There's people that you could hear talking for a whole day and never get bored, this is one of them.

Michael Franzese is going to be the type of grandpa with a lot of stories in a family reunion that you could hear and never get bored

Once an earner, always an earner. You made money as a made man in the mafia, now you make money from your books, KZfaq channel, and tours around the world. This guy knows how to make money in any avenue he's in. It's awe inspiring.

"What is the normal day in the life of a mobster?" Stress 24/7/365.

Nothing like hearing a former mobster teaching me about the spirit of Christmas. Bless you and your family bro.

Anyone else appreciate how Michael's videos are always one shot?

I've always liked Mobster movies. My favorites are the Godfather and Goodfellas. I just found your channel over the weekend and find it fascinating.

"use your imagination" Damn...

The "mob life" has never had any place in my life. And, yet, I still love the personal stories and the history.

“This Thing Of Ours” - one of THE BEST BOOKS I’ve ever read. Treasured & read many times. ⭐️

I saw you speak maybe 12 or 13 years ago in Ohio, I went with a mentor of mine who was in the mafia for nearly 30 years and was able to walk away relatively unscathed. I recently rediscovered you and started watching your videos and really appreciate the message you give. There is nothing quite like a story of redemption and your life is an example of what people in dark places can hope for. God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, you and your family.

I can relate. We used to travel cross country with my mom and dad chain smoking while driving with windows up and when you start to roll the window down. It is the end of the world. I guess that’s why I never smoked. Thanks for sharing your life. It is fascinating and scary at the same time.

Michael’s house must have 24 rooms. He’s in a different room in near enough every video. Ha ha.

Mike ever since I've heard you talk about the importance of waking up early I've been trying to do that too, just wanted to let you know that. Thank you ❤️

“Use your imagination...” Translation...I ain’t giving the FEDS nothin!

I love Michaels positivity and encouragement, I think that’s part of what made him successful then and now

Loved the video listened to the whole thing

I feel like he opens up another dimension in my head and I picture all he's talking about instead of seeing him, he's like a walking novel!

I think it's interesting the amount work ethic, creativity and ambition these guys have....start putting that towards things that are legitimate and the sky's the limit without all the stress, anxiety and worry of "that life".

Inspirational brother 🙏🏼 My life is nowhere near as extreme as yours but I did do time in jail and grew up on a rough council estate in Birmingham U.K.. I’ve now completely change my life around and I can relate to someone who’s took them negatives and now turned it to positives. All the best brother great content 🙏🏼👍🏼

I can listen to you sir whole day long.Especially when you say -Let me tell you this-You know then you gonna get a very smart,wise,advice based on life experience.Take care mr. Franzese.

I've read the books and have seen about everything possible followed you for years Michael. Love all of it

Michael, I love hearing your stories. I'm a huge fan of the mob's history, and as someone who has recently found christ you really inspire me to live my best life. Thanks man. Best wishes to you and yours, and happy holidays.

Kind of funny how an ex mobster says that the commute was tough lol

It’s always great to listen to your stories . Thank you Sir

I know your goal now is to spread the word of God. But I hope you never get frustrated telling old war stories. You provide an incredible insight into a world that 99.9% of us will never see. Much love from back home in Brooklyn.

The tone of your voice, the way you relate your messages, very inspirational and motivational. I was watching a Henry Hill interview and my God the way you come across as opposed to Henry’s outcome is a complete difference, they should of made a movie about you, you totally overcame and changed your life around! Definitely inspirational! I didn’t know who you were but I stumbled upon some of your videos and now I can’t stop watching and listening! So educated and humble and I can listen to those stories for days! Please continue all your content is amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Just discovered this channel and I cannot stop watching the content! You’re a very insightful, wise and humble man. It’s very inspiring to see that no ones future is set!

Hope you and your family have a great Christmas Michael, God bless

You’re an inspiration to us all! What you do for your viewers is amazing!!! Great video! Keep it up! I’m praying for your safety and health!

You're a good man michael. Some things you can't hide. The lord changes hearts.

For a guy like me being interested in the history of the Cosa Nostra, it is really a privilege to hear the stories from a man who not only has been there but also gave it some deep thinking in all the aspects. Presenting this in a polite way, without being proud of violance and using F words all the time makes it worth following this. Well done Mr. Franzese!

Really inspirational Michael! You deserve so much respect for your family loyalty and priorities with your kids. Regards from the UK! 🙏🏽

Like everything in life there may be advantages being a mafia man but nothing is gained without some form of hard work Michael

I appreciate your message brother. Very uplifting on a crappy day at work

I love these sit downs...I have learned so much and thoroughly enjoy the topics and all of the guests. I have purchased 3 of the 4 books you mentioned on this video and I am looking forward to your new project about our government.

Merry Christmas Mr Franzese to you and your family. We are indeed all blessed, I think more are waking up to that realization and are trying to do the right thing and live accordingly

I am glad you get to tell these stories, its like going back to the 1980's all over again

I love the authenticity, straight forward, no BS content. MF you definitely inspire me to get where I want to be and obtain what I want! Thank you!

I like this guy hes so likeable and natural And he treats people with such respect

I still can't get over how young and healthy you look. Keep uploading these great stories.

Michael, you need to get in the kitchen and show us how to cook an authentic Italian meal.

Finding this Channel was one the best things to happen to me all month! my dad and I been watching a lot of these, love the stories! Michael really is a great story teller 👍

I like the story. Very encampsulating. The way he describe every detail is like drawing a person inside a book

Crazy how you have turned your life around literally 180 i was fasinated about you as a mob guy but i find myself just as interested now #legend

“A day in the life of a mobster named Mike” 🎶 🎵

As a humble member of the bar and restaurant industry, I greatly appreciate your sympathy Mister Franzese. Merry Christmas to you and yours, sir!

I could listen to Michael talk all day. One of the most interesting people on youtube.

Michael i love your content.. always been a mafia history buff so I cant get enough of your stories and experiences. They truly help me greatly, in a positive manner. I would love to see you do a series on your fathers life. I have no doubt the story of your fathers life from recruit to boss is absolutely unreal and it would be a shame to not hear that full story. God bless you Michael and thank you so much.

Michael Franzese had the makings of a Varsity KZfaqr

I could never get bored with watching these videos, thank you Michael for sharing it with us. Hope all the best for you and your family.

I hope someday we have the luck of hearing you personally, you´ve got a lot of fans down here in Uruguay, may God bless you, Mr. Franzese

God the Father is SUCH a clever title

Wow 3 minutes that's a new record, glad you uploaded Michael, good weekend and happy holidays.

Shows how realistic the Sopranos was. Some of what he said about kicking up, reminded me of the problems Christopher had with Paulie and the problems Tony faced with his crew members and their issues. Another great video. GB guys

MICHAEL , your show definetley has an addictive quality to it. total quality entertainment

This year has been a rough one to say the least bit prayer and Gods grace will get us all through it. Much love and God bless xoxo

Great story, can totally relate with the car filled with smoke and as a nonsmoker rolling down the window then get screamed at because it's now freezing in the car.🤠

When you hear that music intro, you know you’re in for a good time! Always a pleasure watching your videos Michael !

This is so informational. He broke down the positions and I understood it a lil better

5:47 What made that scene hilarious he immediately lights another cigarette after he says to close the window.

Reading blood convenant right now, bought it for my self for christmas, greetings to you and your family. God bless.

You can hear the life experiences in the tone an characteristics in his voice that you know are pure. Great video brotha 👌

I love the story. I love that it's told in the same voice and inflection that I heard around the Sunday dinner table growing up.

We just had a family member who was tested positive for Covid and another family member, who is not going to make through the weekend. I just want all of you to be happy and live life!this

Michael keep dropping these great videos. God bless you. Slan go foill (Irish for bye for now /pronounced "Slawn go foal")

I read the title too fast and for some reason I read “day in the life of a lobster” and saw Michael... it took me a solid second to figure it out lmao

i love listening, to me its like a podcast because my grandparents never had a sit down with me and told stories

Loving all the content !🙏 bought the book for my uncle as a present during Xmas as he is a born again Christian and I'm so eager to hear his opinion. He's also been through a lot of struggles so I'm sure he can relate in ways.. keep up the amazing work 👍

I've been watching these videos daily. 👍

It's so interesting to be able to get this kind of insight into the world of organized crime. I love tuning in and enjoying these stories with you!

Ive listened to a lot of guys who were in the mob over the years, but I cannot think of 1 that id rather listen to or that I find myself agreeing with more then Mike Franzese. I hope you guys have a good holidays and make the most of it.

That was a great outline for an informational background. Leadership principles apply in most formal public or secret organizational structures as Michael clearly communicates. There are educational gems with perception. Happy Holidays to the community at large. A very thoughtful channel.

U have a good heart Mr.Franzece! U always try nd soothe us at the end of your videos ...Thank U nd Godbless u nd your family as well💯👍🙏

Michael, one video I’d love to see you do would be to talk about the Mafia’s “rules” and how closely they actually stuck to them. I think a lot of what fascinates people about the mob is the “uomo d’onore” aspect, for instance that the mob would not involve themselves in drugs, engage in contract killings (except on their own members) or kill civilians or cops for any reason. I’d be really interested to hear if these rules were kept/enforced, and what defined a “civilian” when dealing with the mob.

Hi Michael, love seeing your videos and joined your crew some time ago. Really appreciate your story and what you do for your crew

Would love to see celebrity guests on this channel. I think it’ll elicit tons of great conversations and content.

Love the way you fit your shirts. Perfect choice color and style. Thanks for the stories. Blessings to you and family

Time just flies by listening to you Michael, cant wait to hear more.

I’ve been watching Micheal’s videos for ages. Half Italian fellow New Yorker, and love the history the stories provide. Keep ‘em coming Micheal. And many prayers for you and your family in your hard times (and your good)

Have a great Christmas Micheal

There's really something sobering about Lefty's story. One of the most loyal made guys and they show him in a small apartment barely staying afloat financially. That's real, few gangsters are lavish-living millionaires.

Always interesting hearing about the mindset of people who have lived lives in quite unique circumstances.

I thoroughly enjoy the videos you make Michael. I enjoy the stories and the sharing of experience. I could listen to you all day, credit to you and that golden voice. Thanks for all the inspiring words.

I'm going to have to order your book

I absolutely love how you talked about the current issues that we are facing without getting into the politics. I wish you and your family the best and please keep the great videos coming. I am patiently waiting daily for the uploads.

apparently my great grandpa was in the mob. idk if it’s true. but i since i heard that i’ve been pretty interested in that type of life so i enjoy watching you and hearing your stories

Michael you are big inspiration.Good bless you in the new 2021!

IDC what I'm doing here in Vegas I see franzese forget about it

I just love your videos sir and you wisdom i feel like im talking to my wise grandpa please keep the stories coming btw i miss my grandpa so this helps

Here after the interview with Mike Tyson . The mob is so interesting . The lifestyle is honor and respect . Stay true live strong

No matter how intense your stories are, you always find a way to encourage us to learn & grow. With Great Appreciation, Many Thanks!

Who else wants to see Michael do a Top 10 mob movies

Hey Michael LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! I've been following up on you for a few years now and I was really excited but to hear about your podcast. I would really love to hear more about your earlier days as a soldier. I know you may not be able to go too deep into it but it would be really interesting. Also can't wait for your sit down with Sammy

Michael is such a charismatic guy who is honest and sincere his online business is destined for great success keep up the good work

I love the authenticity the Michael brings to this content. Growing up in NY I can appreciate some one telling it like it is. A true Mobster that turned his life around. Its never too late to chose the right path,, Brothers in Christ.

"Brick and mortar stores." Classic description.

Dang, u were with some heavy hitters. Glad that u made it. Its not like that anymore. You were a real og. Glad to c u make it.

hi I'm Dan andI'm from the UK and I love this guy he remind me of my uncle Joe who literally brought me up , it's the way he tells his storys and proves you don't have to be a nasty human being and living a criminal life Micheal seems to have been a fair member and treated his crew right , but these posts put tears to my eyes as I miss my uncle Joe so much and I would like to thank you for sharing your storys and respect for the life choices you made I'm sure it was a very difficult time but it shows ephineys come in all shapes and sizes , I could and I do listen to you all day , role on your story hitting the screens will be a refreshing take on the mob life due to you not flipping and still being here to tell these facinating story's 👊✌️

I have been finding your utube commentaries most informative. They are testaments of what spiritual faith can do in the life of individuals who may have been on the wrong path; meaning wrong for themselves and their families though not necessarily known by them at the time. Yours is possibly more dramatic and attention-getting because of being mob related. Having a few years on you, actually a few decades, you will see even more as time goes on. I appreciate your attitude and manner of presentation in that it is apparent that you make it clear that your former life though more materially oriented, is substantially inferior to the spiritual way of life you now live. Though you are likely criticized by some for “flaunting” the advantages of a criminal life and financially profiting from it by now writing books and publishing videos, it appears to me that you are more interested in advancing the good that your life experiences can convey than the money you can derive from it. I so hope that you continue in this vein and have people around you who can help you maximize your efforts in this regard. Blessings, Dan
