I know him. He used to own State Street Restaurant at Commercial Center across the street from my office in 1984. His girlfriend at that time was Dionne Warwick and his singer. During that time Las Vegas was small. Everyone almost knew each other. We used to go there on the weekends for dinner and dancing. I saw so many celebrities hang out there and were treated like normal people.Las Vegas was a lot safer when the MAFIA runs the town.

Crazy how JFK had huge Italian mafia ties. History is dark and I feel as though without certain guys like Russo, none of this will ever be told. Very interesting to say the least💯

I see a lot of comments like this. Are they just bring purely sarcastic or is Russo known to bend the truth a lot? I just saw a vid about him and Escobar, and it seemed a bit out there.
@@Bastiondar If he wasn't a street wise kid, i'd call bullshizle. but the Monroe story sounds quite plausable, though he could have swapped out some other starlette's name...when the witness is dead, people CAN say anything, but the question is, do they lie in other tales? that's the giveaway.
He is a very interesting man, very charming too. I feel sad about his childhood. He had a hard upbringing. He reminds me of my Dad's side of the family in Chicago.

That was one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Gianni is a walking history book that I could listen tell stories forever. Vlad, great job keeping your mouth shut and letting this legend speak.
Oh dear, there really is one born every minute! There must be a lot of wise guys falling about laughing at this interview with a man whose vivid imagination is almost as big as his ego!
I agree... His reactions were awkward at times. Good thing Gianni kept it going. Hell of a story teller. Never new this guy existed until today. What a legend.
Plenty time to make stories up not enough time to live them.... Reality for a lot of these older guys is, if you ever get to speak to them, flexible at best
The stories that the elder generations have are just amazing. They had to grow up fast, never heard them whine or complain something that is lacking today.

These people are laughing at him and can't believe his stories, but he was a teenager and also in his 20"s at the time and the couriers to the mob were privy to everything.

"Isn't that insane? That's crazyness!"
Lol
Wild right? Lol
Hahahahaha
😂😂😂😂
Damn this dude has has some stories and crazy experiences in his day. Imagine having him as your grandfather and asking him to tell you a bedtime story 😬.
His story no jive. George W Bush was the president during that time of 9-11. 1:23:02.
yes it be great evzn be friends be awesome.
"No need to pray to God, kid. Here's his number. Don't tell grandma."
I was thinking the sameeeeee thing 😂
"so my chin is hanging cuz of pablo's man slicing me, luckily I moved just at the right time and put two between his eyes. He's so coked up it registered late for him and I ended putting the last three in his heart and falls. Goodnight sweet dreams, be ready for breakfast in the morning"
"I told Moses, the water is shallow, just go for it"- Gianno Russo
Moses a deep sea diver, just couldn't hold on to a tablet comin down a mountain
I see a lot of comments like this. Are they just bring purely sarcastic or is Russo known to bend the truth a lot? I just saw a vid about him and Escobar, and it seemed a bit out there.
Gianni B.S. Digital creation. Russo likes Lusso +
Impressioni.

@@Bastiondar If he wasn't a street wise kid, i'd call bullshizle. but the Monroe story sounds quite plausable, though he could have swapped out some other starlette's name...when the witness is dead, people CAN say anything, but the question is, do they lie in other tales? that's the giveaway.
@@Bastiondar Read a book on sociopathy and then watch more of his videos. He's a pathological liar/conman.
He is a very interesting man, very charming too. I feel sad about his childhood. He had a hard upbringing. He reminds me of my Dad's side of the family in Chicago.
I told Adam not to go out and eat with Eve she was a vegetarian, but he didn't listen. -Gianni Russo
“ it was actually supposed to be me on the date with Eve. That would have been my rib. Had I not got caught up in a car jacking heist with Frank Sinatra, JFK, and Jesus, all men today would have a used-car-salesman mullet and giant white Chiclet-teeth.” -Gianni Russo
I could literally listen to these stories all day long...what a life...what a life!!!
“So I was telling Martin Luther King about this wild dream that I had once...” - Gianni Russo
9L900lllollloll0lllllk00llllollllllollllloooooo009
I can’t really tell if this is for real or not!!! He’s good!! Lol
🤣🤣
But,,,,,, it’s real scary and fascinating that he really believes or was actually there! He’s a story teller!! 👍
🤣🤣🤣
I know so many people doubt him. As crazy as his stories are, he's always consistent with all the details of every story.
I see... so, if you are a consistent liar, then what you say must be true?
That's not how it works.
@leoa4c Yes, they say if you say it enough, you begin to believe it.
Who reads these comments with his voice lmao makes it 10x better
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I told El Chapo if he wanted to get out of jail he had to build a tunnel and i even hooked him up with my contractor “ Gianni russo
"I made sure the tunnel was air conditioned too. That Mexican Desert can get really hot" -G.Russo!
This thread is cracking me up. LMAO!
@@SissyKay "Speaking of Thread....I invented THREAD....Made making clothes SO MUCH EASIER back in the Stone Age!" -G.Russo!
@Honest Internet User LOL! "So when I was doing 400 years in Prison for Killing President Kennedy (they kept my conviction REALLY QUIET) I thought while sitting in my Private luxurious Cell that Gianni Versaci designed and Decorated for me personally, I thought it would be nice if I had my very OWN PHONE in my CELL...so I invented the CELL PHONE! Because of that they commuted my sentence to "Time Served"..That's a True Story......can you believe that?? - G.Russo
Who's motorcycle do you think he used in Chapo's tunnel???
"In 1905 I begged people in San Francisco to buy Earthquake & Fire Insurance, but did they listen? Fuggetaboutit"
ROFL
I'm laughing 😂 my ass off reading this shit .I gave you ten thumbs up!
"In 1912 I was in Great Britain and I told anyone I could if they were planing on traveling on the TITANIC to BRING THEIR OWN LIFEBOAT!...NOBODY LISTENED!!" -G.Russo!
😂😂😂If only...🤗
He was selling pens in the Bier Keller when Hitler rose. He warned them. Was selling pens to Fidel etc.
His stories are just unbelievable And I believe every word of it
Russo is such a liar. He shot that guy in 1988 and Escobar's prison was built in 1991. Also Gotti was already in prison in 1991 so this is all bullshit.
Me too 😂
He said “I used to train my own chefs”🤣🤣.
the one who is portrayed as the least likely connected in the movie the Godfather, but in reality, he was more connected than all of them even Marlon Brando.
Giani was the only one who had more cred than Brando. Brando had fame, Giann had mafia conennection. he wasnt intimidated
Gianni.
@@richardbullis6263 all his stories are lies, ask the real mobsters like sammy and mike , this guy tried saying how well he knew sonny franzese , his time frames are way off just go checkout mikes interview about him
@@donniedoesdishes Point me in the right direction in regards to Mikes interview about him?
" I Told Jesus That I Never liked that Judas kid to begin with, If It was up to Me I woulda Whacked him but Jesus said turn the other cheek "
Gianno Russo
LOOOOOOOOL😂😂😂😂

Hahaha yooooo😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
"Having beaten polio, Stallone came to me to train him for 'Rocky.'"
Lmao
I am open to the life experiences of others, and remind myself not to judge. Appreciate this channel and this interview. TY! Amazing storytelling, Mr. Russo, and Vlad knows how to listen🙏
That was one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Gianni is a walking history book that I could listen tell stories forever. Vlad, great job keeping your mouth shut and letting this legend speak.
@Danny Carvajal thank you! lol like he gave not even the slightest feedback. there's gotta be a balance at least
@@amandajones5302 . P
Oh dear, there really is one born every minute! There must be a lot of wise guys falling about laughing at this interview with a man whose vivid imagination is almost as big as his ego!
I agree... His reactions were awkward at times. Good thing Gianni kept it going. Hell of a story teller. Never new this guy existed until today. What a legend.
Vlad did let him speak.that is legendary in itself destined for the history books
"As soon as he said the Earth orbited the Sun, we knew Galileo was dead. I went back to the Vatican that morning!" ~Gianni Russo
😂😂😂😂
😄👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😃
🤣🤣🤣
Aye bruh this shit got me weak 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s crazy how we complain about being quarantine for 14 days but he was quarantined for five years. That’s so crazy. I can only imagine the trauma.
Yeah I was surprised when he said that. Like damn this is nothing new.
@John Smith oh... Ya mother?
I thought the same thing especially in Bellevue omg... nuts all over the place
@Mike Fernandez right on!
Plenty time to make stories up not enough time to live them.... Reality for a lot of these older guys is, if you ever get to speak to them, flexible at best
“Adam, this is Eve. We grew up together” - Gianni Russo
The stories that the elder generations have are just amazing. They had to grow up fast, never heard them whine or complain something that is lacking today.
Most had nothing growing up,learned to expect nothing,not like today's entitled brats
Amen!!
lmao, as if baby boomers aren’t the reason this country is in the shitter
Yes.
Too bad he's such a Bullshitter!
one of my favorite interviews you’ve ever done!!! he reminds me so much of my grandfather, this was fantastic to watch!
Lmao this is why men don't respect females. Hey... U honestly can't tell he's full of shit? Comon man.
@@ryanpeters1353 lol cute
Ya onna side note...
@@ryanpeters1353 men don't respect women? I don't know in what hole u live, but how empty headed is your comment lmao is convincingly more stupid than hers. So I suppose 'men' or for sure you, don't deserve any respect either 😂 maybe you better could have said 'thats why I dont respect women'
It reminds her of her grandfather. Did she even say the story is true or just that she liked to watch it. U made yourself look stupid 🤣
I see u have got 36comments on this channel, all to bash people about their opinion I suppose?
Every word out of his mouth is a lie, including "and" and "the"
One of the most genuine guys I’ve ever met ! His millions of streams speak volumes ! A beautiful man blessed by God I love this guy . See you soon Gianni In Ny , we got work to do 🙏🏼🔥🔥
He totally forgot to tell about beating Jordan in an 1on1 in the mid 90s.
He just couldn't dribble his way out of being hooked up with a hoop dunker .
🤣🤣🤣😂😂, yeah, I know this guy is Forrest Gump in reverse.
True story! 🤣
Pathological liar he needs to be confronted
@@jamesheath7507 🤣🤣🤣This guy had one movie role and his only claim to fame was that. He should be confronted. Nobody is doing him any favors to let him keep building a mountain of lies🤨. Sad!
This man loves life, and I love it.
He REALLY LOVES BS'ing too!
This is one of the funniest comment section ever
Truth.
Tys/..🤫..Thank you! 🐕..💃🏼😇💭🤫♥️..I DIGRESS..y’all too..😍🌵
@@Jbibs37 7 ppl
I swear his laugh sais it all. He just goes trough life living and he takes the oportunities that were given to him. Those oportunities are so ridiculous and its a miracle that he came out alive. Hope he has some great years ahead of him :)
These people are laughing at him and can't believe his stories, but he was a teenager and also in his 20"s at the time and the couriers to the mob were privy to everything.
I enjoy his stories...he stories beat the Sammy the bull bullshit..
grdhdrht
Gotta hand it to him.all these years and stories hes managed not ending up in a koma.
I love his chuckle after every awesome thing that happens to him. He earned those chuckles
But his eyes are not kind.
@ Yeah and he seems like a complete and total liar

Holy fuckin shit 😂😂😂
“I delivered a suitcase to guy in Florida, I know it was full of cash. The next day I got a phone call that Carrol Baskins husband was dead” - Gianni Russo

Counterfeit dough that kills anyone trying to spend it for payoffs and call girls.

W O W!!!! What an amazing man!!! Plus that interview is the most amazing interview I have ever seen 😀😀😀
"Who do you think think told christopher columbus to sail west, hes an old friend of mine" - russo
I said to him "So Chris....you never been to America (I told him he should call it that) and to head to Florida,...I got lots of friend there who can show you a great time at one of my Casinos-Hotels the Mob loaned me $57 Million to build"

Russo told 'Ole C.C. Americas had hot tomatoes ready to lose their meadenhead.

And the Colombo crime family began
This guy brings you back in time and gives you the answers of every big question mark we have.

Thnx for the thumbs up👍
"So when Escobar captured me, I told him, listen Pablo, you let me go back home, and I'll show you how to harvest these leaves and make a powder out of them, do we have a deal?" G.R.
🤣🤣🤣
Bruh 😂
this dude is literally the coolest guy that’s ever lived. it literally sounds like every person in his life felt the same way just based on how he was treated. dos equis needs to sign him
dos equis haha!!
but hes a real class act.
You're a gullible fool. He's a pathological liar, nothing else.
I met this guy yeeeeaaars ago as a teenager in the city, I was in summer school. I had a free period between classes, He educated me on the difference between state and federal institutions 🤣 we were sitting in the park on a bench. Really straight forward talker.
Just like Forest Gump
😂😂😂
“Ric Flair was trying to make a name for himself...so I told him to go with my look and to tone it down a bit” - Gianni Russo
These are fuckin hilarious
🤣
LMAO
Ooo the Nature boy
Love Rick flair
HAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA!!!!!!!! tone it down a bit!!!!
I used to think that Forest Gump had the most interesting life. After watching this it's clear to me now. That Gianni Russo was his absent father.
😂that was a good one.
But Forest Gump is fiction.
@@happydays8171 so are gianni russos stories 😭🤣
Liar, Forrest Gump is a movie character and can thus not be related to this real person. You are a liar, miss! You spread false rumours and lies and create fake news with these kinds of comments.
If this guy's lying, he's one incredible actor with a most incredible memory for his lines!
Of course he is but very entertaining.
Russo is such a liar. He shot that guy in 1988 and Escobar's prison was built in 1991. Also Gotti was already in prison in 1991 so this is all bullshit.
He needs to be the new most interesting man for Dos Equis commercials
"I use to scan 65" tv's as tomatoes at Walmart" - Gianni Russo
Best line I've read! I busted out laughing, thank you for your humor
Must of made a lot of money!
So I took Tesla for a walk at fifth Avenue and told him: let Edison have the DC. You take the AC.
Lol
"I tried to get them to call the capitol Washington A.C., but Edison won out!"-G.Russo
LOL

“If I didn’t deliver that message, JFK would be sittin right here talkin about me instead” - Gianni Russo
"So I met Al in Nevada, and he had this idea of opening up a casino in the middle of the desert. I convinced him to work on splitting atoms, and we made the 1st hydrogen bomb instead."
“So I told the guys, when we hit shore, round up some broads and booze. We’re gonna throw a party for Chris. I got a crazy feeling, but this Columbus gig will be remembered forever.” - Gianni Russo
Oh right , the first Colombo to land in the Americas
