Barbara kuklinski said in the first hbo documentary that they were a. perfect family but years later admitted that she was physically abused for years by Richard. That's typical denial of women who are being abused
Freud was weird but not to this extent
I think she was still afraid of him in the beginning of his jail sentence, like somehow he was going to get her if she say something bad about him. But later, she realized , that's it... she will never see him again and can talk freely about everything that she couldn't tell before. She try to leave him but he stab her in the back. It's hard to imagine that trauma and realizing that you are stuck to live with the psychopath. Anyway, Michael analyzing him is as good as Park Dietz's in last part of documentary.
@@sofronije74 you are absolutely right.
It happens dummy
@@sofronije74 This is totally off-topic but did you get your Profile name from the movie -Return to the Valley of the Dolls-?
I'm sure everyone is saying the HBO special the iceman tapes. But my personal favorite was the sit down with world renowned criminal psychiatrist Park Dietz. He's so calm cool and collected. At one point he turns the tables and asks Richard if he has any questions for him. When Richard asks him to basically explain why he is the way he is the doctor gives an incredible 10 minute breakdown of his entire personality. It's amazing and I highly recommend it.
Where do I find this interview
@@cheatersrocks It's on UA-cam. Just search "Kulinski park Dietz"
I watched it. The interview with Dietz. I totally agree with you. It really reveals Kuklinski in real time. I personally feel that Kuklinski was not lying about his involvements. He wasn't a liar.
As we have learned. Payment is most certainly involved in many instances. With "hired help" non- Sicilians.
@Charles RIGHT?! I miss the old HBO SO FUCKING much. Sopranos, OZ, fantastic documentaries and docuseries... it gone so far down hill. HBO was THE place to pitch a show that was not fit for regular TV. It was not afraid to be controversial. Now, they're so worried about offending anyone they don't make hardly any good original content. It's sad, really.
@@morganr4426 so true. But, why take the time to write gritty, hard hitting, thoughtful work when I can just throw any bullshit script
You're such a well-spoken person and you keep your audience engaged .This would be great for A&E.
His HBO interviews were terrifying. I remember being at the age of 11 or so and watching them on HBO.
You have to remember that Hollywood never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Neither do the MSM
@@treedog86 facts
So true
@@treedog86People who watch Fox News are the most misinformed.
@@Anonymous-rj5kw people that cry about FOX dont have anything going on in their life. I bet your parents still support you
Jackie Kennedy once said: You only have one chance to raise your children right; if you don't do that, nothing else in your life will ever matter.
It's the truest statement ever!
Wow
True, all those people i know who are the most fucked up in the head and appear to have some anti social personality disorder, have had a bad and unsafe childhood, usually physical abuse from a parent.
@@riiadejaneiro3766 yesssir and i can vouch. im better off dead tbh
Uh-huh. Well, Jackie Kennedy had a full household staff, including nannies. What she knew about knew about ordinary life wouldn't fill a thimble.
Everyone's gun ho about what you think about it but you weren't there. Algorithm aside, Mike has made a tremendous change and let's be thankful he's here talk about it. Love you Mike.
So interesting! I love your commentary and real-life recollections!
He also took out Kennedy, Lincoln, Julius Caesar and rumor has it Darth Vader.
Dont forget Hoffa!!
Rumor has it he whacked JesusChrist
Hahaha 😂
I was actually there when he wacked out Kennedy . I gave him the green light . - Tk Kirkland
Epstein too
His wife and kids went through hell with him. Watch the interviews with his wife and kids, they hated and feared him. How horrible is that when your family hates you.
When your family hates you, you have to be awful human.
I have done some really shit things to my family and they still love me, i'm not proud for those things
With a name like Satch you have to question did your family really love you. Of course Iam joking here but... It does make ya think.🤔
From what I heard he never abused his kids because it reminded of his father who he hated the most compared to his mother
@@tonydaza8504 but he threat to kill them and beat their mother all the time
Y’all don’t pay attention to shit. They said they were scared cause they could tell what was inside. But they always felt protected by him.
The iceman was a REAL killer. But also a human. He had 2 regrets. And one of them was the things he did and how he ruined his family.
Thank you for saying what you said about the destruction of the family. I had my issues with my grandma and mom, but we've since made peace and are enjoying a wonderful, loving relationship. I have cousins, though, and they are going through so many problems and it comes from their parents being bad parents. One of my cousins is an opioid addict and his mom is the one that started giving him pills and letting him drink when he was a teenager. He's been in and out of jail, on and off the streets, in and out of rehab, and if breaks my heart to see. Had his mom been more responsible then he wouldn't have gone down that path. Just my thoughts on that one. Thank you again for saying that.
Love the video brother , thank you for sharing it and Gid bless you and your family ! 🙏🏼
My father worked in a prison ministry for several years and as a mentor to young men just getting out, and he said the same thing about fatherless homes. it's heartbreaking. Children need their fathers, and they need them to be good fathers.
Absolutely. Studies have shown that for those brought up by a single parent, living with just a father is much less likely to result in drug addiction, alcoholism, depression or criminality in adolescence and adulthood, than living with just a mother.
I think as a society, we really need to question the default setting of automatically giving custody of the children to the female in a divorce situation.
Government needs to stop incentivising: sex out of marriage, babies killed in the womb, out-of-wedlock birth, children raised by single and same-sex couples.
@@IamFrozenUnderpants I 100% agree. We also need to promote self-respect and respect for life and the principle of personal responsibility!
@@suzannequinson8439 Less access to birth control pills (God only knows the side effects), a----ion (I'm not saying that word) should be illegal entirely.
It's the only way to force men and women to think twice before sex out of marriage - to grow up. It's a start at least.
@@IamFrozenUnderpants C'mon less excess to birth control will lead to more fatherless children. I agree with you conservatives on personal responsibility however if make abortion and birth control illegal you would have even more unwanted children. Plus kuklinski was a 1 in a million nut job something in the brain causes this sure background can be a factor however not a key factor
Michael Shannon is always good in every role I've ever seen him in.
Agreed
Absolutely
They're only a few actors that imo are good no matter what role they're playing even if the movie itself is a shit show. My top favorites that imho always do an awesome are Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp,Mark Wahlberg, Morgan Freeman and believe it or Will Ferrell. There are alot of good actors out there and I missed a few on this list but some actors are good for only certain types of roles where as a select few are amazing no matter who they're playing
He was a beast on Boardwalk Empire.
Yep! For sure,, his Boardwalk Empire role was awesome,,, if you haven’t seen the movie BUG, check it out... awe man he is crazy in that..
Your podcasts are great. Very interesting to listen to. Thanks for doing them.
love that he does real talk with people, that he is open about his faith, and he calls it as he sees it
I admire your stand with your faith, Michael!
The best thing mike ever did it turn to are lord and savior Jesus Christ god bless you
I love listening to Michael talk. He's such a straight up guy. He's the kind of guy you'd love to have as a friend, a stand up guy.
Also, I thought the movie sucked because there were so many inaccuracies, but I guess that's Hollywood!
Yeah yeah you can even say he's a...*goodfella*
Yes until things go bad and it was you or him and his family!!
“ straight up guy “ 🤣🤣🤣LMAO ! Michael is a great speaker & he’s entertaining but he’s a known grifter / pathological liar ... Wake Up don’t be a sucker
Lol!!!! Yeah the kinda guy that would take EVERYTHING from you if he wanted it. Stand up in deed. But now he is a soldier for god.....🙄😅 He would have taken everything and anything from you back in the day if it suited his needs. Fool.
I thank you for the insight. Michael Shannon is a professional. Amateurs can strive for it.
you can tell Michael was an OG BOSS by his mentality and his beliefs he speaks clear and calmly , what doesn't kill you make you stronger
There was an interview with Kuklinski's daughter that I read. She did verify that Kuklinski was a violent abuser---but she said that HBO agreed to pay his ex-wife for those interviews. In her version of events, Kuklinski beefed up the interviews for that reason alone, and she never thought he would have even talked to the cameras until he saw he had a cash cow for his family. Not defending the guy at all, but just saying, that was probably his motivation for making up so many tales.
It is all true, damn true
Don't let the truth get in the way of a long yarn.Especially when there is some bugs bunny up for grabs.
I totally agree. His tales/death/documentaries are to the benefit of the Kuklinski family.
He literally killed multiple people
Honestly, after watching three separate documentaries, I think this was the Kuklinski estate gift.
amazing how an ex- mob boss changed over the years into a successful legitimate business man, and an honest man
The power of God did.
@Fred Garven Doing protection services for CEOs. I agree
@@javicruzito power of God 🤣 stop the bs
I’m sure Mike was always a pretty stand up guy and pretty honest, even when he was LCN. Obviously, I’m sure he had to do “things” but I’m sure he’s always been this guy and has just been able to fully live his life as this guy post-LCN.
He grifts that is his business
Love this channel on many levels, Michael is great.
Great Video. Appreciate your insight as always. May God bless you and your family!!
I always thought that James Gandolfini would have been perfectly cast as the Ice Man. My thought is less on the Tony Soprano character but more as his character as a hit man in True Romance.
Hell yea.
Watch Killing Them Softly
Yep, but he would have had of been thinner
Absolutely!
💯
Michael, I live in South Africa where we have an epidemic even worse than the pandemic, namely gangsterism. We should have someone like you who is redressing the wrongs of your past. Continue on your current path. Be blessed.
Problem is much of this is probably allowed to go on or something like that. Where there is so much curroption everywhere in a Nation I am afraid theese brutal thugs prob. wohn't be pressured , gode after etc.
Sad thing is. Evil has won. On this plane anyways. It's won in America. The powers that be condoned organized violence while absolutely demanding an organic, grassroots protest be fully prosecuted. I understand this is practically a daily occurrence in South Africa. Also, I understand Russia offered the Boers asylum/haven in Russia. Maybe they should be taken up on that offer. God Bless
@@chriszenko6355 You a real tough guy using that word on the internet, but I'd bet my life you would never say that to an Africans face especially an African American.

Awesome show, keep up the good work and I can't wait for your new book to hit the shelves 😮I have to get one, no questions asked.
Thank you 💛 for your outstanding review of the Iceman. I haven't watched the movie about him. But from what you've said, he is a scary guy. Brutal. I'm just glad he is gone now. Thanks again Michael. Much respect for you. I appreciate your honesty! And 💛 integrity.
I met Richard once. He was body guarding the manager of the musical act I was performing with. I looked into his eyes and they were dead eyes. I will never forget it.
Well Tom, I’m glad you’re still here with us after meeting that demented monster.
Being abused by your parents that badly won’t produce a nice man.
richard was horribly abused for his whole life, his eyes may have been dead but the man wasnt evil he was destroyed absolutely.
James Gandolfini would have played an outstanding role as Richard Kuklinski.
I could see why you would think that but I think James Gandolfini was too animated to play him. Michael Shannon has a more stoic cold empty demeanor to him that fits the role of Richard Kuklinski.
@@CrazyMunky84 Maybe.....but he looks nothing like him. I think James not only looks just like him, or could be made to look identical to him, but I believe he also could have pulled off Kuklinski's personality just as well. People forget just how good of an actor James was; he was a man of many characters. It's sad to think what could have been.....I miss James Gandolfini. RIP.
@@Vladpryde one of my first thoughts when I saw the film too, and given his acting skills could have easily played the role, shame
@@Vladpryde I think Michael Shannon nailed the role personally. James Gandolfini is a legend though and master class actor. He is absolutely missed and may he rest peacefully.
kinda did in true romance
Great video Michael! Thanks.
Excellent review Michael..I fully agree with everything you said
I read the book "Iceman" and was very skeptical when he told accounts of getting rid of people by feeding them to rats in a cave in Pennsylvania. I have been a hunter my whole life and never heard of rats living in caves by the thousands. No food to hold them in a cave....they wouldn't be there. A grain silo, maybe. I called BS, so glad to see you were just as skeptical, Michael.
I actually did see a video clip that he had "allegedly" taken that showed a body in a cave getting eaten by rats. Now, I don't know if that was his doing or not, but it was pretty messed up.
He should've used pigs. Famous Canadian serial killer used them. Killed 40 prostitutes, maybe more. Their bodies was never found.
Grain silos are a yes
@@blacktigerpaw1 yup worked extremely well. Only thing you gotta do is make sure the pigs are starving
@@blacktigerpaw1 I can tell u that since the middle age, big pigs are used for that ... This is not this canadian serial Killer who got the idea 😅
All the sicilian and calabrians mafia used it as well 4 decades. ..
I have never seen him this amped up about a guy... love it Michael, God Bless
It's that Gemini energy he's got. I'm a Gemini as well and we get passionate about things👌🙏✌️
Because people have been asking about kuklinski for a long time and there's lore about him that's untrue and probably pissed him off to keep hearing about him
@@AC-mb1lp no thats nonsense
“He only killed a dozen people. He’s not a real Killer” 😂😂😂
Hey Michael if you read this thanks for your hard work, it’s inspiring.
His wife is the hero.
Him: “Yea, resuscitate me.”
Her: “... Nah.”
Holy crap, yes 😅
This is a great video. He was truly a monster. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone being real about him.
Everyone I’ve seen talk about him seems to be real about it
@sdsdsds dsdsdsdsds it doesn’t make sense because it never happened.
@sdsdsds dsdsdsdsds YOU are spot on ! 👍
I have read three books on this alleged "Iceman " Kuklinski.
The first one I reas back in 2008 was so well written that I believed every word.
A few years back I read a book where yes, every murder and especially 'contract kill' that Kuklinski boasts about was pure fiction.
As Michael F says, " no-one related tothe Italian, Irish or Russian Mafia in his prison knew who he was.
Sammy Gravano was the first to out him about 8 years ago and said, "this Kuklinski is full of sh#t !"
Just for the sake of conversation, Lookat what the German officers had there men do in world war two! Machine gun houndreds of civilans and dump them in a ditch , T hen say, i vass youst falling oerders ! ya! Both are products of Hell !
"Someone being real" about someone they never even knew. hahahaha that's a new one .lol.how could anybody be real about someone they never knew existed?
Brilliant video. Michael Franzese is a brilliant teacher/mentor. Always clear concise videos. Well done.
I just watched this video....u r so honest n sincere....n do amazing work...God bless u.
Damn Michael you went in on this guy, absolutely killed him 💀
Thank you for calling BS on Kuklinski! The guy was a piece of work I tell ya.
He is a piece of shit and I dare him to say he was friends with the Italians!!
He did not call BS. He is saying this man killed a lot of people. He is saying he is a monster. He was.
@@lordoffaiyum9727 The whole pathological liar part? That's calling out his BS.
@@lordoffaiyum9727 but he wasn't a mafia hitman.. So he was a Billy BS
@@lordoffaiyum9727 he was 100% calling it BS. Do you need everything spoon fed to you? Jesus Christ.
Thanks for sharing Love your videos
I subscribed the other day your content great work 👍 😊❤
I read in a book that said his wife and kids were terrified of him and that he could go from being a loving father and husband to a monster depending on what mood he was in
He was never a loving Father or Husband.
Loving Father's and Husband's do not frighten their Wives and Children and certainly do not murder other human beings for money or out of temper.
His family were only ever used to create an illusion to deter police from investigating him.
He was the ultimate scumbag
Michael Franzese is a great storyteller. No fluff or animation. He's got style and finesse. Very different from the others trying to make it in the Podcast industry. Wish him a lot of luck.
So true
You're awesome Mr Franzese! I can listen to you all day. Very cool that you turned your life around. God bless!!
Great review and Michael’s life insights…as a Dad I take my role very seriously and am blessed
Iceman: “See that guy walking down the street....yeah I killed him last month.”
That sums him up pretty well. Claims to of killed hundreds but in reality he abused his family and killed a few of his business partners.
Lmao
"All dem dinosaurs back then? I killed em."
That’s a good one 😆

My respect for Micheal grows every day! We are blessed to have a man of his knowledge and experience in this world!!! God bless you Micheal!!! ❤️
@@michaelfranzese Thank you for this, I always figured Kuklinski was lying about his Mafia claims.
He seemed to be like Henry Lee Lucas, he was a murderous sociopath already doing life, and figured he would make up a bunch of stuff for attention. Eventually they got movies made about them.
Roy Demeo seemed like he would be the last person to need to pay for outside help in committing murders. The stories about him and his crew are pretty disturbing.

I like your honesty Michael. I also appreciate the humility. If you were talking all about yourself like you were all of that and so special, I think a lot of people wouldn’t watch you. I saw your face on many videos before and had zero idea who you were. One day I decided to watch and I wasn’t disappointed. God bless you, man.
dude literally pretends like he had anyhting to do with mob and you talking about henosty...this guy is a scammer not honest
@@divacroft1034 how would you even know that? Sammy The Bull knows Michael is real.
Hey michael love all your videosxxx
Michael seems very intelligent and centered. Never hear him glorify the life, as a matter of fact- he always reinforces that the life is detrimental to everyone it touches. Thanks for the videos and insight!
Well said. I am very impressed by Michael and especially am happy to hear him speak at least peripherally of the gospel.
That's a good man! Different times ! Respectable man!
Which Michael 🤔
Yep. He's not over the top - he still looks at some of it with nostalgia and has respect for certain aspects of the life but he's clearly not ignorant at all.
Michael is obviously intelligent..I think he knows how to express himself in a way that resonates with people but make no mistake..he was and by default IS capable to do whatever it takes to get what he wants..I don’t need to know him personally to state that..the same way that Michael doesn’t need to know kuklinski to say what he is saying..people are all the same..one way or the other
The iceman just melted. Thanks for the video.
Amen!
Love hearing Michael's perspective.
Dear Mr. Franzese, I just came across your channel because on a school research on Richard Kuklinski (Psychiatric & Psychology) I cannot wait to hear, what you have to say about him . God bless, stay safe n healthy ❣Plus I am going to enjoy this to the fullest I guess, cause I am a huge fan of the "Godfather". seen it about a 100 times, that means, if I had a bad day and wanna put the feet up, I go to the matresses and watch one of my favourite movies 🤪 warm greetings from the german/french border
There are several UA-cam channels that cover Kuklinski. The Behavior Panel has 4 body language experts who analyze his interviews. The Darkness Underneath podcast has several videos containing hours of information methodically going through his claims. He even has a video clip I saw over 20 years ago of Detective Mccabe NYPD who stated the producers of the original HBO documentary contacted him and when he told them he investigated his claims and was able to debunk most they never called him back.✌️
I just recently found your videos and as a former meth addict and amateur criminal, you are spot on. My father and mother were drug addicts and I fell to those same temptations. Fortunately God has given me the opportunity to turn it around and in the last three years I went from an unemployed drug addict living with his reformed mom to a guy with a good job a beautiful bride to be. So I must say you are correct sir love the channel God bless
Plz don't give credit to a fantasy being. It wasn't god it was u. U gave yourself the strength, god is u. Go look urself in the mirror and thank yourself for your strong heart.
God bless. Stay strong.

"Turning these kids over to society" That is an important statement. I like the wording.
Love your channel sir.
really excellent hearing your perspective
I am speaking to you cos no one else has. I worked with psychopaths for many years and in general they tell lies. They don't need to because they have done terrible things but they do. I think The ice man killed people but never worked for the mafia.
In his book he also claimed to have killed Hoffa by stabbing him in the head with a Bowie knife and drove his body back to NJ to get crushed up in the trunk of a car and shipped overseas. He also claimed that he was one of the shooters in the Castellano/Billotti murders. If that was true, and it most certainly was not, they would have found "Iceman" in the trunk of his own car within a week of his involvement of either thing to get rid of a very expendable outsider loose end. His body count grew the longer he was in jail and had time to "reminisce". Kind of like how Henry Hill "remembered" more stories of an already wildly exaggerated life. But they both got some entertaining films made of their lives. One an absolute classic.
I felt a lot of that book was embellished because he was dying of cancer and once he was gone nobody could verify it
Don't forget, Richard was also (supposedly) part of the crew that took out Carmine Galante during the hostile takeover of the Bonnano family.
It's like he wanted to cast himself as the Forrest Gump of NY organised crime.
@@Paddy.C Ha, I forgot about that one. Well, when the mob needed someone whacked, they called the best of the best. "Iceman" had a special line in his house just for those secret missions. 10 mill a head and he worked for everyone. Wonder if The Outfit contracted him out for any hits and how many shots he fired from the grassy knoll.
The world needs a full length Michael Franzese Directed Feature Film.
So does every other mobster wanting a movie of themselves
@@chuckkiephan6880 yeah except Michael is a mob boss, one of the only survivor from the old days.
For sure I'd definitely watching it I would love to see a sit down with Sammy the bull there story's would be extremely interesting
I dont know about directing. But definitely have him tell you what the life is and do it. Don't try to make it more dramatic or typical Hollywood bs. Just listen then do it
Played by Markwalberg
I work as a high school supply teacher and you can see how some students have dark futures ahead, sadly it starts in the home and lack of structure, respect and consequences has a big impact on how they turn out.
The opposite is true in this case. Kuklinski and his siblings were raised in a strict authoritarian Catholic household, and he was beat by both his parents. His brother Florian was killed by a beating by his father (Florian unlike "Charley Lane" the teen bully he claimed to kill) actually exists and dissapears from census records. They shared a birthday.
It's people like you who think "spare the rod spoil the child" who turn people into abusers.
Very insightful.
I always appreciate that you bring the conversation back to the cross. We are called to make disciples of all nations, it’s awesome that you use the platform to share the gospel. God bless brother.
I felt like the movie made him out to be a gentle giant who just cared about his family more than anyone else, but you can tell from his interview that he was just immature and thought that killing people was funny
yeah a total psycho who lacks morality
Yes. And Family was scared of him.
Yeah i'm not sure "immature" is the right word for him. he's just another example in my mind of how you can make someone a psychopath. A brutal childhood, abuse from both parents. His brother also did life for a horrible murder.
@@GretaGargoyle yeah I said immature cause the dude would brag about killing people to his family, but no doubt that his childhood contributed to his callousness
Immature low life who hurt people with no remorse
Rumor has it that he also killed Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.
Can't wait to get your book!
This video is probably my favorite from you. It starts out with you pretty much wholly dismantling the idea that Kuklinski was a mob guy (which I wholly think he made up to get more attention), then pivots to talking about faith and parenthood.
I'm not a believer, but I can appreciate the way you believe in redemption, even though the thought of someone like Kuklinski getting to paradise makes me feel uncomfortable. Honestly, though, I don't think someone who could kill so thoughtlessly and so joyfully would ask for redemption in the first place.
Michael this is your best video yet and it's kinda cathartic to hear a Real One like you go off on a fugazi like Kuklinski. Saluti!
Ain't nothing fugazi about Kuklinski.
@@realgsdontdie5095 he's a proven liar lol
A movie about the Iceman that properly illustrated how evil Richard is starring James Gandolfini directed by Scorsese or de Palma would've been perfect.
Don't disrespect JG like that. He was way too good to play a wannabe like Kuklinski. Not to mention he's Italian. Kuklinski was a liar, never mob associated. Just a sick serial killer. If JG had played him, it would've made people think that RK was really a mob associate.
@@DracoPadilla I wasn't disrespecting him, the fuck you on about? I'm saying he could've played Kuklinski well because he's a great actor and he can act meancing and cold blooded very convincingly and effectively.
Respect to you sir for your honesty and life experience
Interview with Kuklinski was more scary than any horror movie I ever saw
Seriously. There was nothing there....just a shell with a heart and lungs.
Bruh I felt like I was staring into the abyss ... like nobody was there
True
And the scariest thing is...there's others somewhere that just like him, just never heard of. Hope on hope you never run into any of them but yeah I'm sure his not the only one of that kind in the crazy world of ours
ya the part esspecially where he said he fed living people to rats ... what a nephilim he was
I believe in one of her interviews his wife said that she always thought that her husband was a coward who took out his feelings of inadequacy on the family until she saw his hands cuffed behind his back fighting off three cops when they were arresting him because they touched her.
Great show
Love you Mike. Thank you

Bless you Michael.
Kudos for standing up for and articulating your faith. Also being real enough to admit that you don’t understand everything. You obviously understand the most important thing though.
You said in another video that when someone claims to kill truckloads of people, you either have immunity or you are a liar. You were right.
OR, they are serial killers.
I wonder if they say that so the cops stop looking for the actual other hitman just content they got the killer in jail already. I found out recently they convicted and incarcerated an innocent man as the Scarborough Rapist in Toronto so that means they just said oh we got him and stopped looking for Paul Bernardo who just moved to St. Catherines area kept raping and then murdering too of course the innocent guy accused was also a victim but of the faulty justice system instead and Pauls future victims too since the cops enabled Paul by not even looking for him anymore and framing some poor sap.

Praise nothing but thought and the animal will, and shed ideology, because your prayers insult our souls.
@@ClosedEyeVisualisations, you wrong
I'm glad Michael's talking about this guy. I've read so many mob books and none of them mentions The Iceman.
I read his book, still entertaining as fiction or non-fiction. It's good to get some clarity on it nonetheless. Very insightful, Sir.
Bullying can create a killer . So can women if you let them! Great stuff Michael ❤️
Bullying can also create cops
@@DocstantinopleBad fucked up horrible cops xx
Calm down incel
weird take but ok@@Docstantinople
@@dannydevito9056 allow me to clarify. A lot of bad cops out there that were bullied as kids. They grew to be power tripping cops. They got a little power and decided to take it out on people to make up for getting bullied as a kid.
When Michael said he never heard his name in 25 years in the life..that sealed it for me
Michael is no different than the animals he talks about, don't take his word on anything.
Wow! Just Wow. Reminds me of an old dirty car salesman I knew, who once said "there's an Ass for every seat" .
@@MikeDixieWrecked Exactly 100%
@@MikeDixieWrecked yet you’re here watching him hmmmmmmmmm 😂 😆 😂
well this is what creates politics within the gangs beuty shop talk.. i wouldnt take his word as gold bt maybe 50/50
Producers should really consider cast Michael Shannon casting in some Mob Movies, he's got that old school look and a strong villain presence.
Exactly why he was so mis cast as Elvis.
I pastor a small church in Alabama I wish we had the financial means I would love to have Michael speak at our church he is a true miracle. Thank you brother for sharing the gospel and your testimony. I can't watch much mob related because of the language but this is so awesome.
I need to stop watching stuff with bad language. I’m impressed with you that you don’t consume that kind of stuff.
How are you short on funds? You have no inventory to restock and no taxes
@@tylercarrelllearn stuff about stuff.
@@tylercarrellbecause his speaking fee is likely several thousand dollars and his small congregation probably can't put it together.
Finally something to be excited about🖤
Thank you Mr. Michaeal
Michael, I have been in sales and an entrepreneur for 20 years and "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse" is the best business book I have ever read. Thank you.
I second that!!

Thank you Michael, saved me trying to watch the movie, not my thing. I really appreciate your thoughts and comments, I know of no person who can fill in details on these subjects like you !
I did however check out the HBO series, absolutely fascinating !
Kuklinsky tells the same story in slightly different ways to different interviewers.
We in Canada have lived such sheltered lives ,,, although the family violence is widespread everywhere, I know.
Grateful everyday for all we have, the people of Ukraine never far from our minds.
Wishing you and your excellent crew and followers the very best !
You might like the documentary actually on kaplinsky , it’s quite interesting but as stated by Michael there’s no a belief infact some proof he made quite a lot of it up
@@Anthonys_S He lied about being associated with the mob because if he told the truth he would have been executed instantly for his crimes.
The Iceman Interviews were Amazing
Mike is worked up on this one. He's spot on. Never bought ice man lore
@Miles Maillet he did,,, were you not paying attention?
But it makes wonder what did Iceman do for a living.
Yeah he is lol
@@MbisonBalrog he ran a burglary ring, This is actually proven.
@@roastedcorn9219 but wouldn’t one of the families wants to tax him sorta making him an employee? Then they also know him.
A lot of psychologists broke his mind down from that interview. They said he was lying a ton through out it all. He wasn't as connected and he embellished a ton. He's a hardcore narsasistic individual.
also "the iceman" is such a bad nickname for him. my impression of him at least was an emotional hothead with a big mouth, not a cool, calm and collected "iceman" at all.
@@RobertIsraelKabakoff ahhh yes youre right, i had forgotten about that.
@@stayhungry1503 ya good point. Definately not a mellow presence. He comes across more like a time bomb
thank you for your testimony 😇😇
💙💙👏👏Gratitude for telling the total truth about this man.
