loved the show , the man was made for the part in that show , his cold rolling eyes and commitment to be a family man in society football goals always confused me as a teenager but many years later I seen his struggle
I had an actor friend that said he modeled a character for a play after me, but little did he know that I got my demeanor from watching Ed O’Neil play Al Bundy for the most part of my childhood into my late teens. MWC was easily my favorite show throughout the 90s, still love it to this day.
Never forget the day in 1966 that Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in a single game for Polk High School, including the game winning touchdown in the final seconds, against his bitter rival Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon for the championship.
Met Mr. O’Neal a few years ago outside a Subway. He’s the kindest man around. He spoke to my wife and I as if we were the celebrities; he was so interested in us as if we were famous. It’s one of the greatest highlights of my life.
I loved Married. One episode that I always remember was when Peg walks in and says "Al I'm home. You miss me? Al: with every bullet so far". Always cry laughing.
A true legend...I doubt that anyone would dare to play a similar role nowadays as O'Neill did in Married with Children! Thanks for another great sit down!

Love Ed O'Neill. One of the things I really love about Michael is his way of interviewing. He lets his guests talk... he doesn't keep interrupting like many interviewers do.
Yeah, but he had to of been getting pretty irritated at being cut off when he was trying to say something. But at the same time, it was mainly because of the lag in the internet connection, because it through the timing off. Which made it seem like they weren't talking when they actually were.

Oh my god. I love Ed O'Neil. I'm currently watching through Modern Family for the first time, I absolutely love the show, and loved him as Al Bundy in Married with Children. What a legend!
On Married with Children I loved the It's A Wonderful Life episode where Sam Kinison was Al's Angel and the family was doing better without Al being born. So he told the angel to send him back because, "they don't deserve this happiness". lol
I just started watching Modern Family. I thought it was a current show. Didn’t realize it already ended. One of the best shows ever right up there with Married with children.
My family on my mother's side was close with the O'Neill's. My grandmother (Virginia Gallagher/Bush) and Ed's mother (Ruth) were best friends growing up and remained close up until she passed. I can remember how proud my family was when Ed and 'Married with Children' became a huge hit. I've never personally met Ed but I've never heard a bad word about him. Great guy!
Dutch is a great movie with Ed O'Neil. That has been my go to holiday movie for decades now after burning out on Christmas Story and Home Alone as a kid.
Another great sit down. I was also born & raised on the Southside of Youngstown Ohio. So, it brings a smile to my face to see Ed O'Neil be in the position that he is. Continued blessings to all.
@@DaxSports1 That was such an awesome show. Loved Loved Loved Ed on that show. This was during a time that American's didn't get offended but laughed instead, We all had a sense of humor, but now, we can't even laugh at ourselves let alone someone else, without it becoming a huge deal. Sad we've lost our freedom to laugh, hopefully we'll get it back. Take care 🙂
Even my dad laughed his a$$ off to Married...and he was a first generation immigrant with english as his second language. One of the few shows we could watch and laugh at together.
I am going to be completely honest Michael Franzese, I am getting a bit tired of all the MOB stories online nowadays...but THIS was absolutely BRILLIANT. Every single married man with kids has a bit of AL BUNDY in them. We all used to laugh at him when we were teens...NOW, I watch the show and realize how REAL his character was....GREAT JOB.
You can tell michael is a hard working, very motivated individual.....even at his age he puts out so much content...i see other youtubers with 4x, 5x more subs saying in videos that they dont have enough time to release content...and here is michael keeping us very entertained and constantly putting out top notch content
Mike you hit it on the head!!! 37 years in Brooklyn and so much has changed. No one says hello, all these yuppies have forced out the good ole folk. Love & Respect mike.
I loved that Ed tried out for the Pittsburgh Steelers the time Joe Green's rookie year. I'm in Pittsburgh, and my Great-Uncle was John Sebastian LaRocca. I worked with Ed on 'Dragnet' revamp series, we talked about Pittsburgh & the Steelers. Didn't know he knew some guys! This is a great educational interview...
Ed's acting in the Miami Vice episode was epic. The final scene with George Benson's "This Masquerade" playing in the background is truly heartbreaking.
Never heard of modern family but married with children is my favorite TV show ever made. AL Bundy sounded crazy when I was young and now everything he said made sense in the show. Real man's man😂
@@glennmartin6688 I'm not American I don't have abc or other American channels in my country. Just some shows from America like fresh prince was also good
Thank you for this fun piece. My favorite episode of Married With Children was when the guys are doing all the electrical work , when Al ( Ed ) made that circuit I literally fell off my couch.
Thank you so much Michael for sharing this with us. What great stories, and the way that you and Ed O'Neill go back and forth. It's as if you guys have known one another for decades. Your RUclips shows have really helped me deal with the passing of my father last December. Your story is inspiring, with a dash of comedy thrown in. I hope you continue to teach and encourage people. God bless.
I used to be a waiter in a restaurant at Disneyland and saw him sitting at one of the tables once. I’ve seen a lot of famous people there, but he was the one that really blew me away. He was such a huge part of my childhood. It was like seeing my long lost, degenerate father. I only wish I could’ve served his table.
Heart of darkness, Guy deep undercover dealing with some really heavy stuff. It’s not just about clothes and the cars, some of these guest actors really made the show. Another great guest for Michael to interview, if he was still with us would’ve been Dennis Farina - he used to be a cop in real life in Chicago . He could probably tell a few stories…
Married with Children is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. The reason why it was so funny is that it was geared for men. All of the jokes are jokes guys make with their buddies and how guys rip on things. That's why the show was offensive to some people. It's a classic. I don't think there will ever be another show like Married with Children.
That was the best interview I have everseen about any subject. It proved that no matter what you do in life or how much money you have we still need each other. I feel good about Ed and Michael.
Don't forget that he scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon

I'm watching for the second time. It is a fantastic interview. Ed O'Niell is amazing throughout. Informative, poignant, and just the kind of guy you would be fortunate to hang out with. And, I am impressed with Mr. Franzese's interviewing skills. The two of you talking together was a joy to watch!
Ed auditioned to play the part of Richie Aprile in the sopranos. That would have been interesting. One of my favourite actors and loved his character in modern family
Can’t find a nicer more stand up guy than Ed O’Neil. Really great podcast. I saw Ed at a BJJ tournament 15 years ago, and had a chat with him. I was a stranger that randomly said hello to him...and he was welcoming and was super nice. Such a down to earth fella. Real refreshing especially in Hollywood.
Me and my dad have been watching MWC together since I was a kid. We’ve seen every episode hundreds of times. Ed seems like such a sweet guy. I’d love to shake his hand some day for all the laughs he and the rest of the crew have given me and my family over the years. My siblings and I just got our dad a football signed by Ed last year. It’s gotta be one of the coolest things we own.
Married With Children is literally one of my favorite shows of all time and Ed's the best. A sweet, honest, strong and respectable man. I love him. He's such a fascinating and criminally underappreciated person.
you know Michael, I watch you talk, watch your demeanor, soft spoken, very polite, its very hard to imagine you being in that life. I enjoy your channel very much.
Michael this sitdown was my favorite so far. I enjoyed listening to the both of you and learning about the neighborhoods and the great food reasturants.
@@Swampyankeehomestead sorry to hear this, hope you have better things now or at least working (everyday) towards it. Our pasts can be a struggle, but not a road block.
I always thought married with children was one of the best written shows and I'm glad Ed confirmed that. Nothing wrong with that. The man executed to perfection and beyond
Who remembers …hmmm hmmmmm hiiimmm…. (Al Bundy humming) Loved this interview👏🏻 I love how Michael never interrupts there are no pauses or interruption it just flows ! Great sit down !
Used to live with my great grandma as a young kid. Every Friday was married with children. She made sure I had 2 hot dogs and a drink for the show and I was glued to the tv. Great memories
I will never forget the great days of childhood when my parents watched Married With Children every week, here in Romania. Me and my brother were watching that as well... those were so good times...
I'm so excited to see this sit down that I'm leaving this comment before I even watch it. Thank you for having the funniest and my favorite TV dad (Al Bunny) of all time on your podcast. And thank you Mr. O'neill for entertaining the hell outta me for so many years.
Wow, I never would have guessed Ed had these stories! My friend’s family fled from Vietnam. His mom could barely speak English, but her favorite show was Married With Children. She would watch it religiously and just get such a kick out of it! Great conversation guys.
My little Irish school teacher grandmother never missed Al Bundy. First time as a grown man that I realized my gran was also a woman. I was so shocked and embarrassed.
It’s so good to see you here. It’s the first time I came across your channel. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you. Stay Blessed Michael 🙏
Grew up in Dublin before moving to Oklahoma at 19 years old. Married with children was a show all my family sat down & watched together as kids. Tnk you Ed.
They get on quite well, would love to see him on again. The O’Neills were Irelands most powerful family in ancient times, very historic family. You could say they were the mafia of their day.
Ed got drafter by the Pittsburgh Steelers, his dad drove him to the the training camp, saw the other big players, then told Ed I don't think this is going to work for you.
Ed O'Neal was the comedy seed planted in me, growing up I watched Married with Children, so many wonderful memories watching him, till this day my friends/family joke around with the no mam meating
'Married...with Children' is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, my personal favorite, and Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy is the main reason why.
This should be "Ed O'Neil from Married With Children"

I'm watching for the second time. It is a fantastic interview. Ed O'Niell is amazing throughout. Informative, poignant, and just the kind of guy you would be fortunate to hang out with. And, I am impressed with Mr. Franzese's interviewing skills. The two of you talking together was a joy to watch!
They were talking like 2 guys on the street. Great work gentlemen.
What i really enjoyed about this interview, it was like old buddy's sharing history through a interview.
Married ... with Children was a great TV Show.
Their intro was really funny.
Love the Sinatra theme song.
Ed auditioned to play the part of Richie Aprile in the sopranos. That would have been interesting. One of my favourite actors and loved his character in modern family
Just trying to imagine him playing Richie cracks me up.
@@GracelessTarnished David Proval did a good Job
Finally, a wife who finishes him off the way he begged for it.
He would have been great!
Ed is actually a great dramatic actor he doesn't get enough credit for how big his range is. Keep up the great work Michael love the shows.
Can’t find a nicer more stand up guy than Ed O’Neil. Really great podcast. I saw Ed at a BJJ tournament 15 years ago, and had a chat with him. I was a stranger that randomly said hello to him...and he was welcoming and was super nice. Such a down to earth fella. Real refreshing especially in Hollywood.
Me and my dad have been watching MWC together since I was a kid. We’ve seen every episode hundreds of times. Ed seems like such a sweet guy. I’d love to shake his hand some day for all the laughs he and the rest of the crew have given me and my family over the years. My siblings and I just got our dad a football signed by Ed last year. It’s gotta be one of the coolest things we own.
Loved Ed as the cop in Disorganised Crime, he is brilliant in both comedic and straight. This was a great sit down.
Married With Children is literally one of my favorite shows of all time and Ed's the best. A sweet, honest, strong and respectable man. I love him. He's such a fascinating and criminally underappreciated person.
To me, he'll always be the guy who scored 4 touchdowns in a single game lol
The Dude abides.
@@matthewjamison Small hands..That was his problem
Some say his knee was down on the game winning td. Ask spare tire Dixon
Not in a season.. in a single game
Ed O’Neil is a favorite. I remember when Married with Children first aired, so honest for a change. He’s a great actor.
you know Michael, I watch you talk, watch your demeanor, soft spoken, very polite, its very hard to imagine you being in that life. I enjoy your channel very much.
Michael this sitdown was my favorite so far. I enjoyed listening to the both of you and learning about the neighborhoods and the great food reasturants.
In the group home as a kid ' Married with Children' kept me sane. God bless Ed ONeil.
I was in a group home. What kept me sain was, well nothing it sucked.
@@Swampyankeehomestead sorry to hear this, hope you have better things now or at least working (everyday) towards it. Our pasts can be a struggle, but not a road block.
@@jjoosneaphh it was a joke. I'm doing quite well. I got through that and its over. Those were crazy places though.
I really enjoyed that sit down..such a down to earth guy, gotta love Ed O'Neill
I always thought married with children was one of the best written shows and I'm glad Ed confirmed that. Nothing wrong with that. The man executed to perfection and beyond
Who remembers …hmmm hmmmmm hiiimmm…. (Al Bundy humming)
Loved this interview👏🏻 I love how Michael never interrupts there are no pauses or interruption it just flows ! Great sit down !
Yes, Youngstown is still very Italian. Great show.
He’ll always be Al Bundy to me! 🤣
dont forget he made 4 Touchdowns in one Game
Agreed, and that's a good thing
Same!!!
The only way this shoe is going to fit is if I nail it to your hoof and it’s shaped like a U.-Al Bundy
Exactly 👍👍
One of my favorite actors thanks for having him on the show
YES!!! The movie Ed is talking about is STATE OF GRACE. Excellent movie!!! Definitely worth an episode of Mob movie Monday.
Used to live with my great grandma as a young kid. Every Friday was married with children. She made sure I had 2 hot dogs and a drink for the show and I was glued to the tv. Great memories
I will never forget the great days of childhood when my parents watched Married With Children every week, here in Romania. Me and my brother were watching that as well... those were so good times...
I'm so excited to see this sit down that I'm leaving this comment before I even watch it. Thank you for having the funniest and my favorite TV dad (Al Bunny) of all time on your podcast. And thank you Mr. O'neill for entertaining the hell outta me for so many years.
Thank you, Michael. May GOD bless you and yours .
❤🕊
I love Ed! Been a fan since married with children.
Wow, I never would have guessed Ed had these stories! My friend’s family fled from Vietnam. His mom could barely speak English, but her favorite show was Married With Children. She would watch it religiously and just get such a kick out of it! Great conversation guys.
God knows what her English is like today
My little Irish school teacher grandmother never missed Al Bundy. First time as a grown man that I realized my gran was also a woman. I was so shocked and embarrassed.
Not that it was a bad thing. Good for you GMA!!!!
What is great about these podcasts is that it's a direct link to a time that no longer exists and that's pretty cool
Awesome interview Michael. I never would've guessed Ed Oneil rubbed elbows with mobsters 🤔
It’s so good to see you here. It’s the first time I came across your channel. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you. Stay Blessed Michael 🙏
Grew up in Dublin before moving to Oklahoma at 19 years old. Married with children was a show all my family sat down & watched together as kids. Tnk you Ed.
They get on quite well, would love to see him on again. The O’Neills were Irelands most powerful family in ancient times, very historic family. You could say they were the mafia of their day.
Ed is the man! Fascinating life, could have watched 10 hours of this, I am sure he has enough material.
Ed got drafter by the Pittsburgh Steelers, his dad drove him to the the training camp, saw the other big players, then told Ed I don't think this is going to work for you.
Fantastic sit down Michael. I never knew how humble and down to earth Ed O'Neill is.
Ed O'Neal was the comedy seed planted in me, growing up I watched Married with Children, so many wonderful memories watching him, till this day my friends/family joke around with the no mam meating
Has to be one of the Best Michael Frans interviews I have watched in a very long time!! Ty Michael!!
THANK YOU- THANK YOU- THANK YOU- THAT WAS ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE INTERVIEW I EVER SAW- ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
