Very good
Very good stuff.
Mob Lore with Punchline
I put on the first episode of the Sit Down while making a sandwich today and can't wait for episode 2 to drop. Mike and Frank have great chemistry. I could listen to Frank tell stories of old New York for days. This "woke Mafia" podcast is a perfect addition for anyone into true crime, recent history of NYC, and inside baseball chatter about the stand-up scene from a "barely white" Italian American point of view.
Recine should be 4th cumboy
Ah man this is awful. Recine is funny, but he’s paired up with some adderal’d up old loud mouth mozzarella head low life from Queens. The guy is supposedly some nobody comic and he has a lot of nothing to say. He can’t even acknowledge when Recine makes a joke.
