Dude, that was my immediate thought. Every single God damn guest he has on he always makes a comment: "Ahhh, yeah, I can totally relate to that". Whatever, Vlad. LOL!
Vlad for the 1,000,000th time we don't care about what you have to say. Quit trying to relate with your own experiences just ask questions and shut up!
This is also one of the mob down falls. Michael F. Was making them so much money but they always was grilling him and never trusted him. Sammy was making gotti all that money and being one of the main reasons the Gambino family was good but gotti still was caught on tape talking bad about him even sounding like he wanted to kill Sammy
I'd like these more if he just stepped back. I'm here for Michael...not him. I'm new to this channel and if Vlad worked more on his interviewing skills, then I'd care more about his opinion. He just landed a really good interview, but his input is just too much at times in these interviews.
True... but are you trying to say there's NEVER been someone in your clique, or around you, that's never tried to undermine you? Steal your shine ? It's happened to me... nothing big. Unsuccessfully... but there's always a snake in the midst. Vlad's just stating facts.

The sentencing judge, John F. Keenan, nonetheless praised Persico's performance as his own lawyer in the Commission Trial and said, "Mr. Persico, you're a tragedy. You are one of the most intelligent people I have ever seen in my life."
I remember writing a paper for a class that I took at school that organized crime was just an alternate form of government. What Mike Franzese says here just supports that. There are so many similarities between organized crime, the government, and business!
Carlo Gambino choose Paul Castellano because Paul was doing the same business techniques as Carlo did and was good at it. Gotti killed Castellano because John didn’t want to get killed over his involvement in dealing drugs.
Coupled with the fact Paul was greedy, cheating on his wife, doing business with other families n etc paul was grandfathered in . In a family notorious for killing its boss. How did Carlo not foresee this with all his wisdom.
@@PURERIDDIM they tried to whack him . That’s how Frankie deccico got killed. They actually meant to whack Gotti. But then Gotti had a love hate frenemy relationship with Chin Gigante .
I live by the credo "The toes you step on today could belong to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow." And : The best way to judge a man is by the way he treats the people he doesn't need.
Michael is right about churches, at least the handful I have been a member of during my lifetime. People sometimes use their Christianity like a gun against other Christians in their own church. I’ve had to leave churches myself over ridiculous things involving church finances when I was Finance Chairmen (I’ll never do that again) and one over my divorce of my first wife.
Agree; he looks sensational for a 70 years old man. My old man is 63 and looks very raggedy compared to this guy. I guess I'll hit the gym and eat more veggies then LOL
Carmine Persico jr decided to defend himself in his final trial...when the judge was sentencing him, he said to Persico that he was one of the most intelligent people he has ever seen and how he has wasted his life choosing the path he did.
I’ve was a pastor for years with several ministries under my care. It only took one small group of back biters to circulate lies and criticisms to bring it all down. It came down to one man who wanted a position on the board and I was warned by the pastor who went before me not to give it to him. He volunteered a lot, showed support but it was always with strings attached. When it all went bad me and my family were almost totally abandoned by people I served for years. The stress was insane. I went to a few pastors conferences to find that this story plays out regularly in churches.
It happens in every hierarchical organisation. I was involved in a political party and everyone, including me, were always scheming against our opponents and trying to keep allies on side etc.
Please continue being a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth and giving it your best. It sounds like you have a lot to offer. I have had similar experiences. "The meaning of life on its deepest level is the service of God. This is a task that carries over into any new situation." Gilkey. So please keep serving God.
Facts.. most of the people I used to call “friends” were people was we’re low key competing with me and once I “fell off” they kicked me while I was down and I never heard from them again lol. Took them like ten years to finally start doing better than me. It’s sad man I have these friends Jobs,money, places to sleep for months at a time, food, weed. When I needed something all I got was excuses and people kicking me while I’m down. I learned a life lesson though and I’m never helping another person again unless they’re my mom or dad. Even my own brother didn’t lift a finger to help me while I was struggling bad! It’s like he was happy to see me down. My mom told me he’s been jealous of me my whole life so I guess he’s happy to see me down lol. The thing is I’m not staying down forever so when I’m back up again, I’m going to make him extremely jealous. I’ll make sure to throw everything in his face too.
A real friend / family member is someone who is genuinely happy for your success. There is a lot of jealousy, resentment in a lot of people. When I deal with people like that, I try to minimize my involvement with them and ignore them as much as possible. If they try to screw with me at the office, if they make a mistake, I will take them down. If I have people like that in my personal life, if I can, I will eliminate them completely or as much as possible. I tell young people do not expect other people to be happy with your success. If possible, if you achieve something, keep it to yourself. As for your statement, "...I’m never helping another person again unless they’re my mom or dad," I would not follow that path. Jesus of Nazareth said, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." We are also commanded in Scripture, to, "Love your neighbor." Billy Graham said, "The greatest Christian grace is love. Not that sentimental feeling often called love today, but that deep regard for the welfare of others which will prompt us to help them when they need help." In Luke 6:27 “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." You can get a tremendous amount of personal satisfaction and a feeling of achievement by having a positive impact in someone else's life. There is a good book that may be of assistance to you, "Looking out for Number One" by Robert J Ringer. You can get the book on Amazon cheaply. I hope you do get back up again. I believe productive behavior is the key - work, studying, a good exercise program, enjoying yourself with a good television show, etc., and avoiding self-destructive behavior like substance abuse, wasteful spending habits, consumer over consumption or being jealous of other people like your brother. I would really recommend you read a chapter a day from the Bible, specifically the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John + the book of the Acts of the Apostles. I would urge you to consider the Christian faith. (Please note I have been royally screwed by some of my fellow Christians. Again, you have to be very careful as Michael Franzese says above.) Good luck and please do get back up!
Michael is probably the best person I have ever seen interviewed. Smart, Articulate, gets his massage across without beating around the bush. This is one classy dude, I would have loved to work under him in another line of work... Outstanding individual..
@@DestroJJ You miss my point, classy meaning he shows the interviewer respect, doesn't belittle him for his lack of knowledge..being a killer is something else. Looks like a guy who keeps his word and not a backstabber like most people...show respect you earn respect.
@@damnbadger8242 Never met him. Being a Viet Vet 1964-67 I met a lot of characters, good judge of someone.... My posts are my opinions, yours are yours...never judge someone you don't know Sir...
The storm eventually calmed, but the Genovese Family wasn’t happy with the Castellano hit initially. They were pissed that the murder of a boss wasn’t approved by The Commission. They tried to take out Gotti and ended up killing his friend on a hit that was meant for Gotti.
StuUngar The Lucchesses's also sanctioned the hit. In addition to Gotti breaking the rules, it had to do with the fact that the Genovese and Lucchesses's had joint business ventures with Castellano. They lost millions when he was killed.
Hal Jordan Tony Ducks cosigned and Casso got the contract. But you're right. The Genovese's are usually ten steps ahead and always scheming. That's why you have these "proxy" wars going on North of the border so the New York families can have a big piece of the Golden Horseshoe in Canada.
After watching tons of interviews of him, and his podcast, I think I figured him out: he most likely committed murders early on, but never had to later after he got his gasoline tax racket going. That's what the grunts were for.
I think the concept of goodwill is very important in life. You try to empathize with others, help if you can, stay out of their way. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you or get too close to you. Dealing with people is a fine line to walk. Know when to keep your mouth shut, keep your opinions and emotions close to the vest. I think the most underrated thing about the movie Goodfellas was that in Ray Liottas narration of Henry Hill, the movie showed how Henry always thought on his feet, he was disciplined in what he said and did especially around Jimmy, Tommy, and Paulie.. Henry was the quietest of the group, he played the background, he was always observing everything going on around him.. The guys who were less aware, not as disciplined in their words or actions were all killed and they never saw it coming, none of them. They underestimated the danger they were in, I don’t think Henry ever did
100% Correct. This happens all the time in any company meeting. I saw this for 30 years with cut throat people In business. There is always somebody desiring to see you drop dead in front of them.
If only Sammy had the guts of Gotti he would've been a remarkable boss of the Gambino family. Ruthless, intelligent, dosen't make noise, tough, astute businessman etc. Kinda like Vinny Gigante but less of the crazy act.
Lee Forman I Agree He’s A Rat But He Was Basically Was The Boss By Being The Underboss So It Wouldn’t Have Changed Shit He Knew Exactly What Gotti Knew 🤷🏻♂️
I can't believe dudes seriously still defend this stupid code of silence bullshit. Sammy did all of Gotti's dirty work and Gotti would've rolled on Sammy just as fast if given the chance to save his own skin. Gotti wouldn't have done a life bid for anyone. Fuck Gotti. Dude was an idiot who destroyed the mafia thanks to his desire to act like a movie star and flaunt his shit all over and let everyone know what he was doing. The guy had zero common sense or self awareness.
Sammy stayed locked up with gotti foe 11 months. Once he saw how gotti was giving him up he snitched. Can't blame him. A lot of the mob knew this that's why he was able to live openly. He had known business's in Arizona and always in NYC. That's how he caught that drug case
What's sad is these guys have a lot of instinct for business and it takes more Savvy to run an illegal business then a legal business.. but one of my college professors once said and it stuck with me for life "once you sell your soul you can never buy it back"
To his points toward the end, whenever someone tells me that they accepted a management position, for example, the first thing I tell them is to understand that sooner or later, one of their employees is going to test them/challenge their authority. It's not a maybe, it's a definitely, and when it happens, you DO have to handle it. And yes, I"m speaking from personal experience on all of this.
You cannot trust anybody in work or business as a teenager I was fired for letting a childhood friend know that I did the company wrong the dude cut my throat for him to look good.
Castellano should have never been boss. Carlo Gambino named him boss on his death bed only because he married his niece. None of the captains would have voted for him
I can't remember the book, but it was about the agents that put the mic in Castellano's lamp. Anyway. And I'm paraphrasing, but the book pretty much said the same thing and referenced the grumbling on the street about Paul's greed, and that he was a recluse, and Tommy was pretty unpopular as well. But he controlled most of the businesses and took in something like 25% to 50% of their revenue. He could shut down that city if he wanted too. Even if Gotti didn't kill him, he was done anyway. The FBI had loads of tape on him from that lamp.
I am about 50 years old. I grew up In Philadelphia and South Jersey. Gotti was well known and looked up to when I was young. He looked awesome and there were many Gambino people in our neighborhoods. In my opinion, RICO Laws made American suburbs more unsafe. The Mafia is a necessary Evil. The Police are constrained by the US Constitution. The Mafia will keep the neighborhood safe just by their presence. Fear is a powerful motivator.
Vinny cried when Paul died, all the way down his chinny chin chin. Also, these guys are only good business men when they have a gun threatening their partners.
I feel the same way too. Even if someone wanna call me whatever name in the book..... I wasn't made for the street life lol. I cant put a $$$ figure on how much it'd make it worthwhile to live in a constant state of paranoia either from being arrested or being put in the grave.

Sammy stayed locked up with gotti foe 11 months. Once he saw how gotti was giving him up he snitched. Can't blame him. A lot of the mob knew this that's why he was able to live openly. He had known business's in Arizona and always in NYC. That's how he caught that drug case
I would love ro here one of his seminar
Ty for always being honest Michael.
Vlad comparing Vlad TV to La Cosa Nostra is the literally the biggest reach I have ever heard in my entire life!
😂😂
What's sad is these guys have a lot of instinct for business and it takes more Savvy to run an illegal business then a legal business.. but one of my college professors once said and it stuck with me for life "once you sell your soul you can never buy it back"
To his points toward the end, whenever someone tells me that they accepted a management position, for example, the first thing I tell them is to understand that sooner or later, one of their employees is going to test them/challenge their authority. It's not a maybe, it's a definitely, and when it happens, you DO have to handle it. And yes, I"m speaking from personal experience on all of this.
You cannot trust anybody in work or business as a teenager I was fired for letting a childhood friend know that I did the company wrong the dude cut my throat for him to look good.
You can see the fear in his eyes at 5:22 when he talks about Gotti
Damn I can see the chills going down his spine
B2NFIM you a fool
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
FooledbyRandomness
The Video is only 5:21. ??
Yeah..I've had peeps F me over hugely
In my life..CAN YOU BELIEVE IT 😮
Great stuff
Michael is a very sharp guy. Articulate and intelligent.
Anyone got one of his books any recommands or not good?
Why the hell they left a drum on the background? 🤔
I was right there when Gotti killed Paul I was actually eating steak at the restaurant T.K.Kirkland
Bull shit because I was one of the real door men that day and I didn’t see him.
Ok boomer
@@Pesticide7G he was actually in the steak house eye saw Gotti with my own 2 eyes
@@lowdown4444 T.K. Kirkland is the owner of Sparks Steak House
I was there also i seen you but u misspelled your last name you put a K instead of a J big dogg
This guy has a great story to tell
@2:30 That’s not only the nature of that life but life in general.
The way he talks is so eloquent
The Chin was crying about it he litteraly ordered a hit but it missed. he's the main person in that life you don't wanna offend
Its crazy how we can hear story’s from ex mobsters on the internet
As annoy as vlad is he really does produce good content. Fucken Christmas got me in a good mood
The direction Vlad has been going as of late with these Mob interviews got me thinking a Sammy "The Bull" interview is inevitable
predicted correctly 👏🏾
Castellano should have never been boss. Carlo Gambino named him boss on his death bed only because he married his niece. None of the captains would have voted for him
I can't remember the book, but it was about the agents that put the mic in Castellano's lamp. Anyway. And I'm paraphrasing, but the book pretty much said the same thing and referenced the grumbling on the street about Paul's greed, and that he was a recluse, and Tommy was pretty unpopular as well. But he controlled most of the businesses and took in something like 25% to 50% of their revenue. He could shut down that city if he wanted too. Even if Gotti didn't kill him, he was done anyway. The FBI had loads of tape on him from that lamp.
He should be a voice over of a character in a Future GTA game of a MOB Boss
2:29 so many truths come out of this man's mouth
He looks like liam nesson
Vlad “D-Boy Homie” TV
Great Advice
This is the realist part 🙌🏾
"Yes" "No" "That is correct" 👍
Never be GREEDY.
I am about 50 years old. I grew up In Philadelphia and South Jersey. Gotti was well known and looked up to when I was young. He looked awesome and there were many Gambino people in our neighborhoods. In my opinion, RICO Laws made American suburbs more unsafe. The Mafia is a necessary Evil. The Police are constrained by the US Constitution. The Mafia will keep the neighborhood safe just by their presence. Fear is a powerful motivator.
Success builds contempt
Yep, the money makers they don’t kill.
If interviews with michael dont reach to atleast part 140 im going to sue you vlad
Can you just drop the full fucking interview? Damn
Wtf vlad drop the interview u over doing it part 22
James Staubin imagine if Eminem comes, 50 part series.
You should start doing interviews.
You're better than vlad, We all believe in you.
Everyone go watch GOTTI on TH-cam with Armand assante! Epic movie 🔥
Nothing but the absolute truth here, WAAAAAY better than the one with John Travolta!!!
John Ellis I haven’t seen the John T one and I don’t plan on seeing it, I’ve heard the same thing you just said a lot lately.
@@rutadepapel3331 1 word...HORRIBLE!!!
I had the misfortune of accidentally watching a clip of that travolta garbage, when searching go GOTTI, 90s's movie, and so much more realistic
Vinny cried when Paul died, all the way down his chinny chin chin. Also, these guys are only good business men when they have a gun threatening their partners.
Bruh just drop the whole interview already no one got time for 20 + short ass videos. Plz and thank you✌🏾
It’s cool with me. I watch these short ass vids when I’m at work on a break or lunch. I can catch a vid and not be late getting back to work.
you lost my support at "Bruh"
Why are these so short man come on
Michael , do you have relatives in Bridgeport?
Big Pauls Todt Hill mansion in Staten Island is up for sale for $16.8M. OMFG Its an amazing property especially the backyard
I couldn't constantly live looking over my shoulders!! $$ ain't that serious!!
I feel the same way too. Even if someone wanna call me whatever name in the book..... I wasn't made for the street life lol.
I cant put a $$$ figure on how much it'd make it worthwhile to live in a constant state of paranoia either from being arrested or being put in the grave.
@@FuShengAlex aint nothing like peace of mind!!!
Robby Brown and that’s why you didn’t make a lot of money in the streets . It’s a sacrifice a lot of men are willing to make
Thats why ur broke homie
FuShengAlex you don’t have to look over your shoulder 😂 when you have that kind of money you don’t have shoulders
Where tf is the full interview
Please just come out with another taken movie 💯💯
Vlad, please let Michael do more of the talking.
Add your stuff here and there, nothing wrong with that.
I like this series, but would love it if you'd just step back a bit and let the man talk more.
This Guy is unbelievably polite,Respectful And a man with So much class.
New Name For this Dude “Mr. Savior Fare “
May the spirits continue on watching over him and his family and I pray he continue on staying close to YHWH.
He’s Amazing!
Very inspiring and motivational.
Why that drum kit thou?
I don’t know why I was focusing on how many times he was blinking cos damn he blinked alot
