What you dont seem to realize is that Vincent did walrus porn back in the mid-80s. He was hung like a pygmie rhinoceros and would charge jeeps to protect his territory around the small pond he used as a watering hole. He skewered a zebra, then ryan reynolds riding a gazelle, and was kicked off the nature reserve for interfering with a production of National Geographic. He was considered an amateur zoologists nightmare and casual jazzercize instructor as a result.

I am from an Italian American family from NJ and this was my life, our guests would say goodbye in the house then my parents walk them out, and they talk in the driveway for another 30 mins. Brought back memories from my childhood.

Michael, you never fail at bringing on legendary guests! Excellent content, keep it up!

I love how uncensored Michael's interviews often are. It's a refreshing watch!

Michael, This is one of the best sit downs you've had. Vincent is so genuine and you guys sound like you've been friends for years! Keep 'em coming! God bless.

Love this channel, my grandpa (may he Rest In Peace) was a fully blooded Sicilian, had family with ties to the Mob in Los Angeles, my grandma told me a story of his Uncle John, she had dinner with his family and Uncle John demanded my Grandmother sit next to him, she refused, my Grandfather was terrified by this, but his Uncle laughed and accepted her right away. Said my Grandma was tough, thank god she’s still here today with us and all the grand children.

I never watched sopranos but I instantly fell in love with him. This is one of my favourite sit downs so far. Much love to you Michael

Was waiting for this one , Michael !! Thank you for yet what I’m sure will be another great video ! Take care sir …

This was a good interview. Very natural. He's a good guy. It looked like you guys have been friends for years and you were just sharing stories, catching up.

I actually got to meet him shortly after his character got whacked on The Sopranos. We were in the same aisle watching the Lennox Lewis Michael Grant fight in Madison Square Garden and I said "Puss!, I never thought I'd see you alive again." And he said "To tell you the truth, I never thought I'd see you, ever" We had a good laugh and had some fun conversation. Really nice guy!!

I have 25 min left of this sit down still and it’s already my favorite sit down. I’m late to the party I know but I watch every single one of your videos and this is awesome.

Michael thank you for this amazing sit down.

I absolutely loved this interview. I'm happy you guys were able to put this together. I've seen The Sopranos many times. And it's nice you've made the effort to continue making content on it. On another note, maybe someday you and Joe Pesci could get a meeting on the books. It would most certainly be an amazing sit down.

This guy is wonderful and Quack Quack is well suited to his natural way he is …so good to watch…..thanks Michael let’s have more of Vincent….please

I could see the fascination and respect in your eyes for Vincent. What a great sit down, Michael. This one had me laughing and also appreciating the reminiscing of what life was before my time.

Amazing content Michael! Bless you and your amazing family! 🙏 These videos are amazing

Another fantastic sitdown, Michael!! I cant thank you enough for all the hard work and countless hours you have been putting into this podcast, seriously. Thank you!

I loved this sit-down! Very interesting to learn the different things Vincent Pastore has done in his career. Of course, I have to say I miss James Gandolfini! Loved the Sopranos!!

Michael, you're a very inspiring guy. I'm an actor trying to get my start and I never had a great relationship with my father--some of the advice you give fills some of that gap sometimes. Thanks, love the vids Mike.

Love your content. Looking forward to upcoming series.
