Show notes

Grizzled NightWatch detective Pete Paduccio retired from NYPD in July, at which point I bothered him about doing New York City Crime Report with Pat Dixon until he actually fking did it, I was shocked.

He adds his own stories of bizarre murders - decapitated pets (yes, plural), a recently-deceased husband wrapped up to be mailed out of state and more - to stories of an ex-con who slit his own throat to get out of a traffic ticket; an unhinged and violent predator arrested after punching Moranis and others; debunking the deeply unpopular "seasonal flu" restrictions; black mayonnaise, and prob'ly some other shit.

Pat Dixon is a real standup comedian and fake journalist, truthfully covering real crime news in America's largest city - world's loneliest town.

A Tale of two Heroes Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

A few years ago, Vicky Paladino told her husband to stop the car so she could get out and yell at Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was in her Queens neighborhood for a photo op. As he sucked up to her neighbors, she let him have it, and de Blasio scrambled back to his car rather than face her and address her concerns.

Just a few days ago, a guy caught de Blasio off-guard and did the same, except by now the anger of the public has shifted to profane insults and derisive name-calling.

Both instances were captured and shared, and each heckler became a folk hero in their own right. Hear them now, together for the first time on any podcast, and discover some of the real reasons people in New York City HATE Bill de Blasio.

Brutal Crime History Lesson 001 - Brooklyn's All-time Meanest Pimp - DaVernon LeGrande

Phony preacher, pimp, rapist and serial killer DeVernon LaGrande put the fear of God into his Brooklyn neighbors even as he put a crew of hookers disguised as poor nuns out on the subways and in the streets to earn his fortune, which was estimated at $250,000 a year in 1950's dollars. He beat women to death, and had them buried on an upstate property he obtained as a burial ground. He's estimated to have killed 12+ but didn't keep a low profile, instead riding around the city in a cream-colored Caddy complete with a tv and bar inside. Ahead of his time in crime, he preyed on young victims during the 1950's and '60's until finally imprisoned, leaving behind a progeny of 46 children, many of whom followed in his criminal footsteps - notably, DaVernon LeGrande Jr., an ultra violent psychopath who met a bloody end in a Brooklyn numbers joint.

Host Pat Dixon and guest, retired NYPD NightWatch detective Pete Paduccio, take a hard but lighthearted look at one of the scariest killers ever to walk the streets of the city.

The Ultimate Knife-Wiedling Psycho Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

Host Pat Dixon is joined by a man of God, the Reverend Bob Levy, the legendary NYC standup and radio personality, known by many from Howard Stern.

A Queens man who was dressed non-ironically as a Spartan and armed with a Samurai sword threatened officers and basically beat his way through his own screen down in an attempt to assault NYPD officers who'd been dispatched in response to a 911 call about a man with a gun.

After cops tazed the EDP and finally subdued the man, who friends and family referred to as a "Gentle Giant," the man suffered a heart attack and was pronounced at the hospital.

Levy and Dixon review audio from recently released footage from bodycams worn by the officers as they attempt to deal with the situation at hand as while protecting themselves and each other, as the situation turns violent and potentially deadly in an instant.
