The thing that made Joey loved was that he rocked with all races …and he had them backing him if he truly needed them …that’s how he was able to take the city …the older Italians just stuck to their own
@Queensfinest2023 Because he gives with one hand and takes twice as much with the other and if you say no to him you go to the hospital, if you're lucky. He could afford to hand out turkeys once a year because of all the drugs he sold the rest of the year.
That whole 80's, 90's, and 00's run in the City was real lit. Different squads doing different things, Joey and them, I thought stood out the most, the Young Boys ( in their 30's ) fought the Old Head, John Stanfa, and the mainstream squad over culture, ambition, and respect
and won , don’t forget that part . skinny & the rest of em wasn’t gon let some out of towner take what they dads and uncles died and did life for (the crown) just bc new york said so … him and his crew wasn’t going for that bullshit stayed true and solid & did the impossible … how can’t u respect that whatever lifestyle u live u gotta respect a nigga that stay true to the principles of they lifestyle and play the game wit honor , whatever lifestyle that may be. 💯 surprised they ain’t make a movie of the philly mob story yet .
Merlino was arguably the best to run Philly. He brought order to a fractured family and was able to maintain even thru prison. Most importantly he NEVER talked and kept things TIGHT 💯 🐐🐐🫡

I Seen Joey In Philly During The Summertime I Was Getting Food. He's 10 Toes Down People Was Taking Pics With Him. I Was Heading York PA And Made A Stop.
Thats crazy sopranos st8 took malino story and his likeness in season 1&2 Tony was the real boss but he let Jr have the title same as Joey did then Chris is a likeness of Joey with the range rover nd the flashy lifestyle can't make this up
Big Respect to Bro from South Jersey , out of all the stuff he did he the only mobster openly dealt with black people that’s why they loved em !!! He dealt with all races !!! Gotta love that and it made him powerful untapped market …
Everybody talking about Joey broke the code , but those rules applies to New York. Downtown always did them, they have mustaches, wear jeans, and nowadays they're on Instagram and Podcast. New York just wanna keep Philly in check, for real, for real
Bosses like Angelo Bruno and Phil Testa sport mustaches, John Stanfa wore jeans, and now, Joey be on Instagram and have a Podcast. Those New York rules don't rock in Philly
If u are from Philly u know Joey is the modern day hands on John Gotti point blank period and is still here thru all the bull 💩 $alute 2 a real one 💯💪🏾👑😎
@@lbgreen3872 I feel u bro and I feel the same way but he was definitely one of the lucky ones that never broke the code and was hands on trust me I know personally.. I just said he was a "Modern Day John Gotti" that's all I never met Gotti I just know of what I heard and both of them were 2 well dress cool ass "Gangsters that's where the comparison falls in line at point blank
Gotti was the worst boss ever. He wanted to be a movie star. He ran his mouth on tape for 1000’s of hours which brought down NYC mob. If you’re a good Don the public doesn’t know you…
Joey took it too Stanfa who was put there by Gambino family. Won brought family back to Genevese control. Joey now don’t answer to nobody. He been boss longer then them all except Luchesse Amusso

@andrewfoster4795 Those names for them are just educated words to describe their squad, it's just deception by the law and media coverage. If you wanna go by those names, it's The Angelo Bruno Family, or for short, The Bruno Family, described by New Yorker Joe Valachi. If you wanna go by the street way, they have a name they go by, and it's not the Philly mob
good job Pop. if anyone wants a real gkod read or listen check out Blood and Honor ( audiobook is great) or Mafia Prince. both books detail the Philly organization and mention Joey. he was a wild boy
Their sports picks are strictly guesses like you can make yourself for FREE. And have the same odds of winning as them. When they go 4-1 they brag, when they go 0-5 they simply say oh it was a rough night (after you lose YOUR money) they are touts.
The Mobb hated Joey because he fucced with black ppl you would see him coming through the city with Tommy Hill in his car and a few others Joey is a good dude he stamped out here in Philly.
How long is Philadelphia gonna claim Joey Merlino as a boss of the city, he hasn't even lived in Philadelphia for years and to me is irrelevant as the real boss of Philly these days although I gotta give him respect for when he was that 25 years ago
If you research history then you understand why they treat Italians and Irish the way they do. Because the cacusian is NOT the original people of what is called Europe now.
How can a person in this case Joey live that life style with no support of means! jumps into a brand new black Mercedes! The IRS should go after him! and why don't they?
The thing that made Joey loved was that he rocked with all races …and he had them backing him if he truly needed them …that’s how he was able to take the city …the older Italians just stuck to their own
Fact !!!
Yup
That SL 500 Joey was driving was my dream car back then ....Tupac picture me rolling in my 500 Benz
How can. U hate a man that helps families like this
👏

Real stand up dude skinny Joey was about giving back to the community did his time didn’t talk and still getting money legally now salute 🫡
🔥
Certified G. 💯
Joey been war ready since the 80s 90s to the 2000s on top of his game
How do you stay war ready when he spent more time in jail than in the streets?
🍆🚴♂️💩👀
That's a lie his father spend years in prison not him.
Joey comes from great bloodlines, his father Chuckie died in prison keeping his Oath...

Mr Merlino is a respected man.
Philly always been wild

The last one standing.....Joey Merlino
My man Joey as Real as they come…. Love ya Joe and hope this season brings you guys happiness and health my Brotha….
Joey is the guy everyone wants to portray themselves to be. Difference is he stood on his principles.
Joey definitely at the bbq
I wonder if Joey would invite any of his black friends to his family homes for dinner or a party? lol. They call us Moolies. Screw those grease balls!
YES HE IS
Shit we might be cooking the food he gave out in neighborhoos where it was Hard. Real Really A Stand Up Thurl MAN! 💯

That was in a project called Richard Allen where he was handing out turkeys. Thats the heart of Norf Philly
That was the Thanksgiving day giveaway.
He does it every year like the fellas in Boston

Yeah that’s my hood
@@phillybul215 Italian Market area is mine
Born and raised down the street from Joey and dude is what you would call a real gangster
I read the Last Gangster by George Anastasia. Very good read on the history of the Philly Mob.
Something different 👍🏽 his Pops taught him well
Legendary gangster
Joey is a class act. They don’t make men like him anymore….😢
Facts
@@shimeicareaves he gave every kid in Philly a proper Christmas/Thanksgiving. Shows you what type of guy he is….And the government hates him…giving Turkeys and toys away.
Good show. You delivered it without deep criticism. Nicely done.
Goated channel 💯💯
Real good dude
That sells drugs to the kids? yeah! what a guy!!
I Seen Joey In Philly During The Summertime I Was Getting Food. He's 10 Toes Down People Was Taking Pics With Him. I Was Heading York PA And Made A Stop.
holy shit I used to do masonry work for that Battaglia guy, I always heard he was connected just never knew
That's crazy
Joey is definitely the last of the Mochican's..kudo's to Joey
I see him driving in a rolls in Florida
Real don 😂😂
Merlino for president
Joey always loved Philadelphia that’s where his heart is. You can just tell by the way he gives back no matter what God bless him and keep him safe
If you think joey was banished you must be drunk
J.M. living his best life as a "free" man. Not a RAT like the others out there walking freely
But he's on you-tube! huge NO! NO!!
@@leemontoya8028 No No for what?
He's a legitimate business man now.
Not too many of them Guys can walk away without being a rat.
@@rightson750 He's in the life! doing anything talking pubic is a no! no!!
I wanted to be like Bo Baynes, Joey Merlino, Prince from the team & Albert Anastasia as a kid...
Oh no, not the “Mad Hatter” too 😂 Anastasia was crazy
Bo Baynes is who ppl think Sam Christian was …
Joey that dude. Still holding it down
💯 FACTS
Good Man, can't wait for his cheesesteak spot opens up, it'll be a party in the city again.
Shouts to my Guys Merlino and Snuff God Bless #WePushBack

Fucking clown, I’m gonna slap u snuff fuck u Joey that’s all u hear hahahaha Botox lips
Thats crazy sopranos st8 took malino story and his likeness in season 1&2 Tony was the real boss but he let Jr have the title same as Joey did then Chris is a likeness of Joey with the range rover nd the flashy lifestyle can't make this up
Facts
That was being done by Genevese before joey and sopranos
Amd it was a Lexus Chris first had that Tony ran down that dude with range came later
Ya don’t know what yall talking about. Shiela Jaffe created the sopranos inspired by things she heard and family
They did the same thing for the wire.
Big Respect to Bro from South Jersey , out of all the stuff he did he the only mobster openly dealt with black people that’s why they loved em !!! He dealt with all races !!! Gotta love that and it made him powerful untapped market …
He wasn't the only one, Crazy Joey Gallo from the Colombos is one example.
I said the same thing bro he rocked with everybody and had them on call if needed …
Hey this was well done, gotta say.
Joey a real one
Everybody talking about Joey broke the code , but those rules applies to New York. Downtown always did them, they have mustaches, wear jeans, and nowadays they're on Instagram and Podcast. New York just wanna keep Philly in check, for real, for real
Hollywood make a movie about this man!
Rival Mafia underboss Brothers at War… that’s crazy this should be a movie 💯
They already stolen that show Sopranos
Bosses like Angelo Bruno and Phil Testa sport mustaches, John Stanfa wore jeans, and now, Joey be on Instagram and have a Podcast. Those New York rules don't rock in Philly
Excellent show 💯👊🍻
Joey the only don left
Could you cover Chicago Outfit Mobster Mad Sam Destefano? Love these Mafia and Street stories.
Look like he looked out for the hood of philly
Wow I remember they did a story on Joey when he took over, I thought this was a old story not nothing recent
I always ❤Skinny Joey he was Phillys finest. He cared about the ppl & was never 2 big 2 4 the little ppl
If u are from Philly u know Joey is the modern day hands on John Gotti point blank period and is still here thru all the bull 💩 $alute 2 a real one 💯💪🏾👑😎

Joey is my friend
Joey was our John Gotti in Philly
I fuck with Joey merino
Joey took it too Stanfa who was put there by Gambino family. Won brought family back to Genevese control. Joey now don’t answer to nobody. He been boss longer then them all except Luchesse Amusso
Who the fuck is pop a lot?? He doesn't sound like he even from Philly.
Good ole days long gone 😢
I always think Ralph Natale just looks like he has a dark heart
GOAT! and he dropped off Turkeys and birds that day I’m now realizing that day
@darrylsmith6956 He could afford a few turkeys after all the drugs he sold.
He was banned from casinos in New Jersey, maybe Pennsylvania too not sure if they have casinos too but mostly Atlantic City
That’s crazy because Philly didn’t have casinos back in the 80’s or 90’s if I’m correct, Only HERE IN AC 609 !
Harrahs Chester was the first Philly area casino in PA. The first in PA was in the Poconos in ‘06 but ‘07 saw Harrahs open.
From AC everybody with a past gets banned
Nice video.

U really think that channel is about sports picks? It's a front for talking about everything else.
It’s a shame you still watch it and you don’t like it and you can do it all by yourself
I guess he was shellved due to his podcast, but is really stay really stayed shelved? It's not the kill much like in the past.
