Gambling With an Edge – Mattress Mack part 2
Bob and I continue the interview of Anthony Curtis and Frank B talking about Mattress Mack. When we finished last week’s interview (which you should take heed to before this one), we didn’t think we’d be doing a second. But we had a lot of things we hadn’t spoken about and everyone was present and available to tape another hour, so we went back at it. You’ll be glad we did!
We welcome your questions – send them to us at [email protected], or you can find me at @RWM21 on Twitter.
