Cool pod, I would recommend one follow up probe, if his family was in sw in the 60s and drugs started pouring in ny, would watching over direct trade routes be a reason to move to sw?
Most are dead or dying. Bring in some chicago guys with exception of frank Calabrese jr. I cant stand a guy who would testify against his dad. Try to bring in nick calabrese, the guy who started family secrets. 2) try phil leonetti but make him wear that dog hair piece. 3) try the chins daughters. One from his first wife, olympia, and one from his 2nd wife, also named olympia. 4) lil al d'arco's son 5) greg scarpa jr 6) joe massino
As a trendifier giga fan I appreciate julians mugs. Life's about the little things and bros attention 2 detail is second to none. Another banger pod. Good shit.
There was no era like the 80s-90s 2000s everyone’s on fentanyl we had real fun in those days no internet in the beginning just beepers kids today will never know
Julian, you’re great at this. I’m glad I found your channel. All the topics I’m most interested in and you ask all the right questions while simultaneously knowing how to converse and build upon the conversation with your own thoughts and insights. It’s not just that you’re interviewing, you’re also bringing something to the table yourself. You’ve got a curious mind and an intellect all your own. I also just realized you could pass for the son of Father Phil on The Sopranos lol 🤙🏽
Hey Julian. If your interested in the mafia. My grandmother was a real estate agent in Nevada. And In the 70/80s the mob moved to Nevada. She was many of there real estate agent. Had insane stories about what they wanted or didn’t want near their houses. Might be looking into looking for sources in that state for what happened after the downfall of the large criminal organization. Also. Your absolutely fire. Very glad to have you on TH-cam my friend. Good luck!
Thank you so much Noah! And yeah haha your Grandma probably saw a thing or ten over the years hanging out around that world 👀 If your grandma has any ideas for guys who are out of the life now we can bring through, I am all ears!
@@JulianDorey sadly she’s passed away a few years ago. But I’m gonna do a deep search into the info I do know. Will definitely get back with you if I find anything of substance👌
@@JulianDorey I think I watched a Koncrete podcast and then you came up in suggestions. So glad I found your channel, it's spectacular. I have shared it with a bunch of friends
My man ! I’m still spreading the word !! I love your podcast. Just getting settled in for this one. I have no doubt it’ll be a banger once again. With love from Canada 🇨🇦
His nephew Ryan Bonanno was one of best friends growing up. NJ, I remember when the area got hot and they moved to Arizona. One of the sons is/was a doctor. Going over his house I never realized the things going on in the other rooms
This was an absolutely fascinating interview! I watched the entire thing, totally transfixed and couldn't believe that over 2 hrs had gone by. Netflix has got to option that book done by his Dad and Joe Pistone. That would be a definite multi episode/season hit; I'm so in for that! This was such a great interview- I'm now a huge fan!
Okay so ima go ahead and admit that I am literally addicted to this podcast!! Lol and that's 💯, also this is the first thing to Grace my ears in the 1st pair of beats I've ever had lol. The thumbnail on this one got me a solid chuckle and as always, just a magnificent work of content, especially since you fly solo. I'll never be unimpressed with your brain power lol like if I could remember 3 plus hours of good engaging questions I'd have to have a stack of cards like a game show host lol Stay excellent Julian!! 😃 Also I've gotten my husband, his boss, my daughter's teacher, my boss, and my district manager on the Trendifier train and lemme tell ya, the conversations are starting to get very interesting it's so good! So thank you for that!!
I almost wanna frame this comment and put it on my bedroom wall lol - thank you Christina!! I’m really glad you found me on here and that is a HUGE HELP spreading the word about the show to so many people like that. Amazing!! 🙌💯
@@JulianDorey I believe I can speak for all of us in your captive audience when I say it's a pleasure to share this podcast. You alone have restored so much of my faith in humanity and for our younger generations. Being a 20 something and putting content out that isn't just for viral clicks is the breath of fresh air we all need. And the fact you engage with all of us is simply amazing. For me it's awesome watching your content knowing my comments are floating around your head somewhere lol it's awesome!
I am having trouble remembering what I USED to watch prior to discovering you and your channel......just some of the f**king best content out there....plain and simple....thanks for doing what you do!
Another gem my brother!!! I always look forward to seeing what's written on the mugs...lol why waste a perfectly good box of cannolis, idda took em too lol. Blessings from me and min to you and yours, hope you and ya loved ones have a safe and happy Holidays and New Year!! #GodBless #AlwaysLove #MuchRespect # BlessingsandPositiveVibes
Joseph Bonanno, is the Top Godfather of all the other figures in this world. The fact is was the youngest boss , was low key and stayed solid! Even my other favorite luck was to flashy and hot headed and less disciplined! Joseph was 1 of 1 he should have a blockbuster movie or a series on a big network and his book men of honor should be in universities
Absolutely incredible podcast. So much history on not only the mafia, but politics and Hollywood and New York City as well! Made so many notes during this podcast. Good last minute Christmas gift ideas too 😅
@@JulianDorey absolutely! I could see the passion and history pouring out of ya in this one! Def gotta get some more "Mafiosos" on the show! would love to hear more (and so would my dad lol) Gonna buy him "A Man of Honor" for christmas i think!
Another great episode, mafia is my favorite topic to listen to! My favorite one so far is Phil Leonetti you should definitely try to get him on your show that would be awesome. Keep up the great work I look forward to every new episode you put out
Thank you Tanner! We will do Phil Leonetti when I can maximize it. As of right now i am still stuck in my parents house with a make shift studio, so dont think we could accommodate blocking him out. And i also live and die with shorts still for now…at the moment, him not having a face is anpotential engagement problem in those feeds
@@JulianDorey I understand that completely, the way your going you will be there eventually. I tell all my friends about you and they all love your show too. I've been a listener from almost the beginning, you have came a long way and you keep improving. Love the direction you're going
WOW! 🤯 I’ve said it before and will say it again THANK you for blowing my mind and confirming suspicions! I don’t know how you find them @JulianDorey but you find the most interesting, intriguing totally fascinating guest of any podcaster! You would a given Diane Sawyer a HARD run for the $ back in the day (thought she was a beast when I was a kid 😁) with the way you conduct your interviews.
Always knew that the godfather was realy based on the Bonanno's.One must be blind not to see that.You v got all my respect having this Bonanno on the show.He looks more like Bill i think......Great show man.Thank you!!!
Read Joe Bonnanos book a while ago and it is still one of the best books I have ever read. His sons book is good as well if this stuff interests you. Different times and different society.
Great interview. I worked on my ancestry a few years ago and found that my grandmother was 1st cousin to Joe B. I'm 4th cousin, twice removed from Salvatore. My father never told me, and I found out after my father passed.....
@@JulianDorey 🤌🤌🤌 Julian, any suggestions how to get your first few podcast guests just starting out? Random question but since we’re going back and forth….👀😂
@@paranormalwithdave i did it all by the seat of my pants and didnt have anyone who anybody had ever heard of until episode 87. I did start finding some gems who just werent public people along the way that had success - but the bottom line is you just gotta feel it out with the content as you go and start with your friends who can conversate well
Joe was a Gangster (capital G) but every boss claims that movie was losely based on them. I'm familiar with Joe's story but as much as Joe can be credited with building this, his book tore it down. It was the first closeup look into that life.
The book was controversial for sure - but I also do buy the idea that no one ever saw RICO coming. That’s what the book helped with obviously - and in hindsight, of course it looks 20-20. Harder to say in 1983 imo
Magadino was the one who said they should have the meeting in the same place as the year before, it was supposed to be a coronation for Vito and also Carlo, plus there was accounts of Bonnano being there too
@@JulianDorey I was thinking of Broadwalk Empire just as you recommended it to Salvatore. Watching it a 2nd time. I specifically loved the scenes with Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano & Al Capone (that British actor nailed the Capone role). Richard Harrow, Arnold Rothstein, Valentin Narcisse & Chalky White were represented well too. Actually, all the characters rung true. Show started slow but got better & better with each season me thinks
@@JulianDorey Stephen Graham can cry on command with such strong emotion. The best actors can. That is not an insult but a deep-seated innate ability to draw on strong emotions & empathy (a skill that can be used for good & evil). In Snatch he does it when his character thinks he's about to die & his life flashes before his eyes (so impressive). In Boardwalk he does it when Capone's character shows weakness (not weakness) AKA true love & empathy for his deaf son's suffering. I don't trust actors 😏but I respect them
where and how do i order some of the shirts that you wear in your podcast shows, I have seen a few in the past few shows that i have watched and I would love to get some new shirts for the collection, anyway you can help me out good sir!
Great interview. I believe there was a lot his Grandfather and father wouldn’t admit to. It’s all about maintaining the family image and the Machiavellian mindset. Plus, I believe they did practice arrange marriages. It’s all about the family. Very tribal people. Great show
The shooter definitely was either a Cuban and from the mafia and a criminal definitely killed him. I'm Cuban born and raised there . I could believe that , but I don't believe Cuba acted alone though. Great interview bro!!!
I was a bit sceptical about your chanel but you are getting better.Like it.Respect from Bosnia.Maybe find someone from Bosnia to talk about Genocide and about war in the Balkans.It's a sad but interesting topic.Keep up the good work!
@@JulianDorey madchild one rapper I can name who used his name in a song that's guy you should have on he lived a crazy life and cuz he mad battle axe warriors ot deported back to Canada lost 3 million to pill an heroin addiction grew up in group homes an he. White guy
If it's okay with you the book, "To Drop a Dime"? It's very hard to find that book and it's very hard to find out who was whacked in the trunk of the car... The book has some pictures! ✌🏼🤟 Forgot to say, it was the New Jersey Mob!
Interview was great. But…. 1) It has been widely reported that when Bonnano went to Sicily in 1957 he and Carmine Gilante met with sicilians and others to establish the “French Connection.”. You really should have asked him how that fits with the alleged Bonanno “no-drug” policy. 2) It doesn’t seem like Salvatore really knows much beyond what has already been published in either Joe Bonanno’s book or Honor Thy Father. I’m not sure I heard anything I didn’t already know other than the Joe Kennedy thing.
Hoffa being the head of the teamsters, my uncle Tommy was big in the coal miners union, way back when. So my father has the picture, my uncle Tommy shaking hands with Jimmy Hoffa. And had you ever met uncle Tommy, you'd swear he was a "made man". Even though, we're not Italian.
I grew up in Tucson. The Bonnano family is well known and respected. My grandfather took a pretty large sum of money from one of Bonnano’s guys in a gin game. Guy decided to drive by my families home (I wasn’t alive yet my mom was a child) and shot through the window. No one was hurt. My grandfather a 5’6 Jewish guy not intimidating at all drove to Joseph’s house. Explained very respectfully what happens. From then on he and Joseph were friends. My grandfather was from Brooklyn. He opened a carpet store in Tucson. Joseph would buy his flooring from us. He was a good man and they’re a good family. Well at least had a net positive in Tucson. I can’t speak to every single one of them. My brother is friends with one of the offspring. He’s a good man too. Smart business man
"Didn't have as tough time as they have today" are you kidding me?! This dude is trying to say that immigrants back than had it easier than immigrants today lmao. I don't know about that one. Either way, great episode and interesting guest. Great job Julian.
2:08:26 I'm sorry but dude doesnt know his shit if he thinks the Armand Asante "Gotti" movie wasnt DOPE. It was an awesome movie especially for an HBO FLICK.
they dumped the people not to lighten the load only, but also iut would require the pursuers to stop to help the people out of the water, at least I would think so. It seems that Joe Kennedy would have had stories following him even if he is in the background rumours would have been swirling and I can't see Hoover not using those somehow. I am speculating but it seems logical that tossing people would be a hindrance somehow.
140 :00 you failed to ask him what names they changed the families to ! As there is dispute and as everyone is now getting killed again it would have been a key point to get his opinion on what is the exact name of the families now and who when there is dispute who each of them recognize as being the top ask it and if they say it pay attention in your interviews and get them to clarify so it is more clear as to who is on whose side !
I'm curious if you were concerned with offending this man? When I was a kid, I idolized these guys, and meeting them, then saying the wrong thing, was my biggest worry. So I'm watching this episode and you appear very comfortable, and not necessarily choosing your words, carefully. So I'm curious

@@JulianDorey I was thinking of Broadwalk Empire just as you recommended it to Salvatore. Watching it a 2nd time. I specifically loved the scenes with Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano & Al Capone (that British actor nailed the Capone role). Richard Harrow, Arnold Rothstein, Valentin Narcisse & Chalky White were represented well too. Actually, all the characters rung true. Show started slow but got better & better with each season me thinks
@@someguy7046 couldnt agree more - and yeah Stephen Graham played the best Capone I’ve ever seen
@@JulianDorey Stephen Graham can cry on command with such strong emotion. The best actors can. That is not an insult but a deep-seated innate ability to draw on strong emotions & empathy (a skill that can be used for good & evil). In Snatch he does it when his character thinks he's about to die & his life flashes before his eyes (so impressive).
In Boardwalk he does it when Capone's character shows weakness (not weakness) AKA true love & empathy for his deaf son's suffering.
I don't trust actors 😏but I respect them
Isn't Sal's mother Rosalie Profaci? Joe's niece? That's heavyweight lineage plus being related to Magadino! Love this interview
Thank you Rob! 🙌 Yes that is correct brotha 💯
A grandfather AND great uncle are Godfathers.......pretty good connections.
Your missing a godfather……
He has 3 godfathers in his relatively close lineage
my family is really cool too. talking about people i just heard were relatives, i could talk about for at least 9 hours
This is my second time watching this
LFG! ✊
He looks so much like his dad.
Francesse should not criticize Bonanno for talking too much.
where and how do i order some of the shirts that you wear in your podcast shows, I have seen a few in the past few shows that i have watched and I would love to get some new shirts for the collection, anyway you can help me out good sir!
His image is of his dad and grandfather rolled into one.
Great interview. I believe there was a lot his Grandfather and father wouldn’t admit to. It’s all about maintaining the family image and the Machiavellian mindset. Plus, I believe they did practice arrange marriages. It’s all about the family. Very tribal people. Great show
The shooter definitely was either a Cuban and from the mafia and a criminal definitely killed him. I'm Cuban born and raised there . I could believe that , but I don't believe Cuba acted alone though. Great interview bro!!!
Julian is the long lost grandson🎉
Excited for this one!
✊✊✊
You did this in your parents basement? Amazing
I was a bit sceptical about your chanel but you are getting better.Like it.Respect from Bosnia.Maybe find someone from Bosnia to talk about Genocide and about war in the Balkans.It's a sad but interesting topic.Keep up the good work!
Thank you brotha - glad things are ramping up around here for you! 🙌 Balkans is such an interesting topic. Had Bek Lover in to talk Kosovo in Ep 95
@@JulianDorey thnx ill look it up.
His grandfather name shows up in rap songs I wonder how he feels about that
Didnt think of that one haha, true
@@JulianDorey madchild one rapper I can name who used his name in a song that's guy you should have on he lived a crazy life and cuz he mad battle axe warriors ot deported back to Canada lost 3 million to pill an heroin addiction grew up in group homes an he. White guy
If it's okay with you the book, "To Drop a Dime"? It's very hard to find that book and it's very hard to find out who was whacked in the trunk of the car... The book has some pictures! ✌🏼🤟 Forgot to say, it was the New Jersey Mob!
Interview was great. But….
1) It has been widely reported that when Bonnano went to Sicily in 1957 he and Carmine Gilante met with sicilians and others to establish the “French Connection.”. You really should have asked him how that fits with the alleged Bonanno “no-drug” policy.
2) It doesn’t seem like Salvatore really knows much beyond what has already been published in either Joe Bonanno’s book or Honor Thy Father. I’m not sure I heard anything I didn’t already know other than the Joe Kennedy thing.
Your grandfathers book "Men of Honor" is the reason Gulianni and them learned how to use RICO
My parents are from the same town in Sicily I find that to be cool lol
Small world!
He’s wrong 57 was because Vito Genovese wanted to be recognized Boss that’s why that was put together
Hoffa being the head of the teamsters, my uncle Tommy was big in the coal miners union, way back when. So my father has the picture, my uncle Tommy shaking hands with Jimmy Hoffa. And had you ever met uncle Tommy, you'd swear he was a "made man". Even though, we're not Italian.
He definitely look like a Bonanno
I need that Lucky shirt
I grew up in Tucson. The Bonnano family is well known and respected. My grandfather took a pretty large sum of money from one of Bonnano’s guys in a gin game. Guy decided to drive by my families home (I wasn’t alive yet my mom was a child) and shot through the window. No one was hurt. My grandfather a 5’6 Jewish guy not intimidating at all drove to Joseph’s house. Explained very respectfully what happens. From then on he and Joseph were friends. My grandfather was from Brooklyn. He opened a carpet store in Tucson. Joseph would buy his flooring from us. He was a good man and they’re a good family. Well at least had a net positive in Tucson. I can’t speak to every single one of them. My brother is friends with one of the offspring. He’s a good man too. Smart business man
You never ask him if his grandfather new Mayer lansky
holy shit that does look like his grandpa
Doppleganger
"Didn't have as tough time as they have today" are you kidding me?! This dude is trying to say that immigrants back than had it easier than immigrants today lmao. I don't know about that one. Either way, great episode and interesting guest. Great job Julian.
2:08:26 I'm sorry but dude doesnt know his shit if he thinks the Armand Asante "Gotti" movie wasnt DOPE. It was an awesome movie especially for an HBO FLICK.
He also said it had “C and D list actors.” Pretty sure John Travolta doesn’t qualify ….whatever one might think of him.
Carlo Gambino was technically the last boss of bosses Don Carlo
There was no real boss of bosses past ‘31
Would love to see Sammy react to this interview or Michael franchesse
Right.....and hé is so down to earth
Wow he looks f-ing identical to his grandfather..
It’s uncanny
Did you say the 1996 HBO Gotti movie was awful???? How dare you, sir?! 😮
Was not a fan haha
"getting chased so they needed to lighten the load by throwing people overboard" sounds completely made up
they dumped the people not to lighten the load only, but also iut would require the pursuers to stop to help the people out of the water, at least I would think so. It seems that Joe Kennedy would have had stories following him even if he is in the background rumours would have been swirling and I can't see Hoover not using those somehow. I am speculating but it seems logical that tossing people would be a hindrance somehow.
Wasnt it VITO GENOVSE who wanted the 1957 meeting too discuss who was the new people running the families now , vito and carlo
Also access to the whitehouse
Appalachia was to discuss the takeover over of Albert Anastasia’s rackets
Didn't Gaspar D have something to do with the uprising against Bonnano originally?
leave the gun, take the cannolis
🤌🤌
Wow does he look like his Grandfather 😮
Your tha GOAT
Hahaha thank you my guy! 🙌
Dad and Grandpa must of not told Sal about Carmine LILO Galante.💪
Wow his family is many generations into this organized crime life dates all the way back many generations via Sicily. 🇮🇹🙌🏽🇺🇸
140 :00 you failed to ask him what names they changed the families to ! As there is dispute and as everyone is now getting killed again it would have been a key point to get his opinion on what is the exact name of the families now and who when there is dispute who each of them recognize as being the top ask it and if they say it pay attention in your interviews and get them to clarify so it is more clear as to who is on whose side !
Gotti, the 1996 film is a brilliant watch and Michael Franzese didn't rat on anyone.

What's up cous?
I'm curious if you were concerned with offending this man? When I was a kid, I idolized these guys, and meeting them, then saying the wrong thing, was my biggest worry. So I'm watching this episode and you appear very comfortable, and not necessarily choosing your words, carefully. So I'm curious
