#40: Interview with Xavier Eboli, Son of Thomas "Tommy Ryan" Eboli

We’re diving deep into the life and legacy of one of the most notorious figures in the history of the Genovese Crime Family—Thomas “Tommy Ryan” Eboli. And who better to tell that story than his own son, Xavier Eboli? Xavier Eboli, a Marine Corps veteran and author of⁠ "The Boss in the Shadows: The Life and Death of Thomas ‘Tommy Ryan’ Eboli⁠", joins me for an incredible two-hour conversation. Buy Xavier's book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Boss-Shadows-D... Together, we explore what it was like growing up as the son of a powerful mob boss, tracing his father’s journey from a young boxer and as a boxing manager to a feared underworld leader whose career ultimately ended in a hail of bullets in 1972. We’ll also discuss Xavier’s own life—his time in the Marines, his evolving relationship with his father, and the lasting impact of his father’s murder. Along the way, we touch on key figures like Vito Genovese, Charles “Lucky” Luciano, Vincent ‘The Chin’ Gigante, Philip ‘Benny Squint’ Lombardo, and even Hollywood connections to Al Pacino and Al Lettieri. So grab a drink, settle in, and get ready for an intimate, firsthand look at the life and death of one of the mob’s most infamous figures.
