Anthony, I think that this is the most important piece of mob content on UA-cam. There are no good guys and no bad guys in the mob, it was all bad and you were all going to go down eventually. You all lied, killed, cheated and stole to make a living. Seeing all these former mob guys in their 60's and 70's acting like school girls is pathetic.
Ruge - you are hands down the most honest ex-wise guy doing these videos. You blow them all away. (Not literally!) Much respect, and best wishes for 2024.
You and Franzese contents are way above all other mob stuff in here! Why? Because it really comes through that you both are not only the real deal, but also tells real stories!(and that is rare in here by all those so called “tough guys” in here) Keep it up and I may even have to join your patreon site! Great work mr!
There's something about pure unadulterated honesty that is just beautiful and it resonates in your soul. Thank you sir for Wisdom 💯 speak truth to power.
Being contrite about your past makes your detractors aware of their shortcomings. You being contrite about your past is why your life story is compelling to me.
I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and your accountability journey! Ive been a multi year listener, going through a massive accountability phase myself, and youve been a pivotal part in helping me grow. Many thanks and good wishes to you sir! Merry Christmas!
Anthony you're the best in your genre hands down. Seriously I know a lot of people out there just talk but you're so honest and so true with everything you say really enjoy your videos
Merry Christmas Sir, thank you for sharing your life with us. You have helped more people than you know. Your father is probably very proud of you for helping and inspiring people you will never know. Keep up the good work and at the end your father will be waiting with a hug and three back pats for you.
What a great one, Anthony!! You are a class act! You just “get it!” You tell great stories and it’s interesting to hear your thought process and I agree with you 100%. I know this wasn’t just about Joey, but I will say that his comments about Sonny Franzese are absolutely ridiculous! The guy was 100 years old +. He didn’t even know who his son, John, was when John went to see him. You’re right. I can’t stand to listen to these guys who are full of shit. Joey is on UA-cam talking about his life in the mob. He is breaking his vow there. Lots of guys got passes but Joey doesn’t give Sonny a pass at 103 years old? Laughable. I liked his show before this but now I won’t watch it bc it’s bull shit.
good deeds can make amends for alot of things in life.at any time we can turn this ship around!!??best to you anthony in the coming new year.thanks for your inspiring story.always look forward to hearing from you.
Anthony, your Father is not mad at you. In fact i believe he is with you and his love oresently is greater than the time he spent on this Earth. He is at oeace with you and the man you have become
At the end of the day, as a man, you put yourself in prison. Thats the risk you take, except you don’t realize it at the time. Anthony, why is this the first time hearing that story!? Honestly though I appreciate your transparency, I didn’t grow up in your neighborhood, but a similar one, if you know/knew these guys, their really not good people, everyone stays away from them, unless they need a favor. Don’t buy the hype, Anthony is definitely one of the way better guys out there and you can tell he realizes the mistakes and authenticly trying to change!
Hi Anthony hope you are well just to say your keeping your father's memory alive along with Tony Lee and so many others by telling the stories about there life memories that nobody else has keep it up merry Christmas to you geordie
Too many guys lack accountability today. My last case ever (God Willing) in '16... my Co- Defendant was my fiance's brother. He put the whole case on me before we even reached the precinct. My soon to be brother-in-law with the huge "LOYALTY" tattoo on his forearm was gonna send me on a ride back downstate. In the street life loyalty is just a cool tattoo when the indictments start coming down.
Anthony, I’ve grown to really like and respect you. Only thing I can’t get over is your friendship with Sammy. He’s done none of the reforming you have done. He still thinks he’s the underboss. He laughs at the murderers he committed. He blatantly says he would still do them. I don’t care about cooperating, but he has zero remorse or self reflection. He’s simply the worst ever. You don’t need a character like that. You’re Fat Andy’s son! Sammy couldn’t shine his shoes. Keep up the good content. I’m learning a lot.
Anthony first off hope you had a Very Merry Christmas. Love the show love the Honesty in this video. I grew up in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. You know all to well Bensonhurst, Howard Beach how easy it was to get caught up on that life. Nobody out of state would understand. You had 13th Ave, 18th 20th Bath Avenue etc. Was I young and dumb? Absolutely no alter boy here. But I knew it would lead to "Death, Jail, or Institutions." You said nobody put you on Jail but you. What "My Dog Made me do it" Great Clip Anthony 👍 👌 🤝
Merry Christmas Anthony. I don’t believe you’re father is upset with you,on the contrary I believe you’re father is proud of you because you have and are doing really good and in The Afterlife they only see and know The Truth and Reality. Hopefully that makes sense to you. God Bless and Happy Holidays. Peace 🙏🏼
Anthony I enjoy listening to you talk so much you lived a very eventful life and what your doing now is unbelievable I have listened to a lot of your podcasts James English one just recently and your story is amazing I wish you good health and I would love for you to come to England to do some talks
If your father was a good father in any way, that part of him would be proud of you for leaving, and would be happy his son decided to become a better man than him. No disappointed part of him would be a part worth listening to. If he made it to heaven he would be cleansed of his nasty stuff anyway. He would be proud.
I truely believe that sure ur dad would have been mad in this life. But from everything I’ve ever heard or read about the afterlife ppl who pass see there lives and what they did to others threw that persons eyes what they themselves did and ways they hurt others. So I believe now with ur dad being in the after life he understands what u did and is not disappointed in u. He loves u purely and wants nothing for u but happiness and love. Merry Xmas.
Anthony you could make a fortune doing tours of new york like Frank Cullota used to do in vegas . even if you flew up to new york once a month for 3 or 4 days. you could get a big bus with a driver and tour the town and go to sparks to eat.
You forgave your mother for being cold, because she was young, pregnant and married to a mobster who kills, but you were raised and shown the life by that same mobster. You say your father would be mad at you, but if anything you should be mad at him, and you didn't want to die in prison like him? Maybe forgive him too for getting you into this life, but I don't understand feeling bad about disappointing him. You owe him nothing
I concur... Gigante, despite also taking a dig at Gotti, was also speaking the truth whenever he said Junior Gotti getting straightened out was "too bad." And even Gotti preferred Junior try to get into West Point before he preferred he get mobbed up too! Forgive your Pop, cuz he loved you very much, & forgive yourself. You deserve it.👍🏽
I agree 100%!! When I look back in my life and running around the streets, I use to hate rats and was taught to hate them. But as I grew up, I realize exactly what you said Anthony. We have to take accountability for our own actions and decisions we make in life. Thank you 🙏🏽
Anthony were you aware state barricade Loue is now doing life for killing his wife . He lost his dad’s business someone else is running it he lost custody of his kids . He was doing drugs with his wife and over drugs he ended up shooting her and everyone is to blame but him
One day when I realize that society exists merely to manipulate into serving my ends I’ll be the one giving out turkeys and bicycles to the poor families of South Philly.

the government is worse they do the same thing....at least the mob didnt hide who they were
Ruge - you are hands down the most honest ex-wise guy doing these videos. You blow them all away. (Not literally!) Much respect, and best wishes for 2024.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 2023 TAKE CARE ANTHONY
Your history in Cosa nostra is incredible,happy Christmas mate👍😊.
You and Franzese contents are way above all other mob stuff in here!
Why? Because it really comes through that you both are not only the real deal, but also tells real stories!(and that is rare in here by all those so called “tough guys” in here)
Keep it up and I may even have to join your patreon site!
Great work mr!
Well said Anthony. One of the few truthful ones. Everybody can change. Put your work in. Merry Christmas everyone.
Good morning Anthony, God bless you brother keep helping the addicted
Great to hear somebody speak so honestly, Merry Christmas Anthony
I doubt your father is mad at you. He looks down and his heart is light because his son found his own way to the truth. God bless you Anthony.
Im glad you addressed the joey comments, thanks we really appreciate your opinion on mafia things
There's something about pure unadulterated honesty that is just beautiful and it resonates in your soul. Thank you sir for Wisdom 💯 speak truth to power.
Great channel 💯
Really excellent video, Anthony. I appreciate the honesty about your life. Your breakdown of Philly in your era was interesting.
I truly appreciate your honesty that’s why I constantly listen to your channel keep up the good work! Merry Christmas Anthony🎉
I had the same issues with my father, at first Idolize then demonize and in order to let go of resentment we have to humanise
My opinion is when we pass on we leave all our Earthly ways behind. Your father is very proud of you Anthony.
Our Soul is the only thing that really matters.
If he did make it thru the pearly gates, he is definitely proud
Good advice. I also keep a journal. Cheers from England.
Merry Christmas Anthony to You and Your Family !! Anthony, you reformed and live a different life and that's what count's. God Bless You !! 🙏🙏
Your cellemate was 100% correct!!!
I agree with your commentary Anthony!!👍🏻
Another excellent video, Anthony! Keep doing what you’re doing and speaking the truth.
Being contrite about your past makes your detractors aware of their shortcomings. You being contrite about your past is why your life story is compelling to me.
Thanks for keeping it real bruv. Been some inspiration. Lost count of days but been clean since june 10th this year.
I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and your accountability journey! Ive been a multi year listener, going through a massive accountability phase myself, and youve been a pivotal part in helping me grow. Many thanks and good wishes to you sir! Merry Christmas!

If you are honest and take a personal inventory you will see you part in any and everything
This is a good one, my friend..
Too many guys lack accountability today. My last case ever (God Willing) in '16... my Co- Defendant was my fiance's brother. He put the whole case on me before we even reached the precinct. My soon to be brother-in-law with the huge "LOYALTY" tattoo on his forearm was gonna send me on a ride back downstate. In the street life loyalty is just a cool tattoo when the indictments start coming down.
Mr. Ruggiano another great episode like always.. I've been wondering if your dad or gotti ever gave you the nod on a piece of work
Anthony, I’ve grown to really like and respect you. Only thing I can’t get over is your friendship with Sammy. He’s done none of the reforming you have done. He still thinks he’s the underboss. He laughs at the murderers he committed. He blatantly says he would still do them. I don’t care about cooperating, but he has zero remorse or self reflection. He’s simply the worst ever.

Realizing that your plight in life was your doing must have been incredibly difficult. Not many people get to that point.
By the Way Happy Holidays..Merry Christmas
Buon Natale Anthony!!
Another great video Anthony I hope you and your family have a great Christmas. From Joe in New Zealand 🇳🇿 🇺🇸 🇮🇹
U likes mi cack
great video watchen right now have great weekened there happy holidays there keep doing good things
Don't sell yourself short. You would have been charitable if you weren't making bank off them, too. It's an Italian thing.
Merry Christmas Anthony. I don’t believe you’re father is upset with you,on the contrary I believe you’re father is proud of you because you have and are doing really good and in The Afterlife they only see and know The Truth and Reality.

Thank you 🙏 just need someone over there to help coordinate things

Talk about the Biondo's. Joseph, Drew,Vincent
Anthony you could make a fortune doing tours of new york like Frank Cullota used to do in vegas . even if you flew up to new york once a month for 3 or 4 days. you could get a big bus with a driver and tour the town and go to sparks to eat.
Anthony, were you with the Gambino family?
Great video! How do you look so young? I’m decades younger and have grayer hair!!
Who was Freddy no nose and fat Andy's bro mo black who was the crew of fat andy
You forgave your mother for being cold, because she was young, pregnant and married to a mobster who kills, but you were raised and shown the life by that same mobster. You say your father would be mad at you, but if anything you should be mad at him, and you didn't want to die in prison like him? Maybe forgive him too for getting you into this life, but I don't understand feeling bad about disappointing him. You owe him nothing
Well said!!!
Well said
I concur... Gigante, despite also taking a dig at Gotti, was also speaking the truth whenever he said Junior Gotti getting straightened out was "too bad." And even Gotti preferred Junior try to get into West Point before he preferred he get mobbed up too! Forgive your Pop, cuz he loved you very much, & forgive yourself. You deserve it.👍🏽
True blue blood lineage...
I gave the 100 comment !
Anthony where did you live in Brooklyn
I agree 100%!! When I look back in my life and running around the streets, I use to hate rats and was taught to hate them. But as I grew up, I realize exactly what you said Anthony. We have to take accountability for our own actions and decisions we make in life. Thank you 🙏🏽
I took an inventory of myself in prison 🙏
wish we could get a free turkey anthony!!ha ha!!
I Just seen get Gotti 1 from 94 . And you can say it was made for the Screen thats For sure . . Hope Tour christmas was a Good one .
AR is the most genuine former gangster on social media
🐾
Anthony were you aware state barricade Loue is now doing life for killing his wife . He lost his dad’s business someone else is running it he lost custody of his kids . He was doing drugs with his wife and over drugs he ended up shooting her and everyone is to blame but him
😊
Joey's a great guy . He got my kid a bike. Really a true man of his words. Wish you did the same. Santa
So the good outweighs the bad. Some people didn’t get a bicycle they got a bullet instead
One day when I realize that society exists merely to manipulate into serving my ends I’ll be the one giving out turkeys and bicycles to the poor families of South Philly.
