My grandpa was a Chicago cop and eventually detective. Heard a lot of crazy stories about him taking down mobsters and even have old newspaper clippings of him standing around dead bodies and criminals in his long beige trench coat lol Super cool & always loved hearing about it. Absolutely great interview!
I'm not going to lie you had me crying I never expected to do that today you got me Mark LOL there's nothing as touching as a man showing his heart that's special thanks for that this morning Mark I really needed it
I respect mobsters more than politicians. With the mob, you know what you’re getting. Al Capone bought my grandfather, who sold airplanes, dinner once. That’s more than any politician ever did for him.
When he got emotional there at the end was pretty incredible, she saved his life and he knows he wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for her,,that's good stuff right there , I love it
Tommy you’re tough. You’re a good man too. Keep leaning towards kindness. Thanks Mark for another informative and entertaining video. You’re a really good man.
What Tommy says about your work changing his attitude to those less fortune than himself is spot on. Keep on doing what you are doing you are making a positive difference to the world.
I get a "Tommy Dye" notification, and it put a Smile on my face. Out of prison a better man. Successful. Humbled. The 8 friends that suicided, breaks my heart. I fought tears too about yr end story. Bless you both ♡+♡. 😌🐦🇨🇦
100% this changed my perspective. 100% I will follow “Tommy’s” advice and “…talk to them and treat them like a human being” 100% thank you Mark and Tommy
O M G ❤ yessss this was great - love the change of content and how raw this guy was - not even knowing the ENTIRE interview was being tapped! 😂 yes I have tears coming down my face ❤ love your videos ❤
@SoftWhiteUnderbelly, you are carrying on the work of one of the greatest Chicagoans to ever walk those streets, Studs Terkel. I, for one, am very grateful for that.
Great stories! And loved the joke about the grandma and tomatoes lol I'm from Chicago, so very interesting to me. I was down near Rush street late 70s early 80s wow. And love watching Chicago PD. My grandfather knew Al Capone, just fyi. Thanks for another great interview❤👍
Tommy D & Kai Blessings, Love & Light to you Both. I tell my husband we have something magical with the Love we share. You both seem to share in this magic . Prayers to u Kai o the speediest recovery .
I grew up on the NW side, from generations of Chicagoans, Lithuanian/Irish/German, lived there most of my life, I was a bartender at Tommy’s on Belmont & Tommy’s on Higgins. This guy sounds just like one of the customers, I probably served him a beer or 20. Good times. His accent makes me homesick ❤
Local Chicagoan on the NW side. I can picture all the streets and cross streets he's talking about. Everything i see daily here. Great interview fr this guy gets what goes on here for sure. Chicago we wild and got good food 😅
Chicago, also known for great Italian beef! It’s so weird that other big cities don’t know about this great food! Homemade is even better, sometimes Portillo’s will do! 😃
@@madmagdelena It’s so easy to make! Pot roast, garlic, oregano, beef broth, let it cook all day, hour or 2 before done poor a good size jar of pepperocini drain some liquid out first, red wine vinegar, about a quarter cup. Cook another hour or 2 and get some good bread! I don’t measure mine, just put in what is good for you! Now you won’t have to miss good sandwiches anymore! 😃
That’s not Chicago style Italian beef- That’s American pot roast dressed up!(at best) Try Johnny’s Beef Elmwood Park(a true staple).@@CynthiaGenealogy
so this pos is saying that the guy who stole the bike and tool box and has done other crimes also should not get a long sentence... Why should these animals be able to prey on honest people? why are these criminals allowed to breathe?
This resonates my dad was a criminal lawyer who defended mobsters always said that they call it criminal justice is an oxymoron, as Tommy says it is about number of convictions and not justice.
Hmm.. "The following August, Manning was arrested and placed in the Cook County Jail, where he was assigned to a cell with one Thomas Dye, a notorious con man and jailhouse snitch with a long criminal record, including 10 felony convictions, dating to 1978. Dye had recently been sentenced to 14 years in prison for residential burglary and was awaiting trial in three other felony cases. Dye soon contacted prosecutors and told them that Manning had confessed to the Pellegrino murder. Dye was a known liar and perjurer, so his claim carried little credibility."
When he said "Rush Street...Nortwest Side...White Castle". I instantly thought "Milwaukee & Western" and a split-second later, he said it. We used to stop off there on the way back to EP, because the one at North & Central was a "no-go zone" at 4 in the morning, even in the late 80s.
Coldest 3 days I’ve experienced were a layover in Chicago. Accidentally ended up on the southside at the red line station on 63rd. Minded my own business, didn’t get messed with. Got lucky, helps coming from a rough town in Texas.
He's right about NY and Philly being different than Chicago and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh today everything is legitimate businesses with perks but nothing like the old days
As much as I hate the current prison/justice system and think it is horrific and unfair, his random threats of violence against strangers who don't do what he wants/offend him really undercuts his message.
The joke in the beginning was hilarious 😂
Ended with a good laugh, too. Where do I get my Kye Dye shirt? hehe
"Little bit of a mustache"
lmao
I love Tommy! He is one of my favorite guests. I could literally listen to him all day. The end made me cry. Such a beautiful story.
Love the garden joke!
Oh yeah, that was a good'n!😂
Not totally convinced it was a joke.
@@BAJARALLY it is a joke I've heard it before
it was definitely a joke,I have heard it before. I like that he opened it up like it was a personal story.
He stole it.
Very heartfelt at the end, thank you for sharing with us Tommy ❤
❤❤❤❤❤Joseph Mengel❤❤❤❤❤❤
One if the very few that i enjoy. Thanks for this Mark. And thank you Mr. Dye.
My grandpa was a Chicago cop and eventually detective. Heard a lot of crazy stories about him taking down mobsters and even have old newspaper clippings of him standing around dead bodies and criminals in his long beige trench coat lol Super cool & always loved hearing about it. Absolutely great interview!
3😅😮 33:09
That'd make a good swu episode
Great guest, great storyteller, great video - thanks Mark
Not a great guest at all. He’s a con man, literally a nobody.
great human being, great citizen, such a great life example!
I'm not going to lie you had me crying I never expected to do that today you got me Mark LOL there's nothing as touching as a man showing his heart that's special thanks for that this morning Mark I really needed it
One of the best episodes yet
Love the stories. I am italian. I appreciate this.
this guy is captivating and ive always loved the underworld stories and documentaries.
“You’re a good dude”. That is the one of the greatest compliments of trust for someone Who listens intently and asks very few questions.
So very moving. Thank you, Tommy for doing this interview!
From one end of the human condition to the other. Beautiful interview.
Best so far.... thanks for your content.
Tommy you made a great gesture to do that for your fiancé… I’ll admit it - I shed a tear hearing about the tattoo. 🕊️💙
Amazing interview and so touching.
Great gentleman, speaking the truth of respect. Open doors and say excuse me. Never know who's shoulder you're rubbing.
This is ironic because he was a mobster who literally killed people with no moral compass.
I respect mobsters more than politicians. With the mob, you know what you’re getting. Al Capone bought my grandfather, who sold airplanes, dinner once. That’s more than any politician ever did for him.
@@Toonces666wow you’re thick
@@JohnSmith-wi4xo How dare you speak of the "hero of this video" like that?!?!
@@Toonces666 Me too! I hope your kids turn out to be exactly just like this guy!
I'm not cryin you're cryin! Great interview - gonna go back and watch the first two 👍🏼
Amazing. When someone tells the truth there is no hesitation. thx Mark
I just binge watched the two previous videos ! So glad he came back for more story telling !!
When he got emotional there at the end was pretty incredible, she saved his life and he knows he wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for her,,that's good stuff right there , I love it
Tommy you’re tough. You’re a good man too. Keep leaning towards kindness.
Thanks Mark for another informative and entertaining video. You’re a really good man.
The end of this video was the best part love it love it love it
Another Masterpiece Mark! ❤👍💯
This guest is one of my favorites of all time, hell yea he is a man's man through and through!!!!
Marks ability to get people to continue to share their story is a skill I’d admire to attain
Happy to see this man back hope for more of him in the future!
What Tommy says about your work changing his attitude to those less fortune than himself is spot on. Keep on doing what you are doing you are making a positive difference to the world.
Yeah. There's always some haters down here in the comments but fuck em, Mark does a good job at getting these incredible stories out.
I get a "Tommy Dye" notification, and it put a Smile on my face. Out of prison a better man. Successful. Humbled. The 8 friends that suicided, breaks my heart. I fought tears too about yr end story. Bless you both ♡+♡. 😌🐦🇨🇦

O M G ❤ yessss this was great - love the change of content and how raw this guy was - not even knowing the ENTIRE interview was being tapped! 😂 yes I have tears coming down my face ❤ love your videos ❤
Yes, he is the favourite mobster. Love his interviews! Glad you brought him back!
Dropping names is crazy
He's right about you Mark!! You do give a voice to people who otherwise would not be heard❤
another great interview Mark.
Big mouth, slow hands that's good. 😂😂 Thank you Mark
@@mylifecap they definitely talk that talk slick lingo
I loved hearing his stories.
He could write ✍️ a book....
Amazing interview, thank you.
Awesome joke at the start and a beautiful end, much love to you and K, Tommy!❤
I can listen to Tommy's storys all day.. so cool and interesting
@SoftWhiteUnderbelly, you are carrying on the work of one of the greatest Chicagoans to ever walk those streets, Studs Terkel. I, for one, am very grateful for that.
Thanks Mark.
Yeah, his story at the end...beings tears,..people are complex beings not just good or bad...great human interview!!
Thank you mark that was a wonderful video. ❤😊😊
Well said Mark.....not a dry eye in the house after that one

Thanks for this!
Great stories! And loved the joke about the grandma and tomatoes lol I'm from Chicago, so very interesting to me. I was down near Rush street late 70s early 80s wow. And love watching Chicago PD. My grandfather knew Al Capone, just fyi. Thanks for another great interview❤👍

Amazing interview
OMG, Dennis Farina! I miss him, and I LOVE "Crime Story"!

It would be interesting to talk to the victims of the mob , to much time is spent on the villains
❤ thank you both.
Yes it brought a tear to my eyes❤
Tommy Dye is a masterful storyteller. He seems like a very impressive human being.
That's a great story about his GMA and the FBI....VERY creative
We all love you Tommy, your a good guy :) Thank you gentlemen
Lmao - were you taping this? Fella you're a diamond.
This dude is hands down my favourite interview . He's a proper ruffnut !
Loved this ❤

You prob served me a few times too. Before I ended up at Teasers. 😂😂😂
I like this man. I love how he helped get grammas tomatoes planted too. "God Bless" Tommy
Chicago definitely has its own flavor.
And it causes heartburn!
Local Chicagoan on the NW side. I can picture all the streets and cross streets he's talking about. Everything i see daily here.
Great interview fr this guy gets what goes on here for sure. Chicago we wild and got good food 😅
Me too! NW side Edison Park.
Chicago, also known for great Italian beef! It’s so weird that other big cities don’t know about this great food! Homemade is even better, sometimes Portillo’s will do! 😃
A lot more people will know now that The Bear is on TV and getting such good reviews. Love that show!
This is the only thing I miss about living near chicago
@@madmagdelena It’s so easy to make!

@@CynthiaGenealogy oh mamma mia!!!
That was amazing!
Loved his stories!
Favorite mobster! I did cry!
The end story!!! Oh my heart!
You're the man bro, a combat marine vet here. ❤
love my city. super excited for this one. ❤️
This guys like. "OK so this is what we're talking about".
That garden joke has been around forever, but it’s a good one.
Wow ! That was truly impressive about your love & dedicated to K! I love it !
That ending did have me tear up. I’m like damn it eyes stop that 😩
so this pos is saying that the guy who stole the bike and tool box and has done other crimes also should not get a long sentence... Why should these animals be able to prey on honest people? why are these criminals allowed to breathe?
Love the stories.
I’m crying. You were right
How the hell did you wear a wire for six months, in prison, without a guard ever patting you down or strip searching you and finding it???
Specific days and hours over that time period, probably what he meant.
Frank Calabrese Jr did the same thing.
@@TheNinthHeart yes he did lol. How do you think he got his father on tape?
He didn’t. It’s all lies
Times were very different back then in prisons. Corruption was way worse then it is now. Much less technology and procedures.
Hahaha the tomato story is so mob style , great stuff
This resonates my dad was a criminal lawyer who defended mobsters always said that they call it criminal justice is an oxymoron, as Tommy says it is about number of convictions and not justice.
Thank you Mark!
I could listen to him all day
Lmfao he could’ve left out the part of his gma having a mustache 😆😅💀
I love you Mark. Definitely shed a tear at the end there. Sweet.

lol. 10% truth and 90% fantasy or things he's seen or heard about? He talks so fast.
Mark was right, i cried and im a dude. beautiful dedication to a loved one
When he said "Rush Street...Nortwest Side...White Castle". I instantly thought "Milwaukee & Western" and a split-second later, he said it. We used to stop off there on the way back to EP, because the one at North & Central was a "no-go zone" at 4 in the morning, even in the late 80s.
Coldest 3 days I’ve experienced were a layover in Chicago. Accidentally ended up on the southside at the red line station on 63rd. Minded my own business, didn’t get messed with. Got lucky, helps coming from a rough town in Texas.
You really are a good dude. Not everyone can easily open up to people
He's right about NY and Philly being different than Chicago and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh today everything is legitimate businesses with perks but nothing like the old days
As much as I hate the current prison/justice system and think it is horrific and unfair, his random threats of violence against strangers who don't do what he wants/offend him really undercuts his message.
You've never been a victim. Go through the life changing suffering as one before being so sure the system is flawed.
@@johnnada bold assumption
Wonderful man right there. Thoughtful but tough when he needs to be
You were right…he got me crying at the end 😭
