Whats hilarious is the way they talk, its two guys back in the neighborhood sharing some time together and talking. No pretension, just talk. Love this pod.
Dealt with berkowitz for years at Sullivan correctional facility. B north cell 233 he got transferred out a couple years ago. Delivered his newspaper and thousands of letters from fans all around the world. He was very respectful and nice.
Dang very cool to see your post.. I could ask a million questions
We don't know how much of the son of Sam story is true.
Heard the comedian from Brooklyn Chris DeStefano talk about how his uncle by marriage was in prison with Berkie. Swears he said he shot & killed all those people. But had help. 😮
@@samanthab1923 You think he was an MK-ULTRA victim?
@@TheKitchenerLeslie I don’t know
Lovely to hear Michael opening up the way he did. Thank you. What a life he has led & can just imagine the interesting stories he won’t mention. Great show. Love these gentlemen 🏴
My mom was in DC when he was caught. Her and her friends heard on the radio and they started celebrating. Man were they glad he got caught.
I loved this so much . David and I have been writing back and forth for over a year now the Lord led me to write him and it is a true blessing! I’m so grateful to call David my dear brother in Christ and good friend thank you so much Michael for your testimony nothing is impossible for Christ God bless you both ❤️🙏
I wasn't even born yet when that happened. But I lived in Maryland during the DC Sniper (some of the shootings happened in Maryland). And after a child was shot my mom was afraid of driving me to school.
They also did a feature film guys. “S.O.S.” Spike Lee John Leguizamo Adrien Brody shot in NYC it was actually a decent film.
Great film I remember watching it as a teenager. Memories 😊
I'd say Adam and John's best performances hands down.
A little mob, or rather, mob movie connection to that is "Summer of Sam" was written in part by Michael Imperioli who, of course, played Christopher Moltisanti in the Sopranos, and Spider in Goodfellas. He wrote it alongside Victor Colicchio and then of course Spike Lee added his touches to it.
It was a Spike Lee joint
Throgs Neck was one of the areas. I lived there.
Your content is off the chart. YOU BOTH ROCK . ☮ be with you .
Just two legends from the neighborhood spitting knowledge for us youngsters! I'm soaking it in. Thanks guys.
Enjoy the today's episode.
There was a movie based loosely on The Son of Sam ( Summer of Sam) back in 2000 directed by spike lee & co written by Michael Imperioli.
Starring John Leguizamo,
Adrien Brody ,Mira Sorvino ,Jennifer Esposito,Michael Rispoli &
Brian Tarantina .
Al Palagonia
Ken Garito as Brian
Bebe Neuwirth,
Mike Starr ,Anthony LaPaglia ,
Roger Guenveur Smith ,Curt Atwater
Ben Gazzara ,
Joe Lisi ,
James Reno as Crony
Arthur Nascarella &
Michael Badalucco
I met Michael Imperioli in the mid-80s when my aunt went to acting school with him. I must have been between 10 and 12 at the time. He seemed like a nice guy who wanted to bang my aunt.
I remember being 8 or 9yrs old & living in the Bay Area and just seeing on tv every channel talking about the Son of Sam, how many people he has killed, the power going out in the whole entire NYC and while the city didn’t have lights, people were looting in the streets, it looked like NYC was falling apart Those were some crazy times that i remember witnessing growing up!
Odd how one guy can cripple a huge city.
My defense would have been your honor the heat made me do it lol
Anyway my condolences to the survivors and to their families of course
Always love the stories gentlemen. I can personally relate in my own journey back to Christ to a lot of what was shared. God bless both of you! Really enjoyed this one!
Aside from the made-for-t.v. movie, there was a Spike Lee joint called “Summer of Sam” back in 1999, too. It was written by, among others, Michael “Spider Moltisanti” Imperioli, and starred John Leguizamo, Adrien Brody, Jennifer Esposito, Mira Sorvino and, “Jackie Aprile” himself, Michael Rispoli.
Great episode, thank you....I love you guys!
What I came from was from alcoholism, a party animal , as Christian I had meet people from different backgrounds and the genuine conversion is legit like you Mr. Franzese . I hope more are coming and please for both I’m asking to pray for Israel 🙏🏼may the Lord always be with both and your lovely family.
Elaphas disco in Queens!
Outstanding and authentic conversation guys. Thank you for sharing.
Fascinating to listen to this from the perspective of two guys that LIVED there! If you guys ever want to watch a movie based around Son of Sam that is really good, check out Summer of Sam from 1999.
I'm a Catholic at 56 years of age and I'm not a church fanatic, I don't go every week but I know deep down that my faith is strong and not up for question. My morals are steered by my faith and so is my compassion. Its funny but I never realised why I'd pick up a purse ( which happened on more than one occasion) and I'd get it back to its owner because I knew deep down I'd get no joy of spending someone else's money. I work outdoors and a old man/lady would come out on the step and I'd give them 10mins of my time knowing I could be the only person they would speak to on that day. Am I the prodigal son...no far from it but I'd question why I had this moral compass and it comes back to the same thing, my faith.
I think I met him as a kid in the Bronx, in Co-Op City! . . Don't forget one of the best movies ever. 'Summer of Sam' by Spike Lee!
I thought it was a great movie
Spike Lee usually does a good job on many of his movies
The dogs name wasn’t Sam, the dogs owners name was Sam. I was scared in 1977 too. The whole neighborhood was.
It was named Harvey, his owner was Sam Carr
May God bless you and Chazz and your families always 🙏 in your life journey. You both are doing God's work. 😊
Gotti refused to believe bc he knew he would be judged for what he had done and he feared what that would mean for his soul. God is real.
Hi Michael & Chazz! The both of you are a wonderful duo. I saw a Netflix documentary on Berkowitz in which the Satan cult was explored. I’m glad that he’ll remain in prison.
The satanic cult is a myth.
Thanks for watching today's episode.
Great ep Mike and Chaz per usual
Was a young kid on long island and every one was on high alert. A crazy time.
Love the show great job!
I remember hearing that at the time, when the Son of Sam killer emerged, many people, who moved to NYC from the San Francisco Bay Area, thought that the Zodiac killer went to NYC; the Zodiac killer was doing the same type of killings in the Bay Area from 1968 to 1970.
Berkowitz admitted he took heavy inspiration from Zodiac as well as other well known killers ( he was a true crime/pulp fiction novel reader since childhood)
Twinning! Great show as always
Two legends of the mafia. One in the movies and one in real life.
Talk about the biggest example of not only wasting your own talent but taking away others ability to show their talents.
When you are in jail you hit bottom, and that you either sink or reach up..alot that become reborn Christians truly knows the forgiveness, because when you get forgiven for lot of bad the more thankful and humble it can be. In jail you have the time to either sink or reach up to be saved,still have the choice. Sad when some want to stay in the dark.
Where can you see that interview with son of Sam
I heard that there may be other people involved.
I have two connections to Berkowtiz. Stacey Moskowitz graduated with my uncle and my dad was NYPD at the time. He was young cop who they had working undercover at the time. They would put male and female officers as decoys. So, you can see my interest. Thanks for the episode.
I have heard it said before that some people at their full strength will never recognize their weakness and need for Jesus, but when their weakness is exposed through sickness or circumstance, they may open up and see their need for a Savior
Never give up on staring the Good News
Great story !
You guys should review the book gypsies the hidden America it a great book about gypsy history in America
We'll keep that in mind.
Much love and respect
great video and episode watchen right now lso great tables in the back with sammy part 2 as well god bless be safe there
Enjoy watching. God bless you!
Thanks for this edifying read it was treat.💥💥💥
You're very much welcome.
Great show. GOD bless you guys. Proud you are living for GOD.
☝️😏👍 Fascinating, had my full attention the whole time.
You're his legacy.
There was a Son Of Sam movie that came out in the early 2000's called Summer Of Sam.
I did not hear about that one but I heard about SOS from the late 90s
@@frankmelotti3477 Was the one I'm thinking of from the late 90's? Was John Leguizamo in it?
Edit: I just looked it up, it was '99, so I think we may be talking about the same movie.
The money is great i hope every cent is goven back to victims and charity forhet the relogion bit
11:51 he can’t blame them he thinks they still will kill him
LOL! Who is this "they" you're speaking of? Because old Disco Dave did it all by himself as he admits in this book.
@@mannygrossmanshocking because I k ow he still fears something if not the taking too much and it’s hard to believe him he’s a liar
Ok, so now he's a liar. Then why did you believe him 100 percent when he spoke to Maury? @@JohnJames_23
Back in the late '70s the media reported that the "Son of Sam" moniker was given by DB to himself, because he was an American ex-military man, i.e., "Son of (Uncle) Sam."
God loves us, and he never forsakes us. At 23 years old I found Christ by hiding behind a church, while avoiding a speeding ticket.
Ten years later, I had an overwhelming desire to go to a service there. I accepted Christ as my savior. Three years later, God gave me my wife, and the rest is history. I like telling this story at church. It always makes people laugh. I obey the speed limit now. I love hearing you speak about stuff. God has been a father to me. I consider myself the prodigal son. 👍
its very hard for some people to turn from vengence and a way off life were theres fighting on the street and that sort of lifestyle but when u except christ and forgive when vengence is needed its the lords problem to sort out not u and when i speak of vengence sometimes its not me that would act it out its in the lords hands as u went to jail to take u of peoples back the lord did that the lord works in mysterous ways
Loved when Chazz burped in the mic at 17:09
😂
20:20 careful wat you say mike
Anyone else see Chaz turning into Christopher Walken ?
a bronx tale 😇🙂😎
From one Christian to another I know that u have changed and r the real deal. I can tell when someone is close to God.
I think the world is corrupt and wicked and the prison is away to get away from the corrupt system it’s like you going to either be dead or in jail or worst killed. When you see how the world is you will want to take your own eyes out. You need solitude so you can hear yourself. So many voices especially people you admire you hear them alive or dead. The thoughts drive you crazy.
Mikeys dad was the only one who held to his oath.
What about drugs? Either legal or illegal?
This may be an odd question but do you think Sonny had some mental issues or was he just that hardcore in the life?
At least Gotti was True to Himself , Did what he did, had No Remorse

This is what i disagree on when he said hes catholic like as a catholic makes me less of a christian we are the first christians we canonized the bible
There are cases in prison that got "jailhouse religion ". They that do this thinks it looks good on their stay.
Moses was a murderer David was an adulterer Paul the Apostle Killed Christians Peter Denied Christ! Jesus died fir the sins of the whole world! While we were all sinners Christ died for us!
I thought you had to be a Catholic to be a full on/friend of ours?
Lying to a child about serious things is wrong and if they find out about it they wont trust and the lie was just insane ecen id that was true why say that
back then it was extremely common for doctors to tell the adoptive parents to tell the kid that their parents died. The Berkowitz's were just saying what they were told to say and didn't know any better. David also suffered several head injuries so that could have had something to do with his behavior and not the devil having control of him as a kid.
He is an animal…no way is he a Christian it’s fake religion a covering…I have done lots of prison ministry…we must forgive and there is sorrow for getting caught true…the Bible calls them brute beasts animals…no fooling me or God
He shot a guy and girl on Bay 14th. near the belt pky shot the guy's eye out and killed the girl
Yep. Stacey Moscowitz and Robert Violante. I just did an over hour long walk and talk at the site with local resident John Catalano.
@@mannygrossman And you lied and spun a narrative as usual. And fluffboy Catalano, the zeppoles thief, added nothing as usual.
Tell him to ask Toto why...
It really is nothing to figure out here he said it plain as day it was demonic end of story as for the believer we know that God allows the devil to do things but this is not something we should become obsessed over or try to figure out because that's God's business after all even the devil is God's devil
Negative zero here. I AM NOT Chazz Palminteri. 😝

I live in Brooklyn I was in the heat of the murders. The worst part. I mean he killed all those people, girls mainly but there was that one 19 year old beautiful, innocent, short, smart, wonderful, loving, family girl walking home from school trying to make a life and that stinking disgusting animal raised his gun, she got so scared she put her book in front of her face and the animal shot right through the book into that poor girls' face. I seen photos of her lying there dead. I cry thinking about it she looked so sad and small laying there dead and blood all over. 19 ... 19 years old that pig animal. Let fake Jesus have him. How dare you visit that animal, get him more people to sympathize with IT. He read your book so you filmed him because hw found Christ. Made up ghost in the sky. Why didn't these animals find Christ BEFORE they slaughter, rape, mutilate, slice up women and children. I like Mike but sometimes these guys..... its disgusting.
Her name was Virginia Voskerichian and I did an hour long tribute video to her on location at her shooting scene. Slight correction... The bullet did not go thru the books, but rather grazed the corner of one.
CHAZ interviews rats now and CHAZ a joke now
Both of you are the best luv you guys ❤@lorraineamicothemakeupartist
Having faith and trust in christ has kept me focused and happy
Amen!
There was a movie ‘summer of Sam’ too with John leguizamo
Really? Tell us more, Mr. Science.
SOS buy Spike Lee
Kind of a good movie I just can't find my DVD LOL
The week he was caught was burning up hot & there was a blackout. Everyone was on the street those nights. The fear was palpable.
These 2 guys together is a great combination 👌👌🇮🇪
More of these untold stories please. Thanks

There are several movies about son of sam. one of them being "summer of sam" directed by michael imperioli which is quite good. he is probably most famous for playing christopher moltisanti in sopranos.
i really believe that David Berkowitz is truly remorseful and is a genuine born again. I've watched all his interviews and I really believe he has changed. Even murderers can changer through the power of faith.
I think so too. It's rare among serial killers but I don't think he was completely devoid of a conscience either.
The Power of God's Anointing. The Holy Spirit. It delivers a person from bad thinking. Causes true Repentance. Which is a change of thinking. Also, The Anointing or Holy Spirit runs of evolution spirits or demons. Deliverance happens.
....Faith in Jesus Christ alone.
But what has blown my mind was He Got Convicted in 7 Second Degree Murder and only received 25 to Life with The Possibility of of Parole after 25 years. He must be pretty bad still because he been there 40 Years now.
John Jr. Has said the His Dad Died by choking on His own Blood and Vomit…
It was such a scary and uncertain time in the 70’s. I feel like we’re starting to relive this in today’s times.
That was a awesome testimony. Our God is great. If Jesus can change Saul the hunter Christian killer Phrisee into Paul the Apostle whom wrote a very good portion of the new testament of the Bible. He can Change The son of Sam David Berkowitz and Michael Franzese or anyone else that seeks him. I wasn't even seeking the Lord when I was saved. I was attending a Baptism at United Penecost Church. The spirit of God fell on me like a ton of bricks. It change my life forever. There's a camp in Running springs called Camp Cedar Crest. It's a Christian camp and 90% of the men that attend look like there straight out of prison. But let me tell you. They love the Lord.
They covered the Mafia's involvement with the hunt for the Son of Sam in rhe movie Summer of Sam with John Leguizamo and Mira Sorvino..
Great show today, love watching you two!
Glad you liked it.
This episode is the foundation for the whole pod. Beautiful!
He didn't act alone
He worked in a group of satanists making snuff films …. Netflix has a documentary about it.
No he didn't. All that nonsense has been thoroughly debunked. The SOS crimes were perpetrated by David Berkowitz alone.
Every one of your episodes is so compelling and inspirational. It’s obvious you two have a wonderful relationship and your interaction makes the stories even better! Thank you!
It does sound like demonic possession.
People often have to hit rock bottom to find the courage to make the changes they need to. God saved my life (many times) and He saved my soul. I got saved after being at gunpoint and knowing this time was it. It was different and I felt the presence of death. God miraculously intervened. He is good. Love the podcasts.
.44 special??? And then doubled down with "I always remembered that"
Love these episodes fellas! Really look forward to them, keep them coming 👌💙.
(Liverpool, England)
Salvation is by God's grace alone, through FAITH ALONE in Jesus Christ everlasting bloodshed sacrifice ALONE, becoming sealed with the Holy Spirit for eternity. NOBODY has earned, deserved or maintained this FREE GIFT from God. Some may have great rewards waiting in heaven, some may enter by the skin of their teeth, but the ONLY reason God will accept you at the pearly gates is because he accepts perfection. Perfection found in himself (The Holy Spirit) which is now inside you.
I could listen these two fellas all day
Sincere question! Idk, I think that when a person ends up in prison all those distractions are gone, and in that place wheres theirs no getting out, lonely,scared and uncertain about your future and existence, it is then when you hit bottom and theirs no where to turn, and the only one that's in your corner is the Christ that you have heard about throughout your life, and ignored! It is when you come to the end of your rope,that's when you start looking up, and seeking him, the one they mocked and disrespected, or never knew, but Christ is so full of compassion, grace and mercy, that no one can pluck you out of his hand! ❤ let's not be petty or judgementally cruel, let's rejoice in the soul that was once lost ,but now found!❤❤❤😊
Something that is rare but I appreciate so much here. Both of you are comfortable with Mics. Each of you speak clearly and into the Mics. Making it easy to hear. Thank you both.
As much as i love both these people they barely have the right info harvey was the "talking dog"sam was the owener brooklyn was the last shooting 😑
While New York had Son of Sam, we had the Hillside Stranglers at the same time in L.A. Those animals killed a friend of mine, Lauren Wagner. We graduated high school that year, and they grabbed her a block away from her own house - which was two miles away from me. L.A. was gripped in fear like I'd never seen. Lauren was a friendly, popular, extremely likable girl and only seventeen.
Only true Christian’s can understand the words of a Christian🙌🏻
Just being delusional, it's okay. 😂😂😂😂
