I grew up in Boston and one thing is for sure, the Irish Americans in Boston are tough. I grew up in the late 70’s to the 80’s and lived in Mission Hill which was 90% Irish, I’m a mutt(mixed with Cape Verde, Sicilian and Black) So, I wasn’t Irish and that was a problem, lol. Looking back, I’ve been in a few dangerous hoods over the years and because of the fights I had growing up with the Irish, I’ve always held my own. What’s funny is, when I visit Boston, the same guys who called me a nigger as a kid, now have half black or Hispanic children. How things change. Very positive message coming from men who survived real life street shit. Thanks for sharing.

They have tough skin to endure the brutal things that happens over there. When the dust settles from this 2020 Goat Rodeo, I need to make a trip to New York. This, again, by far is the best interview ever. Great job.
He made alot of mistakes. His family got wiped out by the clement family. Bobbys dad had enough respect to get out of Boston. The Irish ran phillie. The westies in ny were ruthless Irish but the five family's they respected in ny. Also bobby new once Rico was in law. No chance. No unions were run by cosa nostra no more. The Italian mob is gone in america and bobby new that. It's made up of John aculite and the guy with peaky blinders hat. Who talked over ex made men. Now days italions stick too Italians but that's it. They use too run america and bobby new that and should of known. They don't anymore and they all rat. Like every man at that table ratted except the guy too the very left.

Ur the first person I've heard that's proud Alite sure he couldn't of been involved in the life 4 long I'm nearly the same age as him he must be only in his mid fifties?? And one more thing I've lived a long and tuff life so don't patronise me by saying you live there and no Bulger alot better then me, You don't no me from the man on the moon and we all no people on both sides of the law...

Luv Boston by the way my brother in-law is a cop there😂😂 So there you go we all no people on both sides of the law👍🇮🇪🇺🇸🇮🇪
Why wouldn't Alite rather be with and earn money with the Albanian mob(if there is one)? Why work so much to impress the Italians who flat out say that he could never really be one of them? If he was with the Italians just for the money,that's one thing,but seems like it was more than that for him.
@@AristotleSanchez1000 first of all dont try to disrespect me by saying “ if there is an Albanian mob” as if im implying smth ok boy. he wasn’t the first non Italian in the family. back than there was not an Albanian mafia because of the dictatorship albania was in. for ur exclusive info yes there is an Albanian mafia.
This is the most civilized conversation I have seen in many years. These men were in a violent style of life but they surely know the meaning of respect; when one talks, the others listen and no personal attacks . As a New Yorker who grew up in the neighborhood that produced a Gotti and an Al Capone, I am impressed but not surprised. We lived in that neighborhood for five years when we first moved here from Puerto Rico . As children we had no idea of our real surroundings. All I know is that we were befriended by the jews and Italian Americans and that we were always safe. The people in our neighborhood were family oriented and at least on the surface lived normal law abiding lives. We loved the church dances and the delicious Italian pastries. Regardless, It was the fifties in Brooklyn, the teenage gang era and many of those kids ended in the organized crime families. My respect goes to you, your program and your very interesting guests.
Exactly. Today’s world would be an amazing place if people followed the RESPECT example that these guys conduct themselves with. Even little simple things here are great to see....They don’t talk over each other, they listen intently, they let the other person finish talking before they speak. Simple things like that provide for such a better and more cohesive environment. Generally speaking, the only people these guys ever whacked were the disrespectful punks that thought they were special and shit all over everyone.
@@truthteller4442 I agree. I’m not making excuses for breaking the law, but many of the youngsters who made organized crime their lifestyles are practically forced by their environment and their needs to make a living. ONCE convicted of any crime, getting hired by law abiding enterprises is almost impossible. Needless to say, they return to the old ways. There’s no real rehabilitation in our incarceration systems.
@@truthteller4442 For some reason,it seems it was because of Luisi and Arillotta that there wasn't the usual talking over each other on these types of videos
Great show. I remember in high school watching Chronicle on channel 5 talking about Anthony’s territory in Springfield. And all the herald stories about the war Bobby is talking about. Awesome show as always gentlemen
Yup I remember being very young in Somerville MA and you would hear stories about these mafia guys killing people. You would see the FBI raid houses all the time, the house I lived in had some mob activity because after my aunt moved in the FBI kept coming by asking for some Guys with Italian names she said. The guy across the st used to cook for them and they played cards in his basement, he had a HUGE German Shepard in the backyard. Rumor was they buried a body under the dogs little caged in area. NOBODY went back there but when the dog was out of the yard he was the nicest dog ever. I remember petting him almost everyday and his head was so big! Somerville was a tight knit city where everyone knew each other and got along for the most part. Fighting was normal and nothing serious, you had to fight though if you backed down nobody would let you play football or stick ball lol. I was like 7 years old and I’d fight the little racist kids that were too small for my cousins to beat up. All they did was offer me a piece of candy and I was kicking ass. 😅😅 now that I’m older I realize how bad that is but it was normal in those times. I would never start fights but you weren’t going to talk trash to me young or older. I’d call my cousins if you’re to big for me and if they had people we called my cousins sisters boyfriend and his brothers. It was like 4 big Haitian guys lol and one was a black belt. I was there when the city turned into a diverse city with Haitians, Asian,Spanish and Portuguese. Before that it was mainly Irish and Italian. Most of them were cool but you always have those little racist bastards lol. They all got dealt with though, one thing we hated was racist white people.
I was living in Springfield Mass from 2003 to 2013,,, right before Anthony went away. I know some people that knew him. It’s still a very Italian populated city
To John and Gene. I admire what you guys are doing with your show. I've commented on other videos you've put out and on other forums where others are doing the same, like Sammy's show/P.C., Gunner Lindbloom, L.Mazza, etc. I grew up with relatives involved in the life although I was too young to know at the time and my parents went out of their way to keep me and my brother and cousins away from it. I was a F.F./medic for 30 + years for one of the largest, metropolitan Fire/E.M.S departments in the country and have seen the results of mob, gang, cartel violence and know how kids are drawn into it looking for acceptance, brotherhood, wealth and respect and truly respect what you guys are doing to discourage them. I've seen the negative comments and flack you guys get from those who dont believe in your sincerity and think you're just capitalizing on your past. To the doubters I ask what are they doing? I also ask what would you expect these guys to do? They're sending a positive message and if they can earn a living doing so is it not better than what they once did. I'm sure it's also somewhat therapeutic for you as well. I believe you're lives are better spent doing what you're doing than rotting away in a cage. I'm truly amazed at how many of you guys there are who have openly admitted to your crimes, taken responsility for them and have the courage to openly dispel the myths and treachery of the life and publicly denounce it. It takes a lot of courage to do so and it is commendable. The only thing I dont understand is your position on Michael Franceze. I've heard you both explain how there are "earners" and "gangsters" in a family and both have their place or function. I've never heard Franceze claim he was tough guy and has admitted he doesnt really have the stomach for or enjoy the violence in the life. He has always stated he was a "money guy" and has never claimed he was anything but. I'm sure he's done things he'd rather not admit to especially if it can be used against him. He didnt aspire to be involved until his father received a 50 sentence. He, no doubt might have risen a little quicker because of his father but that's usually the case (in any proffesion) if they feel that the son has the same qualities as the father. He seemed to be very successful at what he did. I also dont understand mocking him for using the term "Capo Regime". His experience was in a different family at a different time and it is the term that was used for decades by the older, more traditional members. I know it sounds a little dated now. Anyway, I'm not trying to be critical of you guys. Again I respect and admire what you're doing. He's trying to do the same thing and his situation and experiences were a little different albeit with a lot of similarities. Anyway, keep the stories coming, enjoy them all and good luck and God bless you guys.
Usually people in these videos talk over each other and nobody gets a chance to finish. I think this time it was because of Arrilotta ,who seemed the most serious and Luisi who has a big personality to go along with his former position
They didn’t even spill the secret parts you idi0t… like the ceremony it’s self.. they completely left things out.. they just talked about crimes and their own life story.. you’re stupid to think they actually exposed any😂..
I knew John in 2003, he was very well spoken, polite and classy. He had a certain je ne sais pas about him that made me sense he was a connected guy. Only after watching him on Netflix did I know his extent.
Funny how the two actual (Made Men) in this interview room seem the most humble next to the 2 outta 3 (associates) next to them with glasses trying to front the life. "the only person talking about John Elite is John Elite himself"- Sincerly The Associates Club. Not the Made Members Club.
I almost spit out my coffee, when Bobby was talking about having to clip people, beat them etc., and he said, “We didn’t sign up for that!” 🤣 WHAT?!!!😂 Every one of them KNOWS EXACTLY, what’s coming, when you sign up for that life! (Especially GENE, he was chomping at the bit to move up, and couldn’t even WAIT for orders, he just went out and created his own reputation and street cred!!!😮
Ikr 😂 that’s a man right there that is someone who has that victim mentality. Nothing is ever his fault, the mafia “brainwashed him” 😂🤦🏽♂️ he probably knew he was going to cooperate before he ever got arrested
@@LA-oy4on correct, but these man were a part of that life sure they turned rat but that's a choice just like being in the mob, now some people don't have a choice
Bobby and Anthony can actually explain what they did in an understandable way. You can tell that they were bosses. John is very calm to and has good explicative skills.
One of my best friends is from BKNY. I asked him about Bath Ave. He said, " Yo, Rube I don't have no business in South Brooklyn because it's Mafia over there." true story, Paul. For real!
Been really enjoying the interviews of these former gentlemen. I admire Bobby and Anthony. I come back to this one now and then. This has been a journey and learning experience plus I guess I like to listen to them and in their accents and deep voices, just something charming about it but it also just reminds me back when I was little girl listening to my father and his friends sitting on the porch talking. It just feels familiar and it’s nice. As always, great interview to come back to. ♥️
Hey Mr Alite my name is Mario and I just want to say how much respect and admiration for your contributions to society. I know you were the real muscle behind the Gambino crime family. You aren't a talker you are a doer. Thank you for spreading the great message of education and unity. I respect you as a father and as a reformed man. God Bless you Sir!
@@stomper2888 The guy closest to John. I mean cmon, this guy said his biggest regret is “getting made because now he knows you don’t need to be involved with the life to make money on the streets.”
The most famous family name of the NY Mafia is Bonnano. Because it's the only family name originally from the Commission established by the late Lucky Luciano.
Amazing conversation. Bobby is a natural born leader. Clear as day. The way he speaks is soft, easy, yet to the point and devoid of bullshit. Open and honest speech that comes across as just authentic. Its easy to see why he would be such an effective mob boss. Arillotta seems like a smart, sharp, low-key guy. He might not be too into Bobby's idea of a podcast up in Boston though, lol. Seems like he just wants to stay low key, make money, and re build his relationship with his daughter, and I don't blame him. Also seems like hes got some shit going on in his head thats bothering him/stressing him out, maybe even weighing heavy. Luisi is captivating as hell though. His no bullshit tone is refreshing. I like the way he carries himself. Thanks for this podcast, gentlemen. I know it was released a while ago, but it was a pleasure none the less. Maybe the best I've seen on this channel so far. Shout out to Gene too. Hope you're doing well bro. Chin up.
when Bobby said he went up to Maine I wonder where he went 🤔 i grew up in the portland/biddeford area... I would love to know more about the New England guys
John Alite is a very intelligent dude, the guy sitting to John's right is very intelligent as well , neither one of them seem like hot heads, able to keep their cool under tremendous pressure, the guy to John's left . . . .I don't know he seems like he'd crack when he's all alone,
Thanks for the podcast. I licked the theme but I don't want to be in the theme. All intelligent men talking... But yeah. Respect for those guys for even being afront of the camera. We all have our own privacy and we should respect everyone, especially those that we don't know. P.S: The really scary thing in "the job" is to having a simple task "Stay here." You are the backup and Your heart is pumpin. My friend told me so. Plus that piggiebank sentence was ruthless.
FELIX you are a very lucky lucky man too be at a sit down wit what’s left of the real MAFIA !!! Legendary what I would do to be able to experience something like this how do you feel what’s the emotions what are you thinking in your head just must be awesome!!! 💯
Fascinating stuff. Arillotta looks like i would imagine a mafia boss. As a european Ive worked with Sicilian and Napolitano around europe. ( not crime). Amazing race of people 🤞
How can these guys talk about Patriarca and not mention Rhode Island one time. Providence was tougher than any of use and that was Patriarca’s main hub, not Boston.
John please and gene in the future take out your glasses unless you have some health issue which I heard you did before but I seen you with no glasses before if you do have issue John ignore this comment if you don’t then this comment makes sense this isn’t a club when you guys alone you can wear sun glasses but when you have guests I think would look better if you don’t wear club or cool glasses kids won’t understand what I’m saying but mature people who grew up same way I did would understand exactly what I’m talking about but new kids now days would say wtf you talking about and these are type of kids who were sun glasses and hats in church it’s not cool to wear dark sun glasses when guests sitting with you I feel like you have special guests and should maybe look more professional that’s my opinion and any grown ass man with manners would get exactly what I’m saying
Rob Thomas do you not know how to read ? I clearly said it’s disrespectful to be wearing sun glasses when you have guests you know nothing about respect this isn’t a club it’s a show so when you were sun glasses sitting with guests it’s disrespectful maybe do some research about what I’m saying ? It’s disrespectful because you wanna show your face to people when you sit with them do you wear sun glasses in church ? Or a hat ? It’s similar this isn’t a church but same way you have to respect the guests so if you don’t know what fuck I’m talking about then you don’t know what fuck respect is I guess we grew up different ways and our manners are not same maybe ask your father or someone older then you about what I’m saying and they will tell you actually it’s not only disrespectful it’s very disrespectful and insulting I assume your a little kid so it’s ok I won’t blame you
Rob Thomas so if you didn’t bother why did you comment ? You obviously read it and it’s not rant it’s a comment same way you commented see now you even look more stupid because you saying you didn’t read yet you still commenting lol I guess you are reading and I think you need your medication stop making yourself look stupid child
Rob Thomas your either a 10 year old or an old man with 10 year old mentality I don’t think we are on the same level for that reason I will not lower my standards here because you need to find someone on the same iq and level as you 😀
I could imagine Gene (in the white long sleeve shirt) wiping out everyone at that table in roughly 7-8 seconds with a nice subcompact semi 380. hold’n 10+ rounds, you can tell he’s quick and agile, capable of inflicting violence on a whim, or confronting others with a violent nature, even tho he doesn’t look like the toughest tough guy you’ve ever seen, which probably worked to his advantage in that if you hadn’t yet ever dealt with him you could easily underestimate him or view him as a non-threat, which would be a mistake.
Come on someone like that is dangerous so dangerous if you think he's that way tell someone that kid can shoot up a fucking restaurant where a family member
Mafia is in Italy, so the title is misleading. Cosa Nostra is in the US. Secondly, no one on here is a “Boss.” Not even close. Lastly, I’ve seen other interviews with Anthony and he seems like a good guy who has learned a lot about health, how this universe truly works, etc. Is there a way to contact Anthony?
Today’s podcast was Great, I could listen to the stories forever 👍 question does John have a email or some way to connect, have question about his sports advisor that I’m currently a member so to speak but have a question. Can’t wait for the series John talked about
Big contrast with the former gangsters and the gangsters from the 30s ,40s and 50s. That Rico is a m f . I still think our streets were safer when American gangsters ran the streets and kept most criminals in check. If innocent people were hurt the streets would give more just then the courts ever could.
John I believe every word you said and I'm going to stick with that for now and I think you know what I'm talking about and I'll just keep it to myself
It's all done. The Italians came over, brought the mafia with them and it florished thanks to them (the Italians). The Italians died out and the Italian culture, mentality, etc.. takes a generation or two to go after. Then your left with gene borrello.. an American with an Italian surname. The 1900's to 1980's Italians were around and the mafia was strong, the Italian neighborhoods, community, the culture, the language, the history, that mentality, it was all there. American's with Italian surnames are not the same as their great grandparents and grandparents. They'll remember them and their ways but they've become Italian-AMERICAN not ITALIAN-american. An American is an American, the Italian wiseguy of yesteryear is coming to an end.. shame. They stopped coming over and that was that.

That other rat Bulger supposedly sent a shipment of arms across the pond for the IRA and the boat which I believe was called "The vallhala" was caught by Irish police and army now I wonder who tipped them off about that my bet is on Bulger?? Ur the first person I've heard that's proud Alite sure he couldn't of been involved in the life 4 long I'm nearly the same age as him he must be only in his mid fifties?? And one more thing I've lived a long and tuff life so don't patronise me by saying you live there and no Bulger alot better then me, You don't no me from the man on the moon and we all no people on both sides of the law... I'm not arguing I'm not one of these clowns that talk big over the internet utube watever the fuck I'm just giving my opinion and regards my first comment 2 you I was nothing but respectful... Luv Boston by the way my brother in-law is a cop there😂😂 So there you go we all no people on both sides of the law👍🇮🇪🇺🇸🇮🇪
Why wouldn't Alite rather be with and earn money with the Albanian mob(if there is one)? Why work so much to impress the Italians who flat out say that he could never really be one of them? If he was with the Italians just for the money,that's one thing,but seems like it was more than that for him.
@@AristotleSanchez1000 first of all dont try to disrespect me by saying “ if there is an Albanian mob” as if im implying smth ok boy. he wasn’t the first non Italian in the family. back than there was not an Albanian mafia because of the dictatorship albania was in. for ur exclusive info yes there is an Albanian mafia.
This is the most civilized conversation I have seen in many years. These men were in a violent style of life but they surely know the meaning of respect; when one talks, the others listen and no personal attacks . As a New Yorker who grew up in the neighborhood that produced a Gotti and an Al Capone, I am impressed but not surprised. We lived in that neighborhood for five years when we first moved here from Puerto Rico . As children we had no idea of our real surroundings. All I know is that we were befriended by the jews and Italian Americans and that we were always safe. The people in our neighborhood were family oriented and at least on the surface lived normal law abiding lives. We loved the church dances and the delicious Italian pastries. Regardless, It was the fifties in Brooklyn, the teenage gang era and many of those kids ended in the organized crime families. My respect goes to you, your program and your very interesting guests.
Exactly. Today’s world would be an amazing place if people followed the RESPECT example that these guys conduct themselves with. Even little simple things here are great to see....They don’t talk over each other, they listen intently, they let the other person finish talking before they speak. Simple things like that provide for such a better and more cohesive environment. Generally speaking, the only people these guys ever whacked were the disrespectful punks that thought they were special and shit all over everyone.
@@truthteller4442 I agree. I’m not making excuses for breaking the law, but many of the youngsters who made organized crime their lifestyles are practically forced by their environment and their needs to make a living. ONCE convicted of any crime, getting hired by law abiding enterprises is almost impossible. Needless to say, they return to the old ways. There’s no real rehabilitation in our incarceration systems.
@@truthteller4442 For some reason,it seems it was because of Luisi and Arillotta that there wasn't the usual talking over each other on these types of videos
Great show. I remember in high school watching Chronicle on channel 5 talking about Anthony’s territory in Springfield. And all the herald stories about the war Bobby is talking about. Awesome show as always gentlemen
Yup I remember being very young in Somerville MA and you would hear stories about these mafia guys killing people. You would see the FBI raid houses all the time, the house I lived in had some mob activity because after my aunt moved in the FBI kept coming by asking for some Guys with Italian names she said. The guy across the st used to cook for them and they played cards in his basement, he had a HUGE German Shepard in the backyard. Rumor was they buried a body under the dogs little caged in area. NOBODY went back there but when the dog was out of the yard he was the nicest dog ever. I remember petting him almost everyday and his head was so big! Somerville was a tight knit city where everyone knew each other and got along for the most part. Fighting was normal and nothing serious, you had to fight though if you backed down nobody would let you play football or stick ball lol. I was like 7 years old and I’d fight the little racist kids that were too small for my cousins to beat up. All they did was offer me a piece of candy and I was kicking ass. 😅😅 now that I’m older I realize how bad that is but it was normal in those times. I would never start fights but you weren’t going to talk trash to me young or older. I’d call my cousins if you’re to big for me and if they had people we called my cousins sisters boyfriend and his brothers. It was like 4 big Haitian guys lol and one was a black belt. I was there when the city turned into a diverse city with Haitians, Asian,Spanish and Portuguese. Before that it was mainly Irish and Italian. Most of them were cool but you always have those little racist bastards lol. They all got dealt with though, one thing we hated was racist white people.
AA: How you gonna kill somebody these days with cameras everywhere & get away with it?
Chicago: hold my beer.
You sir are not lying , speaking as a gun violence survivor in Chicago
I was living in Springfield Mass from 2003 to 2013,,, right before Anthony went away. I know some people that knew him. It’s still a very Italian populated city
To John and Gene. I admire what you guys are doing with your show. I've commented on other videos you've put out and on other forums where others are doing the same, like Sammy's show/P.C., Gunner Lindbloom, L.Mazza, etc. I grew up with relatives involved in the life although I was too young to know at the time and my parents went out of their way to keep me and my brother and cousins away from it. I was a F.F./medic for 30 + years for one of the largest, metropolitan Fire/E.M.S departments in the country and have seen the results of mob, gang, cartel violence and know how kids are drawn into it looking for acceptance, brotherhood, wealth and respect and truly respect what you guys are doing to discourage them. I've seen the negative comments and flack you guys get from those who dont believe in your sincerity and think you're just capitalizing on your past. To the doubters I ask what are they doing? I also ask what would you expect these guys to do? They're sending a positive message and if they can earn a living doing so is it not better than what they once did. I'm sure it's also somewhat therapeutic for you as well. I believe you're lives are better spent doing what you're doing than rotting away in a cage. I'm truly amazed at how many of you guys there are who have openly admitted to your crimes, taken responsility for them and have the courage to openly dispel the myths and treachery of the life and publicly denounce it. It takes a lot of courage to do so and it is commendable. The only thing I dont understand is your position on Michael Franceze. I've heard you both explain how there are "earners" and "gangsters" in a family and both have their place or function. I've never heard Franceze claim he was tough guy and has admitted he doesnt really have the stomach for or enjoy the violence in the life. He has always stated he was a "money guy" and has never claimed he was anything but. I'm sure he's done things he'd rather not admit to especially if it can be used against him. He didnt aspire to be involved until his father received a 50 sentence. He, no doubt might have risen a little quicker because of his father but that's usually the case (in any proffesion) if they feel that the son has the same qualities as the father. He seemed to be very successful at what he did. I also dont understand mocking him for using the term "Capo Regime". His experience was in a different family at a different time and it is the term that was used for decades by the older, more traditional members. I know it sounds a little dated now. Anyway, I'm not trying to be critical of you guys. Again I respect and admire what you're doing. He's trying to do the same thing and his situation and experiences were a little different albeit with a lot of similarities. Anyway, keep the stories coming, enjoy them all and good luck and God bless you guys.
This. 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼. So spot on....well done 💪
I remember a lot of Winter Hill Gang and mafia guys hanging around the neighborhood when I was a kid in the 70's 80's in Boston.
No, you dont...,youre not even from southy, or the north end......youre not even from boston you dumb dumb
@@dicksteptoe9199 you are definitely not from southy yiu God damn mook
I really like how patient everybody is
Usually people in these videos talk over each other and nobody gets a chance to finish. I think this time it was because of Arrilotta ,who seemed the most serious and Luisi who has a big personality to go along with his former position
God is calling his people. These guys are proof. A real revival. Cool show, no joke man.
Nothing like a gun to the head or 20 years in the slammer to make you see God
This is SURREAL to see ex mafia on social media you tube spilling their guts on a so called secret society. 😂
They didn’t even spill the secret parts you idi0t… like the ceremony it’s self.. they completely left things out.. they just talked about crimes and their own life story.. you’re stupid to think they actually exposed any😂..
Bobby Luisi is the real Boston North End Italian tough guy. I could listen to him for hours, LEGENDARY!
@@stephensclamo4020 why?
He's a piece of shit ask anyone who was connected
It's not often you hear a compliment about the Philly Mob - Merlino, Borgese, Natale etc. Great interview.
Bobby Luisi, a man of wisdom, love what he said about respecting everyone, "everyone" plays a part, it's not just about being the tough guy!
yeah unless they are to be killed battered or extorted! then i guess respect goes out the window huh.
Alite can sit there quiet for mins and im here looking at him entertained af lol its like hanging out with the grim reaper
zarathustra718 that’s funny
Could have watched another 2 hrs of this, try make it a monthly thing. Great podcast
Can’t even imagine how polite these guys are
I knew John in 2003, he was very well spoken, polite and classy. He had a certain je ne sais pas about him that made me sense he was a connected guy. Only after watching him on Netflix did I know his extent.
That’s right tough as nails Massachusetts Italians 🇮🇹 🥊
In some strange way this was a blessing to watch. Lol. Kudos great round table. Love these men and their life lessons! Good stuff. Bada bing!
Funny how the two actual (Made Men) in this interview room seem the most humble next to the 2 outta 3 (associates) next to them with glasses trying to front the life. "the only person talking about John Elite is John Elite himself"- Sincerly The Associates Club. Not the Made Members Club.
Ikr, it’s funny how cool the made ones are. And then there‘s Alite.
Mad access boys. Thanks for the effort! Best from Oz...
You're welcome.
You would think that if the mafia was still what it was none of these podcasts would be going on. Just a thought
FYI - Bobby Luisi has the absolute best Mob 'accent' in the whole world. Period!
Sounds like Big Pussy...
Had to re watch this episode. By far my favorite video on this Channel. Felix is a great Host 2!
I'm glad you love this video so much! Your support is truly appreciated.
This is probably the best show you guys have done so far really great job listening to Bobby talk was awesome old school and Anthony’s always great
That's awesome gene mentioned Canada 🇨🇦 we do have a big mafia presence, here in South western Ontario and Montreal
Guys are really coming out with some great content, good on you guys cheers 🍻 more power to you 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Remember one thing, it was the Patriarca Crime family in Providence that the Boston guys worked for. That was the truth until Louie Shacks retired.
Federal hill
I almost spit out my coffee, when Bobby was talking about having to clip people, beat them etc., and he said, “We didn’t sign up for that!” 🤣 WHAT?!!!😂
Every one of them KNOWS EXACTLY, what’s coming, when you sign up for that life! (Especially GENE, he was chomping at the bit to move up, and couldn’t even WAIT for orders, he just went out and created his own reputation and street cred!!!😮
Ikr 😂 that’s a man right there that is someone who has that victim mentality. Nothing is ever his fault, the mafia “brainwashed him” 😂🤦🏽♂️ he probably knew he was going to cooperate before he ever got arrested
Table full of bosses, the stories that aren’t told...just imagine
Bosses don’t do interviews 💯
@@LA-oy4on correct, but these man were a part of that life sure they turned rat but that's a choice just like being in the mob, now some people don't have a choice
Bobby and Anthony can actually explain what they did in an understandable way. You can tell that they were bosses. John is very calm to and has good explicative skills.
I love this living in NewBedford . The accents are so thick
One of my best friends is from BKNY. I asked him about Bath Ave. He said, " Yo, Rube I don't have no business in South Brooklyn because it's Mafia over there." true story, Paul. For real!
Damn 25k views and these dudes got a setup like they work for a major radio station 🚉
Been really enjoying the interviews of these former gentlemen. I admire Bobby and Anthony. I come back to this one now and then. This has been a journey and learning experience plus I guess I like to listen to them and in their accents and deep voices, just something charming about it but it also just reminds me back when I was little girl listening to my father and his friends sitting on the porch talking. It just feels familiar and it’s nice. As always, great interview to come back to. ♥️
ua-cam.com/video/IajHlj_KHcM/v-deo.html
i thought you might enjoy
@@ChattinWithStaxxShow just saw this Staxx.. lol! I do enjoy your show , thanks for reaching out. You’re so sweet 🥰
Hey Mr Alite my name is Mario and I just want to say how much respect and admiration for your contributions to society. I know you were the real muscle behind the Gambino crime family. You aren't a talker you are a doer. Thank you for spreading the great message of education and unity. I respect you as a father and as a reformed man. God Bless you Sir!
“And it’s like Anthony said ....”you know”
Arilotta gives me the impression he’s still up to something. Not mob related, but he seems like he’s still doing stuff on the street.
He's a real thorough guy, don't give him a reason pal
@@stomper2888 The guy closest to John. I mean cmon, this guy said his biggest regret is “getting made because now he knows you don’t need to be involved with the life to make money on the streets.”
That’s cause he is .....I lived with this spanish girl and she use to mess with his son in Springfield mass ....real shit
Anthony being sued by the Bruno Family and he got busted for simple assault at family picnic
@@warrenpacker7044 Lol yeah I read that. Hurled a carton of lemonade at some broad lmao.
The genovese guy sounds like ray liotta in goodfellas. Bobby sounds like he's trying to hard to sound like a mob guy
The most famous family name of the NY Mafia is Bonnano. Because it's the only family name originally from the Commission established by the late Lucky Luciano.
Amazing conversation. Bobby is a natural born leader. Clear as day. The way he speaks is soft, easy, yet to the point and devoid of bullshit. Open and honest speech that comes across as just authentic. Its easy to see why he would be such an effective mob boss.
Arillotta seems like a smart, sharp, low-key guy. He might not be too into Bobby's idea of a podcast up in Boston though, lol. Seems like he just wants to stay low key, make money, and re build his relationship with his daughter, and I don't blame him. Also seems like hes got some shit going on in his head thats bothering him/stressing him out, maybe even weighing heavy.
Luisi is captivating as hell though. His no bullshit tone is refreshing. I like the way he carries himself.
Thanks for this podcast, gentlemen. I know it was released a while ago, but it was a pleasure none the less. Maybe the best I've seen on this channel so far.
Shout out to Gene too. Hope you're doing well bro. Chin up.
idk why it's funny watching mafia guys listen to a manscape sponsor add
when Bobby said he went up to Maine I wonder where he went 🤔 i grew up in the portland/biddeford area... I would love to know more about the New England guys
John Alite is a very intelligent dude, the guy sitting to John's right is very intelligent as well , neither one of them seem like hot heads, able to keep their cool under tremendous pressure, the guy to John's left . . . .I don't know he seems like he'd crack when he's all alone,
I'm a couple of days late to the meetin'. It was traffic.
@G R I'm here. It says what it says.
That's the best show a have seen John, Gene and Felix do
Niiiice! Loving the content, keep it up! The message is spreading, don’t let off the gas!
Nothing's changed
Kodos to all who made this podcast possible very interesting
When I commit crimes I leave my cell phone at home, Gene. And I never talk about crimes ever. They can listen all they want.
Best show ever guys. Respect.
Michael Franzese......Enough said
Caporeigme...Nuff Said
Lol Michael says “amigonostra”
Ha ha he knows his viewers are ignorant about the mob and the criminal underworld in general
Thanks for the podcast. I licked the theme but I don't want to be in the theme. All intelligent men talking... But yeah. Respect for those guys for even being afront of the camera. We all have our own privacy and we should respect everyone, especially those that we don't know.
P.S: The really scary thing in "the job" is to having a simple task "Stay here." You are the backup and Your heart is pumpin. My friend told me so. Plus that piggiebank sentence was ruthless.
The furnace of affliction, three brothers walked through fire, and so shall some of us a means to an end, but its actually eternal peace .
God bless from Ireland....really enjoyed this one lads
AMEN ALL GLORY TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOREVER AND EVER🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
FELIX you are a very lucky lucky man too be at a sit down wit what’s left of the real MAFIA !!! Legendary what I would do to be able to experience something like this how do you feel what’s the emotions what are you thinking in your head just must be awesome!!! 💯
Much respect for you two gentlemen.
Fascinating stuff. Arillotta looks like i would imagine a mafia boss. As a european Ive worked with Sicilian and Napolitano around europe. ( not crime). Amazing race of people 🤞
Really Good episode guys, thanks!
How can these guys talk about Patriarca and not mention Rhode Island one time. Providence was tougher than any of use and that was Patriarca’s main hub, not Boston.
Great show fellas!!! One of the best!!!
There is no way people are out here talking bout murders if they arent a fed
This was so good!
John please and gene in the future take out your glasses unless you have some health issue which I heard you did before but I seen you with no glasses before if you do have issue John ignore this comment if you don’t then this comment makes sense this isn’t a club when you guys alone you can wear sun glasses but when you have guests I think would look better if you don’t wear club or cool glasses kids won’t understand what I’m saying but mature people who grew up same way I did would understand exactly what I’m talking about but new kids now days would say wtf you talking about and these are type of kids who were sun glasses and hats in church it’s not cool to wear dark sun glasses when guests sitting with you I feel like you have special guests and should maybe look more professional that’s my opinion and any grown ass man with manners would get exactly what I’m saying
Rob Thomas do you not know how to read ? I clearly said it’s disrespectful to be wearing sun glasses when you have guests you know nothing about respect this isn’t a club it’s a show so when you were sun glasses sitting with guests it’s disrespectful maybe do some research about what I’m saying ? It’s disrespectful because you wanna show your face to people when you sit with them do you wear sun glasses in church ? Or a hat ? It’s similar this isn’t a church but same way you have to respect the guests so if you don’t know what fuck I’m talking about then you don’t know what fuck respect is I guess we grew up different ways and our manners are not same maybe ask your father or someone older then you about what I’m saying and they will tell you actually it’s not only disrespectful it’s very disrespectful and insulting I assume your a little kid so it’s ok I won’t blame you
Rob Thomas so if you didn’t bother why did you comment ? You obviously read it and it’s not rant it’s a comment same way you commented see now you even look more stupid because you saying you didn’t read yet you still commenting lol I guess you are reading and I think you need your medication stop making yourself look stupid child
Rob Thomas your either a 10 year old or an old man with 10 year old mentality I don’t think we are on the same level for that reason I will not lower my standards here because you need to find someone on the same iq and level as you 😀
Charles Carter thank you some kid commented said wtf I’m talking about
G Nasty thank you someone said time wtf I’m talking about I guess they don’t know anything about manners
I could listen to that guy from Boston talk about cat shit for 3 hours and still be completely enthralled!
I could imagine Gene (in the white long sleeve shirt) wiping out everyone at that table in roughly 7-8 seconds with a nice subcompact semi 380. hold’n 10+ rounds, you can tell he’s quick and agile, capable of inflicting violence on a whim, or confronting others with a violent nature, even tho he doesn’t look like the toughest tough guy you’ve ever seen, which probably worked to his advantage in that if you hadn’t yet ever dealt with him you could easily underestimate him or view him as a non-threat, which would be a mistake.
Come on someone like that is dangerous so dangerous if you think he's that way tell someone that kid can shoot up a fucking restaurant where a family member
Jesus Christ. You love this shit huh
John alite is doing a excellent now in life keep doing a good work.
Mafia is in Italy, so the title is misleading. Cosa Nostra is in the US. Secondly, no one on here is a “Boss.” Not even close. Lastly, I’ve seen other interviews with Anthony and he seems like a good guy who has learned a lot about health, how this universe truly works, etc. Is there a way to contact Anthony?
He has a Instagram it’s his name
Pastor If I was in your Area I’d definitely visit your church.
How was Alite a mob boss? He was not made nor would he ever be made. Im sure he worked with some made guys but I just don't get it.
Today’s podcast was Great, I could listen to the stories forever 👍 question does John have a email or some way to connect, have question about his sports advisor that I’m currently a member so to speak but have a question. Can’t wait for the series John talked about
Johnalite.com you can contact him
Big contrast with the former gangsters and the gangsters from the 30s ,40s and 50s. That Rico is a m f . I still think our streets were safer when American gangsters ran the streets and kept most criminals in check. If innocent people were hurt the streets would give more just then the courts ever could.
John I believe every word you said and I'm going to stick with that for now and I think you know what I'm talking about and I'll just keep it to myself
Bobby. Minchia. Strangest interpretation of Christianity I ever heard. My condolences on losing your child.
Must be the best one. Didnt know about Philly. Godbless. 😎🇺🇸
Licursi my name is Albanian. My family mon grassano.. Calabria Italia 🇮🇹.. Theres a village there what talk Albanian
Awesome podcast I subbed and I'll share it with a couple of brothers of mine.
Great show guys!!
It's all done. The Italians came over, brought the mafia with them and it florished thanks to them (the Italians). The Italians died out and the Italian culture, mentality, etc.. takes a generation or two to go after. Then your left with gene borrello.. an American with an Italian surname. The 1900's to 1980's Italians were around and the mafia was strong, the Italian neighborhoods, community, the culture, the language, the history, that mentality, it was all there. American's with Italian surnames are not the same as their great grandparents and grandparents. They'll remember them and their ways but they've become Italian-AMERICAN not ITALIAN-american. An American is an American, the Italian wiseguy of yesteryear is coming to an end.. shame. They stopped coming over and that was that.
yep they are all plastic now
Every dog has his day
Those old timers turning in their graves
Bosses 🤔 John Alite was a soldier at best
Associate 🙄
The Soprano's..Bobby from Boston reminds me of ' Big Pussy' Vincent Pastore from the Soprano's.. Was the Best Gangsta show on TV period !!
This was amazing bro
Great episode damn yous guys really get the exclusives fr good stuff keep it going forward respect and support over here !
Great Interview! ❤️
Love to hear more about the Boston and philly mob
Show keeps improving. Great job.
The mafia is not a secret society, it's a society with secrets.
