Johnny I’ve been listening to your stories since the beginning, this has to be one of my favorites I think I’ve replayed it 4-5 times. Would love another Johnny Santore story , hope all is well pal
Of all the guys on UA-cam telling mob stories you are the most composed and well spoken you come off as a gentleman.I enjoy watching your videos and wish you luck in your new endeavor.keep um coming John !!
Couldn't agree more... John has amazing content that you just can't get from all the others that are out there... Always something new and the life lessons that he shares are heart felt and he's always a gentleman... Thank you John and stay safe and healthy...ciao for now
John buddy im sorry for your loss man, i know he was a Mentor and like a father figure to you and i can tell bye the way you talk about him that he was very dear to you and im sure he's proud of the man you turned out to be regardless if your still in the life or Not. Thanks for sharing that part of your life , God Blessed
Hey just subscribed to the channel and I can't stop watching these videos. Me and the guys on my construction crew listen to these on the speaker while working away. Thanks for keeping us entertained while we're on the work grind
Thank you for sharing a very personal relationship you had with dear friend, mentor, guidance counselor. It's obvious you have a lot of respect & love for him. Excellent episode
I really appreciate you sharing these stories, particularly this one as it couldn’t of been easy bringing up old emotions. It’s fascinating and thought provoking so thank you again for sharing.
Hey Johnny dont fret about the UA gear man. I was just a regular guy once myself who thought a shirt was just a shirt until I bought my first under armor Tshirt. They make one of the most comfortable tshirts a man could wear and they resist fading so well compared to other brands. I went from having no Under Armor tshirts to having a closet with over 45 under armor shirts of all colors and designs as well as a dozen or more of their polos. My wife calls me under armor man 😄
I very much enjoyed this story John, it’s one of my favorites…thank you for sharing. I can tell you really loved John and I’m sorry you didn’t get to say goodbye to him in a proper way. But glad he went peacefully and not violently and went out with a smile on his face.
I think you’re story’s are like Listening to A Washwoman you’re like a real woman and a Bingo Game there is other words to describe you in Jewish or Italian and I think you probably know what they are of course you do because you are a bullshit artist most of everything you talk about of people who probably wouldn’t even stand next to you or you would even be allowed to associate with them. I know many people like you. You were just a leech and a hanger on her you may say you were a maid man, but you were never a big Earner for the family or for your family I know people who were in some of the same. Circles with people that you were involved with but not in a wiseguy capacity people such as restaurant owners, waiters and people that worked in some bars that you hung around in also in Staten Island you talk about a cigar business called the vault. Well I heard about that place also and I know some people that has a locker in there with their cigars, and you were never a major presence, with some of the people that were a major presence what you gain by telling your stories are really not important and for the most part they are hearsay you talk about major guys like gas pipe, and Vic from what I heard you had nothing to do with them. You may have been in their family, but you were very very small potatoes you also add to the family at a time when I think they were most from what I understand with broken and they were making associates just to keep some funds coming in. and from what I’ve been told all you did was run around and talk like you were somebody you aren’t and you never had any kind of big earnings all little small cons trying to get involved in anything that you can to make a dollar but nothing ever came to fruition. except some small scores. I don’t understand why people if there is a lot even listen to you and guys like Jimmy Calandria. you guys talk about stuff like you are some kind of a big deal but actually you were nothing but the way you tell your stories you sound like an old Jewish woman it’s actually funny to listen to you for a little bit less than a minute or two.I am not even going to call you a. C .I . Or a stool pigeon because you never really had anything big against some major players. That’s how low down the totem pole you are you are not important at all from what I understand is you are more a coward because you thought that might be an attempt on some people trying to hurt you, or you got pinched for some low level crime and you want to save yourself. I. That’s all water under the bridge now but what I don’t understand is what you get out of going on UA-cam and talking about things of people or trying to be something that you were not why would anybody listen to you? I don’t know. But that’s is UTube In today’s world may be people that live out in cornfields or in the sticks might find you interesting but I know the people that live in the five boroughs actually laugh I’m not judging you I’m just trying to figure out why you and people like Jimmy, or even Gene Borriello, and that other idiot John a liar, The Guy that says he was John Gotti personal hitman, which is a joke. I think you, Jimmy, Calandria and Jean and John and all of you all the jokesters. I’ll try to gain some core notoriety for yourself because you couldn’t do it in the real underworld that’s your business but I just wanna let your followers know, whether they like your bullshit stories or not all these so-called want to be gangsters that are on UA-cam all right bunch of morons, so good luck with your channel and I hope the best for you and all your associates on UA-cam your criminal UA-cam organized family of bullshit artist who are enjoying your non-gangster publicity inside of your own little minds but it’s very funny one someone like me that grew up and two of the five boroughs and read and heard it, and sometimes knew some people in different neighborhoods that we’re associated with a real man of on the street. Me personally I never knew of any so-called gangsters but I did live in Brooklyn Staten Island, my whole life it’s just funny to me to see you guys put yourself out there or if that’s your thing and it makes you feel good. God bless you, but I’m sure and I heard from a lot of people that live in the city they laugh really hard, listening to you and the other Clowns. With that being said, I would like to hear the story of when you hijack a tractor trailer, load of turkeys and toys and champagne for the holidays. Thank you for your comical old lady bingo stories
Hey bro I love your videos. Not just the mob stories themselves which are fucking great but the way you descrive the surroundings, the buildings and the strets and shit. Its almost like im strolling there. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing something really close to you I know it’s not easy putting yourself out there I think people forget even if you are a killer or just done some bad shit in you’re life you’re still human. RIP & much respect to John
Thank you SitdownNews for such a Heart ❤ Felt story such as "This" about your Mentor and Friend John Santore... "The Ultimate Gangster"... Bless you😌...Heart Felt Indeed ❤🎇
John, I watch your podcasts on UA-cam on my Smart TV and not online, hence the reason I do not comment on here often and will comment on I.G. However I felt the need to post this as I had commented on here on Part #3 about your friend Johnny. It had to be extremely difficult to write about a man you had so much love and admiration for. I just wanted you to know that I think you did a phenomenal job telling his story and paid great homage to your friend. May God rest his soul. Stay safe and God Bless !!! Have a great week !!!
New Subscriber! I plan on going back and watching every video, but I wanted you to know that I was referred by Gunner and his channel. Great content you have, and you sound very humble. Thank you for sharing your life with me and everyone else. Peace
I came across you on Gunners channel John . I have subscribed to your channel too now . I really like your life story's and the way you tell them . Respect to you bro , i wish you all the best .
John, I really enjoy your intriguing stories. You are extremely well spoken and full of respect. I was telling my girl the other day about the good ole Sega Genesis days back in the 80s since she wasn’t around. * Sister Sledge
Great tribute to Johnny Santore, John. This man didn't try to use, abuse or bamboozle you. He loved you like a son and only wanted the best for you. I think he'd be very pleased you finally took his advice. :o)
I've not long got into your blogs I normally whach Sammy the bulls. But I'm definitely interested in the story's you talk about.. keep it coming. From Newcastle England.
The shirt is a winner now a Nice Monte with a Maitai and it would be complete. Lol. Now a days you can't find your friends to help with a pack of gum if your away guy's like your friend have gone into the sunset! Great tribute and your emotions for him make you more of a man. 🍷A Salute to his memory.
Hey man your stories are A grade! You are a super interesting guy. Do you have a book? I know you have this channel and your other and a blog. You gotta write a book man. I have watched a few of your videos I just found you today but I'm already fascinated. I like and subed all that. Thanks for the stories keep em coming!
I call him the mellow mobster.lol. I LOVE the stories and the names Tommy sneakers and Johnny sideburns, blaze carozzo.They come up with some great nicknames. Gotta love the mobsters. Stay safe everyone
You are right the nicknames are always good for a laugh! Just as a FYI Blaise is actually his real name Blaise Corozzo. And Tommy sneakers had a 2nd one that was Tommy Twitch cuz he had a facial tick…. But always love a good mob name
John, can not only hear the pain, but you also can see the pain in your face when you talk of your friend. You seem to have Alot of regret...So glad you turned your life around. Keep doing what your doing It will all pay off in the end...Enjoyed the show.. I subscribed...
@@Sitdownnews They are both named Paulie G. They are both tough guys who were always around the boss. They were both sharp dressers. They were both thieves.
John.. the more I listen to your stories it really reminds me of myself.. some of the toughest men I knew growing up and in young adult hood were very honorable and loyal. What really is a testament to you is they don't have to buy it's you that they trusted and found loyalty back.. nice story and sorry about John.
It would be good to see you do a sit down with an older mobster and to compare the difference between the likes of the 2000s to the 70s -90s and how the life as a made member changed
Hi John. I enjoy your videos very much. Your stories are quite fascinating. Being that you grew up in the Howard Beach area of Queens, you know quite a bit about the Gottis. When Paul Castellano was hit back in 1985, what was the reaction among rank-and-file wiseguys on the street, to the best of your recollection?
@@Sitdownnews Fair enough. Incidentally, did you ever have the opportunity to dine at the Parkside Restaurant in Corona? It's arguably the best Italian restaurant in all of Queens.
Nice shirt....makes a change from under armour....u need a sponsorship from them, great video as always you're gunna blow up like sammy as you're more likeable and seem more genuine
Great story, John. If you do another Q&A maybe you could talk more about Ciro Perrone and his son Jimmy. Sorry for your loss. I used to go to the Crossbay diner. The one that was just south of the Liberty Ave El. I knew of another diner across from The Surfside three or Russo's on the bay. Dont remember which one was the Fountain Diner.
@@Sitdownnews yes just off the corner of Liberty and Crossbay. it was the Esquire. I used to go there. I left in 1990 to NJ. I''m in my 60's. Thanks for chatting. From your pictures I see you were on the block of Shembri's market 91st and 101st ave. My father used to go there for fruits and he went across 101 st ave between 89th-90st for bread. I remember we used to have to go in the back alley of the store. Lot of memories for me over there. I'm glad you're out of the life, but I love the stories.
I can listen to john talk about johnny santore all day! Sounded like a beautiful guy, in that life or not. And love hearing the macho tough guy stories about him. Great job john! Ur storytelling is really amazing brother.
Beautiful story john , like i said i even have my wife listening ! You had her in tears and me almost too. God bless you and iam sure john wld be very proud and happy for you. ❤️🙏🏼
First .. my sincere condolences.. not many people like that .. that we just have that connection with who comes into our lives and becomes closer than actual blood . A bond that is made and when taken away really tears you apart ! " The evil men do .. lives after them .. The good is oft interred with their bones " SHAKESPEARE.. Way to keep the good about John remembered !! Quick question.. Your friend that you had that horrible situation with .. Did he ever make parole earlier than you ? I know you caught short end of stick but did things work out differently for him .. time wise ? Just curious and thanks for sharing !! #StandUpGuy #ChicagoSicilian #KeepHustlin
You seem to be a very humble dude with quite some history I think that’s pretty interesting I’ll be watching bro keep up the good work tell it like it is
Johnny I’ve been listening to your stories since the beginning, this has to be one of my favorites I think I’ve replayed it 4-5 times. Would love another Johnny Santore story , hope all is well pal

Very professional, informative, not a channel for fanboys
I certainly could feel your love and respect for your friend, you did him justice and did so with all heart, I know that it wasnt easy for you.
Thank you

I like the shirt, John. We’ve gotten so accustomed to the Under Armor I was thrown off at first 😂
Johns on vacation mode. When you see him in the under armour it’s all business

LoL
Underamor....tell me about it...

I'm liking your stories...I am a Gambino fan so I enjoy alot of these

When Paul Castellano was hit back in 1985, what was the reaction among rank-and-file wiseguys on the street, to the best of your recollection?

Another great story john. You should do more like these. I look forward to your videos. Every time I open UA-cam I’m hoping you posted a new video. 👍🏻

What dud your guys hear about the reputation of the Chicago Outfit, if any
Great story John , never forget your friend, sounds like you hold nothing but good memories, of John 🍷💯
Thank you

Would be interesting to know who prepared John for the life. Who was his mentor?
Beautiful story john , like i said i even have my wife listening ! You had her in tears and me almost too. God bless you and iam sure john wld be very proud and happy for you. ❤️🙏🏼

This was great. And I love that you keep away from drama that others try and bring on the internet. Thanks for the vids/podcasts.

Nothing like Italiao American accent telling stories like this. Top shelf

First .. my sincere condolences.. not many people like that .. that we just have that connection with who comes into our lives and becomes closer than actual blood . A bond that is made and when taken away really tears you apart ! " The evil men do .. lives after them .. The good is oft interred with their bones " SHAKESPEARE.. Way to keep the good about John remembered !! Quick question.. Your friend that you had that horrible situation with .. Did he ever make parole earlier than you ? I know you caught short end of stick but did things work out differently for him .. time wise ? Just curious and thanks for sharing !! #StandUpGuy #ChicagoSicilian #KeepHustlin
Can clarify the johns what John your talking about at the end of the video
