The Third Colombo War - Persico vs Orena 1991-93

NEW RELEASE: "The Third Colombo War - Persico vs Orena" is now showing on the "Mob Fireside Chat" YouTube channel.

Lisa worked on this for weeks. It is nothing less than a one-hour underworld epic (53+ minutes to be exact) about the chronology of Mafia warfare, and the Cosa Nostra machinations that led up to it. Visit "Mob Fireside Chat" to enjoy the show....and don't forget the popcorn!

Epic for sure. It's no secret that I've never been interested in these big city guys that I never met. I really don't need my imagination to comprehend what LCN life was like. I saw enough of it first hand to understand that only life at the top was where you needed to be to live the life that most "Wannabes" dream of. It ain't that way along the way! I found one of the most intriguing parts of this podcast was at the beginning with the well attired gentleman and the youngster looking at him then ended with a similar scene.

Glad you enjoyed it FOH. Lisa did an awesome job with the storyline. We're both very happy with the way it turned out. I think most viewers will enjoy it as well.

The completion of this particular video has completely elevated and revamped our thought process about future mob videos we will produce for you.

Please give us your thoughts after watching our Colombo War series. Because what we have in store for the future is gonna knock ya socks off!

Its very well done, great production.

Thanks for the share.

Great stuff. Keep up the great content!!!

Glad you enjoyed it FOH...Lots more on the way

Our pleasure DP. Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for watching. And lots more on the way in the near future

I mean this sincerely and it’s coming from me, so you know it’s for real cause I wouldn’t say shit that’s positive to you if it wasn’t haha
But this is absolutely the best documentary on the Colombo family war that I’ve ever seen and one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen in general and the way it was produced and the format was excellent and I hope is how all of the future documentaries will be
As far as any critiques, and this is just my opinion....I think Lisa is probably the best female you could find to narrate the documentaries but with that said IMO I think someone w a Robert Stack or Bill Kurtis type of voice would be better
Also the part where it goes into how Orena got close to Joe Massino , I feel that should have said Acting Bonnano Bosses Sal Vitale and Anthony Spero because Massino was in prison from 87-92 which was basically the entire time that Vic Orena was Acting Boss

Other than that great fucking job

What happened to your article on Bonanno captain Joseph Notaro? When I click the link it says page not found.

LOL, Louis I'm gonna take that compliment in the sincere vain that you gave it. Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed the show. Lisa and I are extremely happy with the way the production came out. And yes, we are striving to improve the quality of what we produce for the future. Always!

Stay turned, because we've got a lot more headed your way.

the site is under construction.

it is really great work on this one. kudos to both of you for another job well done! I can't wait for the next one.

Thank you Mr. Faffy!.... we appreciate your support

You guys did an amazing job on this one !!! Your videos are always good,but this one hit a new high. Well researched,great assemblage of pertinent footage,very listenable narration, spot-on editing, and a great knack for weaving an interesting narrative. Many years ago,I ran an audio and video production business, and I can appreciate the amount of effort that goes into producing even a five or ten minute segment,so a tip of the fedora to both of you !!

Thank you Lou. Thats why this particular video took so long to complete. It was very long, and very intricate. And of course it was my written story that we went off of, but I gotta give the credit where the credits due. And that's my partner Lisa. She broke her ass on this one and really put her heart into it...and it shows.

Thanks for the nice compliment. Complimentary words like all of you have said to us only goes to further our desire to elevate futures videos to new heights.

WOW... looks like a full blown documentary made for T.V.
CONGRATS!!!

There is one item that was incorrect
Bobby Tarantola wasn't killed

He was shot and lived

He was shot by the Gambino Family over a beef

He is still alive today

He now has his badge...

Thanks BH. I'm not personally familiar with Tarantola. If you know for sure he is walking and breathing, show me the proof ok. It's too late to alter the video, but I can (and will) adjust my written story the video was based off of.

It's a really good documentary about the situation. You guys can be proud of this one. Good job

About 80 percent
You're 100 percent right BH. Tarantola didn't go missing for 30 years.

Also they claimed on the Colombo War Michael Giangregorio was part of the casualties list. He wasn't. He was a target of 3 attempts by the Bath Avenue Crew. He survived all three. They didn't know that because in Jimmy Calandra's videos he referred to him as Mikey Hamster. They are horrible at research and unless Jimmy calandra says Michael Giangregorio they don't know who it is. Same thing with Tarantola. They're limited to Wikipedia knowledge. If not how would they not know Michael Giangregorio is Mikey Hamster? How would they not know who Frankie Botts was? How would they report that Bobby Tarantola was dead and missing 30 years? You gotta do the research

Thank you RC. We certainly try our best. Glad you enjoyed it.

Kudos. I enjoyed it. I can't believe the rest of the families let that war last so long. I child understand them thinking they'll pick up the leftover pieces, but three years and all the press and law enforcement scrutiny.

Thanks Lou. My husband was an Emmy Award winning producer/director mostly involved in sports and commercial work (Bears/college basketball, etc.) so maybe I picked up something from him...lol. But since you're an expert I do have a question about something technical I'm trying to improve and maybe you might have some thoughts on that - I'll PM you.

Thanks also to everyone else for their kind comments.

Great work on these videos amazing work and thank you for giving me something good to watch with all the crap out there. Keep up the great work!

I really appreciate all the work that you guys put into what you do.

THANK YOU...

I really love your website, and was wondering, once it's up and running again, will all of your wiseguy profiles come back?

I apologize but I never saw this post of yours. Thank you BH.

Ya know, if you really stop and think about it, In hindsight it's almost unbelievable that in the 1990s such a "gangland style" war could even take place on the streets of New York. It was reminiscent of something we expected to see back in the 1930s or 1950s, not nowadays.

New Yorkers were captivated by all of it and it made for great print. But in retrospect it was a crazy Wild West type situation on the streets.
