  • In this episode of the Wide Awake Podcast, I had the opportunity to interview Larry Mazza, a former Mafia hitman who worked closely with Greg Scarpa, the notorious captain of the Colombo crime family, also known as the Grim Reaper. Larry has publicly confessed to taking the lives of four individuals and is rumoured to have been involved in approximately 25 additional homicides.
    During our conversation, we delved into Larry's transformation from a regular kid with a supportive family to one of the most dreaded members of the Colombo Crime Family. Additionally, we explored his clandestine affair with Greg Scarpa's wife, the extent of his mentor's murderous deeds, and how he managed to evade justice for so long. Furthermore, we provided a detailed account of some of the murders that Larry participated in and the reasons behind the downfall of the Colombo Crime Family.

      This man you interviewed sounds like pure evil. Like a man without a soul or conscience. He casually talks about dumping human bodies like they're everyday trash.

    Larry Mazza gives a great interview. I don't think he's lying about anythng either. Unlike a lot of these guys, he really seems pretty consistent and corrects himself over tiny details which is a sign he's really trying to recall it exactly as it happened.

    • @TheJReZone
      @TheJReZone Год назад +7

      ​@@brucelean2172 its so important to share and tell ALL of our history, mazza never killed anyone who wasn't in the life or involved in it, he is a soldier (not a killer) you're brain dead to think it's a good idea to not share the reality of it with the new and young generation who idealise the life, Larry does the opposite and tells exactly what the life was about

      @wesleymcglone6937 Год назад

      ​@Bruce Lean Because if we give a platform to someone who worked 9-5 in a toothbrush factory for 40 years it would be pretty boring. And end up with 3 views. We want sex,drugs and violence.

    Larry is a rare breed. Interesting, good talker and likable. Never comes across as a liar, doesn't try to show off or brag. Whatever career he would of chosevin life you can tell he would of suceeded in it. He fell into the Mob life by pure chance and just went with it. Interesting man, interesting life. He's actually lived the life frauds like Giannini Russo, Ice man Kuklinski and Anthony Raimondi claim to of lived.

    Of all the ex mobsters on the podcast circuit I find Larry the most believable. Speaks plainly without hesitation and never paints himself as the good guy like Gravano and several others.

Was a rat for all those years but in greg jr's book he said his father told him when he was a kid that he was working with the government. I just finished the greg jr. Audiobook. I would like to hear larry comment in the book.

    That's actually pretty good Mr. Mazza, when I was in need of money, I had to go to these payday loan places and get 500 bucks for 2 weeks, for 45 dollars a week.... and I had to also pay it back within two weeks... you said 1000 bucks for 50 dollars a week.... that's not as bad as SpeedyCash, or Advance America. No wonder my grandpa back then would tell me not to get those loans because those were they guys that "break your legs"... I would be like, "What? That nice old lady as the SpeedyCash office, break my legs, huh?".... haa haa

    I have to agree with others that comment that Larry is to me the most honest of the former Mob guys. He doesn’t try to make himself bigger than he was, he didn’t push his crimes off on anyone else and he corrects himself over the smallest mistakes.
    Sammy talks about John betraying him? Was anyone betrayed worse than Larry by Greg and he still don’t bad mouth him.
    Larry is honest and authentic.
