Great again dodge u get better and better mucca
Yeahhh man thanks keep up the good work 👏
Brilliant interview, Dodge great guest, no false bravado or acting tough. Just an absolute gentleman. The real deal can't wait to see Michael on the stage during his UK tour in March in April.
Nice one Shaun and the UK Tour is going to be a cracker.

High praise from Cesare.
Love both your guys interview styles.
@@mpd7878damn bro your edgy 😂
but he is a liar - MobTalkRadio watch his research and you be the judge!
Real gangsters don't play tough Greg was a killer and he was an informant
I could listen to this guy all day long. It’s refreshing to hear from someone who’s really lived the life and stayed humble. It’s obvious he has nothing to prove. Again Dodge you get the true story and show how interested and respectful you are.
I’ve said it before many times, you yourself would be a great person to sit and chat to about your own life experiences. Without blowing smoke, you’re the best podcaster in the game. 😊 well done to you and your tight team.
Same thoughts exactly. Very well done. Would love to see a series on this life as a Netflix series.
Genuinely probably the best interview you've had to date, and you've had some great interviews.
No disrespect to the UK gangsters, but this guy comes from a whole different world. You can tell just from the odd smirk and grin we have no idea how big he really was in the mob
he was on the top 50 FBI list at one point in time lol
@@minge9 and chances are if they knew everything he'd have been in the top 10
He was big in the mob, because of the money he was bringing in. He wasn't a "tough" guy, but he didn't need to be
Yeahhh man ,skimming the taxes for petroleum in the big apple for years they got away with it yep yep you guessed it ,absolute billionaire a tough guy who needs tough guys to look after him cause he worth a lotta lotta doe by this time (big fish 🐟 )WORLD CHAMPS IN THE GANGSTER ERA 😉 big family.......friends close enemy's closer 👍
@tomz5704
Exactly. The mob left the earners to bring in the money and used the thuggish gangsters to dish out the beatings and do the hits...
Michael must have been involved in a hit though or he wouldn't have been made... he can't admit to it as he's not got immunity from prosecution but he tells you enough for you to work it out.
This guy could start a toilet cleaning business and grow it into something huge, he's just got that business acumen.
My jaw dropped in first minute! Great edition, Dodge!
Yeah a powerful 60 seconds for sure 🤩
Great guest Dodge now this man is the real deal 10 mil a week in them days cant help but have huge respect
Wow what a fantastic interview/life story !!! Thank you Dodge and Michael .
again Dodge produces another outstanding episode, by far the best interviewer anywhere...and as a side note what an amazing guest ...humble eloquent wise and has a voice made to listen to... so i am off to listen to his Rumble show and then maybe catch up on some of his you tube videos....
So glad you did this one mate. My favourite podcaster and prob my favourite guest from interviews I’ve seen with him on other podcasts. Can’t wait to get into it.
This man has lived such a mad life and has so many stories to tell, definitely a guest to have back on again
Cheers John and yes we’ll bring doing a part 2 for sure 🙌
@@DodgeWoodall yeah really enjoyed it mate. I enjoy all your podcasts tbh but this one is definitely up there. Fascinating man I could listen to him talk all day
Top interview Dodge.......you're upping the ante big time.
Best interviewer on TH-cam. So glad I found your channel
Welcome on board Bradley 💪🏼
🤮
Been watching Michael for years and luckily I have the pleasure of meeting him in march in London which I can’t wait for
I’m so glad you’re going to meet him in his UK tour as he’s got soooo many quality stories. He’s a great guy who’s got time for people.
He’s been there, done it & got he tee shirt 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
@@DodgeWoodall dodge honestly been watching mob stuff for years especially Michael . I would say Michael is the only person I can watch multiple interviews of even if he has the same story . Seems like a real
Genuine guy too
You deserve at least 1 million subscribers
Appreciate it mate and maybe one day 💛
This is one guy I'd love to meet, you can tell straight away his stories are all truth he never mumbles or stutters what a bloke
You get amazing guests on your channel dodge wow
Wow what an interview! Keep up the good work dodge
Brilliant interview Dodge I am a fan of your channel, you ask the the questions and let your guest speak at length and in detail. Michael Franzese is a man’s man, and doesn’t pull punch and shoots straight! Great content!
Much appreciated Andrew 👍🏼👍🏼
Love this interview, love the way Dodge just leaves a hint, a little mention to get the story he wants without directly asking. Love it 🔥 very clever
Good man Andy 😊👍🏼
Awesome interview he’s a classy guy always a good listen 🤙🏴
Michael Franzese is a legend! 👍😀
What a great interview, Dodge! I've seen a lot of interviews with Mr Franzese but this one stands out! Asking good and other questions i've seen before and just let Michael speak. Really, really good interview! Thanks a million.
Dear Dodge, thanks for responding. I wanna ask you something: How is it to sit in front of such a flamboyant, well-spoken, interesting and releaxed person who has been in a life that's so violent and scary and talks about it so calm? I think you did a fantastic job, really! Cheers mate!
Hi Dodge, Great interview. what a well spoken man, good luck to him, keep them coming
Well done dodge and the team on 100,000 subs 👏👏👏
Love this Guy and the way he’s turned his life round I met him last year and he had so much time for everyone, also this interviewer is great asks questions and actually lets him answer
Another great podcast Dodge. I’m a big fan of music but I really like listening to these while exercising. It’s a good incentive to load up these podcasts and go for a hike. Great stuff!
I Met Michael on his first Uk tour back in 2022 he was an absolute gentleman lovely fella, probably never find another one like Michael who has rehabilitated & completely changed the course of his life since leaving the life, & he looks absolutely fantastic for his 72 years. Michael has such a great vibe & energy about him. He is a beacon to alot of men out there, that no matter how bad things can get in life, you can change for the better ❤
You cant help liking Michael
Loved this! I’ve watched Michael on TH-cam a load of times and he’s a very interesting character, with bundles of great stories. Great interview Dodge 👏
Honestly this is one of the best interviews for Michael
Mafia Boss in His Dreams ! Michael Franzese is a Government Informant !
He's doing a Tour So He Doesn't Lose His Grift on TH-cam !
On Joey Merlino's Podcast He Showed His 302's .This is an Agreement with
the Government and the Informant ! Facts
Michael has always admitted taking the stand in a case but never provided any information that ever got anyone sent to jail for one day...
That's a smart move, he got the law off his back, took the stand and gave them information they already knew smd the defendant never served one day in jail.
Had he refused the Feds would have been trying to violate his parole and get him back in jail...
He knew what he was doing, he outsmarted them.
Love this guy Michael been following him for a while it’s refreshing to hear him chatting to a Brit and not an American who are overtly enamoured with the whole ‘mob’ life thing. Dodge just asking him straight up questions without kissing his arse or glorifying it, like others have.
Good man 👍🏼🇬🇧
I’ve watched hundreds of this man’s vids and learnt more about him in this than sll of them superb !!
Absolutely smashed it dodge love this guy always have he reminds me of my late father a proper man. keep up the graft!
Another great interview good work dodge Michael was a great guest.
I've been following Mr. franzese for a while now a lot longer than I have been following dodge, but this is bound to be a great interview (I'm 7 mins in )
I listened to him on tons of podcast and follow his own TH-cam story. Of all the ex mobsters who speak publicly, I love listening to him. He doesn’t embellish the violence and act like he was the most feared ever.
Great guess and great podcast.
Handled n interviewed this guest, better than the rest, I just had to come back n give praise, good job Dodge, flows so much better n we get so much more info from Michael while still feeling so natural at the same time, well in bruv.
Dodge, seriously - just recently found your channel. I must say they’re all brilliant guests and love the way you let your guests tell their stories…. Thank you for creating
Good man for the message and welcome aboard 👍🏼👍🏼
Great Interview
Michael Franzese absolutely an amazing guest to have, I have been keeping up with this man for many years and read his book as well great guy, even though he has done bad but also done many good things
The best interview of Michael so far. I could listen to this man for hours, amazing life and amazing story teller 💪
Interview was another level! Belief+trust=faith!!
Dodge you pulled it out the bag , big name and your interview skills are on point , you let your guests talk.

Dodge, I listen to podcasts all the time and you are the best interviewer I have ever seen. You ask the best questions.

Wow, proper catch getting Michael Franzese on the show! Proves how well you're doing mate! Great interview as per, have watched quite a few things with Michael in and he's definitely one of those people I'd love to meet and chat with, no ego or act ......just tells it as it is/was!

Just found this channel cos of Michael Franzese love the look of all the other podcasts
If you're gonna pinch, pinch big! Michael certainly did that, great interview Dodge!
Michaels a great humble guy
Love your interviews mate another great one here!
20+ mins in,you can see how he picks up on everything when being questioned on certain events,still very cagey.
Brilliant guest Dodge,start calling you the 'prince of podcasts'😁 in this this corner of TH-cam 10/10 you &💯 Michael
Cheers mate 🙌
Cheers,I've been listening too MF for some time now on various other channels,never get bored in hearing these stories,these men are few and far between now,I can imagine you feel very privileged for him too tell ye a bit of street history of the past whilst visitng these shores.Good job.
Of all the Michael Franzese interviews this is one of the best, good interviewer on letting him speak
I was going to leave the same comment 👍
@@jamiebooth3181 💯%
I watch a few of these “sort” of pods and dodge is easily the best for this very reason, he inputs when it’s relevant and has something to offer but lets them talk and express themselves. The other reason why this is my favourite is the guests he has on, there’s really good diversity of types but as the title says, all have had “eventful lives” some have had several and a couple probably 9🤣
i've watched so many interviews/podcasts of michael i honestly think i could answer every question for him lol...like literally..becos he is the man and he never change his story 😅
Great interview Dodge. Like listening to a real life Goodfella. Really enjoyed this one
Wow, that 1hr 30mins went fast. Could listern all night. I love ppl who have great life experiences. Good or bad.
Spending that long in confinement, he must have had inside help to make it a little easier. Hence why he was moved so much. So good he never cracked.
Got me through another night shift,loved it
Amazing interview again dodge 👏
Superb podcast Dodge jumped on it soon as I seen it on your LinkedIn brother 👌👏
Fantastic interview, Great stuff.
Well done again dodge great pod 👍👊 if he’s still got any assets be worth silly money now
Great interview. Enjoyed you having to renege on some of the cockney patter so your questions made more sense 😂
You can't get rumble in the UK unfortunately.great video enjoyed watching it! Positivity peace and love ♥️
Amazing interview.
Got yourself a new subscriber
