Joey really unleashed on Junior. I'm no fan of either of these guys, but Joey is basically saying what I and a few other followers of this genre have been trying to hammer home for the longest time. In the streets of NYC and surrounding areas, Junior is persona non grata. According to the code, he is a rat. You don't implicate 32 people and expect a warm welcome from the boys, but that is why the only people who have defended him are internet warriors who don't understand that world.
There is also no reason to bring up John Alite when discussing this matter. Wasn't he a nobody? Well, John Gotti Jr. wasn't a nobody lol
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away

I really like Merlino's podcast but he is getting over the top with this rat stuff. I dont know why he is going after Gotti jr since he never says anything about Merlino and basically lays low and lives his life. I can understand alite, pennisi, borello cicale, Rubio and the others. He also sounded ridiculous by calling sonny franzese a rat.

. That’s just Joey in a nutshell. He feels he is more important than he is. I mean he’s known for two things being shot in the ass and the fact that his wife was sleeping with all the guys in the street. As for Junior Gotti I’m indifferent to him. In general I think the whole “going after rats thing” is getting dolly. At the end of they were all criminals.

I think the issue isn't so much that Merlino goes after rats because you have alite, borello, cicale, pennisi talking about him and are active on YouTube. Junior Gotti is not, so what go after him. its not like he testified against him. its silly. Maybe Jr gotti will make a video of Merlino's dance moves at the mummers parade???

. Like I said it doesn’t bother me really. Joey is what he is. He thinks he is more important. Despite being a “boss” like I mentioned in my previous post his actual legacy is something to be too proud of lol. As for Junior he’s probably the one Gotti who I can sort of stand. At least he recognized the life was no good for him and got out. I just think the whole internet fighting between former mobsters is silly no matter who does it

The show has lost its shine for me . What’s next Joey tells us we landed on the moon ? What has he “ exposed “ that everyone already didn’t know .
