I met both Frank Cotroni Sr. and Joe Di Maulo very briefly. Di Maulo was much friendlier.

Believe it or not, I’m the kid in the video that calls merlino my idol…I’ve known a lot of the Philly guys my whole life, but that’s
My claim to fame. Merlino, stevie and uncle joe are probably the biggest mafia guys I’ve talked to. I’ve loved it from my friends, it can get embarrassing from time to time.

Never met a made guy but I knew a guy who claimed he was with one of the Gambino siblings. Probably full of shit but he owned a bunch of properties and was an asshole. So there's that.

Maybe some pictures or something, no I was never told to say that as most people think. At the time he was the coolest person around I didn’t know he was doing bad things, just knew he was super cool in my area, all the women loved him. Trust me, my one buddy brought it out at his engagement party to introduce us all. I cringe now seeing it haha.

First we're going to eat a Thanksgiving dinner...turkey and everything. After that, Santa Clause. And then open the gifts.

It's definitely on video. I think it's in a MobFax video on YouTube. I'll look for it when I get a minute.

It's actually mentioned in an Anastasia book I think (The Las Gangster, maybe? talked about how the cops wanted to vomit or something).

Thanks Ivan, my glory days. The news picked it up, I was the neighborhood superstar until I found out what he actually did for a living.

Hilarious that you are the kid in the video. The guys in Philly are not hard to find if you know where to look. Provided you can hold your liquor and not an asshole, Joey and crew are fun guys to be around.
