The Irish, Italians, and Mexicans are very similar. -Super Catholics (grandmas go to church 3+ times a week) - Big families - Always were fighting each other and others - Discriminated by Americans when we first immigrated here - Big into organized crime - Poor - great people that'll have your back for life Viva la Mexico, Slainte, and Bada Bing

Seen the title & just came to comment “Their ain’t no fucken Italians in East LA” 😂

As a Sicilian who may or may not have family connections, let me comment by saying - nothing.

Spain and Italy are practically neighbors, and the Languages are 82% Similar it says.

🇺🇸🇲🇽In all my Years I met 1 Italian & Called him a Wood when I first met him ; He corrected me & said “ I’m not a Wood !; I’m Italian .” 😳✌️😂

The best, most loyal, and closest friends I have are Italian and Sicilian! Just something in their DNA. Hard working, loyal, and thee most respectful and reliable!! 🇮🇹

Finally a video about my people/culture....awesome Grazie❤❤❤

I was in S.C.C.level3 Angelo was my neighbor he was very smart spoke 7 languages passed the California bar to become a lawyer he was down since 1980 5 murders, told on bye Jimmy the weasel, True Angelo conducted himself like a Sureno,

Admit that the question had crossed my mind but never asked. Great video.

Fun fact: Spain and Italy were the Roman empire at one point. The wealthiest mafiosos of all time have Spanish an Italian last names

Check in from CHI-TOWN. I just came home from U.S.P Hazelton. I was in the Paisa car. My pops is Mexican and my mom is Irish. I don't speak Spanish but 1 thing I learned is Mexicans are different all over the U.S and have different cultures but are still 1. Chicago Mexicans are different from Texas Mexicans and different from Cali Mexicans but still one.

I’ve done time with a couple Italians but they weren’t mob related just cats from the bay and they rolled with the northern raza and both of them looked like raza you never would of known unless they told you . One spoke fluent Spanish and Italian . Good gente

So teue Dubs , we tend to conect more w you guys than others . We share lots of values , those of the family and friends . Respect for your beautiful work and thank you 🙏

"Italianoh"😂😂😂

Great topic. I been wondering the same thing. Great timing!

Great video Dubs keep up the good work it’s rare to hear anything about Italians in Ca so it was cool to hear something new.

Jimmy, the weasel Was the Italians name I believe you are talking about. I read his book and he was just one of those mafiosos that could not get a break. Every time he got close to owning a casino or having a big piece of something, the feds usually caught up with him or something else derailed his plans. He had a real hard luck story as a gangster But I do remember him talking about a certain organization in San Quentin that he definitely was learning from while also trying to school them on how to run things on the outside. Great book.

This was a great story, different and great! Thx dubs

Shoutout from Comptone💪🏽

Hey Dubs, you said to give you ideas in the comments, well here's one. I see a lot of channels talk about prison experiences but I dont believe I've ever seen one that dedicates an episode or a video to dive deep into the basics of prison when you first get locked up. The booking process, the choosing your clothes process, the finding your cell/unit process, the bending over and coughing process, all that. For people that never been to prison, I think thats something no one has talked about. What to expect not so much from a politics stand point but from a "brand new never been to prison its my first time" perspective and what to expect

Great video Dubs. Respect. D

Like the intro Dubs keep up the hard work

Great video Dubs. Always wondered about the mafioso homies in SoCal prisons

GREAT TOPIC LET'S GET IT 💯

Love that intro song.. beats 🔥 and rap gos hella hard homie...you got a video whole song

Dubs thanks for bringin back the intro homie!

Great, informative bideo!!! Thank u DUBS!!!!👍🙏👊😎

Yo dudes I listen to your message all the way from Boston

Dubs, I got out of FCI Pollock in 2022. From what I saw, the Italian Fellas in there kept the same vibe as you described in the State. None of them were concerned about the Yard. They just wanted like 5 extra accounts to use for Canteen. And extra phone minutes. 😂 I actually saw Peter Gotti in Elkton but I didn’t interact with him

I will always jam out to the Intro music when Dubs includes it.

I've always thought that if these gangs and organizations started businesses or community centers and put the effort into that, they'd be some of the most successful projects ever. I don't know or whatever, but I think they would. Just wish everyone the best. This is my absolute favorite channel. Respect from Florida. 💪💯👊

Glad to hear the intro back. Keep it. Funny about the nickname thing. Got the nickname propane cause got little swoll and would get drunk and explode in my drinking days. Be like you explode like propane and it just stuck

The more I watch your videos and hear you rap/sing in the open, I think you should put together some songs and all of us would most definitely enjoy it. And it might attract more subs, more views and likes. Respect 100% Big Dawg👊

Great video dubs Saludos G

So perfectly said❤❤

I'm always interested in Cosa Nostra , got to respect their thing. Great Video!

🤜🏽🤛🏽 Supporting

Michael Franzese has a huge UKposts platform for the Mob genre and he lives in California. Dubs, he’s a good dude. You should holler at him. He’s a born again Christian.

@dubs is there an Asian car/ other car that was in pelican bay that you would characterize as a legend or group of legends? Maybe if there was would you mind speaking on what you know? Please and great videos!

Very good content as always

I knew this was going to be dope just on the way he said "New Video"

I have one Italian friend, I moved out of California and we both did time over here on the Midwest side and we stayed in contact after our stretch. I nicknamed him Gambino.

Hey big dubs just a suggestion , maybe talk about your first day in YA and how you adjusted and also how it was doing your stretch in the big house from adjusting to learning the laws of the land and navigating through it all and making it out free. Did you feel you served every single year or did at some point time go quicker from being programmed to it all? Thanks and much love.

Enjoyed this episode on the Italians, interesting on how they assimilated in the CDC. Especially with the Southerns, there ability to align themselves in this environment 🙏

I just wanna hear whatever you got to say brother. Can’t really offer any topic our the top of my head I’m happy with whatever you come up with but in the future I might drop few ideas. Great video Dubs

That intro hard my boy.

DUBESS WHERE CAN I FIND YOUR INTRO SONG CARNAL IT GOES HARD I NEED THAT PARO !

Dubs would you ever do a video with boxer from paradigm media?

What’s up Dubs! Can you speak on what’s the difference from a Sureno, Southsider, and Camarada? Are Residence put aside or altogether behind them walls.

Saludos @Dubs !

Great video. Omerta❤

I like this story it was cool to hear something a little different to challenge the way we see others

Is this a new intro on Dubs? I like the growth man, also it looks like youve applied some kind of filter, maybe just a different camera, but show us ya natural face man, you look babyface or something its buggin me out 😂, but like i normally say, its a good day when dubs drops, so its almost always a good day

New camara ? 🎉

Great video! Have you ever done time with any Border Brothers??

I don't know if you watch BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship). However. If you do (and if you'd be willing), will you please do a fight breakdown of Eddie Alverez versus Mike Perry? Thank you for considering this.

That an interesting story, as always , thanks for sharing. Did you have interactions behind the ealls with Arabs or Muslims from other countries the U. S. , if so any memorable experiences?

Do you have a link for the full song from your intro?

What do you know about the green light on the skins and wood in around 2012-2013 I was in the county at the time and it was all bad for them.

loved this one

Hey I forgot to ask do you sing or rap that song the intro to your show?

Dope Intro

Did u ever meet any ogs that had high martial skills from the 50s 60s pr 70s? Like kung fu or karate or military. Thanks dubs have a blessed day

Hey Dubs, u got any stories of vatos that didnt adjust well going from Fed politics to State?

What's up Dubs! Khairy!! Here!!

New VEDDDEYYYOOO!! 💪

Good morning topic.

Did you ever have any interaction with KUMI / 415 ? If so could you do a video about it.!.?

What up dubes. I was one of them that asked about this

Part 2 homie

Thanks for not talking about super norteno that was driving me crazy

What are your thoughts on Joey Merlino having a podcast

Great video. So who did they run with? You said they said they were with you, but if they didn't officially run with you who. Woods? Were they considers Others?

My Great Grandfather came here directly from Sicily, I also have no further Comment on this Topic.

good video, something else I didn't know..

How how big of a difference is a federal prison to California state prison?

Dubs, I'm curious, did those three italians put in work for the southerners like everyone else or did they get a pass on that too?

Your camera is good ese you look 20 years younger homes put me on which one is it?

Whats crazy is your rhyming skills, sounds like you so I think that intro rap is you. It is better than anything I have heard from most Chicano Rappers. Especially lefty or any of them… has a real G flow and on point inflection pf voice

To firme where can we hear the rest of that into

What's cracking dubs!

Off topic a bit: Back in 2015’ I went to Vegas (Caesars palace) bar/restaurant to be exact. I was eating at the bar then I went to get a drink refill near the edge of the bar before I left the bar but before I got there I realized there was three older peeps (50/60 yr olds) talking, one man sitting down by edge of bar and a woman in a badass Mink trench coat like Frank Lucas coat at the boxing ring and I’m guessing her body guard behind her and I could tell he was her body guard based on movement, position stance,and aerial detail. So I walked over and was waiting for bartender to fill my glass but was taking forever. Well this is when I started hearing the Convo from the guy sitting down and at one point tried recording it but wasn’t easy back then with a cheap android phone. At first I didn’t recognize they were the Chicago Mafia/Mob or associated with them until I heard more of the Convo. Convo: ~~> More-less the man sitting down was telling the Woman in the Mink he was connected to her Father back in the days(deceased already) in Chicago and how he was a great man and a powerful man in the Organization. Pretty much the whole Convo was about Chicago and how the Government is still messing with them. If you do your research and follow the movie Casino it’s Chicago(and Kansas City) who was skimming them and put a hit squad out there to protect certain individuals running the Casinos but shit hit the fan at the end.

Loved it

Love watching your show. Can you speak on a normal guy doing time. Never ran with the streets?

The Texas syndicate Holmes.. heard they started in Cali, u ever see them or interact?

What do you think about Southern Raza and rollin 60s going at it with each other?

Lanza fam was the Bay

whats the beat from the intro?

I remember dresssing like that, your intro. I was a young hog, trying to be gangster. 😎💪🏻. Its good to see we grew up to do better things.

Apparently there is more than one clan as well Cosa Nostra Ndragheta and Camorra

And if not mistaken the first legends got certain symbolism from Italian legends, correct me if I’m wrong

Hell yeah great story.

Would like to hear your opinions on NLR, PENI and the woods in general… thank you sir

Ay what’s crackin dubs can u make a video how do mongols do time in the cdc.

Damn Dubs you were skinny af. Hahahahaha You look so different but then again you didn’t have all of the facial hair. I’m glad you’re doing well and spreading your word.

I recently heard there is alot of russian mob activity in some parts of California. I wouldnt ask you to speak on their business. But i never heard any Cali Prison channels speak on them. Do they have a presence in state prisons? Who do they role with? Any funny stories?

Bang up story,damm bro,that camera is clean as fuck,you look like you in a movie 😂

You never wrapped up what happened to the co Zapp?

Does that mean that anybody from Southern California can choose to run homie? I know that different races from chicano varrios can, but can other races from outside those areas do the same?

Some Italians from the mob had spots in l.a San Jose n I think San Francisco look it up it a trip
