Explicit content warning
02/01/24 • 67 min
Recorded from Dom DeMarco's Pizzeria in Las Vegas. He is the longest serving first time non-violent offender that was given a life sentence without parole. After serving 32 years and being the most appealed prisoner, he was released.
George explains what Gunman’s Row in Philadelphia where he grew up and as a two-year old seeing Benny the Gimp get shot in front of him. He was given the nickname of Cowboy, which he hates, and how that name started.
Great stories about his days dealing marijuana and how a diamond that was sewn into his pocket saved his life. His conversation with Pablo Escobar is a good one! Why Washington squeezed him after getting arrested is a great story in itself. George is the real-life man from the movie-Con Air and recalls the hijacking on the plane. He is a prolific writer that all began when he was locked in a boxcar cell for two weeks and found a pencil.
Being a workout buddy to a guy who had cut the head off three people! Does he wonder how he made it through it all and being the Growfather!
