It was a great episode.You guys are old-school and you both tell it like it is.Something I really like about Michaels channel is the warmth that comes through. Unlike a lot of hosts who just ask a list of set questions and don't know how to make their guests relax, Michael and his guests just seem so natural and talk like old friends.👊 And you both have fathers who were absolute legends and the REAL guys that The Godfather, Casino and Little Caesar are about.People my age always love Goodfellas, Casino,Godfather but have hardly ever seen Cagney or Edward G.Robinson!! Love the show.Peace
"Take the crime out and we have the best morals in the world and those morals would save this country". Truer words have never been spoken. He is spot on.
that hit me as someone whose family employed the triads. the old school mobsters who all paid respects to my grandfather have always said that if people actually followed the "36 oaths" to a tee, gangster or not, it'd be world peace.
Michael. I listen to you all the time for wisdom and truth.. Our peoples are much the same. Being from Appalachia, we take care of family, too.God bless you and keep you.
Speaking of which, the faimilies in Chicago and the Appalachian people had a relationship during prohibition.. We made most of the liquor for Capone during the 1920s. I have heard of people’s grandparents getting busted for moonshine and they would go to prison and meet up with a Chicago guy and so the Chicago people would buy the guy some land and corn and all he needed to make the good ol Mountain Dew…So to speak.
I have watched a ton of YTube videos, but never left a single comment, your sitdowns are perfect. Please keep it real, with family, honestly, and truth, this is what OUR country is missing. THANK YOU.!
A great sit down between proper gentlemen! We have to do everything we can to set this world straight,the non negotiables have to be forefront of everything!
Watching Chris Colombo speaking and think to myself: He is real life Tony Soprano, the way he speaks, the gestures…Great conversation both of you. Thanks!
I thank God for you everyday Michael. Having a voice speaking common sense today is so rare. Some who do cannot be trusted. You have shown yourself to be a straight forward voice willing to say what needs said. God Bless you, your family and team.
Michael, your country needs you, about time your Gutfeld episode aired, good job... Michael Franzese for US PRESIDENT! Camille Franzese for First Lady, bring the dignity and respect it deserves, back to the Whitehouse. 🎉 ❤ In Franzese We Trust, with God always by your side.
I would vote for Mr. Franzese. What a testament to one turning his life around!! He is fascinating, a gentleman, and devoted to his wife and children. Walk in God's light, Michael.
Enjoyed listening to you and Michael remembering and sharing your past. Im 73, but I'm so thankful for my dad and the rules that he sat down. The old ways.👍
It's always a pleasure to listen to your videos. You're wise and Godly. You hit the nail right on the head: EVERYTHING starts with courtesy and respect. Speaking of mothers, I am also a wooden spoon survivor. Mom was 5' tall. Her nickname was Taz.
I love what Chris said about taking the crime out of organized crime and the morals will set the country straight. I wish someone would write a book about using mob practices to teach life lessons. Things like how to dress or act in social situations. It could be very helpful for men who were raised without fathers and could benefit from that guidance that your father instilled in you. Kind of a " mafia guide to being a man".
My generation…our parents were disgusted by addicts, total stigma, not saying right or wrong, saying it was treated as a negative moral judgement. Fast forward, this generation coming up, they BRAG, yes BRAG, about their anti anxiety meds. They sit online all day and don’t know how to get up, get dressed (none of this athleisure yoga pants sh**), carry yourself with self respect, get out, and talk to people. I had breakfast with my grandparents and Dad every Sat, didn’t matter that I lived in hotels in Beverly Hills, every Fri, I’d take the red eye to Fl, get off the plane, straight to Grandma for our “Sat sit down”. Best storytelling and memories of my life. I learned a lot.
Great interview. I learn more about my life today by watching your podcast. Gas tax in AL just got raised. Chris Columbo is wise no doubt and who can’t love this man
What a great sit down. Mike you’re absolutely right. You became a mentor for me at 36 years old. I survived a meth and fentanyl addiction and am now a recovery group facilitator that helps people get clean and sober. I now have another mentor and that’s Mr. Colombo here. Thank you so much for this guys. I was going through a bit of a rough patch the past few days and this has helped me immensely. Thanks so much guys
I love how he calls him Chrissy.. thats complete love and respect like real family.. i have a cousin chris and he told me later in life that when he was in high school he hated when my dad called him Chrissy.. my dad was his gym teacher and football coach.. my dad passed in 2000 and he told me " paul i wish he could call me Chrissy one more time " and i immediately got wet in the eyes
It was hilarious hearing your stories about getting a beat down from mom. I have stories of dad beating me down..growing up in housing projects in East Los Angeles Maravilla district.
Chris's statement,Politicians Didn't Write The Constitution absolutely right! Michael love your show. Wonderful content,this mentorship program is going to be a great success! Just in passing in interview with Chris , another team member on board fantastic!! I believe that this will grow also. With saying that, how is this going to be presented? Merry Christmas to you & your families.
God bless the both of you , pass on this message , Control your Mind , don't let your Mind Take Control of you and your body , healthy and it took me to believe in myself to understand life .
Youu said the key word ""Not at that age,never need anything""give up your seat and go enjoy your families...Glad youu touched on the subject of politics...
Great conversation! You guys are great and make me miss the old days when people were respectful and looking out for each other Hopefully you guys together can bring that back
Michael, I started watching your channel just under a month ago and I can honestly say that you truly are an inspiration I can't speak for anyone else but for me you are. You're honest caring you don't glamourise what you did in the past but still are able to use your experiences to offer advice and impart your knowledge and wisdom, so again thank you listening to you has got me out of several low moods and for that I thank you, gonna buy your book soon and can't wait . Take care
YASSSSS I think this sit down with Chris (pt. 1) was easily my favorite sit down of all of your videos Michael! I’ve been a fan since day one of your channel and so I’m so excited to listen to part two! ❤
Great sit down, beautiful guys, the both of ya's!! Hats off you both along with few others, i wont mention here, irrelevant, but the inspiration and wisdom i gain from you guys are impeccable!!! MAY GOD BE WITH US ALL!!!
I really like and respect Michael. His testimony fills me with hope and awe. I do not agree with his politics one bit or his views on Andrew Tate, but I like and respect this gentleman! Also, I think I may have really learned from him how to be more tolerant of other people’s views and beliefs.
Michael is by far the king of this genre. it's not even close. I have listened to his content since the early VLAD videos before his own channel. He just brings you in. Its no shock he was so successful within the Colombo Family. Fast riser to Capo and one of the best earners in the mob of all time. He is a fantastic speaker. I thought it was funny, every once in awhile you will catch something that reminds you he was made man and Capo in the life. "They didn't learn anything when they was young" Always a good listen.
This was a good show. Loved it. God Bless them and their families. Yes, God has to be our number 1 priority. Forget your past wrong decisions and focus on God and your salvation. GOD, Family , Country.
I listen to your videos to help me calm down. Very interesting to hear about the old days, see some you OG's sitn down with a new outlook and purpose in this life. Great stuff.
Great video Michael, really glad you upload your videos, love hearing about your life and beliefs aswell, starting to read one of your books aswell. Loved the video with you and Sammy the bull, great content, and huge respect for leaving that life behind and concentrating on your family!
This was a great video! Very inspirational and touching at times, seeing you both reminisce about the old days, maybe tear up a bit. I love how you both overcame hard times and now are trying to help others! Love all the advice your fathers gave to you both! I think they would be so proud of you both!!❤❤🙏🙏...I learned alot from this video!🙏🫶
We do need guys like this with these morals and beliefs And someone that really cares about the country. These guys get it. And when they say close the border and get a plan together and straightening everything out. They're not saying That we don't want no one to come this country They just have to do it Legally , and we have to get a plan together to fix everything. Been a big fan Michael, you drop a lot of knowledge. And chris seems like a very smart do Dude as well
So I'm late to the party...but you guys grew up with a moral compass that a lot of folks would never have experienced. I had this. My family Catholic Irish. What's wrong in having a moral compass What's wrong in having a decency in life. May our genetics live on ❤️
You are a great man Michael, not surprised though when you grew up and had a father like you did for as long as you did. Like they say, the apple don’t fall far from the tree. I’m sure your father was more than proud of you 🙏🏻
Michael, I have always been a kid that worshiped occult and brotherhoods, usually the ones that respect the silence and most importantly the brotherhood. I absolutely love your content it has slowly helped me become a better man, a more efficient man, you’re wisdom is so great it overflows with charisma, thank you Michael, would love a reply 😂
Michael I always appreciate and value what you have to say in all ur content. It was a shame you weren’t able to make up to Vancouver this year but your video message sent thru too Coastal church was great. Was really looking forward to meeting you in person and hopefully next time there’s no bumps in the road. God bless you and ur beautiful family. 🙏🏼
Chris I've watched some near death experiences on youtube of people saying exactly what you said about not talking but communicating through your mind, very interesting, I also believe the people and you.
@@sam-the-man8500 was it really that funny cus I said an interview was good ? Some of you ppl on here are something else lol .. I ovi didn’t know n didn’t know he had a channel .. so yea
I was all for the Italian American Civil Rights League. Know you're history and remember what we as a people went through 100 years ago in this country. Regarding drugs no doubt it watered down my generation. Its a shame what happened with our thing.
I truly believe the drug problems that exist in this country have been perpetrated by the us government. It can be stopped. They just dont want it stopped. It causes the public to be dependent on go ernment
I'm also from the "whatever was next to her", school of discipline from my mother . It stopped ( for a while) when she pulled the phone out of the wall...when she found out she had to pay money to have it reinstalled!! LOL.

Somebody needs a backhand over there in hollywierd for not signing you to a multi-movie deal.. you're an amazing natural character .. I'm in awe
@@TrickyRickyDickyhe has an hbo pilot 😂
@@zurnation3709 I'm referring to Mr Columbo, he has a pilot deal?
That was awesome and love your motivation and your quotes!
"Never empower negativity". Damn I like that!!!!
Omgosh this statement, simply means so much, endless and priceless! Amen, to God be the Glory
"Take the crime out and we have the best morals in the world and those morals would save this country". Truer words have never been spoken. He is spot on.

2 reformed men who changed their lives and are now trying to give back. It doesnt get any better than that folks. Salute!
Chris is by far my favorite guest you’ve brought on what a stand up guy
Michael I love your videos. It’s an honor to hear you speak!! Stay safe and God’s blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏻❤️
AGREED
may i add inspirational as well!!!
I have watched a ton of YTube videos, but never left a single comment, your sitdowns are perfect. Please keep it real, with family, honestly, and truth, this is what OUR country is missing. THANK YOU.!

Watching Chris Colombo speaking and think to myself: He is real life Tony Soprano, the way he speaks, the gestures…Great conversation both of you. Thanks!
Wow, went back and watched a few spots again and you are right.
Absolutely right!
I love Chris. You two together are an awesome combination !!
I thank God for you everyday Michael. Having a voice speaking common sense today is so rare. Some who do cannot be trusted. You have shown yourself to be a straight forward voice willing to say what needs said. God Bless you, your family and team.
This is fantastic we need you back the world would be a better place much respect you give respect you get respect
Michael, your country needs you, about time your Gutfeld episode aired, good job... Michael Franzese for US PRESIDENT! Camille Franzese for First Lady, bring the dignity and respect it deserves, back to the Whitehouse. 🎉 ❤ In Franzese We Trust, with God always by your side.
Id vote for em
@@chriskatz2355 for one night and one night only, if Michael ran, I'd allow myself to act like a Democrat & I'd vote multiple times!
He's gonna need a full pardon, right? I'd vote for both these gentlemen
I would vote for Mr. Franzese. What a testament to one turning his life around!! He is fascinating, a gentleman, and devoted to his wife and children. Walk in God's light, Michael.
Enjoyed listening to you and Michael remembering and sharing your past. Im 73, but I'm so thankful for my dad and the rules that he sat down. The old ways.👍
Greg Is top shelf Pastor !! Bravo your in great hands .
May His Grace And Light Shine Upon You and your family always 🙏🙏 Keep Shining 🌟
Michael gives me proof there’s hope for what ever you want to accomplish no matter what it is, love this guy
It's always a pleasure to listen to your videos. You're wise and Godly. You hit the nail right on the head: EVERYTHING starts with courtesy and respect. Speaking of mothers, I am also a wooden spoon survivor. Mom was 5' tall. Her nickname was Taz.
Me too Steve. I always said my mother was 4' 11" of bone crushing terror!!
My sister laughed one time because my mother broke the wooden spoon on her. She wasn't laughing after the plastic one came out.
@@sammiches6859 Same here. She would just get more angry and look for something heavier to hit me with 😀
