Danbury Trashers GM, and Son of Mob Boss, AJ Galante Opens Up About Life After Netflix Documentary

[@ethanbrown8132]

Dude needs to make Danbury Trashers jerseys available for purchase.

[@christytrim291]

I just saw some when I googled the team.

[@jonathanhand3672]

They have a website where they sell jerseys but they are sold out

[@team_1j_jont-179]

Barstool has t shirts and hoodies.

[@agreensubstance]

McAfee has got the camo jersey

[@fnyourmom3064]

@@team_1j_jont-179 we don’t want a Barstool logo on it, we want their jersey. Barstool had nothing to do with it.

[@florenciohernandezjr.2556]

Watched last night and told myself I hope Pat and the Boys get him on the show soon... y’all deliver the very next day.

[@BradleyBurnecers]

same situation! i listen to the podcast version at work and when he said "we got AJ gilante on" i was stoked! literally watched it 8 hours prior

[@RyanRenteria]

Literally same

[@michaelbettisworth8938]

Same here

[@travismoore4885]

That's because this is the best fuckin daily show PERIOD. Not a close second.

[@static1217]

[@Dpcampbell8]

This guy was a great interview. Definitely have him back again!

[@poolshark121]

Pat always finds the most interesting guests

[@SEBdini]

This could be a 6 parter

[@sportsbettingeducation]

Gonna be hard to find a reason to bring him back.

[@chudson181]

Hands down the best documentary I've seen in along time and Ive seen almost every great sports documentary out there but the real life sopranos come on what's better than that plus hockey!! Great great watch.

[@SkimmerVideoz]

Grew up in Danbury during this time and it was amazing. These guys are what had me playing hockey as a kid at the ice rink. Was so sad when the team left but have awesome memories.

[@Shotty21000]

I grew up in Bethel and remember wanting to play hockey because of them. Since CT usually chooses Boston or New York it was nice to have a local team.

[@unwelcomemotivation]

love how they set him up like a huge moron and then he absolutely kills it, great story.

[@kcvlt3]

I don't think they ever let off that he was a moron. Just way too immature (as most/all of us would have been @ 17) to run a semi pro hockey squad. And let's be real, if they weren't cheating and funneling money into players on the side, the Trashers probably would have been awful. But let's all thank god that's not what happened lol.

[@unwelcomemotivation]

@@kcvlt3 I exaggerated lol I feel ya...it's still a fun story, even he admitted he lets people believe what they want

[@kcvlt3]

@@unwelcomemotivation dude, Pat aint lyin'... best doc since The Last Dance. Short and sweet. I'm from CT and vaguely remember this story.

[@static1217]

@@kcvlt3 how did they cheat?? Other than the money laundering and paying under the table??

[@boxermccoy]

I know I almost didn’t watch it cuz I thought he was going to be a douche but love the guy. Authentic dude

[@suezq57]

This was the best documentary! Addictive!! T Bone is electric!!

[@awntr024]

I randomly watched the doc Tuesday night after work and then saw the interview today. and I’m just like Pat, expected the worst for AJ and really became a big fan of his. amazing

[@TheFilmSpace1]

Same

[@drehicks505]

I’ve never heard of this guy!!! But, He was electric!! ⚡️ 💯

[@rugerboyks6288]

The best part is AJ never stopped being himself. He had a punk appearance but all around he was a nice good dude in the end, totally surprised me.

[@ryanrecher6542]

This guy is a walking “don’t judge a book by its cover”

[@mitchellmcdevitt9359]

Danbury used to play my home town team the Quad Cities mallards. Those games were so incredible. The fights that would happen were unbelievable. My god they were so bloody lol Watching this documentary took me back to being in middle school going to games with my dad it was awesome!!

[@johnlamont3885]

I went to a few mallard games in 2018 when i was at St. Ambrose and that place was absolutely electric!!

[@chrispage5683]

Mallards 😆 🤣 gtfo

[@fonsavan]

Damn! He crushed this interview. Documentary blew me away

[@Codyfrank11]

Got emotional when Jimmy surprised winger at the end of the doc. And the big tough guy shedded some tears when he reunited with Jimmy 🥲 amazing work

[@MrGMT1992]

This was such a great netflix doc. Had no idea about this til this interview. How cool. What a great interview

[@korryjones7371]

Best god damn interview in pat mcafee show history. 💯

[@mattcarey8171]

for real, heard about this from the show yesterday, watched it last night, then homie is on the show next day. Hot fire boys. Amazing doc, especially as a former youth hockey player mighty ducks fan. Deff thought AJ was gonna be a huge tool then completely won me over. Classic dont judge a book by its cover

[@azcoach5369]

Felt right at home during this interview. Great documentary and a stand up guy. He was a smart kid and I don't think he gave himself enough credit. What a hell of a guy to offer jerseys to the staff at the end. A friend of ours 😉

[@billbird2969]

Chyna ate all his hamburgers! Priceless! This documentary was absolutely amazing! If you haven’t seen it you’re missing out!

[@CrackerBarrelkid555]

this guy was made for the media totally a likable guy. you would never expect him to be such a conversationalist. that’s truly what’s gotten him to this level the way he carries himself.

[@JayChadwickRugby]

Awesome documentary! I've watched it 3x 🗑️🏒👏

[@butch420cassidy4]

It blows my mind that I just learned of this whole story a day ago.. Thanks Netflix

[@johnrouille5428]

I loved that doc it was great I think I could watch it a million times over

[@NuttyOwlGames]

Literally grew up a block away from the ice rink. The environment at that time was incredible.

[@eureka0521]

did you go to a game?

[@NuttyOwlGames]

@@eureka0521 I also remember when the trashers got disbanded. The town was so bummed, it was literally the thing to do in town. Danbury is a small city, but it doesn’t have a lot to do other than the mall, so when they left it was a bummer. They have a new minor league team called the jack rabbits or something, but I don’t know how many people actually go to watch lol.

[@Cgny]

[@dustinbailey9644]

When I first saw the “kid” I was like oh here we go. Never judge a book by its cover, I love this man! He has the it factor he is money! 😂

[@orrico78]

Went to one of the games in high school, it was so fun. This was a tough team and the crowd loved it

[@christopheroconnor2632]

It's great that one day Mike Rupp scores tye goal to win a cup for the devils and then he is with the Danbury trashers during the nhl strike year.

Being from CT, seeing "Dansbury" hurts my soul

[@theItalianshamrock]

The one time something good happens in Danbury they spell it wrong lmao

[@Tegan4114]

The Trashers doc is arguably the craziest/most compelling sports doc of all time.

[@chrisgleason1344]

between the last two nights of hype, now I need Netflix just to watch this.

[@SeanOMatic]

Chyna was jacked. She definitely ate those burgers.

The Netflix doc was so dope to watch

[@team_1j_jont-179]

Absolutely amazing movie! What a great guy Jimmy is! Did so much for Aj and all the guys. Mafia man or not there is no doubt he has a big heart and people love him. The only reason the government went after him was the fact that he was beating them at their own games. We bought some trashers hoodies from barstool right after watching lol. If this movie could be the gateway to reform the trashers that would be awesome!

[@seegee9]

Yeah Jimmy seems like a cool dude and a hell of a father

Best doc Pat has ever seen….? Jesus is it the 4th documentary he’s watched in his entire life? Not saying it’s a bad documentary by any means, it’s extremely entertaining but it’s by no means anywhere the best documentary on sports even.

Man I miss going to Trasher games as a kid. I hope I run into AJ to thank him for all the fun in my hometown. And pat its pronounced Dan-Berry not Dan's bary
