Happy Birthday Anthony ! I turned 70 also this year 😅on September 10th . Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I grew up in New Rochelle NY Love your show Great content Thank you ! Russ
Looking great! Love your content 👌🏽 can tell you’re a 100perecent genuine man and you’re great telling stories of your old life and I will look forward to more content! All the best from England 🙏🏽
prison can really help. your not eating all kinds of horrible foods . being out in the mobster life eating steak and hamburgers every day is not healthy. if your getting exercise everyday and u your on a simple consistent diet your body has a chance to heal itself.
The difference between Tommy and Angelo is pretty clear. Tommy looking at the big picture explains why he was so successful and retired without a care and why Angelo spent his whole life living week to week trying to earn a couple of bucks to stay afloat. Sad
Haha once I clicked on this video I thought every other sentence from Anthony includes “My Father” and the 1st words I hear when it starts “My Father” 😂😂
Yes, because his father was a legend’s Legend. all these famous made dudes (even bosses) wished to be and respected. I would call him your favorite wise guys favorite wise guy.
And if he didn’t mention his father; you jerk offs would bring him up anyways. It’s lose, lose living in the shadows of your father. Wether good or bad! He was just as much of a gangster as any of those other guys were. Shit, he hit his own brother in law. You couldn’t live in this man’s shadow or speak on 1/10 of the life experiences he has! Fat Andy was truly a legend. I remember very vividly when he came to a gathering if you will, in Jersey back then. My grandfather was Gyp DiCarlo. Former capo of the Genovese NJ faction. Trust me when I tell you; Fat Andy was no joke. A nice man, but a serious man.
I spoke with Tony multiple times in Chicago 18 yrs ago and delivered a envelope back to a company I worked for containing 80 K His last words to me when I drove away was.. DONT GET LOST... L. O. L... TRUE STORY..
I agree I must say Anthony you do look great I mean for 70 years old I wouldn’t even think it may I’m 73 and I look like a 93 so God bless you Anthony and thanks for the stories
You're my favorite mafia YT channel, Mr. Ruggiano. You're honest and you tell great stories. Michael Franzese is too pushy with his crazy politics and Sammy the Bull makes himself the hero in every story he tells, so I don't follow them. You should have more subscribers than those two clowns. Sorry if they're your friends. I just don't respect them. I respect you. Thank you!
Thinking back on the neighborhood, i remember the flea market, before they built the casino, i remember they rioted the last day it was open, but i dont remember if the home Depot was there or not
I love your content sir don't let the fools out there bother you just keep doing what your doing sir and all the intelligent people out here will keep watching and supporting. How much is your patreon?
Hi Anthony great show in your life you and your late father RIP must have known a whole host of deadly wiseguys between you in the life hats off to you your real man all the best from Tony c uk
Man I could listen to these stories all day.. I’ve heard them all over the years. But it’s nice to hear more/new stories from someone who was there and the behind the scenes from other prospectives
I went to Ny,in late 97/98,and again in maybe may,or March 2000.(to watch the Lewis v Grant fight at msg).I'd love to go back again,we used to drink in scruffy Duffys,and stayed in the Carter hotel ,probably the worst in New york.Btw,on the same road as the Carter hotel (this is new years eve 97/98).there was an Italian restaurant which is where we saw the new year in.this is in Manhattan obviously,near time square.🇬🇧
hello anthony great show. i was wondering if you knew a guy who was tommys driver(mikey whispers) irish guy was a really funny guy. i knew him from jfk trucking company.i miss that guy. he was so kool was from greenpoint.cant wait to see those netflix series.thanks bro.
If you ever come to St. Louis I would love to meet ya I’m just a dumb construction worker but always said if I was Italian I would of been in the mob also I love the story’s
I gotta respect tommy gambino. If he would have given you the route back he would have looked weak and everyone would strongarm him. That was a critical time for him. Given that his uncle was just clipped and his position in the family was unsure, he needed to show some strength to keep the wolves at bay. If he had caved then it would have been the beginning of the end for him. You were definitely overconfident. You had no plan for if he said no. You could have offered to buy the route from him and just loan the purchase price to the guy asking for the favor so now you get the money from the route and the vig or you could have looked for a way to blackmail him.- "Listen Tommy, we heard you have a problem that we can help you out with. . ."
Well it wasn’t the money it was the principal. I woulda said yes I see it’s a principal thing but we need something else Tommy. Give us something else comparable. We can’t go back to our guys with nothing because we will look bad.
Tommy was like his father, in the sense of thinking two or three moves down the road. Very Machiavellian. It was a fact, how does he tell the next people. My thought would have been ok, I understand Tommy for angle here. Since you said, “you wish” you could do this for me, is there something else you could do for me? Such as, give me a job in the garment district, let me do something else for you to earn money?
That is a great story about someone who doesn't normally feature in these stories. One of the great survivors because he made a lot of money and really did very little time. I think lots of us assumed the Gambino brothers survived by rolling over to tougher guys. Maybe not. People died around then over much less money but the Gambinos could buy a lot of protection I suppose. Who wanted to see anyone kill the Golden Geese?
Tommy was right to say no. You guys came in looking for a free deal, like give me some of your thing, Quack there, tommy would have had all kinds of people hitting him up for stuff.
@AnthonyRuggiano Do you know the story of Patsy Parrello from Arthur ave “Genovese” that Patsy smacked Frankie Lo’s son and for revenge Frankie had Patsy’s son killed
how did Tommy Gambino get that guys trucking route . did he buy it . why would he just give up that route for free . could you have said the guy was on record with you guys .
Why don't more guys who have millions just leave the life? I mean if you have millions you could easily retire, change your name, location outside U.S. and whatnot. And not have to worry about sent to tough penitentiaries with ridiculous sentences. They can't as soldier life - or they don't want to, as they want to see everybody does their part and not giving up any information easily? Or is it just a question of greed and being addicted to power sort of?
See that's why the young bulls had to start taking old horses to pasture. Had he giving yous that route . He could gave scored points idunno. That would have me hot
Sammy has a story that John was ripping into tommy gambino just fkn abusing him . I’ll bet it was about this . I can’t see that story not getting back to John .
Is it possible that Tommy didn't do you guys a favor because he knew that Angelo was part of the crew that killed his uncle? Maybe it was his way of saying f you. He certainly could have said no to others who came to him later.
I have some questions for you- Do you think John would have been better off to clip angelo ruggiero and give paul the tapes than to clip paul and become boss? Do you think John had what it takes to be a good boss? Who do you think would have been a better boss, Sammy or John?
You give a up 1000, it would end up every mob guy wanted a piece of he's business. Tommy knew how to handle these mob guys he's father taught him well. He had pride in what he did good for Tommy.
John Gotti was the boss,Angelo should have went straight to John then Tommy couldn't say no. I was in garment trucking also. I would have liked to hear the whole story. My father also had a trucking business in the garment center.
Is it possible to just skate by like say Tommy Gambino he probably never had to make his bones sounds like he never did any of the regular rackets. Seems like he just ran his legit business an that was that. Did he actually get by an never have to do anything. I came from the mc world an u can get by not getting involved in any of the rackets if there are any but when its time to get busy an go to battle theres no escaping that u have to get busy. Everyones card gets pulled an u better about it or ur gonna have repercussions.
I don’t watch much from the mob genre on UA-cam anymore but I love your channel. It just seems authentic and often goes beyond mob life.
Agree 100%
I watched it ! You were excellent ! 💯🔥
Fridays are always better with Anthony’s videos 😊. An excellent way to start the day.
Contents so good, some new story’s that’s not been told keep it up
Happy Birthday Anthony ! I turned 70 also this year 😅on September 10th . Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I grew up in New Rochelle NY Love your show Great content Thank you ! Russ
Another great video🥂
you are amazing and very honest … can’t wait to see you in another movie

Its crazy how good you look for 70
Thank you

@@darrenlesueur4785that’s ass backwards the diet in prison is horrible lmao. wtf are you talking about
Ikr, I couldn’t believe he’s 70.. looks better than some guys in there 40s early 50s
@@darrenlesueur4785what are you talking about? The food in prison is garbage. Are Ramen noodles healthier than steak? They have no nutritional value
The difference between Tommy and Angelo is pretty clear. Tommy looking at the big picture explains why he was so successful and retired without a care and why Angelo spent his whole life living week to week trying to earn a couple of bucks to stay afloat. Sad
You're a great story teller. I very much enjoy watching your videos.

He had a great point and why Carlo didn't pay his nephew's ransom, they will do it again
Go on anto fairplay pal
Should've said listen tommy I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse 😂😂😂

U look great for 70 GodBless brother.
I was at a sit down with your dad when i was called up im from Montreal
Tommy gambinos nose looked like a freaking boomerang
have you guys figured out how to extort you tube yet ?
UA-cam extorts us. Please send help.
Is this an old video? I’m confused.
Love the show on Netflix. Happy late Birthday...you don't look 70.
What John Say About it ?
What is your opinion on who led the fbi to the apartment above the ravenite ??
I gotta respect tommy gambino. If he would have given you the route back he would have looked weak and everyone would strongarm him. That was a critical time for him. Given that his uncle was just clipped and his position in the family was unsure, he needed to show some strength to keep the wolves at bay. If he had caved then it would have been the beginning of the end for him.
You were definitely overconfident. You had no plan for if he said no. You could have offered to buy the route from him and just loan the purchase price to the guy asking for the favor so now you get the money from the route and the vig or you could have looked for a way to blackmail him.- "Listen Tommy, we heard you have a problem that we can help you out with. . ."
Love your channel Anthony
Well it wasn’t the money it was the principal. I woulda said yes I see it’s a principal thing but we need something else Tommy. Give us something else comparable. We can’t go back to our guys with nothing because we will look bad.
*principle
🐾
Anyone know the last name of Uncle Willy from the Bronx?
Anthony, my apologies if you've answered this, But how, when, and where did your dad meet Tony Lee?
Tommy was like his father, in the sense of thinking two or three moves down the road. Very Machiavellian. It was a fact, how does he tell the next people. My thought would have been ok, I understand Tommy for angle here. Since you said, “you wish” you could do this for me, is there something else you could do for me? Such as, give me a job in the garment district, let me do something else for you to earn money?
I thought John put Angelo Quack Quack on the shelf? This was later after Frankie was killed.
Welcome to the senoirs club.
Sounds Like Tommy . R I P TOMMIE .!"
B T W Be lated Happy Birthday
That is a great story about someone who doesn't normally feature in these stories. One of the great survivors because he made a lot of money and really did very little time.

Hey Anthony, can you do a video about Dominick Montiglio ? Never really learned much about him besides blowing a guy up in his car for his uncle Gaggi
@AnthonyRuggiano Do you know the story of Patsy Parrello from Arthur ave “Genovese” that Patsy smacked Frankie Lo’s son and for revenge Frankie had Patsy’s son killed
Anthony is 70? Damn i would never guess. I thought he was like maybe 61 and a half or something
I was proposed to get straightened out in 2002.
Anthony Veditti was the cops name
#️⃣1️⃣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹🌹🌹
how did Tommy Gambino get that guys trucking route . did he buy it . why would he just give up that route for free . could you have said the guy was on record with you guys .
You look dam good for 70

See that's why the young bulls had to start taking old horses to pasture. Had he giving yous that route . He could gave scored points idunno. That would have me hot
Fritzy was my father bank.
Looking good and healthy at 70. To hell with milk. That Mediterranean diet does a body good! 😁
Sounds like Angelo Quack, was the guy who was supposed to bargain with Tommy G but didn't have the intellect to do so on the route thing.
Yep exactly
Should have seen it tommys way out of respect for Carlo. Regardless of who his uncle was
Does the name Hernandez mean anything to you?
He had his own drug money he didn't care about that money
Great point
Sammy has a story that John was ripping into tommy gambino just fkn abusing him . I’ll bet it was about this . I can’t see that story not getting back to John .
They should have just went to John and let him decide who gets the route. They had no business going to Tommy. John decides yes or know.
70 holy fk u look amazing
Lol tommy was greedy damn... This is your own family... Tommy was just bitter about paul... Had to be... He knew these were gottis pals
Tommy hated Gotti and his whole crew he could have gave the route back and told the next guy no, but it's clear you lost
If you told these mob guys in the 80’s you will be content creators for UA-cam, they would they would say what the fu3k is that then lol.
Is it possible that Tommy didn't do you guys a favor because he knew that Angelo was part of the crew that killed his uncle? Maybe it was his way of saying f you. He certainly could have said no to others who came to him later.
🇬🇷🇮🇹 una faccia una razza
You Napoletans, want it to shake down a Sicilian and couldn't do it. Not surprised!
I have some questions for you- Do you think John would have been better off to clip angelo ruggiero and give paul the tapes than to clip paul and become boss?
Do you think John had what it takes to be a good boss?
Who do you think would have been a better boss, Sammy or John?
You give a up 1000, it would end up every mob guy wanted a piece of he's business. Tommy knew how to handle these mob guys he's father taught him well. He had pride in what he did good for Tommy.
John Gotti was the boss,Angelo should have went straight to John then Tommy couldn't say no. I was in garment trucking also. I would have liked to hear the whole story. My father also had a trucking business in the garment center.
Why didn’t you take the issue to the boss? I’m sure John would’ve ruled in your favor
Did you know Angelo sepe
Is it possible to just skate by like say Tommy Gambino he probably never had to make his bones sounds like he never did any of the regular rackets. Seems like he just ran his legit business an that was that. Did he actually get by an never have to do anything.
