I don't care if there's a lot of "untruths" in Gianni's stories. At his age, his memory of names, dates, places, events, circumstances, addresses, etc. is so sharp and flowing, that there is a solid ring of truth in this.
Too young to know ANYTHING serious 🧐… all these CLOWNS 🤡 under 35-years old know nothing past 1995 frfr…… The dumbest & laziest of ALL the Generations….,
I’ve met a few famous people and I’m no one in my 50’s. He was in one of the greatest movies with extremely famous stars, that was his circle, people don’t believe my average life so I understand they can’t understand his, but his totally believable to me
I get what you're saying. People from the Midwest or deep south can't relate to even 5% of this. People find it hard to believe that as an average joe from New York I hung out on a few occasions with 7 to 8 pretty famous people.
@bradley totally get what u are saying. I was an average joe from New York who met 5 famous mafia guys several times. 2 world class rock stars. 1 of the most famous tennis players ever. And i grew up with a few guys who intimidated most mid level drug dealers and they also were known by cops whose jurisdictions were 20 and 30 miles away.
I'm down. It does happen. (Except maybe that Marilyn Monroe thing? 😂😅) But who knows? Scott Weiland once ran up behind me, dipped me and shoved his tongue down my throat before I knew who the hell it was and had the chance to reciprocate. 😭🥹🥺🫣😭😭😭😭😛 All true. Just never asked me to help him find Mary's cigarette in the bathtub. Damnit.
@alivstyson1864 yea but did you sleep with them kill with them, and were they all offering you their services and into their inner circle for just being there?
I've known so many colorful characters, including acrobats and varying entertainment pros, and special ops/Secret Service/mob vets....I feel like this guy is telling the truth with only enough embellishments to satisfy his enthusiastic nature. People who live "unbelievable" lives...are gonna sound unbelievable. He doesn't talk much about the dues he paid, the details of his down moments, but he gets to celebrate surviving.
This guy is a master story teller . I’ve heard his life story before on another channel but he’s so good at it I’ll listen again ! Some of the things he says I’ve heard from other sources as well so I believe the guy . What a life !
You believe at 12 years old, with one hand he completely impaled a man with a wooden stick from below the ribs, all the way out his upper back & the guy was running around spraying blood? Ok, I have 2 bridges in New Jersey for sale.
During dinner my family often had the TV on to watch the evening news with Walter Cronkite. That night the lead story was that Marilyn Monroe had been found dead of an apparent suicide. After Cronkite made his announcement my Mother began to cry. No not a soft whimpering cry. No, it was a wailing, keening cry of abject sorrow. She stood up, slammed her napkin onto her plate and started to leave the room. All of us were dumbfounded. My Father said, “Audie, what is the matter?” She replied as she went into the bedroom, “those G-D Kennedy’s. She was my friend.” At 32:40 Gianni tells us Marilyn was in a foster home. That home belonged to my Grandparent’s where my Mother met and became friends with Marilyn Monroe, then Norma Jean. Gianni confirms what my Mother somehow knew. JFK and RFK had it coming. Karma’s a b**ch.
I have known Gianni for 30 years. He is telling the truth. While we were spending time on Mars; during secret government teleport-travel, he showed me all the receipts.
I normally can’t do more than 5-10 minutes of a video without getting bored and turning it off. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and stayed for the whole thing. What an amazing life Mr Russo has had.
Gianni Russo was standing next to the shooter when Kennedy was shot. He was also with the astronauts when they landed on the moon. This man has experienced everything
Ask him if he knew Danny Stradella. My mother and I were visiting New York City in 1971 and we went to Danny’s Hideaway for lunch. The waiter gave us Danny’s phone number and when we got back to our hotel, my mother called and a limousine picked us up, took us to Jillys, and we later had drinks with Danny and Robert Strauss, then he gave us his front row table at the Copacabana. He expected nothing in return. We went back to Minnesota and talked about our trip for years. Oh and we also met Rodney Dangerfield and his agent at Dangerfields.
A liars story is always consistent, someone who's telling the truth always some sort of inconsistencies. I know sounds weird but watch Cia or fbi agents on psychology.
His stories have been told with alot of people still alive, including a book he released in 2017. Nothing has been contested, and no lawsuits. And lawsuits are a dime a dozen these days. I think this provides strength to his story.
People have still challenged some of his claims . He said the mob blew the front gates off of Paramount studio . Michael Franzese has said he never ever heard of that happening . Russo made a claim about the late Frank Cullotta . That Cullotta and Tony Spilotro were at a club with him . Cullotta had said that was impossible as he was in witness protection at the time Russo had this club .
I just stumbled across this video and I love it because I love history. I heard him mention how the five families got started but didn’t catch every word he said could someone please mention that again that is just so cool it is American history
" Pablo Escobar started smashing a copy of The Godfather book over my head and later we became very good friends. Can you believe this shit !? True story " --Gianni Russo.
Remember everyone how old he is how long he’s been the trusted kid. That innocence many didn’t ever experience. I did in the same way.When your young and trusted totally by your actions everyday the entire world opens up around you just like his life. Truly an incredible story..! Thank you for the interview..!
How did you get better from polio? " By getting a job at a bakery, i get up at 4am, lifting 50#bags of flour. Building my body." I shampooed Marilyn Monroes hair, before she married Joe DiMaggio, that was like june 12th 1960 at 2:37 pm it was a Tuesday.
No, That's reality. The way that physical threapy and exercise became a main method for recovery was that Sister Kenney led a rebellion against orthodox medicine which was totally ineffective against Polio, out side of a Iron lung.....
He told the same story to me and my friends in Puerto Rico and then again years later in Washington D.C. What Gianni wasn’t aware of is that I lived in Medellin and Barranquilla Colombia and had traveled the country quite a bit so I was very familiar with the geography. When I asked him basic questions about Bogotá he couldn’t answer. He said he met Escobar in a church ⛪️ in Bogotá and Pablo invited him to his home. This would have been a huge risk because the dates of when he said he met him; Escobar was public enemy # 1 and he resided in Medellin where it was easy to control law enforcement. Pablo also bombed a federal building in Bogota and had killed a judge. But then he told the same story except this time he said he met Pablo in a restaurant in Medellin. He’s a fantastic story teller and entertainer. Much of what he says is left up to the audience to believe or not believe.
@@pjuggleTo say nothing of the fact that Escobar couldn’t speak English and his prison wasn’t built yet at the time of his Las Vegas shooting. He tells colorful stories unfortunately he’s short on details and NONE of these interviews ask the slightest follow up questions so he freewheels with the facts.
Yeah I like this guy,not sure why but he tells a story on top of another story on top of another story and on and on. And yet it all seems believable. It's difficult to decipher and discern but it's enjoyable at the same.time.
26:36 tosh plumlee was a CIA pilot who flew secret missions. He went on record stating the day of the assassination he was told to fly 3 men to Dallas, Texas. One of those men was E Howard Hunt (later to participate in the watergate scandal) and another was Johnny Rosselli.
Very entertaining. Never let the facts get in the way of a good yarn. And Mr Russo is a master of the good yarn. Enjoyed that. Great storyteller. Interesting life.
@@StephenVardarodude he literally said carlo Gambino told him when he was 12 “ just so you know whenever you wanna be made let me know you just proved yourself” carlo forsure didn’t tell him that carlo wouldn’t of been talking about that to anyone outside of that life especially to a damn 12 year old
Franzese was married to a woman with whom he had three children.[34] While married, John had gotten Cristina Capobianco, a 16-year-old cigarette girl at the Stork Club in Manhattan, pregnant with his son Michael Franzese. Capobianco then married Frank Grillo, to avoid having a scandal surrounding having a child out of wedlock. Wikipedia
Ya man. Pablo Escobar? Really? Pablo tortured him? I saw that part in another video and was like 'Nope, no way'. I didn't even make it through the video.

Hopefully they’re not that guible. He continues to add to his repertoire of stories on each podcast. He’s a politically incorrect dinosaur with a vivid imagination. Spewing slang to defame gay, Asians and Jewish people…unbelievable. Shameful
My step dad drove tour buses for a time in 1968 for his moms boyfriends bus company. 1 tour was to the taping of the "Let's Make a Deal" game show. After RFK was shot, and Sihan Sirhan was all over the tv news, pop's told us " I saw that guy at the game show taping 2 days earlier, he was sitting 2 rows down in front of me/us, he had put on black leather gloves" !! Which is what stood out in dad's mind, besides his face/hair, why is this guy putting on gloves?
I wish these boys would keep their mouths shut & let Gianni tell his story. They do not know how to just sit there and listen. The manner in which they continuously interrupt him shows not only are they not paying attention, but also disrespect. I would like to see someone else have Gianni on their channel and let him tell his story with no interruptions. Mark Laita, whoes channel is Soft White Underbelly, would be excellent. My personal opinion only. May Peace be upon us all.
Don't know how long ago this interview was done, but I knew him when he was in vegas in the 80's. I was a auto mechanic at the time and did a brake job on his Bentley. At that time, he owned Burbon Street. In vegas lived in the condos off paradise. When I was done with the brake job, I went to his condo, and he's on the balcony, counting money from a duffle bag. He had a clipboard and was dividing up the 100.50.20.10.5. I've never seen that much cash at 1 time. He asked what the total was, and I said about 900. Without blinking, an eye hands me 1000. Extra 100 for delivery of the Bentley. BTW. he looked like he dos in this interview. Crazy how he hasn't aged.
I was born in the Bronx, - Italian and Irish neighborhood. Summer 1949 I was 4 1/2 years old. I still remember not being able to go to Orchard beach because of the polio epidemic. Even though we lived in a 2 family house, Summers were long and hot then without air-conditioning . I knew that children were paralyzed, but never knew that they were dying from polio. I suppose my parents didn't want to frighten me. I do remember walking thru Belview hospital polio ward with my mother and seeing a corridor of heads sticking out of 6 foot metal cans. It scared me. They were polio victims in iron lung machines. Many of my neighbors were in the construction business, and came from Sicily . There were children of certain families that my parents would not allow me to play with. Looking back as an adult, with adult wisdom, I suspect they were children of mob families. As an adult a part of me admires the mob, because they have strong family values, and protect their own They have a code of ethics that makes sense. Gianni Russo talks a lot. The NYC mob elite that I remember was silent. The real mob elite were silent and never gave interviews
Bulger is only the basis for the character who is named Frank Costello. Scorsese just gave the character a mobster's name from days gone by. Just to confuse things further, Costello is an Irish name, so when the Cosa Nostra boss Frank Costello changed his name from Francesco Castiglia to Frank Costello, he was adopting an Irish surname. Fuhgeddaboudit
Gianni Russo quotes “After I kissed Carlo Gambino with toungue I felt like it was because Monroe was jealous of my sex appeal,so I told Jack Ruby take care of that thing with that guy Mink” actual excerpt from his book “I’m totally insane and delusional” bye Gianni Russo the man who made Sonny Franzese
You know something, when Mr. Russo says any mobster that walks outside in robe to get the news paper and not get whacked is unreal. Just a middle age lady who did watch the Soprano's every time Tony went out to get the newspaper I would hold my breath thinking he would get shot.
@@DarknessIsSpreading_01for real?? I know he said he slept with Monroe when he was like 15 or something ridiculous but to seriously play Toni Soprano??? Was he going to be 67+ when Aj was born lol wtf

After RFK was shot, and Sihan Sirhan was all over the tv news, pop's told us " I saw that guy at the game show taping 2 days earlier, he was sitting 2 rows down in front of me/us, he had put on black leather gloves" !! Which is what stood out in dad's mind, besides his face/hair, why is this guy putting on gloves?
This guy is amazing and has more than 9 lives!
I wish these boys would keep their mouths shut & let Gianni tell his story.
They do not know how to just sit there and listen.
The manner in which they continuously interrupt him shows not only are they not paying attention, but also disrespect.
I would like to see someone else have Gianni on their channel and let him tell his story with no interruptions.
Mark Laita, whoes channel is Soft White Underbelly, would be excellent.
My personal opinion only.
May Peace be upon us all.
Cool interview ❤
He's the forest Gump of the mob and rat pack meetings
Don't know how long ago this interview was done, but I knew him when he was in vegas in the 80's. I was a auto mechanic at the time and did a brake job on his Bentley. At that time, he owned Burbon Street. In vegas lived in the condos off paradise. When I was done with the brake job, I went to his condo, and he's on the balcony, counting money from a duffle bag. He had a clipboard and was dividing up the 100.50.20.10.5. I've never seen that much cash at 1 time. He asked what the total was, and I said about 900. Without blinking, an eye hands me 1000. Extra 100 for delivery of the Bentley. BTW. he looked like he dos in this interview. Crazy how he hasn't aged.
Great honesty! Bravissimo Meistro
You have to answer for Santino Carlo.
Lol Jack Ruby already been in Texas and had established businesses for decades before the JFK incident
This was a remarkable podcast. I wished you had asked him if the umbrella man opened his umbrella as a signal to shoot from the sewer drain.
This guy has a BIG MOUTH & I'm surprised he's still with us.
WHAT A COOL INTERVIEW WITH MARILYN MONROE! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Legend in his own mind
I was born in the Bronx, - Italian and Irish neighborhood. Summer 1949 I was 4 1/2 years old. I still remember not being able to go to Orchard beach because of the polio epidemic. Even though we lived in a 2 family house, Summers were long and hot then without air-conditioning . I knew that children were paralyzed, but never knew that they were dying from polio. I suppose my parents didn't want to frighten me. I do remember walking thru Belview hospital polio ward with my mother and seeing a corridor of heads sticking out of 6 foot metal cans. It scared me. They were polio victims in iron lung machines. Many of my neighbors were in the construction business, and came from Sicily . There were children of certain families that my parents would not allow me to play with. Looking back as an adult, with adult wisdom, I suspect they were children of mob families. As an adult a part of me admires the mob, because they have strong family values, and protect their own They have a code of ethics that makes sense. Gianni Russo talks a lot. The NYC mob elite that I remember was silent. The real mob elite were silent and never gave interviews
The Departed is supposed to be about Whitey Bulger Irish not Frank Costello Italian...
He’s confused because jack nicholson played frank costello 🤣
Bulger is only the basis for the character who is named Frank Costello. Scorsese just gave the character a mobster's name from days gone by. Just to confuse things further, Costello is an Irish name, so when the Cosa Nostra boss Frank Costello changed his name from Francesco Castiglia to Frank Costello, he was adopting an Irish surname. Fuhgeddaboudit
Yeah! Frank; Lou's cousin
How did these guys get the interview? They know nothing about Wiseguys
Or.... Hoover, the Kennedys, Monroe, etc
Russo accepts any and all interview requests.
You gotta give it to him. He’s a good fiction storyteller.
Did you two ever think of doing your homework prior on the major names that he was mentioning??
Lmfao
Apparently NOT
No disrespect to Russo, but the only person who thinks Russo is a major name is Russo himself.
Best story teller and wish for us to talk about it anytime !
he met a guy named Jonas Salk...gave him a recipe...the rest is history
His stories on Marilyn Monroe are confusing....😮
Maybe because he himself is confused.
Wow such great stories.. so awesome
Excellent interview. I love Russo . Old school gangster ❤
Gianni Russo quotes
“After I kissed Carlo Gambino with toungue I felt like it was because Monroe was jealous of my sex appeal,so I told Jack Ruby take care of that thing with that guy Mink” actual excerpt from his book “I’m totally insane and delusional” bye Gianni Russo the man who made Sonny Franzese
And how do you know it not to be true? Is his life to much for you?
😂
Excellent 😊
Come on. Now he's rehearsing lines with Pablo.
He is saying the truth about Hoover !
You know something, when Mr. Russo says any mobster that walks outside in robe to get the news paper and not get whacked is unreal. Just a middle age lady who did watch the Soprano's every time Tony went out to get the newspaper I would hold my breath thinking he would get shot.
Gianni was offered the Tony Soprano role !! - Gianni Russo
Not true! put the pipe down!
@@leemontoya8028 Gianni said it on his own podcast !
@@DarknessIsSpreading_01 send it to me!
@@DarknessIsSpreading_01 lolol
@@DarknessIsSpreading_01for real?? I know he said he slept with Monroe when he was like 15 or something ridiculous but to seriously play Toni Soprano??? Was he going to be 67+ when Aj was born lol wtf
This is like a grandfather entertaining two year old grandchildren. They really have no clue.
Anthony fauci needs to take a lesson that's all I'm saying😢
Sirhan Sirhan did not kill RFK.
Scattered interview. Two tips: Stay on subject unless the Interviewee changes it and never interrupt. We could have gotten some great stories here.
So interesting to hear
Gianni sounds like every single Millennial I have ever met.
how old are you?
"Costello gave me a million dollars. Can you believe it?"
Amazing story teller. I believe him.
