You're one of the few great authentic story tellers on RUclips. Great videos, keep them coming sir. I have quite a few stories myself. Maybe we'll trade stories one day lol I have to get my podcast going. Have a great weekend
@@Sitdownnews Who appointed Joey Merlino the Boss of Philadelphia. What New York family confirmed Joey as Boss or was it the commission. Or was it the Genevose family ( Boss Vincent the Chin Gigante)?
Joey is no stranger to war bro...not to say he can't get got..but he did tell the Lucchese's, don't bring any of their guys down to take over..they'll get bagged an' tagged. His crew is mad loyal..he keeps his mouth shut and eyes open.
Another great one JP. I really enjoyed how you finished off this story. I’ve been sharing your content w/ everyone I know. I want to see your subs explode, cause u deserve more then anyone. Hope you have a great weekend John. As always, God bless, be well & Salute 🍷my friend. (That Peter Pan looks like a real chooch. 🤣🤣)
John love your show. Merlino's trial in Manhattan Federal Court had to take about 3 weeks. wonder if he was using the kid to have a place to stay during trial.
Another interesting video, keep up the good work! How many Friends did Castellucci have in his crew at that time? Seems like a lot of the older Brooklyn guys got transferred to other crews around that time
This video was on fire 🔥 . I’m surprised Joe Cafe’s troops didn’t complain about him. He showed weakness w the Bonanno incident and now w Joey M? Thanks JP, love watching the growth and the support you are getting from your loyal followers. The cream always rises to the top! 👍
So, out of the two part story, what I get out of it was Joe Cafe was not respected by his own family, by the family in Philly and by his nephew, who wouldn't take no for an answer by anyone.
John can you make a video about the zips? Can you further elaborate on their role in the mob when you were in the life? Did you have any encounters with them? What is their role in mob today? Kind regards !
Hey John,the merlino disrespect, couldn't be rooted in the past where the Luccheses took in nicky scarfo Jr to protect him from philadelpia. Great content 👌 🥃
@@Sitdownnews man we all know why the Luchesse family doesn’t recognize him. It’s because Scarfo Jr is a made man and knows too much. They side with Joey, Nicky Jr will flip so quick your head will spin. 😂
Great video John. A question. Do the NY Families still consider Philly a fully functioning Family? Another channel I watch suggests that they are more just a leftover crew than a full Family these days, but I get the impression that is wrong. Seems like you recognised Merlino as a boss here, for example. Thanks!
@@JayyJay92 True. Also, Since I wrote this question, I’ve seen enough to convince me that Philly is definitely still recognised as a functioning family. That other channel was off the mark for sure.
👍stories I gotta be honest, that life has way too many moving parts if u catch my meaning , and what's with the soft skipper , the gangster's of days past must be rolling over in the grave I'm so thankful my dad and my other male role models kept me on the right path JP enjoy your Saturday
I wonder if Merlino just looked at it as taking Tuccio off the Luccheses' hands, since last thing he knew was Tuccio was chased and Joe Cafe never made an issue of it.
I think Joey Merlino needs to think about who & what he is. I meet Joey at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut myself and a couple friends were playing blackjack when Joey sat at the same table as us. It took me an hour or so to realize who it was. But naturally we all start talking at the table. After about 2-3 hours we were getting ready to walk from the table we say good luck we shake hands Joey stopped us and asked if we wanted to go have a drink. My friends didn’t have a clue who he was till after we left and I told them but I immediately said no thanks. We all (my friends, myself, Joey, the guys he was with) lost a big chunk of change maybe that’s why he asked I don’t know. It seemed a bit odd to me that someone in his position would ask guys he just met to and have drinks. But after hearing these stories it seems like Joey is extremely approachable. Just figured I’d tell my Joey Merlino story.. As usual JP good stuff!!
Another great story, JP. I see the “other” show just did something about Tony Moscatiello, who I know you were close to. Not cool. I give you credit for staying above the fray. Always a class act. I hope someday when your legal entanglements are finished we get the JP Netflix movie. Thanks again for giving us the perspective of a true insider.
Great story John, I hear you wishing positivity and great days to everyone,so I’m gonna return the favor. I hope you’re having a great weekend and positivity! ciao for now 🇮🇹 🇺🇸
Been following you for a while now and one question keeps coming up in my mind.. how do you get away with going public with mafia internal affairs ?!? How do you get away with mentioning peoples names and events involving them ?!? There rules about not going public with family’s affairs ... how you get away with it and if they let you do it, why do they let you do it ? Great stories by the way, i love listening to your videos !! Great work, keep it up 👍🏻
From we hat I have heard and seen an also read, everything is giving me the impression that Merlino had more balls then everyone,that he came into contact with!!!
@@Sitdownnews Thankyou. Another podcast I will not name, the host claims to be friends with guys in Philly and claims that they don't listen to New York and do their own thing. He's not in the mob btw, just likes to think he is. It's good to get info from someone who was actually on the inside.
Skinny joey was a young Turk he wanted to run Philly with his own crue and the old guard didn't go for it causing a lot of problems and joey never backed down always wanted the no 1 spot your doing a great job Johnny keep it up
Mr. Pennisi Good Story, I usually don't come on during the day but it's pouring rain and windy in Boston right now so can't walk the dog and not really into College Football so I gotta wait it out. The more You talk about this Joe Cafe the weaker He sounds how did He ever get made a Captain, Politics ? Enjoy your weekend and Stay Safe My Friend
Joey was a Wild guy. I used to live in Margate, NJ. A well known Summer Shore town for the Philadelphia Borgata. Anyway, I was there the night Joey knocked out a Margate Cop at Maloney's Bar. The Cops totally backed off Joey. That is some serious respect lol
Say what ya like abt the Philly/Bruno Family.... They're some serious guys! Just look! From Skinny Razor, to even Angelo Bruno, who ran Philly FOREVER, w/a vice-like grip, to the absolute bloodthirsty maniac Nicky Scarfo, to the zip boss John Stanfa, to now, Skinny Joey.... All deadly, serious bosses.
My dad was indicated wish joey a few years back . I thought it was ironic because I had ties with friends of Joey when I was in Florida. Let me know if you want more of the story .
Im suprised joey wanted anything to do with him. He seems like a cop magnet. Not trying to talk bad about peter but thats how he seems from the way youve described him. I really love the details like you cant get to staten island from long island with out going by howard beach. Thats why i love your channel.
I could be wrong…the fault lies with Joe Cafe,his nephew as annoying as he was needed guidance,Joe is dumping him on you,etc and Skinny Joe ends up filling that vacuum.Merry Christmas to your family 🎄🇮🇹
I can't figure out Joey merlino. Phil Leonetti had a poor opinion of him. Said that Joey was skimming money, not paying on gambling debts. But because his father was close to scarfo, always got away with it. If he had burned so much people then how could he make it to the Boss?
I think i heard this story not the whole thing but i remember Joey was bringing some outsider younger guy around him.To me it seems like with all the drama this kid Peter Pan had going on maybe Joey kinda saw a little bit of himself in this guy.honestly im surprised joey is still alive after all the disrespect hes shown and all the wars.Scarfo was the real power in Philly and Bruno was the brains.
@@Sitdownnews 😂. Been binging your channel. Great work. They’re real stories with real people, no delusions of grandeur like some in this genre. Keep em coming!
Smh John this entire Peter Pan situation is just embarrassing for the entire criminal organization. Back in the day they'd throw him a few beatings until he got the message and stayed away, am I right?
I love Joey but let’s be real. The reason he never exorcised real power is because of the disfuction in his organization and one of those reasons was he never followed the rules . He appointed himself as boss . Not the new York families
Wow, there to even begin with this story. I may well be mistaken but wasn't arguable to some degree just what Joey Merlino's position and standing was at this time? But it wasn't arguable that Joe Cafe is a Capo in the Lucchese family. And even if Merlino did have solid standing according to La Cosa Nostra he shouldn't have been doing what he did. Okay that's one thing but for Joe Cafe to be disrespected even by his own borgota is adding insult to injury. Lucchese's making themselves look weak IMO. Go back to the 90s and Joey Merlino would have likely been told once nicely to back the fuck off and probably taken to the next level if he didn't not long after.
@@PSU2024 Yes, that statement was told by mean so I know very well what Joey said. However, do not think for a second that if Vic wanted to take Joey out it would not take place.
@@PSU2024 Killing a boss is bad business. Vic Amuso is smarter than that. Killing someone in that life must serve a purpose. Merlino was already recognized as a boss by the other families in NY
Hey John, why was Joey Merlino allowed to mess with New York families. Did he earn respect in New York or was he just given it. What year did this take place?
You should have went straight Rufio on him and capt hooked ol Peter Pan! Who knows He may not be in all this mess he’s in now 😂😂 (hook movie reference)
@@Sitdownnews Thank you Bud I got your back brother your a real man doing 17 I did 51 months It was nothing compared to you god bless you and your children !!!!!!
