I absolutely love this story Anthony. Guaranteed if your Dad was on the street, none of this would of happened. While you were telling this story about Richie Gotti, I could see the anger building up in you. Thank you for always keeping it real. Can’t wait for the next story. Happy Memorial Day Weekend.
Love the old school stories! I grew up in a rough neighborhood in East San José California and my uncles were reformed gangsters as well grew up, listening to all the war stories and loved it. They have both passed now however, I love listening to these old war stories. Thanks a lot Anthony for the little entertainment. Also, there’s a saying ….”try Walking in my shoes that you will stumble in my footsteps” for those who have something to say about your decision. Have a great weekend.
Don’t let anybody’s comments get to you. Those negative people will never understand what you went experienced. Stay strong!! Love watching your videos.
If there is anybody online that was in the mob, you are the most enjoyable to watch. Your sincerity is obvious. I think your personality is great as the message.
Anyone that I've ever seen talk about Ritchie Gotti all say he wasn't too Brite and lived off of John and Genes name and shouldnt have been a wise guy.
Thanks for having your channel! I follow about 5 mob podcasts and I wait to get notified to watch yours 1st. I love the OZ stories and the people you mention, considering I used to live there. Continue your channel🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great story... I'm glad it was longer then most...I always leave your videos wishing they were longer... This ALMOST satisfied me .. Great job.. PLEASE keep it up
Anthony your Dad is not mad at you He is proud of you and he actually doesn't want you to be mad at him anymore❤️ I hope you consider having Sal Polosi and Mikey Scarson. God bless you and the work you do
Not True, if you know and understand those guys from that generation from the 30s and 40s who truly believed in the life, such as fat andy and neil dellacroce, they would clip you in a heartbeat for talking. Doesn’t matter who you were, son brother nephew
That wasn't DB who didn't show. It was DiBono. DB got clipped becauwe Angie told John that DB was talking behind Johns back which seemed to be untrue because Angie took a 200grand loan fro DB.
Ok, from the perspective of a friend, you rock, sir. I've been around for awhile. I was readin' up what I could find on goodfellas' since around 1980. I've watched many documentaries as well, long before there was the internet. Since it's advent, of course, I've also seen a load of UA-cam videos. IMO, Michael Franzese's show is the gold standard. Classy guy, classy show, done with respect and passion. You are right up there, because, you are straight up. No perpetrating. Awesome! You talk respectfully and show a lot of class by keepin your head up. Well done, my man, stay after it!
The thing I like about your channel is you describe what it's like to have been that kind of gangster on a day-to-day level, and if you're not a captain or above, nothing is given to you; you have to eat based on the fish you catch. It's also nice to get that other point of view about the Gambino family. You can straighten it out if I'm wrong, but I think JG killing DB shook up a lot of people who felt like John wanted what DB had, and DB wasn't wrong to be a little afraid of JG. Looking forward to more of your stories, and your sub numbers getting higher.
I’m a new subscriber I love listening to mob talk. I not mad at you for cooperating. Nobody can judge another mans choices who hasn’t walked his path or been in his shoes. I’m black but I love italian culture and mob stuff. I was in federal prison too. And I missed my kids early years and that’s painful, I never judged ppl and I understand every case is different, and my motto was this.. there are 2 types of ppl in federal prison.. those who told, those who wish they told, and the only reason some ppl ain’t cooperate is because they didn’t have the opportunity to, or they wanted to but they worried what ppl would think.. but those who do are actually brave.. because to be ostracized is a sad feeling.. anyways keep doing ur videos, thanks for the gotti story
Everyone is a product of their environment growing up. It's hard to escape that. You , Michael, Sammy, and others are fortunate to have turned your lives around. People that call you a rat are cowards who would have done the same thing had they been in your shoes staring at life in prison. Great show.
Myron Sugarman was around my friends.. he was close with Louis Streaky Gatto a captain in the Genovese from NJ , he was also close with Jerry Catena , Abe Longie Zwillman and Richie the Boot Boiardo
I think u r talking about my stepdad Mike “Novel” Balzano. Mike had Novel Vending on pinball row and used to sell 8 lines and pokers to the street. Mike passed away a few years ago
Michael spoke recently, in one of his videos, about the UA-cam wiseguys having a sitdown on UA-cam. You were mentioned, Antonio, and it will be epic if you and Michael, and other wiseguys make the sitdown happen. Salud🍷
I Watch a lot of Mobtube and you hear the same old stories over and over again but the last one about Ritchie Gotti and the joker pokers was easily one of the best stories ever told. We need way more of those. You don’t hear about those petty beef and squabbles enough!
There is no point in having regret for ratting; it is what it is, and no point in making excuses! The main thing is now you get your story out there to prevent the younger generation from getting involved in a life with no future! Whether people like it or not, Gotti and others are a part of New York's history, and it is good to hear the stories from people who were a part of that history. Helping people is much more rewarding!
Anthony, great story, as usual, it’s amazing how 2 of the toughest Gotti’s, killers, had more class and common sense then their other brothers. If possible could you do a full story on Tony Lee, sounds like he was a piece of work.
Anthony, was Foxy full Italian to the best of your knowledge? I found his name and it doesn’t seem his last name is. I know he could have been an associate very close to John Gotti. Ronald “Foxy” Jerothe
Anthony, did you know John's brother Billy Gotti? I read somewhere that Billy was a completely legitimate guy who worked on Wall Street and later got into the restaurant business out in Los Angeles.
Anthony, Another good one. The middle of the night thing is likely PTSD. I was a marine I know it too well, unfortunately. Have a great holiday weekend. P.S. I’m all John Gotti’d out! I’m still dying to hear about the life of Irish Augie! What can I say… I’m Irish. I want to hear about how he and your dad bonded etc. If nothing… about Andy, what about Eddie Boyle was with Huck Carbonero. Or John Burke a Gambino associate. Herbie Sperling. John A Cody. Mad Dog Sullivan. Oscar Ansourian. It goes much deeper than the same old gottis. Persico had a huge tough right hand named Hugh “Apples”McIntosh. How about more in depth about Joe Watts. Or Joey O’Kane?? These guys were far more important than the alites and Calandras. Other content creators hash and rehash the same old Wikipedia crap. You are someone who is able to expose the grain in the wood… the dirt underneath the fingernails… keep going, Anthony.
Look Anthony… look around my friend, look at all these beautiful comments, everyone supports you. Ur dad is proud of the Man U became, u didn’t roll cause u couldn’t do the time, we all know u can do the time, it’s just like u said bro there wasn’t anyone out there worth ur respect. When there was u stood up every time!! Ur father loves you and everyone from what I see in these comments thanks you for being the realest mofo on here
One thing you have that some of these guys don't is authenticity, you're not trying to pretend you're still a gangster. Much respect for that.
What's wrong with being a gangster? Why not be proud of what you did ?
@@truecrimetalk911 because it's a despicable way to live. Preying on your fellow man. Bullying.
Good point.
Right??? It’s so refreshing
I’m glad you’re around to share these stories. When you wake up in the middle of the night , just thank God you are here for your family. ❤
I always thought Pete gotti looks like E.T. 👀.
Drinking coffee and driving to work with Anthony!!!! Gunna be a great day!
I absolutely love this story Anthony. Guaranteed if your Dad was on the street, none of this would of happened. While you were telling this story about Richie Gotti, I could see the anger building up in you. Thank you for always keeping it real. Can’t wait for the next story. Happy Memorial Day Weekend.
i love how this channel has a real band playing the inro music. it gives the show a professionalism to it.
Love the old school stories! I grew up in a rough neighborhood in East San José California and my uncles were reformed gangsters as well grew up, listening to all the war stories and loved it. They have both passed now however, I love listening to these old war stories. Thanks a lot Anthony for the little entertainment.

san jose had a mafia family at one time. the cerrito family.
@James Karins it was a really a crew rather than a family.
@@joedimaggio3687
Glorified crew aka that pygmy thing over in San Jose 😉
Anthony really has the most underrated show on UA-cam now. New vids pop up, I'm watching them. Great way to start a long weekend 😎👍
Anthony.. Every situation is a situation… you do what you do… don’t let the hater drag you down.. it’s over
Don’t let anybody’s comments get to you. Those negative people will never understand what you went experienced. Stay strong!! Love watching your videos.
Love the channel Anthony 👍salute from Scotland bro 👊🏴
If there is anybody online that was in the mob, you are the most enjoyable to watch. Your sincerity is obvious. I think your personality is great as the message.
Respect from belgium europe your dad was the man 💪
Angie .They threw You Under the Bus ! Fug'em . We're they thinking about You ? Fug'em !
Anyone that I've ever seen talk about Ritchie Gotti all say he wasn't too Brite and lived off of John and Genes name and shouldnt have been a wise guy.
Thanks for having your channel! I follow about 5 mob podcasts and I wait to get notified to watch yours 1st. I love the OZ stories and the people you mention, considering I used to live there. Continue your channel🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This reminds me of the saying. "The most famous LCN member, is the one nobody's ever heard of"
Anthony and Sammy are the only ones don't don't bad mouth the other guys.
the best stories
I’ve watched a number of UA-cam mob shows. Most of them get old quick. This one doesn’t. Great stuff!
Great story... I'm glad it was longer then most...I always leave your videos wishing they were longer... This ALMOST satisfied me .. Great job.. PLEASE keep it up
Gene Gotti is a legend. That man did his time didn't talk nor cooperate like some others.
Saint Anthony Mary Claret ora pro nobis!
Get the likes up. The most honest and knowledgeable mob channel there is
lol. Didnt know about the cookie factor with tommy and foxy.
Anthony your Dad is not mad at you
He is proud of you and he actually doesn't
want you to be mad at him anymore❤️ I hope you consider having Sal Polosi and Mikey Scarson. God bless you and the work you do
Not True, if you know and understand those guys from that generation from the 30s and 40s who truly believed in the life, such as fat andy and neil dellacroce, they would clip you in a heartbeat for talking. Doesn’t matter who you were, son brother nephew
@vladimirputin2685 that's when they were still alive I believe in God and I stick by what I said
Thanks for the effort and time
Antonio from one Queens guy to another your stories are the best, brings back a lot of memories...
Another Great Video Anthony
Anthony, this episode was EXCELLENT ! ! ! . . . all the best from Louisiana.

Keep up the great content Anthony 👍but the people are waiting for you to put out a vid all about Tony Lee Guerrieri!🇮🇹
A&S Pork Store.. I miss that place
Good show brother thanks again
That wasn't DB who didn't show. It was DiBono. DB got clipped becauwe Angie told John that DB was talking behind Johns back which seemed to be untrue because Angie took a 200grand loan fro DB.
Did you ever hear about how Tommy Desimone got killed when you were in that life?
Cool Band!!!
Killer Intro music, great podcast Mr.Ruggiano!

You always have the best material Anthony I don’t understand how you don’t have a big hit tv show yet anyway keep it up.
Good video man. Thanks

DB was killed because Angelo. Angelo owed 300k to DB did not want to pay him, so he made a story up to John Gotti. John had Sammy killed him.
Myron Sugarman was around my friends.. he was close with Louis Streaky Gatto a captain in the Genovese from NJ , he was also close with Jerry Catena , Abe Longie Zwillman and Richie the Boot Boiardo
You always have great stories Anthony and I think you are a great guy. You, the two Michael's and Sammy the Bull have the best mob channels out there.
Right is right my guy. You had a good thing going and his greed destroyed it. Way to stand your ground.
Great vid Ant..have a great weekend..frm UK followers
Good morning Anthony 👊💯 Happy Friday 🙏🏼
Happy Friday!
I think u r talking about my stepdad Mike “Novel” Balzano. Mike had Novel Vending on pinball row and used to sell 8 lines and pokers to the street. Mike passed away a few years ago
Jeff never drop any names, especially if theyre no longer with us
@@briang31
Name dropping is all that's being done on these channels, what are you talking about?
yes sir! happy memorial day weekend
Keep it coming!!
Michael spoke recently, in one of his videos, about the UA-cam wiseguys having a sitdown on UA-cam.
You were mentioned, Antonio, and it will be epic if you and Michael, and other wiseguys make the sitdown happen.
Salud🍷
Content is most important thing

You always make me laugh! Appreciate you sir
I’ve been looking forward to the Tony Plate story
Thanks!
Thank you!
Great stories!
Good Video Anthony 👊🇮🇪
Franceze still owes the government 11 million in restitution per Ed McDonald
That’s why he launders it thru those wine and pizza companies
Franzese is a huge loanshark out in California for the Gambinos. That’s his real source of income. He’s got millions out on the street
Who is richie gotti? Lol. Wasnt he the coffee guy?
The story about DB taking him to the studio but never actually doing it was pretty funny
Great intro guys.
Great story Ant
Sounds like an honest man, fair play
You should do a reading with Rita and ask him if he's mad at you?
I only heard of a gay Decalvalcante captain.
I would like to say thank you very much also brother
Anthony, great story, as usual, it’s amazing how 2 of the toughest Gotti’s, killers, had more class and common sense then their other brothers. If possible could you do a full story on Tony Lee, sounds like he was a piece of work.
Gene did his time and didn't cooperate. He is a tough fella.
What happened to Tony plate I know Angelo n John went to Florida to see him n he disappeared always wanted to know what happened
Another great story I could listen to you all day and you tell them well
24:53 “listen I ain’t gettin nuttin out” 😂😂😂😅😅😅
Did u go to pal joeys on Jamaica Ave
Anthony, was Foxy full Italian to the best of your knowledge? I found his name and it doesn’t seem his last name is. I know he could have been an associate very close to John Gotti. Ronald “Foxy” Jerothe
I needed gotti like I needed a 38 in the head
I I heard Robert angle got made for one day and then went to jail is that true
Anthony, did you know John's brother Billy Gotti? I read somewhere that Billy was a completely legitimate guy who worked on Wall Street and later got into the restaurant business out in Los Angeles.
Anthony great story.. I haven't seen u since u ave x east 4th
Hey brother love the content!!
Wanted to know what ya think of Mikey Scars.? Thanks keep up the nice work my man!!
What about Vincent Gotti? He was made also after John was Off the Street.
Anthony,
Another good one. The middle of the night thing is likely PTSD. I was a marine I know it too well, unfortunately. Have a great holiday weekend.
P.S. I’m all John Gotti’d out! I’m still dying to hear about the life of Irish Augie! What can I say… I’m Irish. I want to hear about how he and your dad bonded etc. If nothing… about Andy, what about Eddie Boyle was with Huck Carbonero. Or John Burke a Gambino associate. Herbie Sperling. John A Cody.

Persico had a huge tough right hand named Hugh “Apples”McIntosh. How about more in depth about Joe Watts. Or Joey O’Kane?? These guys were far more important than the alites and Calandras. Other content creators hash and rehash the same old Wikipedia crap. You are someone who is able to expose the grain in the wood… the dirt underneath the fingernails… keep going, Anthony.
Thank you for your service.
Did u know a Brian salvato who hung out with Blaise Cuzzo
"Cueball head" 😂
Anybody see Richie, anybody know why Richie did Bobby lupo, I’m gonna keep coming back til somebody remembers seeing Richie
I bet DiB avoided that first meeting, cause he knew they were aiming to clip him... That was all they needed though, at that point.
Look Anthony… look around my friend, look at all these beautiful comments, everyone supports you. Ur dad is proud of the Man U became, u didn’t roll cause u couldn’t do the time, we all know u can do the time, it’s just like u said bro there wasn’t anyone out there worth ur respect.
