My grandpa was a Chicago cop and eventually detective. Heard a lot of crazy stories about him taking down mobsters and even have old newspaper clippings of him standing around dead bodies and criminals in his long beige trench coat lol Super cool & always loved hearing about it. Absolutely great interview!
I respect mobsters more than politicians. With the mob, you know what you’re getting. Al Capone bought my grandfather, who sold airplanes, dinner once. That’s more than any politician ever did for him.
I been over there on Taylor st with the Italians at the cigar shop, I been over there on western where he is talking about the Spanish gangsters. Chicago is like being in a movie. It’s a oldschool street gang city even to this day. And there is no signs of it stopping anytime soon. Vicious cycle.
They bought a place in Escanaba Michigan, Hereford and Hops in 1992 smh it just sold, yet the woman on the city council who told the whole city that she just sold it in 2024 did not own it. Al Capone had a mansion in Escanaba and they shared a tunnel, which is now closed. Rebecca Moody just sold it. Not Karen Moore. The secrets kept in Chicago are now kept in Da U.P. of Michigan, also known as God's Country. 🚩🇺🇲
The Chicago mob are RESPONSIBLE for all the meth and its from Mandy, Amanda Moody, who is allowed to do whatever she wants because the whole city is corrupt. 🚩🇺🇲
I'm not going to lie you had me crying I never expected to do that today you got me Mark LOL there's nothing as touching as a man showing his heart that's special thanks for that this morning Mark I really needed it
@SoftWhiteUnderbelly, you are carrying on the work of one of the greatest Chicagoans to ever walk those streets, Studs Terkel. I, for one, am very grateful for that.
He's right about NY and Philly being different than Chicago and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh today everything is legitimate businesses with perks but nothing like the old days
Tommy you’re tough. You’re a good man too. Keep leaning towards kindness. Thanks Mark for another informative and entertaining video. You’re a really good man.
Everyone's a hard guy with a gun here in Scotland you need to be able to fight and a wise man once told me never judge a guy on looks alone and the saying quiet ones you need to watch isn't true I've known loud maniacs, but to your point all the real guys died or are in prison these podcasts are the dregs of the mob telling fanciful stories about themselves, narcissists in my humble opinion
What a rubbish man. When you're feeling well and while you're making money, you don't sing to co-workers and friends. When it's your own ass in danger ,and when it's hard, then you turn against it.
@@mladjireferent8027Ofcourse, if someone snitches, its because they are in trouble. I have never been even close To that kind of preasure, but I have been interrogated for close to 20times and only ever talked about my own crimes. Maybe I couldn't stand tall facing life, but I know that so I don't put myself in that situation.
He likes Gascon, he says 90% wanna do right then he threatens an innocent ink artist for nothing. There’s nothing remotely likable about this pos. Also, how the hell is he able to carry a pistol?!?
There's something I don't understand. If this man is in witness protection, presumably it's because he's in danger and there are people interested in knowing his whereabouts. "Undisclosed location" doesn't seem useful since you, Mark, know where that is. What would prevent those interested parties from trying to get the information from you?
Because even I have no idea where Tommy lives currently. He flies in, does an interview and leaves with his bodyguards. He could live in Maine, San Diego, Seattle or Miami. I have no idea.
Hmm.. "The following August, Manning was arrested and placed in the Cook County Jail, where he was assigned to a cell with one Thomas Dye, a notorious con man and jailhouse snitch with a long criminal record, including 10 felony convictions, dating to 1978. Dye had recently been sentenced to 14 years in prison for residential burglary and was awaiting trial in three other felony cases. Dye soon contacted prosecutors and told them that Manning had confessed to the Pellegrino murder. Dye was a known liar and perjurer, so his claim carried little credibility."
Chicago, also known for great Italian beef! It’s so weird that other big cities don’t know about this great food! Homemade is even better, sometimes Portillo’s will do! 😃
Thank you Mr. "Tommy Dye" for this amazing insight! In another life you could have been a book to audio man. You have a great voice sir. Please don't box my ears for saying you are a very attractive man.
When you run around the streets in the 1970s and 80s Google won’t rly have too much on you unless you’re a million dollar kingpin or someone of major significance for the reasons
Love the garden joke!
Oh yeah, that was a good'n😂

Great guest, great storyteller, great video - thanks Mark
Storyteller is right. This guy is a liar
@@DERRTYCHYBO why do you say that?? You don't know that for fact??
@@DERRTYCHYBOI still like him better than you.
Great gentleman, speaking the truth of respect. Open doors and say excuse me. Never know who's shoulder you're rubbing.
This is ironic because he was a mobster who literally killed people with no moral compass.
I respect mobsters more than politicians. With the mob, you know what you’re getting. Al Capone bought my grandfather, who sold airplanes, dinner once. That’s more than any politician ever did for him.
Another Masterpiece Mark! ❤👍💯
One of the best episodes yet
The joke in the beginning was hilarious 😂
The end of this video was the best part love it love it love it
One if the very few that i enjoy. Thanks for this Mark. And thank you Mr. Dye.
I loved hearing his stories.
He could write ✍️ a book....
Love the stories. I am italian. I appreciate this.

Yes it brought a tear to my eyes❤
How the hell did you wear a wire for six months, in prison, without a guard ever patting you down or strip searching you and finding it???
Specific days and hours over that time period, probably what he meant.
Big mouth, slow hands that's good. 😂😂 Thank you Mark
He's a wonderful man. He's handsome and always has a great story to tell. His stories make me laugh, cry, and feel uplifted.
😂
A wonderful man? He's a gangster, which makes him evil
Chicago definitely has its own flavor.
I'm not going to lie you had me crying I never expected to do that today you got me Mark LOL there's nothing as touching as a man showing his heart that's special thanks for that this morning Mark I really needed it

This guest is one of my favorites of all time, hell yea he is a man's man through and through!!!!
Division 1 was the oldest part in cook county. Al capone was locked up in division 1
He's right about NY and Philly being different than Chicago and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh today everything is legitimate businesses with perks but nothing like the old days
Tommy you made a great gesture to do that for your fiancé… I’ll admit it - I shed a tear hearing about the tattoo. 🕊️💙
Tommy you’re tough. You’re a good man too. Keep leaning towards kindness.
Thanks Mark for another informative and entertaining video. You’re a really good man.
So we were going with FBI gardeners until Mark forced the confession it was a joke? And immediately we're off story telling.
*click*
He looks more like a Priest than a Gangster...😊
Priests and gangsters have the same moral compass.
Everyone's a hard guy with a gun here in Scotland you need to be able to fight and a wise man once told me never judge a guy on looks alone and the saying quiet ones you need to watch isn't true I've known loud maniacs, but to your point all the real guys died or are in prison these podcasts are the dregs of the mob telling fanciful stories about themselves, narcissists in my humble opinion
Well, he WAS in witness protection.
and?
What a rubbish man. When you're feeling well and while you're making money, you don't sing to co-workers and friends. When it's your own ass in danger ,and when it's hard, then you turn against it.

A gangster made me, a 54yr old guy, tear up a little. Ok this time Mr Dye... I'll let it slide.

@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly Ah. Okay. Good to get that info into the record! Thanks for the response, and stay safe. kf

That’s very sad to hear of the eight men.
The story at the end about him getting the K on his finger was beautiful.
Loved his stories!
OMG, Dennis Farina! I miss him, and I LOVE "Crime Story"!

Chicago, also known for great Italian beef! It’s so weird that other big cities don’t know about this great food! Homemade is even better, sometimes Portillo’s will do! 😃
Thank you Mr. "Tommy Dye" for this amazing insight!
In another life you could have been a book to audio man. You have a great voice sir. Please don't box my ears for saying you are a very attractive man.
The story about his grandma and her tomatoes 🤣 so sweet
So much fear of mans retribution but no fear of Gods judgement. I couldn’t listen to the end. I hope he has repented.
A gangster AND a hopeless romantic…There’s a movie here…❤
I love this guy and I hope his girl is feeling better ❤
