1935! The year my Mum was born & she’s still kicking & swearing like a sailor at 87! ✌🏽

[@CherryPi314]

Hey there, I’m from Rhode Island. Any way you can cover mob ties to North Providence via Boston? I know a little about the Patriarca family but would like a little more deep dive if your so inclined. Back in the day, little state + big corruption in “Little Rhody” ✌🏽

[@cruz19911992]

1919. Love this new mob channel. You tell stories of Mobster's I never heard of before. Keep up the good work!

[@spencerwyche2552]

I've been reading about organized crime for over 25 years,besides OC Shortz,your channel is tops.

[@afewbadmen.]

Thank you that's high praise he is one of my favs too.

[@babygerald4645]

You know I love a channel when I let the ads play out or even click on the advertiser so the creator gets max revenue from my view. Great work like this deserves it. Now to check the merch.

[@afewbadmen.]

Thank you so much pal .. I really appreciate it.

[@duaneoldfield]

I didn't know that but I'm willing to do it for this channel 👍

[@pauliedibbs9028]

Now this is how I like to start my weekend... Thank you, Boss!

[@afewbadmen.]

You got it pal!

[@jeffgranda3931]

Definitely one of a kind so far,your channel is on point.

[@afewbadmen.]

thank you much appreciated

[@potheadmike8510]

This would make an AWESOME movie! They don't even have to completely derail the pacing of the movie by pandering to women, with a contrived made up love interest, for our protagonist AND antagonist! Great storytelling, AFBM! I REALLY LOVE that song in the background! It's small personal touches, aside from your fact checking and topic of discussion, that make your channel stand out.

[@teklife8271]

LOVE HOW YOU NARRATE💯

[@ampbeautee3725]

Enjoyed the video once again 👍🏾 (The Yr. 1921)

[@ristobenjie]

Even though the background music you use is stirring, when you speak, I feel like I'm witnessing these events, like I'm there on the streets, in the brothels, the bars, backrooms, I can literally see and feel the people

[@afewbadmen.]

Thanks pal that is what I try to do

[@betsydooly5927]

Finally someone who can pronounce Italian names and others right!! Good luck on this journey!!

[@afewbadmen.]

I do make an effort. Thanks for tuning in.

[@boujeepistola2113]

The narration is absolutely entertaining

[@E204thbronx]

Great show I heard or read years ago Johnny Spanish claimed to be related to the Spanish military commander of Cuba in later 1800’s with last name of Weyler who was brutal in putting down Cuban insurrection and is considered by historians to have started the idea of concentration camps

[@rauldeleon6524]

I like your content and the way you use that old time slang I catch myself saying it now lol

[@chriszz9006]

Awesome!!! 🍿🍿🍿 Grab my popcorn and I'm good Thank you!!!

[@dantheman4838]

Whoop here it is. Great video as always, my friend. You gave me more info on Nathan Kaplan that his 'biography' I bought on Kindle did...lol. Excellent presentation.

[@afewbadmen.]

thank you my pleasure.

[@jarrettoneal7008]

1941 my friend great stuff. I look foward every saturday now.

[@afewbadmen.]

much appreciated

[@FernandoGon814]

Love the background song! Great videos! Thanks

[@afewbadmen.]

You got it! pal!

[@pauliedibbs9028]

Something tells me Johnny was of Neapolitan descent. Naples has a heavy Spanish influence, with many speaking Spanish as well, and a lot of the natives have a darker complex than other Italians.. Much like my Grandfather*

[@afewbadmen.]

Could be but his mother was Spanish.

[@pauliedibbs9028]

@@afewbadmen. If they did meet in Italy, I'd have to bet it was Naples. The Spanish influence is still heavy there till this day; Naples being home to the famous Spanish Steps. Lots of Spainards still live there and the _goodfellas_ of today like to hide out in Spain. Funny fact, the word 'Guapo' in Spanish means 'handsome' or 'bold' but in Naples it means a bonified gangster lmao

[@davidemelia6296]

His mother was a Sephardic Jew - they were mostly persecuted away from the Iberian peninsula, from Spain and Portugal, in the 1400s. But his dad was Italian, and his real name was Giovanni Mistretta (Mistretta is a town in Messina in Sicily). So it could be that he did have Neapolitan descent - there were plenty of Napoletano people in America at the time - but he was probably of Sicilian and Sephardic descent.

[@mikeybraz915]

Great video... big fan of your channel, keep'em coming. Have a great weekend

[@afewbadmen.]

Thanks, you too!

[@bryaneddy5272]

wanted to learn more about these two. Thanks. you're the man.

[@hugosophy]

Supposedly wheeler or weyler was his mother’s maiden name she was a descendant of the Spanish general Fernando weyler who fought in Cuba in the Spanish American war

[@CrazyFeathers]

I saw a recommendation for a video of Babyface Nelson. If I may, I think Alvin Karpis would be a good figure to cover. He was a “Big Bad”.

[@old-fashionedcoughypot]

1933 is my number. Great vids, man! Can you do a video or two of WW2 era tales when the US Gov't & mafia worked together against The Axis?

[@afewbadmen.]

I will do something on that time

[@shilohbrutalis582]

When they're this obscure, relistening is almost like the first time

Your killin it Bro", style, class, the whole thing, Thanks; The☘fellas

[@afewbadmen.]

[@elvinkrigsman6956]

Fun fact: pretty Amberg and dutch Shultz got killed the same day October 23 , 1935. Mendy Weiss was there for both of them

[@afewbadmen.]

Best channel ever my brother !!

[@afewbadmen.]

WOW thank you so much Brother I appreciate that.

[@esseen100]

Now I know why Hollywood won't make some of these stories. They don't want that kind of image.😄

[@kideos3236]

Where do these names like kid twist and kid dropper come from? Dropper I assume because he makes people drop to the ground (killing them) but kid twist I don't get - do you know?

[@cjempire1188]

If u can speak Italian u can easily speak Spanish.. If u speak Spanish u can easily speak Italian.. Spain got their Spanish language from Italy.. it's jus a " slang" version of the Italian language that's all

[@GaryB-75]

Kid dropper….Good name for a gangster lousy name for a babysitter.🤣

[@d_dub8898]

😂😂😂😂

[@johnthomas5832]

And shots ring out

[@bronxbomerpito7286]

Crazy story

[@TedBronson1918]

Good God - all these gangsters with guns couldn't hit the broad side of a barn for all the shooting they did ! Spanish had to be right next to you to kill you. I don't think anyone of those guys really knew how to aim from a distance back then, or bothered to practice. It was damned dangerous to be next to or near their target if they were shooting from more than twenty feet away.
