He's seen a lot and learned from it. He became wise and humble. It's hard to dislike this guy.

Yeap

Truth. He doesn’t come across arrogant and I can hear the genuine concern for his fellow man in his voice.

He sounds so repentant. It's never the mobs fault. Alcohol isn't a bad drug? Lol. Excuses

Theirs guys that said they where delivering him 69 million in cash and he forfeited some assets but in the end got them down the irs to 20grand in cash all those millions to junior bthe snake musta paid off

Exactly I had no idea he was 69

His father still had a full line of hair. Most guys lose their hair at 25.

Italian genetics at play people with Mediterranean heritage age like fine wine

@@darkdog42 I think you might be on to something Mediterranean diet (not American Italian but actual Mediterranean Greek/Italian etc) is pretty much the easiest in the western world for longevity lots of seafood, whole grains and very little processed foods Same with people in the Caribbean people that live off the land tend to have longer on the earth But goodness gracious Michael would pass for 40 - it didn’t click until he said he was made 45 years ago I’m mid 30’s and I hope I look that good at 50

Only because he got pinched

It's mob money from back in the days

Albanian mafia!

You did well.

Mate considering this guy became a criminal in the first place precisely because of his parents he probably doesnt agree. If not for his mobster father (and abusive bitch of a mother it seems) Franceze would have been a doctor not a capo.

Great keep it up, just stay away from drugs too ;)

James, I live thousands of miles away from you but this comment made me really happy. You've chosen well

parents teach by setting a good example. you made a good choice

Great memory too.

Extremely intelligent. Almost became a doctor too

So true what ever trials and tribulations ur going through u can always change ur life and then turn it around i did 2 and half years ago i quit drugs changed everything got all my sober friends back and my bestfriends back stopped selling drugs and became a tax payer alot all of this took 3 years it wasnt over night but i didnt make mistakes over night either but this guy is a true inspiration i became a born again Christian and watching this guy is that proof is that its never to late to turn ur life around if anyone is struggling dm me i may be able to help! Lost 9 friends to fentynol laced drugs lost my dad when i was 11 and fkund my bestfriend my grandfsther hanging in the garage after work cuz he retired and becoame a alcholic... ,So people no matter what hr going through it will work out sometimes u gotta put alot of work in but its so worth it to be straight.

Hear, hear!

Yes

Even the Apostle Paul told Timothy:"Drink no longer Water, but a little Wine for thy Stomach's sake, and for thine often infirmities. A lot of people don't know this, but 8 Ounces of Red Wine per day is actually good for the human body. It can clear out cholesterol buildups in the Veins and Arteries. It can be good for you...as long as you don't abuse it! If you can't find or drink Red Wine, then use Grape Juice. It's gooood fer ya!!!

@@ronaldshank7589 Amen brother.

Still waiting for that one

I think he mentioned Sopranos in some past videos, though I never heard anything about Boardwalk Empire which would be great to see.

I really enjoyed boardwalk! Too bad the 5th season was rushed and rothstein was killed off and we never saw how! Seasons 1-4 were phenomenal in my opinion.

@@treysexton1624 he wasn't killed off Rothstein was actually killed

@@wescollins2981 I know he was but he was a huge character in the show and we got maybe a line in season 5 about his death! It was very lack luster!

@Richard Holst never got to watching that but I assume it’s the UK version of boardwalk haha?

💯

Mafia can't enforce underground rules without the psychopaths. Murderers enabled his behavior.

@@tallswede80 Yeah they’re the muscle just like workers. You can’t run a company without workers but guys at the top are the brains that make the company money.

@@christriseninteractivechur2192 i have been clean almost 3 years.

@@christriseninteractivechur2192 one thing i found was that once i became a born again Christian it was easier to get clean my withdrawls were practically gone but i know non believers will say things but honestly when i was in rehab i found a friend when i was lowest point in my life and he showed me the bible and helped me throughout the program and the sad part is he switched to a dif place cuz he finished the program and died from overdose. But he was a gangster a big time one who turned his life around i think thats why he helped me cuz i was like him when he came in

If u ask me the mafia in America ain't going nowhere the government laws just forced them to evolve and become more sophisticated

Prince El-Bey I agree with you with that one!

The Government is the mafia now. They should legalize all vice. Regulate it and curb the never ending violence.

You're right on target with that statement! What's worse is that there's at least one Gang (MS-13), that, when you join their ranks, you literally have to sell your soul to Satan. Respectfully speaking-No thanks! Not for me! I'd rather have Jesus!

Joe Rogan would have to learn to keep his mouth shut first. He often forgets he has guests and they need to be able to complete phrases, sentences, and paragraphs before he opens his gob.

@@TheMaleRei you obviously don't watch his show. Hes known for his good listening

@@nikolatesla8508 I have seen plenty of his product where he is constantly interrupting with "woooooow" and "whoa" and "that's willlldddddeeee" and "interesting" and "want to smoke some weed" and all manner of humor where he full knows his guest is trying to make a point he doesn't agree with.

@@TheMaleRei agreed

@@TheMaleRei don't agree Rogan is great.

Alcohol is worse then any drugs look at the numbers

What's the answer? Try prohibition again?

@@onepocketslim yes

@@onepocketslimI dont think he was saying it should be illegal too. He was pointing out Michael's flawed argument that drinking should be legal and drugs shouldn't. Alcohol is by definition a drug. It's chemical you consume to achieve a psychoactive effect. Just because the route of administration is drinking, doesnt make it not a drug. You can put cocaine into a soda, drink it and get high on cocaine. And michael lumping all drugs in together disingenuous at best.

Anything you abuse can kill you. (Just ask Johnny Stompanato!) Alcohol is relatively harmless when taken occasionally, and then by those who have no underlying psychological problems. There are mountains of cases of people becoming addicted to cocaine or heroin after the first use. I’ve dealt first hand with people on drugs AND alcohol in my personal life. It’s not pretty, and they all had underlying issues. I can’t imagine a person with a healthy outlook on life draining a bottle, or snorting coke, or smoking weed, or shooting heroin. (The last of which, due in part to the way it is taken, and often in less-than-hygienic surroundings, was long considered the lowest one could sink before crystal meth became popular.)

I think that as well one swave guy

Nobody who knows what they're talking about would ever claim LCN did not deal drugs - they have *always* been involved with drugs. The confusion is due to the fact that at multiple times and at different intensities (usually based on power structures of the era), dealing in drugs was outlawed by La Cosa Nostra...an offense punishable by death. But puttin the moves on another guy's wife was also punishable by death, and plenty of made guys did that too. BOTTOM LINE = Yes, it was outlawed. No, the rule was never obeyed uniformly. Thus, true stories of mob drug dealing exist.

He lives w pple his wife maybe

No such thing as ghosts.

I know thats why its his wife

A cat maybe.

@@bro-bh5kj idk man it was jet black

I'm not sure Chicago has much of an Outfit anymore.

I guess has a magical painting of him, the painting gets older while he still youthfull

He already did. It's the one where somebody accused him of skimming and he got called in. His father went in first and didn't defend him. Very stressful but also very painful.

Michael have already talk about it, it was the sitdown which he did go thinking he will be killed.

Very true

Yep.

and you were there right

Joe also worked with the Outfit & NY

Thanks for the history lesson that everone knows already

He should ! Am sure gonna be an amazing episode and gonna boost his KZfaq channel overnight
