The Philly Prime Podcast meets MobTalk Sitdown.com this week. Mob expert George Anastasia joins the show to talk about Philly Mob Boss Joey Merlino's new podcast, website and Instagram page dubbed “The Skinny with Joey Merlino”. We'll break it all down on this gambling centric venture. Since Joey is stepping into the odds making spotlight again, we'll take a look at the Philly Mob. Who's in. Who's out. And who's running the show. Join us as we launch our 100th Philly Prime Podcast. Back where it all started with George Anastasia.

In the premiere episode, Oscar Goodman sets the stage for what has been described as the crime of the century. Oscar talks about how he landed in the middle of the Jimmy Chagra case in which Chagra allegedly paid Charles Harrelson $250K to murder Judge John Wood outside his home. This case put Oscar under the microscope and in turn, the spotlight on Las Vegas.   The feds indicted Jimmy Chagra, Charles Harrelson, Joe Chagra, Liz Chagra, and Jo Ann Harrelson in the judge's murder. In a plea agreement, Joe Chagra got a 10-year sentence. Charles and Jo Ann Harrelson and Liz Chagra were convicted at trial. Liz got a 30-year sentence. Jo Ann got a 25-year sentence. Charles got double life sentences but due to an error in the renderings of the murder scene, Oscar was able to render witness testimony as not credible. Chagra was the only one who received a not guilty verdict to the murder charge and walked on that case but received an additional 10 year sentence in a drug case - a much lesser crime. With audio from The Mob Museum's Courtroom Conversations: The Life and Crimes of Jimmy Chagra, we will help tell this story as the made-for-movie moment it was in the courtroom.   We will highlight the tie that actor Woody Harrelson has to the case through audio clips in the process of being cleared. We also hear from Jimmy Chagra's daughter, Catherine who reveals a never before heard excerpt from her mother's diary during the trial. Author, Jack Sheehan speaks on the prominence of the case and how Jimmy Chagra felt about Oscar Goodman and the time the two men reunited. We will explore how this case and the national attention primed Oscar to be known as the ultimate Mob lawyer and set up his successes in Las Vegas with another well-known name: Tony Spilotro.

In this episode of ConQuest, host Roberto Capodieci engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Trilogy Media's Ashton Bingham and Art Kulik about Scambait Networks. We get a glimpse of their inception as a duo, and discuss their fascinating work with institutions and the dynamics of their community in harnessing crowdfunding campaigns to support scam victims, showcasing the tremendous power of collective goodwill. However, beneath the surface, Scambait Networks have a darker side. Mob-like networks of scammers can exploit their employees, revealing complex power dynamics and ethical dilemmas. This discussion underscores the dual nature of these networks, where the pursuit of good in combating scams and helping victims coexists with the potential for exploitation and unethical behavior. ‌ Connect with our guests: Trilogy Media (Ashton Bingham & Art Kulik) Learn more: trilogymedia.com Watch them on YouTube:  Trilogy Media Art Kulik: linkedin.com/in/art-kulik-90928b30/ Ashton Bingham: .linkedin.com/in/ashton-bingham-259990139/

Négy évvel bukása után végre megkérezhettük Borkai Zsoltot a „győri polipról” és a korrupciógyanús bizniszekről.Életútinterjúnkban hosszan faggattuk az egykori fideszes polgármestert, akit mára teljesen ejtett egykori pártja, ezért jövőre függetlenként próbál visszatérni a hatalomba. Azt mondja, alapvetően semmin sem változtatna, és egyáltalán nem tartja problémásnak, hogy polgármesterként olyanokkal szextúrázott, akik részben önkormányzati pénzből gazdagodtak. Azt sem ígérte meg, hogy újraválasztása esetén rokonai nem fognak többé üzletelni velük.Borkai Zsolt nemcsak politikusként, hanem olimpiai bajnok tornászként is ismert. Az interjú elején felidéztük szöuli aranyérmét és az élsport korabeli viszonyait. Mennyire volt jelen az erőszak a tornateremben? Miért puccsolták meg a szövetségi kapitányt?

“Through suffering comes wisdom. Through surrender comes faith. Through resilience, comes hope. Keep going.”   – Rita Said I am so excited about this conversation as I am welcoming longtime fitness family to the T&T mic, Gabriel (Gabs) Sandoval! Gabriel entered into the CrossFit world about the same time as I did, so we have seen the entire sport and culture grown and evolve from the ground up. Much like CrossFit, Gabriel shares his story as a rebel with a cause and how he trusted the process as it ultimately led him to his purpose. There are few things in life that are true, but one is for sure- almost nothing is as it seems. Gabriel played sports and was athletic in his past, but he had many twists and turns far from the gym before he was leading people on their fitness, health, and wellness journey. His story is one of process, loss, resilience, and major pivots- knowing that he wouldn't be where he is now without each piece of the breakdown and breakthrough. If you are looking for an inspiring story wondering how it will all shake out for you, tune into this convo. It's reminder for everyone to keep the faith, keep showing up, and to lean back into what you initially loved. It will work out.   Highlights: Breakdowns and breakthroughs. Becoming a fitness pro after an anti-fitness life. Loss, faith, resilience, and the clarity that comes. Being the youngest. Be at the right place at the right time. Taking on challenges and leading by example. Not having it all figured out.   Related Articles: Business Q&A: CrossFit MOB, Thornton CrossFit community, information community: Needs … https://journal.crossfit.com/article/what-is-crossfit-2 CrossFit-related hip and groin injuries: a case series   Time Stamps: 1:55- Young Gabriel 5:58- Enter the party scene in high school 7:40- You are who you hang out with 10:31- Intellectual gifted, but don't love school 13:45- I want to become a pro snowboarder 14:55- Actually not, logic sets in 16:01- I want to go back to school 16:32- A deep story, where my life forked in the road 17:02- Dealing Drugs 17:52- We always want more 18:27- Cocaine air 19:18- Stepping on the local toes 20:21- Tragedy happens 22:15- Saved by prom, my girlfriend saved my life 22:30- Healing in nature 29:20- Bartending, make that cash 31:23- CrossFit over medical school 35:32- I started training again 36:16- Lean and semi mean 38:29- Intro to CrossFit 38:44- I'm a rebel 39:08- Semi wise words… 45:46- I wasn't as fit as I thought 50:12- CrossFit, I was in 54:01- I didn't plan to be a gym owner 58:16- Community is the success 1:00:00- What is CrossFit going to look like 10yrs for now 1:00:10- MOB, the facility 1:03:23- Authentically bleeding the cause 1:05:56- Don't be a boss, be a leader 1:09:50- Come in for a free workout Gabriel (Gabs) Sandoval Owner/Head Coach @ CrossFit MOB   From a young age I always enjoyed being active. I started wrestling when I was six years old and continue to do so for about 10 years. Once I got to middle school and high school I started to play football and basketball and I also got into skateboarding and snowboarding. After high school, I moved to the mountains so I could snowboard more. I did that for about a year and then decided I wanted to go back to college so I moved back to Denver. During my time in college is when I really got into physical exercise and around that same time as what I found CrossFit. That was about 13 years ago. I immediately fell in love with Crossfit and started coaching Crossfit as much as I could.  I graduated college in 2014 with my degrees in biology and chemistry. After that I worked in the medical field for a short period of time and then I got the opportunity to become a gym manager at a CrossFit gym so I did that. About a year and a half later I got an opportunity become a partial owner. In about five years ago, I got an opportunity to become the majority owner of Crossfit MOB, which I did. We now have one of the bigger CrossFit gyms in the state of Colorado and I can see I truly love what I do. Health and fitness are my passion and leading people in that direction is why I get up and do what I do every day. www.CrossFit-mob.com @crossfitmob  @mindoverbodyfit  Gabriel Serafin Sandoval: @thegabrielshow . . .

2023 has been a year of record-breaking heat waves, drought-related wild fires, and floods. And new hurricanes are on the way! We haven't had time to cover this year's climatic events directly but we thought it would be a  good idea to replay this episode from last summer about HURRICANE SANDY on her 10th Anniversary. The original description -- While pools, beaches, and outdoor BBQs are memorable elements of the warm solstice, nothing defines summer more than its ferocious, damaging, and deadly storms. We interview an old friend, Rob from the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a founding member of our frequent guests, the Met's Mob. Rob was witness to America's largest and most destructive hurricane on record, as it struck New York City. HURRICANE SANDY in 2012. He tells us his story, that of the larger city … and that of his Mother. This is a replay from September 2023.

So, in this episode, we go to New York in the 1930's where Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel took over the Mob in New York City, leading to the creation of a National Crime Syndicate, a Commission of Mob Bosses to settle disputes and for those times when disputes just will not settle, they created a group that came to be known as Murder, Incorporated to take care of those who broke the rules. This group committed hits (a term they created) all over the country and worked out of the back of a candy store in Brooklyn. We discuss this group, their rise and their fall, the indelible mark they made on popular culture. But before we discuss this, it is episode 160 so not only does Krysta have her corner, but we play catching up with Krysta in this special historical true crime episode of the Family Plot Podcast!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4670465/advertisement

Or will those who know the truth pull her into a life she never knew?

Hour 2 -  Local attorney Kristi Fulnecky joins Nick Reed this morning: Kristi was in Las Vegas recently. While she was there, she visited the Mob museum. Kristi talks about how long corruption has been around in this country. President Biden denies talking business with Hunter's partners and snaps at Fox News' Peter Doocy, saying 'I knew you'd ask a lousy question.' The liberal website PolitiFact offered a brutal fact-check of Vice President Kamala Harris' false claim she has "great approval ratings." VP Harris will hold a "grassroots reception" on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts on behalf of the Biden-Harris re-election campaign. Ticket prices for the "grassroots reception" range up  to $10,000. Police in Democrat-run Oakland, California, are urging residents to use airhorns as a way of sounding an alarm when criminals strike amid a surge in crime.

We kick off this episode of the Terribly Vexed Podcast by delving into the latest updates from the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) hearings, where government officials and experts discuss the intriguing world of unidentified flying objects. Moving on, we shift our focus to an equally intriguing topic: the ASCH Conformity Tests and the implications they hold for society. We analyze the psychology behind conformity and how it shapes human behavior, shedding light on the mechanisms that drive us to conform to social norms and expectations. Additionally, we discuss the concerning increase in incidents involving airline passengers, exploring the factors contributing to these unsettling events and their potential consequences for the travel industry and passenger safety. However, the heart of this episode lies in our comprehensive exploration of Operation Condor, a dark and secretive collaboration among several South American countries during the 1970s and 1980s. Join us as we unravel the intricate web of political intrigue, espionage, and human rights abuses that characterized this covert operation. We delve into the countries involved, including Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia, and examine the key figures who orchestrated this operation, such as Augusto Pinochet, Jorge Rafael Videla, and Alfredo Stroessner. Through a careful examination of historical events and dates, we shed light on the ruthless tactics employed to suppress political dissidents and maintain control, leaving a lasting impact on the region's history. As we wrap up, we tease an unexpected perspective that ties the Operation Condor narrative to the world of UFOs and the unexplored mysteries of the cosmos. Join us for an eye-opening journey that will leave you questioning the boundaries of history, politics, and the unknown.

We seem to have a generation of people who are looking for the white van, not to avoid it, but to demand free candy. Common people are so eager to take their unfair share of anything labeled ‘free', going so far as to attack others and do things that lack basic human decency. They want free money, phones, schooling, debt relief, electronics, clothing, etc., and will fight for the last gaming console, but say nothing about FREE-dom. When a mob gathered in New York Union Square Friday afternoon some excepted to walk away with a free Playstation from the Twitch streamer Kai Cenat. Shorty into the gathering, however, people began rioting, even jumping onto a moving vehicle they thought Kai was in. Thirty of the sixty five arrested were minors and one person was rushed to the hospital having been shot with a firework. This sounds similar to the work of political activist groups that gather and resort to violence within a short period of time. Ironically, when the issue was not made racial; the media made no comment on laregly white police arresting a largely black crowd. Seems there is a weird double standard here. Nevertheless, what we witnessed was how the barely literate, and very entitled, can be so easily influenced into doing anything their phones and apps tell them. Influencers can easily become government or corporate plants paid to sell or influence public opinion. Heroes are being replaced by corporate-sponsored influencers and smooth-talking politicians by the mentally damaged.

The Summer of 1988 was filled with BIG, seminal comedies (actually including the movie Big) which were sizeable hits and had long-lasting legacies including Bull Durham, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and previous episodes Midnight Run and A Fish Called Wanda.  Kind of lost in the shuffle was this small, quirky mob comedy directed by Jonathan Demme though it did feature a very promising cast including Dean Stockwell, Mercedes Ruehl, Oliver Platt, Alec Baldwin, and Matthew Modine.  Leading this cast was the illustrious Michelle Pfeiffer kind of playing against type with BIG hair, a big attitude and a prominent New Yawk accent - she plays Angela, a Long Island housewife who is....you guessed it....married to a mobster played by Baldwin.  Things don't end well for her husband so Angela decides to try to start a fresh new life with her son AWAY from the Mob....but not every one is onboard with that including the FBI and local mob boss Tony played by Stockwell in a performance which earned him an Oscar nomination.  And hilarity ensues..... Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

What is the Sabenadica Club? How old were the guys that were labeled as the Young Italians and how bad did the FBI want to get them? Who was Ferrell Travis Riley and how much did Cheryl (Coon) Riley benefit him? They ran scams all over the globe that estimated gross receipts of $28 million! Hear about how two guys tried to swindle Travis into a double deal in which they end up getting charged with 19 counts of wire fraud and one becoming an informant. How big a player was Travis's son, Joe Riley? Were the FBI after him because of his actions, his father, or both? Michael Albanese was part of the Young Italians, but how did he and Joe work together. The Young Italians were part of a drug ring that was linked to the KC Mob and the Cali Cartel in Columbia and Frank explains how big this was. Joe Bartels, the next-door neighbor to Joe Riley, was a paid informant. Learn about Bartels involvement and if he was placed by the FBI. The people Joe Riley hung around including an old time KC mobster at the Italian Gardens. A reverse sting set up the FBI at a Motel 6 to sell cocaine that ends up with FBI shooting and killing someone who shot another guy who survived and the guy sitting outside in the car being charged with felony murder! This leads us to Oscar Goodman and his involvement in this case and how he possibly saved Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal's life.  Frank Hayde Links:Buy “Mafia Dreams”: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/mafia-dreamsBooks by Frank: https://www.isbns.net/author/Frank_R_Hayde Dan Moldea Before the Lights Show on Jimmy Hoffa: https://www.beforethelightspod.com/beforethelights-episodes/jzer6jc19xr3xx0evujucydc2g4vtg Before the Lights Links:Extra 5 Bundles: https://www.beforethelightspod.com/shopBecome a BTL Member: https://www.beforethelightspod.com/supportBefore the Lights Website: https://www.beforethelightspod.com/Get Tommy a Glass of Vino: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/beforethelightsPlease Rate & Review the show!Support the showFollow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beforethelightspodcast/Follow the show on Face Book: https://www.facebook.com/beforethelightspodcast/Follow the show on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beforethelightspodcast?lang=enFollow Tommy on Face Book: https://www.facebook.com/tcanale3Rate & Review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/before-the-lights/id1501245041Email the host: beforethelightspod@gmail.com

The best-selling author Russell Shorto, praised for his incisive works of narrative history, never thought to write about his own past. He grew up knowing his grandfather and namesake was a small-town mob boss but maintained an unspoken family vow of silence. Then an elderly relative prodded: You're a writer―what are you gonna do about the story? Smalltime is a mob story straight out of central casting―but with a difference, for the small-town mob, which stretched from Schenectady to Fresno, is a mostly unknown world. The location is the brawny postwar factory town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The setting is City Cigar, a storefront next to City Hall, behind which Russ and his brother-in-law, “Little Joe,” operate a gambling empire and effectively run the town. Smalltime is a riveting American immigrant story that travels back to Risorgimento Sicily, to the ancient, dusty, hill-town home of Antonino Sciotto, the author's great-grandfather, who leaves his wife and children in grinding poverty for a new life―and wife―in a Pennsylvania mining town. It's a tale of Italian Americans living in squalor and prejudice, and of the rise of Russ, who, like thousands of other young men, created a copy of the American establishment that excluded him. Smalltimedraws an intimate portrait of a mobster and his wife, sudden riches, and the toll a lawless life takes on one family.

Today we take a fascinating look into how Whitey Bulger rose to power in Boston's underworld in the 70's and 80's, with not only the FBI's protection, but also their direct help. No one (that we're aware of publicly, at least) benefitted more from the FBI's Top Echelon Informant Program than Irish-American gangster, Whitey Bulger.  Whitey rose through the ranks of Boston's organized crime scene thanks to a combination of cunning, ruthlessness, a little help from his politically connected brother, Billy, and a LOT of help from the FBI. Whitey's top informant status, and the degree to which he corrupted his handler, Special Agent John Connolly, allowed him to get away with murder after murder, and run one criminal racket after another with impunity. For nearly two decades the FBI protected the most dangerous man in Boston in order to take down other people who were far less threatening to the general public. Why? And how did this happen? Bad Magic Charity of the Month: Donating a TBD amount to the Hill Country Humane Society this month.
