If goodfellas was 100% accurate noone would be able to stomach it. These guys were absolutely brutal. Imagine watching a guy getting strangled to death in real life? I submit it would be a little different than the movies. Great interview.
I think the casting of Pesci as Tommy was a masterstroke. It was meant to be a caricature. Of someone, something, out of control. Which it sounds like the real Tommy was. Pesci nailed it
Unfortunately i was the last person from the neighborhood that seen him alive Wende CF medical unit before he went to hospice facility and died of cancer .
Hey Lee! Thanks for watching. 😁 if you would like to ask Sal a question tomorrow feel free to join our live. ruclips.net/user/live0UYy1qjNbmU?si=C2FO_REcrRMHVnZ9
YES, (I.I.Y.) ... I taught my staff back in the early 1980's to "invest in themselves" exactly as worded that way. I KNEW someone down the road would pick up on the same philosophy as their mantra for success, instead of the belief that a stock or other investment would make them rich. Good term.
Depends on what you mean strong? They were good earners and were a capable (murder) crew, but so was every other crew,. By strong do you mean if they went to war, if so yes they were as strong as Gotti crew , but they weren't as strong as some say the Demeo crew!!! I believe Demeo could have wiped Jimmy and Paul Vario out fast!!! But they were a tough crew
I lived in a relatively smallish suburb of Washington DC when the Godfather movie came out. For some reason that I can't remember now, I had a blank gun. It looked just like a .357 Magnum, had a 9" barrel on it. In twilight or darker it looked damn real going off. We left the movie theater after seeing the Godfather and saw someone sitting on a fence. Needless to say we "took a shot" at him and he fell off so quickly I had to check and make sure it was still my blank gun. We sped off to my house, switched cars and came back to the area, there were cops everywhere. To this day if I've gotten together with one or more of those guys it comes up.
Hilarious funny fun fact. As the "Goodfellas" film production was about to/had started, deniro requested a visit to meet with jimmy the gent in prison. Jimmy refused to grant deniro an audience despite him driving all the way to the prison just to see him! Lol! Maybe thats why deniro played a much more subdued jimmy lol. Cause he had no clue how he was.
Everything I’ve heard about Jimmy Burke although he was under the wing of Vario you get the impression if any other families made men tried to take what was his he would have a buried them. He was around New York nobody seemed to mess with him did they ?
Thank you so much for watching our show 😁 if you would like to ask Sal questions tomorrow feel free to join our live tomorrow ruclips.net/user/live0UYy1qjNbmU?si=C2FO_REcrRMHVnZ9
There's a good 30 For 30 on espn about the Boston College scandal. Also a book on it. There's also two books written about the Lufthansa Heist and of course Henry's 2 books about his life.
2 Questions for Sal. Do you think the characters are realistic of other guys in the life, eg you said Pesci's version of Tommy is was not accurate due to size etc but I wonder if Scorsese used the Wiseguy book as a structure for the movie and merged various mob guys into the movie characters. My questions, 1) If not Tommy himself, were there people like Pesci's version of Tommy in your life? 2) Although Henry's personal story is exaggerated, are the background characters and general scenes in the movie accurate to your old life?
Another great interview, Sal tells these stories perhaps better than anyone else out there from that life. Also, has Sal ever addressed the story he told in the Mirror where he "once sliced off a man’s testicles"?
I enjoy having the life experiences from someone who was entrenched in that hole group of mobsters while avoiding getting killed avoided doing extremely long prison sentences at the same time just a suggestion it would be great if you guys invested a little bit and went out with sal preferably in the winter cold months during the day and pointed out locations where he ran his businesses or where other famous mobster activities he was involved in happened like his deli is chop shops his car lots in such-and-such all through Queens in the New York area it would definitely improve and enhance the storytelling experience telling excuse me
I was the very last person to see Jimmy Burke I left him in Wendes Max and he was going to a medical facility to die from stage 4 cancer unfortunately and I gave the messages to his daughter Kathy Burke and The Roach in Auburn and a message to my father about a heist ! I still have the kite 🪁 the is a letter he penned and sent out through people he trusted and if you know Jimmy he didn’t trust anyone ! I enjoyed my time with this real gangster!!!
Sal who was your uncle from your book I think you said in the book he went jail with sonny soon as you told him you was into the junk business he turned he’s back on you ?
Wow that is terrible. Thank you for watching 😁 if you would like to ask Sal a question tomorrow feel free to join our live tomorrow ruclips.net/user/live0UYy1qjNbmU?si=C2FO_REcrRMHVnZ9
could you ask if Sal knew John Riccobono? he used to run Salvation club back in the early 70's before moving to miami and starting business with medelin cartel, his uncle was Carlo Gambinos consiglieri.
Me thinks he was much more than 200 lbs in his prime. I moved from How'beach when I was 12, but I remember him well since he lived one corner down. He used to slow down and wave to us kids playing roller hockey and football on 160th Ave. He and Frankie were in our house once.. My Father was 5 foot 9 205lbs. My Brother Bart was 6 foot 1 240lbs . Middle Linebacker at St Johns. Mr Burke had to be 250-260lbs atleast. Frankie (RIP) his Oldest son was probably a 6 footer but slimmer, like 190ish..wiry. The Gent was A local Hulk. We had no idea would he really was..John Gotti either until 1985ish when everything was in the NY Post and Daily News everyday. You had your ideas, but once the media got hold of it, it all came out...Lufthansa Heist, Boston College point shaving, Castellano Hit. The Teflon Don...Then...everyone knew! Matt NYC
Sounds like he didn't run with them for long, and wasn't in varios crew, so probably wouldnt be many photos, has sal just come out of prison, or just started releasing content ? Great podcast tho
Henry Hill names Sal in the book, Sal was there and knew all these people, he was around Jimmy in the early days doing truck hijackings but he gave up robbing for selling drugs, he did some time in jail and I think he bought what became a popular bar/club, so it's not like he was rolling with those guys doing crimes together for longer than a couple years. But he knew them. Gotti's crew too.
@@porkflaps4717 ok so the only source you gave was that (junkie) henry hill “named him” in his book. Named him doing what? Then you proceed to spout his lies saying oh yeah he knew jimmy he knew johnny. How gullible can you be?
Sure, Hill was a junkie piece of shit but answer this- why in the world would Sal's name be in that book if Sal didn't know these people? He alleges Sal was the guy who told him Gotti whacked Tommy Desimone.. now Hill is most likely telling a whopper there, but how does Sal's name even get in there if he doesn't know them?
Invest in yourself… you are a good at regurgitating movies and old established RUclips content, glad to see that you did your homework and paid attention
This guy is hysterical, he knows and has been with more people than the actual made guys themselves, yet we've never heard any of the real-deal guys ever even mention this guy. If you listen to this guy, one person wouldn't have enough time if they lived 3 lifetimes, he was with everybody "all the time", how thats possible is beyond me. Hes another one of those guys who popped up and talks about everybody whos dead now, another funny thing is that he uses terms and words that are more Hollywood than anything. I'm a 53-year old Italian street guy who was born, raised and still live and work in NYC, I've NEVER heard anyone call their stolen shit "swag", thats total Hollywood nonsense!!! I've never heard anyone use the word "heist" either, this is how i know people are bullshitting because theres things that were never said or talked about out loud, even Sammy the bull says a lot of bullshit because of things he says are things that would NEVER be said and words that would NEVER be used, they got so much of their shit from Hollywood.
I can't stand this guy. I've been thinking how he's always there with his stories with all the famous guys, but they never mentioned him. None of them ever mentioned him in their accounts. Because of Goodfellas the Vario crew are famous but we never ever heard about Sal. But here he is! Because of his killing a boss and his battles with the FBI Gotti was famous. We never heard anything about Sal. But there's a video about him and Gotti! Roy Demeo is famous as a mass murdering psycho out of the Gemini Lounge. I've never seen any documentary on that subject that mentioned Sal. But there's a video on him and his partnership with Demeo! lol. Of course there is. I figured this guy out for a complete story telling bullshitter long ago. What an asshole.
Yes he is! 😁 thanks for watching. If you would like to ask him any questions we will be doing a live tomorrow ruclips.net/user/live0UYy1qjNbmU?si=C2FO_REcrRMHVnZ9
What the fuck are you talking about ffs, I’ve never heard so much shit in my life, considering Jimmy was a Irishman he had absolutely no clout whatsoever he did exactly what the Italians told him to do, he was a earner and that’s about it.
I really have to laugh when they call a person a mastermind, yet he got caught and died in jail!! Was also a murderer!! What are you going to say next” oh rest in peace jimmy” he is not resting in peace guaranteed!! Wake up will ya!
He’s pretty likeable and a good storyteller but the stuff about looking at the truckers address and the gimme’s and some of the other anecdotes is all in the movie and book, half of this stuff anyone interested in that life knows already.
Tommy Agro killed Tommy, Agro also killed Tommy's brother at a later date. This was known by many long before the filming of Goodfellas, after the movie came out, everyone had a theory, that's where all the confusion on the subject stems from.
I don't remember where I first heard it was Agro, with John G present, or who said it, I would imagine it was from either someone with a button or an associate, it was when Goodfellas first came out, but I know I heard Tommy Dade on a couple of occasions say he was 1000% percent sure it was Agro that killed both brothers, he did not tell me personally, although I have met him before, but he's pretty authoritative on things of that nature, I highly doubt I'll ever run into him again, but if I do, I will inquire, until then that's the story I'm going with, unless you have some info that would make me reconside. . Not really that important to me anyway, we are still here, he's not, and I know plenty of guys who had their dance card punched for a hell of a lot less, I can live with that.
@@timothylamattina3697 yea it’s been speculated and twisted.. Vario was getting heat from the Gambinos , Tommy caused too much trouble, he tried to rape Hill’s wife while Paul was having an affair, originally John Gotti was going to take him out with his crew pressuring P Vario but they decided to take him out themselves.. Agro indeed killed his brother but not Tommy
Henry Hill tells it in his book. The guard never took his keys off, even on his day off. So they hired a hooker to show him a good time and while that was happening Henry took his keys to a locksmith and had copy’s made of all the keys because they didn’t know which key it was😂. And then rushed the keys back before they were finished
Frank got killed over a drug deal that went wrong, outside a bar in New York I know that is true but, what ever happened to Jessie I have no idea but, someone says he’s a attorney now so if that’s true,then good luck to the guy.
That’s a good question! Thanks for watching 😁 if you would like to ask Sal this question tomorrow feel free to join our live ruclips.net/user/live0UYy1qjNbmU?si=C2FO_REcrRMHVnZ9
Jimmy Burke is a legend. No. Robert DeNiro is a legend. The gangsters were only capable of smelly bars, filthy garages and garbage dumps. I would rather remember the victims and their loved ones.
Sal you really need to go on reformed gangsters. And straighten out Fat Andy's son. Angelo's stories and your stories don't jive at all. I believe your stories to be leget. Check out his podcast of Tommy DeSamone. He doesn't know what he talking about. He's very miss leading. I think his memory's slipping or he's just putting out 🐂💩?
If goodfellas was 100% accurate noone would be able to stomach it. These guys were absolutely brutal. Imagine watching a guy getting strangled to death in real life? I submit it would be a little different than the movies. Great interview.
That you Matt, glad you enjoyed our video 😁
😂
I actually think the movie was softer 😂
Well they do have to make it a movie😂😂😂😂😂 yess a thorough mob documentary be good
Woohoo!
I've been on a Sal Polisi binger lately (lol) and have always been fascinated by Burke..
Thanks for watching 😁 Sal has got plenty more stories. Stay tuned my friend
The Burkes Lived one block away from us . Matt NYC
Were Jimmy Burke alive today, he would be figuring out how to get 50% off the top of your channel. Thank you both for the historical entertainment.
We’re glad your enjoying the content stay tune we got more coming 😁
If he were alive he’d be applying for V.O’s 🤷🏻♂️
oh man, you made me laugh so hard but in this case, Sal got the jump on him, lol.
Lmao. Probably true
Sal, I appreciate your viewpoint in the mafia, it's a breath of fresh air from other channels. Keep doing what you are doing.
We appreciate that! We stay out of the drama it takes away from the real content.
Jimmy Burke is a legend
The interviewer’s “research” is watching Goodfellas. 😂 I would prefer just listening to Sal tell stories.
The guy interviewing him sucks.
The opening was rough Let Sal talk you're going on and on lol ! Great podcast 💯
Really enjoyed this thank you and I just subscribed

It was Paulie's brother Tuddy's cabstand, he had one leg having lost it in the war.
Damn I love oldskool mafia stories..you're the best company guys...Jimmy ..Athens Greece..
Thank you! Your a very kind Jimmy 😁
I have seen a lot of guys say Paul vario had a huge and super solid crew
Thanks for watching 😁 Paul would go on to be a capo (boss) in the family.
Yea I don’t think that’s much a secret lol
a crew so solid he died in prison
@@investinyourselfpodcastPaul was officially a capo as far back as the early 60s.
Everyone but Henry Hill
You guys are the best , great tandem !!!
Great job guys !!
Thank you
Thank you Alex! Your a gentleman 😁
I could listen to this stuff all day thanks 👍
Thanks for listening! We got plenty more coming for you my friend 😁👍
Love the stories, keep up the good work fellas 👏
Glad you like them! We will my friend 😁
I think the casting of Pesci as Tommy was a masterstroke. It was meant to be a caricature. Of someone, something, out of control. Which it sounds like the real Tommy was. Pesci nailed it
Yes he was a great actor in this movie 😁
@@investinyourselfpodcast thanks for replying. Great channel. Watching in UK
But the real Tommy was huge unlike Joe Pesci
I think Deniro also did a phenomenal job playing Burke .
Unfortunately i was the last person from the neighborhood that seen him alive Wende CF medical unit before he went to hospice facility and died of cancer .
I just give the thumbs up before I watch it saves time later il even say salute great show 👊 🏴 💙 💙 💙
Thanks Mark! I hope you enjoyed today’s episode 😁

Hey I appreciate you playing us during the game 😁 I know Sal is watching the games today to
@@investinyourselfpodcast well you can tell Sal I book and I’m still watching you and him lol
Burke wasn't a "member" of any crew. He was just an associate---a very powerful and respected one, but an associate.
I love hearing this guy love the way he tells the story he makes it sound fun even though its a crime lol good stuff
The Sinatra club was a great movie Sal. I enjoyed it and still watch it now and then. Thanks.
We appreciate the support! 😁😯 he did make a great movie!
Excellent cast. You did a great job.😁
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Good work I love your channel. I’d like to see the other half of Roy DeMeo’s pool party.

YES, (I.I.Y.) ... I taught my staff back in the early 1980's to "invest in themselves" exactly as worded that way. I KNEW someone down the road would pick up on the same philosophy as their mantra for success, instead of the belief that a stock or other investment would make them rich. Good term.
Excellent! Your absolutely right! Once you Invest In Yourself anything is possible in this world. 😁
How strong was Paul Vario crew during this time with Burke? Was it stonger than the Gambino crew at the time?
Depends on what you mean strong? They were good earners and were a capable (murder) crew, but so was every other crew,. By strong do you mean if they went to war, if so yes they were as strong as Gotti crew , but they weren't as strong as some say the Demeo crew!!! I believe Demeo could have wiped Jimmy and Paul Vario out fast!!! But they were a tough crew
@@jimthompson4068 👍🏻
DeMeo crew was the most vicious crew with the Westies in NY
Paul vario had the most power at JFK international... That means a lot in that era... ALOTTTT of money to be made hijacking back in the 60s and 70s.
I lived in a relatively smallish suburb of Washington DC when the Godfather movie came out. For some reason that I can't remember now, I had a blank gun. It looked just like a .357 Magnum, had a 9" barrel on it. In twilight or darker it looked damn real going off. We left the movie theater after seeing the Godfather and saw someone sitting on a fence. Needless to say we "took a shot" at him and he fell off so quickly I had to check and make sure it was still my blank gun.

2 Questions for Sal. Do you think the characters are realistic of other guys in the life, eg you said Pesci's version of Tommy is was not accurate due to size etc but I wonder if Scorsese used the Wiseguy book as a structure for the movie and merged various mob guys into the movie characters.
My questions,
1) If not Tommy himself, were there people like Pesci's version of Tommy in your life?
2) Although Henry's personal story is exaggerated, are the background characters and general scenes in the movie accurate to your old life?
Who played this big shot in the movie? And how come no one ever talks about him
Because hes a liar
This channel is great.
Glad you enjoy our shows 😁 we got plenty more coming my friends!
Beautiful show Sir
Viva la Famiglia.
Glad you enjoyed our show. 😁👍
Another great interview, Sal tells these stories perhaps better than anyone else out there from that life. Also, has Sal ever addressed the story he told in the Mirror where he "once sliced off a man’s testicles"?
Thanks for watching 😁 we will be covering that soon.
A close second to Sammy The Bull.
I am a survivor Especially as a seventy year old so as a teenager I worked and did stuff
Sliced the testie’s, fried them in butter with garlic and had them with over toast with a nice pepper sauce… 🙄
I enjoy having the life experiences from someone who was entrenched in that hole group of mobsters while avoiding getting killed avoided doing extremely long prison sentences at the same time just a suggestion it would be great if you guys invested a little bit and went out with sal preferably in the winter cold months during the day and pointed out locations where he ran his businesses or where other famous mobster activities he was involved in happened like his deli is chop shops his car lots in such-and-such all through Queens in the New York area it would definitely improve and enhance the storytelling experience telling excuse me
Not gonna happen..... Guy is full of s1ht! 😜
What are you on about? Trying to put a hit together… 😮💨
I was the very last person to see Jimmy Burke I left him in Wendes Max and he was going to a medical facility to die from stage 4 cancer unfortunately and I gave the messages to his daughter Kathy Burke and The Roach in Auburn and a message to my father about a heist ! I still have the kite 🪁 the is a letter he penned and sent out through people he trusted and if you know Jimmy he didn’t trust anyone ! I enjoyed my time with this real gangster!!!
How about some florida stories. Sal and these guys used to hang down there too right?
Maybe. I’ll have to ask him that one. Thanks for watching 😁
From hearing Sal. Another reason that Tommy might have got clipped was to take his cut from the Lufthansa heist. 🤣
Comment like share great pod
You rock! Glad you enjoyed the show 😁
What’s Sal fav Marie movie after the godfather ? Love these podcasts
Thanks for watching Sal will be making his rounds for questions soon.
Nobody talked about Angelo sepe. The guy Sal was talking to in Lewisburg was sepe, not Angelo ruggerio
Sal who was your uncle from your book I think you said in the book he went jail with sonny soon as you told him you was into the junk business he turned he’s back on you ?
Jimmy burke was a real gentleman !

I really have to laugh when they call a person a mastermind, yet he got caught and died in jail!! Was also a murderer!! What are you going to say next” oh rest in peace jimmy” he is not resting in peace guaranteed!! Wake up will ya!
Thanks for watching 👍
My first x box fell off a back of a truck
Wow I guess that stuff still going on 😟 Thanks for watching 😁
@@investinyourselfpodcastoh this was back in 2001
Sounds like these guys are taking info from movies and passing it off as fact and life experiences.
@Sal Polisi did you know a guy called Michael Angelo ? He was from that neighborhood a good friend of mine..
What neighborhood
@@brianfitzpatrick9949 East NY near the jfk airport , he lived on Pine st
Hey Sal ‼️ you gotta lose the Hat bro 😎
Lol thanks for watching 😁
9:13 you did research or you watched Goodfellas 😂
Both! 😁
He wikipedias it so he can sit in awe of this guy as he tells his lies.
He’s pretty likeable and a good storyteller but the stuff about looking at the truckers address and the gimme’s and some of the other anecdotes is all in the movie and book, half of this stuff anyone interested in that life knows already.
John did not kill Tommy, it was Pete the killer Sals brother
Tommy Agro killed Tommy, Agro also killed Tommy's brother at a later date. This was known by many long before the filming of Goodfellas, after the movie came out, everyone had a theory, that's where all the confusion on the subject stems from.
@@timothylamattina3697 Agro only killed his brother not Tommy and it wasn’t any Gambino either
I don't remember where I first heard it was Agro, with John G present, or who said it, I would imagine it was from either someone with a button or an associate, it was when Goodfellas first came out, but I know I heard Tommy Dade on a couple of occasions say he was 1000% percent sure it was Agro that killed both brothers, he did not tell me personally, although I have met him before, but he's pretty authoritative on things of that nature, I highly doubt I'll ever run into him again, but if I do, I will inquire, until then that's the story I'm going with, unless you have some info that would make me reconside.
.
Not really that important to me anyway, we are still here, he's not, and I know plenty of guys who had their dance card punched for a hell of a lot less, I can live with that.
@@timothylamattina3697 yea it’s been speculated and twisted.. Vario was getting heat from the Gambinos , Tommy caused too much trouble, he tried to rape Hill’s wife while Paul was having an affair, originally John Gotti was going to take him out with his crew pressuring P Vario but they decided to take him out themselves.. Agro indeed killed his brother but not Tommy
I remember buying stuff out of the trunk of cars when i was kid in the 70's. Some was even legitimate.
It still goes on
Did Sam know any Chicago guys? Frank Cullota? Tony Spilotro?
There are things that are not true , the 302's the FBI report don't reflect what Polish is gabbing about
Aperently paulie always looked scruffy in real life ya know like he could do with a good bath he wasnt no smartly dressed dapper mobster.
Thanks for watching 😁 that would be a good question to ask sal !
Paul Sorvino...he was not...Matt NYC
I have never a a part of
Jimmy burke was sleeping with Thomas deSimone sister when she was 16 years old.
Never heard the prostitute bribe story, very cool Adrian. Enjoyed the Sinatra Club. That's how I got here. Whatever happened to Frank and Jesse Burke?
Thanks for watching 😁 I’m glad you enjoy the show ! Frankie ended up being killed. I’m not sure was Jesse.
@@investinyourselfpodcast Jesse James is an attorney and seems to be living a normal life.
Henry Hill tells it in his book. The guard never took his keys off, even on his day off. So they hired a hooker to show him a good time and while that was happening Henry took his keys to a locksmith and had copy’s made of all the keys because they didn’t know which key it was😂. And then rushed the keys back before they were finished
wow @@Mike-tu7uw
Frank got killed over a drug deal that went wrong, outside a bar in New York I know that is true but, what ever happened to Jessie I have no idea but, someone says he’s a attorney now so if that’s true,then good luck to the guy.
Tommy was 20 something yo and strong. How come he couldn’t do some push ups
That’s a good question! Thanks for watching 😁 if you would like to ask Sal this question tomorrow feel free to join our live ruclips.net/user/live0UYy1qjNbmU?si=C2FO_REcrRMHVnZ9
He actually wasn’t a big strong guy. He was tall and a huge coke addict
@@BostonsF1nestShidddd he was strong enough to beat people to death with his bare hands
@@Nixkrude79 that never happened lol
@@BostonsF1nest It's stories out there about Tommy beating people to death bt we all know they get overshadowed by his murder stories
Me my friends were in South Side Inn the night FBI came looking for bodies in basement that was summer 79 or 80
Jimmy Burke is a legend. No. Robert DeNiro is a legend. The gangsters were only capable of smelly bars, filthy garages and garbage dumps. I would rather remember the victims and their loved ones.
lol this guy wasnt even in the mafia if he was and he knew all these people why doesnt anyone talk about him his a fake
Exactly. Why does Sal only mention famous people. Why not mention someone else and we can look them up ourselves? Really low bar stuff
He was spider he used to make the cups of tea 😂
The guy is for real just a smart guy
Sal Polisi live the coke alone
Thanks for watching 😁
Sal you really need to go on reformed gangsters. And straighten out Fat Andy's son. Angelo's stories and your stories don't jive at all. I believe your stories to be leget. Check out his podcast of Tommy DeSamone. He doesn't know what he talking about. He's very miss leading. I think his memory's slipping or he's just putting out 🐂💩?
