He’s great at telling his story. I’ve been listening non-stop for the last couple hours, while cleaning and getting stuff done around my house. My jaw dropped a few times and my son was looking at me confused, wondering what I’m listening to.
Jesus Christ Mark where do you find these interesting interviews?! Interesting is an understatement! Your the best thing on TH-cam! I’ve watched multiple mobster interviews and most suck. But you cover all kinds of folks. Very nice work yet again….thank you. And your photography is just as amazing. God has blessed us all by creating you and the work you do🙏👍🙂
LISA !!!!! i cant believew i found you in the u tube comment section ???? its spenser!!!! im now a woman i finished my transition last year !!!!!please give me a call
The Underworld disgusts me. As an Italian American, l constantly have to remind others that our people excel in all aspects of life and very few are mixed up in the nefarious mob life.
Yeah how about the Mumbai mafia … how about poor workers in Qatar sold as slaves to work in construction in 120 degree heat all carried out by Indian agents
Italian boys are constantly told “ bravo” ( well done , or something) and they can never do wrong and never punished. When they grow up , they have never experienced pain for wrong doing. Coming to the USA , where people are brought up differently, they can and do take advantage of the population through intimidation and violence. I am not saying all Italian men are that way , but their upbringing promotes criminality.
He is a very intelligent man ,with a lot of common sense. Like he said, he grew up in that life,and that's all he knew, but he has gained a lot of wisdom in his later years.
Except for the fact is all lies! I cant believe people believe this stuff. He was in the room while guys like Angelo and joe are killing someone. Its such bullshit. The guy is conman that was a jailhouse snitch against a corrupt cop. The guy is known throughout law enforcement as a complete liar and conman. He reads a lot of stuff in books and online then places himself there
@@Vampiracho Seriously. If he's gained so much wisdom how come he still says he doesn't regret the life he chose? Wisdom means learning from your mistakes
I went to high school in early 80s with a girl who's uncle was in the mob, shot dead in the street. High profile mobster. I never saw her again im sure her family yanked her and moved but i never believed too much of mob stories until that happened. Wild
Mark- I will not lie to you, the majority of your videos interest me at first glance. Beyond that, I can never manage to remain enthralled and present for anything beyond a few minutes of each video. I’m no one important- just a woman that believes it fair to have a compliment or praise to follow any criticism or bias opinion. This one has me locked in. Parts one and two. I am familiar with the life- my step father was a Sicilian Dallas transplant from New England and the nature of these events resonates with me. I would really love the opportunity to talk with this guy and write an untapped perspective of this story. “Tommy”- your words have moved me. Our values are aligned. I’ve never met anyone explain as well as you. I would love nothing more than to chat. Astounded, C
My grandmother Savino grew up during prohibition in the Bronx. She never spoke to anyone about things she had witnessed in her neighborhood growing up except to her immediate family in her household. One day in 1931 she was shoved down by a tall gentleman that she never seen before in the neighborhood and as the man pushed her he said something along the lines of get back little girl or look out little girl. At this this time she witnessed Joe the Baker Catania got blasted across his forehead and upper torso. Then he was thrown into a cab and the cab took off with the Baker to Fordham hospital. Google wasn't out when she would tell the story to all us grandkids . I think she told us her stories when I was like 4 or 5 and every time it was exactly the same as before. The tall man she thinks was a lookout for the shooter which ultimately saved her life as she was headed back to school. Well that tall man was never seen by her in the neighborhood ever again. She also saw who shot the Baker and where the shooting came from. He passed away the following day on February 4th 1931.
I watched both part 1 and 2 of this man's life story. Wow. The stuff you have gone through in your life, and to come out on the other end of it, still being able to smile. I hope that life turns out for the better on this end of it. The way you tell your story very well spoken, no pausing and having to think, no back tracking or talking in circles. You are as Mark stated a good story teller. A handsome older gentleman. We all have that one thing that we dont like about ourselves. I'm guessing it's your receding hair line, that only makes you look more distinguished. I'd love to hear more about you and the life (if possible). Very intriguing.
I thought the same thing, some people just have that voice that makes you want to listen to them. Could make a movie about his life, it would be unreal.
The mob is a rotten thing. I’m barely into this and I never saw part 1 but I’m already disgusted with this guy when he says that he was a collector of street tax. 25% he says! gov takes 35 and they take 25 who the f do they think they are. They’re just thieves.
It's when he said that, I stopped the video. DISGUSTING, it's like he's bragging also , and he's a snitch !! He talks about all the girls, then his special girl and then.....his Wife and kids. He's either a liar or a cont ...
The interaction they had at the end actually made me melt. When Mark said "You're a good looking dude" you can see in this mans face he is not used to hearing such a thing let alone accepting it. "Im just a guy" has been his whole life but we dont see what he sees
Just amazing true crime hometown stories - Chicago resident, we knew Taylor St. mobbed up- What happened to Joe Perrillo (Those obnoxious commercials), Rosebud Cafe, tales among the squares...memories of Maxwell Street w/ my grandfather-Yeah, that's been gone for a .ong time. What about the Como Inn? Come back.
It's back up. I have a theory. The violence is probably causing the video to get demonetized, so he is splitting it up into two parts and trying to keep part one monetized.
The ending was great, he sort of lightened up and showed us a bit of the other side of his personality. Been subbed to this channel for many many years and hope to continue checking your vids out. Thanks Mark and Tommy!
Knew some of those connected when young. Two types: quiet, organized and brilliant, now they are either bosses or straight. Others loud and crazy. Both types can be great as friends and neighbors… but never do business or borrow from them…. They are terrifying
Is this one going to make me cry like his last one? Thats ok, it was tears of joy when he was released from prison. Thank you for all the great content Mark.
The mob stories are always so interesting. I could listen to "Tommy" all day. He looks like such a sweet guy who couldn't hurt anyone... I guess looks really are very deceiving
Mark of all the guests you’ve had on, this guy is probably my favorite! I’m a Chicago guy as well and let me tell you, this guy is about as Chicago as Chicago could be! His manner of speaking, very eloquent yet unrefined. That’s what we are in Chicago! We are smart, but rough.
My Grandparents were both born and raised in Chicago. My Grandpa was raised on Taylor and Wabash from what i remember him telling me. His parents (my great grandparents) were both from a mountainous area in Abruzzi Italy as well. This is absolutely fascinating.
Was hoping for another hour-plus interview with Mr. Dye. Next time, perhaps. Trivia: Taylor and Racine was where Sean Connery’s character lived in “The Untouchables.” Maybe not-so realistic for an Irishman, of that era to live there? And Andy Garcia’s character, who is supposedly-Italian, mispronounces “Racine” as “Ra-cine,” (instead of “ray-cine” when he calls-in Connery’s murd3r.
Totally shocking! I cannot believe that this man, if the story he tells is true, thinks nobody will recognize him!! Unbelievable because I have seen people that I knew from when I was in my late adolescence, early teens, and recognize them in their 60s, I think I mostly feel sorry for him because he says he does not regret the life he lived , scary 😢
He wondered if he’s a psychopath right before he tells the golf club story. That’s your answer. Yes, you are a psychopath. Interesting but yes, a psychopath.
Nooooooo only 28 minutes! Man, I could listen for hours. Thank you for part 2!
Same thought!
Please Tell us more
@@jmasscott173 you can read more in the Chicago Tribune.
I hope they do part 3 & 4 lol
He needs at least a part 3 and 4
I agree!
Tommy looks like a high school music teacher. It’s a trip to think he did dirt.
Yea but his raspy voice.. idk there's something very telling about it
I was thinking PRIEST from the video cover lol
Please bring him back!!!! We want more stories!!!!
And whatnot
He’s great at telling his story. I’ve been listening non-stop for the last couple hours, while cleaning and getting stuff done around my house. My jaw dropped a few times and my son was looking at me confused, wondering what I’m listening to.

he doesnt care about you

'Literally"? Wow.
Thank you for part 2 haha

I always wanted to be a tough guy like this but i don't like prison, I value human life and i didn't have a gang to back me up.
Please bring this guy back, great stories!
Need a part 3 and 4!!! I love hearing the “unheard/untold” stories
TRUST NO ONE.... THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO YOU.... WILL HURT YOU THE MOST.... 💯🙋 ....
Best interview of the series has been this guy pt 1 & 2
I could listen to him tell stories all day!
MOUTH DROPPED.... JUST SPEECHLESS
Chipping wedge? Just gnarly
Would kill to spend just 24 hrs with this man. So much wisdom and just and over all great guy! Hope all is well in your ventures.. Stay blessed ✊
Great interview! Thanks
This guy's bragging about hurting people, I don't understand what's so cool about him.
He’s not bragging he’s just telling his life story like the rest of the people on this channel
Oh The Unbelievable power of the government
This was one of your great ones!
I'm guessing he's done with witness protection 😂
He did his time you should watch the whole interview.Very interesting repaired by twenty five thirty years
Sorry voice text He did his time 25 to 30 years ,
@sandradubson Nope he’s said he’s still in it but he don’t count on them, if you haven’t watched part 1 go watch it! He tells you everything
Not if is counting on that paycheck
I love the mob stories!!! Tommy’s and Sammy the Bull’s stories are some of my favorites.

Mark please bring Tommy back for more life stories! Really looking forward to part 3, 4, 5 etc
This was truly amazing to listen to and learn about.. would love to hear more from him ❣️ Mark,Thanks
I thought the same thing, some people just have that voice that makes you want to listen to them. Could make a movie about his life, it would be unreal.
BEST Channel on TH-cam. Very interesting story.
I agree! I just found this channel, too. Love the content.
I love all the mob and Chicago/New York interviews. They’re so interesting.
This man needs his own channel. You could make a movie based on his life . Very interesting 👌
That was one of the best stories I’ve ever heard on soft underbelly. That guy is a real deal. I love you, Mark.

I gotta say as a Sicilian myself…. This man’s stories make me ravenous for a finely torched crème brûlée and spaghetti and meatballs🏆🤗🇮🇹
This guy should right a book. He's a good story teller
From Chicago north side… it’s great to hear these stories… it’s not like this anymore… there is no mob like this anymore..
“You should fear the cops” ….
Noooo!! Was in middle of part 1 & had to pause it. Just got back to it & it says video removed….what?!! Please put it back on 🙈🙏
It's back up. I have a theory. The violence is probably causing the video to get demonetized, so he is splitting it up into two parts and trying to keep part one monetized.

One of the best stories I’ve seen on here. Bring him back!
Is this one going to make me cry like his last one? Thats ok, it was tears of joy when he was released from prison. Thank you for all the great content Mark.
More! More! This guy gotta write a book
This should be an eight hour interview or longer.

Love this video, someone could make a fantastic movie out of this.
Top 5 interview hands down
It's all fiction

amazing story
Unbelievable interview… loved it
IN..CRED..I..BLE storyteller!!!!!!! thanks to both of you!
He's like a crossing between David Chase and Uncle Junior... The courtroom sketch 😂

What kind of a likeness is that?!
Så...
Inte så glamoröst som film.
Verklighet!!!
GREAT part 2!!
Great interview
Damn I had to stop and go back because I can’t listen I’m hearing but not comprehending! That m. Urder was so incredibly brutal!
$150 for a book!! $25 dollars for Marks signature. Lol who does he think he is a movie star?
I love it he just put joe perillo out there
lol right interesting to hear though great story teller.
Mark's "good looking dude" line 😂
loveeeeeeee these stories.. im from chicago as well. so crazy great work!
“Cottage cheese coming out his head”… No, it was his BRAINS --admit it!!!!

I believe this guy and not the younger guy who is glorifying mobs. This is an “OG” right here!
Straight up, not a self promoter.
Answers a lot of questions.
Yes maybe just a touch of psychopathic stuff
MY FAVORITE SO FAR!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This guy stretches the truth just a little.
everyone lies. especially these guys
Absolutely. He's literally memorized movie scripts in order to be perceived as the slick mobster.
Yeah, but im watching this for interest not facts
He wondered if he’s a psychopath right before he tells the golf club story. That’s your answer. Yes, you are a psychopath. Interesting but yes, a psychopath.
