I like his podcasts, are so the early ones., He has slipped a bit and has gone overboard calling people a rat every week. Still I admire him for being open, not being a rat, and just saying what he feels. Those condemning him should direct their anger at people like Penisi or DiLeonardo, not Merlino. Also keep in mind Merlino has done well financially (Which pisses off jealous types) through legitimate means over the past 20 years.
