Interview just dropped on YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AB0PHFoaZU

Thank you

I havent watched it yet and dont know if I will because I suspect it will mainly be Science-Fiction tales......

Why did nobody else know him other then a two bit guy !

Why does his name not come up in all the rats if he was the biggest with Carlo !

He got mental issues.

Wow he is really shot out ...

He is saying shit that he herd in the early thirties.... is this guy 110 years old ....because if he was there he has to be .

He tells a story that him a Nicky went to jr high together there is 7-8 years between him and nick ...Nick would of been 22 And Ralph was a young teen ! Nick was with Skinny Razor years and years and years before Ralph was 18 -19 he is lost .

I havent watched this either. Just decided to share. I watched the intro and was sorta turned off TBH. Idk why he chose to have this guy on his show. Esp after everyone hes been having on. This is a downgrade .

Well its the first time i had to shut one of these off ... cant watch its just to far gone .

As soon as he says the first time he met Gambino it was a meeting for the casino in AC well Gambino was dead then !!!! 1976 he is crazy

Very difficult to watch or even just listen to. Cringe-inducing

Actually very comical...tall tales told ..I wouldn't mind sitting next 2 him on a barstool 4 entertainment only.

Yes it was, very comical.

This was just plain sad. From the emphasis in his responses I believe *he* really believes the bull shit he is spouting off. He's been lying for so long he's convinced himself in his age and senility.

They should refer to this condition as "Kuklinski Syndrome" other known sufferers are Frank Sheeran and in the most advanced case ever recorded, Tom Papania.

I watched this video this man is crazy as hell

This should be a fun watch from all the comments haha.

This is a genuine question, and I mean no disrespect, but why is this guy's story "science fiction tales" but not every other informant's story?

I finally attempted to watch it, fast forwarded and skipped through most of it but did anyone catch at the end that he claims that Stevie Mazzone wears a wig?!?!? WTF

Correct..the man is wacked..

I didn’t make in two mins before I shut it off. The story he tells about him, Don Carlo and Bruno from intro gets me everytime, like they had a secret brotherhood together. Him Sheeran Alite and Hill should have done a collaboration on history of LCN in America. They are responsible for 90% of hits committed in last 80 years and every boss either loved them or were punks and nothing without these guys. Wonder what theyd classify it as Historical-Fiction or Comedy?

I suppose the big difference would be in what he talks about and how he talks about it. Everything he says pretty much is about how great he is, how feared he was, how much the old timers respected him and how hated everyone else was. And he keeps adding new claims. He's not alone in these regards, you see people like Michael Franzese or Frank Culotta do the same, but Natale takes it to the next degree. The perfect example of that is when he flips in 1999 he tells the police that Joey Merlino made him in 1994 and immediately promoted him to boss. Now that's incredibly rare but, ultimately, believable. Philadelphia only had a handful of active members on the street at that point so just in the process of rebuilding the hierarchy it will require making guys so you can promote them to high-ranking positions - similar thing happened with the DeCavalcantes in the early-2000s. But now, years after all the trials are over, when he's no longer reliant on sticking to what he told the feds back then, he makes up some story about how he was made at a private ceremony back in the day attended only by Carlo Gambino and Angelo Bruno and that no-one else knew about it. He even says in this interview that he 'forgot' to tell Merlino about it, which was why he put him through the ceremony. If you're going to make somebody but not introduce him as made to anyone else in the family then what's the point of making him?

Yea like this guy would forget to tell people Carlo and Angelo made him. Anyone who listens to him for five minutes would know by the way he makes himself out he would have told any who would have listened that happened. I’d bet big money he bragged to Joey when they were locked up about all kinds of stuff and Joey saw he made friends with some NY guys, Joey checks in with his pops and finds out most of its bullshit but that he was associated but nowhere as big as he made himself out to be Joey or Chuckie came up with idea of him being at the top to catch the heat from LE and getting NY on board.

I think he meant he got plugs. Thats not a wig.

With all the negative responses about the interview;

No thank you; Will not watch.

That was wild!

The underboss is the GamBruno family that killed more then cancer!

Just watched it.

First of all, as a non native english speaker, it was sometimes hard to understand him because of his diction issue. So i didn't get everything he said.

Regarding the content of his itw, i thought they talked too much about his time with Bruno and the union. He kind of says what he wants and no one can really corroborate it so i assume a lot of it is bullshit, starting with that ridiculous private induction ceremony.

I wish they had spent more time on the time when he was the boss in Philly.

It would be great if Valutainment would itw a couple of mob guys at the same time, like Gravano/Leonetti, or Franzese/Pistone. I don't think it would be too much an issue security wise and it would be interesting to have them talk about the people they both knew or the things they did together.

That guy lost some credibility after that .

The guy that was doing the interview was looking at him like you are shot the fuck out !

The producers had a hell of a time did you all notice how many takes / cuts there was ?

I was laughin all the way,, this old man reminds me of Viggo Mortesen In A History Of Violence where his character really belives that hes nice guy vice a versa,,,John Veasy should be next

That was aweful. They shouldn't of aired that. Does anyone know if he has a son in his late 30s maybe early 40s? I remember being introduced to someone and was told it was his son.

He mentions Gotti was refused a bet because the bookie didn’t want his action and was whacked for it. Who was this bookie?

What’s also funny is he talks about things like ‘Did u know Salvie killed the guys that killed his dad’ like
it was some kind of secret.

What’s interesting though, he confirmed what many on here have mentioned. That Leonetti wanted Salvie dead

I don't know about a son.. but I worked w/ a chef @ a prominent Italian restaurant (Panorama) here in Philly that was dating his daughter..that was back in 1998..& I did meet her & she seemed to envision herself as entitled.

I think honestly the title of this thread/video is misleading, because the interview was so bad that it was of no value, and it was too sad to be of any 'tainment.

Don's do interviews with their teeth !!

When Natale flipped contracts were put out on his family. In December 1999 at a bail hearing the prosecution alleged that Merlino had approved hits on Ralph Natale, Ronald Previte and their families. In March 2001 the FBI sent a memo to local police saying that Mike Lancellotti, Joseph Curro and Michael Virgilio were involved in plots to murder Natale's son Frank (a teacher and football coach) and his daughter Vanessa (a clerk). Obviously nothing came of the plots.
