Sergio Da Silva's amazing life: Gandolfini, Gotti Jr, Bank Robbery Trials, Pizza - a podcast by ronshowjoeted

Joe Rizzo brings you MMA. RIz (@RearNakedChoke) finally sat down with Sergio Da Silva to discuss all aspects of his amazing life. Da Silva (@TheSavage125) might not be the most recognizable name in MMA, but he's kept company with some of the biggest names in the world. Born in Rio and moved to Queens when he was 3, Da Silva explained his most unlikely introduction to late Soprano's lead James Gandolfini, and detailed how he ended up working for him for years and enjoyed a brother-like relationship. He revealed a story never-before heard about one of Gandolfini's many selfless charity exploits, this one starting with a call to Da Silva in the middle of the night shortly after Superstorm Sandy rocked the New York Metropolitan area. Sergio also recounted the last time he heard from his friend, one of the great actors of his generation, and mixed in stories about how they rubbed elbows with Jay-Z, Beyonce, Neo, Ethan Hawke and LeBron James at NJ Nets games. Then it was on to his relationship and evaluation of up-and-coming MMA fighter John Gotti, Jr., and Sergio explained his relationship with the family. That melded into talk about Da Silva's trial over an alleged bank robbery, of which has talked about very little to this point. Da Silva explained what he went through from a legal and personal standpoint during the harrowing time from the accusation through gaining his freedom. In the meantime, Sergio explained his expertise on pizza, and Riz encouraged him to start his pizza reviews, not worrying about being called a copycat to Dave Portnoy for doing it.
