and Mafia Secrets on Amazon and bring memorabilia for signing; they also plug his Cameo messages. Russo answers questions about travel (rarely Midwest), fitness (walking two miles daily at Bloomingdale’s), and changes in modern mobsters, describing a recent intimidation call. He discusses benefits with boxer Boom Boom Mancini, memories of his State Street restaurant and staff who became successful, the origin of a photo of him selling pens, and historic NYC spots. Russo says producer George Gallo is developing a Mafia Secrets screenplay tied to Marilyn Monroe claims, shares a Sinatra-Ava Gardner story, recounts AJ Pratt “Tailor from Sin City,” explains Godfather set details (Brando’s cat, real horse head), gives an update on Resorts World Aqueduct timing, recalls attending major boxing matches, and describes Vegas showgirls and his wig business.
