Anthony, thank you for the great podcast. You tell a great story, especially with the Copa! I was a Firefighter in the Boston area and an EMT as well. I dealt with a lot of overdoses. I'm glad Anthoney, you're trying to help people!
Got your show off ov seeing you on OC shorts ..v cool to get day to day REAL stories about your era Anthony and your family connections back to the 40/50s congratulations.
I actually (and unfortunately) have some bad stories about Tony, through personal experiences of family members of mine… It just goes to show what little we truly know about the big stars out there..
@@Noone6891kl Sorry for just seeing this.. the least scandalous I think I can tell is how a second cousin of mine (a male) was pimped out during the 70s in Lake Tahoe by his scumbag father... Guess who was a regular client?
That was me Pete with the wonderbread trailers. I worked there in the depot at conner st. Bronx. We went on strike they closed. Remember big Becker. He worked the ozone depot.
Anthony, Great show as always! Looking forward to you sitting down with Sammy someday….. Question, why did the Copa close down? Must have been a big money maker…. Thanks, Mark from Boston
Vinny "Ocean". I might add that I've heard (and researched) that Jackie "The Kid" (Det. Partnership) had an inspirational part in creating the character "Tony Soprano". Pretty interesting. Love your videos by the way. Your Pop is up there on my list of the most fascinating figures in the life.
Vito Genovese’s wife was actually a big backer of the early gay clubs in NYC… many say she had a “lover” who worked at many of the female drag/butch nights!
Vinny oceans. That was the inspiration for tony sopranos character. And yes I’d like a shot at the title. Jason from Youngstown area. Thanks Should be fun. !
I worked the MCCNY Law Library when the Pizza Connection came thru the Federal legal/correctional systems back during the late 80s. I showed them all a lot of respect. I sure appreciated all their back up when some dumb ass street urchin inmate acted inappropriately. OC inmates and most of the Colombians were all on my ''favorites'' list.
Also, I forgot to mention Anthony, God bless all you New Yorkers and the Victim's of 911!! I worked a 24hr shift that day, in a Firehouse in the Boston area. I'll never forget that day! I think of all you people, the victim's and Family members. My prayers go out to the FDNY, NYPD and Port Authority people, for their help in dealing with this horrific tragedy!
Anthony i loved the story about taking dates to the copa and signing you dad's name on the bill when you were short of cash. Did your father say anything about it ?
Hey, did you ever meet Margaret "Maggie" Trudeau at Studio 54? Her husband was the Prime Minister of Canada back then. She used to run away to New York to party all of the time. She's also the mom of our current Prime Minister.
when you get in the mob dothey put record keeping on paper or some device with who with who who dies whatever whose on record with who or is it all recorded in the mind..RocknRollFlat5
That's right Anthony us 🇮🇹 can Cook in prison.. Ohio born and raised Have done time in Ohio and OKC. Love your PODCAST. You and the Sit down are my 2 favorite. Just caught your interview with Jeff. Awesome....🇮🇹 Keep it up...
Back in the '90s. A couple of the books written about John Gotti and even the documentaries that used to come out on A&E all the time stated that the Gambino's were a two faction family. The blue color side answered to Neil delacroch and the white collar side answered to Paul castellano, is this true?
In 1989 i went to the Ritz to see Meatloaf play and during one of his songs he reached down to where i was standing in the front row and pulled me up on stage with him and i sung with him for a few seconds before the bouncers kicked me off stage, great night, RIP Meatloaf and the Ritz
Sit down w scarpa jr,when you were in Detroit,do you remember who yr father n tony lee sat down with? Tony or Vito jack,frank the bomb,Anthony corrado,angello melli, black jack tocco,tony zerilli?
No one can tell you who you should sit down with, but for me pistone doesn't deserve the exposure some people give him. Mr Franzese has had sit downs with Chaz Palminteri. Do you know guys who grew up around the life but didn't enter the life?
During the time Obama was running for his first term for president i was working at Las Vegas and I became friends with a very well connected older woman that lived there! She showed me pictures of her & Bobby Derrin & Lefty Rosenthal on Bobby's boat out on lake mead, true or false of course I do not know but I mentioned Jimmy Hoffa one day and she told me if the levees at lake mead were to ever break that chunks of Hoffa would be coming thru the sinks and showers toilets on the Thee Old Vegas Strip! She went on to say that Hoffa was thrown off of the back of Bobby's Boat on lake mead!
Wow that story about fat andy and his daughter is GREAT.. you disrespect fat andy treat him like a J O you see how quick tom jones ran back to make that right the next night I love it !!! Your father was the real deal he should have been the boss, and if he wasn’t in prison during johns reign I bet he makes him underboss without a doubt 🤍✌️🫡 thanks for another great story anthony it made my day
Did you know Dominic montiglio? I've seen him in a bunch of documentaries and I read the book murder machine. I get the feeling he wasn't as connected as he claims.
Currently this man is providing the best mob related content online today., hands down. Thanks Anthony!
Agreed
Recipe for the sardines sauce, if you mind?... thx
Always a good day when Andy puts up a new one.
great story I'm from ENY and ozone park and I worked at the cobcabanna in the early 90 security
Thank you Michael
I just love listening to you Anthony!
Anthony, thank you for the great podcast. You tell a great story, especially with the Copa! I was a Firefighter in the Boston area and an EMT as well. I dealt with a lot of overdoses. I'm glad Anthoney, you're trying to help people!
Thanks Andy! Much love from SC
A sitdown with any one of those 3 will be a treat.
You do have the greatest stories. You need a movie of you life, it would trump any mob movie made.
😅
Keep up the great work Anthony. You’ve got me addicted to your stories. Best wishes from the UK
Best content in this YT genre.

RIP to Tony Bennett, who I'm sure played the Copa.

Telling you, bison burgers are JUICY!!!

Anthony,
Great show as always!
Looking forward to you sitting down with Sammy someday…..
Question, why did the Copa close down? Must have been a big money maker….
Thanks,
Mark from Boston
Vinny ocean was the inspiration used for the tony soprano character and i def want a shot at the title I have mafia knowledge for days lol 🫡🙌🏼❤️🔥
I’m reading John Alite book mafia international in it he says fat Andy raised Nicky corozzo, did you guys grow up together?
Great stories.
ozone pizza is definitely off the charts, upside down sicilian

Why did it close down?
Ritchie "the boot" Boiardo is my guess on the Tony Soprano question.
i would love to know the things u saw at studio 54....😎
Awesome stories.
Thanks for listening
@@AnthonyRuggiano Ciao, Parri Sicilianu? Grazie pi lu video. Salut!
Would love an episode on Joe Gallo, a consigliere for multiple bosses.
Heard Costello owned it
Same here
I love the story about your father and your sister and Bobby Darren.
@Anthony did you have interactions with Nino Gaggi and his nephew Dominick Montiglio ??
Is that JC all the way on the left?
Can’t believe that pic. Gave to show someone
He will get kick out it.
Vito Genovese’s wife was actually a big backer of the early gay clubs in NYC… many say she had a “lover” who worked at many of the female drag/butch nights!
Vinny oceans. That was the inspiration for tony sopranos character.
And yes I’d like a shot at the title. Jason from Youngstown area.
Thanks Should be fun. !
Pauly is the character based on Vinny oceans down to the hairstyle when he was a powerful captain not the boss

My favorite pizza is the old Rosa on 69th street in maspeth

All the Chefs were Chinese back then. Just like now a lot of Chef's are Latin now
Why don’t you put your picture on a shirt?
when you get in the mob dothey put record keeping on paper or some device with who with who who dies whatever whose on record with who or is it all recorded in the mind..RocknRollFlat5

That's right Anthony us 🇮🇹 can Cook in prison.. Ohio born and raised Have done time in Ohio and OKC. Love your PODCAST. You and the Sit down are my 2 favorite. Just caught your interview with Jeff. Awesome....🇮🇹 Keep it up...
I'd file lawsuit against the government! Taking all the mobs bread and butter... 😂😂 pay day loans/ numbers aka lotto / many others

Sit down w scarpa jr,when you were in Detroit,do you remember who yr father n tony lee sat down with? Tony or Vito jack,frank the bomb,Anthony corrado,angello melli, black jack tocco,tony zerilli?
Day old wonder Bread stores . Hostess pies 25 cents each donuts miss thoes Days .
Anthony want to open a loan shark office ?? Called payday loans today? You In ?
No one can tell you who you should sit down with, but for me pistone doesn't deserve the exposure some people give him. Mr Franzese has had sit downs with Chaz Palminteri. Do you know guys who grew up around the life but didn't enter the life?
Did you just give out your own phone number??
Baba Louuuuu !
Why didn’t you show the pictures with Bobby Darren
During the time Obama was running for his first term for president i was working at Las Vegas and I became friends with a very well connected older woman that lived there! She showed me pictures of her & Bobby Derrin & Lefty Rosenthal on Bobby's boat out on lake mead, true or false of course I do not know but I mentioned Jimmy Hoffa one day and she told me if the levees at lake mead were to ever break that chunks of Hoffa would be coming thru the sinks and showers toilets on the Thee Old Vegas Strip!
