I wish Guilliani would’ve went to the sit down former mayor should give you your money back his part was somewhat obsolete and in my eyes brought no value to the show !
40 bucks to watch it????? I'll pass.
@@davidfelix2594 it's worth it, I bought it week early with the early access, there is stories you'll never hear but only on there, you can watch first 2 episodes for free, go check it out let me know what you think
That sharp ending “I doubt my father ever met him” 😂😂😂
Lmao yeah that one gave me a chuckle
Lol woooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I doubt my father ever met him” 😂
Man I love Michael. Cold.
Agree, Michael Franzese is great. Love listening to him.
Lolololol
Daddy wasn’t there.
😂😂
Basically, he was saying the guy is lying about everything
Michael: "I'm not going to make my name by knocking other people". A stand up guy. Much respect!
How to knock out a guy without practically knocking him out!! That’s intelligence 😉😉
He knocked Henry a bunch of times lol
So says nothing 🤣, basically he ain't got nothing good to say.
I knocked Maryland Monroe!
Russo and I tag teamed her and I can prove it but the pics were burnt in Jason Blaha house fire!!!
Damn you Blaha!!!! 🤌
That's how you do it I don't know him I'm not going to say anything about him can't say anything about a guy I never met.
"I doubt my father ever met him" 😂😂😂
Hilarious
Gold
hahahaha 😂😂😂
That made me laugh 😂. Michael doesn't have a lot of time for Russo 😂
Did him dirty
Michael is the definition of a true gentleman. Stands behind his statements and deeds, respectful to others, cool as ice… Great example to us younger guys on how to conduct ourselves.
Yep, agreed. I think you hit the nail on the head.
Lol, he doesn't need to tell tales on other guys because he has plenty of his own. And by being discreet and polite he gets to look better. It is like he does not need to make himself big, because he WAS big. Big enough to matter. When you are the real deal you can afford to be humble and soft-spoken.
You can afford to humble and soft-spoken at any point of your existence I believe. it's what a gentleman is. Standing behind your word and respect is just being a man. We forget these things.
Gianni Russo is the Italian Ric Flair, and it's not a lie if he believes it
he is the Italian Forest Gump
Update: I made this coment before I heard the guy in the video say it.
The problem is Gianni "sh!t talker" Russo is a big liar.
Gianni and Ric Flair look like used up cigarettes .
He is the Iron Sheik of the Italian Mob.
Gianni " Whoooooo!!!!
Flair " Man that's great can I use that for my career
Gianni " Of course you can " Whooo! Whoooooo!
-Russo with a tear in his eye explains how he gave Flair his blessing to use the infamous catchphrase.
I doubt Ric Flair lied tbh
“He spoke very highly of your father… I doubt my father ever meant him…” lmao 🤣 😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reminds me in sopranos when paulie met carmine at the party and had no clue who the fuck paulie was.
💀💀💀💀
And you can bet Russo never met Monroe , Castellano , and Escobar either . Michael knows the guy is a complete fraud .
Love that Michael chooses to not respond to certain questions. Very professional and contrasts the bravado so many people put out
Because he’s not sinking to the same levels as some of these guy’s. It’s pointless and waste of air.
Mike is a gentleman..pretty much proves he was a racketeer and definitely not a gangster. To be a gangster you need to be uneducated, ignorant, and definitely not a gentleman.
When you really lived that life you don’t feel the need to respond or even want your name in the same context with guys who didn’t.
@@johntaaustin293 exactly. Reacting and giving them attention only benefits them and he knows that
He knows what he’s doing. It’s mental warfare still. Not acknowledging or verifying one of these guys is more insulting than anything.
However, after watching 100s of hours of interviews with mob guys, the big flaw I’ve heard is how many made guys there would be in a family at a time. We’re talking in the 1000’s. That’s why so many guys got killed. They were always doing each other wrong on accident I feel. It’s highly likely that in a city as large as NYC, it would be nearly impossible to know every guy. I think some of these guys insert more well known gangsters into their stories even if they briefly met a guy maybe 1 or 2 times. It may have been a big deal for them to know Micheal and not really the other way around.
“I was actually the one who got Michael started in the gasoline and movie business. I was his inspiration. I even inspired his father’s decision to be with the Colombo family.” - Gianni Russo
Lmfao
I was expecting your username to be T.K Kirkland not gonna lie.
“Can you believe it?”
Best thing about these Gianni videos are the comment sections.
😂😂😂😂😂
"Then i said, Let there be light! and the rest is history..." Gianni Russo
under rated comment
Haha! Can you believe it?!
"Did I meet Gianni Russo when he landed on Vietnam? Yes, I did." John Alite
😂
How many tours did Gianni do? Too many I bet The US government were sick of awarding Gianni all the bravery medals he won. 🤣
Gianni, john and TK Kirkland are teammates
@@user-hi9wt7so7k yeah, it was awful when they had to award them the keys to Fort Knox.
Not even funny anymore
There have been people throughout history that have been known to be skilled at telling spectacular lies. Gianni Russo is one of those people. I mean we know they are lying but they make it so interesting that it becomes entertaining for us.
russo is the biggest bullshiter in the world. He's met nobody, he's done nothing and my prediction is that, if he keeps it up, they'll eventually find him in the trunk of a car. Which is pretty much what he deserves...
@@stevenwahl3440 Lets be honest, to be a charismatic and believable lier that people keep watching and be entertained by even tho they know he is a lier, takes a lot of Skill
Of course Gianni is lying cause everyone is dead
They need people like that to attract the heat to thdm
I think by now Mr. Russo believes what he says.... As Bob Ross the painter said "It's your own Happy World."
"...and then Neil Armstrong says to me...'How did you get up here before me?'"
- Gianni Russo
Gianni: The Wiseguys talk about me all the time
Wiseguy: Wasn't your father run over by a trolley ?
Elite Paulie carmine reference
Exactly, Very allegorical.
@@ba8898 Excellent observation
Gianni: Johnny talked to you about me?
Wiseguy: Johnny who? Gotti? Talk to me about what?
This is just one of the many examples of how the Sopranos dialogue was about as close to perfect as you can get. Of all the things Carmine could have said, that comment is just so great for so many reasons.
Michaels a straight boss. Love this guy
I'm not gonna make my name by knocking people so skips alite and goes straight after Russo. This was good.
that clown deserves to get knocked 😂😂😂
In fairness, he didn't really go after him. He simply told the truth. To any person with even the slightest ability to discern fact from fiction, Gianni Russo is "like a comedic actor." He didn't even give me the impression that he dislikes him. As it is with a lot of people, they just accept Gianni as the man who caught the fish that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. At this point, it's part of his charm.
They did sum up Gianni's life in one story though: Patrick: "He spoke very highly of your pops." Michael (totally sincerely and without hesitation): "I doubt if my father ever met him."
Probably cause he knows alite is a fraud and knows people like him (nobody's) go online and try to capitalize on other peoples names for views, talking shit for views and all that kind of stuff. Probably doesn't even wanna give him the spotlight, cause it's exactly what the alites, the raimondis, etc. do.
@@ccali327 good point
"I gave Michael Franzese a nickel for a gumball one time when I was chilling with his pops. Crazy right!? Can you believe it? Ughahaha -Gianni Russo
ay yooo 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
It's becoming old so 2019
Ey yooo Gianni
"Jesus asked me to follow him and become his disciple. I told him I couldn't do it. King Herod would have my head if I did".
-Gianni Russo
Haha! Can you believe it?!
Was waiting for a comment like this, I love it
@@unotechrih8040 I'm just waiting for someone to answer him: "You know what Gianni...No, I really can't believe it."
That's why I have so much respect for Michael Franceze 💯💯💯
This had me in tears laughing. The look on mikes face while he answers the questions about them.
Much respect to Michael for not giving energy to the responses from John Alite.
The way he responded to the Alite situation shows just how, even after everything he has done, Michael is a good man and a real uomo d'onore.
"I'll tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it, my estimation of Gianni Russo as a man just fucking plummeted."
- Phil Leotardo
"I wanted to watch a movie, so I compromised, I had Gianni Russo tell me one of his ridiculous stories."
-Shah of Iran
Gianni created radiated grilled cheese.
My man!
God bless you Philly Leotardo. Not Leonardo.
@@Reggie757 Lemme tell ya a couple a three things!
Michael is a Class act!!! His demeanor says all you need to know about John Alite.
Agree 100% He said it all by not even wanting to discuss him . Alite seems to live in a fantasy world , thinking he was more of a gangster than both Sammy and Michael . The guy wasn't even a member in their world .
Sammy seems to like Alite though is it just because alite kisses his ass? I mean is any of what alites saying real I mean was he even an associate at least. One who might of been ordered to do a couple hits even. Or is he just some neighborhood tough guy at best who at most sold some crack and beat up a couple bums.
@@nicknmm09 all the mug shots I seen of Alite he looks like he's Withdrawing & he was involved in Drugs, I think he said he was John Gotti Jr's Hitman when he was Boss says he's been n done everything even before his time? ✌️🤔
@D yes I know, he's not called John Aliar for nothing ✌️
@@nicknmm09 Sammy showed Alitr respect because when Sammy got out of the can Johnny gave him some cash.
The subtle note of dismissal when he says "I doubt my father ever met him." 😃
not so subtle..... just the classiest way of saying fuck off. or that guys Bologna
I doubt my father ever met him 😂 perfect ending
😂
You beat me to it. It's a perfect Gianni Russo story. Patrick: He spoke very highly of your pops. Michael: I doubt if my father ever met him.
I can't believe people give Alite the time of day
Alite sold crack, parked cars, and beat up a few bums… but he tells you he’s The Godfather.
@@jameswilliamw.741 alite is the only gangster
@@chrischris3922 ???
@@knickstapeee2753 jhon alite look him up on CZcams he a real one ☝️
@Anthony Botti he trolling lol
"I doubt my father ever met em"....lmfao 🤣
Michael is a real gentleman he doesn't say bad stuff about other people he's really polite he doesn't try to act tough and act like he's got something to prove. Respects to Michael
He was a capo by his own merits. He made a hundred times more money than all the people in the studio combined. He is probably worth far more than all the people in the studio combined. He has probably "done" more people than were in the studio. He has ZERO to prove to anybody. Frankly, having to talk about Alite and Russo was probably offensive to him. Wannabes and pretenders.
What Michael said about John Alite was the classiest way of saying that. When people talk about being in the life. They always have so much respect for the old timers and the way they handled things.. His comment was said just as an old timer would've said it. I say that with the up most respect.
"Utmost respect"
Hey, come on buddy… I was the one who formed the commission.
Can you believe it?! Huhuhaha 😁
How's Jennifer T???
Love the professionalism of the platform and the choice of people.
That "wut wut wut wut" got me lol.
I cannot WAIT to hear this!!!!!
All the Mob guy's say they never met Alite. His claim to fame is he hung around John Jr and then snitched on him and did his time in protective custody like the stooly he is.
Alite is much much younger than Micheal , Sammy and other mob guys. When he was with John jr, old wiseguys were in jail
@@jokedok8044 so why does he always mention John Gotti? And not John Gotti Jr he is the biggest wannabe in the history of Cosa Nostra.
@@tonycollins5195 i agree.
@@tonycollins5195 because he was hurting people for John snr through Gotti jr
If you see tapes he is around the clubs and is always with John jr and the Gotti family body guarding them.
John Alite was born in 1962 which means he was 28 years old when John Gotti Sr got arrested plus he wasn't Italian do you really think John Gotti would allow someone like that close to him I'm sorry but John Alite is a nobody.
I got in a gunfight with 3 hitmen on a mission to kill me, I took them out in my driveway, and nothing was ever said by anyone, except me in this 1 interview. Johnny Allies.
Did he talk about it in an interview… Yes he did
he bought the unused scripts from the sopranos and that became his life.
My favorite Gianni Russo story is when he said that he was at a golf club with President Clinton and was woken up by helicopters because it was 9/11 and they had to be escorted out lol
That’s it Mike !!! You out finesse everybody and love how you made JA irrelevant!!! Lots of legends in their own minds. Like your style. God Bless you.
Gianni talked very highly of your father.... pst doubt he even met him lol
I laughed at that too haha
🤣😂 🙈
Gianni is the biggest liar out of all them lol
Almost spit my coffee out when Michael said that at the end 😂
🤣🤣🤣 I died
"So there I was, putting the flag up on the moon...." -Gianni Russo
Perfect Gianni Russo Story: Patrick: He spoke very highly of your pops. Michael: I doubt my father ever met him.
“I was there in the garden of Eden when Adam ate the apple” - Gianni Russo
Can you believe it? 😂
What’s great about saying “I don’t know him, I never heard of him, we never met” is when they disappear and the cops interview you, you can plead ignorance
Gianni Russo gives TK Kirkland a run for his money🤣
This fucking great lmao 🤣 😂
The only difference is TK was actually there and there's evidence of that. I thought he was a clown, based on the yt comments, then I saw him in Snoop Dogs video with Tupac and I was like, ok, so he's for real.
Russo helped the doctor give birth to TK... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT...? lol
I don't know anything about Kirkland but Anthony Raimondi's stories make Alite's and Russo's stories sound realistic.
The difference is that TK ain't lying tho
Movies, documentaries & media records show Michael & Sammy walking the talk but I’ve only heard about John Alite from out of his own mouth
u can go on alites channel he released a video of him at a club with john gotti and other gangsters hes legit
@@riverdean7 He was on a Gotti surveillance video where he was hanging on Jr's balls. Sr. walked by him like he didn't exist. Sr was one of the most surveilled Mobsters in the US. Shouldn't Aliar be in more videos than one since he claims that he was Gotti's bodyguard/hitman? You and I could have made it in one of those videos if we stood on the same sidewalk where Gotti was. When Aliar showed that video. One of the guys Aliar said was in that video, died years before that video was dated.
@@natas-6747 lol ok but gotti snr dont allow people around him who shouldnt be there ,and wen inside the club u dont know that john alite and gotti snr werent talkn about business,u can tell he was close to gotti jnr in the video u see them talkn,read the forbes magazine piece on john,hes legit
@@natas-6747 Remember Braveheart? Longshanks son had a "friend". The second he made himself REALLY noticed by Longshanks he got thrown out of a window. Aliar probably was the same.
Gianni “It was real in my mind” Russo
" I was !&@! Marilyn Monroe in the boat as George Washington and I were crossing the Delaware" - Gianni Russo
Michael gifted with wisdom. Thats a lot .
Top class michael, god bless you.
I'm just a guy that watches CZcams. Pretty sure no one can ever say anything bad about Sonny. Good on Michael for kinda blowing off Patrick's question.
The clip closes, “I doubt my father ever met him.”
😂
That scene in The Godfather where Michael has my character killed. I wrote that scene on my lunch break on 3 hours of sleep and a coke high. Can you believe that? - Gianni Russo
They forgot to mention Russo's claim that he was seduced and bedded by Marilyn Monroe when he(Russo) was still in his middle teenage years.
She said his package his twice the size of Milton Berle's you believe that?
CZcams is gone batshit crazy with ads. They can't even plug an ad in right it goes black screen for it ever starts
Michael is a straight-shooter... love his thoughts. Sempre..
He is talking about the same things all the time...at first he is interesting, but when you listen more interviews it becomes boring.
@@redbull4fly797the truer does get boring 😂
Truth
Go on Michael 💪
“Michael Franzese is my biological father - sure, he’s younger than me. You believe that?” ~ Gianni Russo
Characters is the right definition for those two.
Respect to you Michael Franzese and your Dad was a true man until the end and I have listened to you and how you lost your sister to drugs and your brother going down the drug way and then wearing a wire and testified against your father what a life it must have been God 🙏 to you and your family and great interview again Patrick class act
Testified against Sonny twice the 2nd time Sonny apparently put a Contract out on him. John even wore a Wire taping his Dad all the while crying his eyes out in denial when Sonny started quizzing him that must've been 1 hell of a kick in the gonads for Sonny
Michael is one stand up guy! Awesome
That Russo dude is definitely the forrest gump
of crime storys
“I doubt my father ever met him”😂😂😂
"I never knew anything about the guy until he came up on social media" EXACTLY! This is true just as much for John Alite who is and was a nobody in the mob as it is for Michael Franzese who despite having been a legit capo in the Colombo family nobody would have ever heard of him if not for social media.
john alite sure as shit knew about him before social media. Thats the difference.
He was literally mentioned in the goodfellas movie which was made in the 90s plenty of people interested in that life knew about Michael and his father sonny
He made £8 million a week for the gasoline scam when there was no social media and people knew him then 🤦🏽♂️
Years ago Michael was known , they even mention him in Goodfellas , years ago he was on the news quite a bit .So back in the day if yo u were alive back then people knew who Michael was .His father was a legend and still is , may he rest in peace .Nobody ever heard of Alite he wasn't known like that , so it's not true when you say no one knew Michael before Social media , it is true no one heard of John Alite .
You missed the point, it’s about people in that life who knew each other. Everyone in the mafia knew who Michael Franzese was. No ones ever heard of the other guy
The way he laughed when he said Ghani’s name
Mike is a class guy
The mafia forest gump lmao 🤣
People who are here for crazy responses got the most gangster response ever. " Patrick I never met the guy, I never heard of the guy, I never knew anything about him until he came up on social media" is the most gangster response ever.👍
Franzese knew Lenny Montana, who played Luca Brasi, slightly but enough to talk plenty about him. If Russo had been there for him to know, he would have known him.
" I taught Johnny Alite everything he knows and that's absolutely nothing... hand to God , I know right , can you believe this shit !? " --Gianni Russo.
I like Gianni especially how he doesn't use curse words.
Out of all these gangsters , Michael seems to be the most untouchable with BS, Either from him or attaching to him he was the realest it was the realest and the life came to him it chose him , He truly is very to be respected not feared which is to say a lot about him,, Character to be honored, Never in spotlight, Or a braggart or a piece of s*** killer. He just earned and made his family grow Bigger than himself This is COS a NOSTRA! The individuality is what destroyed the team! He is best example.
Johnny Aletto discovered Hawaii, in 1778. He wacked Captain Cook.
Bruh literally no one knows Johnny Alite 🤣🤣🤣
I'll give alite a pass on this one. He and franzese are from different era's and would have had very little if any interaction, but overall yes nobody knows alite, yet he's so connected.
Plenty of people recognize Alite
i mean he was not a made man, but neather was jimmy burke. I belive the things he says i really do. Michael franzese is a bad guy to ask who john alite was, he was from a diff era, and he was a kaptain for christ sake, thats waaaay high up.
@@seahawks5725 like who?
🤣🤣😂😂🙈
Michael is a real one - top guy
Life is like a box of cannoli - Gianni Russo
But you have a gun
I think half life 2 will be released before the Franzese/Gravano sitdown.
Micheal really fascinates me, he has lived such a life and has really seen it all. I find people who become famous or well known have a darker than normal past. It's almost like you need to have fallen tremendously to be allowed to rise.
When I saw this part I had no idea who these two were. After listening to interviews from both at least the comments about Russo make sense.
Damn, Michael is a stand-up guy. Stand for nothing fall for anything
Stand up guy!!! *respect*
"You know the "Big Bang? I was there too and I tell ya, it wasn't that big of a bang""
Gianni Russo
"Actually I was the cause of the big bang. Can you believe it?"
where can i see the video of Sammy Gravano and M.Franzese Sitdown?
The interviewer uses paragraphs to ask a question! Lol
For you people saying Gianni is full of it! I know a ton of people personally in Hollywood and LA, and have done interviews way back when I first started doing radio and producing shows with some pretty connected people and they mentioned him! Sopranos actor Steve Schirripa worked for Gianni back in the day and knows all these people in Vegas and backs up a lot Gianni statements.
Clicked on this fast as fuck 😂
If I had to choose to have a beer with everyone in set now and the two mentioned, twice on Tuesday Russo 🍺😍👍 what a character
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯 yes Michael
Gianna comes off as a joke/wanna be. He gets so carried away with his lies that he forgets of some of this stuff actually happened, like the mafia blowing up the front gates and doors to Paramount pictures that there would actually be a police report or a photo or a new story of it.
@The Dude , my friend even with the internet today there's people lying their asses off in the media, and making up stories and many people are buying it. I guess being gullible is a thing most humans posses.
Marilyn Monroe took his virginity when he was a teenager apparently...
Gianni, unless you meant to call him a woman's name; in that case my hat is off to you!
He's just an actor, you are not suppose to take him seriously. Now John Alite the guy supposedly was part of that life, you have to take his lies seriously. Because he's claiming he was some big shot enforcer.
“ I helped Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel”

“I parted the Sea.” -Gianni Russo
These days when they talk about “this thing of ours”, they’re talking about CZcams. 😎
Funny lol 🤣
Gianni Russo is "The most interesting man in the world" You may say how do I know this? Gianni Russo told me himself. FACTS
When he said that he was sitting with the shah. He was talking about Frank Vincent.
Was I powerful enough to start my own family? Yes I was.
You mean Franzese. Who had the money and connections. But also the good sense not to try.
"He's an actor, what can I say?" Hahah
Alite will go ape shit over this 🤣
Real g
“he almost is a comedy act “ lol.
I’m getting addicted to Mike F and his knowledge of the Mafia
