Anyone that ever makes a comment about these guys or to these guys saying they glorify the mafia or any people at all those that say that are purely resentment saturated. There jealous because they were not important or done anything substantial or popular. It's just history. The good and uncomfortable. So don't be jealous of these interesting and awesome individuals! if you don't like it. Keep moving. Love you guys. America is the best 🙏💯🇺🇸
I love this show.I'm 83 it brings back memories of some wise guys that I met .My father was a doctor one of his patients was Vito Genovese in Asbury Park NJ .Vito had been hiding in Italy during the war when he first came back to the states in 1945 he came to Asbury Park before moving to Highlands. I met Willie Moretti as my grandfather was his landscape gardener. I was 10 years old when he invited me into his home for cookies and milk six months later he was gunned down. Being in the construction business down at the Jersey Shore I met Pussy Russo and John Riggi . In the late seventies I fished in Bimini Bahamas .In the Bimini Big Game club I sat and shook hands with Tony Big Tuna Accardo We shared the same Charter boat captain.
You guys have great chemistry. You're both very personable, entertaining, and downright enjoyable. Michael, complete respect to you. God bless you, sir. Chazz, I've always enjoyed your movies. You are always a scene stealer, and I mean that in the most complimentary way.
Welcome back. I could listen to both of you all day. So many great stories. I am so fascinated with that Era that after I bought your book Blood Covenant my book library is growing with Mafia books. All are so interesting.
Your fascinated with an evil despicable way of living you should direct your energy on more positive things then idiolizing that lifestyle they don’t glorify it
Love your podcast guy it's awesome and Michael is right it's a great part of history the good the bad and the ugly but it's history and it's intoxicating it draws you in
Chaz made doesn’t mean they were “real” guys. A lot of guys got made that never should have been made. You know that. I agree there are a lot of wanna bees on RU-vid but being made is t the deciding factor.
Hold up, you said that Larry Mazza was close with Vic Orena? Wasn't Larry Mazza close to Greg Scarpa, who was a Persico loyalist? I could be wrong, or maybe I'm confused?
LORD, I MISSED YOU GUYS!!! My feelings started to hurt, then I got offended my godfather and favorite A-list Hollywood celebrity haven’t been around!hahah! So glad you two are back! Life is good!!
The Mafia is part of history, just as the Confederate States are. Neither is being glorified, but people are curious. Enjoy your videos. Stay safe. God bless you and yours 🙏
Play with Dion from Dion and the Belmont all the people or performers that we're supposed to be on the last tour with Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens and the Big bopper would have filled up a 747 jumbo jet
Great show .. Very nice to see you guys having this chat... Micheal always gives great advice ... He is the best and first say many things... I have some disagreements with him as he has seen on other channels😅😅😅 but over all I respect Micheal and always love his advice and his words of wisdom...
They didn't like talking on the phone, much less social media. They weren't on the internet..there was none. LOL😅MARONE! LOL. Sorry Chazz. All the ignorant folks think every Italian is connected. Especially NY Italians. My dad and uncle ran legit businesses. Worked their asses off! They never got rich either, just middle-class. Ridiculous.
Mike - Larry Mazza was with Greg Scarpa and with the Persico faction. He killed Nicky Black on Avenue U in Bensonhurst. I know this is your own family but you were locked up during the war.
Joe Bonanno's book was called "A Man of Honor".....which to me is kinda crazy cuz he gave up all of the mobs secrets of the structure and it helped bring the mob down so Idk how he would name it a man of honor lol 🤦♂️
The whole "mob didn't deal drugs" thing is just not true. They may not were supposed to, but they were nonetheless big time. Nicky Barnes was supplied by the Lucchese family.
Michael, Chazz , if you think that "Black matter " with Depp was dull , then what You's think about Scorsese's "Irishman"? I think it beats it in dullness. What You reckon?
I think to myself If you think you get a glimpse at the life by watching Goodfellas, Casino, etc..., just watch this channel and get a proper schooling... Thank you Mr Palminteri and Mr Franzese. Good bless yous guys and yous family
From third hand sources, Gambino would drink his strong coffee and meet with other people. The Police commented, you could feel the power coming from the area wherever he was. A small man, but his power was huge. Interesting, listening to the real made men. The mafia was the parallel Govt. They chose judges, Union leaders and controlled so many industries.
Mike is spot on with the numbers. I'm one of those fringe guy myself but I did more gangster shit than any ten of those made guys. I Doug talk about other guys but I get ky share of haters and detractors, Mike we had lunch in LA last year. Need to come see you, this year when the doc drops
I love wen you guys do your show , glad to see you guys back at it Larry was really made during the war , but only by his faction , Carmine said get him recognized cus him n greg were doing most of the work . They didn’t prick his finger cus Greg had aids , n told him after the wars over will have to do the ceremony again . That’s why they say he wasn’t really made. But he def was ! Larry was a great guy , you’d never think he was a killer ! N idk how you guys didn’t run into eachother cus Larry was wit greg from the late 70s to the 90s n he was wit greg everyday !! Would love to see you guys sit down !!
In terms of Mafia type movies, I recently watched Once Upon a Time in America and I didn't even finish it because the craziness of the back story wasn't worth getting to the end for me.
Not something I would have supported in any way myself, but just to add to what Michael said; there was also Meyer Lansky and the large amount of support he gave to Israel in its early years only to be refused the right to move there in retirement !!
