"There's nothing you could do. That's the life we chose my friend. You know my father was a gangster, my brother. They know what they were doing... Life is life my friend. If you want to be in this life, you've got to be able to accept all of this. You know what I mean Vlad? Capisci?" Damn, love it. This guy is proper old-school Mafiosi. Schooling vlad in the life.

I can tell Bobby was a hard-core gangster back in his day. Great interview Vlad🙌🏾

I’m a retired career cop, and I really enjoy this interview. He is well spoken, funny, serious, and intelligent. He is one of my “favorite gangsters” if one can describe them as such. The other two are Michael Francese and Sammy the Bull. He gives the impression that he would be a great guy to have a drink with at a pub and just chat about his remarkable career. It was hilarious that he wasn’t sure which murder they were charging him with. 😂

I've been binging all these mob interviews for like two weeks, these interviews are so entertaining.

As a Londoner you can hear the difference between the two accents, New York and Boston.

I thought the Italian NYC accent was the best, but the Italian Boston accent takes the cake!!!! 👍🏼💯🇮🇹

I'm loving the Mobster interviews

All these mafia interviews could be movies straight up 🔥🔥🔥

I really like this guy - enjoy listening to him. Very respectful of other guys and the history of it all.

Just a great interview...👍🏼Very sad about the loss of Bobby Luisi daughter...🙏🏻

Dude is literally self accountable straight up G!

Bobby said “ it’s the life we choose on our own” they know full well what’s involved in that life

Michael Franzese - “I was studying to be a doctor.” Bobby Luisi - “I wanted to be a carpenter.” Larry Mazza - “I was trying to become a fireman.” It’s a little sad to hear that most of these feared mob guys are not only really nice people but they genuinely didn’t intend to lead the life they were leading. Circumstances can be very detrimental.

Of all the mob guys I've seen over the years this guy is my favorite.

Finally full interview!! I can listen to these mob guys talk all day long!! Bobby's a good guy God bless him

I'm a great grandmother and in my experience, both "teaching" and "supervision/management" are separate disciplines. Mr. Luisi strikes me as highly intelligent and sophisticated. I too started working when I was 11 with a morning paper route. Back then you had to collect, try and get new customers, be incredibly reliable, and incredibly self-disciplined (for around that age). You learn customer service skills, time management skills, possibly some sales. Then Mr. Luisi starts and runs a successful construction operation which requires being "teachable," observant, and a host of other skills and knowledge. He takes all of this with him into the drug business. That's why it appears so easy for him, especially relative to his competition. His story also demonstrates the connection between socioeconomic conditions and criminal activity. Wall Street pooped the bed and Main Street paid the freight, as usual. If the economy hadn't collapsed, this man might have never gotten into any serious criminality. I would also note that his work experience means he knows how to supervise and manage, but only with (relatively speaking) small organizations. This is one of the reasons why he got to a certain level and stayed there. And unlike in the legal business world, potential employees willing to be involved in serious criminal activity means a small pool of potentially quality hires. Most who are involved in criminal activity, especially serious criminality, are people who failed out of school, have a history of child abuse which results in an array of issues (including mental health and substance use issues) that can negatively impact an employee's performance and reliability. Even just possessing good judgment and critical thinking skills, particularly habitually maintained over time. You can see this phenomenon in "Good Fellows," where the main character is coked out, the people he is using such as a girlfriend and the baby sitter are careless, undisciplined, and display poor judgement, reliability, etc. As such, he gets busted. .

bobby you might be the only person ive ever heard who had a safe steady connect that you were comfortable with a didnt push your luck and go bigger, mad props out of 100 guys its hard to find 1 with that discipline and not greedy

Best accent in the mob imho

“They picked up Sammy the Bill for that thing in Arizona” “I hear a few things” this guy has got all the lines 😆

Smart, cunning, intelligent, shrewd and charismatic - "Life is life my friend, if you want be in this life you gotta be able to accept all of this, you know what I mean Vlad, capisce"

This guy is STRAIGHT,COSA NOSTRA....He still avoids certain questions in an intelligent way---

He makes me want to eat at a really nice restaurant and I don't know why.

Anybody that knows anything about the history of organized crime in Boston should love this interview. This guy was talking about real shit and he had the right answers. Good interview, solid old school cat.

Gotta love mafia stories, they're so intriguing.

The way he was talking at 1st I thought he was a guy that avoided violence until he said "I think it was that murder I'm not sure"😳😲

Vlad absolutely one of your best interviews. Well done. Thank you.

Only reason to watch vlad is because of these type of guys

“Oh okay, so...” - watch the “okays,” please VLAD

“Tommy’s gone, and there wasn’t nothing we could do about it”

lol...he knows where every piece of that artwork is..

These interviews are gold vlad💪

"its the life we chose" is the saying for all these Mafia guys. Simple words yet powerful words.

Vlad favorite word during the interview...."OK"

A no bullshit Capo. You can tell this man has seen some serious shit on the street, a lot of pain, heartbreak. He took it all like a man. I just found Mr. Luisi to be extremely tough and resilient.

Love when he said other crews we had some problems “ yeah we took care of that” 😂 code for “ gone off the face of the earth”

I had a friend in Chicago who's father was old school mafia. He told me his dad would never tell him anything about that part of his life because he didn't want him following his example. His health was pretty bad and he didn't go out much. I was always polite, as I would be to anyone's father, and of course would never have considered asking about that. At the same time, when I'd been over a few times, he told me not to bother paying the parking meter anymore. I didn't and never got a ticket even when cars next to mine did. There was also no graffiti in that neighborhood.

Vlad your Mob interviews is were you act TRUE to yourself. Love this interview. THX Vlad

Being from Bensonhurt Brooklyn I still heard of Bobby as a boy. This man is a beast

This guy is a man’s man. Besides the talking to the feds, he’s a stand up guy 🫡🫡

This is one of my favorite interviews… my Grandfather, Nunziato aka “Budzi” was Raymond L.S. Patriarca’s right-hand man… served. 17-18 years in jail for him and kept his mouth shut… old school la cosa nostra… the true code of “omerta”… i have tons of stories of my grandfather… wish he was still here, God bless, he passed away from old age.. keep doing what your doing Vlad!! Great stuff!?

When this guy was running his drug operation, he did not want to expand, he was satisfied with the money made by 4-5 Kg per week - no wonder that after prison, he went right away to occupy a managerial position. Fascinating biography

Dude seems genuinely heartbroken that he was gonna testify on his friends

Dude has a great hairline.

out of all these "former" street guys, Bobby is def my fav He just seems like a down to earth cat who wants to do good and positive things to make up for his yrs in the life. "you understand my friend"

Shew, this guy is official, extreme respect for Mr Bobby Luisi.

such an honest straight up no nonsense guy Bobby Luisi

Yo, I could listen to Bobby Luisi all day old school G, sturdy as fuck, chooses his words carefully

I just saw the Netflix Docuseries on the Art Heist. Great timing with this interview.

when this man said not once did I think about quitting after they killed my family, shit is nuts. "You want to be in this life, you have to accept all of this."

“You have to accept all of this if you choose this life “ facts bobby solid AF accepts the responsibility doesn’t cry like some might

This dude comes across like a genuine guy. The real deal. No exaggeration, just the facts. His comments on James Bulger and his crew are interesting.

Bobby is the real deal he has a Million story’s great job!

He ought to be in the movies...Quintessential mafia guy...great vid

THIS WAS A GOOD INTERVIEW YOU KNOW... I ENJOYED IT YOU KNOW..GREAT JOB YOU KNOW...

One of the best guys Vlad ever interviewed 👍

Standing ovation for that Italian American accent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This guy is a little too old school for Vlad's "ok" bullsh!t lol

Such a straight up, likable guy. I can’t reconcile it in my mind.

Vlad- so, they never found the artwork? Bobby- no. never found it... looks at the camera smiling! 😂😂😂 he knows!

This man speaks the truth, like when he said that Joey was always the boss. You don't hear too many people say that

I don't even watch Vlad's interviews with rappers anymore, only the Mafia interviews

This guy has massive charisma. If he hadn't chose "the life" he probably could have been a great politician. I didn't get bored once listening to him, could listen to him talk for hours.

Out of all the mob interviews this guy is the best he's the real deal made guy

Man has a very strong presence. Love the voice.

Yo vlad Keep these interviews coming 👍🏻

He chooses his words and what he shares very very carefully, but isn’t awkward about it.

drink every time Vlad says "OK"

How do you wrap your head around doing twenty years, "It was a little tough."

“You reap what you sow, my friend.”

These Mafia guys have the best stories

I’m recovering my life too. Great inspiration for me. Listened to this interview twice,

These guys can remember so much from 30 years ago, I can’t remember what I ate yesterday

Vlad: "In 1983 Patriarcka was charged with the murder of Raymond Corcio?" Bobby: "That may be the name, I don't recall." Vlad: "And also for the murder or Robert Candos?" Bobby: "Ya, ok" Gangster.

This is a great interview It’s so true what he said that when you live in that type of life you got to expect bad bad things to happen if you don’t you will struggle hard way to live good he’s turned it around

"Ya know" -Bobby Luisi

I have never heard a man use the word "OK" in so many different ways.

I'm from Boston and Bobby's crew was very well known. Even being in the North end he was not answering to anyone including leadership. Bobby had s ruthless crew, that's a fact.

“That’s the life we chose to be in, my friend… life is life, my friend” This guy got the voice fo real 😆

once again...Great interview Vlad

Bobby has a real positive attitude 😊

Thanks Vlad, I like listening to Bobby Luisi and I like watching his show. I think he is a great example of the reality that people can change for the better, it just has to come from the heart. Have a happy new year all. Peace.

This is man knows himself, very wise man

If only they're more Mobsters like him the Mob would be in better shape than it is today..

He's a real real one 🙏

This guy is a real og

I met bobby few months ago. I was eating at Wendys and this old lady fell , he picked her up, and helped her back to her feet. He then bought everyone at the restaurant a frosty. He was such a sweet man and this is what America is all about

Mr. Luisi here, is a real one

I went to school with his daughter Danielle. In Medford. Great family. ❤️

Amazing story, had me gripped. Lovely fella too👍

I’m black and Italian my grandpa had ties to the mafia . He lives in Italy now miss him so much

Most honest mafioso I ever heard.

This was a good one

Bobby in my eyes definitely is NOT a rat. He never put anyone away. I don’t agree with him telling them things but I don’t blame him. Everyone of his “friends” told on him, but he never took the stand

Great interview. To answer your question from early on, The Office is referring specifically to Patriarca's headquarters in Providence, RI. References to it as the name of the family are a misnomer. It was used when referring to contacting Patriarca or the guys in New England. They would "call The Office".

Mr.Luisi is such a old school cool dude

" they stuck me in Tennessee where there are no Italians..lol".. Witness Protection.

4-5 Bricks a week is a lot of Weight! Vlad gotta stop thinking that unless you sell hundreds of Bricks that you’re not getting money

Thank you. There’s plenty of ppl that made millions and never had to drop a body. Greed is what brings violence. Taking 3/4 of the pie and leaving 1/4 for your crew & streets to split. That’s what brings violence.

This guy is the real deal.

Good interview 👍
