Of all the tough guys Michael met in the mob it was a crazy woman that gave him the creeps. A lot of guys can relate.

The best content in the genre - there’s a reason he’s free and alive = wisdom

Incredible story Michael! The Feds are even more corrupt today.

Just got home from work in a sunny Scotland,poured a glass of wine and a story from Michael perfect timing!

I miss my dad Michael I've got some happy memories It must have been so hard to miss out on all that time without him It's a lesson to make sure that your own children don't feel the same pain

Mike I gotta say. It's so fascinating hearing all these stories about the Mob life. Every video you do my ears are wide open listening to everything. Thank you for these videos. Best wishes and to your continued success.

That's a crazy story my friend. I had a girl throw a knife at me once when I was younger. It stuck in the wall about 2 feet from my head. I looked at her like she was crazy, because she was. She laughed. I mean, broads can be truly nuts. The kicker, she did it for fun I think, she wasn't even upset.

Glad you are hear to tell your stories and words, many who have been in your shoes cannot. We are blessed, for the gift.

I'd say the guy who first mentioned the woman at the bar next to Pizzeria, it was no coincidence, he did it on purpose, he intentionally hinted around the bank robbery story to catch your attention because that woman Elenor had already asked him to do so in order to get in touch with you.

Mr. Franzese your content is the realest on KZfaq. You are one of the very few role models left in this fkd up world 🙏🏻

I always love hearing stories about your father’s case Mr Franzese.

Hi Michael! I hope that all is well. You are a storyteller par excellence. I am shocked by her conduct; I can’t even imagine your stress levels! Have a great week 😊

I feel like there's a story behind how Michael got that pizza joint lol. Another entertaining story Michael. Thank you for sharing your past life with us.

Why I respect Michael and find he was acquired a wisdom and classiness few have, is because he doesn't smash an entire life/reality just because he is no longer part of it. He resonates and proves that there is good and bad everywhere and that there is "good in the bad, and bad in good, the bad in the bad, and the good in the good". Michael teaches how to create light in the darkness or realize the light that's already there, and also how to call out the b.s, and the ability to unify forces of good and justice from every corner of this storyboard.

Another great story, enjoy these a lot. If I can ask Michael, could you give us a story about dealing with guys from other families on the street during your golden years in the mob? Would love to hear a story about that, cheers from New Zealand 🙏

Love these stories Michael. It's just mind boggling that the FBI could get away with framing people. And then have a judge disregard solid evidence that put the conviction of your dad on thin ice. God Bless and be safe Michael!

I can’t explain but every time I watch and listen to you tell a story I get such a good feeling inside, you are one of a kind and God bless you as well my friend!:)....

A good speaker, explains things well. Never boring.

Total respect to you Michael for handling your self in this situation. As you were telling us the story, it hit me that Her twisted prehistory with life, family, and men were making her feel at odds with you being a "stand up Guy". You stayed the course and did what you had to do, because this poor mess of a woman was directly tied up to a huge piece of your Dad's case. You chose wisely in not wearing the wire...😅, Praise God! Like the saying goes, "Hell has no wrath like a Woman scorned". She was pretty fired up. As Christians, we know that God gives us the knowledge, when we need it, to handle the trials and tribulations as they arrive. He knows our path, and lays down the tools. It's up to us to pick them up and use them, even under great stress. Thanks for telling us about this time in your life. It's great! God bless you and your family!

Anybody else sit here and listen to the way Michael tells a story and you feel like your sitting in the room watching this unfold

Man Michael you’re a man of honor and true discipline . You’re father couldn’t have been a bad man if he raised you to be such a man’s man at a young age . You never messed with drugs or any bullshir cause you were wise and you listened. Unlike myself I have to fail myself to learn. Too smart for my own good sometimes . I think I know better than anyone! Man! God bless and you’ve helped me get better in life and I’m doing better and better the more I listen to men like you on here.

Michael, thank you for a great sit down. God bless you and your family.

I don't think I've ever subscribed to anything on KZfaq yet till you came along and it's only cause you seem like a very nice person and you show how to reform yourself

A 20 year old Michael babysitting some crazy woman and her 12 year old sounds like a tv show I need in my life lmao😂

I love listening to you! Bucket list is to see you live someday! Thank you, Michael! God continue to bless you ~ 💞

I could listen to this man talk all day.

Mr. Franzese is the Man. By far one of my favourite Mob Guy's. Sending an abbraccio from morocco 👍🤝

Great content Mr Mike as always.. Keep doing what you're doing best.. God bless you and your family.

I wish I could love my dad as much as you love your dad.

Michael love your videos, I could feel your honesty and your sincere episodes. A Real Stand Up Guy.

Im currently living in Sweden and so excited to hear about you visiting in february! Will definetely keep that in mind so I can have the chance of a sit down with the inspiring and great Mr. Michael Franzese Andiamooooo!!! Many Blessings

Great story. I remember playing handball with your dad in Otisville in 98/99. Good man. Solid. 🙏 rip

Michael is a stand-up guy, even with the toxicity of being around this person, he still protected her. I can respect that.

Michael has the best stories

Btw, quick note to the producers of the channel. Michael does up to 2 minutes of promotions before each video. Which is why I fast forward immediately on each video and never pay attention nor hear the any of the ads. Love the videos and his content!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Omg, Michael, that’s a movie right there!! 🎥 🍿 plus, a story we haven’t heard. Wow! I played that whole scenario in my head. The things we do for family!! Amazing. I’d say you received the best lesson about a woman's capabilities at the ripe young age of 20 yrs old! Holy moly! 🫣👊🏼god bless you; you made it out in one piece. I have to ask, was she as scary as some of the dangerous men you’ve been in situations with? Wow. Good story. It upsets me knowing here you had a smoking gun. Literally, and our 🎉justice system showed no justice!!! It’s appalling. Even with that colossal article, no one could or would challenge the fed's twisted narrative. It’s terrifying and so wrong. We can only pray for God’s protection in those circumstances. That’s the only way. I pray one day, they will finally be held accountable for their actions. It just feels so hopeless. I enjoyed your story. So sorry you had to experience it tho. I like to think God gave you an angel for a wife for having gone thru that, that’s for sure! 😂😂 ❤-Sheri Ann

Michael we love you ( we are our brothers in Christ) thank you for your time it's always a learning experience I'm sure everyone learns something new when listening to you - like you said when you meet someone new you'll never know when he can come in handy

Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences, Michael. Hope you can come to Australia one day. Bless 😊

Michael, although I don't know you, I'm so proud and pleased for you. How you came from one life, turned it around, and became so motivational and important to others, god bless

Hey Mr. Mike what do your tattoos say or mean on your arms. Thanks I respect what you stand for. By the grace of God I have been sober for 29yrs. And I know that God loves ME also.

Michael the final part of the story, I can’t help but cry with laughter. The way you tell It. Brilliant 😂

Great story definitely need more videos like his. Young Micheal stories of still running around on the street are #1

can't get enough of these videos

Michael. You rock and roll. Then and now. 🌹

Hey michael I’ve been following you even before you started this channel and I have to say honestly you have a very positive influence in my life and I’m extremely grateful to you even though you don’t know me personally. At some of my darkest times when things felt totally hopeless and I felt so depressed I just didn’t care about anything - it seemed to be those days where your personality just really shone through not a gangster, not a racketeer, not a Christian but a man who isn’t perfect but tries his best to lift up his fellow men and women and in my eyes that’s the measure of a true leader 🤍.. and happy bday yours is one day before mine on may 28 (gemini is great sign 😉) and I hope you had a great bday with the family brother god bless & thankyou 🙌🏼🙏🏻🇮🇹🍾

This man used to be a wise guy. Now he’s a wise guy! Great stuff.

Great post Michael as usual. God bless you and your family.

All I know, is I could listen to your stories for hours ❤

Hi Micheal. Love listening to your stories. I live in Wyoming and was wondering if you might have any stories about things that might have happened in smaller states?

Franzese. You know, this is off topic, but it is something I think noteworthy about this guy. I am 53. I am aging. It happens to every survivor, but I work hard to make sure I age well. Guys like this are an inspiration in that pursuit. As a young man, Franzese was talented and successful. He worked within the world he had, and he outperformed everyone else. I respect that. I did that too. But this is not about that. No, this post is about the way the man presents himself to the world. I was around, I saw him on the news back in the day. His appearance and his aura just did not match his god given talent. But with some extra years to work with, he has fixed that. He was an outright goofy looking kid. If you knew who he was you'd have respected him. But f you saw him and had no clue who he was, you'd have taken him for just another goofball kid and not taken him seriously at all. But now... This man is better looking at 70 + than he was at 30. That's a fact. But it is about more than that. It is the ay he carries himself, the way he projects who he is to those around him, the way he is certain of his ground and the confidence needed for a man to live n honesty about himself, both in the things he is proud of and the things he would like to have done better. No insecure man can ever be self deprecating and that is a part of the whole package of "it" that very few men possess. If my words are failing to express the meaning of the it... then just think of Sinatra. Sinatra was the undisputed champion of "it." Men, you have an opportunity that only men have. Women cannot get better with age. I am sorry, but that is just a fact. They have to be of deep substance when they are younger, because if they wait and develop substance with age, no one will be looking by the time they get it. But men...men...put it this way: I was a better looking young guy than Franzese. But now that am in my 50s and he is n his 70s...hell man, I am just trying to catch up to him. Men, you and you alone have a choice that women would kill for. As a man taking care to ensure I age well, I urge all of you to choose wisely. We all get old. But giving up halfway through, and going through your later years fat, grey, sloppy and unkempt...because you dd give up...friends, that is no way to live. That is wasting half of your life. Take care of yourselves. Stay fit, wash that grey out of your heads (most of you, some men can pull it off) and most importantly USE your life experience by making sure you project it in your aura as you age. Do as much, and the world is yours. Slainte

Unbelievable story Michael. Your dad got a raw deal. Thanks for sharing that . What a crazy woman. It's amazing you're still alive.

We need this story in the tv series about you.

Why do I enjoy watching this channel? I can see the handy work of God in Michael's life. Not that I need any proof that our Savior is who he says he is, but it's joyful to know and witness the taming of a young lion and turning him into a loving man, as Jesus wants us to be. It's heart warming to say the least. Thank you Michael for sharing these stories with us.

You be safe too. Love your podcasts and your wisdom and truth. 🙏

I was also in prison.2 years out of 6 years in belgium.kept calm.had a bad fight in prison.3 men.i got out with minor injuries.never consulted anyone.never

Talk about crazy … 😳😨 It’s incredible how you continue to share bits and pieces of your life with us. Appreciate it so very much.

Dude I’ve been watching your content for years and that story is wild..I think you can write a book about just your experiences with that woman..Wow

Hi michael,hope you are keeping well,another great video,from uk. 👍👍

Michael you have some interesting stories. Chaz is great actor and also has stories of interest. I’m definitely hooked on your show.

Always enjoy your life stories, keep up the good work, and God bless

Michael- My Man! What a crazy experience! I love your life story, one of the few who could live that life and come out on the other side alive and redeemed. Gods hand was and is on your life. I don’t know how people could live in that life with all the chameleons. I would’ve loved to hear about your path as a physician and all of the people you could’ve helped in that capacity. You have a great bedside manner. Success! Love your content! I watch and listen regularly. 👊🏻

Crazy world and getting crazier with each passing day

Lol not gonna lie this sounds like a crazy set of missions straight out of GTA, geeat story man.

This Crazy World Can pull the personal strings tight sometimes Enjoyed hearing the story Michael

If you're ever in Belgium, we'll talk. I have a lot of respect for you. My father was also a wise man

I’ve heard you speak briefly about this lady . I have a few of those lead crystal ashtrays. They’re lethal. I heard your dad mention this woman and he said he never hated her but she wanted what your mom had. I also heard Mr. Topal ‘s wife speak on how hard your mom fought to get your Dad out and he believed your Dad was framed. She said your mom referred to him as her Moses..Eleanor sounds like a real lady 🤣🤣.. Glad she missed you w that ashtray . Thanks for that story. God bless

I will always have so much respect for this guy. Met him only once. HE is La Cosa Nostra

Michael always spitting wisdom, that’s why love this guy.

Great true story Michael amazing what u put Yourself through I'm glad your alright now

Thanks for sharing all your experiences with us.

Michael, you are an inspiration ❤

Truth is crazier than fiction, the departed loved ones are with us ❤

Michael , the first time I heard you speak publicly it was on the Jim Rome radio program. Many years ago. Can you do a podcast on Organized Crime’s involvement in illegal sports wagering. Please discuss both taking bets and fixing games. Thanks. God Bless….Paul

As interesting as your former life is I think your new life in Christ is even more interesting. It's an inspiration to hear you profess the faith and the message of the gospel and how it has changed you. We are the proof of God and Christ. God bless you!

What a crazy story , you're such a good storyteller . Thank god you didn't wear a wire .

I'm from Vancouver BC🇨🇦 me and all my pals love ya up here your a stand up guy who is very intelligent. I look up too you sir, I've been very sick battling lymphoma cancer and listening to your podcast has been inspiring. I turned to God when I woke up from coma and when they took me off the ventilator I started reading tbe Bible one of the nurses gave me. Had a really rough life I have no family left. Never had any guidance in life I grew up on the streets and wana right a book before I die so any advice I could get please help me if you can. God bless Mr Franzese🙏🏻

I am very pleased to see Franzes get his life together. He didnt do it alone he was saved by Jesus sending guardian angels. I feel he has christs fingerprints all over him and its such a pleasure seeing him share his testimony and story. Class act and a good man. Great job Michael I can relate to some of your story/life, except I was a little guy.

Wow that story is insane! God bless you for trying desperately to help your Dad !

You have great intuition and the ability to not only think on your feet but also read people. They just wanted your pops locked up regardless. Totally unacceptable for our government.

I would like to meet Mike oneday…seems like a great guy and I watch all his interviews💪🏾💯

Crazy experience. The things we do for our loved ones. 😊 I watched you on the news, etc .... Early 80s, late 70s. You walked from car to courthouses, then courthouse to car. Long time ago.

Mike, you were being too nice to that lady. She's lucky.

That store was awesome!!!! I went for a wal and put that on and I was hooked from the start to the end. Keep em coming.

Michael you’ve got to come to Norway. We love you here and we don’t get guys like you visiting us often. We will be delighted to have you in Oslo and Bergen. Please let me know if I can arrange certain things to impress you about our country. July, August and September are great months to visit, however, the snow periods are also great with fantastic views. Speaking to us here will be wonderful.

Great video, like that honesty. God bless 🙏👌

That Eleanor sounds like one of the craziest broads this side of the Mississippi! Love your stories and your political and cultural commentary, Mike, thank you for doing what you do👍✝️

jeez the stuff you had to go threw as teenager and young adult tryimg to save your dad is crazy

Hello Micheal. It is a Great relief that you survived that like AND all of the turmoils that you faced. I can’t even imagine what You had to go through on a Daily basis. I have throughly enjoyed watching your series for some time and will very much continue to do so. My question is thus: Do you have plans upon interviewing Frank Serpico? Many thanks for your honest time, Jason Black. (JB).

Wow, no kidding lol, the things we do for love. If this was portrait on the silver screen without a doubt It would be a blockbuster

Keep up the great content Michael!

As a reformed man-I also believe it was Gods will that brought me back to a better lived life.After a life time of arrogance and foolish choices that lead me to a world of pain and suffering,I became humbled and submitted to God’s power.Without the almighty I would of ended my life.

I feel like this should be a book all on it's own. Would buy it

Michael, hopefully one day you can talk about organized crime in Saint Louis, MO. Definitely not as notorious as the bigger cities but they had stretches from the days of prohibition to the 80s. I read about Jimmy Michaels getting blown up in his car. Also, have you ever been to The Hill in Saint Louis? One of the last Little Italy neighborhoods in the United States

Michael, you really but the bullet that time to help your dad. I’ve been around a few crazies like that in my life but this lady was definitely insane. Would love to hear about how and when you ended the relationship. Seems like that would have been difficult.

FASCINATING! MORE GOLD, BROTHER MIKE.

They should make this man a documentary

I remember part of this story, incredibly crazy-ass woman. Thanks Michael.

Mr. Franzese: I know that you know your father was framed, for what ever reason, but it sounds like he was being punished for his reputation than really a crime. It's wonderful that you were able to have a relationship with your father in his final years. Sorry you had to be away from your father for all of the years he was being punished for. Hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend. God bless you and your family.

G'day mate .. once again another great yarn .... will be looking forward to whenever you will pop down under for a visit ..

Keep up the good content Don Michael !!! Much love !!
