On this cold December afternoon live in studio we are honored to have Former NYFD Firefighter Tim Brown with us. Tim is a 9/11 Survivor, and Founder of The Families,Inc. He is a town local that left to NYC, shortly finding himself in the South Bronx and Washington Heights and responding to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. We all have seen media footage of that day, but to have the privilege to sit down with Tim and hear him tell the story was gut wrenching and somber(But Necessary) I apologize to our YouTube followers we had camera tech drama so no live feed. Pretty sure it was better that way cause all the glassy eyes in the room. Thank you Fire Chief Raul Ortiz for joining the panel. I always say "come for the ride" Tim, thank you for taking us  along. Everyone needs to hear this! Please check Tim out          FFTim.com

This evening we have Greg Dillon, author of "The thin blue lie" he explains while working and running a fugitive operations team he discovers reports being  falsified and other shady dealings. He persevers and does the right thing only to be ostracized and backstabbed. This book is a testimony that some individuals aren't for sale. WB Tim and myself had a great discourse with Greg, thank you!

Tonight in studio we have Mr. TJ English. He has authored great true crime classics such as "The Westies" and more! This evening we discuss the epic sage of Los Muchachos, 2 Cuban anti-Castro exiles formed one of the most successfull cocaine-trafficking organizations in the 1980's that grew to make more than $100 million a year, in Miami. Thank you TJ for the evening of gripping conversation with the Crew. So bust out your best 80's gear and a mojito, or just tune in and come for the ride.

On this rainy cold night, we are joined in studio with CT's own Author Joe Lopa. We discuss polygraph examination,the mental health wellness and breakdown(once you see something, you cant unsee it) and how writing became therapeutic for him and has brought about his series of books.

Joe, please don't forget about us cause I  definitely see you making the big leagues!

Ok people, on this episode lets get our Ray-Bans, linen pants /Huaraches/ shoulder pads and skinny ties and visit the pastel paradise of Miami. In my recent travels, I was fortunate to sit down with Alex Alonso. South Florida native, oh yeah almost 3 decades with ICE/HSI. We discuss his first look at the undercover side, also the "Cocaine Cowboys" era. The undercover work must of ignited  his acting flames, leading him to Tactical consultant and Bodyguard/Badguy working with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in the 2006 Miami Vice movie. Grab a mojito or a frozen drink, and come for the ride!(Don't bring any funny business inside the vehicle) Thank you Alex.

Never a dull moment when you hang with this cat. Thank you Alex for parking the bus and taking the time to hang. Thank you to Divi, for allowing us to use the CW south studio.

Great hang gentlemen, thank you Jeff and Dan for the improv jam session.

While traveling the globe and playing with such acts as J-Lo, Harry Connick Jr. Usher, Pink and so many more. I remember Ace as a quiet  dude who allowed the sound of the ball hitting the net do most of the talking for him. I haven't seen this guy since 1991, but Damn that quiet dude has evolved into a power house of a human being! Ace, thank you for the genuine hang.

This rainy New haven night cant stop the mambo rock with Tito Puente Jr. at the Shubert theatre. Sitting in co-chair tonight with me is drummer Dan CZ Beastly Beats.
