Every day, two and a half million listeners tune in to hear Nino The Greaseman Mannelli's outrageous jokes on his nationally syndicated radio talk show. But who exactly is this boisterous voice of bravado? And how did he emerge from the uncharted regions of upstate New York - bone-dry martini in hand - to become America's Diddy-bopping Daddy of the Airwaves? Grease wasn't always the duck-walking, bigtime Boss Jock we've come to admire. Oh no far from it. Time after time, in a procession of professions, he had to lay his doodads on the line and take a whacking. For comfort he turned to the bottle, women, and even a shrink - the story of his hideous experience and eventual triumph could fill a book (gee, what a coincidence). Now in his signature story-spinning style, Nino The Greaseman Mannelli is dropping all inhibitions (and trow) to share the lust-laden saga he calls his life. Follow Grease on his tempestuous journey, from a dysfunctional childhood to his alcohol-consuming adulthood; from the atrocities of Vietnam to the indignities of West Virginia; from his first hobble to his first wife (that pig, Estelle); and on the countless jobs - doctor, lawyer, lawman - he held before soaring to unfathomable heights on the airwaves.
