I love listening to the show Anthony. The new content is always something I look forward to. Thank you for your stuff on addiction. I have been an alcoholic for 20 years. Formerly had drug and gambling addictions too. I have lost my family over it. Christmas, like always, was very difficult. It is a real mental test every year. Your videos give me comfort and peace. Just want to say thank you brother.
Marry Christmas (and Happy New Years) and thank you for being there. The one thing I wanted when I finally got out of the hospital was to see one of these videos. OK 2nd thing, First thing I was looking forward to was eating real food!
I got nothing but respect for you, Anthony. Your transparency to your viewer's, whether warranted or not, is very commendable. You don't owe anyone anything, but the fact that you choose to address the hater's anyway is also very admirable. Keep doing you and everything else will take care of itself. ✊😎🙏
@AnthonyRuggiano You're very much welcome, my friend. It's my pleasure to support you and your channel as I respect your content, and like I said, your openness and your transparency. 🙏
You are a good man Anthony and you have a great channel. Come visit New Zealand sometime in the future im sure you will love it. Merry Xmas and Happy New Years to you and your family 😊🙏 🇳🇿 🇺🇸 🇮🇹
And another reason why you guy's are friends. Is because that life is behind all of you. And that's where it should stay" you guy's should be there for one another. I absolutely respect you guy's period!!!!!
You handled that very well Anthony. It’s good to stand up for yourself on certain issues for sure. Don’t let the few negatives get to you though as they are beneath you. Looking forward to seeing your next video you talked about. Have a great Sunday 🙏🙏 Pietro 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Anthony, it's very easy for people who weren't in "the life" to cast judgment. The truth is, you had to do what you had to do. You had your "real" family to think of. Don't doubt your friendship with Sammy and Michael. I agree with your outlook. Let's be honest, true friendships aren't easy to find. You guys have so much in common between you, and I have no doubt, there's a deep understanding among you. Be friends with who you want to be friends with. You are sharing history with us and we appreciate it.
I used to work for the Guarino’s they sold Christmas trees on Atlantic ave and Easter plants on cross bay blvd Also had a beer delivery business delivered to russo’s on the bay ragtime and a bunch of bars in the neighborhood
Fantastic video-you’re speaking from the heart. Ignore the haters! Sammy and Michael are true friends…..all three of you are amazing and evidence that we can all be forgiven. Only blessings will come your way! Keep doing these honest videos!
@Anthony: Haters are going to hate. You don't need to justify yourself to them. Your relationship with Michael goes back decades. Your fathers were friends! That you and Sammy have formed a friendship is great! The three of you seem to get along royally. God bless you!
Out of curiosity, was Billy's produce business something along the lines of Top Tomato? Those of us who are from Brooklyn or Queens would know what this is. Out here in Las Vegas, there are no large produce markets, or even any smaller ones, for that matter. While living out here has largely been good, there are certain things that one who's from where we grew up and lived will miss having; this is one of them. Happy New Year, and keep up the great content; ignore the haters and detractors.
Awesome Anthony...Sammy and Michael are your friends if people hate that than it's there problem...keep it up you have got a great chanel greetings from the Netherlands Anthony
Hey Anthony what you need to say to the haters is tell them to go pound sand. From listening to you over the years sounds like even your father knew that life was over that’s why he was trying to set you up . I don’t think he would of wanted you too spend the rest of your life in that life and the love he had for you I’m sure even though he might of been disappointed he would forgive you.
Haters are usually just jealous punks with no spine! Lol Dont worry about what they say or think you keep doing you, Anthony! Hope you have a wonderful new year. Be safe, and I only wish the best for you.
I don't know if that thing about a suit would've necessarily been a shot because I like your show a lot, and I thought Joey bought your dad's funeral suit too. I feel like you'd said that on a previous show. Idk what the rest of that person's comment was, but that was my understanding as a fan.
Love ur content and admire ur sobriety. Thank you for all that you do. And f%ck the haters dude thats all they got in life. Its not easy for one of the prince's of NYC to turn it all around. Have a great new year
Anthony is the realest tru crime podcast because he speaks about addiction, the tru crime stuff, and also God and stuff hes my favorite out of franzese gravano merlino etc lil snuff should be called lil snub because they snubbed me live so i put "fuck joey merlino" in my channel bio lol like they see it or something 😂 im crazy but i feel like besides the gangster stuff anthony is the most relatable pray for me mr ruggiano i need gods grace
Anthony F--k the Haters..I love your content..I will always watch.No one can tell you who you can be friends with..No one has to walk in shoes..You been around A long time ..threw your content and your videos you know your former life very well.its very easy to tell your stories aren't Bullshit..keep doing what your doing
Don't give a second thought to the internet trolls who talk about rats or who you make videos with. They couldn't have a show of their own because they have nothing to talk about & nobody would watch, and they would give up their own mother if they had to do thirty days
Keep doing what your doing Sammy and Michael are on the top this won’t change. you 3 all call it like it is., Sammy’s great cause he really loved the life you and Micheal came in and adapted to it through your fathers yous had no choice. Fuck the rat shit you did what you had to do to save family keep giving good content we all love you!
GREED DESTROYED THAT LIFE, HONESTLY YOU BRING UP A GREAT POINT, THERES A FEW THINGS THAT IF WERE ALTERED THE MOB WOULD HAVE NEVER LOST 80% OF THE STRANGLEHOLD THEY HAD ON THIS COUNTRY FROM THE 30$ UNTIL THE 90$, WHEN GUYS WENT AWAY BACK IN THE DAY THEY KNEW THERE FAMILY AND LAWYERS WERE TAKEN CARE OF, IF THEY CONTINUED THAT THE RATTING % WOULD HAVE WENT DOWN 60% EASILY, THE OLDTIMERS UNDERSTOOD THAT
Anything for a dollar$ mike is halfway decent the other 1 forget it but you still got a decent xhannel 1 day at a time i respect u for that BIG TIME BRO GODBLESS LOVE FROM TRENTON NJ
Hey Anthony, after the life you lived and what you've been through, I'm guessing you ain't losing any sleep over what other people say..As my Dad, who was a WWII Combat Veteran, in his wisdom -to put things in perspective, used to say, when us kids thought our problems were so big, he'd ask.."is anyone shooting at ya?"...."let me know when there shooting at ya... Blessed Merry Christmas, the Savior of All people of all time has come!...
99% this generation will cooperate, compare to the older less people would have cooperated, times have changed, I did time in feds 25 yrs ago n I did time recently its day n night, now even inside 90% of inmates are rattling on each other back then no way, iam not in your shoes but I would’ve gone to trial and see the outcome.
I mean the people yous guys tell on have to register where they live if they get out still on paper. If they didn't get life. Whats the difference? If they have to why shouldn't yous guys that flip have to? I mean maybe not in your case but in most of these cases. The rat is worse than the person that theyre telling on. Especially in sammys case. He was way worse than the people he put away.
I’m so curious to who the gentlemen was that financially helped you out with lawyer fees during your tough time. He’s still out there whoever he is. God bless him for helping ya.
I haven't seen the vidieo with you Michael and sammy my 3 favorite gangster Podcasters ill watch it after this i liked to see all of you in a sit down with all the other ex gangster that constantly bash you 3 it be interesting. Keep up the good fight Anthony
I get you’re on ur third strike, but Is it possible (and likely) that they didn’t want you to take a deal because it would seriously hurt your codefendants chances at trial??
Sammy isn't one of biggest anymore. He has 600thousand plus subs an averages 15k a video. That's actually bad. People are catching on to Sammy's lies and repeated stories.
I've known Sammy's lies from Day 1. Because I knew Sammy became a RAT for 1 reason..... to get out of his jail cell!!!! He put 39 guys in jail, but he wants people to believe he only ratted Gotti over an argument. Yea right
Sammys a pure RAT and liar!! He put 39 guys in jail to get out of his jail cell in 91, but wants people to think he only put Gotti in jail over an argument. Yea right. He also said he planned the whole Sparks hit when everybody knows all the guy involved were in Gottis crew
Jeff Nadu recently had a show about how the mob genre viewership is down across the board. The only one doing really well is Michael, and that's because he had the insight to explore other topics. RUclips became saturated with mob talk. You can only tell so many stories. Then came the infighting and drama. People grew weary. I don't personally care for Jeff, but I respect his openness about how mobtube is coming to end. It's only a matter of time. I'll miss it.
Michael and sammy are stand up guys and did what they had to do and half these haters wouldn't have lasted a month in that lifestyle and have no business telling you who you should be doing your shows with! God bless Anthony
@@dougwilson6778 Michael & Sammy are not stand up guys. Neither is this rat. Stand up guys do their time without giving information. Sonny, John & Fat Andy were stand up guys. The men you named are cowards.
@dougwilson6778 What makes them stand up guys?? They both told. Sammy killed his childhood friend. Micheal left his dad in a state ran home. They were both thieves. I agree with Andy doing the show with who he wants but nothing about those two guys makes them stand up guys. In my eyes anyway.
I think you might need to research the term, testifying for the government might warrant standing clear of that stand up guy term since it means the exact opposite. Sammy never did time until it was time to cooperate.
great video as always have great weekened there stay clean as always hope you had great christmas and yes my top weiseguys on here are michael franzese and sammy he even sent me a cap from contest i won in his podcast never miss sammy live podcast on mondays actually yer cousin gene got me addictive to the weiseguys him and alite

Are the steaks really good at Sparks? Where are a few top steak houses?
I used to work for the Guarino’s they sold Christmas trees on Atlantic ave and Easter plants on cross bay blvd
Also had a beer delivery business delivered to russo’s on the bay ragtime and a bunch of bars in the neighborhood
With Sammy and Michael, you know who your friends are.

Ignore the Egomaniacal hate mongering little people Anthony, they simply don’t matter. God Bless you.
Anthony. I went in 97/98 and i wanted to go to sparks.I went again in 2000 for Lewis v grant..🏴🇬🇧
I share a birthday with John Gotti so fellow Scorpio here!😂

Anthony, did you ever see John Gotti Sr. verbally abuse any of the sons of Carlo Gambino? If so, why would he do so?
I get you’re on ur third strike, but Is it possible (and likely) that they didn’t want you to take a deal because it would seriously hurt your codefendants chances at trial??
