The best part about Anthony’s channel is that he talks about the “not so glamorous” aspects to the life… the side that many overlook or disregard all entirely.

[@Sicwkskxkckckzd]

U think he’s better than Sammy ?

[@Geezuse]

yes@@Sicwkskxkckckzd

[@BostonsF1nest]

That’s not the best part. The best part is the stories about the life. That’s why anyone listens. We don’t listen to be reminded that drugs are bad or gangs are bad lol. That’s ludicrous. I’m interested in the mafia and wanna hear about how they lived back in the day. The bosses. The murders. The scams. Anthony has great stories. Anything else is not why I listen. It’s that simple.

[@johnsullivan9922]

no

[@danamissouri]

Awesome. Another Anthony video to listen to while working in the yard tomorrow!

[@Avital4414]

Anthony is the best story teller on KZbin. I can listen to him for hours.

[@MrLookatthesizeofit]

Story teller is right ✅️

[@giovannigiorgio8664]

Just like mother goose. A fictional character.

[@sbjncn]

@@giovannigiorgio8664 just like giovanni giorgio

[@j-t4436]

Love the dynamic of these, with the former mob guy and former cop. It’s also no surprise that an ex cop would make a good interviewer.

[@stevehickman6070]

This man is a mine of information. So honest and genuine. I’m so glad he’s around to educate us with all this history

[@billflipper1130]

Bill courtney interviews better than someone with 25 years as a journalist. It's a minimalist approach akin to the writing style of Cormac McCarthy.

[@bciw1]

Wow! Thanks, pal! I'm flying by the seat of my pants! 😊

[@closedpool]

Woah! Very very cool comparison.

[@wendybinnj]

i am glued to the screen. but not only about the stories of a connected life .... what a soul he is.... like i can imagine how many lessons for a man who overcame a very dicey childhood.... and real and approachable and turned a new leaf and stays with it. and to be a counselor, mentoring when he could be living the high life. that is true grace.

[@duncannapier318]

I'd love to hear you interview Bobby Luisi as he has a similar story of addiction and how he overcame it etc. Thanks for making and thanks for sharing this pretty powerful stuff. 👍🇿🇦

[@thomashowlin4353]

Great show ! Anthony never fails.

[@chrisderidder4087]

This podcast should be much bigger! Top podcast

[@sjm07400ex]

Just came across your channel man you're a stand-up guy I like your interviews and the way you carry yourself you're super down to earth looking forward to seeing you grow

[@judithcampbell1705]

I kinda like Anthony. If he is a mobster, he is a very likeable guy. Thank you 💛

[@user-iz4xe1ep9h]

I have heard several interviews with Anthony. This one is the best.

[@btterfly666]

I absolutely love listening to Anthony discuss his childhood.

[@jennifermedeiros2827]

Great sit down

[@gavinbrando8255]

Anthony tells the truth no matter what it might mean to speak differently. He doesn't care he's real and he's one of the only guys who describes the real JOHN GOTTI as a man without the bs or agendas

[@Mob4336]

Yeah Anthony comes Off as an honest person who is still torn between the life and what he did. ( especially in his shoes )

[@BIGGLOUPR]

Joe Beck Di Palermo Was A Lucchese Not The West-Side Borgata💯💯💯💯

[@BIGGLOUPR]

I Heard On Another Channel That Vinny PaPa ....Eventually Was Made ....And He's Cousin With Jerry PaPa 💯💯💯💯

[@Schoolofhardknocks1967]

Watching your interviews with these former gangsters, makes me feel so very grateful that I had a strong father who kept me inline and was very involved with me and my siblings he definitely kept me out of trouble and from going down the wrong path in life

[@ericbasora4697]

Anthony is a class act. An amazing guy, with amazing stories. Blessings and respect Anthony.

[@Jam-vj8ig]

Great guest 🎉

[@tommygun3666]

Love Anthony. How could you not like this man. He's a good soul. God bless you Anthony.

[@paulpower5412]

Anthony should do a tour of the uk he talks a lot of sense and is a great story teller he comes across as a real gentleman

[@deeboo1122]

Yea this guy Bill does a great job,.. I love his interview style

[@erok268]

"I got some crazy name on my draft card like travis lewis" lolol what thats such a normal name. Only some italian guy would say that

[@northernking2604]

Everything i got arrested for is legal now... who are the real criminals😏

[@Geezuse]

it ends abruptly?

[@anthonyrobbins9778]

The interview cuts off early at the end it ends in the middle of them talking

[@MarkFer892]

Excellent interview. Always look forward to this podcast.

[@michaelblack1925]

I'm Moe's Black's grand son when I was younger somebody stole my bike and Andy got it back for me he's a good guy he's a legitimate man there is no mafia

Interviewer knowledge and expertise is unparalleled

[@7...7...7]

Anthony Ruggiano jr great podcast!

[@jeremyreevessicg2218]

I was at a prison in KY and a C.O. Would let us grow weed outside of the prison’s greenhouse.

[@smile9957]

I knew at a young aga of my life that something wasn't right but I didn't knew they broke up the family's because you know

[@anthonyrobbins9778]

The interview cuts off early at the end of the

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

Out of all the people that I listen to,Anthony is closest to the truth. I believe about eighty percent of what he says and that’s good. He definitely sounds much more believable than many others. I wish him well, he’s credible. I’m from Miami so I know all about the snow that built Miami.

[@Richgee31]

Intro song?

[@Durakko47]

2Pac - Lifes so hard original

[@gennerobootz6490]

[@jameshealy6799]

Real gangsters never rat 🐀

[@TasteTestTitan]

I love Anthony’s stories about his fawtha.

[@Geezuse]

why does the cop not have a NYC accent but Anthony does?

[@DoctorVinnieBoombatz]

This guy has led a pretty horrific and depressing life if you think about it. Obviously it helps to be a little sociopathic in order to live with the things he's done, but oh marone...

[@gfunk5994]

Steely Dan. Black Cow. “Like a gangster, on the run. 😅

[@mattsweeny3957]

Matty The Horse was a Combat Marine..WWII, I believe..mad Dog Sweeney
