We're driving on the highway. I'm in a silver Audi, a two-door CLK pulls up next to us.

Lights up the car, eight shots, puts right into the car at us. What ends up happening is I go to Allen now. The Gambino guys that I think I'm going to be with because I'm in the middle. I'm not sure who I'm going to go with. I says, I'm killing this kid. He's dead. Oh, no, no, no, no, we're not going to do that as far as a wise guy with the Gambino's. We don't know if it's him.

They won't take my back. I went to the wise guy with the Gambinos. We don't know if it's him.

They won't take my back.

I went to the bananas, Ronnie G in them.

He says, do what you got to do. We got your back completely. He goes, whatever you got to do, you get him. That ultimately determined, all right, these are the guys going to take my back. What's up, everybody? Today's guest is Gene Borrello.

He made his bones in Brooklyn in the mid-2000s with the Banana family.

He's one of these new generations. Today's guest is Gene Borrello. He made his bones in Brooklyn in the mid-2000s with the Banana family.

He's one of these new generation mob guys.

Gene's a gangster.

He was one of those knock-around street mafia guys.

He was one of the most feared and respected dudes from the Bonanos during his era in Ozone Park at Howard Beach, Queens.

This guy's got stories for days.

He did real time on Rikers in the feds. He eventually flipped and started a podcast with John A-Light. He's telling all the crazy mafia inside stories. We wanted to talk to a modern

mafia type on this show and nobody is better at it than Gene.

We do some bonus content as well.

You got to hear it.

Go over to the Patreon.com slash the Connect show and go buy his book.

Without further ado, I give you Gene Borrello right here on The Connect with Johnny Mitchell.

I put 30 shots into his house.

I came back two weeks later.

I did it again.
