Best entertainment on RUclips could listen to this dude for hours
factssss
@@edwinjimenez3802 If Michael Franzese has no problem with dude, whats yours? Go be offended on behalf of someone who needs a white Knight, cause in case you aint been following, Its not Michael Franzese. Dude!
@Victor Saucedo Hey a punk is a whole load different than an young man saying dude. I didn't (not michael, seeing as he replied) interpreted "dude" as disrespectful. Maybe in the 80/90's but get with the times
@@edwinjimenez3802 sure big man. You're sooooo progressive, dude!
@@edwinjimenez3802 This is the man of the Miss, Trust me she clean's but shes also an earner. Not all women are idiots, I've had men around me who couldnt earn 5p never mind what she does. ,,EDWIN hahaha
This guy is like a fictional character, but he really exists
I wanna eat this mans tomato sauce.
@@SmEiF- ..... Well alright then....
Like a living movie star 🤣
@@SmEiF- ..... Well alright then....
More then that, he doesn't just say it, he lives it
One of the only former mob guys I’ve heard who doesn’t glorify his former life and beat his chest.
Dan Ross I mean if you were in the mob would you not talk about it?
Yeah Michael's a stand up guy.
@Axiom Steel26 #yasss! 👌
Dan Ross no he doesn’t he makes a point of saying he’s not trying to glorify it. He says he did he enjoy aspects of the life
He speaks the truth. There were parts of the life he liked and parts he didn’t. He did what he had to do and paid his price for it.
The ability to sit and speak into a camera like that and not have to edit the clips is really a rare talent.
that’s big facts ..i’d love to sit down & buy this man something to drink & just listen to him talk
He’s really smart & witty it’s why he’s still alive
@Paul Spittle
I disagree
He facinating and I'd join that group there
Yea, he’s obviously No Dummy , after making through that life and making it BiG again doing it legit
@@michaeltabor9596
Shows it’d the truth as well.
No hype, no embellishment, just telling it like it is with accurate details. This is how you engage the audience.

Thomas Måhl....are you talking out of your ass?
I was actually in the Mafia and I tell better stories
Love watching and listening to Michael he Draws you right in to his former life and the stories
@@mobsnitchanonymous213 Where's the footage
One of the biggest pieces of advice I've gotten from Mr. Franzese was "The first guy to raise his voice in an argument, automatically loses the argument." I've always had somewhat of a short temper and that statement has helped tremendously. Thank you, Mr. Franzese!
So very true. I have a temper myself. At work i have become a pro at being known for being so easy going and calm. I am not that in real life and still work on that to this day with the people I love and my family. No truer words. When you get mad, when you yell, when you name call, when you stop thinking, you have already lost.
I n martial arts, it is known that he looses his temper, looses the fight! because you loose control of your own energy! and your adversary can take advantage of that!
When it’s Mob Story Monday I’m here, forget about it!

@@thomascoursey5428 Heck YES.... Mr. Franzese personally commented in response to one of my posts....I told my Wife and Son that I actually communicated with a Made Man.....made my day too.....this damn RUclips is something else....I am not, at all, technologically inclined so I become incredibly impressed with things that have come and gone years ago haha
Don't hold back with the stories Michael no matter how violent or even offensive some of the stuff maybe God can use all of it to reach people. Of all the guys that got out of the life you're doing the best and I genuinely believe that is because you turned to God. Thank you for acknowledging him and letting us inside your personal life as well

A guy joins the mafia to get his dad out of prison. What a movie that would be.
And then his dad sanctions a hit on him. (Happened).
@@slybuster I don't think his dad sanctioned it as much as he acknowledged it
A Movie about Michael Franzese is in the making production to begin Next Year
@@righteousrt4337 would be better with a series on netflix, a movie is too short

Amen

Woah, this was heavy
Yes I look forward to mob story monday
Michael sitting in a different place every time😎
Never give a hitman the knowledge of where to aim. Joke!!! before any1 comes @ me!
The reason this dude out lived everyone is because when he spoke to people he spoke them with so much charisma and truth he wasnt a show off big mouth bully jus a humble wiseguy /£machine
True facts
He was more the brains part of that life not the muscle. I know it was wrong with that gas scam was absolute genius probably one of the greatest scams ever created
he spoke to them always with respect!
Ppl like Mike are are overachievers even in the underworld..some ppl are born with prince like qualities..so he had it all..along with a strong crew..and he also pulled up on ppl just him and his burner..
He was an earner.
17:11 This part really hit home for me Michael thanks so much! I’ve done a lot of bad things in my life been in and out of jail and have turned my life around but my past constantly haunts me and eats away at me because of the things I’ve done in the past and over the past 8 years I’ve turned my life around and now work hard and wouldn’t even so much as steal a piece of candy but your wisdom and words have really opened my eyes and made me realise what I’ve done shouldn’t dictate what I’m going to do and how I’m going to live in the future and for that I thank you!
I get you from the. Time I was 15 I was in trouble dealing drugs robbing I was put away when I was 19 for 3 years I devastated my parents my dad did not come visit me at all the worst part I only did things to look good to friends in the street my parents had money not millionaires but my parents had their home my dad worked 3jobs I then had my own kids I thought of myself as a piece of shit I apologized to my dad but I was out in a bar and their was a old man he knew my Dad knew me he just asked you learn a lesson yet you grow up yet but I told him how I felt and I didn't want to carry it around my whole life he told me go out make a difference for people take food to a homebound neighbor ask them do they need anything pay for someone's shopping anything payback to society what you took do something for your parents I did all that still do what I can it doesn't change what I did but I feel better about myself and you can't help people without 1st taking care of yourself
@@TheAB3 thanks heaps man!
@@legscoll3296 that’s good man! You can’t change the past only the future and the future is bright for us both ☺️👍
You were a very loyal son Michael. Your dad was very lucky to have a son like u. God bless you!
@@michaelfranzese So they kill a guy in a very violent fashion for simply asking why nobody is trying to help a very respected under boss?No offence Mr. Franzese but that sounds crazy.There had to be more to it than that.Did the people in power possibly see your Dad as a threat and saw his long sentence as a problem solved?P.S really enjoying your podcast.I wish you all the best.
@@craigcode7103 Joey gallo hired a African American to hit joe as a power move to try to take control of the family so that's not why Michael never said that's why it was crazy joe starting a war why dont you ask instead of trying to dispute a claim that was never made but god bless you and thank you mr franzese for sharing your experiences with us I would actually love to meet you one day for advice
@@craigcode7103 Joe Gallo started a war to win control of the family.
@@michaelfranzese God bless ya Mike
@Carlo Molinaro kids? I didnt know he was taking things that far but I'm glad you made it out of that ok he was crazy joe for a reason I guess
I just love listening to that man talking always have some history keep up the good work mr Michael
You can really see how tough this guy really is, to live such a harsh life like that only to turn all his energy into being positive to help others not many can do that.
@@michaelfranzese Mike I've been following you for years now I seen ur talk in Oxford college was it Oxford it was in England I've seen ur documentarys from years ago with Phil lionetti I've seen every thing you touched on Henry Hill in the vlad interviews I think a episode on Jimmy Burke or any of them guys from goodfelas your name was even said in the opening scene I'm sure you no the actor who played fat Andy in that opening scene was lou appoletto the cop who was a killer for gas pipe casso but Mike out of all them guys from back then most are bad guys I'd say you were pretty reasonable and a good guy as far as mobsters go but I love the show Mike hope it a suscess much love from Dublin Ireland
@@johnwayne3331 that was one of the longest sentences I've ever read brother!
Amazing testimony man. Very excited to see your RUclips channel.
Absolutely love listening to Michael speak, I start my days watching and listening atm real life lessons.
Speaking about loved ones like this to millions can not be easy. Keep it up brother
I am a single father of 5. Not an easy life for many reasons. None I will mention. And at crossroads. I believe your podcasts help. Thank you. Struggling here but listening to advice from true men (they are in short supply these days) helps. So appreciate it.
God bless you 🙏✝️
Stay strong king
God bless you brother
At least you have your kids, mine were taken from me by their mother and the courts. Id do anything to be in your position
@lorenzog7811 as a mom, I'd never have kept the kids from my ex unless I really HAD to because of safety or whatnot. That said, I know plenty of women who have and I always tell them that it's wrong. You should always put kids first. I'm sorry for your trouble with that. 🙏
You could hear the sadness in his voice while he was talking about his friend Artie! I couldn’t imagine seeing something that traumatic! God bless Mike you’re a real goodfella!
He couldn’t even recognize his face when he saw inside the coffin
Your a good speaker and enjoy to see you've changed. I hope you help people change.
Haha nicely edited at the moment where he talks about murder.
Yeah, I rewound.
@@russellszczepanski9435 same here! I was like wait, what? I did not blink or stop listening...what the hell! Riveting, Michael is amazing with captivating his audience. Can absolutely listen to him for hours on end.
You know what he said though. He had to say what he did to get into the life.
So did he say yes,I assume? I know her wouldn't want to admit that now but he had to say Yes right?
*Murder*, is just a shot away
Never bored of watching these story’s
I really enjoy listening to you Michael, great advice and insight
What are your thoughts on the church of Scientology Michael?.
Wow. I was glued to this story. I’ve been binge watching Michael’s channel since I found it last week. This was one of the most passionate, heart felt, impactful lessons in life I’ve ever heard. Amazing.
And he actually means it.. a good man, through and through..
It seems to me that Michael Franzese had the makings of a varsity athletes.
lol
Maybe but he could've had anyone dissolved in acid with a snap of the fingers.
@@michiganmade6275 That escalated quickly lol :)
Michigan Made well he’d only do that if he was at the precipice of an enormous crossroads, he’s very allegorical & still lives by traditional codes, just never assault a made guy, it’s very disrespectful & make sure you show respect altered to their specificity
@@hakshustletv That's why I said he could've.. not that he would've lol
Wow. Well put. Kids are so loyal to (at least) one parent.
I grew up in an environment where u side with ur parents till the end. I may disagree with them and get frustrated with them but ik they're the reason I'm alive today.

What an interesting guy, Godbless you Michael.
He would.kill in second
Ron Wladich : What? Michael is a Christian now.
I dare you tell him he's boring
Ron Wladich
Lol... so wouldn’t you if you had to.
Or else you’re a victim.🤣
He's just a genuine and himself. Great guy.
That EDIT when you were gonna answer if you would ever kill someone. Interesting lol
Doesn’t want to implicate himself for something he has no immunity plus maybe he doesn’t want his kids to hear the answer
@@HamiltonRb oh yeah I figured that.
From all I've read he was a made guy in a time when they had to have done at least one hit
He had to edit that because there's no statue of limitations on murder. He could get brought up on charges if someone wanted to connect the dots
It isnt hard to figure out though. There are rules to becoming a made man.
Despite this guys background, his message is noteworthy. He appreciates accountability. I pray that folks listen' to his story carefully. People need to get behind this guy and reward him for his efforts.
It just goes to show through the grace of a greater power that everyone is redeemable and has a message!
Listening to Michael's mob sytories is like listening to my grandfathers' stories: I've probably heard most of them already but I still enjoy the ride.
Lol so true
.
i9
So true! But amazing over and over.
GottA tell ya, I love em.
Joe Colombo made a mistake, he should have put somebody else as a frontman, someone well-known and popular like Frank Sinatra.
Damn right. He should have put James Caan there, everyone allready thinks hes italian.
@Benny Blanco your so right.
@Benny Blanco Columbo also forgot .. he was only a boss in the first place because of Gambino . When he warned him he was ordered to have a hit on him . And was rewarded by allowing him to start his own family .
Seems like when Carlo told him to stop creating to much attention is when he should of definitely put a famous person as the face. But I guess its easy to say now when we c the out come but yea i agree with you.
"Did you try to pull a scam on God?"
Michael could be a preacher. That was amazing.
He is a preacher lol
Even though I’ve heard this story several several times from Michael, I still find it fascinating as well as entertaining and informative and not to mention insightful as well as encouraging.
Fascinating , entertaining, informative, insightful , encouraging .. calm down 😂
To Michael Franzese, when you took the oath you were a different man. When you became a Christian, you become a better man.
Great message bro you hit it right on the head
I don't believe your books... I believe in science....
@@deg6788 Congratulations.

@@mrpeacock321 seek help
No one can ever get in so deep that they are beyond help. How he is alive is a miracle because God had other plans for Michael that no oath could break.
@Jason A what do you expect? Constant and endless instant gratification? Thats not how the world works, that's not how God works. It only works when you choose to open your eyes to it, and or have integrity with yourself and try to find it. "If you seek, you shall find..." how do you expect to find something when you deny its existence, do anything to discredit and shut it down? The power of manifestation is real. What you put energy into, whatever you focus on, becomes your reality. You see the world through how you see yourself, what your thoughts and state of mind are. If God doesn't exist in your heart, in your mind, you don't experience God. Goes back to, "if you seek you shall find."
Once you open your mind whole heartedly, it will present itself to you. It starts with letting go of the *ego.* Dissolve the ego and you will make an unmistakable connection with your higher self and with God. Some people are controlled by their own ego, which suppresses their spirit. When you block; suppress the spirit, you close it off to the light. Ego and spirit, is a balance of yin/yang. Too much of one can cause unbalance. For instance, too much egocentricity creates vanity. It will make you feel superior over others, you become so wrapped up in yourself, the idolatry replaces Family, God/the spirit. These are simple yet very complex things, they are multi-demensional. Once you unlock your mind and spirit, dissolve the ego, you will experience higher frequencies, higher levels of consciousness and higher forms of wisdom.
The point is about God and spirituality, about energy and manifestation. People cringe and pull back so hard when it comes to believing in a higher power, like they will catch a deadly disease and die. I really cannot understand what's the worst that could happen to try and put your faith into a higher power? Obviously we are not all powerful, obviously _we_ are not God. God is part of us though, and God is everything and everything is God. People have their different ideas of God, but in the end its all the same God, just a different "path" to it.
There is no harm in whole heartedly and humbly asking to show you the way, to present to you the path. There is no harm in humbly putting your faith out there. The key is to have willingness. The key is trusting. Trusting deters many people, they are incapable of it, as if it were a person, but ultimate trust coincides with belief being reality, it coincides with manifestation. Trust is the way. The only requirement is a desire to *find.*
Michael said "God knows our hearts... You can't trick God." You can't be disgenuine, you can't lie, manipulate or fool God, not like you can a person. That's why your state of mind, your state of being, is your reality.
If you open your mind, if you open your heart, you will find it. I can't tell you the remarkable signs I've experienced, the peace and serenity knowing that all is OK, that I am on the right path... Because everything happens for a reason, even if we don't know at that particular moment. We have our path, we have our journey. A good way to serenity is having faith and acceptance. Faith that everything will work out exactly the way its supposed to, and acceptance for all of your problems today. Until you learn acceptance, you know no peace. Until you learn to have faith, you will have distrust and denial.
Love yourself, break the chains of ego, and have faith.
@@JustAdude291
Simple question
What is God?
What are you actually referring to when you use the word God
@Easonitus it’s such a lazy excuse too, “oh they met gods plan”
Did the babies who were executed by Khmer Rouge by having their heads smashed into tree trunks meet gods plan too?
you prefer to believe in a god who just sits by and let’s this happen - or even worse, planned for it to happen, all the horrendous stuff in the world.
You prefer to believe in that malicious piece of shit rather than just accept that the world is a cold, lonely place and there is no magical nice boi in the sky to come and make it ok.
@Darryl Washington thank you brother 🙏
@@kevinkearney4187 what if that is evil and not God? If God represents the essence of love and light, wouldn't it make sense that evil is committed because of evil, not love and peace? Committed by those who are "without God." Unfortunately there is also evil in the world, not only good, love, etc. There is a balance of forces- good and evil, like yin/yang. There is not only one over the other and in this universe, there cannot only exist one side. There is an opposite to literally everything in this world, weather it be an opinion, a thought, a feeling, an action, etc. I don't understand why people humanize God as if they are a person responsible for other peoples' actions... People choose to lable an evil, soulless person's free will as the act of God. You understand that we cannot control everything that happens in the world, nor can we expect a beautiful perfect world... Because, unfortunately there are terrible things that happen in the world. We have free will, but we are sometimes powerless over the outcomes- the fate. We can ask for wisdom to better understand our will but we will never have full power over the laws of the universe. You can't blame everything bad on God. You can't, _not_ receive instant gratification for everything you want and then blame God for it. That's not how it works.
"What kind of God would do that?!" That is not God, that is evil men/women who are _without_ God.
Read my last comment to better understand. I'm not sure if what you're saying is just a denial-based excuse to further push away the idea or what... However, many people look for reasons or excuses to deny the existence of God which further pushes them away from finding or discovering a higher power or even their higher self... Because "if you seek you shall find, if you ask you shall receive."
Lastly, you don't have to believe in anything, I won't judge you if you choose not to believe nor want to, or try to... That is your decision, however one cannot simply look away and ignore it in every way and then say "see its not real." Looking for reasons God is "bad" or not real, will only make you not see it or be blind to it. That's why it makes no sense to deny it if you don't even try to see it yourself. "If you seek you shall find."
The colombo family sold Michael's dad and didnt do nothing to help him..
In fact artie was killed for trying to stand up for sonny..
There's no honour
Carlo Gambino would bring him out.
@@chnarsaidgull7344 well until 50yrs there's no proof of it..
Even Michael himself never mention about it in his videos
I don't understand, why?
Probaly some kind of power play tbh looks at how they went too war the Columbos destroyed there self with infighting for 20 years from the 70s into the early nineties there where bodies turning up all over the place
"that's the right answer'' lol)
@BaveryRed he won't say if he killed or didn't kill because he doesn't like talking about that and because he is a Christian or/and because he doesn't want to go to jail because he was never charged with murder
Plausible deniability
Thought it had to be a glitch in the video. Golly!
I don’t think you can go through that life without sending someone to Belize if you get my meaning.
@@barackobama990 there's actually several people that have been inducted into the mafia without killing somebody most of the lower-level guys have to but if you're a good earner and you bringing a lot of money from the family or you were born into it some people just get inducted into the family without having to kill
I been fugitive for 7 years I went thru hell I can’t even describe how hard was on me not seeing family wandering alone around the world but Jesus show me the right path. Freedom is the best thing human can have! Michael thanks for another video god bless you and your family!Hope to meet you one day when I’m in US .

Michael: it amazes me what your critics stay focused on - the legitimacy of your former life, your name and the likeness of your father. Its unreal ! You have every right to hold on to the likeness of your father, your bloodline and talk about your old life as well as stand firm in your identity in Christ. Blessings
Never looked forward to Monday so much 🤣
Michael Franzese I appreciate you 🙏🙏
I liked when he said he could flip the switch mob style..... just like mike tyson showing lil flashes of his former self
I’m becoming addicted to your life experience lessons. Thank you so much for sharing them. God bless you
This is the guy you want making your business money. He’s all about the result and not the publicity. A rare quality
I hope you all noticed that when his dad asked him if he could kill someone just then the screen went white and another story started up. In that life in order to become a "Made Man" you have to kill if asked to and you won't become one unless you do kill someone. And in the 70's and 80's that life was violent. I have alot of respect for him to say what he's saying nowadays, but in that life that oath owns you. Every Made Man killed someone at one time. He won't say it because there's no limitions on murder. And what he's done since I think is great promoting Christian values by the way.
I get it, but how did he become made right away?
Listen it’s not like killing a civilian I mean I know it’s fucked up in every way just actually killing someone but with free will everybody that gets into that life knows the stakes and if you’re willing to except those stakes, you have to do certain things. It sounds twisted but it’s just like a soldier killing another soldier in war time this just happens to take place on the streets. Guys in the mafia never did drive-bys and killed innocent people to possibly get one or two everybody that was in that world you could possibly kill or get killed. Street war. That’s why it was called organized. And honestly the only difference between a lot of the white-collar criminals and these guys they’re doing the exact same thing but with the potential of violence because that gets peoples attention. If you’re not in the world you wouldn’t even know it existed you’re not gonna be killed by a mobster unless you’re in that life
@@KARKATELCESARENVIADODESA-pv4yd $. Plus his dad was very connected and needed his son to run his business while he was in prison. In that life if you're told to wack someone, you do it or you don't become a Made guy. Every Made Guy who Made it wacked someone when told to. That's the life. He did but won't say anything about it. If he did, then the law would go after him. He's not stupid.

I'm an atheist and I typically lose interest and stop watching when I hear "God talk", not this time. Powerful content and a great delivery by a great story teller. Thank you Mike and please keep sharing
One may be an atheist when it’s alright in their life, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing bad about being an atheist. But when one’s life is falling apart faith helps a lot to manage with the odds. I do believe in god myself and I pray, that makes me fight back the life and motivates me like nothing else, but I dislike the preaching extremist christians and I don’t attend church. Take care bro.
Everyone believes in God. Some people just don't want to.
@Chris Turnbull I agree. It actually seems like he's starting to talk about the jesus shit more and more. I've actually stopped watching because of it. It's true that people "find god" during times of struggle because it helps them cope. They can't handle the fact that we're just a carbon based life form floating through space on a rock. I cringe when I hear people going on and on about god/jesus because I'm embarrassed for them.

But people who live with God in their lives tend to be happier if he is real or not
I don’t believe anything but goddamn I at least have respect for religious people
I’m amazed at everything you went through and you don’t have PTSD or depression from it.
I knew a person who was shot point blank at traffic light. That is real and its nothing compared to what we see in the movies. That life is nothing to be proud of.

@@edwinjimenez3802 when they use a double negative, you know its serious business... capisce?
Cant fake genuine and when talking about Artie, you could see the sadness. That hurt, and continues to hurt his heart. One of the things I love about these videos is the mix/balance between the street smarts/book smarts and how it can still be applied to everyday life. The fact that Mr. Franzese utilizes his former life to deliver life lessons, while also not glamorizing what he used to do is stand up. Keep it going!
When you spoke about seeing your friend in the casket, and how he is looked, made me think of that scene from The Godfather when Don Vito looks at the corpse of Sonny and says:"Look at what those animals did to my boy" and weeps. I could imagine your reaction Michael 😢
Yes!
Look at how they massacred my boy
That animal Blundetto.
Every Monday I'm here. Even the stories he's told already new small or sometimes even large details are added. As an ex con I really feel him when he says you can't turn it off. You can change your actions, but you still instinctively sometimes think like a criminal. All you can do is avoid that life as much as possible and pray you don't react without thinking
If I was his dad every day I would say " I did 50 years in the can, without a peep"
50 years of eating grilled cheese of the radiator
I wanted manicotti I compromised I had to eat grilled cheese off the RAHDIATOR for 50 years
Im Muslim and I love all my Christian Brothers and Sisters out there!
That’s good I really appreciate you! tbh I’m not a fan of Islam cause many are piece of work that want to see us tortured like the Ottoman Empire did with my ppl for 400+ years so I appreciate it brother you are always welcome to join the Jesus crew lol but real talk I hope you’re against what Turkey scum bag president did and turned the orthodox Vatican into a mosque that’s horrible it’s its like turning Mecca into a Christian playground it’s flat out wrong, God bless !
@johnnnyoh you clearly have a distorted view of Islam, you are looking at the 1% of the people that give Islam a bad name and decided to make the 1% a majority. Torture is 1 of the biggest sins in Islam! We believe in Jesus and all the prophets before and Prophet Muhammad after him. How about you do some reading up on Islam before being mind washed by the media. Because if the main stream media is attacking something constantly, they want to hide the real truth of that something. In the end of the day, I love all my fellow Human-beings and don't form an opinion on them based on what I heard, I learn from experience. There are good and bad people, no matter of what faith. And if you actually see the true history of Islam and Prophet Muhammad, you would know that Prophet Muhammad did not force Islam on any person and allowed them to do whatever and live freely. Prophet Muhammad was illiterate, yet he reached more than 1 billion people so far because He really was given a Divine message from Our Creator. The knowledge in the Quran (609-632 a.d.) talks about scientific knowledge that we did not know until the 20th century. This message is the Quran and has never been distorted in any way. The majority of people in power in Muslim countries are the farthest thing from Muslims because they oppress REAL Muslims. The people in power have an agenda bigger than you would ever know, my friend. Knowledge is power.
Wary smart man.Knows how to tell the story and also the good listener.He knows what to say and when too say.
This is a key too his success.His sentences are very well crafted and he is careful to be diplomatic.
He never speak bad and offend.
He understand how the system of media works.
He knows the bad in good and good in bad.Full respect.
Wow, you’re channel is growing so quickly 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Its only going to get bigger. Great content
"If you had to kill anybody, could you do it?" That's a heavy question. I personally believe that everybody is capable of killing if they really had to.
It’s not like your going to be asked to blow up a building of innocent civilians, you are taking orders like in the military
Anybody can say whatever they want I've seen the men that i thought were born killers freeze. I don't believe anybody can answer are that question and be 100% honest. Not till that firearm is leveled and finger on the trigger can you answer that question and be 100% certain. There's always exceptions to this rule but I have never found that man
@@Dogleg1957 only if you saw my kd in cod
It is a totally different thing to kill a stranger who has invaded your home or threatens your family, but being asked to kill a dear friend or even a family member because someone else orders a hit is totally different
Anybody can kill but everyone can't live with it
You need more people like Artie in this world. When you go to jail all the street "family" you have disappears. Artie never forgot his friend was rotting away.
RIP Artie
Yes . those people real pussy . The didn't go for fair fight with that guy. Bottom line.. there is no family..the just using people..
Arti was a criminal you fool
More like skid mark you fool
I couldn't believe it when Mike said he straight up got blasted for even mentioning his father.
Out of all the media etc I’ve watched about the mob & gangs your personal stories are the hardest hitting in terms of stopping someone from wanting to enter the organisation/gang life.
God bless Michael. RIP to the friends you lost when part of that mess 🙏
The stories I would really love to hear are the ones he will never be able to tell.
I just started "Quitting the mob" as of today, and I gotta say I never liked reading this much since school or the good Bible , and I'm not much of a reader. I can't wait to start all the other books Michael has out!! 💪👍👍💪
Filipinos just like Italians have close family ties. We must remember that family is the basic unit of our society. The values of having a strong family relationship nowadays are gone. Sad but true
@Uplo Der You racist?
My other half is a Filipina and I can definitely attest to that
Yes, destroy the basic unit, and the family, group, society in which it is contained, suffers. You need look no further than the "B" family (I have to use B rather than the color because the RUclips Bolshevik demokkkrats will censor it and remove your post) an 80% out of wedlock birthrate and father absenteeism has destroyed the group. And yes, I am "B" so I'll speak on it despite the RUclips Bolsheviks censoring the truth.
@George Thomas One cannot fix what one refuses to acknowledge. And when left to metastasize, it devours and destroys its target.
That's an interesting remark, because this man became a mobster to please his dad! Family members don't always have your best interest in mind, they may even want to hurt you (jealousy etc). They can lead you down a very dark path. I'm speaking from experience, but the crime stats back it up. Most murders are committed by family members, same goes for sexual abuse. I wish it weren't so, but those are the facts.
I've been watching your interviews and channel for a few weeks now. I've always been fascinated with the "mob" and "gang" life for as long as I can remember. Grew up on the south side of Chicago, got to see it live and in person, both the "mob" and "gang" lifestyles. Went to Catholic school with a lot of the kids in the neighborhood of those Folks. I stuck my toes in the water a few times but never really fully immersed myself. This vid really got to me, it helped me see the other side of it, the reality that awaits those that do in fact, immerse themselves in it. I've witnessed the bad side of it but, it never really "clicked" until this vid. Please keep doing what your doing. Thank you.
When I realised u had a channel I subscribed instantly , all ur stories are brilliant and they come with a moral honestly you probably don’t even know how much you’ve helped people. Keep up the great work
The only channel I’ve ever had notifications set for!
Michael Franzese is he a friend of yours or is a he friend of ours?
Me too
Same!
I bet if this man goes to school he is going to teach te kids more about real life then 20 years of school
@ 28 years old my friend don't disrespect no-one
Living legend, Michael, your a great man. Been through so much unfortunate yet only sees the fortunate and so strong. Stay strong and good. ❤
I’ve been researching him for a while and he is a real respectable guy.
His story is amazing. In another life he would have been a CEO of a fortune 500 company. He strikes me as a nice man with the right values. We love ya Mike!!!
nick brown, very true, I wonder if the mafia today is still angry with him.
Alex Kupsey they aren’t thrilled with him I don’t think hahaha
Alex Kupsey probably a little upset in New York and in Sicily but he didn’t put anyone away so it could vary place to place
Mike is very well educated a Gentleman of Class not your regular Made Mob Guy
Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Michael Franzece.
That's hilarious...Thanks
Actually he hired Michael to watch his back
redezobh except he didn’t snitch
We need more "Arty the Animals" for friends. He the only one mentioned that seemed like he cared for Sonny......
“The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children.” William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
@George Thomas Like Michael, I am a Christian. The line, though restated, is actually from the Bible. Unfortunately, it took Michael seeing this happen to his father's family for him to realize that he loved his family too much for him to do the same to his wife and children. Sure, Michael's mob stories are very interesting, but his redemption is far more interesting. "Faith, hope, and love", Michael has embraced all of them, and it's very important for us to take notice and applaud. Thanks for our comments, George! I really appreciate them!! 👍👍👍
This man is a gem! He is a gifted articulate storyteller! I could listen to him all day. Such great stories! There aren’t many people like Michael about anymore! Great content and well edited and produced!
Just started listening to him and let me say that was the best intro of all time!!
I would love to sit down with Michael Franzese and have a talk with him for hours and have espresso coffee. God bless you my brother. ☕🇮🇹
He has an online version 🤷♂️ join.michaelfranzese.com/inner-circle
Had skills to go to medical school but used them for other purposes to fight for his Dad. A real-life Godfather example.
Joining Michael's crew was one of the best things I've ever done. After 20 years in the military, I can relate to seeing things that people shouldn't ever have to see. Most importantly I love everything Michael does in speaking openly about mistakes of his past and how we all are responsible for our decisions. I'm a single father with a teenage son and talking with him about our relationship to Christ only goes so far as his dad. He loves to watch Michael's RUclips channel (drawn in by the mob stories I'm sure) but Michael's message about how ALL things are possible through our Lord and Savior has begun to stick with him as well and he asks me about God as much as he does about mob life. I know God placed Michael in front of him to strengthen his relationship with Him at such an impressionable age. God bless you and your family Michael, and I can't thank you enough for what you're doing through your stories and testimony. Your brother in Christ, Jamie.
@John Smith - Because maybe Jesus knew he needed to be a mobster in order to find him. Also, Jesus gives you free will. It's YOUR responsibility to come to him. He doesn't force/stop you from doing something.
@John Smith ..... Jesus was Jewish. You already lose
@John Smith - I didn't know Jesus was Jewish? I just told you he was Jewish.....
@John Smith - Jesus was Jewish. He followed the old testament. He never claimed to be "Christian" because it didn't exist yet lol. You are very, very dumb. "I love exposing people like you" yet you literally are just showing that you know nothing about the topic you are arguing about lmao
@John Smith - Wtf are you talking about? lmao. You lost the argument so now you are talking about how much you know and Russia. Hahah
God use us all in different ways, I believe you are conveying your faith in a positive way. The fact that you are talking about the Mob life is important to how you use and express your testimonial. God Bless you Michael and keep up the good work.
Once Michael Franzese becomes POTUS we will finally have world peace.
Paulo Eclectik currently it’s Donald Trump, POTUS is an acronym for President of the United States.
“That Russian guy....Yeah Putin....tell Carmine he’s gotta go.”
That's not a bad idea at all! At least he's got nothing to hide, since his criminal past is known to all and forgiven... In 4 years, I'll be on his side for sure!
Just a gifted storyteller. Keep it going, friend.
Mr. Franzese, that was one of the most powerfull stories I've heard from you yet! I think the best quality of a person is taking responsibility for their actions. To be accountable for the things you do both good and bad! You have this quality. It's the quality of an honest person! We can not change the past but we can change who we are. Your ability to recognize this is truly a blessing. I too along with you hope you have a few more years. Thank you sir.
i just looked up andrew russo. He never got clipped. Artie wasnt the underboss, andy was. So why did they clip artie for what the underboss said? wtf
Because Artie was pushing it without caring about the repercussions
@@akagsharif5175 Artie had not respect!
Hey, Mike. I was wondering out of all your years "in the life" who was the ONE GUY that shook you to your core, and the ONE GUY you had THE MOST respect for??
Sean Adonis “that was in our life” yeah ok made guy...Alex I take $500 for shit that never happened
Think the answer was his father
It sure as hell wasn't Gottti. I don't think Michael liked him very much. Gotti had a big mouth.
Michael, despite the language barrier, I couldn't appreciate more what you're doing, starting with super high-quality entartaining content to all the life lessons, words of encouragement, especially in those uncertain times, your always calm and calming tone really helps keeping everything together. Obviously, you won't recognize me, but I even attented some of your public speeches, years before this destructious pandemic. And was really grateful for being able to see you once again on youtube after so many years. Sure as heaven and our Lord's name, will continue on following the action, probably mostly lowkey as I'm not always able to come up with nice message)
Your channel now is only thing keeping me good company, so...
Best possible wishes to you and your great family, Michael, you've really achieved a lot. Keep it coming!
You have the God given gift of coming across as extremely authentic
I believe he is 100 percent truthful, with the whole catholic thing. I believe it all.
Appreciate what you’re doing for the community, salute
Your a True inspiration!! I love these stories, I learn so much from hearing stories like this!! Love it!!
What I love about your content is that you provide a clear reference for the way you were thinking. Not glory, not bragging, but just trying to help your dad. Things get out of hand, you go with the flow, and then you're in too deep
I would Love to see a movie about your whole life, including the change that you made! you can really feel the positive energy you want to provide, keep it up!
I love it that he brings Christ into his videos. This is what separates him too me
@Chris Turnbull lmao sky fairy
I may have to join just to inquire into your insight on father son relations in a not "average" american father son relationship. You had a super rough one. Your pain is obvious and lessons learned useful. Other than that you are extremely charismatic and entertaining. Joining ia worth that on its own. :) good stuff
Thank you my brother in Christ... I enjoy the Mob stories as everyone does, But the way you're dedicated to God and your family is WAY BETTER
What is God?
What are you actually referring to when you use the word God?
Praying Mantis... For me it's Jesus Christ
@@jameslightfoot9465
So God is a human being?
I believe in the Christian god...The father, The son, and the Holy spirit. The son is Jesus Christ and at one point he came to earth as a human being
@@jameslightfoot9465
I understand people believe in and attributes things to different kinds of God's, Christian, Hindu, Etc.
My question is, what exactly is God?
I'm not asking which one you believe in, I'm asking what it actually is.
Thanks for another great story, Mr Franzeze! Again, very engaging! I’d love to hear more about women associated to the life - wives, daughters, girlfriends... Were women ever knowledgable of their husbands/fathers affairs? What role did women play to the made men of the Mob? I’d love to hear more! Thanks so much for another great Mob Story Monday! Take care - Charlotte
Think the woman were treated like shit. Like in Goodfellas where all the guys had loads girlfriends on the side and the wives could do nothing about it. And i doubt they knew anything about the business or life.
Dublins Fair City good fellas is not abt made man italian mafia.. its more abt mafia associates and how they operate on low level.
I am a 43 Year old woman and a this is the only channel on RUclips that has me glued to the screen I swear I haven't blinked since I started watching
Please blink
Lol yeah I love this channel in all things good fellas if you know what I mean
Mob story mondays are what mondays are for. I'll never get tired of listening to this boss.
This man is a very talented and incredible story teller, could listen to him for hours.
