That story about Tyson meeting his Mom, actually brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful moment, from beautiful people! ✌🏻&❤️!!!

Michael Franzese is such a blessing for us to have!

This is such a gem! This guy thinks he's lucky he had not one, not two, but three chances to rise up, my dear Joe, no, its not luck, a human with such a soul deserved this and much more. God bless you!

What a great sitdown. Joe's stories had me smiling so many times. He's truly a remarkable optimist and it's wonderful more people will know about him from this exposure. And Mr. Franzese, you did a great job of listening and letting a great storyteller have his space. Well done.

Thank You so much for the sit downs!! Excellent content, great inside information.

I really respect and appreciate everything Micheal does for his fans! He’s a true legend! 💯💯❤️

Mike is my favorite boxer of all time, and a huge inspiration to me. Hearing these personal stories about him is priceless. Thanks so much to both of you for bringing them to the world.

To say Mike aTyson is special is an understatement. Brought tears to my eyes listening to that. Actually one of the best KZfaq videos I’ve ever seen!

Whoever picked the intro song deserves a raise! I get hyped every time I hear that beat

Michael your literally an inspiration sir, the way you carry yourself, and the calm way you speak about things that are serious, or horrible, or funny, a presence of confidence and comfort in the face of any topic discussed. I’ve learned a lot from your channel, it’s given me some added context to my own challenges in my life, god bless you Michael, and keep the videos coming aha!

What a beautiful story about Mike and his mum, you never hear the good they only publicise the bad

The Irish charm won Micheal over.. There is nothing I love more than being Irish. I live in London but 100% Irish. 🇮🇪🍀

Brilliant micheal never expected this a fellow Irishman joes a legend 💚☘️

Still can't believe you're nearly 70 Michael, you're looking sharp mate! Great channel 👏👍

One of the best sit downs ever! I truly respect Joe

I just discovered Michael Franzese this weekend and what a BLESSING !!!! I appreciate you sharing your experiences and wisdom . It’s joy to listen to you share your life and knowledge. I loved this interview/discussion. Life is hard but does have meaning and we all need each other !!!! May God bless you and your family, Micheal !

Joes a great man and a good friend of my family. Huge respect, Michael.

I remember training alongside Big Joe In Uk Birmingham what a lovely gentleman 👊🥊

Mr. Franzese, I have thoroughly enjoyed these sit downs. It's inspiring to hear how these real men have overcome setbacks. Thanks for allowing them the opportunity to share their stories and experiences.

I hadn’t heard of Joe Eagan before. I’m truly impressed by the man’s character. I wish he was my friend!

This guy speaks very well for a guy who fought these heavy hitters. Thanks for this video.

The people of the former Soviet republics are pretty gosh darn tough too and many champion boxers among them. But OMG, what a great interview with Joe Egan. So many lessons to take away from it. Very valuable interview.

Tyson's sparring partners acting like they were on their way to a funeral before training....I can see that happening. He was terrifying....

Micheal, i came from Birmingham and remember that time when he had the trouble in the pub, everyone in the area did,i meet him in the pub once a lovely man joe was very respectful and a nice man ,he has many many friends in Birmingham,,,

You're best sit down yet Michael big Joe Egan 💪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️ love from Ireland

Do a part 2 with Joe. This has been absolutely must watch I jab literally glued to this interview, even cried when he said Mike hugged his Mum and also whenime knew about Dale saving the pub. This is truly an epic interview. Big up Joe and thank you Michael, you are truly a really accomplished host

I had a sit down with him in Birmingham UK at the Dubliners pub. Top Man and a very nice man too.

One of the most special sit downs ever... Thankyou for the content... The world needs more people with hearts like this...

Micheal you have so many Irish fans, come to the Emerald Isle! 🇮🇪 ☘️

Damn this guy has some serious relationships in the boxing world.

Hes a nice guy. Good heart. Very likeable person.

Absolutly amazing interview. You both had great energy together and Thank you Michael for introducing us all to Joe. What a wonderful and inspiring man.

When mike Tyson hit you with his left hook not only do you see stars but galaxies and universes

Michael, another outstanding interview! These are throwbacks (for me) to the 60's talk shows like Susskind (NYC), Kup , ( Chicago) etc. I mean this as a great compliment. Thanks.

Of all of the interviews you’ve done this one is my favourite so far, love the story of Joe’s mom sending Mike a care package from Ireland with Tayto chips on his 18th birthday.

Wow this was an absolute amazing episode Michael. Mr Egan is an amazing guy. It’s so cool to hear about him with Cuss and Iron Mike Tyson! This guy has a huge heart. Thanks for this sit down. Very inspiring

What an awesome, quality individual! Could listen to him tell stories forever. Excellent interview, thank you fellas!

This is the first time I've commented on Michael's videos and I have to say I also enjoyed this very much. I haven't seen a guy with such heart speak this way in a long time. He even speaks in a heartfelt manner and is so caring. I wonder if his mom is still alive? She sure did a wonderful job in raising him. You can't help but feel touched at times when he tells a story. This is such a heartwarming meeting to watch.

Michael, this is the best & the most soul warming sit down I've seen, thank you and God bless you. Such a great man you recognized.

Loved this chat. Was really great to see a Fellow Irish Man sit down. 2 legends just shooting the breeze 🇮🇪

Great!! Another Sitdown!! This just made my day!! I love how fast this channel has grown, since last year, it's so positive.

Quite a compliment coming from the "baddest man on the planet" ! The Irish are a specialist breed who don't take kindly to being told what to believe or do or who to follow, that deserves respect totally, I'm brittish and respect how they fought back for their beliefs, love your channel Michael! !! Love from the uk

I could listen to him talk for hours, such a passionate and endearing soul he’s got. I’m in a bit of a rut myself and listening to him inspired some courage within me. This man is everything Michael says, a heart as big as the frame he carries and a great source of light to the world. My only complaint is that I’ve been a fight fan as long as I can remember and never heard of him before this sit down. He deserves far more recognition and exposure, the world needs more people like him as role models.

I learnt so many life lessons from this, from both of you. I'm from Birmingham and watched mainly to hear some stories from Big Joe but I got so much more than that. Especially the part about Fathers and losing them. Thank you and God bless Michael 💙🤍

Brilliant yet again my friend. Could watch your sit downs all day. Looking forward to all your future content programs. God bless

My English was bad before i knew Michael Franzese! Now, I am - God bless - better then before. And thanks Michael!

Utterly outstanding interview, or perhaps I should say "sitdown"!. I always enjoy Michael's postings but I believe this will go down as one of the very best. I have to admit to not knowing of "Big Joe" before this video but I'll be buying his book forthwith. There were so many personal insights of Joe and his associates/friends to be gleaned, as well as many life lessons that can serve everyone well. No-one is ever too old to learn and improve in life, no matter what path their life has taken them. Michael conducts his interviews superbly, especially this one, and whilst Joe admitted to having the "gift of the gab", his humility shone through. Both Michael and Joe have had their challenges and ups and downs in life, but it is heartwarming to see their positivity and love of family shine through. Chapeau to both of you guys, inspirational.

When Joe talks about his father i had goosebumps

Really enjoying these sit-down Michael. Keep them coming

Loving these sit-downs Michael! Love the variety, cant wait for future ones

I’ve seen all but two videos on Michael’s KZfaq channel and this one is by far my favorite video. Real touching.

Great sit down. The story about Tyson cradling the sparing partner he knocked out reminded me of a KZfaq video I recently watched. It was a collection of all of Tyson's knockouts. Almost everyone shows Tyson going to the fighter right after the stoppage and appear to comfort the fallen warrior. Beautiful.

Wow 70 years old! God bless you Michael you sure don't look it!🙏 Thanks for the hard work and keeping good substantive content coming out!!💪

Watching from joes hometown dublin💚great sitdown michael

Joe gave so much insight on Mike. Loved when he spoke about Mike knocking someone out and then showing care, letting them know it’s going to be okay. Mike carried a lot of pain throughout most of his life and it’s amazing to see him be at peace today. He really looks happy!

I love mike tyson , grew up watching mike , but the way big joe is talking about mike , is the way i look at joe , real adrimation for this man , fellow dubliner

Man these sit downs are just pure gold, thank you Michael.

Love listening to you guys tell us what was happening back then. It adds color to the history.

This man has a real genuine good guy aura. We need more like him...Mike is known as a VERY genuine good hearted individual by many a person....God bless

Joe is PURE GOLD, I don't think I've seen this kind of Humbleness and Honesty is a very long long time..GREAT SIT DOWN Michael, Really.

What a Freaking Awesome Guy! Such a Humble soul! Loved this sit down, By far my favorite🙏🏾 Hope many great successes to this brother 🤙🏾👑 🥊

Thank you Michael. I have learned much about Tyson and Joe. Two true champions and great men.

OMG,,I'm all teared up,,that was the best podcast IV ever watched Micheal,,I'm younger than Joe,but from Dublin,I'm gonna give this to my dad to watch ,I know he will love it,,What a gentle Giant,,thanks Michael

Michael I can’t tell you how impressed I am by this man...I’ve instantly become a life long fan as of this moment. I’m so inspired by him what a great human being Joe is what a absolutely amazing interview it was thank you 🙏 Michael words can’t describe how much I appreciate this talk .Thank You Joe

You are literally the best!! I love it when you make these kind of videos, God bless you and your family ❤️❤️

Two legends meet what could be better to watch than this ??

Wow! What an insightful Man. I really took alot away from this sit down. Thank you Michael, there are times in ones life when an individual's story can provide encouragement just when we need it most. Take care

Absolutely one of the most beautiful and honest sit downs I've ever watched. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

This has to be my favourite interview by far.. Joe is a real gentleman, we need more people like you michael and joe. Fantastic!!!

Joe is from Ringsend...a real tough working class area of Dublin god bless you Joe 👍👍

The one thing I absolutely love about Michael's video's are he always try to send a positive message filled with hope, faith, love and inspiration. Without a doubt one of my favorite characteristics of his channel.

I’m new to this channel and this episode is one of the best hands down !! Honestly made me tear up lowkey. Other people wouldn’t know what to do walking a day in his Joe’s shoes . True definition of standing up with your chin up and chest out when Life throws everything your way !! My hat goes off to this dude !! Stand up guy , honorable, courageous .

WOW. I remember all that happening in Birmingham with Joe Egan. I have to say I never thought I would hear a story about my hometown on your show Michael. It was rough back then for sure. Fair play to Joe Egan, and Thank you Michael for this sit down.

I love that Joe said it's an honor to be able to stand on your feet against two of the best fighters in the world. This was a fantastic sit down. Love Mike and Joe's friendship it's a beautiful thing.

I have seen most of your sit downs, this is as good as any. Joe is so sincere and humane. I am a pastor and this was inspiring, I want to inspire people just like Joe has inspired me. Thank you Mike, I love what you are doing and have become.

God!...the sit downs keep getting better & better. I truly enjoyed listening to Joe speak, and the love he has for people. He's like a gentle giant. God truly has blessed this beautiful man.

Another great interview. Congratulations on your 500.000 subs I think in a few months we will congratulating you for 1 million subscribers. I joined your crew this week. Looks like a great opportunity. Your one hell of a guy. God bless. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I can't believe how good Micheal looks considering he's 70 yrs old !!

Thank you for a great and enjoyable sit down Michael, I’m in awe of guy’s like you and Joe , tough with honesty and integrity, I wish their were more people in the world like you God Bless

Nothing but love for your sit downs sir...amazing life you've led and pure respect for the choices you've made in your life....you squire are a true inspiration to the lost generation

Love the you're doing something with an Irish guy. Love what you do Michael. God bless.

I've never met Big Joe Egan but..he'll always be my uncle. His look on life is close to perfect.

Met joe in Liverpool absolute tank of a man and nice guy

What a great interview. I love Joe Egon! He’s so humble and has an amazing story. Thanks Michael for sharing. Truly enjoyed Joe & his story. What a great man indeed! Thank you…

Thank you for your time and getting me through the lockdown Michael. No way ya look 70 my friend. God bless and all the best from ireland🇮🇪 we love ya❤️🙏

As a Dubliner myself this is a great Sit down. Cheers Michael, God bless 🇮🇪 P. S Any chance you could do a vid about the Irish mob in New York?

Big Joe is a very articulate and sincere man great sitdown and I must say Micheal Franzese you are an amazing speaker, I have watched and listened to many of your videos and your way of connecting is great

Michael thank you for doing all of this, every sit-down is a pleasure. Being Irish, I know of Big Joe Egan but after this..well, the man has just gone way up in my reckoning as I'm sure he did in everyone's..a more honest and genuine guy you wouldn't meet. Like yourself , I find truth and honesty in all you say, so too with Joe..I could listen to you both all day! ..again thank you and please keep them coming, God bless and stay safe

I love these videos. Thank you to both, Joe and Michael.

Now this is a great interview i did not want to miss...thanks.

I started this video having never heard of the guy. I finished it a huge fan. What a fantastic energy this guy has. Just emanates the aura of a good human being. Another enthralling sit-down with Mr. Franzese.

Great sit down, really enjoyed the stories, an emotional roller coaster, thank you Mr. Franzese and Mr. Egan! Sincerely.

Thumbs up without even starting video. Great channel Michael

Great sit down, loved this cross over. Joe is a legend of Irish boxing 🇮🇪

Your blowing me away with these sit downs Mr.Franzese, keep up the excellent work. God bless you and yours.

This is one of the best sit dows i've seen. Joe Egan comes across as a wonderful man. Absolutely lovely!

Fair play having a fellow Dublin and Irish man on your show Michael. And this after a great talk with another man with Irish blood the brilliant Ed O Neill. Show is going from strength to strength 👍

What a fantastic conversation and guy Joe is.

Real and genuine content. Stories of sport, pain, struggle, triumph, joy, friendship, family, and love. I'm sticking around.
