Mike the type of guy to tell the Feds :“Look, here‘s the deal.“
Ha ha. Yep that’s him.
Probably
I agree.
You don't get to profit off your notoriety as a criminal/murderer unless you cooperate with the Feds, period.
Barry Case I’ll second that! 100%
Michael Franzese needs a Netflix series, especially about his life and those around him.
that's right
and. The NAME of the series will be..................
wait for it..................
FUGETABOUT IT
haha
"Here's the deal, with Michael J Franzese"
Let me tell you this
I don’t know about Netflix but I do know that they are already in the process of making a series about his life
*_Ezequiel 18.21 “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. 23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live? 24 “But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die._*
_Only Jesus Christ saves. Repent and be saved. Jesus Christ loves you. GOD bless you and peace be upon you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ._
I love your turn-around, Mike. I was a crack-head for 25 years; the Holy Spirit saved me. I'm eleven years crack-free, a homeowner, a published author, and an elected public official. Life is good, brother!
Read the bible n pray everyday go for fasting occasionally and check out derek prince
Obama smoked crack while being a senator! I’m assuming he had a few pipes go tink and crack in half in the Oval Office lol
@@wondon2992 No he didn’t he only smoked weed in college. George Bush was a coke head in college though.
@@wondon2992 And Trump does a bunch of adderall which is just legal meth so
must be from DC
Love his understatement.
Hell on Earth = "Wasn't a good place."
Brutally murdered = "Going to be in some trouble."
Serial killer = "Wasn't a nice guy."
Lol
That's good but you have them all backwards...
Wasn't a good place = Hell on earth. Euphemisms only work in one direction.
@@kenmount294 Logical ‘=‘ along with quotations make the statement unilateral.
🤣
Love that. Everything conveys toughness in mob lingo
Been following him for years, but Michael Franzese is putting the best content on TH-cam right now.
Karl Hamilton 100%
@xLucky Sinz LOL, unfortunately not. Would be cool if he was though.
Damn straight....by far
Michael its just doing what he is best for.He catch the moment make the scheme and make a lot of money.Its Covid and Michael find out that he can make a lot of moneys and became more famous on youtube social medias now that people are home and earn a lot of views and moneys.He is a very intelligent bussinesman and he is working seriously for that.
Yes he has. Taking care of senior parents this is great to listen when I have alone time😁
I learn more here than at school
School of hard knocks always teaches more
That’s sad
school just aint cut out for some people i guess
It’s because of the teacher not the content, tho the story is cool 😎 I mean for fucks sakes I listen to this prick yak about home schooling 😂😂 he’s an engaging speaker
@@johnv6806 But it leaves you a little bruised and lumpy!! lol!
“Prison is for fools” a lot of these young guys needed to hear that because they think it’s so cool to not see their family and miss out on important things as a child like prom or going on a date, so much life your missing because you wanted to be “cool”. Thank you again.
Rich is gangster. Staying out that prison and making lots of money legally. Put your family straight
@donkey face jordan nah look up ms 13 or 18 street gang members they literly said on camera they would put there gang before family because gang was there family
John Doe Real shit 💯
@@boruto4162 wasn't his point, I suppose. While I generally would say, that people who try will get somewhere in life legally, not all crimes happen because someone tries to be cool or whatever. You're talking about gang members. Whole different mindset. But someone who just struggles in life, and has to worry about if there is any food even tomorrow, and goes ahead and steals something.. yeah, it's not great, but I find that excusable. Once violence comes in, different story. But stuff like, idk, stealing some flour, rice, noodles, just basic groceries in a supermarket to have something to eat, shouldn't be judged too harshly. Giving such kids jailtime is counterproductive.
Give them community service, and given the circumstances that lead to the crime, let them do the service where there's a chance they can come home with some food, if they're doing well. Not to reward the crime, but to offer a perspective.
If nothing changes during the community service, the crime will just happen again. And again. And again.
@@noneofyourbusiness4294 ?????
My brother took going to jail very badly.He refused any offers of drink and food,cursed and spat at anyone who would talk or even approach him and smeared his own feaces all over the walls....
After that we never played monopoly again
Very well
Had me in the first half not gonna lie
How bout chess?
😂😂😂
@icepick - LOL - Good one!
WHAT IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE IS THAT YOU HAVE LAID OUT A MODERN CHANNEL WITH OLD SCHOOL WISDOM. I SALUTE YOUR ABILTY TO ADAPT AND KNOW THE PRODUCT YOU ARE PRODUCING.
Cut it out with the Caps-lock will ya?
damn badger fuh getta bout it
Myeah thank you very much see Myeah Myeah
They called him Jimmy " caps lock", because he always used caps lock.
@@desertweasel6965 haha
When Mr. Franzese says “Look, let me be clear” or “Listen, here’s the deal”, just go ahead and clear your schedule for the day and grab the popcorn because you’re about to be amazed, entertained, and educated all at once. Mr. Franzese give me a thumbs up if you read this. Thanks for your wisdom. God bless, sir.
Yeeees. Thats the best part of these vidssss.
Clear your schedule for the day 😂😂😂
Except the videos are short. Maybe clear an hour.
He’s a great motivational speaker. He can turn the life around of a person going down the wrong path.
The man is blessed in every way
I love how he says Menendez.😂 I could listen to Michael talk for days and never get bored. This is a real OG here.
Damn straight
There is a reason Mike was one of the highest earning mafia members....he was just smarter than the others
Brains and balls seem to get you a heck of a lot farther in that life than brawn.
Jimmy Burke was never a made guy, but from everything Ive read, held more power than a lot of low to mid-level capos. Sonny Black was living in a cheap apartment with old furniture. Burke was taking down million dollar scores.
Carlo Gambino was a tiny, unassuming old man who didn’t stand out at all except for his large nose. But he was sharp as a scalpel and greatly respected.
Galante, Vario, Massino, and Sonny are among the few who had brains to go along with their intimidating presence.
Sure, and now he’s ripping off desperate ”believers”, disgusting!
Well, if he is smarter then other mafioso, please explain why he got caught and some of then are still walking out there?
Take a look at the actual Italian maffia. The highest bosses haven’t been seen in public for ages, but they are still calling the shots.
Michael "I'll tell you this" FRANZESE.
and when he does interviews he is called Michael "Well look" Franzese
@Technics Technishion I kno' bruh. Smh. Must be a mob thing.
“I says”
Technics Technishion that’s exactly what i was thinking every time he said “i’ll tell you a couple of things”
🤣🤣🤣
Mike should be the "Dos Equis" guy. He's the most interesting man alive.
The Menendez case was the oj trial before the oj trial. LA was like the wild west in the early 90s
I used to work with a guy named Lyle. Were always called the Menendez brothers when this was all going on.
Word has it lyle menendez was a solid dude and the brothers killed their parents because the dad was molesting eric.watch gunnerz collective video about him.they were cellmates in prison
Michael you’ve really shown me in your videos that regardless of what you went through, if you don’t give up on what you want good things can happen.
💯💯💯
If we had teachers, instructors, professors, etc. this captivating and engaging, our collective intelligence would rise.
This man is the lone survivor among 6 guys whom he took an oath along with in the 70s,and also the lone survivor among top 50 mafias who had been making millions in the 80s. So this shows us how wise and meticulous man he is.
Michael has the best intro music to his channel 😍
2 VIDEOS IN 2 DAYS .. MY NIGHT JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT BETTER 😀 .. THANKS MICHAEL !! 🙏🏻
God bless you for walking away from that life so you can speak and inspire people to become wiser and better people!
Articulate, engaging, intelligent & interesting without glamorising. Love his stories & listening to him talk
Great stories as usual mate . A few years ago 1 guy around 50 yrs old asked me why I wasn't embarrassed by not being in prison, I said I would be far more embarrassed if I had done prison time which he found out to be puzzling. This is the mentality of certain individuals, IMO it is a badge of honour for guys like him but sad also.
Michael, you’re too cool man, just the way you tell stories is something else. Thanks for the videos
He never lets the truth get in the way of a good story
@@ROC14088 And yet you're here listening to him telling his stories.
John Smith You're a funny guy!
Mannnn I loveeeee this channel. Appreciate your consistent uploads boss!
Mr. Franzese is one of the best story tellers on TH-cam. Fascinating to hear what went on directly from the source.
Michael Franzese Keep them coming Mike! Sure wont be long until you’ve got millions of followers. I’ve recommended your channel to around 40-50 guys who i work with 👍🏻
@@michaelfranzese %ggg%
Loot from 1000 whacks when?
Wasn’t expecting to see a fellow RS content creators comment here
Over the Top Brother!! I’m a Pastor and enjoy your stories, I have a back ground of crime, drugs and prison but by Gods Grace I’m straight now. I relate to a lot of your content and find it fascinating. Press ON Brother!!
Mike you're an incredible story teller and a stand up guy. Blessed to have come across your channel. Keep up the amazing content.
When he says “ I can write another book & talk about prison all day”, honestly I’d buy all of it ! I can listen to this All Day! Love You Michael Franzese! God Bless You !!!
My grandfather died at 71 years old and I though he had the best stories even! Fictional of course but when he told them I listens to him
Like I’m listening to Michael right now
Here in the UK,the young fellers think prison is a badge of honour. They think it makes them untouchable because people think there tough. Thanks Michael really enjoying your chats.
They think that here in the States as well. It's sad.
This guy should have his own weekly 1 hour television show. What a story teller Michael is. I could listen to him for hours on end. Well done
74k subscribers already. Brilliant.
This channel is picking up about 5k a day. Totally deserved.
I respect you so much sir! You always have something good to say. God bless you 🙏 ❤
I could listen to Michael tell stories about anything for hours. Not only does he have great stories to tell, but the way he tells it is outstanding.
I always get immersed in these stories and the Reason is I feel like you are telling the story directly to me, which makes the whole thing so much more relatable, like a wise uncle who lets you know that while you might make some money, your going to eventually pay a heavy price for it.
University of Michael Franzese
From one convict to another, Thank you Mike. I can’t even tell you how much your stories are an encouragement for the betterment of others and myself as well. Good for you! Keep it up! This is the path God chose for you. Thanks again for your stories and God bless you!
Straight up, I could sit and listen to Michael talk all day. One hell of a great story teller!!
An inspiring man, thank you Michael. I'm coming up to 15 years sober and still have time to listen to him.
I'm glad you made it through that life and are able to share your experiences with us. Thank you Michael!
@@michaelfranzese I'm from Texas when you did time in the southern, SW states did you come across the Mexican mafia
Love your stories Mr. Mike. May the most high be with you.
All your videos are very inspiring. I admire you’re way of looking back into to the past, without glorification or ignorance. Expensive, serious lessons learned from consequences you either knew was gonna come or not - the important thing is how you’re dealing with it now, which in my opinion is something that takes a lot of guts AND brains, and I’m sure that you’ve straightened the path and influenced a lot of people with all you’re stories, and will continue to do so.
Nice to hear Mike's insight into Jeffrey MacDonald. Read the book back in the eighties and never did buy in to his goofy story about the crazy hippies that killed his wife and daughters. Especially on a major military base. Even though he was married, MacDonald was quite the player and it just caught up to him. He wanted out. Another great story, Michael!
You need to look into this, there is much evidence confirming Dr. MacDonald's 'goofy story'. This, not to mention the military police's typical sloppy methodology combined with the Army's incessant need to wrap things up quickly.
Oh, and on a personal note- ---phuck you and every know it all commentator who so easily condemns a man based upon a quick judgment----fire in his eyes--lots of men have 'death in their eyes' from time to time----so what?
Michael: I can sit here all day telling stories
Me: I can sit here all day and listen to your stories
Sameeee lol
Michal you honestly need to direct then next Mafia game. Finally make the Mafia gentle popular again
Michael you inspire me to be a better man and I can't thank you enough for that. Your life is a true testament to the fact that nothing is ever over. I appreciate you for sharing your life with us and teaching me to forgive myself. God bless you brother! The more I know the more I grow. You're a huge part of that in my life. Great to see you on this platform.
Michael has the best stories I could sit here all day and listen to him
Every time I finish one of these videos I have a smile on my face, informative, entertaining.
Your channel is growing fast, I’m happy to see that but also not surprised. Keep up the good work
I love when someone can tell a good story ... Thank you for sharing your life.
Michael,
I caught a lot of your interviews with Patrick Bet David and djvlad, which I think were great and informative, and now I have found your channel. Thank you for you. We are the same age, I'm several months older than you. I'll be 70 in February, and I think that I once heard you say you're in June. I live in Florida, but I'm born and raised in Northern NJ., and spent my first 46 years there, and which I still consider home. Like you, I've been through a lot, but not prison. Anyone who achieves 70 years on this earth has been through a lot. Everyone has a story. I'm looking forward to all of your content, and again, I thank you. I was sorry to hear about your father's passing. He did have an extra long life, although much of it without his freedom.
I cannot think of anyones story that is more captivating. He is a brilliant speaker and so humble. So glad he turned to the Lord in the end. God bless you and your family Michael !
When that intro music comes on you just know this video is gonna be good
I think it’s great that you turned your life around and are reaching out to others who have taken the wrong path in life or just made a bad decision. I was really moved when I watched your video about your last sit down. It’s easy to see why the Lord kept you alive through everything. God bless you and your work.
Great story Michael, wish they were 2hours. God bless you and family. Stay safe
So happy that I found your channel, been following your previous interviews - speeches - documentaries you appeared in but this way of you sharing your memories, experiences are a lot more "personal" and educative. Even though I am from a couple of thousand miles away, across the ocean, some places you mention means nothing to me but I love listening to what you share with us. Thank you!
God bless you Michael and stay safe!
You can tell that Micheal was different from everyone based on the way he carried himself.
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel. It grants me such perspective! Thank you
Michael's a great story teller....the cherry on top is that these stories are non fabricated...there's nothing but genuine honesty written on this guy's face ....in my opinion...it's why Michael's still alive ......cheers and Merry Christmas Michael and family 🌲
Michael,you make my 12 hour shift easier to get through because i love listening to your brilliant stories during my quiet spells.i'm from England and have always been fascinated in the mafia and the mob life.Your stories of your experiences educate us all that as glamourous as the movies sometimes portray it the reality is beyond your worst nightmares.your video's WILL guide kids to avoid a life of crime and that is something you should be very proud of.god bless.
i would love to see Michael go on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast
Yes!!!! That would be awesome!
Why so he can ask him is does dmt or smokes weed? Lol
Thats preposterous!!
If Michael wasn't a Christian I'd say 100% he'll be a guest sooner rather than later BUT Rogan is very anti-Christ. Joe's content is great mind you and I'm a fan but he loves to mock God, the Bible and Faith in general. Not sure he'd want to help a real saint like Michael.
He was on hotbox’in check that out if you have not
My God, what a great storyteller this man is! I feel lucky for discovering him, his advice, his wisdom... thank you!
Mike is by far the the most amazing story teller on TH-cam I can never get bored watching him tell his story which is why it is so special as it is his story and his advise is first class much respect to you Micheal
Michael, always great positive advice. God Bless!
Michael you got a good heart and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on your life experience a lot of people need to hear this. Great story’s i learn more and more by listening
Thanks for all this great content, Michael. I'd just about exhausted all of your other interviews on TH-cam, so for you to now have your own channel putting out your own content is perfect. Much love and stay safe!
So glad you have a TH-cam channel now! Nothing better than sitting down with someone that has amazing stories to tell! Love the content brother!
Thankyou for your honesty. You are definitely one of the people who uses social media the way it was supposed to...hope you keep at it❤
Thanks again Mr Michael!!.. watching you from Aguascalientes, México.. may God bless you and your family always stay safe!
You’re absolutely fascinating Mike. I’m glad I’ve discovered your channel, your stories are amazing.
Keep up the good work Mike. Your blowing up quick on this platform, your capable of having a massive following with your popularity on here. We love hearing your point of view and learning more about the life you lived, and live today. Best of luck
These stories are amazing. Very happy I found your channel. I look forward to all of your videos.
Hey Michael!
Thank you! For making this channel I love it
Could listen to you all day, Michael.
Thank you for sharing all your life experiences and cautionary tales with us. 👍🏼
Michael I'm new to the channel. And all I can say is you have tons of knowledge, wisdom, and life experience. Thank you!
Hey Mike you really do have a way of explaining things from the beginning to now. Actually ment your dad at Tmms trucking in Glendale queens 40yrs ago Joe broncato nephew Tony use to run the place! As a young man your dad when seeing him gave me some good qualities and as I can see gave a lot to you!
Thanks for Sharing and giving an insight to your life. A true inspiration.
The lack of BS in his stories is amazing...
@big boss that he's not bullshitin in his story an being honest an real
I am glad that you are teaching the young by your mistakes. Most young people are interested in the money. I think a great message to include would be about how once you have plenty of money you can still find yourself unhappy about things. I feel that most kids and young men believe that once you have money that all your problems are gone. This is so far from true. It takes away that constantly worrying about it but money is not a fix it all. God Bless
I watched "Gotti" based on your recommendation. They depicted a similar setting with Wise Guys eating special foods in what looked like a special chow hall.....
It was a good flick though. A refreshing change from the "Scorsese type" mob films.
Scorsese actually said in an interview that the prison scene in Goodfellas with them eating all the food wasn’t too far off from the information they gathered in real life... so idk maybe it did happen just in certain state level facilities and certainly not at the federal level
My dad and uncle did 8 years in federal prison in Nevada in the 90s they weren't connected with the mob but there was a lot of mob guys there, anyways my uncle had a guard who would bring them in liquor and once in awhile a whole chicken or Turkey
Honestly, I hope you mean the 1996 movie with Armahd Assante.. not the one with John Travolta, - that one was terrible..
Walk Alone the one with Asante was classic the travolta one was terrible
@@brett8074 Yeah, that's the one.
Always good content Michael!
Been hooked ever since I subscribed last week!
Keep up your stories! Especially those that seek the word!
I’m so happy that I found your channel sir, I was hoping you would start one. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom. Great content, may God bless you.
Your more my family than my family...I learn so much from you Micheal and you've helped me thru my marriage. Thank you for everything you do. #salute and God bless
Another brilliant video👌🏽Michael if you don’t mind me asking in one of your next videos could you speak about the modern day mob in New York, young guys in their late teens and early 20s who are in the mob, and will they come back stronger than they did in the 80s. Your work is amazing and I’m so glad you made a channel❤️
Here to learn something new from Michael as always! A bit caught up hustling with work but will sure spread the word about this wonderful channel.
I could watch this man talk for hours! Best content on TH-cam right now.
Was in for nine years in Beto 1 one of the roughest prisons in the state of Texas makes a man appreciate his family and freedom
I love your stories and your wisdom and insight, thank you very much for sharing, god bless
I was always very fascinated with the life of the Cosa Nostra and even thought it would be a good idea to get involved in that kind of lifestyle. After watching many of this mans videos he tells the real story and talks about the bad stuff that happens behind closed doors.
I am slowly catching up on watching your channel. All and everything you talk about in your videos reflects a great combination of street smarts, knowledge and a gift of being able to read people. That combined with wisdom and your compassion for other people makes your channel the most interesting for me to this day. Please keep them coming, your passion has more impact than you are possibly aware of. With that again, thank you Michael!
I pray you stay healthy and live a prosperous life that enriches others like you’re doing now Michael. I’ve been following your content and life story for quite some time and I am very grateful to have come across it. You are full of life lessons! I pray that the lord forgave you for the past life as it is not what defines you and this 180 turnaround! God bless good sir and keep up the excellent work!
I’m so happy he made his own TH-cam channel 😍😍😍😍
Brilliant mike. As per usual.
God bless u.
Michael, please do one on what the ideal rehabilitation system should be. And we love how you speak to us, it's so personal. Keep doing what you do. Much love.
Thanks for sharing Mr. Franzese. I’ll never get tired of listening to your stories and I know you’ll never run out so that’s a win-win in my book. God bless!!
If you ever gets advise or suggestions from Michael Franzese, don't ever throw it away even if you feel or think that it's weird, funny, illogical or anything, because that's a word from a wise man & that's how he's being surviving for so long.
This bloke so real.
Yes he's flesh and bone like the rest of us!
I really enjoy your content and stories Michael. You have me rethinking the life I’m living. I’m not a gangster or anything like that, but I’ve been on a very self destructive path the last few years. After being clean for almost a decade I slipped and fell back into it, but listening to you makes me want to change. God bless you Michael.
Good luck my friend, hang in there.
It’s impossible not to get hype when hearing the intro music and “it’s Michael Franzese”
