Show Notes Episode 459: “I Can Call You Geraldo, and You Can Call Me Al Capone

This week Host Dave Bledsoe goes searching for buried treasure (meaning he dug through his Winter coats looking for money to buy booze.) On the show this week we talk about that time Geraldo Rivera knocked down a wall in Chicago on live TV because someone lied about Al Capne having a vault there.

Along the way we discover why a young Dave spends all that time in the bathroom claiming he was “brushing his teeth”. (He was touching himself.) THen we dive right into the backstory with a little about Al Capone (bad guy) and a lot more about Geraldo Rivera (really bad guy). From there we discover how the guy from the People’s Court (Not Judge Wapner or Rusty the Bailiff) was instrumental in getting The Mystery of Al Capone’s Vault on television. (He had to pay for that hairpiece somehow.) Then we give the step by step of how at least thirty million Americans watched so dudes dig a hole for two hours only to find some papers and empty liquor bottles. (They could have just looked under Dave’s bed if that is what they wanted.) We close with how this resurrected Geraldo’s career. (Sometimes, dead is better.)

Our Sponsor this week is Nunzio’s Locksmithing and Safe Cracking, WHY you personally can’t open the thing, THAT is YOUR BUSINESS. We open the show with a promo for the vault show and close with The Barefoot Movement who want you to know you can call them Al.
