    I can't get enough of these stories! Just got back from the gym, laying on the couch and listening to stories! I loved growing up in New York! I thank God I did. My father would tell me some stories about the mob and his connection. I can't get enough!

    Anthony I first learned about you through Michael F , Were about the same age and wanted to say I think your a real gentleman and I really enjoy your podcast .

    Anthony, you are the best former mob guy on UA-cam!

    Rita always shares some really great stories about her father. I can picture Vincent Gigante sitting there with his family around on Sundays while guys from the inner circle of his family whisper in his ear and pass notes that are then ripped up and burned. I’ve never heard that story before but I just always envisioned him doing business and passing down orders like that. As far as away from his social club or any potential wiretap as humanly possible. Guy had like 20 layers of protection around him lol.

    The difference with Anthony and a lot of former mob guys on UA-cam is that although he was very entrenched in that life from a young age, he was/is intelligent enough to have picked up on a lot of the scenery. He’s a lot more relatable.

    Love these 2 together and I love listening to Rita. We’re close in age. I sooooooo relate to living in fear and anxiety everyday of the week, never knowing while we came in from school and which credit card co. Wd call or where her card wd be declined. Those calls determined how we’d live that wk. The only Chin in the house was me. My middle name pronounced Vicenza. Lol after my dads sis confirmed me. Sunday’s were awesome but I’m 61 now and I just can’t do too much Sunday sauce over plain Macs. I’m really sick of infamous Sunday sauce and we make a gd one. Great show !!! God bless both of you

    @mikeybronx7672 Рік тому +2

    Wow Anthony , your a fabulous narrator to the story of your life ! Story so we’ll done fantastic! Your vibe was so real you opened Rita because she was comfortable with you obviously because you both shared powerful father’s. She was more at ease then I have ever seen or heard her before, she shared things with you , like stories, that we never heard her say., there is no way a woman like her, would share information with somebody that she isn’t comfortable with. She shared incredible information with you. I just can’t believe it like the story about the dog 🐕 “ Bullets “ 😮Unreal… it was definitely an inside guy because he was able to poison the dog shortly after the the incident took place either it was a cop, or it was an inside guy someone close to him that he trusted. But the guy was stupid didn’t cover his tracks. They found him quick, and he vanished from the planet.! Awesome interview . Every interview with you and Rita is going to be amazing because you share something very much in common powerful dad’s. Dad’s that were legends. Can’t wait for the next interview., !!
    Respect brother “ salute “

You now save lives on a daily basis it’s crazy you had done a complete 180.. you’re very individualistic I don’t think there anybody like you. You’re so underrated I can’t stand it but one day brother one day you’re gonna break in your followers will go to the millions because you’re real ! real recognize real my brother. And you got it all day every day! My man.. shit how can you not it’s in your bloodline ? lol Much respect ti you my brother !

    I enjoy your clips/shows...if you remove the mob part this is how I grew up as well. In fact many of the things you've spoken about are similar experiences to how I grew up.....the only difference is , my family wasn't involved in any type of criminal enterprise and we are northern italian.
    I only know of one mob guy that was northern italian...Greg scarpa...he was trevisan....did you know of any others?
