Michael I have a lot of respect for you, you do not know me so it may not mean much to you. But the bottom line is Sammy made a huge mistake he got into the drug business and with his family. So whatever way the story is being told it was a huge mistake Sammy got involved and his family was involved also which is wrong. Sammy should have known better and I am sure he knew very well that Drugs or any crime sooner or later you will get busted. So he fell in love with the money instead what he should have done is keep his family away and protect them. He didn't do that. It is just my opinion right or wrong.
Hello Michael, and God bless I've been wanting to ask you This question? Do you think It would of been better for made Guys not to marry and have children? That way feds couldn't Leverage family members and/or Wouldn't affect their marriages and children. Thank you Michael 🙏🏼✝️
ya time with ecstasy story/life was way more legit serious too than sammy the bull though, with his dumb meat head crew!!! as a texan in 80's-90's a kid i grew up round cartel guys and eme man! trust they aint afraid of italian mafia nor sammy!!!! you survived being around them as well ya crazy friend (rip)....but they wouldn't of tolerated sammy just fact!! his role wasn't as crazy as yours...i know 1st hand and fuckin leave it at that!...can't say much more...
I caught one of your videos way back when during the pandemic and was hooked. Your storytelling ability is phenomenal. Your memory of incidents decades before is amazing and the journey of your life is incredible. Worthy of a fully developed series on Netflix or similar. Salute to you Sir!
Another excellent video Michael! I must say I am really looking forward to all your new content while going back and catching up on stories that I missed. Please keep up the good work and God Bless.
Hooked on Ecst 1994-1997 bouncing from Tampa to Orlando every weekend, sometimes twice a week. It’s an amazing feeling but your brain gets scrambled in the end.
Your brain doesn't get scrambled. Whatever you think you felt should have went away after a few months or a year after stopping. If you feel like your brain still isn't working right then you were probably stupid before you took that shit
shaun was true king research kid!! he n cartel in ecstasy was is a real deal story!!! sammy w meat head morons on roids butted in sammy was not a threat as texas and mexico mexicans woulda made him gone!!! shaun dealt with them man!!! sammy is a dramatic story shaun was real life man...
Hi Mr. Franzese, I am from a small country of Brunei, a small country in Asian. Its always been a bucket list of mine to ask some questions and get perspectives from certain individuals. And with your background and reputation, I hope you can 🙏🏼. From your life experience, priciples and perspective... 1. What is the meaning of life to you? 2. What is the purpose of life to you? 3. Best life lesson in your life? Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My husband was just telling me about this and we’re probably going to watch after he gets back from picking up the dog’s food. 😂😂😂😂! He said I’ll absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!! 🫡🫡♾️♾️♾️
Awesome, can't wait to see it! Also, after watching The Ridiculous 6 movie, every time I hear the saying like a fish out water I think of the guy flopping around on the noose dangling like a fish.
A really, really sad story and a cautionary one as well. I remember hearing a judge say that crime corrodes the soul. And, you've pointed out how people's families get destroyed. And this Shawn guy lost all the money. I've seen that one a few times myself. .
Mike Pappa, haven’t heard that name in a long time. Had a few friends caught up in this nonsense. One has a great life and the other is dead. RIP Jim Leroy.
I was just going to comment about this new series on your channel! What a contrast, Michael To see your evolution into heart-centered living, creating your wine brand, your devotion to God. I'm also really loving your emails that arrive in my inbox saying, "Hey, how's it going," and dropping quick, inspirational guideposts for moving forward in life more positively... And it's not like you've completely walked away from that "Thing of ours." You still talk about it, but it's not the center of your life anymore... In contrast, there's this More capitalizing on and living in the energy of the drug trade. Continuing to remain in the lower negative energy of Hollywood programming and keeping people enthralled, thereby feeding the system that wants to keep us controlled, sick, and enslaved... Needless to say, I won't be watching it Everyone evolves at their own pace The Gravanos are on their own journey, and I wish them well... God bless, Michael ❤
I am new to your channel and a new subscriber. You do a great job brother. Great content, great story, and a man of faith. Thank you. I'm from Chicago and worked for Sal DiLaurentis (Sully D) for a while. Legit business . I'm pretty sure he's running the outfit in Chicago right now. He was always great to me. I have no stories to tell. He included me with everything he did in the family and everything. For the time I work from I never knew who he was. I liked Sal
The underworld is only successful if it's kept secret. Period end of story. If you're the son of a well-known gangster forget about it. You have no other option but to stay legit. Agents are hoping and praying you do something that can make their careers.
I totally get that b/c someone may make a conscious decision 2 do unlawful things 2 make a living doesn’t make them bad people. They love their Families the same way lawfully abiding citizens do. I also get b/c 1 makes a decision 2 do certain things that they don’t want the same 4 their children. Family business is Family business. Michael I so admire how U have turned Ur life around & have built a Family business 2 B proud of & 2 endure through the generations. Much Love & Much Respect 💖
I've found the movie reviews here to be helpful and for the most part accurate...I think that I will check this one out, perhaps even tonight. Speaking of movies, I am anxiously waiting for the March release of "THE ALTO KNIGHTS"; perhaps Michael will be privy to an early screening and will give us a review.
Sammy a stand up guy, Ive taken charges and prison time for others before as well. been 3 times and twice were for other people, and let me tell you, no one gives a shit, it was for me personally, I couldnt live with myself rest of my life knowing I told on someone so that I would be able to be free. Even though in this case I was innocent just wrong place wrong time, my criminal history made me suspect #1 to the cops, and so I just took the BS charges to get some people I thought were my friends off. But no one cared, no one wrote me in prison saying thank you for being stand up, sure word got around the streets and my credibility and reputation stood tall. But to who? Bunch of criminal junkies and thieves, cartel, homeless addicts, and other dealers? I been clean 9yrs now, my last arrest was Jan 1st 2016. I quit Heroin, Meth, Cigarettes, Booze, Pills, I was addicted to it all. Now I am clean, run a business, work another job, take care of my son, and trying to earn my family trust back. Cut everyone off, change your mind set, change your surroundings, change your circle.
Hey Michael, I got a spam call earlier today. The number was 1111111111 😂. Will have to give this doc a look. When are we going to get a doc or a docuseries on your hustle? I think HBO would do a hell of a job at making it.
My honest opinion is that Sammy was entrapped during this case specifically because, of Mike Pappa who I hear is involved with narcotics trafficking with Aaron Hernandez who faked his death because, narcotics trafficking was more important than an NFL career…
I guess it's how being a former mobster makes you think differently but Sammy bring guilty of being in the drug business isn't really determined on if the government can prove it - his guilt is determined by whether or not he was actually in the drug business! And, he was in the drug business (even if he was only helping his son). And the truth also is you don't really know if Sammy just loaned his some money to buy drugs (which is wrong) or if he was truly financing the buy.
Michael, I know Sammy is your Buddy & that’s why I’m not going to watch this episode cause I know & YOU KNOW you’re going to play it safe cause you don’t want any drama with Sammy, so I just feel your really are not going to say how you really think/ feel about the whole Ecstasy case but anyway you have a good night Michael.
Not so, my friend. If I thought the trailer stunk, I just wouldn’t review it. End of story. But HBO MAX did a good job on it. Nothing more to it than that.
They're on good terms now. They settled their differences. Also, Michael isn't saying anything here that isn't already in the documentary "Sons of Ecstacy".
Question: Did you ever have to do something with Tommy Karate Pitera or someone you didn't want to work with? In other words someone too dangerous that would cause serious problems.
You owned Billboard Live? In 1990? Pretty sure that wasn't open until around '96-ish on the old site of Gazzarri's. Only called that for a year or two then became the Key Club. You must mean '96 or so after your 'second' release from prison.
Wasn’t 1990. Later 90’s, then it became The Key Club because we severed ties with Billboard. Sammy’s name was brought up during that time. Just in passing.
I love both Sam and Mike, and I'm glad they both patched it up and became friends. God bless you both both for being men. By the way, I love the show.🤷🏿♂️💪🏿
@@michaelfranzese Respect to both of you for being able to put your differences aside. Sammy was a lil hot at times and shows a lot of growth on his end for being able to set differences aside.
I love Shaun and I’m pleased that Sammy has finally endorsed his story. I have followed Shaun for years, a top fella who is talking the talk because he has walked the walk. R.I.P. Wild Man a man amongst men . 🙏
I find it hard to believe Michael keeps falling for Sammy's nonsense. Sammy has always only cared about Sammy. That's why his family was in that position. Any part of Sons of Ecstasy that is based on Sammy's word, you can guarantee is a lie.
When i look at sammy i see a frail elderly man with sleeve tattoos that look ridiculous on any elderly man. That alone makes me feel like he's a juvenile man lost in a bad boy fantasy or something, and his humble bragging about being involved in 19 murders just kind makes it look like he's trying too hard to look though. You would think that a former underboss would command respect, but the vibe i feel from him is quite the opposite, almost like an innocuous man. I would have a low opinion of him if i passed by him on the street.
@@joaoantunes4548Sammy got his tattoos in prison. He is now a 70 odd year old man, not sure how that makes him look juvenile. He was underboss for a reason.
Really? And tell me when you met Sammy? How well do you know him? The answer is you never met him and don’t know him at all. Have zero personal knowledge concerning Sammy. Yet you talk like you do? Interesting!
I seen this, it's entertaining.. I think Sammy should have followed his own advice he initially gave (Gerrard) and get out of the industry. Well you ain't supposed to be doing anything like that on witsec anyway. But yeah the cops are going to find out who the dealers are in clubs. It's a matter of time. A lot of criminals in the past made fortunes on drug dealing just like this and sure enough someone investigates and their life is staring at whitewashed walls from their bunks in orange jumpsuits..
That's not an IRA member. Rather he is not Irish. But he is in fact Russian and with the Bratva. And he's hiding some key points from you and Colombo's.
Sean Atwood is imo one of the most interesting person in the past history of the business, his personality isn’t one of a killer, the only thing he wanted to do is EAT SLEAP RAVE REPEAT, and offcourse make some good money.
Twice did I started questioning Michael !! first time when he interviewed that bum borelo Gene don't know his name who started hustling on UA-cam after he snitched , and glorifying Sammy too much but forgot when Sammy snitched on people that never snitched on him like the chin and others and got 5 years for killing tongs a couple of dozen of people . Sammy was awarded a new life , new social security number , new name , a new house, a paycheck and was moved to Arizona . what Sammy did !!! started selling Cristal meth him and his family to kids all over America and finally got 20 years and now Sammy is making money of his story . and people chasing on on the shit on UA-cam too.
God bless you Michael. We believe in The Holy Spirit, The Lord, The Giver of Life, who Proceeds from The Father and The Son, who with the Father and The Son is Adored and Glorified. She has Spoke through the prophets. She loves us. God is a Family.

Guys not to marry and have children? That way feds couldn't
Leverage family members and/or
Wouldn't affect their marriages and children. Thank you

Another excellent video Michael! I must say I am really looking forward to all your new content while going back and catching up on stories that I missed. Please keep up the good work and God Bless.
i remember the big ECSTASY boom, especially at the dance raves in the 90's.
I'm so glad in the 90's I was in my mid 20s and avoided all the drugs. I could see the zombies of the drug life.
😂😂😂.. as someone from the side.. glad you weren't there..@redblaze1981pk76
Hooked on Ecst 1994-1997 bouncing from Tampa to Orlando every weekend, sometimes twice a week. It’s an amazing feeling but your brain gets scrambled in the end.
Yeah, I did it almost every weekend in the early 00s. Some of the most fun nights of my life, but glad my brain is still intact.
It's not addicting and resets your brain for the better.
moderation. it's abusers that give it a bad rep
Your brain doesn't get scrambled. Whatever you think you felt should have went away after a few months or a year after stopping. If you feel like your brain still isn't working right then you were probably stupid before you took that shit

Loyalty is pretty rare in general. But with criminals I'd expect less than average, they lack moral integrity to be drug dealers in the first place.

@@ExtendedDelta what has he said that is a lie?
Really? And tell me when you met Sammy? How well do you know him? The answer is you never met him and don’t know him at all. Have zero personal knowledge concerning Sammy. Yet you talk like you do? Interesting!
I seen this, it's entertaining.. I think Sammy should have followed his own advice he initially gave (Gerrard) and get out of the industry. Well you ain't supposed to be doing anything like that on witsec anyway. But yeah the cops are going to find out who the dealers are in clubs. It's a matter of time. A lot of criminals in the past made fortunes on drug dealing just like this and sure enough someone investigates and their life is staring at whitewashed walls from their bunks in orange jumpsuits..
What happened was sammy lent the money to his son to get started they all got brought in and sammy took the weight for his family
Michael is good people
I can’t get max in Canada
That's not an IRA member. Rather he is not Irish. But he is in fact Russian and with the Bratva. And he's hiding some key points from you and Colombo's.
Hoo he?
I just say a trailer for a movie called Alto Knights. Any thoughts?
Need to read the part in the Bible about usury/vigorish,"vig"..
React to ALTO Knights trailer!
Sharon isn't Sammy wife named Karen?
Sean Atwood is imo one of the most interesting person in the past history of the business, his personality isn’t one of a killer, the only thing he wanted to do is EAT SLEAP RAVE REPEAT, and offcourse make some good money.
He reminds me of George Jung, the famous Boston trafficker. Only got involved for the money and a better life, not a bad name.
He came off as a real personable guy .
If you did x in the late 90’s - early 2000’s it came from these dudes
Twice did I started questioning Michael !! first time when he interviewed that bum borelo Gene don't know his name who started hustling on UA-cam after he snitched , and glorifying Sammy too much but forgot when Sammy snitched on people that never snitched on him like the chin and others and got 5 years for killing tongs a couple of dozen of people . Sammy was awarded a new life , new social security number , new name , a new house, a paycheck and was moved to Arizona . what Sammy did !!! started selling Cristal meth him and his family to kids all over America and finally got 20 years and now Sammy is making money of his story . and people chasing on on the shit on UA-cam too.
na, they should have called him "The Englishman".
God bless you Michael. We believe in The Holy Spirit, The Lord, The Giver of Life, who Proceeds from The Father and The Son, who with the Father and The Son is Adored and Glorified. She has Spoke through the prophets. She loves us. God is a Family.
I like Franzese but whats the point watching it if you can tell it 😅
Well, it’s a documentary, my friend. It appears much better to watch than hearing me talk about it. I just provide an overview. Enjoy!
