Huge thank you to Joe for taking the time to share his stories! If you're ever in Boston check out his tour here bostondetectivetours.com
The full uncut version later pls?
You went to Boston? Dude good on you. Its a rough city. Spent a lot of time downtown. Played metal shows in one of the churches. Weird experience. Playing metal in the basement practicing and a fully robed catholic priest walks in. I stopped cause I fealt weird. He was totally cool with it. We were playing a song called "shampoo bottle penetration" I don't think he knew this but lol I sure as hell did. Great city.
Now this is interesting. Much respect sir. 👍
Thank you for your service and your honesty Joe! Very eye opening...I also had no idea the harsh areas of Boston looked so much like Los Angeles. God bless you, from Saline, Michigan.
Are you back in my Hometown?!? MIKE!! If I knew where you were I would take a quick drive right over there❤
This dude was SO happy to have somebody to just talk shop with ALL. DAY. LONG.
He's one of the good ones and we need to hear their stories! So much wrong, so much mistrust, all over the world, we need the good stories. It gives me hope for us, without the good, we have no hope 🙏
@@roxanneb8844Lmaooooo ikr, way to be wowed by someone who can't let it go. I doubt he told him any of the bad shit that went down. BPD were fkn terrible.
@@roxanneb8844 🤣
@@beevonerdyep right? no mention of southie 🙄🚌
Reckon he just loves the sound of his own voice. Rambles on and on and on and………….
Mike. Me and my bf love u...he just passed away on the 20th i still yell for him and hope his ghost is watching with me everytime u post ❤thank u😢
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I’m sure he’s watching every video with you. 🥰😇
RIP and my condolences ❤❤❤
Sorry for your loss 💔
So sorry.❤🙏
Hearing this former detective's compassion for people suffering knowing what desparate people are capable of is really something special. I can't wish enough success and happiness upon this absolute gem of a man.
The way he was respectfully describing the victims, especially the 2 traffucked women that were beaten up that he had to encourage to prosecute. He seems really compassionate and also said that the city and state needs to do a better job at supporting addicts and the homeless. Cops get a bad reputation, but guys like this actually care.
Wasn't it nice to hear him show compassion and understand that if you have all that against you, how are you meant to move forward without the help and compassion of other's? Most of us are just a few bad happenings( lose you job, get ill etc) from being in a vulnerable position-we don't all have support systems that can or will help,
@@Lil_lioness Most police officers and former police officers are compassionate toward the victims - even if the victims themselves were involved in a crime, and will encourage people to help prosecute bigger and systemic crime. However, there are other cases of shooting a minority person, wrongly prosecuting or convicting an innocent person, as well as outright criming on the part of the police - accepting bribes or being involved with the gangsters themselves.
They always say "a few bad apples". What they need to do, IMnsHO, is to lift the "blue line" thing, and actually report and help prosecute - or at least remove from the force - the criminals on the police force. Moreover, other (smaller) police forces need to stop hiring those who were removed for another police force because of them being a "bad apple".
Hey Mike, I met you and your videos during the hardest time in our lives. As I sat next to my wife during the COVID as she laid very sick not being able to eat or anything. After 5 days I had COVID but was able to take all my meds, she couldn't. We took her to the hospital and never saw her again till she got to the funeral home. During this time I saw All the videos I could. Man your Awesome brother. You helped me cope during this time and till today. My wife passed away August 2020. Continue All the Good things you are able to do and we appreciate you Brother, Love you man 🙏👍🤟
So sorry to hear about your wife 😢
Also, I relate in the sense that Mike/ his informational, educational, intelligent and witty videos have also been helping me to cope with getting out of a Narcissistically Abusive Relationship, the passing of my 17 year old German Shepherd Rottweiler, Abbey, the loss of my home I lived in for 14 years (forced to sell due to pre-foreclosure due to the abusive relationship) and while at the vet, saying goodbye to Abbey, the final day before I needed to be out of my home, the guys that were supposed to just be scrapping my washer and dryer, ended up robbing my house (over $3,500 worth of items, plus all of my daily NECESSARY medication)
😮a whole lot of trauma in less than 24 hours.. oh .. AND, my ex was arrested the weekend before all of those events, he was arrested for showing up extremely intoxicated, provoking and harassing me, chasing me around the house, the neighbors called the police and even though there's a stay away order of protection, the cops didn't do anything right then, they said if he comes back or anything else happens to call them back.. 😳 Thankfully my neighbor's wife was at my house when he came back refusing to leave until I gave him a slice of pizza.. The cops were called again and he did take off, only because I finally gave him a slice, I couldn't stand listening to him run his mouth and demand pizza until the officers arrived, they caught up with him shortly after.
I'm now finally healing, or at least trying to. I know I am in a safe place at the moment and he won't be out until at least October because this is his 3rd time incarcerated for violence against me and/or violating the order of protection.
I watch these videos and think, "Omg, some of these cases sound eerily familiar, I am thankful to be on this side watching them. But, certainly if anything ever did happen to me or something happened like the topics in these videos, I would hope to have our amazing Mike/That Chapter, covery my stories 😅
Sorry for the long winded response. I guess I had a lot to say tonight 😅
And again, I truly am so sorry for the loss of your wife, it sounds like you loved her very much. Losing a loved one is so extremely painful, I'm glad you were able to find and use these videos as a coping technique. Binge watching That Chapter is more like self care, less like self "pain"
🙏🏼😔 I hope you're feeling better/ these days and thank you for sharing a piece of your story and strength with all of us.
💌Many blessings your way 🙏🏼
So sorry for your losses, both of you. ❤️🩹
So stories of gruesome murders comforted you instead of fond memories of your wife. Sick...sick.
@@roxanneb8844 90% of "stories" here are made up. People looking for attention from strangers rather than speaking in person to people who might really care or call out their BS.
@@roxanneb8844 It does sound a little make-believe doesn't it?
I really appreciated how he let his guest speak and didn’t interrupt him or speak over him.
Didn't get a chance lol
@@xtina6569 😂 the camera did it for him, just fades out and cuts to a new clip mid-sentence lol
@@roxanneb8844 lol you got called out so fast for trolling these comments. Absolutely wild that people are this bored and empty. Funnily enough you helped Mike out by leaving sooo many comments- negative or not- it all feeds the algorithm.
Easiest interview ever, guy was fascinating and Mike barely had to ask any questions. I really enjoyed this format and would love to see more travel interview style videos.
@roxanneb8844 why waste your time watching and commenting?
Rumor has it, Mr. Leeman wasn't a man to play with. He actually solved many and i mean many cases. Did a great job for his city and helping a lot people to get closure. Salute this man
Great guy. He's my neighbor.
Watching here from Ireland 🇮🇪🤗 best wishes to all! 💚
He said 70 people died during that time but I think he meant that we know of
Rudy went harder
I'm sure he's great, but he makes for an incredibly bland interview. I had to really force myself to finish the video, which is new for me with Mike's videos
This is so surreal. I've never thought I'd turn on one of your videos and see you drive by my house I grew up in for 24 years. Insane.
The good old days . It saddens me In a way how boston turned so wealthy that many of us born and raised can no longer afford to live there. I miss growing up in the 90’s in Boston .
Where did you grow up. I grew up on Polk St. In Charlestown. I had family in mishuwam, new town, and the navy yard
@@townie64gaming90 Southie. The corner of k and 7th where they filmed mysteric river at Millers Market... I know tons of kids from charlestown but I dont want to name anybody on here...My half brother was the guys he was talking about who did the safe robberies... he did years up sttate over that... My profile picture on here is taking on Mass Ave and Tremont, literally right by where they parked and had a convo about the homelessness
Imagine my surprise when I turn on the video and the cop is my uncle! 😂
@@RecklessOne11 your uncle put my brother away lmao. That's my half brother he was talking about that did the safe jobs in Southie. Funny af. I'm sure he doesn't hold nothing against him, he did the crime and the time. Seems like a genuine guy.
The hospitality with this one!
He gives tours but takes Mike on a special, personalized tour!
What a guy!
☮️💜
Speaking as a 69 year old with still much to share, it is soo awesome he found " a job" that allows him to share his story to an attentive audience
Much better than guarding a grocery store or gas station, I'm sure!
Is that you in your picture? You have such a gorgeous radiance, must be of very good character to shine with such beauty in your late-60s✨ sorry don’t mean to be weird haha, just think you’re very pretty🕊️🤍
@@MorningStarMidnightSun lol well I have to say thank you, yes it's 4 years old I can't seem to change it to now
@@hillcountry871I see the new one! Just as gorgeous hun, you really haven’t aged a day😉✨
Who's the girl talking )
Mike comes to America and finds the best person to interview. You never fail to amaze. Awesome new video.
What a dynamic young man true legend ❤
Somehow it didnt even click for me that he was in America lol
@@loes3000right? I was like Boston? That’s not America at all 😭
I know Mike did find the perfect person to interview. I like Joe he has seen it all! Boston is so cool but back in the day it was full of crime and mobsters!
Great video!
Not necessarily. There are millions of Americans who would be interesting for a video like this one. You can't diminish others by claiming the one and only person you saw is "the best".
Mike be actually investigating the stories now feels like hes come full circle. From way back at the start when he was 'The Captain', to bringing us the stories, telling them to us, to now actually checking them out and taking us to them. Your growth has been exponential, 'This' Chapter is what I've been waiting for from That Chapter
The conspiracy captain! 😂 I remember that hat, and when he wore glasses 🤓
I forgot about the captain! 😂😂
Nothing weirder than this video legit starting with Mike driving into my hometown and a detective talks about the stories I grew up with
I'm a Bostonian. Born in Jamaica Plain, grew up in Dorchester, went to school in Roxbury. I am 60 now and I lived through all this history.Joe is real and wicked knows his $hit! Thanks Mike!
Shout out JP I was raised Savin Hill ✌️✌️👍
I'm 47 no spring chicken lol ...JP I. Tha house ...place all expensive now!! Huh??
WoW !
Sullivan , such an Irish name ☘️
@bleebleeblahblah didn't u mean "Sully" I spent my life in Dorchester/Brockton/Randolph don't remember any Sullivan's..only Sally's! LOL ✌️✌️✌️
Spell check I meant I only knew "Sullys" lol ****
He's the type of guy you have small talk w at a bar, tell him "yeah ill stay for one more drink" and before ya know jt, you closed down the bar and you're now at some dinner at 5am having breakfast. He has so many stories, has done so much yet he seems like just a regular old Joe. I'd love to sit down w someone like him and hear his stories. Bet he has some awesome advice mixed in there too, even if he doesn't realize it.
I know a couple of places that would be great for that- Beacon Hill Pub voted worse bar in Boston 1985. memories😊
Mike - I would honestly love to have more of these eps interviewing retired detectives (even private detectives if you find one with interesting stories)!
Spend a day on the dark web and youll have better stories
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 yeah possibly but no thanks. lol. One of my cousins used to play around on the dark web. It didn’t end well for them.
It’d be great if he was never actually a cop & he’s just such a huge That Chapter fan that he had to find a way to hang out with Mike 😂 but he’s 100% the real deal and apparently a really good dude too
I just took this guy's tour yesterday and it was awesome! He obviously was very dedicated and very good at his job. His stories were great!
He told me that some people on here commented on his accent and how fast he talked. As a Bostonian, I thought he talked totally normal! Ya gotta keep up, Kid! We got things to do and places to go!
When the guy mentioned the wife's life insurance policy I honestly expected Mike to start doing the dance right in the CAHR 😂
What a great idea! Retired cops doing tours is brilliant. Spent a week in Boston on vacation and it was one of the best
When I saw the thumbnail, my first thought was, “Oh cool, Mike and his dad are visiting Bahston”. Is it just me, or is there a strong resemblance??? What a cool thing for Joe to do, provide a tour for people interested in true crime…and who better to do it than the guy who lived it! Great episode, Mike!
Bawhstin
The military photo of the officer looked just like Mikey!
The way I read this in a Boston accent lol 😂
dahtz wickid pissah
There are a lot of Irish decendents in Boston, so, ya know
Its nice to see an older man like him having sympathy for people struggling through addiction.
This is the same guy who was so happy to talk about sitting undercover at the bar and getting guys locked up for buying dimebags in the bathroom, who then also went on about the free drinks he got from his repeat bank-robbing friends whom he never turned in.
LET’S GET MIKE TO TWO MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. HE’S CONSISTENTLY BRILLIANT, INTERESTING, ENTERTAINING AND COMPASSIONATE. I LOVE YA!💕
Thank God Mike didn't leave us hanging today, you're the best Mike don't forget!!!
I'm always around! I'll take some days off now and then but I aint going anywhere!
@@ThatChapterenjoy ☺️
@@ThatChapter Hey, Mike, Ya know I love ya.
Your dedication makes me tingle🤭💗
Even "on vacation" this man is working! Breaks are allowed for content creators! 😂❤
Been watching for years (5?!) The consistency and quality of this channel are second to none, we appreciate ya, Mike!
It's been five? 😮
We love the captain.
It's fire 🔥
Probably longer...@@marycanfield8654
Yep it's 5 years now
I love it when you do these type of eye witness narrations! You go right to the source for the info. You are a natural born story-teller, and you know when to shut up, to allow the interviewee to answer. I've seen far too many other RUclipsrs, that ask their questions, then talk right over the answer. Mike, you are doing a terrific job, and I like seeing you grow as a journalist! Peace
Joe Leeman is a great guy. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city / area, all around really good guy. “Good Guy, Local Guy”
Love hearing Joe's proper Boston accent. Its gold.
I was born in Boston.....sounds like my whole family. Grandpa was a Boston cop. 😁 Irish...of course.🍀🍀🍀🍀☘☘🍀☘
Unfortunately it is fading because of all the transplants to the city. Not a lot of people have this accent anymore :(
@@laurenurciuoli8841 But we know and can hear it. Nothing remains the same. Sadly.
@@roxanneb8844oh cool, you're so edgy with all your comments 😂 where are you from, the mid west? Don't cha know. Don't be so mad because you didn't grow up in a cool area.
You can know all the stories, but when you hear them from a guy that was there, and you drive (even virtually) through the neighborhood, it makes them come alive. I really enjoyed his stories.
First off, love that you are getting around! You remind me of me in a way. I consider myself a lifetime learner and you just strike me as a person with just a thirst of learning new things. Very refreshing to find in a younger man and as someone that provides content on RUclips. Thanks dude! You have a lifetime viewer here. If you have read this and you are a lifetime Mikey viewer give this a thumbs up!
Amazingly done. Loved listening to Joe's stories.
“You’re a lot taller than you look!” Lmaoo that’s exactly what I was thinking as soon as I saw them standing next to eachother !
I thought he said "smaller" I was like poor Mike....
Yeah.
How tall are you Mike?
He did say smaller think he was kiddin
@@roxanneb8844 Looks like you don't have much of anything nice to say to anyone at all on here.
It must be great being perfect ! How does being a jackass to absolutely everyone make you feel good ?
I'll never understand people like you.
Respect for Mike getting out there in real life to do these stories. Take care cause we love ya
We SURE DO !!! ❤❤❤
The way you tell these stories-with such care, detail, and respect-makes every episode deeply moving and informative.
I have a friend like this guy and I love being around people with so many good stories and good energy! I have zero energy lol Great video Mike!
Mike, you're a master story-teller, and it's testament to your confidence and professionalism that you took a back seat and let Joe do the talking. He's got great first-hand stories from being in the middle of things.
absolutely, well said
As someone from Boston this makes me so happy 🥰 not many people left with the Boston accent anymore. You're the best and I love that you took the time to hang out with this guy exploring the city, with a true Bostonian too.
My parents both grew up in Boston and when we'd come to visit from the south we'd know we'd arrived cuz of the accent. It was like walking thru a door.
Why not, what’s happened to the accent?
I’ve always had a kind of soft spot for a Bostonian accent, because, while the similarities may be superficial, it seems to be the American accent with the most obvious likenesses to my own Aussie twang😁
Plus…JFK.
I love the Boston accent.
I sound dumb, even though I'm wicked smaht. And I have an ahlahm on my cah. So stay out of my yahd. Before I bury you in my cellah.
SeeYaLatah bye, cuz.
Love this guy for saying the quiet part out loud! Make Boston great again
Great video, Mike!! Thank you!!! 😀❤
I see Mike. I light blunt. I click
Enjoy my friend!
Yessir
Same!!
@@ThatChapterMike definitely be cheefing lol come to Worcester next ill show u around bro this city got some crazy history we like a mini Boston
As Mike says, 'Devil's Lettuce'!
IM from Boston and its my home forever. Its nice to see a video like this. From your prespective and from the retired cop!
You guys did great with filming in the car and others. Always great videos and so much work put into them. Thank you for all you do!
Boston is my home and I could not be anymore proud! Thanks Mike for covering it's crime! 🖤
looks like 3rd world country
I am going to Boston from Dublin next Friday. Can't wait. I would love to bump into Joe for a chat. He's so cool.
@@KlaunFuhrer-du7fr like most countries, just depends on the area. A few areas are very affluent with a ton of money and the rest are full of struggling souls. Desperation allows exploitation so anywhere with a class system has to keep the majority of people in that bottom class to work. In America we call it "trickle down economics" as George Carlin said - "we're pissing on you". Most Americans don't even realize how bad it is. We're fed so much shit about being the best, but they never go anywhere else to actually compare. We're told how dangerous and broken other places are, while completely ignoring that we're statistically actually one of the most dangerous and broken places.
I too love that dirty water
The quality of the editing here should be a blueprint not just for YT but for feature length documentaries.
Quintessential Boston.
Thanks, Mike.
This is one of the best crime videos I have seen in a long time lots of history and stories!
I LOVE this style of video, Mike!! It was so interesting listening to Joe talk about Boston and his life and experiences!! He seems like such a good dude!! We (my husband, kids, and myself) live about 3 hours from Boston, and I want to go take this guys tour SO bad now 😂❤ Thanks again, Mike (and Joe)!!
Awe Mike, you got lucky finding Joe, he is a wealth of knowledge and it would be awesome if you could get more stories from him. This was a great episode and Joe seems like a sweetheart with a strong backbone!! Love him. Thanks for featuring him.
You never get a crime tour from someone who has actually worked behind the lines, from a detective himself! That is AWESOME!
Love this new interview view. Love you Mike. Thank you to your whole team!
This was great to watch and listen to Mike. I enjoyed Joe's enthusiasm and energy, too. You couldn't get a word in edge wise. 😅 Great editing by the way considering there weren't many pauses. Hope you keep adding videos like this into the mix. 🍻
This was such a stellar video! Thank you Joe for taking the time to give Mike a personal tour of Boston and telling him so many great stories from your career.
This guys tour biz is about to blow up big.
Thank you so much for the effort you put into each video. Doing different things like this, especially coming to the US in general, takes a lot of planning and is costly. I appreciate you spending the resources to do it. Twice a week, I get home and run to my computer to throw on your videos while I cook and it's always exciting to see a new format.
Seeing this man talk about his stories made me very happy. It's heartwarming to see he's got a job like this that he does because of the joy of it. If I'm ever near Boston, I'll go on his tour. Thank you again. Much love from Michigan.
As a Massachusetts native I love Mikes infatuation with my home state lol, I actually live extremely close to the haunted hotel in Concord that Mike made a video about some odd months ago. Keep up the good work Mike! My favorite channel on RUclips for sure!!
Man I love Boston’s accents. I could listen to this guy talk for hours
Said no one ever...it's a disgusting way to talk lol

There u go @Lunabatt !✌️✌️✌️
As a Brit, I have a few favourite accents from around the globe & a Boston accent happens to be one of those. Thank you, Mike, for all the labour you put into making quality content👌✌️🇬🇧🩵
My family is from Charlestown, both parents are from there and all extended family. I have some really great memories growing up visiting there to see my grand parents and Dad. but this man speaks the absolute truth, even as kids you knew everything about what took place in Charlestown. There are a lot of great generations of families that grew up there. ☘️🍀
Great video , as always. Joe seems like such a great person. He’s seen so much and has an amazing gift for storytelling.
My grandfather was a longshoreman from Charlestown, he grew up on Soley St. He was working on the docks during the whole era of gang wars and he had a close friend who also worked on the docks who's father ended up dead in Charles because of union politics. I got to listen to him and his friend talk about their lives in charlestown a year before he passed away and it was so crazy that they lived as long as they had considering all the stuff they saw and lived through. He was and always will be my hero and I am so proud my family has roots in Charlestown. those guys were a Whole different breed !!!
I grew up on Polk St in Charlestown. Moved out 10 years ago. This really brings back a lot of memories
God I miss living in Boston. I've lived all over the country since I left home but Boston is still one of my favorite cities. I hope you had a great time mike.
Why would you miss living here. I dread living here and I was raised here my whole life. Nothing good here for anyone.
Having lived here for the majority of my life, I must say that Boston has quickly become an expensive and undesirable shithole. My monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $2,400 and the quality is subpar. The exorbitant taxes,traffic, crime rates, opioid epidemic, and presence of unvetted & never-ending flow of illegal immigrants all contribute to the city's decline. Governor Healey even expects Massachusetts residents to open their homes to these immigrants. With all the existing issues in Boston and throughout the country, we certainly do not need to add to them by importing more problems.

Mike, I REALLY enjoyed this episode! Thanks!
As an Irish Texan, I have always wanted to visit Boston. So much history and Joe is a character. Would love to take his tour if I ever get up that way again. Wonderful video.
I was a private investigator in the uk for 6 years, loved it loved the lifestyle it kept me young it kept me sharp and gave me a plethora of knowledge
Im a recovering addictvand Dublin is the same today.i am 18 years clean now and no longer homeless but have hiv and hep c, lost my husband but we have a beautiful healthy daughter and we help the homeless with food,clothing,sleeping bags tents and toiletries i will never forget those dark days.
Good for you, my sister! I too am an addict living in recovery for 15 years now, thank God! I had to leave my husband because he was not ready to get sober and we have an amazing daughter, so she and I left to escape the dangerous and unhealthy drug world. We too started to do charity work because I wanted her to be an active and productive member of our city's community. We donated, raised money and she organized a creek clean up at the tender age of 9! She graduated Phi Beta Kappa Magna Cum Laude from UC Santa Cruz and now works with adults with disabilities, helps them find work, apartments and schooling. I myself work with children with special needs (,Autism, CP, Downs etc) and feel blessed to be able to do this work! But as you said, those dark days are never far from my mind and I'm grateful I got out when I did, because I would've ended up in jail or dead. But now, I share a beautiful life with my grown daughter (,26) and thank the powers that be that I survived! Side note.. my ex husband finally got clean last year and is able to have relationships again with his daughters! And he and I have become friends again as well, we forgave each other for our drug addled mistakes and I am able to help him through his struggles to stay sober. I feel so fortunate that we all have a second chance. I just wanted to respond to your comment to let you know there are others out there like you!! Keep up the great work, my fam! ❤
I can't wait to watch after work! Joe seems so kind and knowledgeable! What a great idea, LOVE THISSSSS!!!
I’m Irish but have always adored the Boston accent, it’s what drew me into watching Ray Donovan. Thank you for your service Joe 🫡🫡🫡

How dare you rob us of the life insurance dance!! He said life insurance, you owe us a dance montage!! lol love this channel
Maybe it finally got copyrighted?
This former Boston Policeman’s accent was an instant trigger for me. Complete panic attack. At seven years old, in late 1975, I found myself sitting on the curb in front of Harvard graduate student housing. I was freezing cold, crying inconsolably, shaking uncontrollably while I heard the cops tell my mother to just try to get along better with my step-father, who had just beat s#*T out of her. They did NOTHING. The neighbors who called the cops because I came to their door pleading for help were dumbfounded and enraged at this response. Actually, several neighbors had gathered at this point with the same sentiment. So much so, that these fine ‘upstanding’ irish-American cops threatened to call for the riot unit. Meanwhile, me, just this little kid completely breaking down on the sidewalk and not one cop looked out for me. Fortunately two female bystanders got me a warm blanket and a glass of chocolate milk. My mothers face and chest were bruised and bleeding. Again, all those cops did was send us back inside with this maniac. Domestic violence was clearly acceptable to the Boston Police Department. Please don’t attack this post. It took four years to get away from that creature. Clearly this has left quite a scar on me and my mother and fellow family members.
I love your content. But this has to be my favorite episode you’ve done! Fascinating! Thank you so much
Love the way this video is set up, interview, news snippets, commentary, it’s got it all! Thanks Mike!
I remember watching you when you first started, Mike. Your personality has certainly come shining through over the years. But the quality of your content has always remained high and you just get better and better. I’m loving the channel so much!
I agree 💯👍🏼🎉
Thank you soooo much for this, Mike & Partner! Born in Lynn, retired on the Cape, I love Boston with all my heart and you and Joe told wonderful stories of our Town. There's nothing like the true voice of one who lived it to really tell it as it was and as it is! So glad you love our Town too!
I don’t live too far from Lynn! I love the Cape!!!!!❤❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Great content -thank you!❤
So cool! I love how happy you were when he said you were taller than you look. Appreciate all your work Mike. And thanks to Joe!
I love this new style of investigation you did. Been watching for 4 years.
Great stuff, Mike! This guy made your job easy, put a mic in his face and he’ll regale you with decades of Boston crime history. You hardly had to lead him with questions. The driving segments are great too. Love to see you get some respite from that dark liminal background!
Love how you are expanding the channel and doing different stuff to keep it fresh but still on theme. Take care of yourself.
This was just fantastic! So intriguing to hear stories by someone who was deeply involved and has decades of experience.
Joe seems to be a real genuine and wholesome guy especially having done the job he did. Super swesome video and a very welcome variety. Big up from Germany!
I'm from MA and even I love hearing this stories!
Thanks for continuing to make our Tuesdays & Fridays this much better, Mike! Love ya, and have a great Weekend! 😃
This is the best interview I have ever heard. Interesting and fun! Smoothly edited and just amazing how you really just let him spill out his stories. Do more like this!! Please!
Love these types of videos , mike !!!
Thank you 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Joe is the kinda guy I'd like to get stuck in a lift with for hours, I could listen to his stories all day! Great vid Mike 👌
@@roxanneb8844 You're such a pleasant, breath of fresh air. How do you keep so positive with such good will towards others?
@@crowmedicine3890That person has left nothing but rude, nasty comments on most posts. Even derogatory ones about Mike.
I'm unsure if they are a Troll or just a nasty, vindictive person.
They don't belong here
@@ginnybloomer5132 A miserable person with nothing better to do than try to bring negativity here. Sad.
Grew up outside of Boston, this is a treat ! Let's gooooo !
Loved hearing some of Joe's many stories & experiences. Thanks for sharing him with us Mike.
Another awesome video! Thank you for interviewing this delightful former detective!
Also, I love Boston and its food, the weather, and I’m so glad you got to show the rest of the world this beautiful city!
The coming together of these accents are beautiful. Loving the in person work!
@@roxanneb8844I imagine that's something you would be a Master at.
Troll be gone!!
What a great episode! You never know when you're walking around, just how many people have cool stories to tell of their lives.
This is a brilliant watch - one of the best I have seen. Thank you from Australia!
This is amazing. Interesting perspective and stories he has. My father was the arch nemesis type to this man, his ultimate antagonist. Bank robber from South Boston, petty thief, in juvenile by age 15, small time marijuana etc. We always joked he had a self imposed life sentence. But, man was he amazing and loved by us. Born and died in the streets of Boston, ultimately of a drug overdose in Roxbury about 30 yards from Mass and Cass. His accent and stories remind me (of the otherside) of my dad's stories. RIP Dad
I love hearing a true boston accent. Hate the fake ones on tv. I love Boston, i live on the cape. I love that u come here mike 💚
You’re in my neighborhood Mike. Southie. ☘️☘️ Joe arrested me in 2001. 😂

Absolutely loved this video!! 😍 Joe's storytelling and just getting to tag along on the ride through Boston in combination with Mike's narration to tie everything together! Amazing work!! 🙌
This was an amazing interview. I grew up near Boston and the city has such an incredible history. Joe is captivating at telling these stories, this man needs his own RUclips Channel! I will certainly visit Joe's Tour next time I am in Boston.
I hope Joe Leeman is watching this episode right now with his family in Baww-ston 😂 he shud be real prouda himself and I’m delighted he gets to use all his years of knowledge and experience for others enjoyment doing his tour… loved the different typa episode here Mike, I’m already buzzing for Tuesdays… much love from Dublin ❤️🇮🇪
