[@uknasa007]

Two Mafia hit-men are walking deep into a forest in the middle of the night. One of them says: "I gotta admit I'm scared out here." The other replies: "You're scared... I gotta walk back alone!"

HAHAH that’s good😂

[@phillipgarrow2297]

I haven't been watching your channel as much as I would like I'm concerned about all the conflicts in the middle east there is so much false information floating around I'm afraid the world might be heading into World War 3 there are to many big players in this game I'm afraid Iran has more powerful allies than the united states has I'm afraid that they will bring this fight to our homeland

[@garyacker7388]

Yeah "Silvio" 😂😮

[@Henry-yf2np]

“Maybe I want to do it again at some point in time.” Haha, that’s great!

[@michaelblack7726]

Maybe he never stopped, maybe that's why he's still alive haha

[@Cashcrop54]

Wonder if he needs associates?

[@Manuelabor1978]

He's in cahoots with ca govt

[@Trollucard]

@@Manuelabor1978Woah, I don’t think he’d go that far to make a buck

[@Cardb33]

I can't believe Michael is 73. He looks like he's in his early 50's at most. All that gas money, he must have bought the Fountain of Youth or something cause he doesn't even look close to 73. Incredible.

[@emiliacardenas2782]

i think realistically it’s because he was in prison, and he’s talked about solitary. lack of sun exposure means less skin damage

[@donfutura1]

He's still working a 9-5er

[@wolvthehero]

His dad lived until age 103 so obviously good genes run in his family haha

[@glen8449]

Mike, you're about as real as it gets. I cant tell you how much I enjoy hearing your lifetime stories.Thanks for all of it. God bless.

[@GamingGrenade1]

I'm really looking forward to the movie based on Michael's life. From joining the mob as a young man in the early 1970s to save his wrongly incarcerated father after he was framed for bank robbery, to becoming the face of his own KZbin channel. What a film _that_ is going to be.

[@williamshakespeare9815]

Being in solitary for months on end, walking away from the Mafia and not being killed, meeting his wife and finding faith, there would be so much.

[@angeldesigns1385]

They should call it “the golden years” especially if they are going to cover the time that his dad was in the life. Then during the ending credits, they could give an actual news footage compilation of all the 90’s wise guys going to court or jail, as a way of saying goodbye to the golden years.

[@Buttsley1]

“Wrongly incarcerated” hahahahaha I understand Michael being in denial about his dad but cmon lmao, you can’t be serious. What’s next, John gotti was framed too?

[@TheNotoriousMrDee]

I don't have a problem with him being in the Mafia. People should just be honest about it lol So he was a gangster. He's also charismatic and intelligent and he quit that life long ago.

[@freddynovember5842]

I dont go to the theater often but I would absolutly go see a movie based on your life bro. Much respect.

[@DarkCreed]

I think so far he's only appeared in Goodfellas

[@Supadrumma441]

​@DarkCreed which doesn't make sense cause he wasn't part of that family.

[@TheOne-pq4ph]

@@Supadrumma441it’s cause he knew Henry hill and cause he had name value at that time so the director used him

[@josiahmitchell8594]

​@@TheOne-pq4ph Also knew Paulie, and Jimmy, I think Tommy as well.

[@FortValance]

​@DarkCreed His name was used in Goodfellas due to his notoriety at the time the movie was released but Michael Franzese was a Captain in the Colombo family and Goodfellas was made about a crew working with the Luchesse family...

[@angelnevarez3308]

Mr. Franzese, I may not agree with all your political views at time but you are a true stand up guy. I hope that you do live longer than your father and continue to enjoy your children, family and success for a long time to come.

[@WPUpioneer]

Thomas Jefferson once said "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend."

[@samanthas6073]

You’re one of my favorite KZbinrs. ❤️ And thank you for caring about women’s safety!

[@fortyofforty5257]

Good stuff, Michael. Thanks for all you do, speaking truth and neither badmouthing nor sugar coating your previous life.

[@FortValance]

This guy is a legend... Defrauds the government of 8 million dollars a week for 7 years.... buys a plane, a helicopter, multiple boats and mansions, flys to court in New York in a helicopter and offers the FBI a seat in his helicopter to avoid the traffic in the City after the hearings.... That surely deserves recognition.... they must have been desperate to jail Michael

[@JohnScalia]

"In the darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother, we will fight them together" Love your story Michael, your a great inspiration for the next generation!

[@nawzaddilshad4190]

Watching Michael franzase is never gets boring

[@davidneidel436]

I really enjoy listening to a few podcasts and yours is one I enjoy listening to. I can't wait for your movie to come out. Best wishes in your endeavors. I am 74 and still enjoy working, just as much as my 75 year old brother. Long live those of us who enjoy working today.

[@onedangerousmanreacts]

Thank you Micheal! God bless you and your beautiful family

[@sausagefruit7690]

“Maybe I want to do it again at some point in time.” Fair enough. 😎2:46

[@onerandombruh]

That was what I call "Beautiful Savagery"

[@kellywilson8440]

You are a very uplifting human being Mr. Franzese , Thank you for all the wonderful videos and god bless you and yours as well !

[@DavyRo]

Looking forward to this, have a lot of respect for Micheal.

[@Davivd2]

My question for Michael Franzese is this: With every story that I hear from a former law breaker, they only stop when put in prison, or killed. You were making enough money to retire before you got caught. Did you ever consider walking away from the life and living off of your legitimate businesses? Was that even an option?. I know that the people you kick up to would want to you to keep earning for them. Could you have passed things over to an associate in order to walk away?

[@m16ty]

They never never do, the vast majority of legitimate business men don't either. Greed has a lot to do with it, but in the mob you also have to worry about getting at odds with them. If he had just "quit while he was ahead" the mob bosses would start getting suspicious as to why, and they would also be upset to loose the revenue stream. Also, it's real easy to say that about a multi-millionaire but most people in general are like that. I won't speak for you, but I remember when I was young and newly married, we didn't have a lot but all my needs were met. Now that I'm 50, I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm vastly ahead of where I was in my 20s and I have a lot of stuff that I like but don't really "need". The argument could be made that I should have quit (or at least slowed down) years ago.

[@Cashcrop54]

Enjoyed hearing this even though I knew the answers already for most of them. Thank you and God Bless Michael and your family.

[@falloutfan6649]

My wife and I love watching mafia movies so I’m definitely looking forward to the movie about you. And since you’re involved with it I’ll know it’s gonna be true to your story and not loosely based on your life like most biopic movies are

[@nguvideos2868]

Have you seen gotti 1996? So good and free here on you tube.

[@Carlo-h2b]

On my mother's life Michael i thought you are in ur late fifties,73 is crazy, nothing but the best wishes man keep taking care of your health ur a legend 😊

[@DrChem-wx1uc]

You should see Michael do his “have or have not.” It’s one of the best segments I’ve ever seen. They asked him if he ever ordered a hit

[@GregoryBradley-v3t]

Your dad looking at 50 years anybody that had a little bit information with a slung everybody, your dad‘s man’s man for not doing it nobody’s ever pulled that much time from the mafia anywhere else respect

[@MaestorRasanen]

I have to say Michael I would love to sit down and have a glass of wine with you. We all know that the 'business' is violent and cruel and dangerous but the thing which always intrigued me was the respect. Respect and the demand of respect and also showing the respect. It seems to sit deep in you. The mere seconds you talk shows it.

[@ladiuneeq9789]

"Is Michael Francese real?" 😂😂😂 Hilarious!

[@rja9566]

I'm like you Michael, I can't speak Italian like I used to but I can certainly understand it. I know what people are saying when they're speaking the language, but like you I don't speak Italian to anybody anymore. Or Greek for that matter. Now that's a hard language . My grandpa taught me words but I forgot most of them. I admire you sir I really do I think what you're doing is terrific and the way you turned your life around just completely admirable. God bless you and your family Michael!

[@boblekewl]

My FIL is 87. Still working. Surprise, surprise, he is Italian 😅. He says. “Why do I retire? I retire I die.”

[@pmedford65]

Much respect Michael

[@hdx-gv7fm]

Hi Micheal, Just to let you know, when you start learning Italian, you will probably find that it doesn't sound the way your father and grandparents spoke. Thats because they probably spoke napoletano, which is quite different from mainstream Italian. My family thought my Great Grandma forgot Italian because people from Italy would speak to her and she had a hard time understanding them. But last year I discovered the Neapolitan language and realized my Great Grandmother didn't forget Italian she never spoke Italian. Years ago, I tried learning Italian, and I recalled my Great Grandma teaching me "Italian" words, and they weren't pronounced the same as in the book. Now I know why.

[@DeanSantaanna-k1n]

2:55 that picture always gets me😂😂 Mike looks like he's going to the disco club😂

[@debra7933]

Hi Mr. Franzese, I loved the Bible study the other night. Thank you! I fell asleep before it was over (I'm a very early riser). Any chance you could offer one earlier, like 6:00 or 6:30? Keep up the great work.

[@banfauniapac]

you know its bad out there when a former mafia captain is telling you be safe and that its bad out there💀

[@NickyBurgandy-fj5nb]

Salute to you Mr Franzese

[@KnozLo]

Retirement may not be a thing for people who's job is to speak. But someone who works hard manual labour retirement sounds good especially when your body is giving up.

[@goannaj3243]

Get Eric Bana to come around for a weekend and get it right like he did in the Chopper movie.

Do you think it could be possible to do a series reaction/ commentary to The Chosen series ? that would be really interesting! :) Love your work!

[@charleyboytheredeemed3347]

I second this

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

I'm guessing the gas scheme has to be, the gas supplier would bill for a lot less than what Mike would actually take delivery of. The gas supplier (inside guy) would get paid cash for the difference and the underground tanks were filled up. I'm guessing the cash sales were not reported and all those gallons going into peoples' gas tanks, the difference would be the state and/or federal gas tax.

[@karengarrison3666]

I'm a new subscriber, and am thoroughly enjoying your channel! I've got caught-up on everything, and still searching for more! ❤

[@jethrowbowdeen]

Some of the things I did to make money when I was younger, I'm not proud of. I did it in order to feed myself and a couple of siblings. I've been married for 22 proud years with 3 healthy girls. The day I was married was the day I made a promise never to do anything again. But I will always keep those things inside of me until the end.

[@vincentsun2759]

Retirement? What's that? BBQ and ball game? Kidding aside, when you got the feeling, and all the feed back are positive energy, you are on the right track, just keep doing it.

[@matpeachey3946]

It’s so funny to me how the most positive guy I watch on this platform is a retired made guy from the gambino crime family 😂 love this man. Great video as always! Also.. how on earth are you in your 70s lol you look younger than me and I’m 38 haha 😅 peace and love all

[@joey4523]

The only answer that was a bit surprising is that you don't speak Italian. Great video as always. Keep up the great work. Good content should always be appreciated.

[@dipshidz]

The guy's a natural-born orator. Never a stutter. Never misses a beat. Always on point. Clear as a bell. I swear, he could sell ice to Eskimos. You should start your own public speaking course, Mike. Seriously, you gotta think about this.

[@onerandombruh]

02:49 I spat my coffee as Mr. Franzese really caught me off guard on that one... Well played, sir. That being said, is he really 73? Looks incredibly good for his age!
