Uncle Joey hit the nail on the head. Politics is dirty. Whether it's between 10 people in an office or 10,000 in the nation. It's dirty murderous people. Too much said...
He's wrong though. He's talking about the superficial politics in business and shit that dirty folk use. Understanding the differences in sides and knowing what you want to vote for n shit is not a bad thing lol. That ignorance is a Hollywood program bro.
@@iannordin5250 lmao you think democracy is bad? Look at communism. Both suck but it's clear which is more of a scam. Communism you don't even have a chance bruh

This is one of the best podcasts featuring Joey DIAZ. He’s obviously hilarious but this almost goes full circle with what he’s been talking about with his family for years.
I love TJ English's books. If you're in to true crime he's one of the best writers in the genre. The Westies was one of the craziest books I've read in a long time!
"Philly mafia bombing" that Joey's talking about is that of Philip "Chicken Man" Testa in 80's. Also, Bruce Springsteen sang about it with they "blew up the Chicken Man" in the song "Atlantic City"
Exactly. This was due to the power vacuum created when Angelo Bruno got killed a few months beforehand. FUN FACT: Do you know who Angelo Bruno's driver was on the night of his assasination? None other than John Stanfa! Legend days he was in on it and even lowered the car windows so the shooter had a better shot. Years later, Stanfa led the NYC-backed faction of the Philly mob in the 90's when they went to war with Joey Merlino's "young Turks" crew. Joey Merlino's father and uncle were both Capos for Nicky Scarfo. Once Scarfo went to jail in the mid 80's things really spiraled out of control in Philly. Fascinating stuff!
@@msmith3407 Exactly. Philly mob drama of late 80s-90s was crazy. It was like wild west on streets of South Philly, during that time. Also, It was end of an era
@Google Mtn I think he means that people who says that don't last very long. Probably because real ones don't want people to know about their existance. "Bad boys move in silence".
Weight watchers, less edibles (less munchies, less unhealthy snacks), less time on the road, more of BJJ and kickboxing, plus more time with family, it always helps, lol.
Nicholas Sacco at one time was mayor of North Bergen, principal of a NB elementary school AND a New Jersey senator all at the SAME TIME. Hudson County is a cesspool.
If you grow up in a political family,or with judge,or even higher ranked officer's you find out how messed up and twisted thing's are and you can either tolerate it and join the game or it disgusts you so much that you won't have anything to do with it.
That’s why the term “civil servant” is such a joke. Yes most are there to do an important job that needs to be done like the police, EMT and fire, but the ranking officers and the politicians ride a gravy train that is often corrupt. When I graduated from HS 45 years ago nobody with any ambition went to work for the government and now government employees have lapped average Americans in pay and benefits not to mention an early guaranteed retirement.
The Mob was big in construction so easy access to explosives then. I remember at 17 going to a rural hardware store and buying two 50 pound boxes of dynamite and a bag of caps. No questions asked.
Joey reminds me of that guy who has a story for everything. Like you can’t tell what might be bullshit and what’s true but you don’t care. The way he tells stories is so genuine. Like that family friend you call uncle who you like more than your real uncle. Lol.
I think things are exaggerated but with the older generation I doubt they concoct stories based of nothing just for entertainment, even as far as professional entertainers. Maybe I’m being optimistic
Joey I’m a Cuban that was raised knowing all that stuff you’re talking about my dad was in it. Really deep stuff can’t write about it. But Union City was home base for the anti Castro Cuban groups back in the 70s. I live in West Palm Beach now hit me up if you come to comedy club here I will come meet you.
Anyway me and you could have a talk! I’m cuban and my whole life I’ve been kept away from that side of my family. Now that I’m of age to do what I want I’m trying to learn more about my people and heritage of cuba
I understand what Joey means about his life experiences being so crazy that most people wouldn't believe it. When you're cultured and expose yourself to different things and people, it's not hard to do it. You can't be a home body and never get out of the state you grew up in. You gotta get outin the world. Ignorance is no longer bliss. Education goes far beyond your average textbooks.
I remember when I was younger and I was in the car with my uncle in the back seat, and I remember we stopped at a stop sign 🛑 and there was a parked car on the side of the road and it blew up out of no where. That shit scared me that day. That shit scarred me since then. So when I hear about car bombings, I get a little bit of a flashback of that very day.
American La Cosa Nostra prohibited the use of bombs because of how many civilians were getting killed in Italy from bombs. But they still used them often.
I was locked up in the Federal system with the Senator of New Jersey he was my roommate...or cell mate...wtf ever and when he was locked up his wife became a politician and I've never heard Joey mention any of this...late 70s or early 80s....
My grandfather got caught up with racketeering and few other things in nj. Whenever I would take leave and go back, I'd get pulled over and asked questions about him and my uncle lol. Its great being a ginny
the movie isnt related to Al Capone at all even if that was his nickname. Al Capones life was absolutely nothing like that movie and im sure you know that but im just stating for the people that dont
You hear people say “I could die because of the info I know and the stuff I’ve seen” but you don’t really buy it. When Joey says “I could tell ya but I wouldn’t even make it to the 405” I believe him immediately
Joey Diaz the Italian Cuban, can tell a story like nobody’s business.
Italian Cuban..didnt know they made such a thing. Gotta try it...bwaha
He’s just Cuban
That's Tony Montana dude!
FORGET ABOUT IT!

A man of culture i see
Accurate as hell.
Uncle Joey hit the nail on the head. Politics is dirty. Whether it's between 10 people in an office or 10,000 in the nation. It's dirty murderous people. Too much said...
Democracy is a scam
Politics is just a bunch of high level criminals who figured out how to run shit from the very top and write the laws to benefit themselves.

“You have no idea what I know”
Hearing that from Joey, it must be some heavy duty corruption
Every time I see Joey I feel like going out and getting an eight ball😂
This guy lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's the pharaohs for me and Egyptian mummies

English who? The language?

TJ English is the 3rd guy on the podcast!!!
@@josephliptak3183 Wow, no need to insult

Joey Diaz is such a masterful story teller, he needs to have his own podcast where he just tells stories of growing up lol
He does
He has a podcast for over 8 years i think

@@MrSkarbek36 your mama
I could listen to Joey tell stories for hours and hours...
I love TJ English's books. If you're in to true crime he's one of the best writers in the genre. The Westies was one of the craziest books I've read in a long time!
Fouronesix 82 It's cool that Westies book has map, inside of it, of the killings and addresses of places and people
Gonna look this guy up. I’ve been in need of a good read.
Wow ,i just read havana nights from TJ English didn't even know it was him until i see your comment
Indeed, he knows his stuff. How fascinating it must've been while doing research, mad skills in nonfiction writing.
What book is talking about specifically?

Mom worked for judges born in philly.
Gotti was the one that asked they let Stanfa back in Philly. He almost got clipped by the Genovese family

Is it me or is Joey looking healthier?
Q Crew no it’s not you he’s definitely looking healthier in fact he looks the healthiest I’ve ever seen him.
Yeah he lost weight i think
Its just you, my brother... Puncle Joey is still fat and ugly... :)
He’s on weight watchers and losing weight plus doing bjj and kickboxing so no it’s not just you he is looking better
Weight watchers, less edibles (less munchies, less unhealthy snacks), less time on the road, more of BJJ and kickboxing, plus more time with family, it always helps, lol.
I have a guy I work with that reminds me of Joey. I can literally listen to him talk for hours. Always has great stories.
TJ needs to come on Joe and Joey's podcasts every time he releases a book. He really makes some of the most interesting podcasts.
It's about time for another Joey Diaz episode.. been a while
This was my favorite episode of JRE. I've listened to it over 20 times easily. It's fascinating and hilarious.
Which episode is this?
@@alexanderkeenan7578 Joey and TJ English. Not sure of the number. Look it up. It's excellent.
This makes me appreciate how realistic the Sopranos was

Any situation ever either joeys been there while it happened or one of his family members or friends were there or apart of it someway somehow 😂

I would love a documentary on Joey diaz and everything about the shady shit. it would be epic!

It's sad how many boys without a strong father figure got into tough guy stuff like gangs and the Mob. A dead end street.
Joey Diaz has the best stories by far. Joe is so quiet lol.
I understand what Joey means about his life experiences being so crazy that most people wouldn't believe it. When you're cultured and expose yourself to different things and people, it's not hard to do it. You can't be a home body and never get out of the state you grew up in. You gotta get outin the world.

I love how Joey describes the streets of NY like we all know the places he's referencing lol
He's talking to the ppl that grow up there , to make his story legit. He's also old, and you know old ppl get in details
I'm from Hudson County... and whatever Joey Diaz says it's pretty much 🎯💯 I seen alot of shit
I grew up in NJ (Union County) and I must check out this book.
I remember when I was younger and I was in the car with my uncle in the back seat, and I remember we stopped at a stop sign 🛑 and there was a parked car on the side of the road and it blew up out of no where. That shit scared me that day. That shit scarred me since then. So when I hear about car bombings, I get a little bit of a flashback of that very day.
Was it a Sunday?
My elementary school principal was the mayor of our town, Joey, and he was a good guy.
"I kept it bottled up joe I kept it."
Joey Diaz.
New York in the 70's 80's was a Dangerous but Romantic time. Loads of injustice but full of characters and excitment. Bit of a Wild Wild West feel.
I hope Joey writes a book A.S.A.P! I love hearing stories like this, especially when they are true.
“I will get shot” -Uncle Joey
I think if there was a movie about Joey Diaz's life, it would have to be a 2 or 3 week miniseries, he has so many stories and experiences to tell 😮
Joey needs to write a tell all book and have it release when he passes. Man what a juicy read that would be.😉
American La Cosa Nostra prohibited the use of bombs because of how many civilians were getting killed in Italy from bombs. But they still used them often.
Gotta make a movie about JD. The stories he tells. It would be another Goodfellas!
I was locked up in the Federal system with the Senator of New Jersey he was my roommate...or cell mate...wtf ever and when he was locked up his wife became a politician and I've never heard Joey mention any of this...late 70s or early 80s....
The Mayor of Weehawken Joey talks about was Wally Lindsley.
