What are your thoughts on suicide and God ?
As a young man, I appreciate you guys letting me listen to your conversation.
EXACTLY, I want to speak to the Boss. When Jesus died on the cross, the veil was torn from top to bottom, giving us ALL direct access to Jesus Christ. Why worship the universe when you can worship the Creator of the Universe.
My dad came to Christ in the hospital I spoke to him on the phone he said things was going to be different now unfortunately he died at 49 In that hospital I like to think your dad came to know the Lord as well God bless
Chaz is such a neat guy. So real and straightforward in his questions and comments. Love this guy.
Michael I just loved the way you explained the difference between being a Catholic and a Christian. Brought tears to my eyes. That’s exactly the way I feel. God bless you❤
I'm PA Dutch born but spent my teens with a Sicilian woman. Hearing 2 New York Italians talking about the mob and Christ is just enjoyable.
I agree Chazz! Let’s have the boss in a sit down- I am pertaining to Michael’s wife. We want to hear how much toll it takes for a woman to stand up during those tumultuous years. Yes, Michael could have been giving the whole world to her but in return she had to deal with the fact that the guy did things as his duty to the mob. How strong love was because I’m telling you for a woman to stay like that with you- that’s love, that’s commitment. We want to know what was her frame of mind because how do you raise a family, kids, particularly while your husband is away and the things you would hear from other people. They have a completely different world so I salute her on that. It would be so interesting to hear!
Michael I’m 83 and I had the same problem talking to my dad about Christ, I witnessed to him on his death bed but I had to have our pastor go to the hospital to make sure I did it right, he came back to the church and said he was good every thing was good.
I love the story about Smokey Robinson! 'Anything you want...' How smooth! What girl could resist that! It would be neat to see a sit down with Cammy. It is so important to be with the right person. Who you are with can change your life for the better or worse. Thanks! Great sit down today!
As a Roman Catholic I can say that my father always had the lord when I was growing up but upon his passing I lost him in denial, and as I age I understand the sacrifices we have to make to enter the kingdom knowingly and it’s only with true faith and sacrifice that one can enter. Thanks fellas god bless!

By God's grace alone through faith ALONE in Jesus Christ EVERLASTING sacrifice. Repenting of sins is profitable to yourself and your fellow man (and pleases God) but it does not save you. We have done NOTHING to earn, deserve or maintain our own salvation.
I appreciate you guys 🙏🏼 I’m a born-again believer and I’m thankful for the testimonies and the wisdom. I was stabbed in 2003 and spent 5 days in the hospital. I watched “The Bronx Tale” twice while I was hospitalized. It was on cable. I had never seen it before. It helped inspire me to turn my life around, by the grace of God. I pray your work would continue to bear great fruit 🙏🏼
Micheal wife was truly a gift from God to save his life and give him a new more meaningful purpose
I feel your story Michael, on so many levels, I listen to Greg Laurie also, I was facing a court case and i felt hopeless like you said my world just crumbled around me just finding no reason to live. I remembered a sermon where Laurie preached about Elijah being persecuted and hopeless hiding in a cave asking God to take his life, And God told him to Go rest, and go out and serve him. I asked God to take away my hopelessness and bring joy in my life once again . God has always come thru for me and I Your life is inspiring and knowing that when you hit rock bottom the only place to look is up to the sky where the Lord sits on his throne. Keep inspiring other believers to trust Jesus
Michael you're blessed to have a wife like your wife...many would of walked away...with that time away so soon...I would like to just say what you already know how special your wife is....in hard times such good things can come out of it...
Good morning Mr.Palminteri, Mr. Franzese good to see you here and learn from you.
You guys have been outstanding especially these last couple episodes God bless you both.
I believe that Camille saved Michaels life
7:40 Yes! It would be great to hear Mrs. Franzese's testimony 🙏🙌

Interesting. Indeed
Chaz is a Christian like Michael too but he might not know it yet. God Bless these guys👍
I would love to talk with you, Michael! We have more in common than you could imagine! May God bless you and the ministry He has given you!
I can relate to you Michael with love helping you find jesus I was a drug addict from when I was just a kid but in 2015 I prayed to meet a woman that was worth more than my past that very wish came true but like you hitting rock bottom before you resurfaced I had to do that also my angel left my life a few weeks after meeting her but within those 8 years I've turned my life around and the best of it I stay in the same town as my angel and we've seen each other from time to time but I know its only a matter of time till she comes back to stay for good so even though stephy is a atheist she help me find God so I believe my job is to help her find her faith again by showing how jesus saved my life with letting me meet her
Jesus Christ is my favorite person in this world it took many years to truly understand how important he really is 😊
These last two episodes have been incredible! Thank you
Michael your story reminds me so much of my wife and I. Where would a man be without a good woman behind him? I love what you guys are doing. Life is good, thank you both for giving your perspectives. Enjoy the rest of your week
Guys, you hit it out of the park as usual. Thank you, and God bless.
One word and reason Michael met her….God Love the channel and deep learning your wisdom brings here. Hopefully the Lord keeps using you
My two favorite wise guys
The two gentlemen Talk! Thanks for sharing your experience of life examples with us.
My walk with Christ has been up and down. I needed this. Thank you

Great discussion
Great convo

Thank you for sharing 😊❤🙏💝
This is a great podcast!!
Love Chaz and Michael…. A life I can’t resonate with but is interesting and inspirational the men you have become. I’m not into religion but I can appreciate their perspectives. Hope tho this show this is not the entire focus.
Some people are so thick headed they had to hit rock bottom!! Chazz P.
Fascinating.
Great Topic Guys. 😀
This is awesome the story of a " Religious Loyalty wife"
Thank you again gentlemen for this amazing episode. Maybe you can talk next time about this German book which is called ‘don’t miss your life' (Versäume nicht dein leben- in german) from the author and monk Anselm Grün. It really helped me and few friends of mine as well. Maybe your can find few chapters and talk about about, since we have all the translating tools. Take care and hopefully see you next week!
Cool, video from u guys.. great to watch u guys yours R great, to kick back. And listen too
I love Chazz😊
He had to be thinking about it. He saw the difference in you.
God bless both of you, this is the best you've done! God had a plan for both of you before you even cared about him.
Great story
This is the 2nd video I have watched. The first was when Michael talked about visiting a serial killer in jail. That was quite interesting. I am enjoying your channel so far. Love to you both. How did you two come about doing this channel?
Beautiful love story.
Faith in Christ is strength. Not weakness.
Great episode Guys Love the conversation about Jesus we need more of Jesus Love,always,but now more than ever.
Good. Video guys.
You deserve more views
we should feed the homeless, and save others from the fire bless yall
❤❤❤❤true love mikey. Grat questioned chazz . Platform is great i love the honesty so nice to see
I love what Michael said about the difference between Vatholicd and Christians! I was baptized Catholic,but consider myself Christian because I don't believe in confessions to a priest and he can firgive you. I think I pray to God and he's the only one that can forgive me! I respect the priest and believe he's a man of God, but he isn't God. I married a Lutheran in a Lutheran church and the difference between Catholic and Lutheran is you Don't ask the priest gor forgiveness. Other than that, they are the same. Oh, also you don't have to get permission to divorce, like you do in the Catholic faith. Which I'm glad, because I was my husband's third wife! We did have a counciling session before the priest married us. We were married over ,40 years before he passed, and like Michael I was 24 and he was 17 years older. So there was doubts in peoples minds. He didn't have money and we had hard times, but I would fo it again in a heartbeat,!
0:01 the born again Christian episode from the sopranos springs to mind 😂
Its 100% real 🙏🙏🙏
If I was asked: "What made Jeesus the son of God?" I would have to answer: "He was one of us, but without sin."
I had a revelation
Good humans
No heart is to hard for the Lord to make flesh. Many must chose this day whom they will serve before is to late we are truly in the last days. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. God bless michael and his family and you all.
You too where and are made for made for each other God works in his own ways Amen
💚🙏 u fellas feel like old school home 🥲😔
Bebe ba boopi baba de bing. Skuuzi . De vino de vanni, de bopa de bingo Ah mamma mia. Dimmi. De sai Non lo dici. Its lovely to hear Chaz and Michael talking Italian.😅😅😅
I love you two together! Michael, see Acts 3:19. Repent then and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out. Repentance is the key to forgiveness, which leads to spiritual renewal. This is my daily prayer for repentance: "Dear Lord, thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for not abandoning ourselves to our mistakes. Help convict me of sin and to accept your mercy without shame. Thank you for your love and help me live out of that love today. In Jesus's Name. Amen. We absolutely can forgive ourselves as Jesus forgave us. God bless both of you.
MICHAEL…. Being born again means to repent of all your sins, take up your cross and follow Christ. Being baptized is part of being obedient to Christ and it goes along with being born again. Your life completely changes when you’re born again and you desire to live a holy life. You desire to spend time in God’s word and obey what it says. LOVE YOUR SHOW and so thankful you are a brother in Christ. Just wanted your followers to know it’s more than baptism. 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻
I believe God always has a plan for us. I believe that he sent Camille Michael. They say God works in mysterious ways and it's true,!
Chaz plus or minus nothing else Jesus alone .. is the only way to the father … will pray you too accept Jesus as YOUR personal savior “ blessed is the man that trusts in HIM…. Appreciate your talent and Michael’s faith!!!! God Bless !!!
Explain when he was able to have children with his wife and how was that going in and out? Was there left over money to help his new family out? Wife/kids?
Great story. Hey Chazz, if you believe that Jesus came to earth, died on a cross for our sins, and was resurrected then you're a Christian. "Born again", denominations, etc are just flavors within that. Sounds like you are a believer.
Chaz my friend,it hurt to hear your not born again,you can believe,the devil believes and trembles. Don't lose it,it's forever,eternity,and it's nearer than we think,l will pray for your soul.😎🇺🇲

@@KevinAntoniusMaximus nice words my friend but being born again has nothing to do with a denomination or a movement,it's a personal thing,Jesus said you must be born again, never mentioned denomination.
Both stand up genuine guys. Life is a story and a journey like chapters in a book. We all have life lessons on our journey and great to see michael transform his life. Would love to talk to you both and you are extremely engaging. Curious with your view on Christ your views that he was a rabbi and Jewish and if you follow your roots to one of the 12 tribes of Israel.
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” Romans 8:14 Father, thank You for the faith You have given me to attempt something of risk for You. You have promised that You will lead me into all truth.
great episode today watchen right now god bless be safe there hopefully israel issue ends peacefully!!!!!
Mike: You failed Pops??????????????? HE FAILED YOU !!!
Right
Sonny says the phone is a cop. Lol
But Mike, once you get married there are no more Goomah's. That's a deal breaker for me. :)
JESUS is the way, truth and life. Great show,
I want to speak to the boss only and that can be in any capacity in life.
Today I contacted left wing Cenk Uygur from TYT network and congratulated him on winning the Joey Butafuacco look alike contest once again ( He's won for like 7 years in a row) . Even Amy Fisher thinks so .
Question…. How can a Mobster marry a non Italian woman like Franzese did? Wasn’t that also frowned upon “in the life”?
🙏🙏🙏
Chaz had dinner with Bill o Reilly who is next david Duke
