that was his mafia handle, carmine "the cigar" galante.the 1970s, he rose through the ranks, kind of killed his way through the ranks to become at one point the de facto chief of the benono crime family. in one of his drug related trials, they had a hard time keeping a jury on the case after individual jurors kept getting phone calls threatening their lives. the jury foreman somehow ended up falling down a long flight of stairs and breaking his back. on top of all the other crimes in which he was implicated and for which he was convicted, perhaps the best window into carmine galante's approach to his upward mobility in the mob is the fact that upon being released from federal prison after a 12-year stint that ended in the early '70s, one of carmine galante's first acts when he got out of prison after 12 years was that he blew up a mausoleum containing the remains of one of his mob rivals a guy who had died the previous year while carmine was still locked up. carmine was in prison, so he never got a chance to whack the guy while the guy was

. >>> his name was carmine galante, but his mob nickname was "the cigar."never seen without cigar clamped between his teeth. in the 1970s, he rose through the ranks to become at one point the de facto chief of the benono crime family. in one of his drug related trial, they had a hard time keeping jurors on the trial after they kept getting calls threatening their lives and the jury foreman fell down the stairs injuring his back the best window into his upward mobility in the mob is the fact that upon being released from federal prison after a 12-year stint that ended in the early 70s, one of carmine galante's first acts after getting out of prison after 12 years was he blew up a mausoleum of one of his mob rivals who died while he was in prison. he was in prison and he never got a real chance to whack the guy while he was alive, so once he got out of prison, he whacked the guy at the cemetery where he already laid dead. he blew up his mausoleum. better late than never. that was 1974 i think and five years later in 1979, car mine, "the cigar" galante was eat

carmine is proof of that when he left me for dana >> that is not true. >> men find me disgusting.imes, you can model for f'ing chicos and i'm not just saying that >> come on, i wish >> or costco i'm talking the kirkland man >> kirkland? >> seth: please welcome to the show annie mumolo! how are you, annie >> hi, seth! i'm hanging in we're hanging in >> seth: you have been sort of documenting your time through covid with photos, sort of a photo journal, and i was wondering if we can talk through some of what you accomplished, because i think some people didn't get anything done but you really mastered a lot. >> i -- gosh, yeah, i hate to -- i hate to seem like i'm like bragging but it's been, look, we're coming up on the one year anniversary of the pandemic. thank god my family has been safe but i'm a single mom i'm home schooling two kids. i work full time from home and it's been, you know, incredibly challenging so, you know, we're learning but i'm learning to even in the worst situations, there's -- there's beauty >> seth: well, let's start with one of those pieces of beauty, gar

guttenberg, chris hick son, luke hoyer, gina maltado, alley in a petty, alley in a ramsey, alex shockter, carmin shinter, i think of those lives lost too early at shooting in parkland, florida. these individuals were sons, daughters, parents and partners. they were educators, athletes, musicians. many of them just kids with a life full of promise ahead of them. my heart breaks knowing they'll never get to pursue their dreams. and that their families will always have a piece of their heart missing. since that horrible day, i've worked closely with many of the victims' families to ensure no child, educator, or family have to experience that again. we passed the marjorie stoneham douglas public high school safety act while i was governor of florida to make sure a state does everything in its power to prevent further tragedies. now a a u.s. senator i am fighting for improvements on the federal level including an act named after luke hoyer. while we can't bring back these lives lost that tragic day, i'll always work to honor those lost. and i will do everything in my power to protect our students and
