WHO ARE WE?
Original Gangsters, a true crime talk podcast explores crime and culture, and finds the nexus behind everyone's favorite true crime movies, TV shows, and music. Hosts Scott Burnstein, true crime author and investigative journalist, and Dr. James Buccellato, true crime author and social scientist bring you exclusive interviews with former organized crime associates, law enforcement, as well as actors and musicians. Hear true stories from people who were there, in the 'life.'
Scott, one of your best guests ever. The historical/social discussion of the American Mafia was high level. You need to have Mr. Ferrante on again for sure. The dignity and class that he demonstrates exemplifies in many ways the reason the Mafia, in its origins, so captivated so many. The essence of the men of honor that your guest explains as being primary to the secret society put to shame the nonsense that so permeates social media in the “mafia” genre. Thanks for putting me on to Mr. Ferrante, I will definitely be picking up his books.
What a refreshing interview! Finally someone who doesn't tell on everyone else to get out from underneath their reprehensible crimes!
Louis is a Hardcore man. Unbreakable will. I'm reading Borgata now....what an education! Mad Dog Sweeney 🐕
Hey Scott - Best interview I've seen you do by a country mile! Lou is a phenomenal person and the embodiment of what being reformed looks and sounds like!! Please try to let your guest speak without stepping all over him though 🙏. Can't wait for the next one.....
It's refreshing to hear from someone who's actually been through it!!! So tired of the NACS
Your a fookin dreamer son!🙄
Louis is my favorite ex mobster that has been public. Lou is a very intelligent guy and he changed his life for the better and I respect that
Excellent guest Scott. So refreshing to see someone who isn’t a RAT. Louis is a stand up guy, not like some of these other pantywaists on YT.
Anyone who talks on RUclips about the life is a rat! Thats breaking omertà! Supposed to be secret society. Total joke. Not supposed to admit it exists
This guy is the real deal! loved this interview.
Scott this is one of your best interviews to date. You really gotta be Louis back on.....Damn good guest.
Great interview! Finally someone that doesn't "want to be an upstanding citizen now" only because they were caught and that is their excuse for ratting.
Great interview Scott ,one of the best I"ve ever seen.
Louis is a guy who every young person should model there life after. Not the mob life. The life of him being a man and not telling on people and having respect for his elders and doing your own research to come up with your own conclusion. And if you do the crime then you should expect to do the time. Which he was willing to do. He took the oath and was ready to die for the oath. He was a man and asked to be out if he ever got out of prison. Which he is doing now. Best interview OG has ever done. A man's man.
Finally not a rat 🐀
so what if they are or not, why can't you learn from both sides? i wanna know buddy
@@greenbay123100 I don’t think it’s ok to do crimes with your friends and get caught then point fingers. You know a lot of these rats lie about things still murder deal drugs under government protection. I’d rather not know then have these guys running the streets and talking about there murders on RUclips. Look at Sammy 19 murders 1 kid that ok got out dealt drugs. Rubio got caught lying saying he did more crimes under the government than being on the streets. They all say o I hate that life they didn’t think like that until they get caught. So it’s ok to let out Jeff dahmer to learn from him …….that is a stupid way of looking at it. No we go to the jail and interview him not let him back on the streets. How about me and you do a crime together we hang out be each other kids god fathers then I get caught and blame it all on u how would u like that. Stop glorifying murders it’s not kool!
Vincent!%%
Great interview! A true man's man louis Ferrante !!
“If you inform, you never give yourself a chance to reform”.
Wow that’s so true. I think out of all the guys who have cooperated that I’ve heard speak- the only one who truly strikes me as someone who’s reformed and wants nothing to do with that life is Phil Leonetti. The last interview he did was what? 5-6 years ago now? Lol. He’s not on RUclips talking about the crimes they did or how special he was. He’s actually changed who he was. Everyone else sounds like they’d go back to that life in a heartbeat if given the chance. I’m not blaming them, it’s who they are. But just don’t preach to me about whatever good you’re trying to peddle nowadays. Ppl can see right thru it.
This is an amazing interview and I got the mob rules on Audible right away. Do you think he will release borgata on audible ??!!
Absolutely fantastic guest! Wonderful episode! I am definitely gonna check out his books. I am blind, so I hope there are some audio options!
Great podcast Scott, as always
Wow, Scott never learns. We’ve all been saying it for a very long time now. Quit interrupting all of your guests. It’s annoying, ruins good interviews, and makes me not want to watch them anymore. I couldn’t get through this despite the guest being great.
Stfu 🤡 Scott is solid as they come
I was In fci Milan when the family secrets trial took off. In o9 in a library in east Nashville I found lou's first book, I've met Chicago made guys, new York, an 1 decavacante guy, locked up in the feds, I was from a small Midwest town, caught a fed case at 18, did my time, walked away, but with a book worm habit. Lou's og book is the best mafia book ever written. N he was only an associate! I can't wait to buy lou's new books! Support him! Such a good dude, never met him but he thinks like I do N did!
Lou can be as big as he wants to be… every time Iv ever heard him speak for over ten years Iv felt that way
Great interview, really interesting guy
👍
Might be your best interview.
Please get him back on. That went by way to fast 😢😢
Home run interview Scott! 313!
Very impressive Louis Ferrante. ALL GLORY to GOD for your transformation. Only THE GOOD LORD provides this transformation. GOD BLESS and good for you Sir.🙏❤️
Scott please let your guests speak STOP speaking over them it’s rude and we want to hear what they have to say come on man show some respect
He won’t. Everyone says it. He ignores his fans. Sad
it’s his show
@@doug7474not that deep mate just enjoy the interview 😂😂 embarrising
Word!
Relax bro
Great interview Scott
About time someone who is not a gene borello or alite
You talk all you want to Scott. That's what conversing is. I watch, and listen to OG PODCAST, and let friends if mine, know about the show. Like to chop it up with you someday.
Gene borello said Ronnie G didn’t play about his money that’s contradictory to what this guy saying
This guy is real I like this guy . He tells it how it is 💯
Good interview.🎉 :)
Great detailed interview.
Great story and both are you well respected in my eyes.
Well spoken guest 👍🏻👍🏻
Dudes incredibly intelligent and articulate
Great great interview
Thank You 🙏 Scott
Lou great interview 👏 👍
Great interview . Ferrante is the real deal super smart
This Gentleman Is Of One Of One Gem Of A Man Love Is Interviews Speaks From Is Heart I Can Tell Real man Love Is Heart He Never Rated🇮🇹🤌🏻🍷
Guys on RUclips publicly talking about secret society but would rather die than be a rat? Really guy?
Stand up guy all the way..i know the rats hate to hear a guy on RUclips that didn't turn his balls in.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉God bless you.
Very good interview
Love this podcast.... but for the love of god let the guest talk. Scott is a encyclopedia of knowledge for sure!!! But, the constant interupting... but , i still love this show and scott and jimmys chemistry is great... huge fan
Encyclopaedia 😂😂😂😂
That’s one thing Scott can’t do is shut up!!! You wishing upon a star buddy lol 😂
There’s a delay over Skype. It’s not intentional
Great video
Stand up man
Very interesting interview. But I couldn’t stop hearing a younger Christopher Walken with his accent lol.
This guy still thinks he’s a gangster. These guys may have spent money on their clothes but they were pure tacky.
Great interview
This was Awesome
Really great one
TOO many tough guys kidding themselves they would never rat simply because they have YET to be facing LIFE in prison. That changes everything and 87.4% of these guys would "rat" under that pressure..... It's all about that pressure.
Damn, this guy is a 💎 and extremely intelligent.
Guest is great
They all say they'd rather be dead than be a rat while they are on the street and still have their freedom or if they get a small amount of prison time. But then when faced with life impisonment it becomes "I'd rather be a rat than spend my life in here. Maybe I could even write a book and have my own RUclips channel. I wouldn't be the first guy to do it". Lol
Really interesting guy. Great vid, as usesss.
This guy is good and great interview
Lou never ratted because he didn’t know anything serious!
Louie ferrante has great stories👍
Great interview. Only thing I would say is just catch yourself when you wanna start talking over them cause you have knowledge on the subject. But other than that once or twice this was terrific. Absolutely on the short list of your best if not your best interview
Flushing OG
Noone knew him
Ya im sure youd rather die then beca rat. Any person that says that would flip in a heartbeat. Only reason Louis never flipped was cuz 1. He was barely an associate if anything. 2. He had nothing to offer the feds. He was basically a thief who didnt even have the chance to do his "big heist". Tbh n im sry if it sounds offensive, back then, Louis would be a mechanic shop n flea market owners bff cuz he would just steal a few loads thst only those custoners would want
And how do you know all this when you're probably in a flea market right now selling pickles. they don't hit you with three indictments at once unless you know things they want to know. I was away with him, he's solid as they come and i been rooting for him ever since, unlike jealous dudes who never achieved anything but knocking off a two liter in two hours. you should list your achievements so we all know who we're hearing from
Rather Die than be a rat, then continues to do interviews about the Mob after he took Omerta!
The problem wit these guys like lou is he doesn’t respect rats but he respects Jr who is a rat .. these guys pick n choose.. you talk about these guys make excuses , but then your making an excuse for Jr smh
Agreed mate, hey.....does Dom know ur here? Hahaha
@@LONEWOLF78. your the second person that said something about dom , Scott been my guy since the beginning, I listen to all these guys for stories n entertainment. I can listen to anybody , I don’t have to limit who I listen to cus I listen to one or the other . I’m hear for stories n entertainment I don’t take this stuff as serious as everybody else honestly
@@xavierjames8085 I listen to quite a few as well but...it was a joke mate. Wow.
The Mob guys owned most of the junk yards in Queens especially in the willets point section.also known for chop shops back in the day
@@LONEWOLF78. lol yes I know it was a joke ..
the phone brings me to these videos
Absolute fool of course he,d take 200 years no drama WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES RIDDICULESS COMMENT !%%
Thats until they hit you with those football numbers.
So…this guys said he doesn’t rat…” me and Ronnie G hijacked trucks”….Ronnies mom hid my guns
He's talking about 35 years ago, the statute is 5 years, and he still aint saying antyhing the feds dont already know
It seems like your a little worried about blabbing your friends business on you tube. It was 35 years ago, his mother's dead, its nothing the feds don't know blah blah blah. Is it really worth selling out your friend for a few book sales? The poor guy is probably on his bunk with flames coming out of his ears looking at these videos. The lies, the desperate blabs for clout, the disregard for other people's freedom, it's like doing the right thing only to keep your name good and then ruining it in a desperate attempt at fame and fortune by talking like a 7 year old on 2 espressos and a candy bar. It's sad to watch. Anyway good luck with the book. I'm sure you'll find some "Best seller" list to squeeze it on. 🤣👍
29:44 John is stripped of all those guys … but he needs someone from Brooklyn to be his eyes and ears … and it was Frankie D … until what happen to him in 86. So he had to pick someone and the person was Sammy
😃 I pity this pretender. Aren't real guys supposed to keep quiet. Hey this is considered by anyone to be Ratting. Just like Sammy. How did you only do 9 years after facing life, Hmmmm.
I already know this will be a great interview so shout out to Scott but Before I watch this I jus wanna say hes been in a million interviews all of a sudden an in every new interview hes adding things to stuff he said in other interviews or saying oh well this is what I was told .. idk I respect him being stand up but ppl gotta understand the mob has protocols even soliders aren’t in the know so for him not being a member saying things .. I’m happy Sammy addressed his bs story n what Sammy said in response was spot on .. everybody is coming out the woodworks using the biggest names Sammy , gotti .. I think Jeff said it best isn’t it weird that all these guys know the most popular n famous names , yet somehow none of them know eachother .. there were thousands of made men why do none of these guys know Joe blow from over here or a guy ppl never heard of .. it’s jus weird
I think you answered your own questions here..
Lot of difference to being an aged man than a rough tough mafia kid. Junior seemed wiser because he learnt over the years as anyone does. I mean I was dumb as rocks in my twenties, I can deal with so many situations better now. It's normal and when he had the moniker the 'dopey don'. He was to the manor born. So people probably expected too much of someone so young. He did come across very astute in recent interviews, I agree. Senior only became the boss as an older wiser man himself. I guess some people are blessed with wisdom very young, but the majority learn from mistakes. There is a reason the skipper or coach in a sports team has grey hair! Seen it all before and has more options than a hard headed youth!
Saving this for tmmr thanks
Scott, damn bro who was in the mob you or him?! Wow! 🤦🏽♂️✌🏽
Let's offer life or you reconcile what you just said on this video
They all say they wouldn’t rat but soon as there looking at life sentences it soon changes lol
How is jr not a rat??? How lol 😂 he he cooperated
Sounds like mobster version of Christopher Walken
Lou Is totally correct at the 28 min mark .
GREAT 👍 INTERVIEW CUMBA 'S
You ever think about interviewing Ruggino jr?
Tell us about Hoffa Scott. Damn
yes please let your guests talk, bad interview tactics dude
Scott has to show how much he knows,.He reads alot
Sammy would have never risen like he did if Frankie DeCicco didn’t die. It just fell right for him.
Wow this Louis loves to hear himself talk. He’s VERY fond of himself. Are you sure he didn’t rat? He runs his mouth ad naseum
Junior didn’t take a plea he cooperated
Is it me or can you hear someone snoring during this interview
but he's ratting by being on this video right now...
Good one.
I thought Louis wasn’t a made man thought he was just an associate at best
Why do people care who’s made or not it doesn’t matter . Some guys have more power without the button the button is a target . Who cares
He never said he was made lol. That doesn’t diminish the childhood he had and the experiences and relationships he built in that life. It’s just a ceremony.
the enemy might be a guy named jerry
All his books are written at a 3rd grade level
Hope 2 see you on the Chatting With Staxx !
I'm always struck by examples of ex-felons who spent years educating themselves. There's a certain value in combining years of lived experience ('street wisdom') with years of academic study. And they're often capable of remarkable achievements
Strictly having academic intelligence with no life experience really isn’t that valuable lol. You need both. Ex cons are some of the most well rounded ppl you’ll meet
@@BostonsF1nest yeah that's the point i'm making, ex cons are some of the best examples of why you need both.
im no killer or thief just felt my life or maybe my families life might be in a real danger i never wanted nor asked for
The only rat that admits they punked out and did a punk move cause they couldn’t handle the time and couldn’t handle being in solitary is Mikey Scars. The rest of the rats there ego won’t allow them to admit it.
great show scott all the best ...
Scot the million dollar question, would Lee Cole approve of this X gangster they’ll definitely make or break him. The great man Lee Cole & good old paperboy, James proctor T decide whether this X gangster
Is telling the truth or will they disallow people to legitimise this dude? It’s up to Lee Cole to decide whether he will allow this eggs gangster to join the mob genre
PS I’m taking the piss out of the Lee Cole lol
