The Wise and Wiseguy Review "GET GOTTI" Series | Chazz Palminteri & Michael Franzese

[@Brooke52528]

Out of everybody in the Mafia KZbin craze, Michael wins the prize for being the most likeable I feel. And I've watched them all!

[@TheWiseandtheWiseguy]

thank you for the very kind words.

[@IwonyoulostLOL]

For sure

[@IwonyoulostLOL]

And I wanna say this without being rude, but I kinda got annoyed when Chazz interrupted Michael several times

[@Highznberg]

Joey Merlino podcast is decent too

[@johngarry1572]

Mikey Scars is good -early days for Merlino he seems good also

[@jacobmeleciox8707]

NEVER thought I'd hear a mobster say "hit that like and subscribe" 😂

[@patriciaredmond3996]

Big fan from Ireland, love to hear the history between Irish and Italians in New York

[@TheWiseandtheWiseguy]

We appreciate it very much!

[@LudiCrust.]

The history between them is just as crazy & widespread in Chicago. My grandfather & his 8 brothers & sisters emigrated to Chicago from Ireland in the early 1920s. There must’ve been some kind of program because a lot of the Irish men became police officers there. Anyways, the Chicago Outfit recruited the Irish police officers’ kids to be their rum runners & eventually recruited the Irish cops themselves which then gave them a complete lock on bootlegging. Why they decided to work for the Italians & not the Irish American gangs I don’t know but that’s the story that was passed down to my dad & to me.

[@patriciaredmond3996]

@@LudiCrust. Really interesting, always wondered about so many Irish men becoming police men back then in America

[@staffsaddler7611]

Watch the making of the mob season2. It’s on the Chicago mob ( Al Capone ) and the Irish mob. Very good watch. Season1 with lucky quality too

[@patriciaredmond3996]

[@Johnmalzone]

This is my favorite podcast right now. Michael and Chaz’s chemistry is amazing!

[@RyFrey-i3i]

You two gentlemen help me along especially with the higher power thoughts you guys share I love listening to you both God bless

[@JoeHernandez1210]

Just found this Channel. It was great. Fantastic insights and entertainment. Just subscribed looking forward to more.

[@cimonak]

The person that hurt the mob the most might be Joe Bonnano I believe. His book gave Rudy Gulianni almost all the ammunition he needed to prosecute a RICO case against the five families at once. He litteraly gave all the succession of bosses from the beginning of the commission right to the late 60s, all Rudy had to do from this point on was figure out the rest of that succession

[@johngarry1572]

Rudy claimed only recently Chin was never Genovese boss!!!!

[@DannyDGeorgia]

@@johngarry1572the Chin was definitely boss, and he wanted Gotti dead after they killed Castellano.

[@johngarry1572]

@@DannyDGeorgia lol yes i know this -i think everybody bar Rudy knows this.Im pretty sure it was an interview with Vlad where Rudy said Salerno was the real boss-they told Chin he was the Realboss to keep him quiet and he was nuts.If Rudy truely believes that well what can i say lol the interview was only last maybe the years before!!!Chin had them fooled for years!

[@rickarra1833]

Wasn't that stupid. IDK what the hell he was thinking

[@kennethgrossgross2921]

Love the podcast love the stories I don't watch much on TV or internet but I do watch you guys man the time can fly by listening to yous and your story telling keep em coming

Great video and channel this. On 19:12 who is ly...... I got lost tbh. Fascinating stuff.

[@glasgowgallus247]

Aye, even from way over here in Scotland, this is a treat, and Mike's integrity, and obvious _volte face_ in life, is clear... and Chaz is an utter legend. Dare I say a _wee_ bit underrated as a talent? Certainly not by us 'in the know...' , but I just feel he's a tad under-appreciated... Either way, a lot of wisdom here from both, and inspiration too I hope. A pleasure to subscribe chaps...👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@xavierjames8085]

Tony accardo in Chicago never spent 1 day in jail at all ! One of the best bosses to ever do it 💯💯💯💯

[@MyKLP73]

Love you guys thanks for everything, has anyone thought to do a show about Chin Gigante with Chazz portraying Chin

[@chefbrian26]

Have you watched god father of Harlem? He’s in that as one of the bonanos and him & chin go to war

[@andypotter6886]

Love seeing you and Chaz doing content together. Have just bought tickets to come see you in Doncaster in the UK in April next year. Looking forward to it as saw you previously in Hull on your last visit here and my girlfriend was unable to come last time so i have decided to treat her so she is able to this time

one of my favorite channels. Michael, how would Chase have done as a gangster? I'm smart Chazz, not like everybody esays. It's not what I wanted, I was passed over for my younger brother...

It’s what you are doing now Michael that REALLY matters! God Bless!

[@patd.9140]

Once the Feds set its sights on you you were done. With RICO, manpower, money, and time you dodnt have a chance. Gotti taunted them which was funny but unwise but i dont think he brought down the mob. Many used it as a excuse. RICO should be used on the govt for trafficking, insider trading, influence peddling see hiw fast its taken off the books

[@VenZoric]

Hey Michael Why is the crown moulding missing from the wall

[@makebonesrecords]

Good conversation between two lifes,movies and the street.great idea.michael you are a unreal communicator,i didn't like the get gotti series cause it basically was everything i knew already.god bless

[@nicktironi7677]

Good show fellas! I agree with Michael as I have researched John Sr. He would never have flipped. And as for the tapes, my take is that he was blowing off steam about Sammy. I think he was starting to distrust Sammy and was complaining to Frankie about it. Just a thought

[@diegocanale1124]

I've just finished watching the netflix series on Gotti. Very informative and insightful, especially from the law enforcement end. I'd say the Rico act was a game changer for prosecutors. And by the way Chazz is stand up guy.

[@BarbaraKohler-v3n]

You guys are a perfect match!!! Let's hear about spiritual topics?

[@hedoesnotexistanymore]

If you guys ever do a meet and greet I’m there especially if in Toronto 🇨🇦

great episode watchen right now god bless be safe there

[@TheWiseandtheWiseguy]

Hope you enjoyed it.

[@tito9694]

Sammy ratted to save himself. He knew he was gonna go away for life. John never even gave a interview. Didn’t write a book, didn’t rat on anyone to reduce his sentence. He was a bad guy. Very bad. But he kept somewhere in his legacy a bit of honor

[@Brooke52528]

I love this comment. Perfectly worded!

[@flashbaby3591]

you don't know anything about what went down. only the two parties. stop trying to use your ignorant interpretations just to sound like youre smart about something.

[@xXDDKJefferyXx]

not even close to true the reason sammy flipped was John had entered a profetter's agreement in effort to shift everything on sammy

[@roymunson1]

Exactly, John picked his life, good or bad but stuck true to his oath on his honour. Sammy knew what was coming. Make no mistake, Phil Leonetti flipping was the catalyst in Sammys move. Sammy was for a long time the direct point man between the Gambinos and philly. Leonetti was gonna bring down Sammy first ahead of John as he/scarfo dealt directly through Sammy until John pulled the plug on Sammy as he felt they were getting a bit too pally for his comfort. Sammy knew the good times were up and rolled rather than do his time. A true stone cold narcissistic sociopath who only cares about himself.

[@ianheslep]

​@@xXDDKJefferyXx😂😂😂 that's what Sammy says John wouldn't have done that doesn't even make sense how would he append it all on Sammy when they have his voice on the recording the most Sammy's a lair

I certainly like these 2. I hope they continue to work together

[@roymunson1]

Tony Accardo was one iof the only few bosses not to get killed or do life. Man only spent a few hours inside.

[@chaseleopold]

Carlo Gambino!!!!!!!!!!!

[@roymunson1]

​@@chaseleopoldcarlo spent 22 months inside, but yeah, I get the sentiment, that's why I said one of..

[@Vaccaroland]

I actually met Tony Accardo on a fishing trip to Bimini Bahamas in the late 70's .We both had the same fishing Captain.I arrived one day earlier for my charter and our paths crossed at lunch at the Bimini big Game fishing club. The next table over were two FBI guys.

[@LudiCrust.]

You 2 are great. Great show fellas.

[@rubyslippers5520]

Loved this episode

[@johncastiglione1060]

Michael and Chazz, another great show. Michael Chazz may have heard this. I saw a story that John Gotti was born in The Bronx and at a very young age his parents said. The Bronx was too rough and dangerous so they moved to Queens. Maybe Chazz will know. Regards John Castiglione from The Bronx.

[@ricricciardi7086]

In get gotti the lawyer gave up willie boy johnson as an informer during the trial while he was sitting next to john gotti. He was killed after that so it seems he was killed because of her. And the fbi was very upset that she mentioned his name because they knew what would happen to him and she seemed to know but did not care. She had the nerve to be on the series and showed no remorse I think her name was diane G. That was the only thing that bothered me.

[@bobshuda1281]

michael did you ever go to michaels magic touch in lyons ill in the late 70s

“I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart although he spoke no word! I didn’t ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn’t mind). I asked him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind! I asked that he be near you at the start of each new day; To grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way! I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small. But it was for his loving care I prayed the most of all!”in Jesus name

[@profacibonifacioandrewsignor]

Good to hear from you. I haven't got Netflix but I would watch it, I just watch the news now I haven't really watched TV for years so it's BBC & SKY News just 1/2 HR a day. What I did watch is killers of the flower moon at the cinema in the quays Salford Manchester. The film was good it was a bit like gotti & Sammy the bull, the film was 1920s but de niro was a boss of the mixed native families & di caprio was like a capo the families all got caught up in a war great film.

[@Herkulez1981]

Who is the luchesse that died recently Michael Said he met ? Such a great point from Michael that the only ones gotti took down was himself, gravano and loc. Sammy likes to say john took down the mob but sammys mouth put 25 times as many people in priorn vs gottis mouth

[@MikeDiNatale-bz3tv]

I just came out to So Cal from lifelong 40yrs in NJ and I feel like a Alien 👽

[@azraelairsoft]

A question for Micheal, there are chinese gangsters online talking about their run ins and cooperation with italian mobsters but have you had any run ins with them yourself? if not the chinese how about the Yakuza that had small footholds back in the 80s in NYC? Ive heard of italians and yakuza working together back then but never seen anything really on the news etc. basically wondering how global you guys were aside from europe, LCN in australia and russia.

[@evancarson5011]

Hey when are you two gonna get together and make a Columbo movie? It might be pretty neat

[@Stefandanielsson99]

Netflix I am sorry to say always destroys storys with their wokeness. Great show as usual 💯👍😊

[@AndrewRobertson-kl4vi]

Respect Michael for putting Laura Ward in her place, and Chazz i totally agree with. John Gotti brung down himself. A combination of drugs and the formation of the crooked RICO act brought down Cosa Nostra.

[@JohnHarrison-o5q]

John gotti will always be a legend no matter what anyone says or thinks. I mean sure he did what he did but pretty much became a instant over night legend .

[@anthonymirkovich5156]

Carlo was the one who never caught on tape as well as Joe bannono

[@keithc3413]

They should do a chin movie with Chaz he'd be great as chin

[@Mr40scratch]

Chazz did well acting as Castellano in Boss of Bosses.

[@sonoftheson1977]

Hey Michael ever think about doing a interview with Victoria Gotti.

[@brianduchene4290]

Michael, would you ever do a sit down with John Gotti, Jr. Not to talk about business but about being the son of a very well known mobster in NYC. Would be interesting to see if your experiences were similar or not, especially since you both ended up in the life.

[@nicot2436]

Regarding Sammy saying that John wanted him to take the fall. That claim from Sammy as an excuse so he could Rat is a lie. Not long before this pinch, John wanted Sammy to take control if John went down. Also, if John betrayed Sammy, “per Sammy” why did Sammy turn/betray & help take down everyone in the family & other families..?! (He ratted to avoid prison)

[@wallywombat5829]

I received a message after midnight tonight with a phone number attached it said write me well does that mean send messages to this phone number thru instant messages? Call phone number? I really wanna watch what I write these days they are ignoring state of limitations and jailing people illegally. But I would not mind speaking over phone I am on a burner anyway been for 25 years. Almost non existent I hid so well. Let me know your preference. The things you will hear will surprise you. You have never heard any of this anywhere

In my realistic opinion you join a family this one is the Columbo Family so they say the family comes first I suppose it's up to you if you get married & have children they still come second after your made family.

The reality is this... You can't beat the government. You play by their rules and beat them? They will move the goal post. In Japan, the government decimated the Yakuzas by introducing devastating new laws (really unconstitutional), e.g if you're a member of Yakuza, you can't open a bank account, can't get a loans, can't even rent an apartment. Can't open a business etc...
