Wow what a kick ass powerful testimony at the end!! I was in the treatment industry for 20 years and it doesn't more powerful than a reformed addict witnessing and giving thier testimony to inspire people. You should hit the talk shows, the churches, the schools, etc with your inspirational testimony. Your doing God's work brother keep it up !
I think your the only one who will admit you could be wrong...why we watch and love the show. You don't fake it for clicks if you know you know if you don't you don't... RESPECT
Love your shows Anthony. You bring us back to the good old days. A kid nite later you bring us back to drug , and alcohol issues today. I’m so proud of your sobriety. You truly are a miracle. God Bless you and your entire family. Keep on keeping it real.
I find it interesting that so many of the former wiseguys are so conservative and rant about a lack of law and order, and how the country's going to Hell because of the Democrats. You, Michael, and Sammy are entertaining, but have huge blind spots because of your political leanings. I feel all of you guys have your hearts in the right place when it comes to crime and drugs, but your solutions to such things are what we've done over and over, and been proven to be expensive failures that disproportionately harms some more than others. I'm not a fan of vending machines dispensing drug paraphernalia, but I understand the intent there in the same way I understand your opposition. We've been putting people in prison for years for drug dealing, drug using, and also for being part of organized crime. And none of that has gone away. Too many people refuse to believe what we face are complex problems that simply don't have easy solutions. What you guys do, the same as right-wing politicians, makes it seem like no one except one set of people with one type of political leanings wants to solve these problems. That's not true, and it's wrong to do that. That aside, I continue to enjoy your channel and hope it continues to grow.
Hey Anthony. Hope all is well. Speaking of sobriety, alcohol was my gateway drug to everything from doing coke to doing anything stupid. Weed to this day is very therapeutic for me. No benzodiazapans. I'm a 56 year old pot head. It affects me differently. I get a speedy type feeling. I never miss work and I do my job. I agree with smoking it in your home or someplace private. Families should not have to smell weed in public places. Kids especially! I guess I been used to it being illegal for so long, I still act as if it is.
I agree with all u say bro im an ex user ex criminal yea its like 2 extreames with everything the world has gone crazy innit bro i think its great wot u do for the addicts keep up the great work ur a HERO
How come nobody knows who the confidential informant was who gave the FBI information that they were speaking in the upstairs apartment from the Raven night? The sheet of discovery had to say who the CI was, so somebody knows the name of the informant, but in all these mob shows, nobody seems to come up with the name, not even Sammy Gravano 😊
Totally digging the background during the band. Thanx for putting em on. And you are a strong man in your sobriety and I find it inspiring for my own sobriety. Stay strong brother!
That’s the truth alcohol and benzos are the only 2 withdrawals can kill u. I abused benzos for years and had 4 seizures from the withdrawals. I’ve been off those for right at 10 years by the grace of God. It took me nearly dying in a car wreck but was showed grace and mercy from the Lord. I’ve learned it’s better to humble yourself than have God humble you cause he’s not easy on US he can be a angry God!!🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏼💪🏼
Fear is indeed a great motivator. Kids today don't fear their parents, they don't fear the wrath of God nor do they respect God. The Government in many states rewards bad behavior be it stealing from stores or lax laws involving drug convictions. Without fear it is hard for people to have respect. Fear can stop you from making bad decisions that can cause you harm in life.
Hey Anthony. Hope all is well. This fentynal is a friggin monster!!! I live in Asheville, NC. We lost 2 servers at the restaurant I work at to fentynal last year. Our company will help any employee who has addiction issues. You gotta go get help. They will hold your job for you. Thankfully their are companies that are good about this.
In a book written about Tommy Pitera that I read, it says Eddie Lino and TP were the shooters on Willie Boy... EL and TP together also killed a guy that was partnered in the heroin business with EL in a car in broad daylight...
You've come a long way, brother. I remember you holding court in couple meetings in Oz 101st and 91st and i think you went to union tpke with your boys. keep doin what you do
35 yrs sober and Don't miss the cocaine at all. Haven't smoked a cigarette in 8yrs and God do i miss a cigarette with my coffee...😂. They need to ask recovering addicts what works and not some douche who read a book on what works.
I understand where he is coming from, I’ve been sober 2 years. But the change is good. At least we are trying something different after 40 years of the war on drugs all that happened was drugs got stronger and cheaper and millions of people were incarcerated
Love your videos Anthony. I watch them everyday at my office. How come do you think mobsters don’t wear suits anymore. I thought it was a rule to dress like you’re in business or wear track suits? I see photos of guys now and they’re in T shirts and jeans
What els needs to be said thank u Anthony for speaking up this is true fact check it I don’t even want to get more upset about the world r n thank u Anthony
Hey Anthony, I'm a huge fan and watch all your videos. It's obvious that everything you share is true. I have a small bit of constructive criticism...you should invest in a decent camera and microphone. If someone clicks on one of your videos and sees a quality production will definitely garner more subscribers and views.
George Benedict at 3 am on New York affliated stations -HEY YOU , YEAH YOU . Are you drunk ? Are you stoned ? What are you doing up at 3 am I know what your up to. Your drunk , stoned and high. Your families asleep and your up partying. You wanna get rid of me NO get rid of your problem Call the number on your screen
people where using just as much if not more when drugs where illegal, get that through your thick head !! that's not how you solve the problem but I agree smoking pot right outside Yankee stadium is a bit much
Hey Anthony, great show and message as usual. Question, about your intro music...Just a guess with no disrespect intended. But is that your son playing the bass? Thanks from a long time subscriber!
Keep speaking the truth 💯 your vids are getting better & better,salute! On a side note Jerry Capeci outted Joe Watts as a federal informant in 1993 or 1994
Hi I am a girl but I love how you help people. Today for the very first time I heard you say my 'good friend michael franzes ' well he killed my father... he isn't such a good friend.. watch your back... I can't love you anymore.. bye
Brilliant onntour feet Antony ,your a top guy .never make it about yourself giving it "Charlie big bananas"😂even when .your notnsure.amd.tony.lee outside the ravenite ,pure class ?. Much love from scotlandb🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👌🏻👌🏻🤝🏻
I don't find Marijuana a bad thing it saves lives and for someone like me with my condition it also helps I have ADHD, add, anxiety, and depression I just don't think it is as bad as some people make it out to be and was happy when they finally realized it was not as bad as they thought it was because facts it did and has saved lives
Look when this man and his crime family were selling drugs everything was illegal and look everything is still the same if not worse. Try a new tactic make everything legal like they do in other countries and let's treat the sick people. Stop criminalizing addiction we lost the drug war a long time ago let's do something different
Love the mob stories on the channel and the frankness, but really.... someone who works with addicts who is against free needles? Geez. Love the channel, sir, but pls stick to the mob. Thats why we all follow you.
Man that story was deep about the commercial reaching out to people who needed help. I’m happy you got the help you needed Anthony. I’m sure you did your dirt while in the streets but you have a good heart and I’m 1000% positive had you of been born into a normal functional family, you would have never have been involved in what you were born into. Product of your environment who made it out. Keep the great work Ant. A lot of people can see what I see and we rootin for you fam 💯 🫵🫡 DURAN DURAN WAS AMAZING I BET !
Great Show, Anthony 👊🏻 With you 💯. In Recovery and work in Treatment, Disgusting what’s happening to this entire Generation!! Old School, struggle with the coddling and MAT. Bulllshit, another dependency and The Government and Pharmaceutical Companies benefit. Don’t believe in enabling, tough love, gotta have consequences. I wouldn’t be here today without them. Let’s go Brandon 🇺🇸🙏
Still the best musical intro on UA-cam!

Love your shows Anthony. You bring us back to the good old days. A kid nite later you bring us back to drug , and alcohol issues today. I’m so proud of your sobriety. You truly are a miracle. God Bless you and your entire family. Keep on keeping it real.
I like watching Anthony, there is no BS about him and he doesn't talk bad about anyone ❤
Anthony, i remember being coked out of mind watching those videos. Going have 23 yrs tomorrow. Love the message! Keep it up!
EXCELLENT ! ! ! Anthony you're so right about Government . All the best from Louisiana.

Salute!
11 years clean this July 6 ,,injoy watching your content bro, hope you have a great 4th 💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 God bless
I agree Anthony things have gotten completely out of control in society today. All these things are government does is all about control.
You are the most sincere person I have seen in a while. Your candor and honesty make a tremendous impact on me.
Much love from south Carolina

There just isn't any respect anymore. We would've never dreamed of smoking weed around or near kids and their parents. America is dying.
That’s the truth alcohol and benzos are the only 2 withdrawals can kill u. I abused benzos for years and had 4 seizures from the withdrawals. I’ve been off those for right at 10 years by the grace of God. It took me nearly dying in a car wreck but was showed grace and mercy from the Lord.

Tuned in, good stuff
Wow, that was from the heart!
Cheers & stay safe 🙂
It's a Free Country..
Hell I just wanna get clean. Problem is I live in California. Talked to others same problem

I like your stories the best. Your stories are like the meat and potatoes of the mob.
I like how he's not trying to speak on how tough he was in the streets and all the $ he made,almost like he was the working class wiseguy😅

So happy you're made a Friday morning video. You haven't done this in about a month. You ruined my Friday morning routine
Anthony- did Tommy Agro own a bar in queens? Did you know his 2 enforcers, paul principe amd frank russo?
Sammy mentioned Tommy Karate was one of the shooters along w Eddie Lino

A glass of wine equals a bundle.

Didn;t Joe Watts have Angelo's people on his ass aftrer , wasn't Gasspipe the Hydell question fearing for his life afterwards,.
Fat Andy was right!!!!!!
Your views on the government’s attitude toward drug is 💯 right.. It’s a money grab… People need to wake up as you say..
Hearing this from you. I think the feds started the, (he talks too much) version of Quack, Quack.
Anthony how would youre dad like youre podcast?
The government is the legal LCN
deal n die rules v
Alcohol is worse than weed im an addict also and yes pot is a gateway drug but mostly because you went to a drug dealer to get it.
Hope all is well Anthony
If you were still in that life and had to hit the mattresses
Pick 5 guys you would want around you
Look when this man and his crime family were selling drugs everything was illegal and look everything is still the same if not worse. Try a new tactic make everything legal like they do in other countries and let's treat the sick people. Stop criminalizing addiction we lost the drug war a long time ago let's do something different
