In this episode of BEHIND THE GANGSTER Anthony Ruggiano Jr. covers more people he knew from the life James Burke aka Jimmy The Gent, American gangster of the Lucchese family. The character Jimmy Conway in Goodfellas was based on Burke and was played by academy award winning acting great Robert Deniro. - Розваги
Thanks for giving a shout out to the band. Seriously, as a musician I would definitely count playing your opening theme as a highlight of my career. Not just that, the fact that you have that kind of respect for the band speaks volumes about your character. Thank you for the quality content. Here's to many years to come!
I personally loved your opening jam.
You guys are awesome… is you stuff on Spotify?
Love the intro
Loved it guys. Not only are you quality musicians, but you all showed great stage presence and looked like you all had fun with it. Do you guys have a UA-cam channel for the band, if so can you post a link here?
Anthony Ruggiano-I want to be a Reformed Asshole just like you
For these mob shows this is definitely hands down the best one. Anthony was really there with heavyweights, has good memory, and tells a great story. You aint gonna get better than that
I love this guy because he doesn't bs. Tells it straight up. Very very rare actually because most of these guys refuse to tell the truth about this stuff
Mr. Ruggiano, having the live version of your opening music was super impressive, they rock, and so do you. I love these kind of videos. May you get 8 Billion subscribers, for that's how many people exist that we know of on earth. I also had word that extraterrestrials are also tuning in. ☮ & ♥
Clearly Anthony is both articulate and intelligent, a very interesting insight! Thank you
I love the intro! Thanks for showing the guys playing it live! Love it. Keep up the good work.
Great thing giving a shout out to the band!
Glad to see all the views you've getting with these long videos they're the best.
Great video brother... Keep them coming!!!
Thanks again for sharing your time and stories with us. Your videos are always interesting. Be well. One day at a time. Blessings to all.
I could listen to him go for days on end. Who would have thought there would be a platform for this in the 70’s. Amazing !
You took the words right outta my mouth, amazing how life can be unpredictable !
Anthony...this stuff is Priceless Bro..
Thanks for everything..
Being a grateful NA member myself
Thank you
Great interview. Ever since watching GoodFellas had an interest in where Jimmy Burke stood. You clear things up quite well. Thanks for the video!
Jimmy Conway was his real name. He changed it to Burke after his foster family.
It's really interesting hearing inside knowledge regarding the real life characters from such an iconic movie.
It's a beautiul thing to let people know there's hope and recovery. That's huge. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing, ray from lindenwood
What a great session boys. Mind blowing
Love the show, respect from Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪
Definitely one of the best mafia related channels on UA-cam!!!!! Keep up the good work
These 2 make a great team. Loved the video.
great video thanks
Great show fellas!!!
GREAT VLOG - love the intro music.
Always fantastic videos
Thank you for these videos. Movies about the life can only give us part of the story but you fill in all the blanks and they're always very interesting. I can listen to you for hours with your down-to-earth approach at telling us how things were
My pleasure!
The Boston College scandal is actually really briefly mentioned twice in the movie, subtle references anyways- at one point all the guys are sitting in the bar before the heist and on the tv is a BC basketball game. And 2nd- right before Maury is killed he mentions “DiNunzio up in Boston”. It’s literally his last words I think.
Insightfully Mind Blowing !
Great video!
nice video wtchen right now god bless be safe have great weekened there!!!!
Love your stories, Anthony, thank you for sharing them with us!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Anthony I love your videos, your a brilliant story teller. James in London
Excellent interview
Great episode!!
Bless you and your family. Peace Brother
Love the intro brother!!!
Brilliant video from a fan in Scotland,I'm also a friend of Bill W.Keep up the good work brother 👍💪🙏💚
Thank you and you too!
Awesome video
Cool band never knew those were the kids laying down the beats for your intro!!⚡⚡⚡
You should do More of these, give the history of some Mobsters maybe you didn’t even know. Your voice and demeanor is like listen to an old Mobster tell the story. Probably because you are one. But it makes the history more entertaining.
I've watched different people's channels and I have to say Anthony is more honest than the others and seems like a person that really made changes. The others are still trying to make money off their past & pushing their products. Anthony is trying to help people. I applaud you
I have watched Micheal, Sammy and the other guys that were in the mob. Mr Anthony is by far the truly honest one...he tells it like it is.
One thing i learned about the mob is -if you were big earner then you would get a pass when you broke the laws of the mob...look at Roy Demeo.
Great show 🍿
Love how you gave the band a platform. God Bless.
Great band intro 🤘🤘
Jimmy’s birth name is actually Conway and I think that’s why they used it in Goodfellas but he was adopted by the Burke family
Wrong
@@braindeadhacker3 No that’s the truth. Jimmy’s birth name on his birth certificates is Conway.What makes you think that it isn’t. You can look it up. It’s not difficult to find
Brilliant podcast i think your insight in LCN is second to none.. salute! from 🇨🇮 my new favorite mob channel top notch 💯
Much appreciated
@@AnthonyRuggiano it's an honour my friend
1 of my older bros middle name is Cole,after Cole Younger. Joe Watts was Welsh German & Italian.
Great video! Love your channel. You tell the best mob stories. You should write a book or better yet do a movie.
Anthony, . . . this was EXCELLENT - loved the extra details on Jimmy Burke. All the best from Louisiana,
Thank you
Anthony. I cleaned a place at JFK. It was called Stair cargo. John Gotti had a time card that one of the employees would punch.
Diggin’the bass man.
The BASS PLAYER LOOKS SUSPIOUSLY LIKE ANTHONY when he was a bit younger.
👀
Appreciate you sir
I appreciate you
That intro music is absolutely incredible 🙌
First of all thank you for acknowledging me on my funny how comment a couple days ago. I respect you immensely I was addicted to cocaine and meth for over 25 years I ditched habit chemicals 5 years ago but my family never wanted me back. That's ok thanks for giving me a reason to live. Gratzi cendon. Bona fortuna forgive my Italian I'm a Mexican national who only speaks english. I'm alone on my own but I have accepted my fate. Respect from Pancho from echo Park Los Angeles❤
The music is great pretty funky.
joe watts is still alive and just got out of prison. you should invite him to the show :)
Nice work Anthony 👍 btw nice win yesterday Cole looked good Judge went deep, good way to start the season..
Please detail any dealings you may have had with Outfit guys or their associates. I heard you mention that your old man informed you about the times when Dellacroce & the rest of the Gambino hierarchy (just below Carlo) would escort Cerone & Willie Messino around NYC. Would love to hear more about that.
Great episode guys... Keep em coming 😎👍
Thank you
Just started watching your videos All very good
Yeh jimmys roberts lounge crew were known for been very wild and disorganised most of them had drink and drugs issues spent most of their time off their heads not just henry.
The Lufthansa robbery reminds me of the plymouth mail robbery in 1962 of 1.5 million. Where the mastermind Red Kelly got the money and everyone else got killed.
Always love the Jimmy Burke stuff. Not alot of info out there about him
Anthony, you got the band on super cool tune
Even though Jimmy, Henry, and Tommy were not made, the movie Goodfellas really gave them notice.
A bit of trivia:
Tommy is related to 2 Los Angeles mob bosses.
His grandfather Rosario DiSimones was boss prior to Jack Dragna, and his uncle Frank DiSimone was boss after Dragna. Frank was also a mob lawyer.
Damn,,,now that's mindblowing after watching BUGSY and GOOODFELLAS back to back.
Jimmy is probably the only non Italian who should have been inducted into the family. He operated as a de facto "Made" man for all intents and purposes. Followed the codes , followed the chain of command, kept omerta.
Your cohost has an accent like the people in the Ohio,Kentucky and West Virginia tristate area
Jimmy was the kinda guy who routed for the bad guys in a movie 🔪
Def
@@elvinkrigsman6956 he worked on their routers. He had a part time job setting up internet for the bad guys.
They did find some bodies in his backyard at his old house.. fbi went through 5 ft of concrete
@@cletusjones9411 Bro you deserve thousands more likes for that reply. 😂
Cool band
@1:50 nice Mason's grip.
I had read somewhere that Jimmy had taken over Billy Bats' shylocking business while Billy was in jail. When he got out of jail he wanted it back so Jimmy was fine with helping kill Billy instead of giving up the business. Seems like Tommy kinda took the fall on that when Jimmy had a lot of motive too. Maybe Jimmy was making a lot of money and Tommy wasn't so he got clipped for it to smooth it over.
There is one interview on UA-cam with Henry Hill's baby sister, and She said Henry Hill had been a Rat ever since she could remember.
I’ve realized the comment box is strictly for comments and not for asking questions. I’ll try Mikey Scars. On RJ’s show he answers questions. I still like this show and will stay subscribed… but I will refrain from asking questions. Good show on Burke. He’s not covered in depth enough. Jimmy was as much a part of LCN as any UN-made Sicilian or Italian… and his daughter married a made guy, as I’m sure you know. There’s a huge interest in Burke and we’ve tired of hearing the same shallow info about Jimmy repeated over and over.
His family members would never start platforms on UA-cam. You know them well and that they are very private. All we have are the people who’d known him. Such as Anthony Jr.
I love the Fat Andy Stories.Anthony Jr is my favorite content creator. Fat Andy, to me, was the epitome of LCN. He’s my favorite of all in the life. Not a big fan of Gravano, Calandra, Alite, etc. I like that Anthony is clean and sober, as I am. So, I trust his sincerity more than others. He’s very funny as well and has a great mischievous grin! Terrific!
Hey ask away. I’m one guy sometimes I miss him a few
@@AnthonyRuggiano Hey Anthony! Thank you!! I’m about to subscribe to your Patreon. I’m not going to pepper you with dozens of questions.
I’m just going to mention people I find interesting and maybe you can bring them up in your future anecdotes. You have cleared so many things up for me on your platform.
I’d like to
Anthony Stabile. Also, a quick in-depth account of your dad’s buddy Irish Augie.
Did you ever know Michael “Spider” Gianco?
Did you like Huck Carbonaro.
Eddie Boyle
Dom Cataldo and his partner in crime Jackie Donnelly.
Any stories about John “Red” Collins who was a Trickster who did things with Sally Ubatz, DeSimone, Jerothe.
Joey O’Kane. Stevie Newell. In depth account of Joe Sullivan. Thank you again, Anthony.
"Don’t believe the hype. There are more tough guys that can't get made than there are made guys. The saying goes: we do the work; they take the credit."
- Stevie Newell former Gambino Associate
Funky I like it.
I hung out with Stabile’s son one time. Nice kid
Great show Anthony 👏
I really enjoy your content. I was wondering if you were friendly with John Pennissi
I listen to both of you and there must be a reason either of you Haven't mentioned each other. Any chance of a collaboration?
Thank you fir tuning in. Don’t know him
@@AnthonyRuggiano I’d love to hear you and Pennisi compare notes because you both covered the same proximity but different generations.
Paul u think your John Gotti Sr.. you could have never been a gangster!! Believe me not even close stick to construction 🏗️🚧 u puke!!! 💯🤬😤🤨
How do you help with recovery ? Just wondering.
Much respect to burke serious ass dude n had Irish blood say that cause I'm Irish. We don't play either lol enough said.
Whole nation full of Jimmy Burke's alright
More cowbell need more cowbell
Your the most under-rated youtube channel when it comes to this genre. Good stuff
Hello
Does Anthony reply to fans???
An't
Think Back You remember back in the 80 82 .when John had two burlap Bags of aspargrass He Got from a long haul truck Driver from down at the market hunts point titan Produce ?? . The was the First time . I Met John and I think Angie .
Where's Tommy Flash? Not been on for a while.
Robert De Niro played the Mr Rogers version of Jimmy Burke or the movie would of been two frames long.
Jimmy got a pass because he was a good earner. Why kill the goose that lays the golden egg?
It is not a rewarding life, and if pulled to that life I understand, but it will hurt you in the end
And anyone wants to live that life?
Great video! Jimmy burke is so interesting in the history of Cosa nostra . I always heard that tommy was hooking up or trying to with foxys sister. God bless brother
Ok, which is it ? DeSimone killed Foxy because Foxy slept with DeSimone's wife or Foxy was going to kill DeSimone because DeSimone was involved with Foxy's sister. Same guy, two different stories.
Im always fascinated by how non full bloodied Italians such as Joe Watts and Jimmy Burke can climb the ranks of LCN…. Wondering if they are excluded from certain things (other than the making ceremony) - Every non Italian in that position must be very capable i’m guessing.
Jimmy was more powerful than many capos.
How close was Jimmy, Henry and Tommy? Or was that just Hollywood
Jimmy was apparently closer with Tommy than he was his own kids. Seems like they bonded by being sociopaths. That was pretty accurate. Henry was really close with Jimmy as well.
Henry and Tommy weren’t as close as shown in the movie though. Henry would mostly hang with Paul Vario’s son. The double date with Karen was with Paul Vario’s son, not Tommy. I think Henry was scared of Tommy
Conway was his real last name
Correct me if I’m wrong but- I’m pretty sure as a kid he was later adopted by a really great family after he ran away from the family that abused him. It may have not been a legal adoption but I’m almost positive this wealthy family tried to help him out as best they could but he was already like 16-18 years old so the damage was already done and Jimmy wasn’t planning on staying with them much longer. But he really enjoyed staying with them but by then he was already getting into trouble legally and on the streets.
Yes but they weren’t wealthy the lived in Rockaway. Jimmy would stake them with cash when he was flush for the rest of his life.
That is true and the only people Jimmy probably cared about in his life
Why don't you do a show about Henry Hill I'm sure you knew who he was
Anthony - did you know Sally Ubatz? I guess he was an associate of the Columbo family, he worked under little Dom Cataldo, he was tight with John Gotti and his crew.
Yes talking about your ? Now on patreon
NICE GREAT STUFF YA JIMMY WAS BAD DUDE
I saw another UA-cam video in which they stated that Jimmy's surname 'Conway' was his Mother's surname and he only changed to Burke because he eventually found a foster family that treated him well. One other thing, and I don't mean no disrespect, but that shirt you're wearing Mr Ruggiano makes you look like an Imperial Officer from Star Wars. Italy is the birth place of fashion (no matter what the French say!) So, you're definitely going to look good in a suit with a shirt. Maybe leave the jacket off if the studio is a bit warm.
Anyone else feel like Anthony doesn’t know much that wasn’t in the movie? Haha Like he grew up in the area, but he seems to know everything 3rd hand. Anyway, fun stories I guess.
Used to live in Springfield. I went to treatment with a dude who had no idea that was penitentery and tried to take a short cut across that big ass field in front. The were ON his ass quick. I thought it was funny shit. My buddy takes AA meetings in there.
We should be glad Jimmy got locked up because if he was around he would probably put a hit out on Hollywood Wades barber , sheeeeesh lol 😂
