Episode description as stored
Fat Joe and Jadakiss sit down with South Philadelphia legend Joey "Skinny Joe" Merlino for a wide-ranging conversation about loyalty, the streets, and life after the game. Merlino breaks down his multiple RICO cases and the 11 cooperators who testified against him, tells Joe and Jada why anyone still talking publicly is almost certainly a rat, and explains how confidential informants operate as a full-time career. The guys chop it up about Sammy the Bull's second life, the difference between real and fake gangsters in the podcast era, and the wild realities of federal prison. Plus, Merlino talks about franchising his beloved Philadelphia cheesesteak brand all over the country. Joe and Jada is now STREAMING ON NETFLIX !
