This man is 68 years old ... he looks incredible for his age
Paul Lemieux Money. Money fixes almost everything and Michael has a ton of it
Paul Lemieux he drinks cologne...
His father is apparently 102 so good genetics ??
Fucken hell 68 !
He looks like 48.
I got to start selling gas instead of passing gas!
Just look at his dresses...Italians do it better
This guy looks like he took care of that thing for you
😂 yes!
He took care of many things, rest assured.
Lol! No doubt
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
this is an extremely powerful, intelligent, and dangerous man. i have massive amounts of respect for the way he is able to articulate his stories for hours yet still give you nearly no details.
Has to watch what he says or he will be labeled a rat or snitch. Codes to the Mafia lifestyle. Some of things he knows goes to the grave with nobody but them.
Not THAT dangerous. He is still alive!
@@kingdubbs143you know nothing about the mob
@@idontneednoritalin theres always an idiot on youtube (you in this case) who feel the need to butt in. Do yourself a favor and dont. You dont know who the hell I know. Now go back to enjoying your little yankee doodle dandy town.
Oh ok, you don't respect him as a person. For a second, I was wondering.
This guy gives the vibe everything he says is fact. He recollects memories down to the date without hesitation.
He has been like that for years on youtube. Not a faker like most.
@@eternalbeing3339 It’s because his crimes are all public information
He speaks well. Remembers well. I can see how that life would get very tedious.
@@eternalbeing3339 That is why I sub to all of his content, and give him money on patreon!
@@Skibbityboo0580 Seriously? Ew.
Whenever an Italian says “I’ll tell you quick story” be prepared to sit there fascinated, for an hour.
This is the truth.
You got a problem with my story? I didn't know you had somewhere to be, tough guy, or I would'a gave yous' the short version. Fuggetaboutit.
Averon Destinee this idiot isn’t Italian he’s American. He’s probably never set foot on Italian soil or even holds a passport like most American idiots
At the least, an hour... ...lol
I'm Italian, and this is hilarious. 👍
he looks like he is a character on the GTA loading screen
Yes😂😂
Dead asss... his name is also Michele
Definitely looks like Michael Off GTA 😂 plus he owed a car dealer
Y’all know the GTA character Michael was based off this guy right? It was the perfect story line for that fictional character.
Lazzeri Davis yea I doubt it. Then why didn’t Michael have any connections with the Mob if he was supposed to be a mob boss? The only guy he knows who’s connected seems to be Martin.
He looks super intimidating during each question as if he is expecting to be insulted. It has a "watch wtf you say to me" feel. What a presence! His look immediately softens once he is in control of the narrative.
You can even hear the interviewer mumbling and stumbling at times whereas when he's talking to the former gang members that ain't doing too well he's confident asking the questions.
Noticed the same exact body language
Same look bill gates had when they asked him about jeffery epstein and he says well that guys dead lol wtf these millionaires are the real gangsters i see
He just won the genetic lottery dude is 72, if you're handsome like that you're automatically more charismatic it's how that works
y I have watched many interviews on this channel, and this is the only one in which it feels like the guy doing the interview is not in control and a bit uncomfortable
I feel like you can hear the excitement in Marks voice throughout this interview. Every man loves a good Mob story!
68yrs old. Looks and carries himself like a 50yr old At MOSt. Well his dad is 102 and still in prison. Crazy good genes.
I think he's dad is out now.
@Blockooo i heard that his dad passed away like 2 months ago
That’s not his real dad. He said in another interview he doesn’t know who his real dad is.
@@phtorres45 he said he is his real father his mother was forced to marry the other guy because his father and her got together while his father was married to another woman
his dad passed away yesterday
The way Michael articulates himself is incredible, he seems to tell you everything, yet he tells you very little... that is a real skill!
Ynwa hopefully we beat United back to back
You need a silver tounge to bring in 5-6 million a week from under the goverments and four remaining families noses.
well, it isn't weird that he does this, I mean come on.. lol
I was actually using my firestick watching this on my tv and had to pull it up on my phone to find this comment because he didn’t say much if nothing. Just talks very well. Lol
A skill for him but folks detest that same thing about sharp, albeit he's a sociopath lol
Seeing Michael arguing with Sammy the Bull shows you the two polar opposites of that life. Sammy is aggressive, loud, easy to anger, possibly sociopathic, doesn’t care who he hurts and egotistical who plays on his reputation who says things to scare or impress. Michael is charming, charismatic yet very unassuming, incredibly intelligent and has morals who would only hurt someone if it was his last option, and it’s what he DOESNT say that impresses or scares you. Fascinating to see two guys from that world who are completely different. Michael’s a fascinating man. Kinda guy it would be a pleasure to have a drink with. Great content.
Sammy’s a street guy, gangster. Michael was studying to be a doctor before joining the mob.
They're both sociopathic, definitely interesting stuff though
With 19 hits under his belt (that we know of), I'd say Sammy the Bull's sociopathy is pretty much a certainty.
@@final_animal How is Michael sociopathic?
@@fuferitoalso a snitch coward
One of the most charismatic people I’ve ever seen!
Dude is smart only tells you what everyone already knows and talks freely about dead people or people who have already been locked up or taken plea agreements. Seems like he is telling you a lot but to this day he still knows exactly what and what not to say.
Hell yeah, I noticed that too!!
@--
most definitely not a word about what is not already none... or whos not 6ft deep already
Is his nickname " Faffy"?
But why talk at all?
Exactly. They got these interviews down to a science.
He acts real chill and cool but there's a energy that say "dont screw with me.. or you a dead man" old school gangsters are way more scarier then street thugs.
The only thing scary here is that you don’t know the difference between “than” & “then”
Set Off 😂
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman Because the calm man is your best friend. The volatile man is your known enemy. The street life is pure evil. Evil always turns on you.
I’m more scared of low life thugs because they will attack for no reason. If you’re robbing or messing with people, this guy would be scary (unless you know you didn’t rob or mess with anyone he knows)
X People who have nothing to lose, don’t value life.
Just the way he sits and looks at the camera tells you how legendary this man is
He needs a movie!!! He's so honest!! Of all the movies I've watched I believe this man's story would top them all!
I think they are working on one.
Tia Power Im convinced we truly live the end times, and that is not much till we will hear about the sunday decret! As the Catolic church, ran the inquisition in the midle eve, so it will be în these last times, with al who will want to live only to a 100 % "stays writen", especilay the true sabat (4th comandmnt in the ten laws, Exodus 20:8)! I recomand you get a book caled The great controversy by Ellen White! It depicts the war betwen good and evil from Lucifers fall, till the very end, and in the last 100 pages youl find everything about the sunday decret, what we live, whats to come, pure undiluted truth, with amazing insights! Is a must read for everyone who is intrested that we live the end times, and how everything, is playing out! May God help us be sheeps and not goats in that day! God bless you and youre loved ones!
It's all thoroughly documented . His father Sonny as well.
Well, I do think he has a lot to tell
De Niro would not need a double
Why are people so surprised about how he knows exactly what to say? You don’t get where he was without that skill.
some of the minds today are too distracted or underdeveloped to understand something like that and that’s no hate against them , that’s reality
I believe 90% of the people wondering are from the states and since it's possible to be successful if you only shake your butt Cardi B Style.. Of course they're surprised there's someone intelligent
People are stupid. Not all, the majority.
I believe people are drawn in by his charisma. But they just can’t quite articulate what it is about him. So they just assume it’s his confidence and that he’s so well spoken.
He's also answered many of these questions ad nausum for years.
Half the time the interviewer sounds like he's thinking, "How can I ask this without getting killed"?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Right on ! 🤣
Lol
That might make sense if Mike weren't now a born again Christian and motivational speaker who left the mob decades ago.
@@igotnukes6011 I think you’ll find that Christians and ex-mob members have probably committed murder. So it kind of still makes sense.
Of all the Michael Franzese interviews I feel like this one was the best. SWU tends to bring the most captivating interviews
I’ve seen this man in many docs and every single story is the exact same word for word
This guys eye contact is legendary.
I was thinking the same thing XD
@Spexii111 the study I found says direct eye contact on average during conversation is maintained for 3.3 seconds. This guy has multiple stretches in this interview that last over 30 seconds only interrupted by blinks.
His eye contact is better than lawyers in lawyer advertisements
He is definitely not autistic.
Is he looking at the camera?
I’ve heard Michael in a number of interviews and they’re all fascinating because he speaks freely and eloquently but if you listen carefully he tells you absolutely nothing. I guess that’s why he’s still alive having left ‘the life’. A very very clever man.
As he said during this interview, when he left he didn’t intend on “hurting anyone.” I think he is honest enough to tell the story while being careful to not be specific enough to cause problems.
In that life, you learn more what NOT to say than what TO say.
Exactly!! He never incriminates himself be it with the mob or law enforcement, never speaks ill of anyone, tremendous poise this man carries.
👏👏 exactly
They all do that I’ve noticed. Rich people generally They like to tiptoe around the real deal. Ask any rich person how they made their money and you’ll always get the most half assed answer ever or they’ll try to evade the question they all have that in common. They make it seem like they have so much to say but you can tell they don’t wanna spill the bean and are holding back and start using so many filler pauses and try to small talk or deviate out of it because the truth isn’t always pretty.
I was transfixed listening and watching him. He’s very gifted in telling you the story of everything without telling you everything. You have to be intelligent to outlive 98% of that generation and the only survivor out of 6 that joined the family that night.
Thanks for these amazing stories.

Thank you Michael for an insight into your world. What I truly appreciate is the fact that you walked away, without taking anyone down, and left it behind.
Your honor and love for your father is a beautiful thing.
Stay blessed.
I can't believe you got an interview with this guy. He's a G.
Mrs. Foley one would say an original gangster
@@lordstatic361 yea really.
Yup - tremendous score. These mafia ones are particularly well done!! Props @Soft White Underbelly.
Money talks folks! Like the rest of human kind, he's chasing the bag! 💲💸💵💰
Exactly. This is in sane that he got him to share his story. Totally agree.
This guy has a wedding ring on, doesnt curse once, and says the Mayor that was trying to throw him in jail for 200 years was a decent mayor. Thats class.
You don’t need to curse when you’ve killed
and hes probably the most evil person on this series
@@MrJypsyeYou have no idea who has killed or for what reasons.
@@mmaybee2353 imagine justifying mob murders
the fact he called Giuliani a decent mayor makes me think he's a piece of shit
Didnt rat, didn't get whacked! ... Michael is one of the greatest story tellers and mob men we have the privilege of listening to. An absolute legend.

His life story should be made into a movie.
There is one in the making I think
Harold DeJesus shoulda made it with the legends. The Irishman was the last good mob movie
@@lexthesavior u dont think theyre gonna make more
Yeah, especially the part he doesn't tell you about where cooperated with the government, snitched, put people in jail and was in federal witness protection. His own father wanted him dead and he bought his way out.
@@lexthesavior fuck no, those dudes are too old wayyyyy too old it was a bad move casting pacino as a young man
The power of a custom suit and shirt. Sitting up straight. Speaking softly, confidently, engagingly. A man's man. He understood his situation. A classic interview.
I was curious if somebody would pick up on that :) He does have a really nice fitting & looking suit!
You can’t be in that position with an off the rack suit 😜
Definitely not a cheap outfit. Definitely suited.
Presidential material. Let's see Xi, Un, Erdegoan, Baghdadi or Putin try and fuck with President Franzese.
@Mihai Dumitrescu And Good shoes.
He's a prime example of the truth of the words "To live outside the law, you must be honest.."- Bob Dylan
You seriously interview the most amazing folk from all walks off life.

The fact that Mark got an interview him this man is very impressive.
By the sounds of it this guys speaks all over that place these days, so its not like he's got an exclusive with a secret dude.
Buzzfeed is impressive to you then
he's on literally anyones podcast... i bet even you could book him 😂
He’s making tons of money , living off his stories of his crimes, and criminal life, no glamour or glory, just a pathetic criminal
@@lifeislivinginpeace447 shush Pastor, you jealous 😆
Never have a found an almost 70 year old man so attractive 😖 his confidence, the eye contact, the swag. My mans a true OG
Italians
@@MarCoReacts they age better than other white men
If you met him in prison he would be a top and you would experience being a bottom. 🤗
Agreed. He’s very handsome to be that age! 😍😍😍
Right? He's sexy af
I got to meet this fella at my church. Our pastor at the time was Italian and loved the Mod life style and somehow got Michael to come to our church and speak. I remember meeting him as a young teen and will never forget that moment. After hearing his story I got to shack his hand and set down and talk to him o e on one and as I looked into his eyes, all I can think about is how much this guy has been through. Amazing moment in my life. Thank you Michael!
This is the best interview I have ever seen, and I've probably watched 2000 SWU's. Thanks Mark
This guy didn’t swear one time. I find that interesting.
That is called class my dear
People say we use cuss words because we don't know the right words. Essentially saying smart people don't need to cuss. I think this guy is smarter then he seems. And he seems pretty smart.. smarter then me for sure
Because he is a professional the mob is different than any other gang they have standards and rule and abide by them
A born again Christian might have something to do with it?
Because he's a man of respect.... and they are the ones to be TRULY scared of
A lot of people mention his macho aura, his looks, or how he speaks. But my god, the amount of power it had to take to leave that life and start new the way he did is insane. So motivational.
He was smart, wise and didn't let greed take over and now he's living life!
Start a new life, what are you talking about? You don't think he stashed away millions of dollars that he stole? How is this motivational? The made stole, killed and cheated his way to success. It is quite scary how you people are romanticizing mobsters this way.
And even now he keeps making money off of his horrible actions in the past, and what? You think he became a better person? It is obvious that he is set for life, he does not need that life anymore.
@@TheTwitchybird I feel like that's just about as assumptive as you can get. He's honest about his actions and he's honest about the fact that he's had a hard time not going back. If you can show me substantial evidence that he's still a bad person, I'll agree. But as far as I can tell, he made changes to his life for the better. Especially in a position that's terrifying to leave. The choices he made weren't easy. So I have a hard time thinking he did it knowing that he wasn't leaving that life behind.
@@RoughEndDrag Of course he is being honest about his actions, they're public knowledge. You haven't noticed how he's extremely dodgy in every single interview kind of thing that he does when it comes to things that aren't public knowledge? Why wouldn't he be honest about things he's served time for? lol.
He's not a 'bad' person now simply because he doesn't need to be. He has everything he wants and needs now so why would he go back to living that life now that he's out?
@@TheTwitchybird he didn't need to be a better person either. Look at everyone else who stayed in the field. Either way, virtually no one is supporting his crime. I'm certainly not supporting his past. I'm supporting the idea of growth and change. As I said, if he hasn't changed, if he's still participating in crime, if he's still an enemy to society: I agree with you.
Probably the most compelling of your interviews.
What a great storyteller.
What a great conversationalist.
He seems so comfortable.
What a top level con artist.
Thank you for your genuine interview. The best thing I heard was that your Dad was 102. 4 years past, much respect. Depth in commitment. 💪🏻✅

He’s super polite but his vibe screams “don’t even think of messing with me”
He wasn't looking for war. He's a businessman. Just don't fuck with his money.
@@The_Gallowglass He might be more of a businessman and he might not have killed as many as others in the mob have, but he's still a mobster regardless. He's done some work in the time he was there.
The interviewer has never sounded more nervous in any of his other videos lol.
I noticed this also.
Exactly....he should be scared. This is not a street gangster. This is a high IQ level guy that outsmarted the federal government and the smartest gangsta of that time.
Yes! I thought the same thing!
Lmfao
@@kilombo6702 nah fam Al Capone is the smartest gangsta of all time
It’s the fact Michael can talk for hours about the Mob, still be interesting and throw some sprinkles out there to make you curious, but not say a word about past stuff. Very creative talking walking a thin thin line and never crosses it. This interview he gave up a couple additional pieces I haven’t heard before, congrats to a good interviewer

This was one of the first videos I watched on this channel 2 years ago and I still love it. I come back periodically and watch it again.
Me too.
He has some intense look. Never breaks eye contact. Intimidating yet very hospitable.
Last person you'd ever wanna get in a staring contest with
He just stupid...
His kind of calmness only comes with experience that you really want no part of.
He’s seen shit, a little eye contact doesn’t faze him after seeing what he’s seen.
@@mikekell920 i saw better eye contact from that meth addict diamond
He confirms everything we thought without saying anything. Powerful and intelligent. And doesn’t look a day over 50.
he looks like 40 something. i have seen people in their 20s and 30s looking older and less intelligent. not to say they are dumb but Michael is intelligent enough to know what he did working for the Mob was wrong. look up mafia states of america
Wow. This is Dope. One of the best ones yet. He's so poised & well spoken. Great story!
His calm confidence says it all. He didn’t curse once, raise his voice, tell everybody business, or tell too much of his own business but he did it without talking in circles which is rare! He gives that old school gentleman vibe but you can tell he certainly ain’t the one to play with.
Check out Mr. Slick in his interview with Sammy The Bull. Not so much there.
@@johnnymeyer4253 You have such low self esteem and I think a jealousy issue too. Pathetic

I seen the cable Documentary already. His story is interesting thoo...The fact that he's still alive and well is Remarkable; a literal miracle 🤯...
Nope, I'm changing it right now.

Deep respect for people who realise what they have been doing and turn to the light. Sometimes the best good people are the ones who was in it and experienced the bad while being intelligent enough to see what they were doing was wrong

THAT WAS JUST EXCELLENT.
Great interview 👍
Well done to the interviewer and to his guest.
This channel is my Netflix 🙂
Yes !!!
Mine too
Cara Lula, Its 100000% better than netflix!! ;)
Lameee
Right!!! I work doing online chats and I constantly have this playing while Im working.
He moves and makes gestures when he talks but sometimes he just stops, pauzes and sits so perfectly still.. Each time he sits so perfectly still I think my pc freezes. lol
Lil Overdose lol
He's a fuckin Killa.
That's how they move.
Exactly...like a cat watching prey.
He thinks about his responses
I thought the exact same thing lmfao looked like the video paused
I know this life is filled with bad things but this guy is one of the coolest men I have ever listened to.

Michael is articulate handsome guy with a great gift of telling his life’s story. Glad he is still around to tell his tale. To pull back the curtain of that kind of lifestyle is riveting. Thank you Mr. F
He has the permanent “ wtf did you say” eyebrows lol
🤣
He really does though 😳😆
More like, you better be careful what you say next, then the interviewer starts to stutter or give the pregnant pause!
This guy's expressions has many different Latin characters 🤣😂😭
Hahahaha those are good eyebrows to have..!😁
Yea, he looks and carries himself like he's much younger
Michael Hardee buddy meant to reply 😂
I was a prison guard with the Columbo guys including Persico. They were respected by all staff and inmates.
Simply Fascinating !!! Stories like this will fade someday… what a gem to have this one documented
HIs father just recently passed at 103 years old. My condolences to you and your family.
That's one old man lmfao
R.i.p
Wow that's an incredibly long time to live!
Mark Kellerman why you have to be so rude????? I don’t know anything about his dad , who he was but we should not saying anything like that!! He is aged man, you should take back what you said, man!!
Mark Kellerman the man like you stupid as fuk, even his son can flick his fingers and you disappear from this world!! Don’t talk so tough, this habit doesn’t suit you!!
I'm blown away by his intelligence and thoughtfulness. I have no doubt that this man is a powerful friend and a dangerous foe. Reading about his turn to Christianity and subsequent ministry is fascinating.
Why do you think a god let the holocaust happen?
@@johnnymeyer4253 God is always teaching the Israelites more lessons mate, best to watch and learn than to get involved bahahaha
@@highclasswhitetrash9027 Uh, that makes very little sense. Plus, which "god" are you talking about? Humans have created so many over the years -- there certainly isn't just one!
@@johnnymeyer4253makes little sense? Lad, the God of the Israelite, their entire origin story is one of hardship and oppression. You brought it up lol.
@Jack Hartunian I promise you I do not care.
I've heard about this guy before he did the interview but damn, he has the looks, the intellect, the charisma..whew
Damn can we have a part two? This guy is a true mastermind
He saying a lot and saying nothing all at the same time. Impressive.
Edit* You all are taking this comment way too seriously. Smh
Whats. Your point?
@@trippin7577 I believe the point was made.
he reminded me of trump
@@elhale8774 I don't see it. But ok.
How is he saying nothing at all? Seems like you’re trying to seem profound.
He looks like he's about to go see a "guy" about a "thing".
Crunchy Frankie , was he shaking ??
😂😂😂
LOL!
Great comment....
😂
This man has some serious charisma. He has that thing.
This guy is a regular customer at my old work. My impression of him was that he was a super cool friendly guy. I had no idea about his history until a coworker told me he saw something on tv.
This guy is such a smooth talker. He can dominate a room even without the power he had. Love it.
dewbwah Oh, please. Dominates. LMFAO. People listening intently because they're hearing stories about a lifestyle they'd otherwise never hear about isn't exactly dominating a room.
Timbales1979 naw it's true! He has a natural charisma and charm that has probably been a wonderful asset for him.
Rebekah Bart Fuck outta here. You probably think the Boston bomber is hot.
Right..he’s careful. He gave soooo much by way of storytelling, but left you with no real information. But you don’t know that you really didn’t get anything from this guy until muuuch later lol
In 1986, Fortune Magazine ranked Franzese as #18 on its list of the 50 Most Wealthy and Powerful Mob Bosses." Today, he is the only man from that list who is not currently in jail or deceased!
He lost his $240mil fortune when he went to jail.
@@howardmckenna As of 2022, Franzese's net worth is approximately $1 million, making him the 16th richest criminal on the list. Yeah, he lost the bulk of it but a million bucks is still a decent number to invest.
This guy is almost 70 here and his father lived to 103 after doing 60 years in prison for bank robbery. At the time of his release on June 23, 2017, at the age of 100, he was the oldest federal inmate in the United States and the only centenarian in federal custody. He died in a New York City hospital on February 24, 2020, at the age of 103.
70?? Dude looks like 50 max. Thats crazy
@@Kingofsweaters let's say 60. I know a few guys who've turned 50 this year and are in better shape than athletic men in their 20s.
Alas, Francese obviously takes a lot of care of himself

Wow nice to see Mr Franzese on here! I've only seen Mark interview regular everyday folks so this was interesting to see a guy who is basically a celebrity interviewed
He's a very smooth, likable, interesting yet dangerous man. It's like watching a talking cobra.
A cobra is not likeable
@@AC-130.... I used to visit one at a Reptile Store near me. It was a beautiful albino monocle cobra. Being in Florida, you can buy anything here.
@@AC-130.... a talking cobra is
Excellent analogy 👏
I call these Ewoks. Cuddly, approachable, easy on the eyes, but cross them and you got logs now swinging down crushing your face lmao
His Dad really lived to 100 and got out, wow
Almost 5 million people in the SWU family!! Congratulations on such an amazing Chanel
Very impressive ep & best channel on YT hands down.
This man is a master of self preservation above all else. He can switch from a show of strength to humility without hesitation.
Absolutely! He has presence without all the flashiness. I bet in his worst days, he was the calm before the storm.
No he is saved. I heard his testimony at Liberty U. He has a solid prison ministry. He was trying to live solid, got parole violated by Feds just as the big Colombo Family war was starting so he is kept from it. THEN another mobster Henry Hill run's into him in prison, Henry talks, so to protect mike he is put in hole. Third event he is depressed, a Christian Corrections officer checks on him,. Mike chases him away, within 2 min, that CO drops a NKJ Bible through the door slot. Bing Bang Boom. His wife is a Born Again woman, her entire family is. He is by his own admission blessed beyond anything he could ever imagine. He has a rare opportunity among former Fed Inmates, he can witness in Federal Prisons. To Organized Inmates. I know folks in the sewer of New York and on L.I. word on street is Mike is legit Man of God. So both the good guys and verry bad guys both say his conversion is legit. And he despite nut job Sammy says he never ratted, put nobody away. As a Christian and it is resurrection day tomorrow, I ask you, do you know Jesus? Being as BOTH the bible and grounded history indicate we are living it the end of days.
@Armando Tarziu How many times can you copy/paste these comments that make you sound insane?
Yes, it's impressive. As Michael said, life is a negotiation. Learn how to assess situations and negotiate well, and you will do well in life.
That ceremony/ ritual they do is satanic. I’m glad he converted to Christianity. He is a very clever guy, i am glad he saw how smart it was to stop the life he was living. I wonder where the souls of his fellow mafia at the ceremony are now. ✝️
When Michael Franzese was born, the doctor looked up and said: "congratulations, it's a man".
Love this
lol
nonsense
Made me chuckle :)
The Man...😍😎😘
This by far has been the best story and the most interesting
I could listen to this guy talk forever. What a cool dude.
PSA. This channel is highly addictive. As a matter of fact it’s completely mesmerizing. I can’t get enough love it !!!!
This channel really makes you look at the world with a much broader perspective. It’s so amazingly enlightening it almost brings me to tears. We all know the kind of stuff on this channel is all real but seeing it for my own eyes is just so intriguing.
Mate I'm hooked aswell
Omg same!!
He should put out an audio only podcast version of these.
2hrs ago, I'm screwed
I've never heard Mark stutter so much asking questions.
Lmfao that eye contact got him shook
😂
yeah probably a bit different than interviewing Appalachian folk
Check him out interviewing the Mafia hitman, he also stutters during that interview, and for good reason
He’s like ozzy tbh
Fascinating. Thanks for doing this. What a world we live in.
I could listen to this guy all day. Very charismatic and Intelligent!
He came to my church once as a guest speaker, he’s a really humble guy
What crime family church are you apart of?
So he gave his life to God?
What did he talk about at a church?
@@mr.sevilla3723 hahahaha!!!
i didn't see an ounce of humble
Did he say his father got out of prison at 100yrs old? 😳
He looks like he smells good and mind blowing he is almost 70yrs old!
His own son, not Michael here but Sonny Jr. wore a wire and turned on his dad and sent him back to prison when he was in his 90's im pretty sure. So there was no love lost between Mike and his brother Sonny for many years but i think they reconnected after the dad died not too long ago.
We Italians got good genes lol but yeah that’s crazy fr
John "Sonny" Franzese is not his biological father... but he raised him as his own since birth...Michael didnt find out till he was an adult.
@@AnishinaabeWaterProtector yeah...he looks NOTHING like him... I mean compared to Jr... (son who ratted him out) who is a spitting image of Sonny... and the daughter looks like him too. Michael even said in a recent interview that his real father died some time back. Just my opinion ...I kno it sucks when u find out your family lineage isnt what u were told ... happened to me...although probably way worse in that life where ur lineage stands for something.
He looks like he knows how to treat a lady. Like he’s good with the kisses down under
This interview and your recent one with Johnny (Ex-Gang Member) are my favourite. ♥️ Thank you, Mark!
This man reminds me so much of my father in law (may he rest in peace). His demeanor was also soft yet strong. Never said more than what needed to be told. He was involved when he was young, until he got married and had kids. I knew never to ask much, so I didn’t, but I was also fascinated by his previous life. Anytime we went down to Peterstown (nj), we would meet and spend time with any number of old school guys. I didn’t grow up like that by any means so I was never not curious.
This station is kick ass. Probably the best on TH-cam.
Yes!!!!
I'd have to agree. This is becoming one of my all-time favorite channels.
I need this shit bad tbh
His dad still alive aged 102, thats incredible.
xUzi786
Thought Michael said 103
He died this past week
@@MarcJones2742 Yh I just found out, still incredible that he reached age 103. He outlived my grandma by 20 years, she passed away on Dec 15, 2019 aged 83.
That’s some good ass genes
So fascinating, could listen to Michael talk all day.
I've been surveilled and it's annoying after awhile. This guy's honesty is refreshing, he doesn't portray the life as something other than it is.
I’m sure you have 😂
@@tylerjudd1574 I couldn't care less if you believe me or not!
🤡🤡🤡🤡
If that's what you need to tell yourself
What were you being watched for if you don’t mind me asking?
This man speaks with such pride and calmness, yet you can hear he’s a very dangerous person at the same time
Not anymore but til the mid 90s yes
@@thedonofthsht76-58 I still wouldn't chance pissing him off lol

@@DarlingNikki2 absolutely not lmao

This man sits Incredibly still.
literally unshakable
Always in control....

Your enemy sees you shaking, they don't stand down. They attack. Never give your enemy an ammo.
He's got that mob mentality instilled for sure.
