It hit different when Skinny Merlino welcomes Vlad to VladTv. 😂
Do your homework on Skinny Joey
yes! instantly took over. a few seconds in 😂
Welcome to a conversation with a REAL stand up guy, not all the REAL RATS!
Lol
I had to rewind it
You don’t welcome Joey. Joey welcomes you.
That's tha only thing he knows
😂😂😂😂😂
lol
Its a Philly thing
😂😂
Things we learned about Joey Merlino:
1. He dislikes rats
2. He reads the paper
Funny how anytime Vlad mentions someone being killed, Joey immediately says “I dunno nothing about that” and then provides an alibi.
Joey don’t know nuthin about anythin!! Not just murder
Murders don't have statute of limitations. Joey is an old school Italian street guy and a perpetual target of the feds like Gotti, but he clearly knows how to move and enjoy his life without needing to incriminate himself for his ego like other imbeciles.
@@citypopradioFMThat whole generation of men like him have stopped being made sadly. Driven, family oriented, loyal, strong, their words actually mean something. If they say the are going to do something, they do. The list goes on. Seeing what Philadelphia has turned into is really tragic. I wish that the tables would turn and Philly could be brighter 😉 😉
Nothing but Respect for Joe!
Don’t make them like him anymore
About damn time we get to hear from a man WHO NEVER RATTED. Has absolutely no immunity and still comes on.
Because he has Lost His Mind.
Sad.
Joey has always been a stand up guy. He would play sports and wouldn’t let his team say anything if the Umpire or referees would be cheating lol
And can tell no story thlo
The guy is full of shit!!
@@ViniciusDeFurio No he hasn't what are you on about?
Vlad: so he planted a bomb underneath your car several times but it never went off
Joey: I guess he didn’t know what the f*ck he was doing 😂😂
Vlad went home and got his shinebox after this interview.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
LoooooooooooooooooooooooooL
💪😂👍
This is gold, you interviewed an actual active, stand-up Mob Boss that didn't give any incriminating statements 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🫡🫡🫡
He really isn't that active though and that's actually reality, not just his "I don't know nothing" routine. He lives mostly in florida now and the philly mob is a skeleton of what It was.
Anyone who believes any of these "gangsters" that come on TV and openly talk about this shit is a moron. Do you really think that's how it works? The real guys wouldn't let you record them. And they wouldn't talk to anyone about it.
Vlad: So talk to me about your parents
Joey: "There was a man and a woman living in the same house with me since i was born, allegedly"
"Who says I have any parents? I dunno nuthin about that"
“Been around em my whole life but I have no idea who they are. Seriously. The fucks have been tryna get me my whole life and I didn’t even do shit to em. Never said a word to them a day in my life.”
🤣🤣😭😭
He wants to talk about about all the people Vlad interviews he can't get them all mad at him
This guy is the real deal.
how dare Vlad keep asking this outstanding citizen about all these crimes and mafia that he obviously knows nothing about
Lmao dude stood his ground haha. Got stories for days if your the right person
When is the public going to understand how this works. They find the right guy with a vowel at the end of his name and the feds NEVER stop. It’s all for headlines and career advancement. Sickening
Give me a break he doesn’t know anything ,,,my ass he doesn’t know anything ,he couldn’t not
@@SayerofThings Yeah..all these guys with a Vowel at the end are innocent and Never did Nuttin!
What a mistake, Joey just wanted to talk about his youth without an air conditioner, because theyalways out in nature; and this interviewer suddenly talks to him about crime and people he barely knows they are of male gender. Like scarfo, you know. he honestly answered, yes i new him, he was a man,.......,... i think hahahaha
"You got a book maker for me" 😂😂 Joey is the definition of stand up guy he's from the old school and cut from a different cloth...
Finally a real Gangster ❤😮😊
Joey is solid AF….. 💯
How Joey Responding to Djvlad is like he's been interviewed with the FBI agent
nah, he grew peace for peace becoming more and more funny and secure;)
He is a FBI agent
Merlino is the Real deal.
He doesn't know anything, but he knows everything.
Brilliant.
Forgetaboutit!
He don't know nothin' about nothin'.
He’s definitely the real deal. Coming from south jersey. Joey definitely gave to his community
Yeah...hearing "I don't know, I never knew him., never did that..." makes for a great story🙄
@@gregoryhawsjr3479 Big Deal...a bunch of Turkeys each year? Added to all the crime..Great guy!
Interview summary:
- Joey didn’t do nuthin
-Joey don’t know nuthin about it
- They’re all rats
😂😂😂😂😂💀
In a nutshell 😂
Basically
Exactly. I bet $20⁰⁰ this will be top comment from now on
How many people viewed this interview and joined Joeys Patron?
Just wondering if anyone is stupid enough to pay 15$ a month to listen to this guy 😂😂
"i dont wanna talk about the mob stuff, i wanna talk about rats" !!!! real stand up guy 🔥🔥💯💯
Gangster
“I gave turkeys out! He gave ecstasy out!” lol 😂😂😂😂
Nothin wrong with a happy Thanksgiving
You get a free turkey with “x” bought of X. 🤣
You know it’s gonna be fun when Joey welcomed Vlad to his own interview 😂
"Welcome" 😅😅
That's cuz he didn't know nothing bout that
Lmfaooooo 😂😂😂
😂😂
I thought he was saying you're welcome
Best Mob guest of all time. He don’t know nothing bout nothing.
Real legend Atlantic City to Philadelphia
Facts and the most solid
Not a fuckin rat
Lol
How it should be
Mafia?!? Wtf is that???
The most solid Mob guy Vlad has interviewed yet.
This guy does not F#$@ around, but his eyes tell a story. HE non stops blinks when he knows something
I noticed that too
It’s refreshing listening to a interview when vlad doesn’t get anywhere with his interrogation
he never does.
Amateur messing with a real pro
It's an interview . If you don't want to be asked questions don't sit down for an interview. This is dumb
He welcomed the host to his own podcast 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think this is the first time vlad has ever said "sorry go-head" when interviewing someone 😂
My man , keeping it g! Staying solid, something very few criminals know how to do this day
Finally a stand up guy that's not a rat gets a interview!!!!shout out to skinny joey!!!!!!
This is the most unintentionally hilarious interview I ever saw
Dude go look at the Phil Leonetti interview where he’s wearing a wig. It looks like an SNL skit.
I never take a bet in my life vlad I bet 350k vlad do you have a habit joey nah I been betting since I was 7 lol joey reminds of frank vincent aka Phil sopranos naturally witty even when he's serious
@@bbianciniIt’s hilarious he still does these interviews in disguise. As if anyone is going to murder him for ratting on anyone from 40 years ago, who are all dead anyway and potentially doing life in prison.
Great interview. I really enjoyed it .Thank you.
Do you think you have a gambling problem?
Answer: "I love to gamble."
Classic.
The fucking lawyer told me I was getting probation I got 21 years 😂😂
They want him like they wanted gotti
That’s how them lawyers be 😂😂
LMFAOOO
😅😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, but he only did a a couple how does that work out? You only get so much good time they don’t shave multiple years off for good time.
Vlad: "Oh, they charged you for that?"
Joey: "Yeah, I got acquitted"
Damn right I would be pissed too if someone brought something up that I was acquitted of
You make the best of it
Great interview
The positivity in this guy is through the roof, crazy humor 🎉😂
“i dont know nuttin about that”
“lets talk about the rats”
He said something about rats
When he said that he was working out with bank robbers from Boston
If they were locked up how are they rats 🤷♂️
@@katastrafika5253not everyone who testifies or informs, gets immunity, not even close
@@katastrafika5253Pretty sure he was talking about the terrorists being rats
@@GeraldGruenigMedia1oh ok
Cause them Charlestown kids are the most solid group out there
You never hear about any of them being rats
That’s Boston!!!!
Was waiting for this interview since started watching documentaries!
Great video; Interesting and informative
The most gangster interview ever
Yup and unintentionally hilarious. Comment section is killing me 😂😂
What about Ricky Rozay?
He no snitch
Definitely
If cosa nostra was a person
*Vlad: Okay, so, they say the sky is blue, is that true?*
*Joey: The sky? I don't know nothing about that.*
The new overloading tk meme huh?😂
@@QuestionsAnswerz a much better one. glad i don't hear about that guy anymore. whoever he was.
Joey gives the best interviews. The dude cracks me up.
SOLID AS THEY COME! Brilliant stuff
“He killed more people then cancer & been killing people since the 40s but he needed me to tell him to kill someone” 😂😂😂 fucking had me crying 😭
He reminds of frank vincents aka Phil naturally funny even when he's serious and telling a stories he's got wit Ron previte he's so fat when he goes to court they threw him out overweight vlad was he a cop joey a cop he robs black people yeah he robs them the throws them down the step what a beaut
Nah the “I’ll fight mayweather he can shoot at me I’m the ring for 30 million I don’t give a fuck”
😂
Time stamp?
He is ridiculously funny !
FINALLY the full episode 🤘
Forget about it
Allegedly
@@williamshakespeare9815 😂😂😂 best response/comment
took long enough, posting one 3 or 4 minute clip every few days
All rats
Vlad: Is the sky blue?
Joey: I dunno, I dunno anything about that.
22:02 "I got acquitted,make sure you put that on here"-damn,Skinny was serious about that😂
Finally showing how Philly moves and not the same tired New York stories we have seen and heard a million times
Same thing for Cleveland. You never hear of any stories except maybe a few on Danny Green but always hear the same New York ratting stories over and over and over
@@jeffrobinson6987well that’s cuz neither of them could move without NY’s blessing…
@@Nahhhhhhson SO not true.
👍🏻
Philly don’t move like this, this is how Joey moves. Quick to claim a mafia boss, but won’t claim meek? You don’t get to pick and choose
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this interview yo. He said I don’t know to everything 😅
This guy is the real deal. Zero question, this man is the epitome of la cosa nostra. I enjoy listening to Sammy the Bull and Michael Franzese, but this guy knows how to conduct himself in a interview.
cosa nostra, everyone puts la cosa nostra which makes no sense translating to the our thing, its just cosa nostra no la included
@@richardwatkiss3444 cosa nostra is the original Sicilian mafia. LA cosa nostra is the Italian-American mafia. So they are different
“Thanks for agreeing to the interview we’re happy to have you here.”
“I’m not here and I didn’t agree to nothin.”
"what the fuck is a chair? I don't know nuttin about no sitting."
Lol
Allegedly
@@nemesis656 *leans into microphone.* I'd like to state for da record that I've never once breathed air in my life. Any allusions to it are based on speculation and lies.
Do you know DJ VLAD?
NO
I have never been so sure someone is in the mafia in my life lol
He's a philly legend
Before turning 30 he went to war against the Philadelphia bosses, 4 attempted murders and is still alive to (not) tell the story
@@Arthur-nj2ezhonorable legend icon
@@Arthur-nj2ezyup with NY backing them at the same time
He's not
Awesome podcast!
I lost it when he said ”If he walk in this room right now if have never seen him in my life“ 😂
This dude is a legend to most people in the philly area period.
Really question mark?
We love Joey in Jersey too 💯💯💯💯💯
Nick your not a man until you had a man and I have had some lovely little boys
@@rockybullshite927yep. if your looked as a “stand up dude” everyone fucks with him and respects his shit. most people at least.
@@rockybullshite927Joey has done free holiday meals, toys and bikes for kids, and other charitable endeavors for low-income families in Philly for decades. He still does them to this day. He's a respected man because he's solid all the way and enjoys being a man of the people. It's not an understatement to say he's indeed a Philly legend who's respected and well-liked. It's also why the feds hate him.
😂😂😂
Joey welcomed Vlad on Vlad TV!!!
That's a man's man!!!
Brooo😂😂😂dude been hittin on that gas 😂ion blame him 😂
Because he's the General.
Freaken hilarious!!!!!!
He’s use to being in charge
😂
"It was in the newspaper"😂😂😂
Classic.
He really through in a “Bing Bang Boom” 😂 old school shit
Vlad: So, you're born and raised in South Philly.
Joey: Allegedly. I don't know anything about that. Before my time.
😂😂😂😂
You where shot 3 times and your buddy dies in your arms is that correct allegedly shot and he allegedly died I don't know I was in another room the nurse told me vlad do you know the murderer nah I don't nothing allegedly it was big head anthony that mutt
F'n hilarious😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
*The Absolute Best Interview Vlad Was Ever Allowed To Have.*
First interview that Vlad was reserved on going back on answers lol…Joey is the best
Stand up guy
Loved the interview Vlad.
“He got life in prison he’s a good man” the last of a dying breed this guy. He don’t know nuffin.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
He tried to kill Nicky’s son!
@@Psyc1onusye well nicky tried to kill him (he got shot in the azz) and nicky killed his best friend Mikey Chang that same night.....Nicky was a wack job.....I live 2 blocks from where Joey lived lived here my entire life.....South Philly changed in 99 wen all these dudes got locked up.....
Joey Merlino really is the best Guy around!
This guy has a very strong tell, look at his eyes when he’s answering questions. He blinks a lot when nervous about the question but has a death stare when he’s being honest😂😂
4:35 lol
We need to get a card game with him, cash up front of course. 😅
Okay nurse. It’s a disorder, plenty of people have it. You have no clue what you’re talking about lol
I dunno about that, let's talk about rats.
He's not nervous, he's mostly irked at being asked potentially incriminating questions.
Couldn’t believe it when I saw the title and thumbnail. This was a funny one. Guys the real deal.
I am a south Philadelphia guy and Joey was respected by all from the softball team to the bad guys
What are some of the things you remember about Nicky? "he was always on time" lmao
Right 😂
Lol and he was
A good guy
I think he also said to remember to knew him and thinks scarfo was of male gender, allegedly. But listen, the important thing is, he has no gambling problem, you know?! He loves it!!! What a missunderstanding....
He was a good guy too
I’m from Chicago and I always had an affinity for Philadelphia. Ever since I went to visit my cousins in the Badlands neighborhood of North Philadelphia, I’ve been in love with Philly. There’s an amazingly large Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 community there, like Humboldt Park in Chicago. Shoutout to the whole Philadelphia.
My x was from the"go" but she was Mexican....she fit right in Chicago and philly are 2 cities where ulll b ok if u like that shot out to Chicago
I knew how solid it was b4 the drill shit
Grew up in the badlands - now live on Jackson street down the street from Joeys old house - love for chi town right back
Allegheny Ave bro I'm still here badlands all day
BadLandzzzzzzz 🫡
@@arthurgraham9109anything happening? Hmu..
Thank you VLADTV. That was one of the most entertaining interviews I’ve seen since Johnny Carson interviewed Bob Uecker about his Baseball career. I couldn’t stop laughing…”I wouldn’t know him if they dragged him in here right now!” Joey Merlino, the gift that keeps on giving.
It's amazing that past big time mafia guys are now celebrities. He's vey straight forward and you can see that he's tought.
i love how he handled himself
He’s like that 10/10 days
Tremendous moxie
Boss
Vlad: So Joey, tell me about your Dad.
Joey: Dad? Who's this "Dad" guy. I don't know any "Dad". I was locked up when they accused me of knowing him.
And yet, it'll go down as a classic 😂. Get Angelo Lutz on for more of the same.
Not intelligent of you Vlad to do this joke after sitting face to face with the guy recently. If this was 30 years ago, you would be taking a bath in an acid barrel 😅
lol
🤣🤣🤣
Omg Vlad 😂😂😂😂😂
Honesty appreciated.
Even if you stray into the grey zone in life due to circumstances, it does not mean that you are a mean person.
How joey kept stone faced with all the questions is beyond me 🤣 he deserves an Oscar. “Don’t know nothing about that”
As a body language expert I can tell you he is being 100% honest on the 3.2 questions he actually answered.
He ain’t rat and people like him don’t have a reason to lie!Dude did 20 years and never snitched on anyone!His actions speak louder than his words!
@@GoodFella-wi7gw Joey is THE MAN. He did a great job and I laughed hard.
@@GoodFella-wi7gw might not have a reason to lie, but they will embellish the fuck out of things. He looks like he'd stretch the truth a fair bit
Here we go 😂🤣😂🤣
@@professor.dickweed lmao Joey aint embellishing nothing. Quite the opposite.
"I'll fight Mayweather and he can shoot at me in the ring for 30 million." Lol! 😂😂 Merlino's bullet dodging skills are probably higher than Mayweathers boxing skills
That was Funny Lol, Lol😂😂
It's like Joey's answering questions in a police interrogation...This is probably how every conversation that he's involved in on a daily basis goes😆
Joeyy is the last of the real gangstas
Does this Vlad guy realize how many times he says the word OK???…
He says it so weird too
Sounds like it's AI it just seems so off lol
Glad someone else said this. Sounds like an automated voice.
hahahaha the little pause..... then.... Okaaay
@kristenreid4814 exactly it doesnt fit with the rest of his words 😆
@@MegaTkls like he types it into a computer then it speaks for him lol
The face of Joey everytime Glad mention the word "Mafia" 😂. It's the same face of Sosa when watching the reporter on tv exposing him and his friends on the movie Scarface 😂
😂😂
Hahahahahhahaa
Exactly
👌🏼😂
Facts 😂 he barely smiles straight mob boss
Dont know why they call this guy little joe merlino because he 's the biggest man iv'e ever seen on any of these gangster interviews and ive watch quite a few.from now on i declare him to be known as BIG Joe Merlino
He was known as Skinny Joey when I was growing up with him in the neighborhood
Great interview! Joey is so intriguing lol
This is one tough guy. There's no way Vlad will dissect him like he did Keefe D!
Exactly
What did I miss?
@@MrIlleismkefee d is in prison for 2pacs murder because of what he said on vlad tv
Daaammmnn I wasn’t even there homie daaaammnn
@@Ishbikes keefe d got knocked and put away for life for the murder of 2pac because he bragged about it on vlad and he’s the only guy still alive who was on the firing squad
VLAD: “Howed it feel having all these people trying to kill you?”
Joey: “it was alright” 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This line is hilarious. And I love that it's followed by:
VLAD: "You ever think you should move?"
Joey: "Na, why? I didn't do nothin!"
😂😂
Now that's gangster! 😅 My wussy self would've left the city!
😂 😊
It was alright I got in shape lol classic
Joey a real man. Man amongst men.
Joey what did you eat for dinner?
Joey: I dont know, I wasnt there.
They cooked it at 7pm before my time i read about in the newspaper.
😂😂😂
I don’t know 😂
I've heard of dinner.
For anyone curious, this is indeed the real deal.
Allegedly
Just out of curiosity if you listen in the beginning, I’m not making accusations but I’m no stranger to the system. How do you only do two years when you’re getting banged out for seven a lot of his minimum’s he did a quarter of the time. What does that make sense? That’s all I’m saying
Your not a man until you had a man
He is, wild too watch
@@Jerbo1125he got sentenced to more time but only served 2 and some change.
And the way he says, "Ok," sounds like a robot. 😂😂
0:15 lol did he welcome vlad to his own show? 😂🤣 “no no! You don’t welcome me I welcome you! I’m the boss! How you doing?! Welcome!”
The last legendary mobster of the 20th century
bareny bellomo too
The last of the has beensss
True . The others were rats
About time been waiting for this
Joey Merlino seems like an Honest Decent respectable Guy. God bless him for Keeping it 💯
I respect what you do for people with your podcast Joey and shout out to you and your people cuz there's a lot of people in jail for not shouldn't be there
Joey has the best podcast . No bullshit . The content is excellent. I am happy being a member on Patreon .
Joey: " I read about it".
.... allegedly....
Joey is as real as it gets.
À when he said “ don’t wanna talk about that ! None of that . Wanna talk about the 🐀s and flashed an evil smirk 😏 😂.
Welcomed the own host to his own show! Priceless
😂😂😂 have to keep this up. Classic!
“ Another 6 months, he’ll be dead a year “ 😂
Reminds of Phil (sopranos)
“Let me tell you a couple 3 things “
There's no scraps in my scrapbook
@@phnvt7298😂
😂
Classic both !!
😂😂
More a monologue then a interview.
It ain’t bad, in fact it’s very interesting.
So joey it says here you wer born in the year 1963?
Joey: yer but I was acquitted of that.
This is a Masterpiece. Dude is flawless. Luv it.
