Keep it up Johnny Mitchell! Iv listened to other people interviewing guest that you have had on the connect and you ask all the right questions, you know exactly what to say and keep the interview going for 2 hours or more love what your doing dont stop !
Everyone wanted to buy Michael Franzese's gas because it was cheaper. It wasn't stolen gas, but gas that he never paid taxes on, because NY allowed you to pay the tax on the honor system(By the time they figured out taxes were owed, that company was out of business and Michael was nowhere on the paperwork.
He was wholesaling all over the Northeast. When he retailed it, he collected the tax and kept it. Brilliant. He made tens of millions of dollars a month. He made so much money, but the Feds were all over him and locked him in the hole for other things. They were going to make an example of him, but he had never done anything too bad and they couldn't get him on the gas tax scam, but they knew about it.
The interviewer is a crack up. He’s notorious for not having done any homework about the people he interviews and it’s always funny. 😂😂😂😂
Excellent interview
Good video keep op the good work❤
Talks about MF for 2 minutes at the end….
A bunch of cheese eaters
@yumm. greggsiano5920

Johnny would get wacked just for that hairpiece 😂
Can't unsee the piece now
Someone should introduce him to a hat
😂

@@Craig-gk2gr hahah nice
when you run out of money, when your phone stops ringing, when everyone leaves you, when you find yourself alone... remember this, those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy
Franzese did NOT steal the gas. He got the gas from the same sources every other gas station owner gets it from. But he just kept the taxes. I mean there is a certain amount of tax on every galone of gas which the customers pay of course and as a gas station owner you kinda have to forward this tax to the government but Franzese just didn't and kept it instead. He could do it for about a year before the government came down on this particular gas station and if they did he filed bankruptcy with this gas station and opens a new one a week later. So imagine that ... people are filling their cars with gas at your gas station and you just keep the taxes that are attached to every galon of gas. Now you're doing it with literally hundreds of gas stations for about a year until the government wants the taxes. You close the station then and just open a new one over and over again. So you don't have to steal the gas because you're making millions with the kept taxes. Therefore you can offer cheaper prices of course which is why everyone buys his gas from one of your gas stations. This is how it worked.
Absolutely correct! I ran a few stations in the late 80’s early 90’s. Wild times
Awesome interview…
Nice vid... informative
LOL exactly !!!
Street Shit , Gang , MoB , Cartel Lyfe in a Nutshell is the Devil ..
The ways and mental process that goes into the decision making is Not only heartless but nonsensical..
They act like they have honour when in reality they are the most dishonorable men that ever existed.
It’s literally no different than any other organization or government. The delusional idea that the FBI isn’t the same or worse is hilarious. Or the church, or google. Stop being naive.
Aka the US period
Good interviews
Thanks for the great content man. I’d love to share my story
Noone really cares…sorry to ruin your day. I’m gunna take a shot in the dark and say that your screen name represents “LC” for ‘Little Cock’, “V” because it’s a ‘Very’ little cock, and the “Blades Edge” stands for just how wide Mr. Johnson is-about as wide as a ‘Blade’s Edge”. Good luck pleasing a woman/man, much less yourself. May wanna look into some surgery alternatives if my predictions of you having a smaller-than-average cum cannon. Good luck in fixing it however you see fit. Hell your boyfriend/wife may not can handle anything bigger…
Sonny not only killed his own brother, but his son Michael also said that his father let him walk into a room knowing he could be killed bc the higher ups thought he may turn.
Absolute scum.
His Dad was a Moron.
Wen did Sonny kill his brother ? Where’d you get that ? You mean Greg scrapa killed his brother. Btw the meeting had nothing to do wit him turning.. it had to do wit , if he was turning in the correct amount of money🤦♂️
😂
@@xavierjames8085I never heard about sonny killing his brother either. I did not know about Greg. Was it his older brother?
Joe, where did you get that shirt!?
Nat Nast?
Most Tony Soprano shirts were Nat Nast. $155 brand new, $50 used on eBay 100% Silk.
I hope you guys can provide the maker of Joes shirt.
Thanks
D
For the love of God, why are you bleeping out the words 'shit' and 'fuck' when the conversation is literally about killing people. LOL Think about it..
Good point.
Just thinking the same thing 🙄
I even met his dad in a diner in new roch
Why don't anybody ever talk about John Gotti never ratting and he never ratted
Yeah I'm under no illusion that Gotti was a good person or anything but government creating RICO with life sentences + rats is what killed LCN, saying Sr did is a total cop out and usually it's someone who doesn't have a clue just yappin
facts Johnny was Mafia to the core! A mans man.
This is true but he never would've been given a deal or offered anything by the government for "ratting" so why and who would he rat too? The government wanted him in prison and that's it. He could've offered every member and the government wouldn't have cared or listened
@@kevinouellette5316exactly John was the ultimate goal for them
His son did
He wasn't stealing the gas. Wtf? He just had a bunch of gas stations that he was able to sell the gas cheaper because he wasn't paying the taxes to the government the gas he was selling. He made so much because he undercut the market so he'd get the most business.
Man, these mob podcasts are really getting water down granted there’s probably hundreds and hundreds of these so-called associates with the mafia but it’s starting to get a little silly
Don’t listen 😂
@@fullauto1125 BM
Why say " nice" when the man says he has more devastating ammunition?
It certainly isn't " nice"
They just got the boss in trouble. They said maybe he snitching ! lol wow. The soldiers trippin now!
Dude just self ratted and implicated others in a federal murder conspiracy on film. WTF
@@scottfay3553He's already a rat are you people this stupid
Joe “ the groundhog” Barone. Scared of his own shadow.
I thought you could never kill a boss
Dude, why the click bait, not very true title eh
Thats what they do. They could using Micheal face or name so people click to hear theyre bull
@@accavanos every time i see this i instantly unsub. Luckily all the good ones dont do it
I honestly wasn’t expecting them to talk much about Michael. This borderline clickbait stuff has become a common UA-cam gimmick anymore.
One thing I know is crooks talk bs. Don’t believe anyone who would rob their own granny.
You don’t know a fucking thing. Nerd.
Is Johnny rocking a piece up there?
According to Sandra Peddie, Michael was never an official captain. She states in his father’s book that he only told people he was. Who knows
How she knew she’s woman
Who the hell is Sandra peddie? Women never knew what was really going on. Especially back then.
Franzese didnt have to buy stolen gas , gas prices are like 30 percent taxes so if you can sell gas for ten percent less than everyone else and pocket 20 percent still you make a ton of money pretty simple shell game scheme
And who told you Sonny killed his own brother? Which brother??
"Just for sleeping with a guys wife". man!..how far has virtue fallen.
I don’t know how grown men grown adults can be robbing and stealing while everyone else is out there working hard getting up commuting paying bills and you have these grown men out there acting like a bunch of children stealing robbing I mean really
Once a psychopath - always a psychopath. And the symptoms show up in childhood.
You talking about the republicans or democrats?
That's why they are called gangsters an your a civilian.. gangsters don't go by the law an rules civilians do....
Ask the government they're the best at it on a worldwide scale.
Johnny shopped at Maurys wigs
lol this guy cry’s Everytime he talks about his dad lol he’s a tuff guy
Didn't Mikey the Nose kill his wife? I thought Joe Massino was wired and got Vincent Basciano to talk about all of this
Why is this hitman, i.e. murderer, free on the streets??!!
This guy use to sing in mcc
Idk bout Genovese being in top,Gambino's certainly stronger than ever,since early gotti era
Vlad and the connect just saying
This is better because he’s not dropping 100 1 minute clips before dropping the whole episode lol
So basically, Vlad gets black guys to snitch on themselves, and The Connect gets white guts and everyone else to snitch on themselves.
Yeah the snitching is off the scale 😂😂😂
You don’t become a captain in the Colombo family if you’ve never clipped anybody
Not true. There are guys that haven't done any work other than financially kick up
@@TPM1424in that era. In the Persico era. C’mon. I’m not positive Michael Franzese ever pulled a trigger, but I’d be willing to bet at the very least he participated, ordered or was involved in a murder at some point.
If you were making 8mn a week you didn't need to clip anyone to become caporegime.
That's what I always thought
@markbrooker3729 The vast majority of the guys do commit a murder. On the other hand there are people who are Mega earners or someone's son who gets a pass like Franzese, Tom Gambino, etc.
Most have said even Gotti Sr has never committed a murder himself, but planned hits though!
One thing I learned from watching all the videos. Dnt do any crime lol These guys these days will tell on their own mother the way they be talking lol
Dude is not even listening
If he’d let people talk and not interrupt with so many questions, these stories might make more sense.
@@a-a-ron4679😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I’m not joking. This guy looks like Robert Barone, Raymond’s brother from everybody loves Raymond.
Yeah without the height
Mikey the tooth 🦷 !
Mikey root canal ...
Mikey brights ! 🌞
Dom wants to brush thoes pearls .. 🪥 💰
No such thing a million dollar contract😮
They don’t pay for hits.
They're wild animals. People should listen to this statement before they decide to join those crazy organizations.
What would be the point if it’s already dead? Kinda seems like a waste of time doesn’t it?
Everyone knows HRC is the goat.
Loui electric??
if he,d of done that they would have killed this guy straight away!
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about and I’m surprised Jonny isn’t catching it. Dom was on your show before and told you that he was the one arrested for killing Randy right before he was about to kill Mike the nose.
Numbskull kingpin!
The criminal knowledge of the host is nonexistent and at times massively cringey!
I was in fci edge field with the nose
He owned Barone Sanitation!
My guy got a toupee
There are no contracts for murder in the mob this guy is full of it.😊
Lol rent a wise guy
Ace was the shooter,Mikey was in East Harlem purple gang, he should've been taken out for that stuff w meldish
This interview is a joke! 2%truth and that's being generous
Enough sucking up to Dominick
Franzese got it with the Russian Mafia.
Why you make all your videos you gotta get paid to watch now? Already paying 22 a month for youtube premium. Loved your show too was putting people onto it
The real gangsters are the good fathers and mothers who work to earn their money. They don’t lie and follow life’s rules of not harming the public.

Hydroshock bullets aren't illegal
They were at the time
Different states have different laws
They are where he’s at.
Funny how shit that happened generations before this guy can shit on these guys that did what these guys did. I'm surprised these guys even talk to him.
What’s up with this hair all of a sudden?!! 😂 WTF?!
Literally nothing to do with MF for 20 minutes
Johnny buddy wtf is that hair piece? It looks ridiculous
John Gotti was in the spotlight all the time strategically. That was one way that would be very hard to cap him with so many cameras on him at all times. If he didn’t talk about murders, who knows, he might still be alive today and possibly not even in jail.
I remember Frank cullotta saying the same thing when he was asked how he felt about being under surveillance 24/7 he just looked at it as an anti Wack mechanism.
lol too funny
This man chats some waffle some might b true but he defo stretching on some lol
He couldn’t kill a dead cockroach
Of course not. You can't kill something that's dead.
That’s joe “the groundhog” scared of his own shadow.
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Michael franzese is the greatest mobster of all time" Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First time ive ever heard that ridiculous comment.
Imagine that…Bwahahahaha
Thanks for instantly establishing that nothing you say is of any value. 🤡
@@franksindoneii5410 now by "instantly" do you mean the 10 minutes it took for you to go ask your mommy to read my comment to you, then have her write such a succinct reply?
@@franksindoneii5410 and you don't need to tell her to put a clown face at the end of her sentence. Lol i know im being addressed by a clown! Lol! No legit mobster has ever made such a ridiculous claim that the son of a mobster who rates incalculably higher in every way. Is "the greatest mobster of all time". Thats such an unbelievably asinine statement i didnt even bother checking out the only person who's ever made such a stupid claim.
Are you sure you’re not confusing mobsters with gangsters, or tough guys? When you’re talking about an organization whose ultimate goal is MONEY, 8 million a week is not exactly something to sneeze at. many sources including FBI files have those numbers documented, and to think he accomplished all that in the time that he did without being a gangster or tough guy.
Tony acardo outa chicago died old
This fool keeps interrupting the guest
like if you think the connect should go on an ep of pine park
Gwim weapah 🤌
Lol
These American mafia heroes talk more and squeal louder than drunk women. Have less loyalty than Italy in WW2. They just make a joke & embarrass themselves. Becoming 0:36 'made' used to mean something, that didnt include podcasting.

This has nothing to do with Mike Francis
they will soon be bleeping poop & p
Oh plse with this nonsense
LOL not only would the FBI never sanction a murder they would be legally obligated to inform the victim that his life is in danger
Incorrect
@@franksindoneii5410 In the Fictional world of The Sopranos Tony is warned that his life is in danger which the writers lifted from a real life situation when The FBI learned a plot to kill John Gotti they informed him. same with Henry Hill and some other gangsters.
Hahaha look Greg Scarpa the grim reaper up
@@robkegee5824 LOL I figured someone was going to bring up Greg Scarpa. Go read up on Agent Lindley DeVeechio. Completely different situation. Jesus Christ if you believe the FBI would condone murder or anything this guy says than I have a bridge to sell you. I don't think the guy was paying attention to what he was saying as others have stated.
Incorrect fbi has had informants kill people in the 80’s and 90’s and they knew about it lol
