Best of many Franzese interviews I've seen. Having the ex-fed sitting there who personally investigated his family made it that much better. Great stuff
@@zacksguitarhacks6390 I listened to O & A in past years and he's from East Northport LI. I lived in Northport.Came to find out that he bought his mother a house about 25 years ago next to my friends house inn Medford I think.I miss the old show.
@@josephzwielich2569 I lived off larkfield road all of high-school and in my 20s. Northport is a bit crazy though as they have their own "special" police department and the cops get a bit annoying. Also There is an incredible bakery called Copenhagen down by the actual Northport village area by the water. Highly recommended 👌.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Michael Franzese is the best interview. He's intelligent, funny and honest. I've been following him for close to a decade and his story never changes.
he's always been a good guy...sonny was my grandfather's first cousin..my grandfather was orphaned when his father went to prison and his mom passed..at the orphanage they changed my grandfather's last name from franzese to frazia which is why anyone in the old phone books with that last name is a relative...anyway, my father hung with Mike a few times as kids and teens..he always said Michael was always a good guy. as was sonny. I never met him so I'm not bragging about the relation...he wouldn't know me from a whole in the wall , but I'm sure he'd remember my father. since your interested in him I figured I'd tell you the little bit of knowledge I had about him...my father only spoke positive things about him as a youth
I listen to Ant all the time, and have probably seen 20 docs with Michael in them, but never thought of the two together. Like peanut butter and chocolate, fantastic interview
D'agostino and Franzese should do a podcast, or something together. That was a fantastic interview and it was fascinating and entertaining hearing them speak about those shared experiences from two different lenses.
Why d’agostino would just shit on organized crime, chasing small potatoes all the while the us government is committed organized crime on incomparably larger scale
@@philthedrill2244 more than once, claimed he loved the mob because they “took care of him.” Hard to tell if it was a joke or not since Opie was never the funny one.
@@jlshel42 hilarious. I never listened to O&A when it was on the air but have yet to emerge from a Patrice-induced O&A (+ Chip Chipperson / Doug Bell, and Compound) TH-cam rabbit hole I first went down 3 years ago. I’ll keep an ear out for those claims. He really is and was a complete boob.
This is what people want to watch. An episode of refreshing candor. Everyone is loose and comfortable which makes for sincere honesty. Salud! Coke floats in my cup, n**ga!
Three Italians shooting the shit. I remember Bobby Kelly telling Ant that no one would buy the compound describing it as, "that fucking guinea palace."
@@citypopFM taxes, taxes on that house were close to $50,000 annually. People with enough money to spend on a mulit-million dollar house, and pay $50k a year in taxes are fleeing New York State for better states.
I'm so happy you did this I've been following Michael on his panel since the beginning I was hoping someday y'all would do an interview together glad y'all did it
Anthony on Michael's conversation with his Dad Sonny Franzese not taking responsibility for his life choices, "Dad, you're not Dr. Richard Kimball with the one armed man..." LOL!
Thank you for sharing, that was a great interview, and you two can drink a beer on the show, i'll be right there😃. God bless and stay safe. Ray from lindenwood, queens
This was one of the best all around conversations on so many levels. Very kismet. How old is Vinny D'Agostino anyway? He aught to have his channel info etc. in the show notes.
Michael Francies and Dave Smith got to make a show together or something because Dave is so smart and gifted when it comes to his position in politics and Michael would agree on many of his stances in society and government but only because of his run-in with the law enforcement
There is a lot of truth to this statement. Cops and criminals share many of the same characteristics and qualities. At least the best of both, do. They just use them for a different reason.
Dudes been friends with Anthony a long time. It was a last second thing about him missing a train or something so he stopped by to watch the show. Pure coincidence and he didn’t prepare for the interview. I still thought it was good.
We know what you're talking about. You know what you're talking about. But you guys never once use the words "Mafia" (until 55:04 as a generalization) or "La Cosa Nostra." You only refer to "the life," but hell that could mean you play pro rugby. I swear you Italians. You guys are careful as hell. Are you afraid the podcast is bugged?
When the ex-fed said “John” and Michael went “My brother??”, I thought shit might go sideways. Vinnie was basically involved in putting a wire on his brother that sent his dad to prison for life. Oof.
Best of many Franzese interviews I've seen. Having the ex-fed sitting there who personally investigated his family made it that much better. Great stuff
Vinny D'Agostino was great, but his ability to "lie/bullshit" trained into him by the fbi is grossly evident.
a former capo, an ex-fed, and a back-alley tunisian knife fighter. a triumvirate to endure the ages.
A really fun interview. Glad Michael was open to speaking with me. Glad I missed the train and was able to do this.
@Seacock Nanny Thanks. I didn't want to hijack the interview so I tried to be mindful but defiantly had a lot more meat on the bone.
Who are you
He's the guy sitting next to Anthony..
@@billybilligan986 hahaha
What are you babbling about
This is gold! One of the best interviews I’ve ever watched. This puts 60 minutes to shame. Anthony is the best. An icon from East Northport.
Long Island?
Wow I just looked it up and we went to the same high school. Too bad Elwood has changed A LOT since I was there.

Thank you to Compound Media, Mr.Cumia and Mr.Franzese for the freebie.
The way this interview happened is so epic. What a treat.
That was awesome! I have followed Michael for a long time it was very interesting having an FBI agent there to corroborate stories about his father
Stepfather
Michael Franzese is 70 years old just to remind everybody. Talk about looking good for your age, holy shit.
Looks incredible. Good genetics run in his family, his pops lived until 102
@martini stirred And the gabagool.
It's hard to believe Michael's 70 years old
Almost 72!
@@dannyh5937 his dad lived to be 102 and was like SUPER attractive up until he was 40 too. i think he even dated marilyn monroe

Fantastic job, Anthony. Michael was great, Vinny was great, and this was a shining moment for Compound Media. Just knocked it out of the park.

Yes! Gumba and the Badge with sidekick Robin Quivers interrupting their epic debates with "Oh you guys!"
@@hangtime911 Maybe no Robin quivers interrupting... lol.

I hope he asks Michael if he ever had a caddy named Gregg on Long Island.
Lmao 🤣🤣

Man this was fuckin great. I've seen a handful of Michael's interviews and this was probably the best. Three Italians chopping it up!
Anthony and Michael?! Best of both worlds!
That was great! Only on compound!
Literally a dream interview, congrats, big fan of Michael 👏
Never forget: TRUMP IS THE BIGGEST BOZO IN AMERICAN HISTORY
This needs to happen again. Great conversation!!!
Stalker Patti and Michael Franzese is the crossover I never would have expected in a million years.
The interview and the discussion after it is so deep. Loved every minute, so much to learn.
Cumia was on fire last week every show was gold its worth every penny for the content you get on compound media 🔥
Could listen to him talk for hours. Very smart dude.
pure content.... criminally under viewed. 47,000 in july, 27, 2022.... btw Franzese has aged better than me at 43

Holy crap, one of my favorite hosts interviewing one of my favorite guys to hear interviewed!!
Excellent. Anthony does it again.
HOLY SHIT ! What an episode.
A 1st generation mob guy in an interview with a 1st generation fed that was investigating the former’s family…this was epic. Truly intriguing.
Mike was obviously at least 2nd generation. They literally talk about how his dad brought him in
@@jbo4547 1st generation Americans. Their parents were born in Italy
@@lowfrequency1180 you said first generation mob guys..... not Americans. But whatever
@@jbo4547 Yeah, I wasn’t clear
“There was Jimmy, and Ant, and Michael Franzese.. and Moe Black’s brother, Fat Andy…”
Great interview. Quite the dynamic.
dang good interview
The crossover I never expected
Great job Ant! Amazing job by you and Vinny. BRAVO!
The fbi guy, Michael and Ant made for an epic interview.
I'm so happy you did this I've been following Michael on his panel since the beginning I was hoping someday y'all would do an interview together glad y'all did it
Ant your a living legend! From Australia
Finally. Big fan of both.
Well done Ant, great interview
Cumia interviewing Franzese.. this is like a dream interview.
Anthony Cumia. In a million year's you ever imagine you would be doing this! Way to keep it moving 👍
grazie, Iw as waiting for this one.
Michael is truly a great story!! Michael all the love your story and new life REALLY has helped tons of people.
Michael has taken over my TH-cam news feed 😂
Anthony have Michael on again and talk politics a bit with him next time. You guys would get along on that topic & i’d love to hear it.
I haven't even watched yet and I already liked. 2 fucking true Italian American legends
Can you do an interview of Michael Dowd from the 75
Anthony you are awesome , quality content !!
Absolutely captivating interview on all sides here.
I’ve been waiting for this.
Definitely need to have them on again
Fucking awesome interview. Best 2nd chair for it as well. Cheers, Ant.

in the 1980s they were making $1.5 billion dollars in today's money.
Awesome stuff Ant
It's a delicate situation
Best mike interview ever and I've seen them all
Whether you like or disklike Cumia he is a really good host. Asked some great insightful questions.
lol the fed with the voice of a young boy LMAO
This was classic best thing is Opie wasn't there to fuck up the vibe. lol
He would of took hella phone calls
Holdonholdonholdon…….
The cornerstone of every epic interview: Barry Ribs
Mike's family is his life hes such a cool wise guy and just way he talks about his son he is a great father family man god bless mike ...
This was one of the best all around conversations on so many levels. Very kismet. How old is Vinny D'Agostino anyway? He aught to have his channel info etc. in the show notes.
I wonder is Michael used to listen to the Opie and Anthony Show
Oh shit. My 2 favorite TH-cam searches on one video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Michael Francies and Dave Smith got to make a show together or something because Dave is so smart and gifted when it comes to his position in politics and Michael would agree on many of his stances in society and government but only because of his run-in with the law enforcement
Skanks Dave Smith? Can’t see that going well tbh
Amazing interview! Michael is great!!!
Wow great interview. Franzese is a real OG
Cumia is such a king
With that education, the ex-FBI guy could use better language.
Vinny being there and making comments was uncomfortable. I wish Anthony would have just done the interview alone
Still can’t believe Michael is 70 years old, guy looks 50.
Never heard of this guy but I am here to learn... been listening to O&A vids for about 2 years 1-2 full episodes a day. Gotta laugh to keep from cryin
Vladtv interviewed him
Donnie Brascoe is proof that cops make better criminals.
I’m sure the Mob wish they had more like him 😂
They did. The Mob had countless contacts, associates and even family in law enforcement within the Tri State area
There is a lot of truth to this statement. Cops and criminals share many of the same characteristics and qualities. At least the best of both, do. They just use them for a different reason.
Awesome!!!!!!
What a great interview!👍
Don't make a jerk out of me Henry, don't do it.
Mikes best interview.
Anthony should look into buying a franchise in Michael’s pizza brand “”Slices”. Make a go of it in his new home state.
Holy crap. You happen to have the former Fed that helped his brother turn on the family? Freaking gold, Ant
Great interview Ant
Great content! More stuff like this will get you up to Rogan’s level
What's the documentary that's mentioned?
Your never supposed to admit the existence of this this thing of ours.
Amazing interview. I wish Michael would have dove into the fact he was pre-med untill Joe Colombo started the italian rights stuff.
I'm surprised they didn't ask him about his sit down with Sammy.
43:50 Farmingdale is eastern Long Island ? 😂😂😂
Incredible interview
This Fbi guy is not my type of guy.
Dudes been friends with Anthony a long time. It was a last second thing about him missing a train or something so he stopped by to watch the show. Pure coincidence and he didn’t prepare for the interview. I still thought it was good.

29:00 gotta respect the cop right here. Michaeñ sent a low key dis his way, and he recognized it and countered it inmediately
Love when you have Vinny on
Mike was pre med student when Sonny got pop on the bank robbery arrest
