Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- As a teenager, AJ Galante was the youngest person to ever be president of a professional ice hockey team. Purchased by his father, James Galante, the team was called the Danbury Trashers. After AJ’s father gets swept up in a federal indictment and sentenced to years in Federal prison, the team is disbanded and AJ is forced to navigate life without his father and reinvent himself. In this episode we dive into the epic rise and fall of the Danbury Trashers, what it was like for AJ to visit his father in prison, and what it’s like to reinvent yourself after failure.

I truly appreciate how humble and self awareness he has..he is down to earth like a neighbor next door with a real story
I think it’s really a good sign when every new interview has people who are saying it’s their favorite interview so far. Love this channel!
Thank you!!
It's my least favorite but I like it
@@ianbickCT I like them all sir
This deserves way more views. The documentary was amazing. AJ is a great guy with such personality and charisma. I wish nothing but the best to him and his dad.
Appreciate you brother! Amazing time talking with you
The individual AJ's dad was kicking up to was one of the most legendary members of the Genovese Crime Family ever. He was literally a whale in terms of money and power. He was even the acting boss in the mid 2000's. He was extremely connected and goes back decades.
What was his name?

What an interview, I remember watching the doc the day it came out and immediately going to the teams Instagram, then buying a signed jersey from AJ and Jimmy. Iconic.

Aj a solid dude! The documentary was one of the best I’ve watched in years!
I really loved this episode. I know AJ and my son works out at Champs. He really is a kindhearted dude and I am really grateful to have gotten to know him.
Ian I look forward to every interview you do, thank you for all that you do.
Thanks for the support man
I've worked with a number of promoters; not all are so good to work for. I worked for AJ a couple of times and he's a class act, all the way.
Keep up the hard work . Keep grinding and the numbers will grow.
Thats the grind
Love this guy and his story, you can tell he’s a humble dude throughout everything that happened
There you go and just like that you are all ready up to the next level. You have definitely earned it 👍🇨🇦
Hard work pays off!
AJ!!! So pumped that you made it happen 😊
Same! Glad you enjoyed

Danbury CT will always be a special place, so many crazy stories come from such a small town, it's beyond logic?? Glover Teixeira a perfect example!!! Great job Ian, happy 4th 🎆🎇.
Agreed! Thanks man, you too!
came across our content awhile back gotta say man keep up the good work all your vid's are very interesting and keep you tuned in all the way threw
Thank you man!
I remember this documentary about the Trashers on Netflix…. By far that was my favorite episode. Glad to see him on your Channel Ian! Your content is interesting as Fuck 🙏🤘❤💪
He’s the man!! Thanks so much
So are you Dude. I’ve been super into your interviews 🤘
My neighbor in state prison (for months) was Carmine Galante’s grandson. Same name (Galante). He also loved Boxing. CMC Max. Or, Clinton, I can’t remember for sure. He was out of Brooklyn or Queens.
Looking forward to watching this ❤
Not gonna lie I didn't really care for this interview at first, but it ended up being f'n great! Glad I stayed tuned.
Glad you enjoyed!
Love your hustle bro
Most of what this man speaking is about is one of the 2 main philosophies and rules that I live by, Don’t judge a book by its cover. Everybody has a story regardless of how we look or come across without getting to know us. 💯 on that. ✌🏼
Ian bro 1 min I remember you getting out of prison and starting this pod next thing I know 130k subs!!! You did it bro just wanted to give you congrats!!
Thank you bro 🙏
Why does he look like a white version of DJ Khaled 💀
😂 fr tho!
Such a crazy story!
I fucking loved that doc on Netflix. So goof
I remember watching the TRASHERS documentary and i literally cried when it all ended. 😢
I used to take care of his father’s lawn in New Fairfield about 18 years ago. I’d ring the doorbell and his father would poke his head out, pan left and right, and then give me the ok. I always remember an unmarked squad car down the end of the culdesac they lived on. Crazy
Man this guy's a Good guy, hope my son is half as respectful as him
I’m from Long Island and I used to drive to work in Danbury . It’s a very unique place. I fell in love with a Brazilian girl. For those who know, will know exactly what I’m talking about 🤣. I worked on White st at a auto glass shop. Shout out to Ian for always posting interesting content. Every video is great. Keep hustling.
Thanks so much man!
I've seen most of your interviews, and I have to say....other than the Jay Williams episode, this has got to be one of my absolute favorite ones!
Thank you!! I love this one
@@ianbickCT all you bring is fire! Definitely love all the videos with JD Delay too! His story resonates with me heavily being a person in recovery for 2 years now. Y'all give dudes like me the ability to see that you can still do something with life even after mistakes! Love the channel bruddah!!!
Freshest fade of all time
Thanks!
Hockey is life family here (from vegas... Thunder 🎵boom boom boom, let me hear wayhooo) so commenting to pay ESG SCS for that reason 💚
100k let’s go!!!!
We made it!
I like this dude he’s real ⚔️🥊
The funniest thing about this and a lot of Ian’s interviews is if you asked a layman which one of these guys did fed time no one’s picking Ian lmao.
I’m from Derby Ct and I remember in middle school Danbury had the nastiest wrestling team. Every weight class had killers
I had to get a trashers shirt after this video...lmao section 102.....
Did nobody ask about “driving,” 😂 brother still mad he could never get a nap in. 1:01:34
This channel will have a million subs in a year...
Lets hope!!
I think I saw a documentary about this guy
I wanted to not like this kid, but he does a hell of a job with these interviews, keep it up!
Thank you man
Mrs gallonte!!is a sweetheart she was my boss tours the end
In the yard!! Lol
I thought i wasn’t gonna like this guy..lol.. but he seems pretty solid
Better and better
Best podcast. Overtaking the NelkBoys and Rogan
Thank you🙏❤️
The real aj soprano
This story is hilarious
Damn i just noticed this is Galantes son the Mob bosses son
Hat City in the house!
Here's the reason the show works. You.
No way!!! Someone get this to Taylor, MurkaDurka
This guy loves to hear himself talk about himself
Why don’t you interview some Chaldeans? And wear some Polo
Guys like AJ are blessed by Jesus...Had everything girls money wwe wrestlers coming to his party and MUCH MORE....ALWAYS remember Jesus doesn't love all humans he has his favourites he gives so much too..The others he didn't care for he makes there life garbage
Noe
Those chicken wings were delicious
LMAOOOOOO
In I would never found your podcast if I didn't watch Jay Williams and saying that I'm hooked on your content but I would also like to know how I can get a t-shirt please please please send me a t-shirt please
Thank you man! We are working on new merch
If u know u know (the family)
This guy is lame story teller trying to embellish every detail.
Dude I am really impressed at your progress. I said it a few days ago but I was very against you in the beginning but you have truly come a long way and have taken criticisms very well. You’re gonna do great things on UA-cam and as gay as it is “I’m locked in” 😂
Hey man, I appreciate this and your support. Criticism is how we grow! Always try my best to read feedback and learn from it. This is my life so I want to be the best I can be. 🙏🫡
This dude doesnt want to be labeled as spoiled but has never had to build anything himself. If he came from poverty, he would have starved. Never missed a ppv wrestling event when many didnt have a tv. Hes not spoiled tho because he hung out at work with his dad a few days a year.
Connecticut is a joke. It should be a continuation of westchester county 😂
KIDS A GENTLEMAN. 💯💯💯🥅🏒🏒
Great job Ian you always have great interviews. Keep up the good work I love it!
