Cuesta abordar "Los Soprano" desde una perspectiva que no sea la de la posmodernidad de los noventa y la crisis de la masculinidad que se vivía en esa época. Así que esos son los puntos de partida para el análisis de este episodio dedicado a la primera temporada de esta serie. El tema que cierra el episodio es "It's Bad You Know", de R.L. Burnside, incluida en la tracklist de esta temporada de la serie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ-6fpuVeFA&list=RDMQ-6fpuVeFA&start_radio=1

"You already know how it's going to turn out. You're going to wish you had spent more time with your kids, so do it now." Episode Highlights [00:00:17] How knowing the ending of something changes perspective [00:02:59] What Lee Cockerell would have done differently as a father [00:05:14] James Dobson's reflection on time with his children [00:06:48] Why now is the best time to start [00:07:39] How to change the script before it becomes a regret Knowing the final chapter of a story completely changes how you experience the journey. Jody was reminded of this after a hilarious blunder accidentally watching the season six premiere of The Sopranos first, spoiling the entire series. He shares a powerful lesson about human timelines and the standard script of regret. In this episode, Jody gets personal with reflections from his grandfather, retired Disney Executive Lee Cockrell, and Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. These highly successful men all looked back with the exact same wish: they wanted more time with family and less time letting careers separate them from loved ones. Whether it is family, fitness, writing a book, or leaving a bad job, you already know how the unedited script ends. When you get older you'll wish you had done it. Take a listen to hear Jody share ways to break the cycle and change your script today.

Seamus McElearney spent years as an FBI agent doing what nobody had done in over a hundred years — he flipped a made man inside the DeCavalcante crime family. The same family the world knows as the real life inspiration behind The Sopranos. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Seamus breaks down exactly how he did it and what happened next. What followed was one of the most remarkable chain reactions in FBI history — flipping one mobster led to three more cooperating witnesses, then a captain, then an acting boss. By the end Seamus and his team had solved eleven murders, convicted seventy one defendants and completely dismantled the DeCavalcante crime family. He also led the takedown of the Colombo and Bonanno families — arresting 120 members and associates including the top leadership of both organizations. _____________________________________________ #TheSopranos #FBI #organizedcrime _____________________________________________ Connect with Seamus McElearney: Buy His Book: https://www.amazon.com/Flipping-Capo-Dismantled-Real-Sopranos/dp/B0DWHS2YVS LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seamus-mcelearney _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 The FBI Agent Who Took Down the Real Sopranos — Seamus's Story 00:20 Growing Up in the Bronx — How It Shaped the Agent He Became 02:56 The Education and Early Career That Led Him to the FBI 04:34 What FBI Selection and Training Actually Look Like From the Inside 07:58 Back to New York — Learning the City and His First Real Cases 09:21 His First Organized Crime Assignment and What It Really Looked Like 10:58 How It All Started — The Robbery and Murder That Opened the Case 13:03 The Witnesses Who Came Forward and How He Built the Investigation 15:39 Wiretaps Decoding Mob Communication and Recording the Evidence That Changed Everything 20:24 When the Arrests Began — Taking Down an Entire Crime Family 21:26 How He Built Enough Trust to Flip an Actual Made Man 25:36 The Domino Effect — How One Cooperator Brought Down an Entire Organization 30:33 Surveillance Searches and the Murders They Uncovered Along the Way 36:51 Preparing for Trial — The Challenge of Actually Convicting Mob Members 45:01 Inside the Courtroom — What It's Really Like Prosecuting Organized Crime 53:49 How Mob Investigation Tactics Have Evolved and Why It Matters 01:03:38 The Major Busts and How Technology Changed Organized Crime Forever 01:10:11 Why the Mob Never Dies and How Modern Gambling Keeps Them Alive 01:13:41 The Real Mob vs The Sopranos — What the Show Got Right and Wrong 01:20:14 Life After the Mob — Gangs Fraud and What Came Next 01:24:09 Retirement and the Private Sector — What Life Looks Like After the FBI 01:26:47 The Lessons From a Career Spent Taking Down America's Most Dangerous Criminals 01:32:17 The Ethics of Using Cooperators — Where the Line Really Is 01:33:02 Why Mob Cooperators Are Going Public and What It Means 01:33:37 Final Thoughts and His Book — What He Wants You to Know _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Big Tech censorship never really stopped. Emmy-winning “The Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo and investigative journalist Sarah Westall are fighting back. Westall has filed a landmark federal lawsuit against Google, YouTube, and the U.S. government, alleging a coordinated government-tech campaign to suppress her speech – the first in American legal history to preemptively challenge the structural bias of the 9th Circuit in Big Tech cases. Westall breaks down how Google allegedly monetized fake, defamatory impersonator channels designed to destroy her professional reputation. Drea de Matteo discusses her UltraFree podcast and clothing line dedicated to free speech, speaks about her personal Hamptons meeting with John F. Kennedy Jr., and asks why the FBI can tally exactly how many cars are stolen every year… but not how many children were trafficked – something that “should bother everyone.” Drea de Matteo is an Emmy Award-winning actress known for her role on The Sopranos. She hosts the ULTRAFREE Podcast and launched ULTRAFREE, a clothing line dedicated to free speech and free thinking.

¡Hablemos de Los Soprano! Repasemos una de las mejores series del pasado y comparémosla con la televisión actual. ¿Qué la hizo tan buena en su momento? ¿Podría sobrevivir en el panorama televisivo actual? ¡Que la disfruten!

Some seasons change you. This one did.Season 4 of The Pain Game Podcast — The Aftermath — was built around a question Lyndsay has been living with for a decade: what happens to the people left standing after the unimaginable? Not the headlines. The human beings behind them. The survivors, the families, the professionals who carry these stories inside their bodies long after the cameras are gone.In this season finale, Lyndsay closes out The Aftermath with a reflection on everything this limited series uncovered — and everything it confirmed. That behind every crime, every loss, every headline is a pain that deserves purpose. That healing is not linear. And that the only way out is through.This episode is also home to some big news. After four seasons, The Pain Game Podcast is becoming The Giving Pain Purpose Podcast — because that's exactly what this show has always been. The mission hasn't changed.

Retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins examines the rise and influence of Louis “Streaky” Gatto and the Genovese crime family's powerful New Jersey faction. Drawing from a 2004 New Jersey Crime Commission report, this episode explores how Genovese crews operated across multiple counties while controlling illegal gambling, loan sharking, and waterfront rackets through intimidation and organized violence. Gary breaks down the structure of Gatto's Bergen County crew, including the involvement of his son Joseph Gatto and son-in-law Alan “Little Al” Greco. The discussion details how the crew maintained control over bookmaking and gambling operations and how prosecutors later tied key members to murders connected to their criminal enterprises. The episode also dives into the federal RICO prosecution and the dramatic courtroom testimony of witness Robert Belli. Gary explains allegations that associates of the Gatto crew attempted to pressure and intimidate witnesses before testimony, including claims involving the infamous “evil eye” or malocchio. Prosecutors argued that subtle intimidation tactics, courtroom stares, and indirect threats were all part of an effort to influence testimony. Another major focus is Moe Brown, a reputed associate connected to the Gatto organization. The episode explores how prosecutors used recordings and testimony to connect Brown to the defendants and how his conduct in court became part of the government's intimidation narrative. Finally, Gary examines the later criminal cases involving Joseph Gatto, including offshore sports betting operations, convictions, prison sentences, and the eventual decline of the family's gambling empire. The episode concludes with the deaths of both Joseph Gatto and Louis “Streaky” Gatto, marking the end of an era for one of New Jersey's most feared Genovese crews.

Transcript [0:00] Hey, all you wiretappers, good to be back here in the studio of Gangland Wires. A little extra I’m going to throw in here. I did this interview with Scott Deitch about Jerry Katina, and I got a lot of. [0:12] Comments, a lot of reactions to that show, a lot of New Jersey mob fans, Genovese mob fans out there. A guy named Carmine, Carmine something, he had some other numbers after his name. Carmine commented that I should do a show on Louis Streaky Gatto. That was a New Jersey capo who was one of the Chin’s best earners in the Genovese family. He had a crew down in New Jersey. And if you notice, one more thing, I was going to mention this before. I got a new hat. Now, check this out. [0:46] Hope you can see that. Got the gangland wire insignia on it. Now, this is my official gangland wire hat. [0:56] Louis Streaky Gatto, the New Jersey Crime Commission report in May 2004, reported that the Genovese family maintained five crews headquartered in New Jersey. Each was overseen by a capo, of course, and each of the four New York-based crews, this is right out of The Sopranos, about 40 soldiers and more than 400 criminal associates who were active in New Jersey. [1:21] They reported that the family operated in the northern New Jersey counties of Hudson, Essex, Union, Bergen, and Passaic County. They also had gained strength in Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean counties. Ocean, is that down in Atlantic City? I don’t have a map in front of me, so I’m not sure. The crime report stated that the Genovese family controlled the largest bookmaking and loan sharking rings in the New York, New Jersey metropolitan area. And the family maintained a strong influence on the Port Newark, Elizabeth, and Hudson County waterfronts. This report also identified the family consigliere Lawrence Little Larry Dentico as a person with the most extensive familiarity of the family’s New Jersey operations because he had been the top aide to the former consigliere and New York, New Jersey operations chief, Louis A. Bobby Mann. I did a show on Bobby Mann and Irwin Schiff and some of those plots, I don’t know, sometime in the last year, I believe. This 2004 report identified the five capos at that time in New Jersey, and they were Tino Fouimara, who died in 2010, Angelo Prisco, who died in 2017, Joseph Gatto died in 2010, Silvio DeVita, and Ludwig Bruchy, who died in 2020. [2:44] Now, Streaky Gatto, Louis Streaky Gatto, he was always the favorite money earner of Vincent de Chin Gigante. Before he was promoted to captain, his New Jersey crew was led by a capo named Peter LaPlaca until the mid-1970s, and that’s when Streaky Gatto took over the crew. Gatto was the boss of Bergen County with the help of his son, Joseph the Eagle Gatto. And his son-in-law, and a guy who keeps coming back in this thing, and who was his top enforcer, Alan Little Al Greco. I noticed a comment. Somebody said that he was really half Polish. I think his mother was Polish and his father was Italian. Somebody correct me on that in the comments, if you will. Controlled large illegal gambling, loan sharking, bookmaking operations in Bergen and Passaic counties. [3:33] These three guys used murder, violence, and fear to click on these rackets and control everybody who was a bookmaker. You couldn’t be, like Chicago, you couldn’t be a lone wolf bookmaker making money without these guys getting a piece of your action and working with you on it. They made sure that other rivals didn’t take advantage of somebody that was [3:55] under their protection. Gatto and Alan Greco, Little Al, were indicted on two counts of murder for the murders of Arthur Belli and Vincent Mastretti. They also were alleged to be behind the murders of a guy named Jack Handsome Jack, Ciaranella, Johnny Lombardi, and Peter Adamo. 1991-1990. [4:20] Streaky Gatto and Alan Greco were sentenced to 65 years. Streaky Gatto’s son, Joseph Gatto, was indicted on racketeering charges in the same RICO prosecution, but he only received 30 months. There was an appeal to that trial, and we learned a little bit about their brazen intimidation tactics, how it works. There’s a guy named Robert Belli, whose brother had had a gambling operation. His brother, Arthur Belli, was one of the persons in that RICO case that was murdered by Streaky Gatto. They called on Robert Belli to testify about the extortionate takeover of their gambling business. And he said that little Al Greco once told him, he said, things are going to be different now. And then shortly after that, Robert Belli’s hot dog truck was blown up and he was beaten by two men with baseball bats, typical mob extortionist takeovers of a small-time gambler, a bookie, a guy that had his own book of business, his own customers. As a result, he just gave it up. But he also testified that Belli disappeared and now we’re in trial for Belli being murdered by Streaky Gatto and planned on returning to the business just before he disappeared. [5:37] Now, in cross-examination, it turns out that he had been spoken to by somebody in the Gatto families because he all of a sudden starts agreeing with all the defense counsel’s suggestions, first of all, that the prosecutor paid him and pressured him, and all the local police and prosecutors involved in the case were corrupt. I’ll redirect. The prosecutor tries to show that Belli had become hostile to government and accommodating to the defense because he’d been intimidated. They asked Belli about a guy named Frank Sesta, who was known as Mo Brown. We’ll refer to him as Mo Brown. He was always known as Mo Brown. Belli stated that after defense investigators, Gatto’s lawyers and their investigators handed him into a meeting with the defense counsel, Mo Brown showed up and wanted to take him to the meeting. And then when he wouldn’t go with Mo Brown, Brown tried to pressure him into letting one of his associates drive him to this meeting and again to a pretrial hearing. He wouldn’t do it. He knew better than that. He took a ride with a government investigator. He did have to go meet with the defense counsel, of course. Anybody that’s going to be a witness against you, they have to make them available to the defense investigators and counsels, defense counsel, in order to do a deposition or just listen to what, see what they got to say. [6:59] He said Brown approached him and told him about a job interview. He said he’d take him to his job interview just before he testified at trial. He said Brown had discussed the case with him more than once and once said, isn’t it a shame that Little Al got 60 years in this case and he did get 65 years? And this all was coming out after they got their 65-year sentences, Little Al and Streaky Gatto. They just kept coming back. And then during the trial, the prosecutors got testimony from Belli that Moe Brown had been in the courtroom and standing directly in front of him several times and that he looked at him with an unhappy look. [7:36] Of course, they objected, the defense counsel objected to all that. They also introduced evidence that this Moe Brown was really closely connected to Streaky Gatto and Little Al Greco. They’d sent him into surveillance during the social club, the Lodi Social Club, and sent him with other people in the defendant’s gambling business. They also had a tape of a conversation between Louis Gatto Jr., Stryker Gatto’s son, and little Al Greco, talking about Mo Brown, that they were real familiar with him. So they connected Mo Brown to the Gattos and to Little Al Greco and then showed how he was then in court and was given the witness, the evil eye, the malokia, I think they call it, something like that was in The Godfather. And that he had tried to befriend the guy before he testified and told him about a job and tried to give him rides different places. They even mentioned that how… [8:39] They asked the witness Belli about three occasions during the trial when Al Greco had given him a look. One was before he testified, and Greco passed by him in the hallway, and he gave him a look. Defense has strenuously objected to this. It’s irrelevant, and you can’t really say that look was a bad look. The defense counsel strenuously objected to these points, but it was overruled. The second look came when Belli was in the back of the courtroom him waiting to testify, and Greco, Little Al Greco, just turned his chair around just to give him a look, and the third time was when Greco stood up and then turned over around and looked at Belli during the sidebar while Belli was on the stand. Prosecutor then asked Belli if Greco had ever looked at him that way before, and Belli said, well, he had. He said when he told him, Little Al Greco told him things are going to be different just before he beat him up, or had he beaten, And, of course, they strenuously object to all this. In the end, it did not do any good. In the end, little Al Greco still got his 65 years, and he didn’t get a new trial or anything. [9:45] A little story in regards to little Al Greco, the guy that was son-in-law to Strique Gatto and was right under him. It seemed like he was his main kind of enforcement guy, guy out dealing, maybe underboss, under people trying to, guy that deals with people on the street. He made a connection with a notorious New Jersey con artist and mob associates, Tom Giacomaro. They wanted him to come in and be a made man, supposedly, in the 80s. And, you know, he didn’t want it. He was independent. He knew better because once you come in, you know, they’re going to take everything from you. And he was quoted as saying, you know, I don’t want to kiss the ring. Everybody’s kissing Streaky Gatto’s ring, he said, except me. Jack Amaro was in the trucking business with two of Streaky’s crew, and they were making a lot of money. Streaky wanted to sit down. He wanted to bring this guy in because he was earning a lot of money. Giacomaro remembers that they met at Vesuvius in Newark. I mean, it sounds just like the Sopranos, doesn’t it? He described the table and how it went down. He said, Streaky sat at the head of the table with his sons right next to him, Joseph and Louis Jr. And his son-in-law, little Al Greco. [11:02] And Giacomaro remembered that Streaky was a skinny little guy who hardly said anything, but he said he had an ego big enough to suffocate the entire restaurant. Over again, little Al took care of the business during this lunch. He pitched Giacomaro on Friday. Him joining the family plan. And Streaky, during this time, he made a big production of putting some $100 bills between his knuckles. He held up his fist when the waiters came and they kissed his ring and took the bill and said, oh, thank you, Don Luigi. Thank you. During this lunch, he remembered that little Al once said, you know, we want to open the books for use. We got big plans for use. He knew what that meant. He knew he was then going to have to give him a percentage of his earnings and let them use his businesses to launder their money. Finally, he says, you know, Giacomaro says, I told Streaky and I told Lil Al, I said, you know, what can you really offer me with that? I don’t already have. He said, it was like everybody just quit breathing. [12:02] Just a dead silence fell over the table. He said he thought Streaky Yaddo was going to leap across his pastas and stab him in the eye with a fork. He didn’t, you know, he’s in a public place. And, you know, he would later say, you know, I was going to use them for everything they had, but never be one of them. You know, I’ll infiltrate their world all the way at the top if I can, [12:22] but I ain’t never being made because the only crime boss I want to answer to is myself. Joseph Gatto, Stricky Gatto’s son, was released in 1993, and he took over control of his father’s crew. He expanded the crew’s gambling operations and introduced, you know, brings it in the 21st century, so to speak, of the use of pagers and cell phones. And by 1999, he gets convicted again on some illegal gambling charges and took a plea deal. And at that time, he did admit that he was a capo of the Genovese family. You know, gambling is getting lesser, lighter sentences by then. He had a pretty light sentence. He gets released again in 2003. But a year later, he’s indicted in 2004 for running something called Catalina Sports, which is an offshore wire room in Costa rica bosley this thing was taking in 300 to 500 hundred thousand dollars profit per week and these gatos they were they were money earners that’s for sure that conviction gets overturned and you know by now 2005. [13:22] They did try him again in 2008. I don’t even know what happened. He’ll die in 2010. He’ll never go back to jail again. And nobody cares about gambling by then because it’s getting opened up all over the place. Streaky Gatto, who originally started talking about his father, died in prison in 2002. He never got out after he got that 65-year sentence from his RICO and murder convictions. So that’s a little bit about Louis Streaky Gatto. [13:48] And Carmine, thanks for suggesting that. So I hope y’all like this story. I hope y’all like my hat with my Gangland Wire logo on it. Talk to you later. Thanks, guys.

Rep. Jamie Raskin speaks to Sarah Ewall-Wice about what he calls a “completely lawless situation” inside Donald Trump's second term, laying out allegations of political slush funds, crypto corruption, pardons for allies, and the weaponization of government power for personal profit. Raskin argues that Trump has transformed the presidency into a machine for enriching himself and rewarding loyalists, comparing the administration to “The Sopranos” as he details billion-dollar deals tied to foreign governments, January 6 pardons, and what Democrats see as an unprecedented assault on democratic norms. The conversation also turns toward Trump's mental fitness, the 25th Amendment, fears surrounding presidential war powers, and the growing push among Democrats to investigate the White House if they regain control of Congress, with Raskin warning that the country is now facing what he describes as a full-scale civic emergency.

We are BACK in New York City with the unapologetic, hilarious, and totally unfiltered Big Brother bombshell GinaMarie Zimmerman—and from the second she walks in, it's chaos, laughter, and jaw-dropping confessions. We kick things off with our signature banter—SnowWhite90210, couture life, and a wild baptism story that somehow leaves Pol' with the accidental name “Rafi.” Yes… wrong house, wrong priest, wrong name—and we're already spiraling. Enter GinaMarie: blonde, bold, and zero filter. From Staten Island roots to modeling school dreams (yes, Barbizon!), she takes us through her journey into reality TV—and reveals the REAL secret to getting cast: stop trying and just be unapologetically YOU. RUNWAY RUNDOWN: We detour into couture, pageants, and iconic fashion moments while GinaMarie gushes over Pol's designs and red carpet looks. Then things heat up… She spills on being an extra on The Sopranos alongside a young Michael B. Jordan (yes, before the Oscar glow-up), working with Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd—and confirms Paul Rudd is EVEN HOTTER in person. Meanwhile, we break down which celebrities actually have that off-camera “electric chemistry” (Kevin Costner = shocking obsession). HAUTE TOPICS: From reality TV psych tests (“if you pass, you don't get cast”) to behind-the-scenes Big Brother secrets—rats in a maze, cameras moving, paranoia, hookups, and jury betrayal—GinaMarie tells it ALL. Including her biggest regret: not managing the jury… and maybe having a “big mouth.” Then… everything shifts. ARMENIAN COFFEE READING: Pol reads GinaMarie's cup and hits deep. Like… tears-on-the-mic deep. He calls out her lack of emotional “anchoring,” the grief of losing her boyfriend, and the pressure of being misunderstood from her past. She opens up about being judged, wanting redemption, and feeling like she hasn't fully stepped into her purpose—yet. And then—BOOM—a prediction:

Chris and Erik to hear about Erik's rough start to his Pensacola shows that left him questioning whether he should continue comedy. Then the guys talk about Spirit airlines going out of business, and Chris finally finishing Sopranos. They also chat about the rise and fall of mob movies, and how AI will gas light you.DraftKings - Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app and use code GOLDEN so you're ready for the moment.

Bomani Jones reacts to a wild NBA playoff weekend as the Celtics' season ends, the Nuggets' championship window gets a lot more complicated, and the New York Knicks suddenly have no excuse not to win the East. Bo breaks down why Boston may no longer be the same team that won the title, what Jason Tatum's injury means for the Celtics going forward, and why the margins have gotten so tight for recent NBA champions. Then, he looks at Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets' playoff exit, and why the backlash to Denver says as much about NBA discourse as it does about Jokic himself. Plus, Bomani explains why the Knicks should now be viewed as the favorite in the East, why Madison Square Garden is facing its biggest basketball pressure in decades, and why New York fans are right to expect this team to get it done.
