Idk there’s something about all those old Italian guys sitting outside that social club on a summer day speaking Italian that makes me happy and glad the mafia hasn’t totally been exterminated and that these old neighborhoods aren’t completely gentrified yet. That’s really cool to see.

Mooney the only guy that actually uses his own money to provide great content , gas and wear and tear on truck is not cheap and NEVER ASKS FOR ONE DIME UNLIKE EVERY OTHER CHANNEL BEGGING FOR MONEY.

Whoever paid the detective to raid other family gambling is a rat move in my book. Btw, I always thought it's bs how they bust some old guys in a basement playing poker while gambling is legal everywhere now. Even kids can get online and gamble but it boils down to taxes. The gov. doesn't care what you do as long as u pay taxes.

Just found your page a few days ago and a huge Mooney fan. No lame or poor attempts at humor like most in the commentary,actually going to the scene and giving the real info people want etc. Most importantly I admire the street smarts and being able to record this stuff without drawing attention and being respectful when confronted. Being from Philly and only really being to the touristy areas of NY I never realized how many of these NY neighborhoods look exactly like a lot of Philly neighborhoods which is why I really enjoy the drive throughs. Keep going Moon!

It's comforting to know that there are still social clubs around. Thanks for your efforts!

Mooney, this is definitely one of your top 10 videos of all time! I like that it was "current events", and something in the news today. The grand tour of these social clubs was cool, including the drives and scenery along the way. Anything on Long Island captures my interest, as I spent a lot of time out there, including Jones Beach; which you weren't all that far from. The guys sitting around at the first social club, didn't look all that gangsterish (if that's a word); you could've taken them all very easily! LOL. When I was watching your video and at the end when it started to rain, it also started to rain out here where I'm at. That was kinda eerie! Be safe bud, and watch out for falling air conditioners! 😀

Hi truck!!!! Mooney, another steller video. Just seen a bunch of this go down. You are on top of it. Appreciate it as always.

Great tour of Queens and Long Island! Pretty brave walking through those old timers with a camera-you got cogliones! Thanks for another great video Mooney!

Excellent video! So cool to be able to see up close something that happened so recently! Good work!

Great content Mooney! Keep up the good work. As someone from the Midwest whose never been to NY but has an interest in OC this is invaluable content.

Great content Mooney. Long time no hear. First time see. I am a transplant New Yorker living in Miami(have been for a minute now),but I am from Bushwick Brooklyn which is not too far off from this part of queens. I know these areas all too well if not the haunts. This brings back some fond memories. Almost makes me want to move back lol. I would if I didn’t hate the cold so much lol.Thanks man!!!

Did not know all those storefronts still existed! When I saw this in the news I immediately thought of MDC and voila MDC delivered with much more info and better visuals than the news had. I was wondering, at the start of the video, why you had those guido glasses and chain on and started laughing when you walked by the first place where they were all hanging outside. Had no no idea you were going “undercover” and trying to be incognito. 😂😂. Thanks for this great tour. Nice to see the truck on the muscle going 75 mph!

I wore sunglasses like that when I was holding vito genovese's umbrella back in 78 but hey, that's the life-john alite

Im good friends with a business owner on the block of the 2nd place. He brought me in there to grab coffee one time and right away, I "knew" where I was. "Members Only" sign with a group of old timers playing cards in the back room. Never went back in there again. Everytime he goes in for coffee, I wait outside. When I saw the title of this video, I thought, I bet Mooney goes to the spot on Myrtle Ave....and sure enough, he did. Small world.

Dude, love your videos! Not just the awesome information, but your commentary is kick ass!

Big thumbs up from me Mooney, channel and topics you chose are always so interesting, & laid back to travel from each scene of story’s, to show the underground mafia families still in someway operating in this modern day. I’m so fascinated in the era of the 70s mafia history especially Mr Demeo & crew, Must be so cool to know this notorious past in these families happened so close to you being a New Yorker,…I’m from New Zealand & couldn’t be more far away from this history hahaha. Top Stuff Mooney 👍👏🏼💪🏻

Yes Mooney!!! Been wanting some active social clubs for ever

The statue of limitations on these charges runs out after 10 years and the feds waited 9.5 years to hand down indictments. That’s crazy. It’s almost like they forgot they were working on this case.

Subbed. Love this kind of content man. The first thing when this story hit the news, I immediately started looking at Streetviews to see what the places look like. Btw, you should look up 73 Market Street in the Two Bridges section of Manhattan. It used to be Peter ‘Red’ DiChiara’s social club until he passed. Its still a genovese hangout today though. If you look through older street view images you can see them all sitting out front here and there

What a fantastic video. Take care mate geez. Appreciate these big time.

dude ur vids are awesome mooney. always look forward to monday and thursday when you drop them

You're right on the ball with this Mooney, very timely video. You really do get around, it's like a full time job for you between research, driving, filming, editing. But the end results are always great. By the way, at the first social club, you thought the guys might be judging you, if they were, "chadrool" most likely would have been the word they were thinking, not schmuck. Chadrool is Italian slang basically for someone who's a dope, dummy, etc. My grandfather and my mother used that expression many times. To be clear I'm not saying that about you, I'm just saying what the word the paisans at the social club could have been thinking instead of schmuck.

MOONEY YOUR AWESOME MAN, thank you thank you. This was an excellent break down. Hello to the truck 😁

Super cool! Glad I found your channel. Keep the good work coming.

you are going above and beyond now Mooney, this is first class content and appreciate the effort you put in for us all Sir 👍

Thanks for making this video Mooney. I didn't think they actually still had active Italian social clubs running today. I guess they're more lowkey these days. Great video salute🫡💪🏾💯

Saying HI 👋 to you and the truck. Love the longer video!! The first place is really convenient for them. If they kill someone they can just take them across the street. 😆 Thank you for all you do for us. Take care and be safe. Can't wait for the next one.

Really enjoying all you're videos! I especially like how genuine and well researched they are. I'm from the Nottingham/Sheffield area of England which is associated with Robin Hood amongst a few other famous figures so Iv always had an interest in crime and history and love this kind of thing. Keep up the good work man! All the best 👍

What’s up Mooney and truck! Keep up the awesome videos! My favorite ones are the mob content, thanks bro and stay safe out there 😎

Hello, Mooney Truck!!!!!😂😂 You're smart & amazing, Mooney Dash Cam, as well as being so respectful!!! You look great also!!!! All the research you do is no small feat & you have to be commended for doing such meticulous & admirable research on the topics you present!!!! Cheers, stay safe always!!!!🥰🥰🦅🦅

Wow, love to see the areas, all the social clubs and locations with the background info putting it all together.

"Say hi.... to the truck!" Funniest shit ever. That was alot of locations. Hats off to you for doing that. Good job! Also Hi Truck!🤗💜

Outstanding! Don't ask how I know, but all the wiretaps include the gangsters saying "Hi truck!"...

This is the Dopest video Mooney , I actually got a bit starstruck from the first social club seeing those potential mob guys sat out the front , Top man Mooney 🙌👊😎

Great 📹🎥 video great tour 👍great KZfaqr definitely subscribed much love all the way from chicago.

Great video today thanks for what you do and keep it up you do a great job and it's really enjoyable thanks mate 👍 😀 😄

Great job Mooney!! Hi Truck! Got to give credit to the Bonannos for being old school. More than a century after Joe and his boss Marranzano were sent out from Castellamare by the Sicilian Grand Lodge to take over the American Mafia from the Morello/Terranova aka Masseria aka Luciano aka Genovese Family their guys are still speaking Sicilian in front of a social club in a Sicilian, and Italian, speaking area where they run card games. even if their presumed current Boss seems inept. And it's directly across from a cemetary. How appropriate. You probably eyeballed the guy on the motorcycle at the corner of club #2 who was making a phone call when you came back. A lookout? Darn those Feds. They closed down the last traditional Italian cobbler/shoe repair in Merrick! The case, based on the reports I've seen, seems a little thin and disproportionate. There are people (lawyers even) who tried to murder cops with lesser charges and bail. Certainly there actual murders and attempted murders with less attention. As you pointed out the financial numbers parroted by the DA make no sense. If they want to try these guys for being Mafiosi where are the racketeering and tax evasion charges? I suspect they have the corrupt cop dead to rights but some of the others may get off or plea bargained down.

Great vid mooney you managed to cram alot into such a short time , well done mate and the locations were spot on . Cheers .

Great video this one, Mooney. Thoroughly enjoyable Greetings from England

Good stuff Mooney, love the content.

Great video! Try not to get whacked, Mooney! lol

Love the content Mooney.Keep it coming Brother.👍

Great content always! Thank you so interesting😃

Slowly you’ve been adding more Drip 💧 You’re becoming a star my guy ⭐️

Keep up the good work Mooney between the frequency, quality and how quick you’ve been coming out w videos following recent headlines I have to take my hat off to you. Great job as always Brotha!

Been watching and enjoying your vids from Australia. Keep it up👍🏽

Mooney .... You just the nicest coolest most likable guy there is. Your interests and contents are also just like yourself. You leave us wishing you the bestest at the ending of every clip you put up. Thank you much. 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝🤝

I’ve always been amazed that you leave the truck running when you get out in videos. Down here in New Orleans it would be stolen before you even close the door

Absolutely one of your best, Its not just the story but the way its presented You got it down!!

Love this video Mooney. Quick story from when I used to haul top soil to NYCHA in 2000’s is I used to see all these clubs and the names stuck out. One in particular was Badminton Club. I was joking about there can’t be too many badminton players around here. Well a friend of mine who “knew people” pulled me aside and gave me the short version on Clubs. After that I’d see the dumbest names in the strangest spots. Always wondered how the cops didn’t raid more of them. Guess due to this dirtbag detective. Thanks again Mooney. Hi to the truck and keep sticking those landings aka parking

Coming through with the best content as always 😻😻😻

Great video Mooney, your stuffs good, current and you do your homework, maybe some day youl be asked into the back of one of the clubs to use your expertise in settling a sit- down, just pack a piece and keep your back to the wall.

My pops had Joker poker machines in his grocery store in the 90s. There was always people back there playing. RIP Pa

Epic video! Mooney Dash cam goes to places where angels fear to tread. Thanks bro, keep em comin. 👍

Mooney rolls up on the mob looking like a hit man!! The glasses (which are sick) and the hat……seriously looked like a hit man. Great stuff

Mooney you should take some of your subscribers to a ride along! Could be sketchy meeting someone you never met lol but man that would be cool. You know all the spots! I’ve visited New York several times from Southern California and always wanted to see where some of these wise guys use to hang out.

Love the content Mooney! Should check out some film locations in famous movies/tv shows. Sopranos locations would be cool!

Wow, thanks for putting this together. Thanks Mooney

Mooney could totally narrate a mobster movie 🤠👉👉👈👈, gave me some great laughs. Great content Mooney! As always

MOONEY and JMAN, I saw you guys debating how these "businesses" survive even on $2000 profit a day in gambling. We had a lot of these in the neighborhood growing up. I don't think you understand how it works. First, there is no rent. Because there is no landlord. Maybe it's in some old Italian guy's name in the neighborhood, maybe some LLC controlled by some retired guy in Florida owns it, maybe an ex-wife of some guy. Once a year, they give the "owner" the $5000 or whatever to pay the annual property taxes. There are no fire inspections. No one is coming around to see if their Consumer license is up to date. There is no inventory. Some old retired guy has the concession; maybe he kicks them $100 bucks a week in rent, he makes some sandwiches, has some bottles of booze, some cheese, some salad, some olives, he seels the stuff, works mostly for tips, keep him busy. No one is walking in the store. You are not welcome. And there's nothing in it. So JMAN, they are making $2K a day on average is the claim, that's after paying one or two guys to deal the cards, who also clean up the backroom with the guy with the sandwiches. Maybe they throw $50 to a bodyguard to hang around. So they are clearing $600,000 -$700,000 in a single spot annually for doing absolutely nothing. Yeah, that's pretty good money.

First place? Absolutely smashing! Smooth way to go between a bunch of Italian gentlemen hanging outside, MD. Gave me a chuckle 😅

Nearly another thousand subs since your last video Mooney, right on! I Lol, you are totally looking like a goodfella in this one! And Hi, Truck! You're looking great too!

enjoyed this video, keep up the great content!!

There was a “help wanted” sign on the first place. You should apply and become an associate of the Bonnano’s lol

You had a lookout calling the guys telling them hey there's a ball buster snooping around

Outstanding content Mooney...not much else to say bro... Oh nice kicks you're wearin' too!

Watching this with my phone propped up on a mafia encyclopedia vol.3 while eating an hot Italian sausage sandwich. Great video as always mooney!.👍👍🙏

Mooney my brother!! 😎💪

Epic on every level. I believe you just raised the bar yet again Mooney way above all the others.

Keep hitting them out of the park with the great content , great video👍👍👍

Duuude I love this video. It’s like a blast from the past

Thanks Mooney

They must have filed this case right before the statute of limitations expired. The limit is 10 years and this took place like 9 years and 11.5 months ago.

You got some serious balls mooney😆👍 Your video in front of live Wiseguys. I hope you get an Oscar for this show.😀Opps! almost forgot. HI TRUCK!!

Great video,love seeing the boys sitting out front of the club.

I hope our boy doesn't get picked up for conspiracy to illegally park, because I think the truck will rat him out in a second to save himself.

This is very good :) Mob Mob Mob films

You never miss bro. Keep up the good work killing it with the iced out cuban

ALWAYS love cruising with you. Great video darlin.

That's what I am talking about, you with the fresh current mob stuff.

Ay Mooney my guy can u do Gambino social clubs next? I need to know where to go so I can try and apply to be a member

Your channels blowing up dude I love it, all the best!!

Great content as always from moon man. There must have been a club or two in Corona back in the day?

Thank you for the tour Mooney. Yes, you look,cool today. I heard about this bust on my Facebook news, but i never checked out the details. You gave us all the facts here, thank you. Hate those dirty cops. Everytime i watch your videos i realize how big Queens really is. When i lived there i never saw all these neighborhoods you take us to+ . I did grow up in a beautiful neighborhood in Bayside, and i did live in Forest Hills. I didn't want to move to Fla, in my early 20s, but my ex forced me to. Not to sound like a snob, i have to say in reality, my ex did me a big favor by dragging me to Fla. When I look at some these neighborhoods you drive through, they look so unappealing to me now. Have a great weekend. Stay safe.

Mental Mooney, best video to date by a country mile!

Very informative I enjoyed it great job.

Good video and footage. In New York prices have gone way up; so I can understand why everyone is on the hustle. Things are expensive. Thanks for posting

I'd love to hear you tell the story of Tony "bananas" Caponigro coming up to NY thinking he was about to be crowned the boss of Philly and getting a death sentence from the commission instead.

4:04 Aliens drive by.

Another great video man !!!

Great work once again keep it up love travelling round New York

Mooney - show us Pauly G’s house where he was killed. It’s off 19th Ave between Benson Ave and 86th in Brooklyn.

I’ll tell you a funny story years ago I was in New York I walked across the street like you did I got nailed by a NYPD car loaded with brass. They Got out asked me for ID and gave me a citation for jaywalking. I went to Skimmehorn Street no excuse me 141 Joralemon to the criminal court building and spent an entire day there. The The courtroom was packed. I was the last one the judge calls me I go before the judge. He said and I quote I haven’t seen one of these since the 50s. He asked me what happened I told him exactly what happened a NYPD car with brass Officers. Got out of their car and I deed me. I told him I was in a rush my father had just gotten out of the hospital nearly dying of a heart attack and I was rushing to get to see him. The judge reduce Reduced fine from two dollars to one dollar. True story. Be careful how you cross the street. Besides being unsafe and dangerous especially with the way people are driving today We all would hate for you to have to spend all day in court when you could be taking these great videos .

Your one of the few I follow. I don't do Instagram. But your content is straight up.

My boy putting in the quick work 💪 🙌

Took them a 10yr investigation to discover what the whole block knew. Cool video

The dude, sentry, in the doorway of the social club that had his painting clothes on was watching you closely. The help wanted sign in the window, gave me a chuckle as well as the heavily tinted FBI surveillance Chevy parked across the street. Good video.

Holy chat ! Best video ever ! Hello truck. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

Mooney has to start a real estate video company. All the towns were nice,clean and working class. People who see these videos would be surprised how nice neighborhoods and how walkable the shopping areas are.

I was hoping for a pork store
