"When you start making money, don't tell anybody"
If you are either in that life or an associate, and you don't report what you are making, your time on this earth is limited as soon as they find out
If I was rich from legal work I would not tell anyone about it either. I wouldn't drive a fancy car or wear fancy clothes because I become a target to criminals.
@@HamiltonRb Yea but in that case you are reporting up to someone who presumably has more money than you. What he's saying is don't brag to the fellas at the bar or the girl you're taking out on a date about it.
That would be hard if you're after respect and respect is given on the amount of money you make.
@@TheNetherwalker Well it is bigger than just not bragging about money you made. He was called to a sit down with Persico because word got out he was not kicking enough upstairs, so if you are making money and not reporting it, you get a bullet
Michael franzese is like that friends dad who was wild in his younger years but everyone wants to come to for life advice and positive encouragement
I totally agree about Michael Franzese
Yea, but he's THE guy, not JUST SOME guy...
what are you talking about????
How to survive the mafia : Don't join the mafia
Sometimes you don’t have a choice.
@@tcp612ww3 Wish people would have that attitude towards black kids coming up in impoverished areas in this country!!!!🤔🤔🤔
@@jamesanastasia3237 I don’t understand what you mean.
@@jamesanastasia3237 I agree with you lol
and it's still not a guarantee. LOL
“A fish with his mouth shut never gets caught”
I like this saying, 👏🏻👏🏻
until a bear pulls up
Never eats either
@@jamesbernstone2961 Right, lol.
@@jamesbernstone2961 This guy gets it 🤣
RUclips is amazing.
Today I learned:
a meshuggah song on guitar;
how to do outside cleans with kettlebells;
how modulations work on the Pulsar-50 synth;
and how to become a gangster.
tremendous.
💘°
You da man, Breno!
"tremendous"... is that you joey diaz?
Lol
Hey just curious, was this recommend? Were you watching Godfather clips or something? Thats what I was doing and ended up here
thing i love about michael is he isn't one of them guys that tries to walk around talking about how tough he is trying to intimidate the world, he knows he's a bad ass so he just tells the story from his heart. that's a real one.
Don't have any "best friends" in that life.
You sure about that? Pretty sure Jimmy from Goodfellas saved Tommy from getting killed many times
@@Thatguy55595 I think that movie was very loosely based on a true story. By the way, Jimmy wasn't a made guy to save anybody.
@@Thatguy55595 Martin Scorsese took the entertainment liberty made a movie out it not a documentary so you shouldn't be romanticed by fiction, in reality there's no 2 change you got be very lucky and no one's gonna help you cause even they fear for their life
Not many die of old age
tough to have real best friends period. People have agendas, I found one, she's now deceased, my other is my daughter and husband, my extended family I don't trust, they've already done gossiping about me...so I smile and am very limited in any discussions.
I predict Michael will have 300k+ subscribers by end of year and over 1M+ by end of 2021.
I just subscribed
It's coming true
306k now
490k and I'm keeping track
I want that prize
Even though I'm all the way in south africa. Then dollars are worth big money here
And I love this mob stuff because as immigrants to sa we behave identically as a community. It's bizarre
541k now
One can use those same 5 traits to be successful in life, not only “That life”.
Huh? Explain the 25%. Ha
Sounds JUST ABOUT Like General rules of Lifestyle LIVING TO ME..
I think he means dont trust anyone.
@@Pleasurechest985
RE: "Huh? Explain the 25%. Ha"
It's called the income tax. Whether it's Al Capone or Wesley Snipes, if you don't pay Uncle Sam his "vig", you're going to get busted.
@@Pleasurechest985 If you’re posing that question to me, I was referring to the don’t be greedy trait. Greed is a horrible trait for anyone to have. If you’re posing it in response to the advice @Michael Franzese’s father gave him. 25% goes to the family, 75% goes to the person doing the work to “Earn” the money. I believe that was what he meant anyway.
Keep your word. My Dad said if you do nothing else in life do that
💘°
It is ok to extort, beat people up, shake down unions or kill but make sure u keep your word
@@HamiltonRb sounds like someone doesn't keep their word
@@HamiltonRb shake down unions? Laughable. Genius, they were the unions.
@@JohnDoe-nq6eb They had people in positions of power in the unions, but the members are the union, genius
I just want to thank you for all the great content you put out Mike! It has been really inspirational. I grew up really faithful and through an unfortunate past 10 years or so, I lost my faith due to going through a bunch of hardships that I just couldn't make sense of. You have really encouraged me to try to find my way again and realize that its never too late to repent.
Also, I would love to see another sit down with you and Larry with you as the interviewer!
Never glorify that kind of life. I hope he tells it like it is... evil
Without watching the whole video, I'm sure Michael doesn't glorify it.
If you watch his videos he makes it very clear he is not glorifying that life. He says constantly to stay away from that stuff because it doesn't end well for anyone. There is a moral to every video he does.
@America First Patriot have to agree with you there!
@@umungus518 This is very true of Michael, I can attest for this. He himself constantly says how evil it is and that he does not glorify it. You should check out his site. He's doing very positive and amazing things nowdays. Bless you all and stay safe.
Michael is like John Wick leaving that life because of their loved ones
💘°
Yes, but Wick was pulled back into that life...Lol! Not because he wanted it, but because of the loss of his DOG! Damn...what kinda of low-life kills a man's dog??
And...it wasn't even a vicious 130lb. mauler...its a Beagle...A Fuxing Beagle!! Lol!!
@@ExKUKicker A fucking monster would kill a puppy like that, Ahh knowing John I bet he made that prick pay n then some.
@@stuart73m Haha..Oh, he did...in the end...Lol!
And if you do something that forces him back into the life, watch out!
I tell ya, that Michael Franzese never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Small hands
Carlo Gambino and Meyer Lansky are prime examples of how to conduct yourself.
Tony Accardo in Chicago. Low profile and knew how conduct himself like a man.
Santo Traficante
Well they were ruthless gangsters ..so their not the best examples...if you mean in that 'life'
They prayed on working families. That's how you tell your kids to conduct themselves? Fucking bizarre.
@@nastybastardatlive yeah that's what I thought...you get in their way ...your dead..the comment would have been better if described within the context of costra nostra
"I sold it for 6000$, I gave it to my captain, I got 600$ back"
wait, that's illegal!
statute of limitations ;)
I don’t think a $6,000 sale of meat in 1973 was a legal or illegal priority of his lol

STILL DRINKING THE RIGHT WING KOOL AID
Think he's overdosed on it!!!😆😆😆
@@jamesanastasia3237 yeah i agree.
but the left wing koolaid is considered a part of healthy diet. I'm a libertarian and no Trump fan, but let's not kid ourselves about your favorite flavor of koolaid-- it scares me far more.
@@kevinm1728 well from my own point of view the extremists from the right wing are what you should be concerned with!!!Trump is part of the far right that it seems the Caucasian’s are gravitating too!!! Even those who choose their skin color over their own best interests!!!(Obamacare,Free college tuition,wealth taxation)
“Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone-especially to those in the family of faith.”

Have a great weekend everyone.
Hey Michael ! What a great video sir. As I posted on your website , these lessons carry over into most any aspect of life. I really liked this one. As always, thank you for your time and my love to the family.
I just joined your free ‘Michael Franzese crew’, from the link in the description.
Thank you. Lots of great information !
Very Machiavellian Mike...my favorite is - never stay neutral, both sides will hate you and you’ll always lose, pick a side...always enjoy your posts, keep them coming
I always love your optimism, cheers me up.
Michael, Your video of the 5 characteristic traits of being in the mob also applies to the life in general. Think about it, everything you described I can think where these traits are used in places such as the corporate world, the military, certain relationships, and life in general. Please keep producing these videos. They are live lessons of life.
I was thinking the same thing; it’s humans with, on, versus humans, etc.
You've been providing me with content during quarantine and making life easier. Highly appreciated.
thank u for the amazing and interesting content Mr Franzese , it has helped me so much with being at home during this lockdown
That’s the sad part, there’s no old timers around to set things right!
Less and less stories too
💘°
well apparently mike's mentor andy russo who is now reputed to be the boss of the colombos has said that so long as he is alive there is going to be a cosa nostra even if it means it has to return to what it was supposed to be ie an old boys network just there to look after italians who are being pushed around by WASPS.
@@axgreenious9400 Relax. Wishing ill on another person is never something a man should do. Only sensitive douchebags do that.
I always enjoy Michael’s commentary, he’s very down to earth and isn’t arrogant about his former life. He’s a good example of someone that’s gotten his act together and is trying to warn others about the pitfalls of leading a criminal life. I look forward to more of his broadcasts and God bless him as well. 😊🙏❤️
"Anybody who has come out of the shadows...they suffered and they're gone." I'm glad it didn't turn out that way for Michael.
“Be careful how you talk to people you don’t know” could be one
He covered that in #2. "Insulate yourself"
Michael's community is pretty good. Well moderated.
Cause we'll get whacked if we get out of line 🤐
@@amstel5468 LOL, nice one.
Yeah we don’t want no cement shoes 🤫
It's cause we end up getting whacked. I still respect my Boss tough
What’s the free gift ?
What started out a year ago and an interest about you and your experiences in the La Cosa Nostra life now finds me a real fan and always looking forward to your postings and what you have to say. None of us are perfect human beings in this life but by your example, you show that it is possible for someone to change for the better. You always have a positive message and a lesson in your posts here. From one Michael to another, thank you!
“ Don’t trust anyone”....It doesn’t just apply to the mob life ;
If you’re smart in any kind of life you live, you don’t trust anybody not even your closest friend your longest acquaintance your best buddy,
not even your own family.
Don’t trust anybody, you can never be sure when they will turn their back on you
and judge you
and hurt you
and alienate themselves from you.
Don’t put yourself out there, guard your heart…
Don’t trust anybody .
Michael,
Would you ever do a Ted Talk? I know the world would appreciate it.
Michael Franzese it’s a talk about any topic you want , less than 18 minutes in front of a TED audience. There’s a bunch of them on RUclips. TED is a non profit. But doing a TED Talk will put you under a very special light , that even more people will know about you.
@@michaelfranzese they’re lame! Just so what you do
@@Arlong1776 😂
@@michaelfranzese yeah michael there lame continue doing what youve been doing
Your very positive in light of the world crisis. Thank you, you help me to stay grounded.
Guys be polite, I’m sure Susan Parker knows the grammar. “Your” is just a voice-to-text typo, she meant “You’re”.
Thank you Michael Scottland for the correction in my grammar.
Best trait to survive that life is to not get involved In the first place haha
Or roll the dice-
i strongly believe that those guys are just born into that so called life ..normal people like myself would'nt have a clue oh i am a plasterer or i play drums yeah get the fuck out of here just saying
Absolutely. Stay away from that life. Period!!!
And because you are going against all of God's laws and principles. In the mob life you will always be on the losing end. Go God's way, that's the best way to live and get to heaven. Amen
All 5 of those traits prove useful to utilize in everyday life as well so I can only imagine what an integral part that they would play in mob life. Great stuff! Keep it coming!
Almost at 300k. Keep it up Mikey! Your killin it! Ive been a fan awhile now, i might finally go check out your site rather just your YT vids/Interviews. Much love ~Newells Finest
I see a Michael Franzese notification I drop everything like a bad habit!!!!! 😶
Lol Same here. I love his videos.
a good habit. 😄
Your closing comments about democracy and about being on the street are “POWER” 💯
Incredible video Michael!!!
I really enjoyed your visit with your family. Hope to see more. Thanks Mike!
This dude is always so uplifting in the beginning I love it
I love how Michael always says not to get into the "life" but he gives straight up directions on how to live that "life" lol
I think most of what he says applies to life in general.
If you think he is totally out. I truly don’t believe. He talks about knowing a lot about them still and knows who’s who. I don’t you get that info without associating with mob life
well he needs the views dont he?
Just don't join the mob or associate with em and you'll have an even bigger chance of surviving.
@AC8 HD In 2020 there's no excuse of joining the mob or any gangs. There's too many ways of making honest living. Fuck this street life nonsense.
@AC8 HD the street life where people are forced into a life of murder, extortion or intimidation of others? That life? Fuck outta here with your bullshit.
@@daimo_4750 no but if you’re somebody coming from nothing and you see an opportunity to be successful, it’s hard to say no. Everybody doesn’t have the opportunities that you did...
@@everglide15 what opportunities did I have?
@@everglide15 it excuses nothing. I came from a working class background and got a decent paying job, so what, I never robbed anyone. I never murdered anyone or threatened their families. am I perfect? of course not, but right is right and wrong is wrong. we all make mistakes in life, but murdering other people, or being a part of that, is a pretty fucking big deal. so, while I accept that Michael is being genuine about his repentance, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that he didn't used to be a cutthroat gangster.
I'm on vacation with my family but have to take time out to watch your videos. Hope you and your family had a good Thanksgiving Michael. Salute!
Thanks for that Michael. Think i'll sign up!...
I’ll sign up too!
Have a good weekend Michael
Legend is back ❤️❤️
I know it’s only TV, but I loved this classic line in The Sopranos - “Old man Profaci knew how to split his enemies”. So true.
God bless you Mike. You’re right about “The Life”; I ran an organized cocaine & ecstasy racket and made a chunk of money, took care of people, only to have TWO “friends” sell me out to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics for a pass on their screw-ups. Cost me 2,316 days of my life and I learned that it’s a futile enterprise.
Been working my ass off since my discharge date 10/30/1998. God bless and Happy Holidays
Married a Jersey girl from a Jersey family with no mob connections. Fencing, trucking, construction. My Mennonite family is a plumbing construction laundry family.
🌷HONORABLE
Love the sit down with your daughters..great sit down today
I zoomed as soon as I got the notification
Carmine Persico’s attempted strangulation of I want to say Larry Gallo was the inspiration for Pentangelli’s attempted strangulation in Godfather 2.
I didn't know this. Thanks
@@cuauhtemocmorisco3493 You’re welcome.
Danny Aiello
@@michaelfransleeze2175 Thank you. I forgot to mention the actor who was the strangler.
yeah you are correct.
I am happy I found your channel! You have amazing pointers that are important for survival in general! I am looking forward to learning more on your content!
Michael, thank you for being a positive force in this year that most of us. Would like to forget happened.
first thing i do when i click youtube - look if there is a new Michael Franzese video 🤝
Press the bell to get notifications
Much love from the south micheal. Read your book. It's a really good book. Keep being bleesed.
Michael a trump supporter where the frauds bro stick to yout mob tales god bless him
Another great video for learning! 🙏 Waiting for more!
Grande Michael Franzese! I love your style of speaking and thoughts, keep it going. Would like to meet you someday not to question you but to be around a cerebral man like you. A salute!
Thanks! I’m in the mafia and this video helped me a lot. 😃
Michael love your content! Will you please do Carlitos Way for mob movie Monday. God bless
Thank you, Happy Holidays
awww look at him guiding our mafia youth and giving em tips to survive, good man Franzese
Guess you didnt listen to the video.
Anyone noticed Michael and Sammy been uploading videos around the same time?
Forget abaaaaaat it 🤌🏻
Yes within 15 mins of each other. Though 1 time Sammy did release a vid first 1 tyme
🤣
Could be a MOB VIEWING WAR going on!!!
🤌🏽
🤌🏼
I love your content man and I would love to see what you think of British gangster movies for mob movie Monday
my suggestion would be Get Carter- you can't get much better than this
Micheal I’ll hold your word to that
I always watch these thinking in the back of my mind that even tho everyone can have a interesting life and also exaggerate things, this man really lived 1000 lives. I take everything with a grain of salt, but still shit is crazy.
Hey Mike, have you ever had encounters with the Irish Mob back in the day? And if you have you should definitely cover it and great vid by the way!
Hey Michael Great Videos latley ,
I was wondering If Analyze This And Analyze That Are Gonna Be Mob Movie Monday Picks?
Also Who do you have winning The Mike and Roy fight?
Thnk u for those tips, I needed to hear this because I mentally feel like im evolving as a online gamer rn like im finding myself, I dnt put myself out there alot because I want to keep a low profile etc 👍🏻
Your Vids are uplifting!!! I am definitely a new subscriber and your kindness of words empower me to get through the ruffest times... I say thank you to you for caring for those that need to hear your voice...🙏
Michael Franzese and Jocko Willink should have a sit down
You know its a good day when Michael and Sammy posted a video at the same time
🌷SAMMY?
@@reese9278 Gravano
I'm ready to give it a shot.
Been binging your channel for last 10 days! Telling everyone I know to follow me down there Franzese rabbit hole! Addictive!
I know it isn't a movie, but have you ever considered reviewing scenes from the Mafia games (Mafia 1 and 2 in particular). I think that would be an interesting shake up for Mob Mondays for one week
He did
On a different channel,he watched some gameplay of the gas stamp robbery
And well,it is twenty minutes of,to be expected,"That is not realistic"
@@KaibaSeto. I actually ended up finding that after I left this comment. It would still be cool to see a new rundown on this channel but thanks for the info!
I've got to hand it to you Michael, you are speaking from the heart. Truth and Wisdom. Of course there is always that one guy or guys, who think they are smarter and sneakier than the law. Forget about it. Not going to happen! I love it when you say "That's It" Those words are FINAL. Anyone who has any "BRAINS" should KNOW THIS!! Of course there are always those less fortunate who are destitute, and just don't have the know how or knowledge to stay away. But the numbers are decreasing, and that is a GOOD THING! Keep up the GOOD WORK, you are
truly a soldier of GOD! Still looking forward to the TV series! Hope you have a say in Directing, to keep it interesting. You know human nature, and can tell what type of person to cast in
a position or a scene. Don't hold back on providing guidance to the producers. This many followers, tells you it will sell.
Michael Franzese is one of those bespoke legends that corrects those inexperienced guys who think they know better and hits the bullseye every time when I comes to sensible thinking. A man with true grit love your channel Michael will always tune in like the listento you. 😎
Love this man right here
Hey Michael a question to you:
When the mob was your life and you had to do what you had to do ;), did you ever lose respect for life?/ did you ever get cold inside, without any regrets about what you did, when you had to do it? And if yes, what brought you back thinking the life of others is respectable?
Hi Michael. Hope you and your family had a blessed Thanksgiving.
You are the best Mike. I love how uplifting you are.
Amazing videos. Thank you for your time and your work.
One way to survive in the mafia say”please,thank you and excuse me”
you are absolutely right. respect is a big thing in cosa nostra. if you are in trouble with them being respectful or giving them money on a regular basis could save your life.
Although I'm not sure how that specifically relates to surviving the mob life, it's more an uncommon sense rule of thumb.
I was thinking "oh you're going to jail Michael"..until I watched the end of the video 😅😅
You are a wise man, Michael. It's a pleasure to listen to you.
Father figure... our goodfella ...I admire this guy...love from greece🇬🇷
Mike on Mondays instead of having mob movie Monday. u should instead show us some photos/memories about what happened that day/week the picture was taken. Just a suggestion ;)
The Boss is back :)
Micheal please don't listen to the haters out there saying this and that, you did what you had to do to have a family life, most of the people are only attacking you because they are jealous and were never your level in the life. How many of those haters would do the same for a amazing wife and family??? All of them, God bless, your message is louder than these "men"
Another great sitdown!!!
Mike..... We need to hear what you know about the Chicago Outfit. It seems that Tony Accardo was the best to ever do it.
It's funny, you say that like Accardo was a ball player or something, like he's the Michael Jordan of the Mob, haha...
@@elliota.1063
I mean...... He kind of was. Not condoning that life, just from a historical standpoint.
The Chicago Outfit is the most interesting to me.
Accardo
Momo
Carlos M in Louisiana
And Santo T in Florida aren't discussed enough.
@@b.g.3073 No, I hear you, Accardo has to be one of the most successful bosses in history. Running perhaps the most powerful mob organization in the country for half a century?
Yeah, he has to be one of the GOATs, even though it's an evil lifestyle and he was probably a psychopath...
Michael what’s the tattoo on ur right arm say?
Marco Felintino probably a number from the proverbs of King Salomon
michael I really liked the interview with your daughters, they have such a high regard for their father! i really want to see your sons.
this man sharing his story is amazing i love this content
The common sense that comes from him is amazing because you just don't hear that these days.
Common sense isn't common
Hey Mike, just wondering if you ever heard of or associated with the Smaldone Family out of Denver, Colorado? Thanks for the videos!
Hi yes I have?
@@michaelfranzese Thank you for the reply Mike! Yes, my step father was an associate of theirs. Take care!
@@DenverBoy1988 I have a friend of mine that does mob tours in the area the family lived in. They meet up at Gaetano’s!
You might know him.
@@DenverBoy1988 Are you proud of that?
thankyou Michael. you the one that gave it all , bless you my man . It's really intriguing to see your eyes and that you just don't like to "play" in life.
These are very good tips to live by. I've enjoyed everything I've listened to since I've been partaking of the content here. Others like to hear all the "juicy" stuff that they can about the life.
I want to gain discernment and wisdom by learning about the finer points of negotiation. The mindset and the psychology thereof.
