So far this is probably the best interview with Franzese
Thank you American Zombie. The second half is more revealing in my opinion. It’s 45 minutes and i will get it out next week.
James. Fantastic. You have a gift of trust and comfort ability.great job.
Wow, thank you!
Awesome interview! Great questions and a real 2 way conversation with Michael, great question on the Loan Shark in NYC with Resource Lending Lease/Loan case!
Congrats, James! 🙂
Thank you Brew City. Appreciate your kind words
James..it's a great credit to your integrity, demeanor and reputation that you landed Michael on the show.
Thank you Matt
Agreed mad dog Sweeny.
Well done, James. Thank you for the interview. Very well done!
Thank you for sharing, that was a great interview, part 1 and 2. Out of all the interviews of Michael Franzese, this was the best one. Keep up the great work

James knows what to ask! Vlad can learn a thing or two from James about the technique of interview! This is the best Michael interview so far!
R.i.p. Sonny. A real man. Miss you.
Yes he was. Thanks for chiming in
Hey man he was a man's man ..man
Excellent. Keep up the great work James. I hope your channel keeps growing!!
Great interview, hard to hear new stuff about Michael but you asked the right questions and delivered it.
Superb interview James, Looking forward to part 2
Great interview James you asked Michael. A lot of really good questions.
Thank you Mickey. Part 2 i think will be more revealing. Lots of stuff that we got into
James, great interview. Best one yet.
Great start James. Heard a lot of these questions before, but you managed to ask in a way that, we got different answers to a lot of what you asked. Proud of you bro.
Thank you and the second part will be more revealing
Great interview James Proctor
Great stuff James!!!! The future is looking bright my friend!!!
James great interview. I just subscribed
Great interview! Love how you didn't beat around the bush and went straight into it. Keep up the good work.
Thank You
Referencing an Aussie 2015 interview off the jump - going deep right outa the gate!
Thank you for asking real questions
Atomic i appreciate it and i think the second half actually will have more revealing questions and answers
Great interview James!
This is the most thorough explanation I've heard
Matt I defintely try and if you have any other questions, I am always here
Great work James!👍🏻
Brilliant interview James,excellent work 👏
Great interview!!!!!
James, you really asked great questions and the way you do. It is awesome.
Thank you Mike. Means a lot to me
Very good Interview James your style of interview is very well executed great work Ron Cnoevil69
Well done getting M. Franzese on the show. Should be interesting. I hope you asked some questions others haven't asked yet and we can get something new we haven't heard yet. It just starts being difficult though after these years and I think he's already told pretty much everything he can and will regarding the mob at least, but still always interesting to watch his interviews nonetheless.
Many that has not been asked
Very true it’s tough but i dug deep and you will hear Michael respond he hadn’t ever said this a few times.
@@jameseproctorpmp You always do a good job. I'm sure it's a good interview.
@@-Mohogthank you for your kind words and support
James everyday I'm constantly impressed by the direction your channel is going. You've won me over and I subscribed
This interview has been the best one with Michael Franzese so much more in depth than the others I’ve seen.
Doesn’t remember if he had a 302😂😂😂😂
He had a 302.
@@jameseproctorpmp he certainly did but he did say “probably i can’t remember” Selective memory 🐀 But good interview James you’ve taken the channel forward 👍🏻
Sure does just like jr
That means yes
@@ShenmueOutrunexactly. But definitely remembers he was made over a decade before that 302
Great Job James proctor 🔥🔥🔥
Maureen thank you. Your words mean a lot to me
great interview very respectful between both of u... classy
Thank you very much. Very important to keep things classy as there is no need for rudeness etc. I appreciate your comments
Great interview James
Marcus thank you for your kind words
This might have been the best interview of Michael I've ever seen
Thank you my friend. Means a lot
Gotta hand it to James Proctor…great interview
Thank you for your kind words
Great interview. Best with Michael I’ve seen
Thank you. chris
GREAT INTERVIEW JAMES!!!
Excellent Interview with Michael 👍
Thank you so much Kevin. Means a lot to me your words.
The best Michael Franzese interview I've seen In a long time. I'm looking forward to the next
Joseph, your kind words mean a lot to me. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent job James and mike..🎉
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the first part
I'm really impressed by this interview. Great questions from Mr.Proctor and fantastic answers from Mr.Franzese.
Thank you for your kind words
Great first half of interview James. Thanks for asking Mike a lot of answers we are all wanting to know. I realize this interview is over, but I think a big mistake Michael Franzese makes is he gives opinions on mob stuff instead of the things unmade people would not be privileged to know. Also would like to hear more about other guys like Jimmy A or Joe Joe B Tom Debella. Keep the great interviews coming.
Phillip thank you so much. Great comments. The second half has several more questions on various topics not discussed before
Great interview James,cool stuff.I was wondering why you didn't talk to him about the author from Sonny's book that you interviewed a while back..Maybe Mike told you not to mention that?
That’s in part 2. I defintely asked about it
Michael answered every question and spoke about it. It’s coming up in part 2.
Oh wow i like Michael but i heard his story so many times cause they Ask him the same questions but this was a very uniqje Interview with a relaxed Michael. You really proved yourself here James brilliant
I could Listen ur storeis 1000 Times Dont know why its Always Like a first time
That’s nice of you. Thank you for your words.
Great show James 🤛
Thanks Sid
You looked and acted very professional 👍 Great job
Mustang Sally thank you. I try
Ok good stuff!! Let’s do it!
Thank you
Wow this was a good interview. I didn't like Lee Cole and James Proctor at first but this channel has really grown on me.
Thank you James
Good for you James
Thank you April
Michael Franese. Is a man's man.. who was the captain of a young age. It wasn't give it to him. Nothing is given. They knew he was the one that can lead a crew. Made a lot of money. God bless him good man a lot of people love them for who he was.. he got out of the mob.. and he never ran it nobody else.. Mike I give you a lot of credit.. you really turned out to be a good man.. stand up man.. God bless you?. Love you
Thank you Shawn. Michael is a true gentleman in all my dealings with him
You love him ? That's banna Lands
@@liamoconnor9017😂
Awesome
Thanks so much
The main reason why this is a great interview, other than Michael always being so engaging, is because James really knows what he is talking about. Well done, James.
Tremendous job James.
Thank you Angelo
How many times are we going to go through this. It's always the same crap just different interviewers
Same lies too.
Disagree 100%...learned new things about Michael @@msgalahad3332
Well there was alot of new questions we havent heard michsel talk about this time
Dont think for a minute this wasn't rehearsed, fraud the load of bs this guy talks, never liked this sleaze mf!
Its amazing how Franzese always says sames things
Awesome interview, James!!! Again, I love ya and am a big fan, so hope you take this as constructive criticism. Again, the constant interruptions with “mhm”, “right”, “I agree”, totally disrupts the flow. Even Michael got off track a few times. Just let them speak. Wait for a clear pause. I’m not in journalism but that’s what went to college for and remember that being one of the first rules. Let the subject speak as long as possible. You get more and even if it sucks, that’s what editing is for. But also for flow. Maybe I’m just fickle but it gives me anxiety. I usually turn an interview off but this is good stuff and I love supporting ya.
I asked you to throw me a banger and thats exactly what you did. Excellent work and looking forward to pt.2. Proud of you bro!!!
Thank you so much Andrew. Means a lot your support and kind words. Second part will come out on Tuesday
@@jameseproctorpmp I will be here bro.
I think People Feel lost in LIFE without well organised Job and that mobing,story,firendship,events,
Thank you for your comment
Great interview
Thank you so much
I knew Sonny, he was a great man used to see him at all the ring 8 events. My dads cousin Danny knew sonny well, he used to tell me all the time. Wish my friend sonny was here they set him up. On his death bed he spoke about sonny, so when someone introduced me to sonny for the first time when he first came home from prison and we were in the water front crab house for a ring 8 meeting. I said my dads cousin always talks about you and how he misses you till on his death bed. He said whats his name kid i said his name and he said hows that blind bastard doing, lol cause he wore thick glasses i said he passed away. He said he was a good kid. Meanwhile, my dads cousin was in his lare 70's when he passed. Gotta love it
Sonny was the oldest living mobster of his era, for people that don't know. He was the real deal, did his time like a real man. So if he loved his son and had a relationship with his son, who is anyone to say anything different about a man who is LA Costra Nostra and very well respected for that matter. No one would ever v Confront sonny or challenge sonny. Now that he has passed people have things to say. But I've been in his presence and no one I mean no one ever thought different of him, he's a man's man a real mafioso in its true meaning
Wow what a great story and thank you for sharing this with us
Regardless, 1 lie I won't let him slide with is him saying his Dad knew Arnold Rothstein. He would have only been 11 when Arnold died & yeah, not possible lol.
Michael’s grandfather, a respected man, had a bakery and a social club in Greenpoint. Many of the guys would come there and Sonny was in there daily. Sonny told Michael he met Rothstein among other guys of that era. Was Sonny embellishing? Possibly. But that’s what he told them. Team
Great show James your channel has grown where is lee has he stopped being on KZhead ? 👊 🇬🇧
Lee is at Wrestling with the Devil Lee Cole III Podcast
Yes! Finally, we are not watching the same interview 100 times over.
Glad you noticed that
Jimmy!!!! You crushed it mate
Thanks you
Superb
I'm starting to watch this James. Throw me a banger!!!
Lol thanks
🌠🌎 artist Mike is very talented man
Thank you for your comment
Finally Coffee Cake gets a good interview even though we’ve heard it all before
Well done James . I've always liked MF. Looking forward to part two 👍
Hey guys I'm back Michael to comment. Great podcast Mike. I've been leaving comments on your podcast. I really think we can do a mob movie or documentary based on a true story mob stuff. Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter are inspiring. Top two shows are Boardwalk Empire and the Sopranos. Top two movies are A Bronx tale and The departed. Writing has always been my best subject in school. I have been working since I was fifteen at the same restaurant. August will be twenty two years at the same job. I'll be thirty seven in July and I promise I am dedicated to putting a movie documentary or series together. I need your help 🙏. We all can bring something to the table. I watch a lot of the podcast with you Gene Sammy and others. Honestly I know that writing is something I'll be successful with. I'm ready to advance in my life. You only live once and you have to do what makes you happy. I'd really like to meet you guys and talk. We can make this happen. I just want a chance to get started but I need your help 🙏. You guys keep up the good work on the podcasts 👍 and Mike get back with me about this film project please. Thanks guys
Wow Larry Iarizzo liked his macaroni huh? Ha ha and cannoli!
Thanks Matt
Call me naive if you want but i believe him about everything.
Thank you Michael for your comment
More like dumbass
James is a heavy hitter without lee
Yeah I would definitely like to see James solo , much better for him
Bad Bad Leroy Cole is a heavyweight powerhouse of this genre ☘️
@@southie3177 really , I feel like James does very well solo …. Just my 3 cents
Without Lee you have a heavy hitting credibility,Lee playing the clown on Angels show takes from the serious mob subject, you have a clean slate and a credible history untainted by the online nonsense so good for you and great interview.
Wow james!!
Thank you so much for your comment
Great interview James,Michael is a smart guy...and not really a rat
Thanks for the comments and support.
Hello James, Joe Root and MCBW Good Evening
Hi Timothy. Thanks for the comment
Was this taken down and reuploaded? I could have sworn I watched this the first time a couple days ago but now it says uploaded 1 day ago, this week has been a blur so maybe I’m not remembering correctly…
Great interview. I feel sorry for all these guys that are born into that life and left with little options. You can’t judge anyone until you walk in their shoes. Only THE LORD
Thank you for your great words God Bless You
I believe his father. was set up... Sonny with another dealt with lowlifes like that.. for one thing. Michael is his own man.. it didn't matter Michael with Sonny's son.. God bless you Michael. Love you .
Thank you Shawn for your kind words and comments
No but Sonny also isn't gonna let anyone make illegal money in his territory with getting a cut not far fetched
❤
Thanks Elliott
@@jameseproctorpmp your welcome James and Lee always..
Franzese will never admit he got the date wrong even though all details he gave in his book point to 78. Wish to god scarpa didnt go dark as a TE from 75 to 81
Thanks for your comments. Yeah his handler retired and he got into a disagreement with the new guy. Eventually DeVecchio gets Scarpa back in the fold
@@jameseproctorpmp it was a bit more complicated than that. Scarpa had a couple more handlers before the whole Newark NJ fiasco
@@jameseproctorpmp if you want the unredacted Clemente 2 files on scarpa I'll send them to ya but only if you read and study all of them
Damn Michael making Sony look bad in these interviews I'm sure Sonny was not okay with that
James i knew you were going to blow up youe the man asking great questions this is interesting he did name a lot of names in the the senate a Con Man 😂😂😂
So much that could have been asked!.........Why Persico harboured so much hatred for Michael every time he came on television in prison? Why Scarpa Jr said he was made alongside him in 1981? Why Ed McDonald claims he sent more people to prison i.e - Sonnys driver? & on it goes
Gary there is more to the interview in part 2 and we dig deeper. I felt that it made sense to break it into two shows because 90 minutes is a long time.
@jameseproctorpmp part 2 upcoming! Awesome job. This should get your channel more exposure- you deserve it.
James..when u coming to NYC? Matt
Great job James
Thanks Joey Dimes
One interview you did not need all he did was regurgitate his lies.😂
46:01 that pic isn't Sal Miciotta. It's Vinny Aulisi. I might seem critical but that was a pretty good interview. Been doing this research a quarter century now. Wished you'd asked about John Spontini and Americus Scotese but I doubt he wouldve answered . Overall I give the interview a B- . You're getting better at this James
We still have the 2nd part tomorrow. Thank you
You’re not being critical. I like hearing your opinion and thoughts on it of course
@@RealMobStories that picture at 41:06 is Vinny the vet Aulisi. Genovese ILA associate under Mikey Cippola at one time . His son Eddie also
Hes full of BS excuses!!
Didnt he set up Don King and worked along with Al sharpton? I apologize if i missed that part
Was Michael ever around Joe Profaci?
No because Profaci was gone by the time Michael was 12 or so
James looking like Christopher Walken
Lol thanks for the comment
Where was Mondays Social Club on The Island?
I will try and find out. Good question Matt
Hey James would u interview John alite
Now that's a real POS...DON'T NEED HIM ON THIS CHANNEL 😊
No
James you are a very good interviewer, please don’t sell out your integrity by platforming rats.
Thank you for your comments.
Dumb statement
When to expect part 2 ?
Hi Kevin should be in a few days. It’s already filmed and just need to add photos and i will drop it. Probably will do a live a few days after part 2.
@@RealMobStories Great Thank You
In USA is very hard to succeed ,lot of People dont have any important story U have Mike
Thank you for your comments and i wish you the very best success. God Bless you.
