This has to be the best interview I’ve seen of Larry. Thank you to the interviewer for not interrupting him or asking simplistic questions. You can see Larry has regrets and values his family over the life.

[@JamesEnglish]

👍🏼

[@Trav81888]

Agreed 110%. Larry’s best interview so far. Gonna be hard to beat this way. I give it up to Vlad for getting Larry’s first major interview to my understanding.

[@PolynesianPrince97]

@@Trav81888 what I like about Larry is he doesn’t embellish his story and is pretty straightforward. Glad to see he doesn’t venerate Scarpa or Linda and realizes that he was just a means to an end.

[@Trav81888]

@@PolynesianPrince97 you couldn’t have said it better. He says it how it is. In this video I really enjoy how he opens up more about the affects of what he did ie: the nightmares the change in his thinking when they happened etc. it was brilliant. I really thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@dinasar_]

Wow, what a life Larry's lived and what a story he has to tell. The best one yet.

Best mob story ive ever heard and what a man, owned what hes done and doesnt glory the life at all, has regrets he knows he has to live with and is making the most out of a situation he had very little choice in being involved in from 17 years old. Maximum respect Larry and wish you and your family nothing but the best 🙏🏽

[@ryang7579]

Could listen to him all day. So sincere and articulate. A great but harrowing story, as they usually are 😂 In my top 5 of your podcasts Up there with seamus Kearney and Sam miller . Keep the high quality guests coming 👏

[@dogsbollox2]

I have read mobster books hundereds of em, and interviews galore. I obviously knew Larry Mazza's that was not only your best interview ever but the best I have watched anywhere. You know when the interview is good when the guest does all the talking. Well done James.

[@CeltiChris]

Hands down the best one yet. Could listen to Larry yap all day man! ... Definitely need a Part 2 and more!

[@gangbangmadafacka]

THANK U GUYS FOR THE INTERVIEWER AND HIS GUEST! one of the best mafia storys in podcast ever! thanks

[@Trav81888]

2:05:19 “There is a reason the windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror”. That’s a big quote in the rooms of 12 step programs. Rock on. This episode was great. It’s definitely Larry’s best interview

[@JamesEnglish]

Thanks

[@Trav81888]

@@JamesEnglish thank you Mate. And thank you Larry for a great interview. It takes two to tango James. You did a wonderful job letting Larry talk and asking excellent excellent questions. Cheers to you James

[@Shredorbread]

Wow, what an interview and what a story! I only discovered your channel recently James. Love everything I’ve heard so far but this one is hands down my favourite. What a guest! Larry has had a chequered past (his own words) but what a man. Fascinating story and a great story teller. Despite his past and what he’s done, I wish this man all the best in the future and hope his message is heard by whoever needs to hear it. Superb!

Larry is a real gangster, polite, helpful, humble but would switch your lights off in a heartbeat, he’s the real deal.

[@gunnerdetroit]

Larry is one of my closest friends and one of the greatest gentlemen I've never known. We are like brothers. One of the best guys I know. A rare breed. And if he needed me to have his back, I'd be but his side. I trust him on that level. Funny how you trolls are. Everyone is a gangster on a keyboard these days. Probably a video game geek in a basement somewhere

[@gunnerdetroit]

@@vaulthunter6961 yes I'm proud of that and don't GAF about what he did. Total character? You're a YT troll who never cracked an egg. Me and Larry did shit you would be terrified to even THINK of. So maybe check yourself and your character. We all know the character of YT trolls. Weak. Small. Nothing. I did 13 years in prison. You can't imagine my character. Enjoy the troll. Maybe look me up

One of the most interesting interviews James. Larry Mazza is fascinating.

[@JamesEnglish]

Thanks

[@richardgallagher4880]

"Nobodishhh got aiiidssshhh!"

[@ryansnr]

Love listening to Larry 👌 good to see him back on social media again. I know he took himself off it there a while back. Greg Scarpa was one of the most notorious gangsters out there, and Larry was his wingman. His story is fuckin crazy, to put it mildly.

[@aliciafrance459]

Love the way you interview James and this was another great one... Could listen to Larry for days

[@JamesEnglish]

Thanks ❤️

[@Bronx61]

Wy do you talk with your nose 😂​@@JamesEnglish

[@memphiswaspmafia]

You didn’t notice how he referred to Linda and Greg Sr as “being crazy” or “nuts”? He said that about both of them more than once too. Idk man, he loved them both tremendously & viewed Scarpa Sr as a father figure. If he thinks Linda & Greg are crazy then I wonder what he thinks of Larry… Larry Mazza is an awesome guest for podcast to have. With a guest like Larry you don’t need to be a great interviewer or come up with a bunch of “great” questions. All you have to do is ask them to tell the listeners their story and then you can sit back and enjoy the show. I could do without some of the bizarre questions he asked, like “so, would you do anything for Linda?” Maybe on the surface a question like that might seem normal, however, in this case that question was really random and weird. It makes me curious about what goes on in this man’s head. I’m imagining how most content creators would prepare for an interview with a figure like Larry. For me, it’s a really strange question to want to ask. It’s an interview with a former made member of the Columbo family. Larry isn’t a super famous mobster and the biggest reason is due to him becoming involved in the life towards the very end of the golden years of American Cosa Nostra. What makes a guy like Larry so special was his connection/relationship with Greg Scarpa Sr. Scarpa is hands down in the top 5 most feared men in Cosa Nostra history. If I met someone that feels that Scarpa Sr was THE most feared gangster of all time, there’s a lot of people that would agree with that. Anyone that considers themselves to be a mafia historian would know that there aren’t a lot of interviews with people that were the right hand man for a super infamous mobster like Scarpa. The material is priceless. You could make movies out of several of Larry’s stories.

[@Rokcie]

Slowly working my way through all the Anything Goes podcasts & it's really hard to choose a fav so far but this one is right up there... let's be honest, many claim to be or know a plastic gangsta (or twenty lol) Larry certainly comes across as genuine, authentic, honest & proper old school, rare qualities that cannot be faked for decades or bought 💖

[@Johnnyrocks34]

He took a shot gun and drove up next to guy and shot him in back of head blowing his brains out. U call guys like that stand up guys? I dont care how u rationalize it. Im interested in stories. But praising guys you never met who murdered many people is just bizarre to me

[@grahamgibbins8071]

Nice one for this James. I enjoy the mafgia stories from Sammy the Bull and Micheal Franzes but Larry's comes across as the most Humble of all of them and that's why I like his stories.

[@JamesEnglish]

Thanks

[@gunnerdetroit]

The same way Larry did stuff to impress the girl and Greg, the recognition and praise, it's was the same for me with my uncles and cousins. The praise they gave me fueled my ego. The deauder I acted the more they seemed to like me. It was my downfall. Ended with 13-50 years in prison. But I flipped it on them and turned it around. Wroye 9 novels. Fell in love. All while still in prison. Today my books are being called "the next Godfather." Look me up .

John pennissi, franzese is good but he doesny tell many of his own stories cause he was more racketeer. The guys who wear sunglasses indoors and start bragging about murders i turn off right away cause they re lieing. So many liars on youtube. My theory is im from new york and know when someobe is real but someone from down south might believe whatever these guys say. Worst is Alite, i listened to that guy for 15 min and turned him off and never listened again

Joey is the f’ing boss of the Philly mob and it’s f’ing awesome that he did it. What’s great about Joey is he doesn’t give one F about what anyone thinks or if New York had a problem with him doing this and his podcast. Joey has always marched to the beat of his own drum.
