Michael Franzese: Inside the New Jersey and Philadelphia Mafia |  

Get your tickets here to see Michael speak in Atlantic City: bit.ly/3s0ckHg Hope to see you there

What made him strong in new jersey was the city of newark and all the guys around that they were the kings

Not to mention the decava cante and riggy controlling all those unions were yet every union in the state under us

Step sister how about step brother sense there men guy

Philly born and raised 💪👊💯💯

Tommaso do you think that Vinny Ma're would come on the show?.🐟🤔

Oh Chicago was not powerful as New York?? 😊 Micheal Come back again correct also about the golden years... May be right after commission was established in early 30s when Charlie Lucky was running everything you'll call the platinum diamond years 😊

You should meet my Uncle. He's 70, did 13 years for cassettes in the 96. He was friends with the all the wise guys in Philly and locked up with both Stanfa and Merlino(obviously at thier different times all on record when what my uncle's and cousins did is all on the Internet and all on record). He is the twin of Stanfa in looks mannerisms and accent, Stanfa and every two wise guy really liked and respected my uncle in prison. And respect to people like Micheal Franzes and his father and men like him who stand tall no matter what life you choose to go down. And by the way my Uncle is going to court now for "Allegedly" coming in at the end of a wedding and hitting someone (the nephew of his ex wife) in the head with a baseball bat for something very personal the kid did and he's 70 years old. But he never watched documentaries on RU-vid in Philly and was telling my stories like a grown little kid reliving his past mentioning all these names mentioned in the documentaries and some twins he was friends with and yeah, he probably wouldn't mind, his story from the news article is crazy enough for him the way all these old mob guys(not Micheal Franzes) who rat and then come on RU-vid and profit while my uncle at 70 is still as crazy as he was before prison, in prison and after prison. He's really the real deal and i say that with no bias that I'm related to the man, he is the living embodiment of an old school stand up straight gangster, and he far from brags or talks shit, I'm doing it for him now 😂

Hello sir michsel

Pasquale"Peppino" Sylvestri con Ceasar"Carrado" Rotundi Cosa Nostra Mici de Filadelfia.

Fraud!

Did Joe Jelly like Peanutbutter?

When tom turns his head a certain way it looks like he is wearing a yamaka😂

Michael nice guy. Doesn't know much about Jersey. I can give u the history from growing up in it and reading

Sorry My Friend that I've been missing Your shows but My Life has been something like a Rollercoaster Ride ....the past few weeks🤦🤦🤦🤦💯💯💯💯🤷🤷🤷🤷

Nice chat, but what happened to the NJ discussions of Catena, Boiardo, Russo, Newark, East Hanover, North Caldwell!!?

He didn't talk about the rigi schmegegge

Tom is slurring lol... joking😊

Not sure why you dropped the Armchair MBA title for the New Theory title. I know what the former means or can draw a mental image of it. I have no idea what "New Theory" means (relative to pasta, pizza, and Cosa Nostra) nor can I muster a mental image. Nice to see you are still in the genre though. Nice outfit as well, and well trimmed beard. 👍

Hey Tom. Another great guest. Probably see you in AC on 9/23. SAM . Maybe I won't have to pay for tickets(-: Stay well Pal.

Capone was not at apalachin he was no longer boss then 😂

What happen to talking about philly side...

Saludos Tommy Suitcase y Familia🙏💯

Chicago outfit was more powerful than anything in new York except Genovese family

John Riggi was a legend. I don't think the history books do him justice. This guy was POWERFUL and well loved by the community. I remember the Riggi house in Edison, it was reserved and unassuming... much like the man himself R.I.P. - Tom great show... Glad to see you back and looking well.

Sam! Would love to see it!

Michael often talks about the 9 families that were part of the commission. From someone who was born and raised in Rhode Island how is it that the Patriarca family was not included with those families?

Thanks for this episode.....Tomasso🇮🇹🇺🇸⚒️ .....alsways learn much from Michael Franzese when he opens up and gets busy ....with his business💯💪😎👊🇵🇷🇺🇸⚒️

Ok Tom Hadn’t watched in a while . But it’s still (I love it ) ( interesting ) ( correct) and other various unnecessary catch praises . Lol Just kidding Tom always enjoy your content

Michael is jus a class act ! Jus a real likable guy , great interview Tom ! Miss you with your guy John penisi lol

I agree with the legal business being the biggest money these days, but these guys are criminals and in that respect I think Cosa Nostra in America should have never gotten away from killing to get in. They should have kept that. It weeds out a lot of the fringe players that aren’t willing to take a big sentence. That way your locked in at the hip! These days, guys are flipping over getting 5 years in the state!!! With good time your out in no time and they still rat...

Sam!!!!!!!!!

Ask Michael will he visit his friend Rudi in prison

Fantastic interview as usual Tom. Thankyou and have a great weekend ❤️👍🏻

Started with Richie the Boot Boiardo and Longy Zwellman, our Myer Lansky. Look those guys up. That's NJ

Sam! I'd love to go see Michael I love right outside AC

Great interview Tom 🍿👍

Love when Mike mentioned going down to Tampa! I live here currently but originally from Boston. Tampa is where Donnie Brasco went with Sonny Black to check out the nightclub.

Love it TOMMY YOU CAME BACK STRONG COUSIN. My best friend growing up was Frankie rizzo he was Sam decavs sisters son his nephew. He lived in TRENTON. Wow young step sister damn mike Jesus Christ lol, well it’s 2023 and THE FARMERS ARE ALL IN THE ADMINSTRATIONS LOL NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT RIGHT???? Loll where I grew up we had DECAV guys, THE SOUTH PHILLY GUYS, and the gambinos who answered 2 Brooklyn captains, MY uncle GOV was JHONNY keys driver, after JHONNY got killed they shelved uncle GOVENOR, they sent for him in NY and they had respect that he showed up after the JHONNY keys hit, so I guess they gave him a pass and his father Nicky my great grandfather was straightned out with the manganos I guess it was in the late 40s AWESOME SHOW BRO LOVE FROM TRENTON NJ

I 100% feel Michael on the current state of liberal cities, it's deplorable, but Michael says I wish we were back in charge so it wouldn't be this way. Well, in the late 70's the mob was a powerhouse in New York and the crime and murder rate was at an all-time high. I believe 1982 was the worst year ever, so I'm afraid in this case Michael has some selective amnesia lol

finamente......Finalmente uno spettacolo di qualità - thank you - my friend!!

The Bruno Family! Not The Scarfo Family!

Can you ask Michael if he had ever heard of or had ever been to a club called this Stilwell caves. It was located on 13th and Stillwell Avenue in Brooklyn it was around from the early 50s to the mid-70s. All the Italian crooners from back in the day would perform there including Connie Francis, Vic Damone, Al Martino Dean Martin and even Sammy Davis jr. I cannot find any information on it other than a couple Old-Timers I've met in South Florida that were familiar with the place. My grandparents who were Italian immigrants were the owners and I know it was popular with many Profaci and Bonanno guys and I have always assumed there were strong ties to the Profaci/Colombo family especially since that was Profaci territory and with old man Joe being known as the "Olive oil King" and it being a restaurant owned by Italian immigrants there had to be some involvement and with Michael's ties to the music industry I thought he may be familiar with it.

SAM I AM!!! I had the chance to meet Michael in person - what a humble yet powerful presence he has.

Tom! I haven’t seen your show in a while. Great show!

All the old mobster going way back had the best time of it lots of murders corruption double dealings get caught do your time back on the street .eventually government crack down Rico laws social media everywhere you would need to be a mug to get involved these days

Does Michael pray while he is cheating on his wife. "Oh forgive me baby Jesus"

Great to see the two of you together again.

By the way, I've known about Micheal Franzese since i was 13 or 14 from a dvd documentary i bought off the guy from my neighborhood in Paterson NJ and im going on 30 now. And i swear for God's sake first, but then people like my uncle and Micheal are the reason i didn't run deep deep into thier foot steps because of giving me the reality of what I've seen. The last few years I've definitely calmed down abd actually started listening to elders advice about not going down that path because unfortunately there is no real loyalty left in the world let alone in the streets especially today. So human wise I take my father as a role model, was literally like Don Corleone from the movie the Godfather in looks and voice and popularity for modesty while my uncle's were like the crew in Goodfellas. My father was very peaceful and well well well loved and i say that with no bias that he was my father, he was a business man and had around 1,500 people at his funeral and again he sold cars for a living, he was no politician but everyone and anyone would come for help or advice or settle disputes between people how whole hearted and genuine he was that i swear I've watched the Godfather for the first time i think a year after he past away and i was in tears when i actually seen the movie due all my teachers over the years telling me that's who he looked like and i still had no idea what The Godfather really was about up until 7 years ago and now I've watched it over 100 times due too similarities familiar. When people want to say The Godfather is over romanticized I no way because ive witnessed a human being who actually matches that standard(without the murders of course 😂). I was with my dad and around his friends every single day from the age of 12 up until his last day 8 years ago. And I put no emotional attachment he was my father, I'm talking strictly facts based off what I've witnessed, this man use to send me to the grocery store after widows would ask for help from him after he collected money from him and his friends to help pay for rent and that was a normal thing to him and to be growing up. RU-vid really my only social media, venting to strangers in the comments is a bad habit of mine lol but it's the truth, and i try to never mix my emotions with absolute truth, that's a picture of my father in the profile pic and have my father as a background on my phone how much i looked up that man, so when from the age of 12 up until a few years ago i was like my dad in mannerisms and fairness and wisdom but like my uncle's in actions and thank God i took the uncle's part out the last few years and have been trying to live the way my father did, which was love. It's crazy when you have real real wise guys humble and dangerous men humble thier character around my father and never talk dirty nonsense around him from how shy you feel in that man's presence. He was so loved because from homeless to millionaires to ruthless guys(from people in the ghetto to wise guys) loved my father as much as I'm talking good about him now because he was very very fair and wise and very humble and charismatic and too too sharp, nothing got over on him. Aw man God rest that man's soul.

Good job

How old ths
