Man Mike, you out did yourself on this one. I still can't believe you are getting these OG's of the Real World and they don't disappoint! These interviews bring me back to my high school days watching them and I love it. Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Joe was one of my favorites. Still has great energy. I would love to see their season have a homecoming. Hope he and his sweet pup continue to have a great life :)
Came here after finding out this morning that Sarah Becker died. I met her when I was 16 at the Family Values Tour (random trivia: this was also the same night Staind debuted “Outside” to the world and recorded the live version that made the song a huge hit) and she was ridiculously amazingly unnecessarily warm and KIND to me. We shared a sandwich in catering and talked skating, Primus, the logistics of “Reality” TV, and just life in general. We took a picture together and she gave me her AOL Instant Messenger screen name and we went on to talk once a night almost every single night for nearly 3 years. She was the living embodiment of positivity and compassion and she taught me so much in the short time we got to know eachother. I can’t even fathom the thought of her ending her life, and this world is a MUCH darker place without her in it. RIP 😢
Wow what a great interview!! Joe is just as awesome as he was back in the day- what a grounded, humble and insightful person! Can't wait to see him on Homecoming or here again!
Warning ⚠️ going to ramble here. I grew up watching the Miami season as a kid. Watched reruns and VHS recordings as a board kid constantly. I spent more time with these people than my own family. So in a lot of ways a Miami Homecoming would feel more like a family reunion than an actual one. This interview was great but the little things like hearing Joe’s same laugh again bring back so many memories. Also interesting to hear that he’s still in touch with Nic. Seeing Cynthia on All Stars and her and Flora on here with another podcast has just been the chefs kiss. What did I do to deserve all this Miami nostalgia in the year 2022? And so soon after I just rewatched the season all over again during Covid quarantine not too long ago. Like Joe said Mike would be the one to ask about info concerning the reunion but I am shocked to not see him in any interviews. Listening to this interview and hearing Joe said he’s had luck with the ladies reminds me of on the show how Mike was supposed to be the ladies man but Joe was the one with all the women around him. He took two different girls to the prom! And would practice not cumming during sex! That’s how Joe was so blessed with the women, he wanted to be a porn star when he grew up! Joe was quite the character just like the other 6 in Miami. Homecoming : Miami was needed like yesterday. Come on BMP give it to us!
God Bless Joe 🙏🏼, he was my favorite RW cast. Got to check out his book. I still have not seen any of the “homecomings” I only saw the trailer to the OG cast and I was not interested. But if Miami Homecomings ever came out I’ll definitely check it out.
I recall RW Miami as the first season I wver watched of The Real World. I was 11 lol But I remember Joe mostly for his infatuation the really tall blonde 'model' Nicole lol
I saw Joe at a Jewel concert in the Bay Area back in 1999. I wanted to say hello to him, but he was hanging out with at least three women; two of whom were ecstatic about being in his company and I think the third one might have been his former roommate Sarah, but I only caught a brief glimpse of her face before she turned her head and walked away.
Miami was the season the show slowly started moving away from documentary towards reality TV by producing scenarios. It was also the last season for several years that they’d cast people from the city they’re shooting in which really changed the type of stories shown to a more controlled environment artificial scenarios. It was the last season in which cast had there personal cars or worked jobs outside of production approved jobs. Also after Miami they began moving from residential houses to warehouse spaces in commercial areas.
Hi Mike--Are there any plans to talk to any of the RW 5 cast about Sarah in light of her recent passing? I know she and Joe were close and lived together in San Luis Obispo in the past.
I wish Joe had been able to run with whatever business idea he wanted. He had the education. He had the experience. I wish we had seen what he could've done with it.
@@nehsangbong7259 They can't have key west without Svetlana though. I've heard rumors that she is dealing with hard times..ddon't know if that is true..but if it is...I don't see her coming back.
@@pistachiosandpopcorn7146 I already know about that. I know about her mental struggles as well as the guy from Incubus who she said assaulted her so she put out a restraining order against. She's the only holdout but they're still in talks about it. The same thing with Austin with Johanna. I heard that she was or is the only holdout.
I’m shock to here Mike from this season of The Real World Miami wants to do homecoming. When Mike is rude to fans on Instagram. I met him and he was not nice and I didn’t say anything mean or rude. But great interview with Joe.
@@christinamitchell6796 He was one of my favorites from his season and he was rude and mean for no reason. I lost all respect for him. I’m glad he not getting a home coming.
@@javardstanley1521 that's sad and a shame, I always hear don't meet people if they have been s hero or favorite of yours. Mike always seemed cool and laid back, he wasn't my favorite on the show but he seemed cool. Honestly I saw a recent interview and I've been rewatching real-world Miami. In watching him as an adult now and not a kid he seemed lost, having mommy issues, shallow and tawdry. I could be totally wrong but that's my observation.
Man Mike, you out did yourself on this one. I still can't believe you are getting these OG's of the Real World and they don't disappoint! These interviews bring me back to my high school days watching them and I love it. Keep up the awesome work!!!!

This cast, this season, the drama. Everything was just (*chef's kiss*). I would love to see a homecoming for Miami.
So would I
The legend Joe!!!!! 1 of the greatest cast members of the Real World, a man with integrity, common sense, and heart!
Joe is the cutest! Same fun personality I remember from 96. And I love his laugh!!
I hope you do more interviews with Joe, I could listen to him for hrs ✌🏻
I'm surprised Dan Renzi hasn't been interviewed yet.
Joe was one of my favorites. Still has great energy. I would love to see their season have a homecoming. Hope he and his sweet pup continue to have a great life :)
Yasss Mike! I feel like I'm on time machine back in the 90s. Miami was that season! 🏝

Man Joe is legend. Love he’s at peace and living his best life.
Wow what a great interview!! Joe is just as awesome as he was back in the day- what a grounded, humble and insightful person! Can't wait to see him on Homecoming or here again!
Joe Patane and his personality. RW Miami wouldn't have been the same without Joe. Mike Lewis did it again!

Love Joes attitude. Yeah I remember his book and that Dan got offended by it lol.
Why did Dan get Offended?
a big Ciao to Joe. i had the luck to know him. I still remember the lovely review for my job at five guys he did. Come again to London!
Ohhh shit how did I miss this?? Man good stuff once again
Just watch the whole season one of my favorites
Joe was and still is the best. He seemed to be harshly routed on Real World. Great to see he’s healed and is as wonderful as ever.
Dear Joe!!! So cute and dreamy!!! Snoopy Lover!!! I love you Joe!!! 😁😁😁😘😘😘
Mike, dear: you gotta interview Sarah, Dan, and Mel too, please!!! I miss them too.😁

YES MIAMI!!! I love the first 7 real world seasons - I hope they can all do it
Excellent mike

I always loved Joe 🥰
I moved from Philadelphia to the country, and it was the best thing I ever did.
Holy crap you got Joe

Joe looks amazing, he was the best male on this season.
Does any feel like a real world miami homecoming
I feel like either Miami or Key West is in talks right now and could be next.

Thats sad especially online in person can be tricky i guess because you never know what s person is going through.

@@christinamitchell6796 You are right. I also been rewatching Real Miami as well.
@@javardstanley1521secretly back then I wanted Joe and Cynthia to get together, he respected and responded to her differently.
Joe I'ma going to need your skincare routine asap
omg yes, he looks great! its that Italian in him I guess :)
I remember his 6”6 ex
It's definitely not going to happen now that Sarah passed away
What were Joe and Nic’s heights?
Joe is 4'10 and Nic was 7'2. He needed a ladder 🪜 to go up on her.😜
What happened to that huge girlfriend of his , Nick
