WHY are you so jealous of Scott. maybe he got a few things wrong but he knowss more than most oc journalists and certainly knows a lot more than someone like you. he could give interesting shit to the forum but prob wont b.c of assholes like you. try being nice. highly doubt you're this confrontational in real life.

First, learn to use the quote function. Second, he's gotten a lot more than "a few things" wrong. Third, he knows more about making elaborate mob fantasy charts but that's about it. Fourth, my comment above was pure wit mixed with some Sopranos, not confrontational. Now mind run along and mind your own business.

What if this is the best thing to happen to joey. Good luck trying a case on him now. The authority on mafia has him shelved. Lets see who goes to his 70th bday then we’ll all know. Mayoface will be taking pics from the bushes.


arrivederci per ora amici miei

Not the beginning of the end but the end end of his days in that life and Joeys not stupid, he knew it too.

Well to be fair. Mikey Scars (ex gambino captain) in his podcast said he is surprised by the shelving and months ago still thought if joey wanted to meet with ny bosses they would. So I dont think its obvious as you make it sound to be.

Which means he’s spending prolly around 50k for a two week vacation. Must be nice to the boss. He deserves it! He’s a man’s man and risked life,limb and liberty to make it to that spot! God bless and keep on keeping on!

mandarin in milan is a lot more than 1500. every breakfast is like 100 bucks pp. and these crazy fees.

4 seasons just north of florence? 15K p week minimum

im sure he has a few foreign gazillionaires that just give him money. so much money in boca/palm bch etc area.

he dont own his own car or has these ppl just buy him shit. JOEY IS ALL SHOW, NO DOUGH

Does it really matter if he’s shelved? These guys have done a lot of time for each other. I highly doubt any structure has existed in quite some time. I think it’s more a group of criminals who have gone semi legitimate who work with guys they have known for a while on some side hustles, more than it is the mob anymore. Do we really think people are paying a street tax? Or that there is much of a gambling operation, most of the time when snuff and Joey are at the clubhouse in Philly, they are trying to get someone to get a bet in at the casino for them, if those guys are not betting on credit with a bookie who the hell is except for real dead beats? Knowing what we know about Joey if hundred of 1000’s were up for grabs on the street, do we think he would doing a podcast, selling hats, cigars, and cheesesteaks? And if we was “put on the shelf” and nobody can associate what is the punishment for Faffy being with him the other night in the clubhouse during the YouTube live? Do we really think when Stevie is out he won’t associate with Joey?

Live long enough and history repeats itself with the speculation about guys being at odds. Shelved? I don't believe it for a second. Joey's retired, philly style. He's stepped away, not down. Same guys running things take the official spots. Now nobody from outside the family (or inside) is REQUIRED to deal with Joey. Let's everybody save face and the wheel keep turning. He can still get envelopes from certain connected guys but able to try out this "2nd career", so to speak. Inventive way to stay out of the can for sure. As we know with OC, the rules are bent all the time depending on the people involved.

I remember that. They also said the others had gone legit and that Stevie Mazzone was a low-level player who had nothing to do with anything anymore. Later of course we find out he's the underboss lol

Listen to me,the only reason Merlino is alive is that Pete Tuccio is jailed and can't kill him for make his bones and inducted in philly mob.

Joey walking the Nabe. Guy is funny as F to watch.

He really is a great watch lol

I don't get what's so funny." Talking about I'm going to get my lawyer" "you rats" "I'll call my lawyer" eating a cheesesteak, looking at framed newspaper articles on the wall, petting a dog...maybe, it's a Philly thing. Idk I don't see it the draw.

still the most entertaining boss we've ever come across. even if and IMO he's no longer a official boss. that family took him down probaly reluctantly to save there stature, integrity or whatever it is. save face. you want to be taken as seriously as those other 5 families in NYC and the other 2 in the northeast your boss cant be doing vlad tv and youtube rounds

Is his podcast even any good?

I stopped listening a long time ago. He never talks about anything mob related. I don't know if it's financially successful, but it's boring as hell in my opinion.

I can't imagine him making good money from the podcast. Like you said it is boring. It has no point lately. Was about gambling, with a few old time stories, then about rats. Now its just him and snuff taking selfies in a pool. He looks like a jerkoff really. I know he doesn't care, but he looks desperate.
