My dad's company used to rent a big warehouse on 4th Ave. in Brooklyn. The entire block is owned by someone, if not more blocks. On the day of signing the contract, the guy says, "Don't worry about security here. Ain't nobody stupid enough to steal in this neighborhood. However, if you do run into any problems, don't bother calling the cops, give us a call directly and we'll handle everything."
Hahaha that sounds super dramatic and movie like! Love it
I met a guy and he said." How you doin." Had to be a mob hitman.
You've been bugging me for the story for years, and now you've got it! I loved living in NYC and all the unusual experiences that made it special. Enjoy!
The FICARRA.. has a nice ring to it. Maybe someday, there’s a supercar named after you..or not. Here’s my card, we should sit down and talk.
You don't ask the mob if it can be red, because the answer is "what shade?"
Love you John
You've been bugging me for years? "Guilty as charged". Now we have it? "Indeed we do, and IMHO it was worth the wait and will be a Ficarra/VinWiki classic! You should have offered them some gabbagool as a tribute. {just saying.} #ThisCanBeRed #FicarraClassic #VinWiki
Could be that you were just profiling them and you've watched too many mob movies!
The mafia is and has been heavily involved in the ports and especially the produce markets in California thru the union..if you dont hire their guys to unload you or if you dont pay to use their docks, you sit...
I definitely Fangirl for John Ficarra… Every story he tells is like one of those most interesting man in the world commercials.
This is the best description I’ve ever read
Same. We should start a fan club
ficarra's a weird name icl
Like a phantom turd so smooth...lol
Right there with ya
I've been peer pressuring John for this video for like 2 years, I'm glad it finally happened 🤣
As soon as he said “union” I knew he’d be getting a social call from somebody… :D
9:37 - If you want to understand what he's talking about regarding "tipping someone", there is this wonderful scene in Back To School where Rodney Dangerfield's character is in the Econ class telling the professor what real life is like:
"First of all you're going to have to grease the local politicians for the sudden zoning problems that always come up. Then there's the kickbacks to the carpenters, and if you plan on using any cement in this building I'm sure the teamsters would like to have a little chat with ya, and that'll cost ya. Oh and don't forget a little something for the building inspectors. Then there's long term costs such as waste disposal. I don't know if you're familiar with who runs that business but I assure you it's not the boyscouts."
Extremely accurate. The building inspectors refer to it as, "special paperwork".
You sound like you’re proud of those bottom-feeders
@@pistonburner6448 You sound like you make a lot of baseless assumptions without the facts. I was merely showing a illustration of how things are in New York and a lot of the east coast. I am a fan of the movie, not the mob.
I heard Rodney Dangerfield’s voice in every word!!! Spot-on accurate!!! Love that film!!!
@@jackielinde7568 Fair enough. I guess I was mistakenly hearing all the countless other people in your words, the ones we know to admire these mafiosos. My apologies.
Reminds me of the one episode of the Soprano's where the new SL55 gets stolen and Tony tells them they better un-steal that car. They had their hands in everything.
Reminds me also of when AJ's science teacher's Saturn was stolen, and Carmela asks Tony to find it (because, of course). It had already been chopped, though, so the guys get another one repainted and leave it in the school parking lot. What could anyone say, but that was still nice of Tony to do...
Then there was the time Patsy and Burt, walking around a gentrified part of Newark (I think it was), try to shakedown a "Starbucks" by offering "protection", but the poor guy working there tells them they gotta go through corporate. As they're leaving with nothing, Patsy says, "It's over for the little guy."
This reminds me pleasantly of my favorite bits of _Kitchen Confidential,_ which involved Bourdain's descriptions of his interactions with various "Italian-American Fraternal Organizations" in the restaurant business in New York. Different industry, same theatrics.
I great uncle won a house from the teamsters lottery way back in the day. Mom said at one point he sold it and moved across the country because some people were looking for him.
Got chills..Always interesting story coming from John.
Even if he just reads news it would be instantly 100 times more interesting..
I can't in good conscience 'like' something promoting living by fear. It's not okay.
On this episode on vinwiki we find out that John is actually a wise guy
John's stories are always great. Thanks Ed!
I would love to see Finnegan, Freiburger and Tony Angelo That would be gold.
John never fails on his stories. He’s on. I never skip.
I'm a simple man, I see John's face and immediately click the Like button because it's a given that it's gonna be a great video.
Best story in a long time. My Grandpa had some dealings with a certain union in NYC as a trucking company owner operating out of the former garment district. I will leave it at that.
Living in Chicago I totally understand what happened. That world is apart of chicago city business. Goes back to 1900s. I don't think people realize ALL of those skyscrapers in NY and Chicago would not get built if the "Unions" didn't give the ok. Glad it worked out. Your to great of a guy to swim with the 🐟 fishes. 😎 Though even just dropping bikes of at a union gig, I would have called them first. 😯😁
When Comcast was building their headquarters in Philly, they planned to install waterless urinals. The plumbers' union threw a fit and shut down construction until Comcast agreed to pay them to run water pipes to the urinals "just in case they wanted to convert to flush urinals in the future". Unions are the legal arm of the mafias. If the boss doesn't get his kickback, he'll shut everything down or worse. Unions are outdated and corrupt.
John could tell a story about eating cereal and make it interesting... dude has a gift.
You can always count on John for a great story!!! Thanks John & Ed!!! 👍👍🙂
A little tip for you John. Next time, tell that guy to go home and get his shine box.
Oh dear lord.
One of John's best stories ever. And all of his stories for fantastic. But I am currently watching The Sopranos for the very first time and listening to this story was a lot of fun!
Always a good day when we get a John Ficarra story
Back in the 60's or early 70's my grandpa's brother bought a bar right outside New Orleans and he's getting ready to open and a guy comes in and offers him a deal on all his alcohol, so he signed a contract and put the order in for what he needed.................well a couple days later a couple guys come in and they say, "Hey, we're with such an such (competing alcohol distributor) and we're here to sell you your alcohol." Well my grandpa's brother says, "Look, such and such come in yesterday and I signed a contract with him and he's going to be supplying all my alcohol, but I appreciate you stopping by." And the guys were like, "No, you don't understand, you are going to be buying all your alcohol from such and such."
It was at this point my Grandpa's Brother realized what was what and he wanted no part of it, so he ended up selling the bar before he even opened.
I feel like John is the type of guy who'd comfort you in time of need. This guy rocks!
Try to do a trade show booth in Chicago or New York and you will quickly find out about the unions. Nothing gets done in your booth without union labor, not even screwing in a light bulb without an electrician.
Even today, it's difficult to do business in any of the five boroughs without organized crime interference, especially with union jobs.
Best stories on Winwiky mr. Jon Ficara 🎉
Do you have more storyes with track racing?
The one with the wood circuit was a blast of the past!
I enjoyed this stories! Keep it up, Good bless’ !
This is GREAT........I Grew Up In NYC Metro....and good to hear how the world goes around for the Newbee's
THE FICARRA.. has a nice ring to it! Someday, there will be a supercar named after John. We can make that happen for you.. or not. Here’s my card.
Next week on vinwiki..John Ficarra is missing 😆😆🤨🤨
I really hope not...
Sleepin’ with the fishes…
Great story ! My dad was a mechanic and I really enjoy All of the people on here….shout out to Wizard also
We don’t see enough of John. Great story teller 👍🏻 Thanks for the video!
I'm from Youngstown Ohio and yup, they will burn your shit down right now. LOL!
“It’s not terrible”
John Ficarra talking about the mob
If it's John, it's a good story.
As much as we laugh at this story , a lot of small business owners were harmed in many cities.
Not to mention regular dues-paying members of a union have to support these parasites. The mob is the worst thing that ever happened to unions. No employee or employer should have to operate in a climate of fear. A fair day's work for a fair day's pay.
That is just another reason to boycott New York.
Great story that reminded me when I worked at a large Grocery chain in a small town Alberta Canada. A notorious MC club that is still around these days just opened up a Chapter in the same town and well the new MC club members would come shopping once a week. I treated them with respect and they treated me just like a normal person, long story short one day i was chatting with the MC guys and they Manager of the store was looking for me and well once he saw who i was taking too his demeanor changed from that day on...
Mr Ficarra never misses the beat.
Another amazing story from him
He could be talking about the color of the sky and I would find it amusing
Keep doing the great job sir.
It could be red.
@@1203fild aaaahhhh,,, you beat me to it,,,, lol
@@1203fild lol “This.. can be ..red” is the line that goes right along side “Your honor, I have A LOT of evidence..” on the vinWiki wall of fame
@@tripprogers4814 Which video is that from? Nothing's popping up in my head yet.
@@1203fild Alex Roy! When he got out of a stack of tickets in court
same vibes as seth rogan saying that its normal to have your car broken into 11 times being in LA.
Not that is anything to do with this video but for those of you that know John Schneider 's wife just passed away and being the Dukes of Hazzard and the General Lee stories have been a part of this channels best stories though I would post about it.
“…and it helped a little bit that my last name ended in a vowel, I think.” - dying.
Love how Ficarra tells a story. This one had me about fall off the treadmill during my session....laughing. At the various watch how ya word it.....mob rep interactions.
LOVE John's stories, ALWAYS so well told. TY for sharing!
"...organized by color..."
So it CAN be red. 😆
same thing happen in my city,we call it retribution or secure money
Storytime with John Ficarra! 💯
I could have sworn this has all been covered by Mr Ficarra a good while back on this platform too. Could be mistaken and be remembering the motorcycle seat sniffer guy that was somehow connected to the salt bikes and the boys from brooklyn may have been mentioned in a way similar to this d
John and most of the Vinwiki guests are great. God or the Devil are in the details based on attributions & entomology, but car guys and especially wrenches are super-interesting examples of the capabilities of the human mind.
Ed cracks me up on CarTrek. Ed’s spontaneous mocking is loving based upon understanding. Ed should be a voice actor. 🥰🤦🏻♀️
Ed is TH-cams very own
James earl Jones
Or Barry White ....
@@stuartd9741 😁🤣Thankfully he never sold Crapto. 🤞but I know what you’re saying!
This is the most 2000s new york story to ever be told.
That was a genuinely cool story
Fugettahboutit
Love that saying. ✌️✌️
Coming and intimidating you in order to extort/steal from you, is not in any way shape or form 'respectful'.
It's the same thing as a thug pointing a gun in your face and if you don't give him your wallet you're disrespecting him. Respect goes both ways.
@@bwofficial1776 It's the same as me dispatching your family members one by one, for making a stupid comment like this one.
The story we've all been looking for
"This can be red"
“I have A LOT of evidence, your honor..”
Looks like John did the ambulance for Motley Crue back in the day!
Finally the John is back
Such a great story.
Wait a second, did Ficarra channel his inner Rabbit for this one!?
I swear I notice a slightly other demeanor when telling this story. 😅😄
Very interesting. You should say "purveyance", instead of "purvey".
Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏻
A wild John Ficarra appears!
Dude, I love it when you're on! Your tales are always so awesome! ✌️❤️🙂
This man is the GOAT story teller
Surely it’ll be doable to hire veterans to take care of these bozos.
Life lesson, kids: Just let them wet their beak
This guy doesn't mind getting extorted
Ed. We love these stories well, maybe keep in mind Jock Yablonski lives on. Not necessarily in body but nevertheless he lives on,and needs to be rembered. $$$ Clarksville
I had to Pause the video to laugh… YOU MADE THE CAR RED. hahahaha!!! 0:40
Interesting. Thank you.
Sounds like NY, needs another Valentine's day get together.
Doing a little kickback her a favor for somebody in the world of crime can have its benefits at times
For instance, let’s see your own or run a restaurant and there’s people out front to keep on hassling your customers that won’t leave them alone because they want to bomb from them they wanna rob them they want to do everything, but what they should be doing
How your customers feel afraid
But every time you call the police, they run away before the cops get there
Well, that’s when you pick the phone up and you call in a favor from that certain individual that you did a favor for the urge you something that has no problem taking care of these kinds of problems
Next thing you know those bombs and drug addicts won’t leave your customers alone for whatever reason they stop coming around. You don’t ask any questions you just know the problem is fixed that’s all you worry about.
John you might want to run your name into some lineage searches... I had a coworker who was Italian and he had a last name that was... in the "family" and he got letters and calls from Mob bosses/Goons all the time asking if they needed money... or protection... or if anyone was causing a hassle in his neighborhood. They keep track of that and follow up methodically.
Miami is like NY
Not in California? Sure? Try doing none Union work in San Francisco
Cough " bull shit " cough cough.
What a story!!
A great story with the great story teller!
John is one of if not the best storytellers ever on the channel.
Ficarra fan I am
As im in the middle of rewatching the sopranos, i see this😂
I would asked these unions that you do films for if they know these guys if if they are even part if these unions.. if they aren’t part of those unions I would been like gtfo of here
and your attitude keeps it going, they need a ice pick.
Glad u made it out
Wizeguys in da movie bizness.
If ur Italian or Italian descent they treat u in a different way then a "straniero" 😆
This can be red
So how much did he pay them?
No they don't!
Honestly I think John is my favorite.
Ficarras face looks like the vendetta mask 😂
Oh My Goodness you are so right
great story !
The Chicago way
NYC is much like Chicago mob town, eyy forgetaboutit
Hilarious aye goombagh
All you're doing is describing politicians or that guy called Joe Biden
That was an awesome story as always Ed! Super funny! Fiction is usually comical. That is absolutely not how unions do business yet ironically is how governments carry out their dealings. EPA?
Loved the upload as always! :)
They just want to wet their beak
Stay out of NY
Wow ...u think u know someone
"I would never recommend supporting this organization at all...but also, if they come around and want their taste, just give it to them and then everything is okay"...yeah, no.
