But your videos of simply relaying what you've seen, experienced and felt are more gripping than anything Wellman, Scorsese or Coppola ever put on the screen. Your recollections deliver an unforgettable lesson about the veneer of glamor over evil, beneath which is inevitable destruction of the self and everything around you. Seriously, it's like Macbeth.

The best part about him is that he tells the mob stories as a matter of fact and doesnt brag about how crazy he was. I think him and phil leonetti are the only ones sincere about owning up to their mistakes.

Listening to you has helped me so much with my chaotic relationship with my own father. My dad and I have opposite ideologies and the older I got the harder it’s been to live with him. I have a whole slew of my own problems, for sure, which I’m still paying for every day but it’s getting better. Aside from my own issues, everyone in my family over the years, all of whom have overcome their own problems, have tried getting through to our dad and help him stop destroying himself, his life, his marriage, and his family’s lives. I’m sad to say it has never worked, still to this day, I’ve watched my parents not only grow apart but even come to hate eachother. Especially my mother, but my mom is such a good person all the way through that I can’t help but understand and agree with her about a lot of things (about my dad). I’ve been lost for years as to what to do, what to say, how to behave around him and it’s gotten so ugly so many times, at this point our relationship with him is just destroyed. Not saying that’s the case with your father, to be clear, but I’ve struggled with coming to terms about some things. You’ve shown me that I can still tell my dad I love him but that I’m beyond disappointed in him. Unconditional love is self-explanatory, as hard as it can sometimes be. I don’t want to carry around this grudge in my heart against my dad, he doesn’t have much time left, I imagine. It is so important to me to be able to tell him that I still love him but that I’m also so disappointed in him as well. It doesn’t have to be one way or the other. You’ve helped me profoundly in learning how to deal with my anger towards him and how to find peace with it. I do love my father, dearly, and I also am deeply hurt by him. That doesn’t change the fact that I want the best for him, I want him to reconcile and make amends with the time he does have. Thank you, Mr. Franzese. You’ve gained a life-long fan (and subscriber) out of this Irishman. 🙏🙏🙏 but seriously, thank you. You don’t even know how much you’ve helped me just by sharing your own experience.

I'm rebuilding my life starting from scratch, driving a taxi to build up my music studio . After many great struggles I have found a piece of paradise in a very beautiful tropical part of Australia. You have taught me a lot about how one must handle themselves. It has helped me a lot, it has also helped me see my mistakes of the past and allowed me to learn from them. I am apply what I've learnt to my life with great success. I am most deeply grateful, I also love the way you tell a great story with lots of wisdom :)

Hello Michael! My name is ryan wojton, good luck with pronouncing my last name the j is silent. Polish and Irish lol I'm 29 almost 30 I'll b 30 in july! But I'm a cancer survivor and a recovering heroin addict. I lived on the streets for years, lost alota freinds, and had 2 distance myself from everything and everyone in that life. I live alone work a construction job, but when I come home I dont have cable yet so I watch youtube. Mostly outdoors things but man when i found your channel I listened to what you say. I've always been a quiet person, I listen Mike and you have so much wisdom not just from your surroundings and life, but because you speak from the heart! Thank you for what you do and know you are making an impact on my life. Thank you brother keep it up!
