06-22: Gandolfini, Hernandez, Snowden, Prison Life


The Wise Guys discussed what could be ahead for football player (and person-of-interest in a murder) Aaron Hernandez, decided NSA secret Eric Snowden should swing, and held an impromptu wake for actor James Gandolfini.

Bobby Braciola was on location, so the Wise Guys' buddy Gino Matarese joined the crew for the day.

James Gandolfini Remembered

The guys remembered remembered the late, great James Gandolfini. A family member of Nicky's starred on The Sopranos; Nicky shared some touching remembrances and brought up an interesting story about John Travolta, who is doing an stand-up act for Mr. Gandolfini's son. Callers also shared some of their thoughts and memories about the man who gave life to Tony Soprano.

Aaron Hernandez

The future fate of football player Aaron Hernandez - whom many believe may have had a hand in a recent murder - was also talked about. Gino was open about the fact that he spent 22 years in prison - and that it's not a good place. Gino answered some listener questions about prison life and the system.

Snowden the Rat

The crew also labeled Eric Snowden - the former NSA contractor who leaked sensitive information - a rat and think that he should be hung.
They named young Michael Diamond, Jr., their Stand-up Person of the Week. The youngster launched a Kool Aid stand to help pay for his grandmother's funeral. His parents are on disability and he wanted to make sure the matriarch was given a proper sendoff.
The Wise Guys also announced that they want listeners to nominate Stand-up People of the Week. Email suggestions to wise@wiseguysradioshow.com or tell us on Facebook.
The was plenty more argued, laughed, and talked about - so check out the replay!
