Never had a guest like this on the podcast. Yes before. Yeah. Bad experts in different industries, never someone in criminal investigation. Correct. We're very excited to ask you some questions. We have some games for you, some questions about your past life, and uh we're gonna we're just gonna get into it here. I'm stoked. I'm I'm all game for it.
And I love the hat, by the way. I'm a big Giants fan. Oh, listen, yeah, I'm sure we'll cover this in the in the next hour, but I'm stoked for tonight, man. I'm I'm very psyched to see, you know, you know, the new era. I'm very happy about what I saw last week, stoked about it. And I think I think we're gonna bounce, use that, you know, that win from last week a as momentum. I think uh I think, you know I think the the NFL is gonna be shocked at, you know, what the what the G Men can do this year.
Can you spot the lie in the guest’s “Two Truths and a Lie” game?
I love that. I think they're gonna be surprised. You so
you sound like a Giants fan, just saying. Very,
very confident.
Yeah.
I I've been uh listen, I you know, I w I'm sure we'll cover lots of different subjects, but I I mean, I was there with the guys in in Tottawa, you know, you know, I lived in Totowa for like I wanna say like fourteen of my twenty years in in the bureau. And then we were I was in the city for a couple of years and then and was in Wayne for my last couple.
How has social media changed FBI investigations?
But for me, the guys in Tottawa, you know, all these guys, I'm I'm sure they're gonna be seeing this. And we were there. I mean, we were watching, you know, Eli, you know, fighting Tom the undefeated, you know, Patriots. We were just down there and just absolutely lost our minds. I mean and it's just so it's it's it's quite it's I mean, and not to mention One of the OG quarterbacks for the Giants back in the yeah back in the days was Scott Bruner. So you know, I I I go back to those days and you know, that's when I really started, you know, liking the Giants is Scott Bruner era. So
see relative?
What would you do with $10 million to disappear for a year?
Or what do we got? No, no, no, no relative. Um, yeah, for background for the audience, we film on Mondays, so tonight is a big Monday night game. We post the podcast on Thursday. So we're gonna see how it ages.
Would you accept $1 billion if every person you arrested got your phone number?
Yeah, we're gonna see we'll see what happens here. Um but before we get into it, we wanted to ask you some just like basic intro questions about about your past, your past jobs. Um but I don't want to flip it around to you. What's the first question that people ask you as a former FBI agent?
Most people it's like w you know. It's what it's like. What did you do? What did you do?
How do you rank fictional crime‑fighters from Batman to Dexter?
Because the a lot of people think that it's like top secret that you're an FBI agent. Are you supposed to be telling people you're an FBI agent? you know, that you were an FBI agent or, you know, I don't think you are an FBI agent because you're not supposed to talk about it. People have this vision of what it's like in the movies, and that's not really what it's like. Um, and they'll say what you know, what movie is most like, you know, and there isn't one, there is not one movie or TV show that accurately depicts what it's like to be an FBI agent. So we don't run around with our ray jackets, we don't run around in shirts and ties and we don't show up on scene and say, you know, we're taking over.
It's complete, you know, bullshit. It doesn't happen. Um, you know, my best friends and we couldn't have done any of my cases without the State and locals. State and locals, you know, everything from Union County prosecutor's office to the Union City PD and all the other local PDs, county PDs and county prosecutors office, I couldn't have done anything without them. So they were, you know, some of the best friends.
