"You'd be surprised what you can do if you don't have a choice"...so true
Would be a good t-shirt.

I was a prison guard for 29+ years. What this man says is very accurate. Itâs ALWAYS about respect!
Man there were probably guys that went to prison before you started and were still there when you left
Interesting since every one of them is in Prison.
You have spent More Time in jail than most inmates. Respect
@Bernie lomaxs Mustache I did 27+ in Michigan and 2 + in Wisconsin. 20 and out is not an option in Michigan ask around and get your facts straight before accusing me of lying!!!
HATERS GONNA HATE!!!! I got my paperwork to prove it!!!!
I love how mike never glamorizes prison life of mob life. All respect my good brotha, god bless you
Prisoner: âI gotta shank you for my gangâ
Michael: âdonât pull that stuff with meâ
Prisoner: âok, have a good one.â
classic.
Good improvising đ
@Gergo Csanda đ thatâs how heâs getting the good ending!
You still love the life if they welcomed you back you'd embrace the life again. Regards Eire32
Prisons and Hospitals are two places everyone should work hard to avoid, be smart, be healthy!
Sometimes hospitals are unavoidable, prison is totally unavoidable
@@DonaldGerbino prison is totally unavoidable?
If your involved in organised crime you risk ending up in hospital and prison.
Agreed
I find myself eating more salads here lately
I could listen to this man for hours
Easily
I listen to him every night
Should have picked acting when his dad was in trouble with the law. I don't mean that in a snide way either, talks well and has the look. Some of the more charasmatic kids from those areas go the acting rout and make more than the mobsters without doing jail.
ok blue checkmark
take that back
He is the only person who would say something like â he got 40 years for a drug case, really a good guyâ

Try to avoid prison, solid advice.
as solid as it can be

Unfortunately I know people who go in every winter, they do a few months make a fortune selling drugs and come back out for the summer.
Not much of a life and shows what a joke the UK prison service is.
You have no idea what the actual world is. Millions of people are born and die in abject poverty every day. Crime is often the only possible way to make enough to live. Because we live in a world where corporations tell us how much human lives are worth. Even though you cannot put a price on a human life.
@@jizzmonkey9679 You've obviously never done time in the US. We still push chain gangs and have them break rocks and execute people without due process. UK prison is fairy dream summer camp bullshit. Top a couple blokes in the loo, wash it down with a pint, and grow the fuck up.
Michael - It was the best prison. Girls would give us a peek.
Michael's Wife - Let's have a sit down Mike.
I was waiting for someone to grab that thread!

You go in that room, you might not come out again!

Kudos to you Mr. Franzese for trying to encourage people to walk a straight path. Your videos are very well done. Thank you.
I remember going to visit grandpa at âworkâ and being so puzzled at all the barbed wire! Always got amazing jewelry boxes from him for holidays đ
Iâm at the Liverpool womenâs hospital with my girlfriend sheâs having our daughter. Been here 9 hours probably be here till tomorrow. Itâs also mob Monday I never miss a video
Congratulations

Lmao!
Why does that remind me of "Rabbit Season/Duck Season?"
Lets get stabby flabby ( does Louise Belcher voice) đđđ
Frank Pendlebury I almost fell out of the recliner when he said that đđđ
Unlike a lot of youtube personalities, Michael legitimately EARNS his likes. If not with the stories than with his message at the end!
And the dislikes???? Huh?????đđđđ
@@lizabethgussman331 dont understand themâŠ.
When I was 16 I was in juvenile jail, and we went to do a type of "scared straight" thing at a federal prison just north of Phoenix. Each of us was sat down with an adult inmate to get advice or whatever.
I was sat with Rosario Gambino. He was super nice. He didn't try and talk down to me Told me it's all bullshit, about how the guy on the other side room got 1/4 of the sentence he did and had been caught with. 50x more drugs.
I'm really into soccer, so we spent most of the time talking about that. He told me about the games they organized inside. When it was time to leave, all the other kids got handshakes from the inmates they talked to. I got a hug.
I love a feel good jail story.
Guys get threatened with rape. Literal state funded accosting of minors. They are too scared to do that to girls . As always girls get treated different.
@@RandomGuy-jo8ky Actually it happens to women and girls a lot. The reason it never hits the newspapers is that it's the female guards doing it, and that does not fit with the F$%inism narrative.
@@gordonlawrence1448 I appreciate your perspective on it Sir. It has always bugged me how they can be open air bragging about sexual accosting minors and not punished for it. Even the state officials (yes the Judges and cops) should legally become registered sex offenders since they are accomplices to accosting of minors and even threats of rape. But instead society APPLAUDS IT and makes it VERY clear that the kids DESERVE to be accosted/threatened and yes even DESERERVE to be forced down and raped against their will with all that comes with it to "teach them a lesson" (for being disrespectful in court and skipping school or whatever that earned them the need to be raped). Then those kids come back into society and spread those STD's and have PTSD forever, but at least the Judge feels better while looking at himself naked in the mirror at night I guess. (rant over). Thank you for this content though, you do good work Sir.
@Random Guy Rosario gambino is a bloke
"..Mob Guys.. we had a little bit of a reputation in there!.." Lol. Love how humble Mike is.. no need to brag & flex about how tough u are when your really about that. A real true Gangster & stand up dude.
Gotti's reputation (who was most certainly a killer) didn't do much for him with the AB. It's not the 60s, 70s etc anymore...
They extorted him, and when he thought he didn't need to pay anymore as he had enough of his own guys in there, they beat his ass. Real life isn't HBO's Oz, and the AB isn't dwerps like Schillinger getting beat up by some manslaughtering DUI lawyer, who used to hold his pocket, or by some overweight mob guys who mostly do not look like Pancamo/Chuck Zito...
Then again Michael was in Club Fed (a pun, since there are these holiday resorts called "Club Med" around the Mediterranean), not in a place like Marion...
Edit it again. It can be much better
This guy has the best intro song on CZcams. Beat is siiiick
Youâre garbages son.
Yep it's the best and matches his style. I'd drink his whiskey for sure đđ
Your sick in the head you clown!
I was thinking the same thing. Once the song comes on you can't pick another video. The song and every story following it is a package deal. Sick beat.
Yeah, I was thinking the same also. With bumper music like that It immediately made me question whether he was self producing the show in his basement or if it was a professionsl production.
This is probably a top ten channel on CZcams. Mr. Franzese is one of the best story tellers Iâve ever heard. Thanks from NJ.
It was the sit down with Sammy the bull for me. The way you sat there and allowed him to speak regardless of what he said you allowed him to finish his thought completely before you responded.. like I don't know if people know how hard that is but it made me wanna learn more about you now I'm just trying to learn how to do what you did.
you just listen and be patient, not rocket science
@@yourmum69_420 ctfuuuu that's not easy for everyone and the way you said that came off very offensive.
@@sexxyjayjackson26 just calm tf down
Literally just chill out and keep your mouth shut. It's so easy.
@@HydraBill57 to u maybe but make sure you are only speaking for you. It's so easy for you
I find it oddly humorous that I'm 58 years old, never been inside a prison, and yet admire someone who's "been arrested 17 or 18 times" and spent most of his life either visiting prison or incarcerated in prison. To me, that shows just how far @MichaelFranzese has transformed himself.
@dylan zrim you think heâs still âkicking upâ?
@dylan zrim I think you are 100% incorrect.
@dylan zrim who is paying it to? his mob friends? i don't think they have that kind of power over the federal justice system anymore. if you mean he's paying off the justice system.... i don't even know what to say then
@dylan zrim ainât no way a 70 something year old ex-captain is going to be kicking up money to anyone, thereâs no one left for him to kick up to
@@deejin25 he never killed anybody lol. Heâs a good guy but he cooperated thatâs why heâs talking. Kick up to who đđđ
69 years old and looking about 45. with a great and intresting ( and probably often stressful former life)
well done mate... respect
âlooking about 45â? I think NOT.
You must know some rough looking 45 year olds lol
His dad lived to be 103. Dudes got some good genes
@Richard Milliken This dude must know alot of Meth heads
I would say he looks 10 years younger
Michael has that awesome way of telling his stories. With a little research, info avaliable online, you can see that these stories and references are truth. He is very disciplined and honorable. Seems to be a great guy. I watch him alot. Thanks Michael!
"I had a little bit of a reputation in there"... I just love Michael's rhetorics and the all around mastery of wiseguys using euphemisms.
Michael Franzese is a national treasure. His stories and life lessons are greatly appreciated
@Sad Sack if you don't mind my asking, " Why are you watching, if you think that"?. No offence by the way, I'm just curious. Have a nice day.
@Sad Sack i apologise that i didn't ask this in my first comment but you seem to be religious yourself, do you not believe Michael to be sincere?.
I agree with some of what you wrote, but don't think he glorifies it. He says it's a dead end life with no future.
@Sad Sack what has this got to do with the thread?
Yea tell that to the people he killed family.
love listening to your videos boss. Appreciate you always responding to me on Twitter back in the day!
Bro. I did NOT expect you to be here.
Right ? Love your vids to bud keep up the good work
Wtff

Same here but in instagram he would even reply to private messages
You have my utmost respect Michael. It takes a lot of courage, self awareness, and determination to completely make a 180° turn in life. And you maintained your principles the whole way. Merry Christmas to you and your family sir.
Because he was never aiming to be in the life at first but he did it to help his father heâs a loyal guy
I too spent 8 years behind the wall. State. I had a scam on long island. Mostly Nassau co. It was a check scam with all the 7/11s and some dairy barns. That being said it's no life. Always looking behind you always thinking is today my last on this run. Today I live in upstate NY, been out since 2004. Never looked back.
Michael, thank you for your talks and what you do through Christ.
I was doing doordash last week and 7/11 was being robbed as i walked in.haha was 8 people in there and nobody knew what was going on.
Good for you brother. Keep it up and good luck.
God is good.
This guys voice is like the Morgan Freeman of Italians
OMG yes!!!
Italians??? He can't even pronounce his surname ffs. He's no Italian.
@@recruitmentch you must be from Italy
@@CMM726 yes
@@recruitmentch typical. Ever been to America?
I died when he said "sometimes they'd give you a little peek" lol love the stories Mr. Franzese
This guy is on point, I worked Corrections for a LONG time and he's right on the money about it, thank you Michael for this! All inmates are not bad guys at all, some of which you'd wanna kick-it with'em because they're just good guys and one more thing; quit thinking prisons are full of dumb people or un-talented individuals, some of the most brilliant freak'n people are in prison and it's sad as hell. The last thing i'll say is I hated working with those jack-ass co-workers/officers who were blatantly messing with inmates for EVERY PETTY issue, on that "gun and badge power trip". etc. Yes they exist and no decent officer wants to work with a fool. Again, thank you for this and other really good videos.
Love how this man has matured and is trying in his way to give back. Some honest humility coming through-
Michael Franzese merch???? YES PLEASE
How to get the Re-made necklace ??
If a man's way is pleasing to the lord even his enemies are at peace with him . I love that verse god bless everyone today đ
Thank you đđŸ
The Lord uses various people to work in his Vinyard
Please leave god out of this
That's disgusting. Killers are killers and deserve to die
Iâm going to read the bible!
Michael, you are much more than made/re-made person! Much admiration and respect on what you are and do now!!! Tons! Thank you...
@9:50 Imagine what the look was on the inmate's face when he realized he just sucker punched a mob boss! đ€Ł
29 months and 7 days in solitary can Crack a person up. Like Michael said, "we are social creatures and not made to be away from other people"
I'd prefer it
I think I have watched every interview heâs done in less than a three day span. Heâs so captivating ...
Me too!
And handsomeâŠlol
I've been bingeing for two days lol
Omg ur beautifulđđđđ
Youâve just got yourself another subscriber, your stories are always very interesting and youâve turned your life around. I have only total respect for you being able to do that. Regards Marc from Liverpool. đđŒ
I love your videos. You tell great mob stories, but not in a bragging way, but more as a cautionary tale, and promote positive behavior. I have just subscribed and am looking forward to mob Monday!
In prison.. you use a razor blade to slice the garlic really thin. That way.. it disappears in the sauce.
Hahahahahhaha nice Goodfellas reference
Don't put too many onions
lol
I didn't put too many onions
it's a really good system
You know you are in a bad situation, when the best thing you have to look forward to is possibly getting flashed on a Saturday afternoon.
The other 6 days is strictly hands on đ
shit, sounds better than the majority of my Saturday after noons. And I'm "free".
Loved the closing remarks about prison reform, super important, love that youâre so socially conscious
I like how youâre trying to help people, keep doing what you do. Love these videos.
Would love to hear your stories with the Russian, Chinese mafia etc
Michael people from the steerts of Dublin are listening to your videos everyday pal turing their lives around. Renegades is a perfect description. Anyone on here listening and watching to this is in with a chance. Keep it lit, stay blessed to all the 'remaid mob'.
My dad fought in Korea then came home and was a guard at a maximum security prison. Prison changes everyone including the families
I just found this channel and he makes me so hopeful that all the rotten things I've done can be left behind. I have the love and respect of my family nowadays but the past is hard to let go.
Hold onto this fact, itâs never too late to be saved.. to be forgiven, stay on the path and stay true and youâll be okayđ
I donât know much about prison, but I knew enough to stay out of prison.
My brother has been jail since was 17 he is 29 .he has never had a positive MALE role model in his life. .never knew his dad .ect .I wish he could have a Michael in his life .but he has been locked up since such a young age its probably to late but I'll never give up on him .
Fack Michael . Respekt to you att du never give Up yuor brother.
It's a wrap unless he builds his own business hes just where America wants him to be
Michael is nothing but a dirt bag who was smart enough to use god as his money maker now.
@@robbyrobinson4500 ok wise guy, oh wait. đ€Ł
Hey man, your brother has one person not giving up on him. A brother no less. Thats no small thing
Love the music on opening and ending of each program, its priceless and fits perfectly.
I don't know Michael but have watched and thoroughly enjoyed every video he's been in. He seems so genuine and likeable - a guy I would trust in just about any situation.
I love listening to his stories! So happy he made it out and lives to tell about it!
Regardless of how bad my day was, listening to Mr Michael speak, puts a smile on my faceđđthank you Sir
Been watching this channel for a few months and have finally decided to subscribe. Great channel. great stories, but always something positive in it. So, you sir have my subscription and my support
Love the intro music, always good listening to you Michael thanks so much for all the inside you provide us with
"Remade"
I love it, man.
Been waiting all day for mob movie/story Monday, love thus channel
Michael,
I just found your stuff here and I find it all fascinating!
Thanks for all it!
Greg
Great stories from someone genuinely linked to the mob life.. And just as great he has no ads
"DIESEL THERAPY" interesting...I worked in law enforcement, when they were mad at us we got "FREEWAY THERAPY". They'd reassign you to a facility furthest from your preferred facility or furthest from your home. Pretty much to cause us an inconvenience. Maybe even to cause people to quit, because the commute isn't worth keeping a job so far from home.
For as long as Iâve been alive Iâve been fascinated by the history of crime in America. Iâve watched all the movies and read the books, but hearing about the life from a first hand source is simply amazing. Thank you for running this channel sir, God Bless.
Mr. Franzese, I have never heard any of your stories that were boring or unbelievable, thank you for all the facts that you share, it's such a pleasure to listen to someone who can be trusted. God Bless you and all your family.
Mr, Franzese, your stories never cease to fascinate. It would seem like a sign of affirmation, to learn from a person who is reformed & put what one has learned into practice. As always, a lot of good points. Appreciate you sharing, always. God bless!
"medium rare" hmmm an aristocrat
Stunk up the joint something awful and the hacks used to die
Did you read that in the papers, in the papers ?
"Tomorrow, we eat sandwiches. You gotta go on a diet, Vinnie"
"Now we can eat"..
"Veal,beef and Pork" you got to have the Pork - Ahhh that's the flavour!
Hell yeah, Michael. Prison Reform. I respect you even more now.
I always love watching your videos Mike. God bless you and your family.
Michael, you sir are an amazing speaker! Iâm fascinated with your stories you share, but your eloquence is superb!
âWhen it comes to prison life I am an expert.... I donât advice anybody else to become oneâ
Michael I know you did not mean to be funny! But sometimes, myself included, we say things that are not meant to be funny but really are knee slappers!
God bless you for your change of heart!
Forgive me but you made me laugh so hard it changed my entire mood! Good luck with your CZcams channel Michael!
We need more people like you on the right side of God than the wrong side!
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
Michael, your stories are sensational! Whoever plays you in a movie better bring everything they have into the performance! Amazing life!
Mad to think to think the best advice you can ever get came from a former mob boss đ. Honestly the stuff you come out with man really flicks multiple switches in me. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Much thanks, Michael. You help me get through my days. God bless.
One of the best CZcams channels. Not sure how old Michael is, but full of vitality. A long life like his father I bet.
I can't imagine 29months in solitary, I did 15 days and I was going nuts, with no phone, books etc even the screws wouldn't talk to me when they brought "food"!!!
Someone once told me that most people don't listen to hear they listen to respond. Thanks to that interview I finally understand what they were trying to tell me. Thanks for that.
No matter what Mr. Franzese was back in the day, and is today, there is no question that he is a fantastic relator of stories and a first rate narrator.
Vinnie donât put too many onions in the tomato sauce

Love your stories. Theyâre inspiring.
BEST quote I ever heard about prison. " doing the time is the easy part, they make you "
âThis is the brains on this guyâ đ€Łđ€Ł thatâs a great storyđ âif he really wants to be your friend, stab him. Donât pull that stuff on meâ đđđ
I have to say thank you for what you're doing! Means a lot to a whole bunch of people. Because you're taking all the negative and turning it around into a positive instead of just bombarding people with negative negative negative
Your speaking ability and over all charisma, have me hooked on every line. Your stories are simply fascinating, it's easy to see how you were successful as a made guy, and have found success afterwards.
Michael, for me, the fascination with knowing about Prison is that it's a world I'll never see, but have heard a lot about, and hearing it from someone who's Been there, and whose word I trust, gives me true & real insight into this world. A world full of craziness and horror.
You do a wonderful job of painting a picture so clear, I can almost see it in mind's eye. Amazing!
Love you Mike. Hope everything is going well for you and your family.
The very end of your video, what you said there is exactly why I wanted to see you and Larry Lawton do a video collab. Canât wait to see it!!! Heâs a bit more rough around the edges but he tells it like it is just like you do. Your fans are gonna break the internet when that video comes out lol thereâs a lot of us that canât wait to see yâall talk.
He is such a great story teller. His voice and the delivery is very calm, sincere and convincing. I mean, this is definitely someone that I'll spend my time listening to whatever he wants to say. I wonder if he's like this in his younger age.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with everyone, in a way it has helped me a lot. A big hug
I started crying of laughter when he talked about the girls on the boats that passed by terminal island HAHAHAHAHA
@Slick Rock A tarp on the fence, really? Booo! BOOO!!!! Lame
When he said the guards enjoyed it I lost it
"You wanna do this (diesel time) or you wanna go home?" Good one!
Thanks again Michael..as always a pleasure...
Thanks for the insight Michael. You do a lot of good for a lot of people.
Mr Franzese, You need a TV show---Sir I could listen to you speak allll day---Stay Safe
I work on the docks of Terminal island. Right across from the prison. I always wondered what went on in there. Thanks for the stories Michael.
I like hearing your stories, and getting to know your personality. You've changed my preconceived notion of what a mob guy would be like. Really enjoy your content. Thanks Michael for putting this out there.
Thank you Michael. Your faith speaks volume.
*"It was fun."*
- Michael Franzese talking about doing time in a federal prison
I can see it. I did time in a mental facility and it was some of the best months of my life. Different things, but believe me, when you're trapped in a place with strangers and guards isolated from your family and potentially in danger your brain adapts and you find ways to enjoy the little things. Get a new appreciation for life.
God bless you brother, and your awesome videos!! I look up to guys like you who speak about there past.
The positivity in this video got my heart and my subscription.
Wow !!!
Looking forward to seeing your collab with Larry Lawton, another ex-con who is a prison reform advocate and does similar work to you. Love watching both your channels, can sit and listen to you both for hours. So inspirational. Must be a New York thing.
