I enjoy the parody and critical evaluation bordering mocking. Don't forget, Pennisi believes he too is not a rat and lining his pockets. Jerry's always been a ham. And like the MSM, he has one source: government officials.

that's the thing with Pennisi-his holier than thou routine. like he says on the podcast he can't work with convicted felons for and I quote "personal reasons"(if it's legal say it) and so many questions he won't answer...it's just about himself trying to look good. he deserves the capeci scrutiny because he offers zero transparency about himself.

Reporting a story about the Pennisi sitdowns as if it were a new thing, this started a long time ago the prices for the sitdowns are posted pretty publicly if he cared (or even knew) how to make his way around Youtube, etc. Capeci obviously has his stories all queued up and holds things back and saves them for other weeks, either that or this guy is really late to the ballgame sort of speak in terms of reporting on this. Defense attorneys, etc are obviously needling him to report things/giving him ideas on Pennisi as a drip drip pieces, to get under Pennisi's skin (notice Pennisi has made his IG private) and who knows get him violated or some law enforcement folks to start asking questions whether it is warranted or not.
This is a really good point. Not that his column really needs to be a live, up-to-the-minute type of thing, because of the niche it serves... but still... I never really thought about that until you mentioned it: it really feels like he just has stories queued up on deck for weeks -> a month at a time, and if something big happens to go on between all of that, he can easily bounce a story off and replace it with something more breaking. Whatever, I'd probably do the same thing, can't fault him.

I'm happy GL still exists at the end of the day. But I think he's doing everybody a disservice when he simply recaps what was talked about or what happened on podcasts 2-3 weeks ago. A majority of his readers, besides a handful of Boomers or old timers, are probably listeners of those same very podcasts.

So, now he’s plugging it to make up for lost time.
Pennisi beat up that girl almost to death? that's news to me. anybody hear about that. or am I the last?
What is the background on that? I like Pennisi but agree his shtick is getting old - but if he's hitting women than this LaVecchia guy is a fucking moron of a businessman for thinking this would work.

I dont blame you for thinking of cancelling. You can always read it when its posted on BH from one other esteemed members of the forum.

Thanks for posting.

He's obsessed with Pennisi to the point of parody. Capeci is talking more about the podcast than the podcast is talking about him. Not sure what Capeci's end game is with the open cynicism toward Pennisi and LaVecchia every week. Anything that keeps people interested in the mob in 2021 is a net positive for everyone who covers it.

Former mafia members write books and make movies, relatives of murderers get reality TV shows, etc. Franzese did his speaking tours and has his own little group of subscribers who pay him, now Pennisi is doing these webcam sessions for money. I don't see how any of it is ethically different. People find all kinds of ways to make money off the fact that they were in the mob and in today's world a big way to make money is through audience interaction online. I'm surprised it took this long for "Skype with a mobster" to hit the market.

Maybe Capeci should offer Skype sessions. I'd probably have more questions for him than I would some of the guys on the podcast circuit.
