It’s an unbelievable hour on The Joe Pags Show! Joe dives into the NBA gambling scandal shaking the sports world — and who better to explain it than Michael Franzese, former caporegime of the Colombo crime family and one of the most fascinating figures in modern mafia history. Franzese gives insider details on how organized crime still operates today, why the mob always finds its way into sports betting, and how his family managed to stay out of this latest scandal. It’s a jaw-dropping deep dive that connects the dots between power, money, and corruption in sports — straight from someone who lived it. Plus, Joe rips into Gavin Newsom’s latest attempt to play “man of the people”, calls out AOC’s unhinged mic rant, and laughs off talk of Curtis Sliwa stepping down — Pags says, not a chance. It’s fast, fiery, and full of real talk — an hour that’ll keep you hooked from start to finish! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
