Catching up on your old shows. You and Sammy have the best shows because you have the inside information. Other people are just guessing.

I'm 43. I called my father, Daddy until the day he died 3 years ago. Some would make fun of me throughout life but ANYONE CAN BE A FATHER. IT TAKES SOMEONE SPECIAL TO BE A DADDY!

Great show Anthony 👏

Ralph galione was the 3rd guy at snoops bar. He was clipped not too long after that hit. I believe galione is who your host was thinking of.

[@RobWallace-ng4sz]

[@robertl3592]

The second Gotti movie was terrible. I wouldn't blame Travolta as much as the supporting cast, and it wasn't watchable. Gotti 1 HBO different story that is an underrated mob movie. In my opinion, I would put it up there with Casino and goodfellas

[@Dead2you]

no shit? under your recommendation i've got to check it out. i usually skip these straight to vhs type movies.

[@gusb711]

Andy I live in Scotland and as you know it’s saturated with con men this genre like this raiumundi who claims he fenced the jewelry from the Lufthansa heist lol , I watch every episode of yours you tell great stories unlike others you can verify what you say and you seem a genuine person,I hope you keep up the podcast and btw I love the intro music,catchy I’m a fan from the uk,

[@zarkovecerkovic4825]

After hearing about John Gotti, it sounds like he was a very complex person, very hard for any actor to do him Justice in a movie. The fact that you befriended him is so cool because he really intimidated most people.

[@LUCKYB.]

All You Had to do was Be Real . And Be Straight Up .

[@Idkwhatsupwithyou]

Haha yeah he was a real POS

[@BostonsF1nest]

Even more so- Gotti just has a very particular look about him. If an actor doesn’t have the looks down, doesn’t matter if he can pull off his personality really, which is hard in its own right. And not many ppl on earth look or can carry themselves like John.

[@TGP109]

It's funny to hear a gangster talk about Favara not showing ''remorse''.

Didn’t Gotti get Paroled from Green Haven in July 77?

[@4Wardlogistics]

Im confused, is this Anthony's podcast? I thought i went to his channel but this dude seems to be interviewing anthony instead of the other way round

[@BostonsF1nest]

It’s weird John had a fear of flying then 2 years after his son died, Sal Ruggerio died in a plane crash

[@knoname7778]

Wort thing that ever happened to the American mob was having Gotti as a boss

Good luck

Gotti 1996 Is The Best Hands Down When Does The Next Fear City Series Come Out And Your Series come out

[@HamiltonRb]

Would be interesting to hear something about John's brother's Gene & Peter. I know Gene did a lot of time on the heroin case, even though the mob isn't involved in drugs, lol, but what else was he involved in, and what did Peter ever do to rise the ranks to boss?

[@jesseknorr8594]

Peter Gotti was a ex sanitation worker and a total moron. The guy had no buisness at all being the boss. He shouldn't have even been a made guy but of course Gotti made him boss when he was locked up. Gene was the real deal he was way more of a boss than John was

[@HamiltonRb]

@@jesseknorr8594 None of us know for a fact what Gene or Peter did, and just repeating what we have read elsewhere, but would be interesting to know from someone who was actually in that life, what their history was.

[@jesseknorr8594]

@@HamiltonRb what are you talking about it's well known what both Peter and gene did. Peter worked for years as a sanitation worker then after his brothers were made men he joined up with them as did all except one of the Gotti brothers. People who knew them have spoken about both of them.

[@jesseknorr8594]

@@HamiltonRb also the only reason Peter was ever the boss was because of his brother. After junior Gotti was jailed Peter took over not because he deserved the position but because of his brother. Peter was laughed at and never was taken seriously as a boss by any of the other families. The guy was a total moron

[@jesseknorr8594]

@@HamiltonRb did you know that all the Gotti brothers except one are in the mob. One of the brothers lives in LA totally on his own and is a restaurant owner not a criminal.

[@michaelburnett7809]

John travolta was a disgrace in gotti 2 imho

[@tupacwallace3113]

That whole movie was a disgrace

[@heliop2516]

I here were you’re coming from and respect you honesty and the truth can you talk about your previous life? but one thing I never here is we’re is the money your father had I no when the feds jack you up and you make deals they steal you blind , but guys like you’re old man and I mean this with the most respect didn’t he put money away for you’re mom and himself .

[@MrBigkev23]

I had to were different clothes back then when they were kidnapping kids.. that was the kid froggys father . He was a coke head and John didn't trust him .. he had a machine guy in his trunk mc Bratney lucky he didn't actually get to go outside

[@richl6952]

What happened to ciros son

[@matthewrider5906]

Ya know.... I used to think Sammy Gravano was probably the 'bigger' (however ya define 'bigger') gangster between himself & Michael Franzese... But Franzese was actually a capo a good deal before Gravano. And a helluva good earning capo, too! I actually happen to believe Franzese's story abt being offered a position as capo from Chin. (But I also believe that such a particular offer may've been a loyalty test that Persico asked Gigante to conduct for him! We'll never know.) Matter of fact, Sammy was still a soldier all the way up to the Castellano clip! And even then, I doubt Gotti would've promoted him had it not been for Frankie DeCicco wanting Gravano to be upped. But why Gotti chose him as his underboss, after Frankie Cheech's death, even if it was a concession to the former 'Castellano'/aka Brooklyn faction of the borgata... I'll certainly never know!

[@jimbeam-ru1my]

neil should have declared himself the boss. making paul the boss caused a schism that didn't end until paul was finally clipped. The boss is the boss but when the boss is dead he isn't the boss anymore. John probably would have still become the boss but he wouldn't have had to clip paul to do it.

[@josephmartinez8803]

A.R. is correct about Travolta, aka Vinnie Babareno. About Gotti being on the cover of Time magazine, Al Capone beat him to that by a few decades. There was also Tony Salami, of the Pepperoni family, and Eddie Spaghetti of the Pizzeria family. 😂👍

[@patflaherty307]

Yeah I love John Travolta but he should stick to disco dancing😅

[@RobZajac]

John drove for Florida. He did have to fly with the marshalls though to marion.

[@joeberraco5883]

Doesn’t “Gotti” mean cat?

[@retiredwelder]

I know how much you respect Gotti but I still truly believe that between his flashiness and making everyone go see him in the middle of the day at the ravenight really started some shit. I myself think if he hadn’t of got arrested that the other families were going to have him whacked. Great video!!!!!! Pietro Della-Malva IV. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@SavvyWelder]

So Anthony if you could do me a favor and go back relisten to the tapes. John Gotti told Angelo well hes the boss you do what he says, then Neil Dellacroce told Angelo not John that th3 Boss is the Boss

[@joeberraco5883]

Why does Wade keep referencing the Travolta “Gotti” movie? That movie was unwatchable and scored a whopping 0% on rotten tomatoes. That means not one reviewer liked it.

[@crimenentertainment]

Good or bad, the point of the show is to reference real-life guys to the movies. If you watch that later Gotti expecting better than the 96 Gotti, yes, you will be greatly disappointed. Watching it purely of the standpoint of facts that are missing or changed is what I think is the draw. Definitely not Entertainment. Although I thought Stacey Keech did decent as O'Neil. Hard to beat Quinn tho.

[@joeberraco5883]

@@crimenentertainment Yeah but there is a difference between referencing a movie like"Goodfellas" and "Gotti". Gotti was unwatchable. It was terrible. It scored a 0.00% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nothing can be said about it to redeem that horrible movie.Stacey Keach played O'Neil? Another reason to hate it.

[@crimenentertainment]

@joeberraco5883 Nobody said it was good. I didn't think, witness to the Mob, was good either. It's just comparing perspectives.

[@xavierjames8085]

Great show , only thing is carlo never did pay the Ransom for his nephew , I think he had a meeting with all the bosses or high ranking ppl n his family n as legend has it he said “ listen if I pay this ransom there going to start kidnapping all of our kids n I’m not having it ! “ find who did n I want him dead yesterday !, n the extra guy that went with gotti n Angelo was a guy from the Lucchese family it was James froggy galione dad

[@BostonsF1nest]

Well the guy killed his nephew. That’s why he was killed

[@xavierjames8085]

@@BostonsF1nest I know that already I’m jus saying cus some ppl don’t what I jus said , I wasn’t being a dick , I was jus letting other ppl know , actually some fbi agents said it in a documentary n it actually wasn’t even that guy that they killed who did it , he was part of the crew but he had no part in Carlo sons kidnapping . Nevertheless he was killed . I also do believe the 3rd guy that went with gotti n Angelo n messed up the hit did end up being killed idk if it was cus of that hit or something else , again the guy was James “ froggy” Gaglione dad

[@MrBigkev23]

John Travolta was horrible as gotti ... he had his mannerisms but thats it he should never ever ever try to play a gangster or street guy .. tom cruise would have did better .. Armand Asante killed it as gotti.. Anthony I have 5,036 days sober but who's counting 😎😎

[@Mike_Norris]

Travolta did his best...that's for sure. But, I always hated the look he had on his face throughout the whole movie. This kinda weird scowl like he stepped on some dog shit and the smell was pissing him off and grossing him out constantly.

[@seahawks366]

John Travolta played the worst Gotti by far. When john jr first watched the screening of that movie he had to be so pissed

[@MrBomccorkle]

we just need anthony to spin a tale, this other guy doesnt do it for me, he strikes me as a guy who watched some movies and wants to be famous asking throw away questions
