What Was The Mob Really Like? | Michael Franzese on The Pat McAfee Show 2.0 

I love how cold Michael is. He literally doesn’t speak on anyone or anything who isn’t already dead and gone. Guy keeps the straightest face and is probably one of the best listeners/speaker there is. Definition of a gangster right here.

If the mob is smart they'll leave him alone as he's the best possible "Oh those guys don't seem so bad" spokesperson you could find.

Pat, your show is by far,to me, the most interesting and fun to watch. You have great stories, and great guest with very intriguing stories. Always keeps me watching

Pat mcafee slowly becoming the next joe Rogan

He doesn’t look 70. God damn.

This is nuts. I’ve been on a mafia kick lately and watching literally every interview with Michael. I also diligently listen to Pat. I was scrolling and clicked bc I saw Michael then saw Pat in the bottom corner and thought my phone was glitching. Two guys I can listen to talk for hours!

This is the only podcast that has ever had my undivided attention. Incredible stories, and I love the questions asked by pat and the gang!

This was most interesting interview I’ve ever watched

“There was a guy called ‘Benny Eggs’. We called him that because he liked eggs.” Absolute gold

He’s so well spoken and articulate. It’s no wonder he succeeded on many endeavors of his life. It takes a lot to be successful, but communicating effectively plays a huge part!

Michael Franzese is the most likable, charming, charismatic memory of the mob. He's a smart man and fantastic interview.

My dad was in the mob too. He told me he was in something called the Glory Hole Mafia. He spent a lot of time in NJ rest stops for some reason.

Ive heard about Mr. Franzese’s story and its an amazing story. Hes one of a few people to make it out on his own terms.

This interview was amazing. I could hear this dude talk for hours.

I like Pats style of interviews relaxed friendly atmosphere like being with a real friend

He survived because he was always a step ahead smarter than most. Interesting man to say the least, I wonder if he still preaches with the new found popularity? I hope so, the world needs it. Especially coming from him.

I’ve listen to 4 of this guys interviews and he says the same things word for word. You know he’s not lying about anything.

The Pat McAfee Show - "come for the sports talk and takes stay for 50 min long Mob Boss interview!!" This show is my shit keep up the work Pat and the crew changing lives out here

Cant stop watching Michaels interviews. So interesting

25:00 his dad sadly past away a few days ago on the 25th of febuary; RIP *John "sonny" Franzese.

This guy is like the real Michael Corleone... college kid who joins the life to help his dad.

This interview made me so happy. Electric energy from everyone, but Mike easily stole the show. I can’t wait to hear many more of his awesome stories!

Poor Michael has to repeat the same stories in every interview.

Any show that Michael Franzese has given an interview on is always that shows highest rated and most viewed.

"Its Gas" Today everyone would think he is talking about drugs 😂

28:56 I’m sure he’s got hundreds of these types of stories could listen to em all day

I've read his books, watched his interviews, he's one of the smartest Mob guys ever, he bought his way out pretty much.

Couldn’t help but think of my grandpa when he said a lot of Italians in Pittsburgh. He was a short, Italian, lets say connected man. Loved vicariously, hung out and flirted with waitresses at bettis’ bar, him and Michael are weirdly similar, makes me remember him in a way

That had to be one of the greatest interviews I've ever seen online on any topic. Thank you so much for uploading/sharing this gem.

Trying to watch this secretly at work like *Turn volume up to hear Michael talking, Turn volume down for Pat and crew laughing loudly in to mic's, turn volume back up*.....its a dangerous game that eventually got me caught lol

This is one of the better Michael Franzese interviews. He was so relaxed and felt so comfortable with Pat and the crew. Just amazing.

They should make a videogame where u r in the 80s in the mafia working your way up in brooklyn

"I doubt they're ever gonna find his body, I can tell ya that 😏😏😏🙄🙄😌"

Pat and the boys are the best show on the tube, I think they should team up "just for one show or more" with the pivot team

This is awesome, it’s incredible how he was able to turn his life around after prison and work to stop younger people from going down this road

He’s about to be a millionaire if he’s not already because Netflix should be offering him a show soon.

Is this the best interview in the history of the internet?

50 minutes and no adds till the end. Great job pat!

I could listen to this duo all day

"We've narrowed it down to Johnny Tightlips or Frankie the Squeeler"

Better than the vlad tv interviews

Probably the best interview I've ever watched. I usually have to watch interviews in segments because it's so rinse, wash, repeat but this was awesome

the "laughing" from the channel crew tells me a lot , hahahahaha franzese is a cool guy

One of the greatest interviews I’ve ever seen if not the greatest.

This is prolly the first time Franzese has been interviewed by a bro in a tank top

He really coulda been the Boss of the Colombo Family. He had enough old school thinking within him from his father Sonny Fraseze that he woulda stayed under the radar, stay low key, but he also was an earner, he was very intelligent, and apparently, was pretty well liked. Just my two cents...

"you gotta kill somebody" he says that so casually lol

What a fabulous interview. Pat is turning into one of the best talk show hosts because he's just an easy guy to open up to and talk to. All of these people just spill their guts to him!!

Michael "I'll tell ya dis" Franzese :-)

Michael I have a two-time felon from Chicago and now live in a suburbs I've been going to church and I love what you are doing you're making me Misty I love you brother keep up the good work

Michael cleaning up on the interviews since the Irish man came out. Who's next? Joe Rogan?

I love listening to Michael talk. Hes so smart and wise.

Someone needs to make a movie about this guy

Most interesting interview yet pat!! Great job!!

It was like being in the C gap

I’ve been a fan of both these guys, never knew this interview happened 😲

If you guys don't know they portrayed him in Goodfellas

These interviews are gold!

I like those guys laughing 😂

Dude is as honest and genuine as he can be!

Can u at least least write a deathbed confession on what happened to hoffa? So in like 20-30 years we’ll know

pat how do u get this guy on ur show lmao

Dude, this interview is freakin amazing!

This man is a legend i don’t know why i can literally watch him again n again. His voice and interviews are remarkable

I would really like to see a movie about his life and the people he know in the mob

Best mob interview ever . Pat is amazing.

Joe Rogan needs to get this guy on his show

In true Italian fashion, you attempt to hang up and the convo carries on 😂

He really should tell his version of the Hoffa story when everyone involved is deceased.

One of the most entertaining interviews I’ve seen. I absolutely love this show my dude. I literally listen to nothing except the show. I forgot what music was.

Very interesting to hear a real first hand perspective, and he's right he's really out and no worries because everyone from his time is gone he outlasted them all. Great interview

These fellas really brought out Mike's spirit here. All the wannabes like Vlad and PBD insert so much of their own BS into these interviews, the segments appear forced and give off an awkwardness that is not even detectable here. Great Job Pat and I hope Mr. Franzese sticks to shows that aren't run by nor cater to a bunch of overgrown fantasy gangster fan boys.

Pat MacAfee's meteoric rise continues! This man is articulate, tells a great story, has interesting opinions, and most importantly.... does an amusing impersonation of Jerry Jones.

Best show right now on RU-vid by far! Excellent job Pat. Very authentic. Very raw. Very interesting topics. I love it!

This guy is a legend among Italians

Way to hold it down Pat, nice job keeping it all rolling long with a fascinating guest.

Michael “They’ll never find Hoffa’s body” Franzese

Truly one of the most badass videos on the internet. Franzese created the word gangster

He sounds like a guy I know from back home, in Queens. LOL!

Best interview ever...what a guest and host

This is a great episode! Pat has really made himself into something special! What an odd and refreshing rise he has had. Congrats! Same goes for Micheal as well.

Damn.. one of the best interviews ive heard in a while...

_Julie (a 4th grade student): Mr. Franzese, did fail the math test last week? I have a really bad feeling!_ _Mr. Franzese (the teacher): I mean, look..._ _Julie:_ 😭 _Mr. Franzese: ... not everyone's meant to grow up and be a rocket scientist... we need good nurses, doctors, school teachers, librarians, accountants, lunch ladies, receptionists, the guy down at the factory who runs the assembly line to help build cars, union workers, pilots who fly private planes, black jack dealers, bookies, the guys down at the casino who do valet parking, strippers to gather dirt on shady politicians, gas station attendants, truck drivers to transport gasoline to the gas stations, you know... stuff like that._ _Julie:_ 😟

McAfee is an amazing interviewer.

Am I the only one who wishes i was an Italian American in the 70s.

My favorite interview with him so far. I am so glad I bought his book

Saw this guy live. Amazing guy powerful story

I watch a lot of mafia documentaries. Fascinating stuff. Philly Mob is my favorite.

First off, Great interview Pat..I listened to you when you did radio with Bob and Tom.. And I knew right there you had a job in Radio/interviewing what have you..And Micheal, you my friend are nothing but a seriously down to earth guy..That has taken a negative and flipped to a positive,right on man..But i'll say this now the NFL is fixed and all leaning towards Vegas,especially since it''s going legal; lol i mean really , wtf.. Won't be long until there caught

I’m an ex inmate and once I found Michael franzese and started listening to his words and guidance I’m on the right path I owe my freedom to Michael franzese

Oh snap. I dig his last name.

Makes you realize what the government pulls in with gas taxes. They had a limited number of gas stations. The government had the massive amount of the rest.

This dude is realer than all Scorsese films combined.

"I doubt they're ever gonna find his body.......i can tell you that." He knows 🤣🤣

I can imagine how Michael feels he has too tell people about his life every dam day every interview

I like how pat said his nick name when introducing him and he later says how he doesn’t like it lol

His life could be one of those mafia movies which are “based on true stories” right?

“I doubt they’re ever gonna find his body” is one of the coldest lines I’ve ever heard.

Pat called him the yuppie don lol he hates that nickname

Awesome interview! I’ve seen a bunch of Franzese interviews and never seen him open up and tell some of those stories! Epic bro...
