@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt yea he was always on drugs or drunk probably til he died. He was on howard stern a lot usually drunk & a documentary pretty recent before he died. Totally drunk in bars. Put it this way ray liotta in goodfellas is much much better looking than him. Lol. That's hollywood .

He actually did tell three times that he saved Henry's life. 1. Not telling Paulie that he saw him doing drugs. 2. Getting him removed from terminal island. 3. Telling him to leave California after he had been spotted.
As someone who has had a long time interest in the mob, I always prefer to listen to Michael Francese's stories about it than other former mobsters, as he never glorifies that life, if anything hearing about how much he changed through his commitment to God and how he used his experience to help others is inspirational
Definitely agree, Michael has the best stories of the life, very interesting and believe everything that he tells us about. I know you're other mob associates disagreed with you walking away from the life but you done it in a stand up way without putting other guys away and have now found God and changed your life around, full respect.
White Rabbit I completely agree. Love mob stories, Ive always been very interested in hearing about that life. Some mob guys you cant tell if they are lieing, exaggerating or telling the truth. Michael on the other hand Ive never questioned one time! And he's great at telling his stories. Frank Colluta was also great at telling his stories. I think its because they give so many details that its easy to envision the situation
Funny.. that's what people said about MLK when he was still alive. At the end of the day.. when has a Civil Rights Activist ever been admired while they were still alive?
Thank you Mr Franzese for the like!!!!! Been a big fan since I seen you in a mafia documentary on RUclips lol God bless Mr Franzese have a good day 😁😁😁
I saw a documentary where Mr. Franzese was the focus. This mans streetwise intelligence and understated eloquence piqued my interest. Today I found his RUclips channel. I’ll be busy watching. Thank you, Mr. Franzese, your honesty about your former life is an inspiration.
Thank you, Michael, for confirming about Al Sharpton what I've always known. Sometimes you look at/listen to a guy like Sharpton and just get that feeling ya know? We'll leave it at that.
He truly is a unique person. He has lived the life and lives to tell the tale. I think it's great that he's doing this because he tells it like it is and not the way we think it should be. Listen to him...
Forget Goodefellas ... one of the best mob movirs ever... this guy's stories are crap. He talks big about being the bigtime mobster and about rats.. isn't he spilling the beans like hell here?
Ya, Al Sharpton has turned his life around, only thing Al's done is gotten better at crime and conning people, ya gotta give him credit, he should be doing time.
@BIGWORM 510 Pfft he's been a Piece of work for years, long before BLM even the protesters in St. Louis told him to leave during the Trayvon Martin rioting

Met Michael at my church in Smithfield RI. While we were chatting he said to me “today I’m standing here in a church but the last time I was in RI was at the ceremony that the FBI had bugged in Lincoln RI” He was a total gentleman. God bless him and his.
Mr. Michael Franzese's way of words and description is priceless! I respect the way he described Al Sharpton! Al Sharpton was a character! I don't know how much of a reverend he was; yet he was a character! Words of wisdom from his late father: Be careful on what you say, when you are talking to anyone that you don't know! Mr. Franzese is a stand up guy! A rare man amongst men!
He saved him twice in the bathroom. He didn't kill him on the spot and he didn't tell the boss. Mike could've gotten whacked just trying to help a guy out.
I feel like I'm sitting in the room with Mr. Franzese when he tells these stories, it has become my favorite channel on RUclips. Keep up the good work sir!
Fascinating. The Sharpton portion was riveting. Michael, you're a gifted narrator. I'm sure that gift served you especially well in the echelons you operated in during your most notorious times. Great content.
Can't wait for mike's life story to be televised...and hopefully it will be a huge success. Michael is a huge inspiration, at the age of 70 he looks great and seems as hungry as ever to keep successful and accomplish his goals.
What I admire so much about Franzese is even the ppl he doesn't admire in life who have become successful in their own right, doesn't bad mouth them and hopes they at least try to turn their life around for the better. Franzese is what I would call a true Christian man
I think he didn't really count the recommendation in prison as one since the decision was ultimately up to the prison staff. But Michael should probably acknowledge that that intervention was probably a key factor in that said interview

Love how Mr Franzese always tells it like it is. The good, the bad and the ugly. We always get an honest show out of him. My Favorite show to watch online.
I think you’re a straight up/stand up guy Michael. I did 2,316 calendar days because I kept my mouth shut as well when the agents came to shut me down. I’ve been out since October 30,1998 and have stayed focused on my construction business and raising my son. I think it’s hilarious that Al Sharpton became an informant as most folks do. It takes a real man to refrain from giving up their friends when the ax drops but the amount of respect you gain including SELF RESPECT is priceless. Keep up the good work brother
Michael is the MAN!!!!! He lived the most absolutely insane life you get ever emagine and came out on the other side to tell about it and now he is even a man of God! I don't share the same face but that doesn't matter to me the point is is he believes in something and a power greater than himself... That is all that matters. Michael you are an exceptional human being and I believe your purpose here on Earth was to go through that life and live to tell others about it exactly what you're doing right now. You have found your calling
You did save Henry's life 3 times...in the bar (since you didn't have him killed or ratted to Pauly), at Terminal Island jail - getting Henry shipped out - and when you warned him that your family member was looking for him and people knew he was there. Just thought it was funny that you said you only knew of two times you may have saved his life...as you actually tell us about three times! Great videos - keep 'em coming! Love from Canada!
@Jerry Cooney Not to mention Henry wanted to leave Karen probably knowing Vario was banging her, Vario wouldn't let him! You see the scene in Goodfellas. That some fucked up shit!
Love the way you tell these stories, really engaging. Did you ever meet any big celebrities or entertainers back in the day? Like Sammy Davis Jr, Rickles, etc Thanks for the uploads!
Henry Hill got sent to my hometown under witness protection. In Nebraska. He opened a restaurant and bragged about it all the time apparently. I never met him that was before my time. But it's still interesting
Al Sharpton is a master manipulator of exploiting 'black privilege' and is the lowest of the lowlifes. He's getting old...his 'just' desserts are just around the corner...obviously.
Thank you Mr. Fanzese. I appreciate your commentary very much. Your class and style are second to none. Blessings and peace to you and your family sir.
These stories are legend but also revealing of the characters of certain individuals. We already know about Don and Al but Michael gave us the real deal on these guys as dubious and fraudulent people.
@@thekid9152 Actually, I think that the Black Race is so short of "Heros", that he gets the attention he does. The Black Community has a "Herd Mentality" on issues of a racial nature, so they are very easy to exploit, and Race Hustlers like Sharption & J.Jackson take full advantage, for their own enrichment. M.O'bama & Oprah are on that list too.
Michael, you often talk about your father and how he came from Italy, and your mother is also Italian I believe. Growing up in an Italian neighborhood as well, can you speak Italian or were you able to speak Italian at some point? Also what Italian traditions of any did your family have?
Aaron Palm thats a great question. I wonder if he got anything from the Napolitano culture, since his father was a Napolitano. I dont know about his mother though.
I love this channel. Mr. Francheze is an amazing man with a life most could only dream of. Please keep sharing your stories. And... I believe every bit of the Al Sharpton of yesterday and today. I grew up in east NY Brooklyn and still reside there. I have seen Al Sharpton up close. He's quite the character.
Michael! Tell us about the Colombo Family Wars that you were around for! I want to hear about Carmine Persico and Greg Scarpa Sr versus Victor Orena and his guys!
You are such a good story teller. To grasp our attention with no props no cartoons no pictures no sound effect. Just your words and the way you say them. ALSO, very good memory in dates and names.
Michael.. I just found your channel last week and I've been binge watching. I've always been fascinated with these stories and find them very interesting. I admire what you've done with your life and the changes you've made! I had a late Uncle who was a homicide detective in Chicago many years ago and many members of my family were threatened over what he did in his line of work. "Mad Sam Destefano" was a subject of most of that. Again Great channel and Great content!!
One black ass hole has nothing to do with blacks as a whole that's yall problem yall look at TV OR celebrities and think that's represents all blacks hell no
I love both of their channels but they are not remotely on the same level. Michael was a capo and at one point tapped to be the boss, Larry was not even a made man
@@roblarssen249 Which is exactly why a conversation between them would be interesting. They could talk about how it was being in the Mob based on their rank. ''Was it harder to be a Made man or just an earner in the Mob'??', questions like that for example.
These stories are absolutely brilliant. The insight FACT compared to the Hollywood nonsense versions of them. Michael Keep them coming please! A huge fan from Glasgow, Scotland
Incredible video! I'm glad you did the short on it today and gave the link! I've been in your crew for 1 1/2 years - how in the world did I miss this one?? Goodfellas is in my top 2 favorites of all time! Great video! Thanks
As I am waiting to hear him talk about Al Sharpton, in the back of my mind I was wondering how much of a reverend was he. This gentleman must have read my mind.
Maybe he meant drug addiction. Also, Henry's time in prison was probably harder, being a snitch and a feather weight. Too bad he really had nowhere to go but witness protection.

“I love these fucking pigeons, I’d die before I let anyone touch these pigeons”
I could listen to all these mob stories for hours.
I think you’re a straight up/stand up guy Michael. I did 2,316 calendar days because I kept my mouth shut as well when the agents came to shut me down. I’ve been out since October 30,1998 and have stayed focused on my construction business and raising my son.
I think it’s hilarious that Al Sharpton became an informant as most folks do. It takes a real man to refrain from giving up their friends when the ax drops but the amount of respect you gain including SELF RESPECT is priceless. Keep up the good work brother
Where’s the self respect in keeping murderers on the street to murder more people?
Don't believe you
Must of been some Halloween.
Michael is the MAN!!!!! He lived the most absolutely insane life you get ever emagine and came out on the other side to tell about it and now he is even a man of God! I don't share the same face but that doesn't matter to me the point is is he believes in something and a power greater than himself... That is all that matters. Michael you are an exceptional human being and I believe your purpose here on Earth was to go through that life and live to tell others about it exactly what you're doing right now. You have found your calling
Michael you have truly had an amazing life, and it is great to see you doing good and helping others.
You should ask Al Sharpton about Tawana Brawley. I'd be interested to see what that lying charlatan has to say.
I give you credit micheal, you left that life and you found the lord, god bless you my brother
Mr. Franzese is an amazing speaker. I could listen to him for hours and hours.
You did save Henry's life 3 times...in the bar (since you didn't have him killed or ratted to Pauly), at Terminal Island jail - getting Henry shipped out - and when you warned him that your family member was looking for him and people knew he was there. Just thought it was funny that you said you only knew of two times you may have saved his life...as you actually tell us about three times! Great videos - keep 'em coming! Love from Canada!
Michael,
If you would please talk about Paul Vario. Henry Hills boss and their crew!
@Dunston actually Tommy tried raping his wife
Paul had a affair
@Jerry Cooney for real he owed them nothing
Jerry Cooney Henry hill wasn’t a made men🤷🏽♂️
I think he asked micheal! Not recycled stories from you RUclips wannabe no it alls! Lol 😂 😂😂😂
@Jerry Cooney Not to mention Henry wanted to leave Karen probably knowing Vario was banging her, Vario wouldn't let him! You see the scene in Goodfellas. That some fucked up shit!
It’s a pleasure to hear your motivational talks. Really inspired me to get my life together. Thank you
Love the way you tell these stories, really engaging. Did you ever meet any big celebrities or entertainers back in the day? Like Sammy Davis Jr, Rickles, etc
Thanks for the uploads!
Can someone get Mike a Netflix special or a series about his life?!?
U inspire me I'm not a Italian but ur story is wowey I'm handicapped and I m a veteran ublived the life sir I respect u and I'm glad u found Jesus
Henry Hill got sent to my hometown under witness protection. In Nebraska. He opened a restaurant and bragged about it all the time apparently. I never met him that was before my time. But it's still interesting
He was probably snorting big rails in that restraraunt too lol
I could listen to you talk all day. Best stories ever.
I could listen to this man tell stories all day.
“Who is this, in this club, doing something like that”? So badass lol
UP IN DA CLUB
Excellent. As always. Al Sharpton's status as an icon is so amazing, and ridiculous.
Al Sharpton is a master manipulator of exploiting 'black privilege' and is the lowest of the lowlifes. He's getting old...his 'just' desserts are just around the corner...obviously.
@@elmoomle4565 ,
I'd love to witness it when he gets his 'just desserts'.
Thank you Mr. Fanzese. I appreciate your commentary very much. Your class and style are second to none. Blessings and peace to you and your family sir.
"Henry..Henry...My Henry..Oh Henry Boy..the pipes..the pipes are playing..." -- Morrie Al Sharpton should have gone the way of Stax Edwards....:0
These stories are legend but also revealing of the characters of certain individuals. We already know about Don and Al but Michael gave us the real deal on these guys as dubious and fraudulent people.
17:26 this is pure gold, we live and we learn
Michael franzese is one of the few guys who was smart enough to beat the system!
@@felipeagonzalez8373 Yeah, Henry did that
Uh, he went to prison including solitary.
@@kenanacampora 8 years to wipe the slate is a pretty good deal
I absolutely love to hear Michael Franzese speak. His stories are so intriguing he carries himself well. The man looks like he's 50 my goodness! Wow
Sharpton's rap sheet was longer that any gangster on this video, only no one ever wrote it up .....his reward waits for him in heaven.
Lol i was thinking more like Hell.
And you could say the exact same thing about this current President and half of the evangelical preachers.
@@ikant312 yeah Joe Biden has a large rap sheet
Mike makes all his dealings look completely normal.
Al Sharpton is and always will be a bum.
Ron Wieland what’s worse is black people actually believe he does! It sucks :(
We all fall short of perfection
@@thekid9152 Actually, I think that the Black Race is so short of "Heros", that he gets the attention he does. The Black Community has a "Herd Mentality" on issues of a racial nature, so they are very easy to exploit, and Race Hustlers like Sharption & J.Jackson take full advantage, for their own enrichment. M.O'bama & Oprah are on that list too.
@ at a point I was almost sure your take was from a place of hate or a racist POV but I actually respect your perspective
Is he 50/50 italian and African
Thanks for sharing, Al sharpton who'd ever thought.
Even as a kid I never liked Al Sharpton. He always gave me a bad vibe.
oh yes, i agree totally!!
Thats cause you could tell he was a liar
@Cocaine Cowboy he was also a snitch. Worked for FBI
@Cocaine Cowboy Donald Trump is nothing like that though, is he?
I still don't like
Michael, you often talk about your father and how he came from Italy, and your mother is also Italian I believe. Growing up in an Italian neighborhood as well, can you speak Italian or were you able to speak Italian at some point? Also what Italian traditions of any did your family have?
Aaron Palm thats a great question. I wonder if he got anything from the Napolitano culture, since his father was a Napolitano. I dont know about his mother though.
I didn’t know that. Interesting
He definitely can
@Rippel0000 every region of Italy has its own dialect right?
Do you have some special requests? Maybe you want Michael to sing something for you? 😂 What an idiot you are man!?!?! A stupid provocation.
I love this channel. Mr. Francheze is an amazing man with a life most could only dream of. Please keep sharing your stories. And... I believe every bit of the Al Sharpton of yesterday and today. I grew up in east NY Brooklyn and still reside there. I have seen Al Sharpton up close. He's quite the character.
Michael! Tell us about the Colombo Family Wars that you were around for! I want to hear about Carmine Persico and Greg Scarpa Sr versus Victor Orena and his guys!
This is just the coolest dude around
You are such a good story teller. To grasp our attention with no props no cartoons no pictures no sound effect. Just your words and the way you say them. ALSO, very good memory in dates and names.
Michael.. I just found your channel last week and I've been binge watching. I've always been fascinated with these stories and find them very interesting. I admire what you've done with your life and the changes you've made! I had a late Uncle who was a homicide detective in Chicago many years ago and many members of my family were threatened over what he did in his line of work. "Mad Sam Destefano" was a subject of most of that. Again Great channel and Great content!!
"Reverend" Al sharpton hasn't changed at all except he's not fat anymore...says a lot about blm...
One black ass hole has nothing to do with blacks as a whole that's yall problem yall look at TV OR celebrities and think that's represents all blacks hell no
@@richjack3080 blm not all blacks
@@richjack3080 learn to read properly before you post
Stfu
@@djbell3892 why? Does the truth bother you?
Thanks, Michael, I always thought Al Sharpton was a little too slick-talking opportunist, that's why I don't follow him.
I would love to see Michael and Larry Lawton have a conversation together.
Big Herc needs to happen.
Was thinking the same thing
I love both of their channels but they are not remotely on the same level. Michael was a capo and at one point tapped to be the boss, Larry was not even a made man
@@roblarssen249 Is Larry Jewish or Irish?
@@roblarssen249 Which is exactly why a conversation between them would be interesting. They could talk about how it was being in the Mob based on their rank. ''Was it harder to be a Made man or just an earner in the Mob'??', questions like that for example.
These stories are absolutely brilliant. The insight FACT compared to the Hollywood nonsense versions of them. Michael Keep them coming please! A huge fan from Glasgow, Scotland
Incredible video! I'm glad you did the short on it today and gave the link! I've been in your crew for 1 1/2 years - how in the world did I miss this one?? Goodfellas is in my top 2 favorites of all time! Great video! Thanks
As I am waiting to hear him talk about Al Sharpton, in the back of my mind I was wondering how much of a reverend was he. This gentleman must have read my mind.
Mr Franzese is the most interesting Man in RUclips. Love hearing his stories, what I wouldn't give to have a face to face with him.
Love your stories and history. Only wish I found your videos a while back. Stay safe test negative and think positive. Aloha from Maui.
"This stuff ages you," he says, while he looks to be early 50s at the age of 69.
Maybe he meant drug addiction. Also, Henry's time in prison was probably harder, being a snitch and a feather weight. Too bad he really had nowhere to go but witness protection.
@@dandavis8300 True, he could have meant drug addiction. I understood it to mean the mob life in general but that is certainly a valid interpretation.
I think he was talking about the drugs specifically
He looks like he is in the early 60s .
Michael looks better now then he did at 30 in my opinion.
AL “Gun for hire” Sharpton.😂😂😂😂
