Watching some of the Mob Talk sitdowns.. i'm noticing some new faces.. Anyone know of who some of these new guys are? I know Mazzones have some younger kids.... I see a young kid always with ligambi as well.

Crime families always need to grow and get younger...

The young kid you always see with Ligambi is Mikey Emma, Jr. He is Mousie’s nephew and also close with Dom Grande. He used to be with Dom Grande a lot now you always see him with Ligambi.

The younger Mazzone you see is Anthony, who is Steve and Sonnys nephew. He is a real estate agent and not involved and is only around a lot because they are his family and very close. Very very nice kid....absolutely not involved. The other you are referring too with Joe a lot is Mikey Emma. Mousie is his Uncle and yeah he is with Dom a lot but they friends since kids. He just got a new BMW and is always riding around.

Something tells me the way that kid got that job is not the same way other real estate agents get that job.

Is Emma, Ligambi's driver? Generally see him a lot around Joe. Also any info on Johnny Gongs son? Heard he was involved in being stabbed awhile back.

I won't get into anything recent with Mikey. I think you are confusing a few things. I don't know of Johnny having a son. Are you thinking of his little brother Stevie? He's in into some stuff. I remember Johnny got arrested back in the day for stabbing some singer at Deco but that was like 15 years ago...

When we were teens we knew who everyone was it did not take long and we were all raised the same so some of our offspring did not fall far from the tree .

It’s a way of life connected or not we all had the same honor with every woman man child in the neighborhood we looked out that takes a few generations to bleed out and there are a couple strong holds and not just us in North East there are some midwestern towns with deep roots that still alllive together.

I know guys a huge family in Pitt that never went down none of them got pinched “ Not saying they stayed together or are active just saying a big blood family in the life maybe 75 males not made but the life inbred.

I think some of it has to do with Joey Merlino's looks strangely enough. A young, good looking guy (don't take my word for it) who local journalists and TV stations keep getting soundbites from, unwittingly perpetuating a glamorous image of the mob to impressionable kids and teenagers. We're talking ages 13-19 when he was at his peak. A lot of the guys who post about Philly and a lot of the hangers-on seem to be early-thirties to mid-thirties. They probably listened to Joey Merlino being interviewed about sports teams, saw him on the news channeling Gotti by giving away turkeys/helping his PR, and heard about his "friendships" with hockey players and thought "this guy's pretty cool".

A lot of these guys probably had pictures of him in their bedrooms, like a teen idol or something.

I mean, there has got to be some reason why, per capita, there is more interest in the mob in Philly then there is anywhere else (it's dormant in most of the country). I'm presuming if the head cheese in Philly looked like Phil Testa and had the presence of Angelo Bruno a lot of these young men wouldn't give a shit?

Or look at it another way: why do rap artists worship John Gotti?

Magnetism - either you have it or you don't.

Cult of personality.

People see Joey on tv but thats not him. He is a very nice, very loyal and respectful and much more soft spoken than the media make you think. He will talk with anyone and will not look down on someone like he's better than them. His girls Sophia and Nicolette go/went to Villanova and are great girls. Soph dates Colton Welker who plays for the Rockies. Nice kid. Told me he went to Parkland HS and road on the same bus as that crazed mass shooter for a year. None of the guys coming up didn't know Joey since we was kids. Nobody knew Roggie Vella growing up and look how that turned out.

This is what I'm on about. I just googled "Colton Welker Merlino" and found out they were/are dating in 5 seconds. Why/how does anyone need to know this information?

"He is a very nice, very loyal and respectful and much more soft spoken than the media make you think."

And he always pays back any monies he owes promptly. And he doesn't take financial advantage of benevolent old men who own luxury aircrafts.

Not for nuthin', but Moe's sister is anything but an ugly woman..

A wild Irish Rose with a Lily white skin, beautiful dark ginger curls and a full, natural body with a perky bosom. I'm somewhat of an artist myself and when I visited Moe last summer, she asked me to paint her like one of my French girls..

I don't know. Tell us what color Joey Merlino's eyes are and what his favorite movie is.

From an attraction/recruitment perspective GOTTI was the best thing for the mob, since ------------------------?

I don't know..

The same thing for Merlino

I mean they weren't in the same league
Arguably Gotti was the considered the BOSS OF BOSSES by some.

And he took over the largest and most powerful criminal enterprise in America.

The Philly family obiviosly much smaller scale

But same principle at play.

No one really looks at it this way.

Also Gotti took so much heat off of the other families because the Govt was obsessed with taking him down.

I mean the Feds spent $100MM going after him.

Adjusted for inflation that probably would be closer to $300Mm today.

Think about that for a minute.

They can't help who their father is, and you can't help who your blood is, and of course a girl loves her father, but at the same time there should be a certain cognizance of why they have the lifestyle they do - then again, their mother has a respectable profession (I believe).

This is why The Sopranos was such a great show. Look at Meadow and how conflicted she was. Such a well written character.

I refuse to believe all mob children are yuppie idiots like Cutolo's son and the Gotti children.

I want to hear the other story!

I’ve met Merlino twice since 2014 and he’s been nothing but very nice- PhillyGuy you’re absolutely right on that. BUT I think he’s also grown up a lot. He sounds like a much more mature person/boss/mobster than he was in the 80s and even the 90s...

I'm positive you guys have met him on a superficial level, nothing more than going up to him to seek an autograph or ask for a picture with him.

I guarantee you if I went up to a random mobster in Philadelphia and said I was a tourist from some podunk town in Nebraska and I'm a big aficionado of the mob they would probably get a kick out of me, too.
