RAT of the Month JR

Joey and Lil Snuff reminisce about Joey’s childhood in South Philadelphia including how playing neighborhood games almost lit a house on fire and how he became a jockey as a teenager. The two talk old-school hockey Flyers fights, bare-knuckle fights, dining with the rat A-Rod, and the insane fake election story that continues to circulate and FINALLY we name the official first rat of the month: JR Rubeo. These exclusive never before never-before-heard tapes reveal the truth about his criminal activity while manipulating the FBI.

[@killerheelscrime]

Facts 💯

[@ricolaw1033]

@@makai_goat215it’s less shootings and murders from the late 80’s to early 90’s. It just seems like more because of social media. 2020-2022 had a surge but 2023 had 104 less murders than 2022. Homicides were down 20%, non fatal shootings down 28% in 2023

[@user-ry7jo5oo7y]

Boston Irish here, grew up in Charlestown. Half ball with the pimple ball was huge in the neighborhood when I was growing up. It’s great to see a show without rats talking about how they used to be tough guys. Tomorrow night me and my co-defendants, all convicted armored car robbers, are getting together for the anniversary of our arrest. Every year we get together on March 1st, not to celebrate getting pinched, but to celebrate taking it on the chin, being solid, doing our time and still being friends. It’s a good feeling to be able to sleep at night and be able to look anybody in the eye. God Bless you guys! Keep on Keeping on! ☘️☘️☘️🙏🏻

Hi pal I'm in Cork ireland I'm going to Boston in summer first time visiting the states I done 10 years for robbery myself here in ireland there's no room anywhere for rats God bless brother

[@gmoneyApexTrader8]

You Boston guys love them armored trucks . I watched a documentary on a crew , I forget their names it’s been yearsss , but I think it’s the guys that they made that movie the town about. The Chicago outfit is the last real family / crews left in the country . Still the same guys . My best man’s uncle just passed away jimmy “i” old age in his own bed because they don’t tell on each other

[@marctodisco]

I remember playing street hockey across from the Mishawum, stuffed a rag in a wiffle ball and played in that court fenced in with the real hockey nets not the plastic white ones that fell apart everytime you hit the crossbar with a slap shot. I’m not a Townie, grew up in Medfid couple city’s over

[@youvandal411vm]

Joey cracks me up. He seems like a guy you could sit down and have a beer with and have a great time.

[@kefkahkefkah]

Putting out Rat of the Month on youtube is a smart move, fellas. You will draw in way more viewers if you keep putting these out!

[@user-xf8ou1hu5p]

Only a true loser or a true sucker would pay to listen to these 2 mamalukes talk…very very sad

[@floorboss]

Yeah I don't think Eric & _The Skinny_ family really cares about "Views" & YT clicks. If they did, there'd be weekly 'sports picks' vids & more videos in general. They put out like A 10mnt video every 2 or 3 weeks. In 2024 Its all about Patreon w/ most YT/ pod casts anyway (an I refuse to pay monthly for any audio radio stuff).

[@williamannette558]

But they didn’t. Did u watch the video ? Another goofball

When I lived in South Philly in my early 20s Joe ran South Philly and it was a great time. He had the courage to give back to the community and keep it safe. He was also very approachable. Thanks Joe

[@everylittlethinggonnabealright]

Yeah... After he / they filled the place with Drugs very kind of him smh.

[@user-vp7ox2vz1i]

Another great and AWESOME video of great and legendary Skinny Joey Merlino - the living legend of Philadelphia. Keep up the good work mate. Just one small thing - can you please put-on full episodes on here so that we can watch them. Thanks fellas and a lot of support from Brisbane, Australia

[@fernandoacosta7714]

Great as always. Big fan from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@billyangelino941]

Joey is one hundred percent right about the kids today, I help raise my fifteen year old niece, smart, but as useful as a doormat. Would not lift a finger to help with anything. I had enough, I told my eighty one year old mom, you adopted this kid when she was five, I am looking for another house to buy, because I can't stay here anymore and help with this losing battle. You can't hit a kid, you will be doing time for trying to keep them on the right road. Ridiculous.

[@bigsweetc6]

Thank you cugines for sharing a long one for the working stiffs and family men who don’t have patreons!!

[@MerlinoShorts]

Wearing a wire for 5 years is wild 😂

[@pornneliushubbard1967]

NGL his podcast is growing on me. I wasn’t to sure. Merlino seems like a great guy with values. Calls out rats, did his time, gives back to people. Hope to hear more but longer versions. Come on Joey give us more mob stories or stories of you growing up and make the podcast longer no more 25 minutes…

[@bruisersdilemma354]

Did you just say Merlino seems like a great guy with values?

[@shawnfreeman7829]

He is a murderer thug !!! Values ?

[@THATDAMSPORTSHOW]

​@bruisersdilemma354 he did say that, you gotta problem with what he said?

[@killerheelscrime]

Joeys not like the rats on mobtube he doesn't glorify the life or talk about it and I respect him for that

[@victora2790]

The man called his own uncle a rat bastard, its safe to say he takes the life seriously. Never even hear him mention the word mafia. Meanwhile a bunch of rats on here giving interview after interview about how they did this and that but they never acknowledge how they betrayed their own friends when it was time to sit down.

Do you really believe that that is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. Chaz is a big supporter of law-enforcement and Lilo was a heroin addict. His actions are the reason that police officer is dead pull your head out of your ass.

Just subscribed and enjoy the show Mr. Merlino. Got a question: Did you ever hear of a Philly guy " Fuzzy Joe" Esposito ? Did he do time and was he associated with the Pagans ? New his daughter and she spoke of him often.
