You gentlemen are intoxicating.
Iāve enjoyed this podcast so much.
First Iād like to tell joe that youāre life has been so interesting. I appreciate how hard youāve worked threw your careers, I do have many questions for you:
1st: while being Donny was there anytime during that time that you felt sympathetic for the mob wifeās or children knowing that at the end of the bosses life that they would be left without their fatherās?
2nd : in all your fbi career did you ever work with a female undercover agent?
3rd: what was the hardest undercover job you did?
I wanted to say that Iām very impressed by your life.
Mr Rossi,
I believe that your directing style is amazing. You crack me up. And you have an amazing personality.
I want to thank you you putting this podcast together.
Iām a female veteran, and 40th old and still welding as a career, Iāve always been intrigued by both sides of the spectrum law and mafia lives.
Thank you again.

After I heard Joe being interview on the Pretend podcast, Iāve been binging on this podcast for the last two days. I love the friendship between you two. You guys are great. Keep doing what youāre doing.

Joe is awesome
If I had a dollar for every time i yelled āLeo, shut UP!ā, I would be sitting on a beach in the Caribbean and my 28 year old girlfriend would be getting me drinks.

Get a new host
Leo steps all over Joeās stories. Step back a little. Let the man talk.

Listening to joe
Listening to joe puts you in the moment without having to be in harms way. He is so good at telling the stories of what happened and the stories are riveting. He tells the stories with such detail, that you can see the scene. Great podcast, so glad I found it.

Commercials is the only negative
Love the conversations.
I get commercials are a part of the financial model, and am certainly supporting having commercials included.
It seems that this series has too many of them.

Great storytelling
5star. Great stuff. Joe telling detailed stories on specific scams and happenings is worth starting another podcast
Thanks for a great product

Fascinating and Informative
An excellent program with interesting guest, fascinating conversations, and unbelievable stories.

Great show
Great show, Joe is a fascinating guy and they bring really interesting guests on pretty regularly. I could do with fewer Leo stories - he works in the fact that he wrote the first script for Gotti and that he goes to mass every day at least once an episode. Other than that, these guys really do a great job.

EXCELLENT!
I love this podcast!! So interesting to get into the inside of the mob and FBI!
Missfrog25

Joe and Leo are fantastic!
This podcast is so interesting and the friendship dynamic between Leo and Joe makes it even better. Joe is an absolute legend and the way he recounts his memories with such detail is incredibly impressive. Listen if you want insight into how the old school mob operated and lived.

Great job Joe!
I just found this podcast and listened to all available episodes in two afternoons! It brought back a ton of great memories from stories Iāve heard you tell over the years.
Joe, youāve always been a good friend and my mentor in this undercover thing we love so much. Take care and keep telling the stories from your rich and unique history! Steve D.

Best podcast

Awesome Listen
I finished all the episodes in 2 days. Only criticism is I wish they numbered each podcast to make it easier to find which episode I need to listen to next.

Hands down 1st round KO to all contenders.
Let me first say (and you might call me a nut) but I have seen Donnie Brasco no lies over 600 times. I sleep with the TV on and go to sleep with my favorite movies playing. I drift off and if I wake I might start another movie from my list (list in my head). Sometimes I will watch the same movie for 2 or 3 weeks and no other in the rotation. Of late Donnie Brasco has been going for over 2 weeks. There are nights where I might watch the whole movie and crash on the 2nd (Goodfellas, All 3 GFās, Bronx Tale, yada yada) movie.
Due to Covid I have been work from home since March 2020 but even at work I always have one beats pro or Klipsch in and Iām listening to podcasts while I work (during football season itās strictly football pods, Sirius XM fantasy, etc.) but about a week ago I heard a commercial for this Pod and itās on me, but ran through the whole Pod in 2 days. It takes a strong Podcast to get a week out of me because I switch around but I took to this pod like a fiend.
No other type of media have I ever felt like I was just sitting there watching Joe & Leo reminisce. The entire show from the front of the house to the back, working in unison and providing the audience with perfection.

Great great show! Canāt wait for 2021
Canāt wait for the next set of episodes!! Hereās a thought, now that The Bulls out and has his podcast, wouldnāt it be an unbelievable conversation between Mr. Pistone with Leo facilitating the conversation? Especially the Castellano hit. Youād have both sides. A top top dog in the Outfit/mob and the top top undercover, that would be indescribable. God bless you both!!!
my windy city
Excellent
I can visualize what Mr Pistone and his family went through . I spent 25 years as a 2,grade NYPD detective. After listening to the podcast and watching the movie, it all comes to fruition. Excellent job by Mr Leo Rossi Spelling out all the details. Bravo

Deep cover
Absolutely the best podcast I have ever listened to. Joe Pistone is truly a hero with huge balls. What a job he did. Bravo!

On the fence
I like the show , but Iām still on the fence if pistons is a good guy or not . On one hand he put lots of bad guys in jail and on the other , he betrayed a group of guys that trusted him . I love mob stories and pistons donāt give a sit west I think lol so Iāll listen any way .. thanks for the show guys

Leo Donnie and Joe the warden
Totally totally fascinating interview between three guys that really know whatās in the soup. Again I just have to say Joe Pistone is one of the great American heroes in law-enforcement. Thank you Joe, and thanks Leo! You guys always bring the goods.

Really Captivating
Excellent job on this show!

You probably know what to expect but,
Itās still gripping. Interesting, entertaining men chatting about an incredibly thrilling adventure in an FBI agents career. Itās like being invited to lunch in little Italy w/ some well seasoned locals telling you secret stories.

Deep Cover
This is a must if you see or have seen the movie Donnie Brasco. Enthralling. This is a true inside look on how the New York mob worked. Not a Hollywood made up story.

Love the story. So intriguing. Canāt imagine living that life. Really have to be one or two steps ahead at all times or it could cost you your life. Wow!!

Captivating
A friend suggested this podcast and after I started, I couldnāt stop listening. After I got all caught up I found myself anxiously waiting for the next episode. Life is truly stranger than fiction and Joe and Leoās banter make this a wonderful podcast.

Fascinating stories. That said, Joe Pistone deserves to get clipped.

Donnie Brasco
Besides knowing Joe personally, I thought the podcast was down to earth, all real and very informative
Great podcast, being a close friend of Joe makes it 100x better. A true Hall of Famer in the Law Enforcement world. Joe is the GOAT. Keep the series continuing!
The shows keep getting better and better. Its an eye opener and you cant beat first hand info
