41 YEARS later…. So blessed to have a marriage that persevered through all the challenges my former life presented. ❤️❤️

SHOUT “JESUS” FROM THE MOUNTAINS…. Jesus is our King! The only true “MAN’S MAN” that ever lived. Praise Him! 🙏👊

People, last week my brother and I went back to the beginning. This week we get to the part you’ve been waiting for — and I’m going to let him tell it himself. Why John wore a wire on our father. Not the version you’ve read, not the version the papers wrote. His. You can call my brother whatever you want. Hear him out first. Face to Face With My Brother — The Son Who Testified Against Our Father (Part 2) This is Part 2 of 3. Part 3 drops next week. #MichaelFranzese #JohnFranzese #SonnyFranzese #FranzeseFamily #MobFamily 📲 Text me your thoughts about this Interview: my.community.com/michaelfran… (424) 325 0921

JESUS OF NAZARETH - The only true “Man’s Man” that ever lived. And the Savior of the World! All the glory goes to Jesus Christ for the Man He was and the Savior that He is! 🙏🙏👊👊

HEY DADS…. ISN’T IT SO VERY HARD to give our baby girls away? Especially when we have been with them uninterrupted since birth. My daughter, Julia, on her wedding day in Lake Como in July! BEAUTIFUL!🙏❤️

People, I’ve told my story for over 30 years. Today you’re going to hear the side of it I couldn’t tell — because I didn’t live it. My brother John is finally at my table. Same house, same father, same life... seen from the other side. You may know his story — and believe me, we’re going to get to ALL of it — but it starts where WE started: growing up as Sonny Franzese’s sons. I can’t sit down with my father anymore. So this sit-down, with his other son, might be the most important one I ever do. This is Part 1 of 3. Part 2 drops next week — and that’s where we get into the part of John’s story you think you know. If you or someone you love is fighting addiction — my brother is living proof it can be beaten. Don’t give up on them. #MichaelFranzese #JohnFranzese #SonnyFranzese #FranzeseFamily #Addiction #MobFamily

People, this one is emotional for me. Four years ago, my youngest daughter Julia went through the unthinkable — she lost someone she loved, in our own home, to a pill laced with fentanyl. When she sat down with me back then, she could barely talk about it. Today, my little princess is back at this table — as a married woman. And I had the privilege of officiating the wedding myself. We talk about everything: the three years where she was surviving instead of living, why she refused to settle, how her faith carried her when she couldn’t hear God at all, the moment Tyler walked in — and why she almost passed on him — what marriage has already changed, and the conversation about fathers, daughters and what a man owes his family that I know some of you are going to blow me up for. Good. Tell me in the comments. If you or someone you love is struggling with loss or addiction, please — talk to somebody. That’s part of why we share this story. #MichaelFranzese #JuliaFranzese #FentanylAwareness #Faith #family

People, a couple of years ago I ranked mob movies and shows together — today, it’s TELEVISION ONLY. The top 10 organized crime shows ever made, ranked by a guy who lived what they filmed. I knew Joe Colombo personally. I knew the real guys these characters are based on. So when I tell you a show got it right — or got it dead wrong — I’m not guessing, people. I was there. Tell me why I’m wrong in the comments, give me YOUR number one, and tell me what I left off. And stick around after the rankings — I get into which shows actually capture the life, and my honest problem with how some of them use violence. Best and worst. No mercy. Salute. 🍷 #TheSopranos #TulsaKing #Mafia #MobShows #PeakyBlinders #MichaelFranzese

People, I knew the real Greg Scarpa. We were in the same family — I was close with him, and his son Greg Jr. and I were made on the same night. So when Mark Wahlberg sits down with me after playing Scarpa in “By Any Means,” I told him straight to his face: you made him look NICER than he actually was. “By Any Means” opens in theaters Friday, September 4th. It’s dark, it’s violent — but that’s exactly who Greg Scarpa was. Go see it, then come back and tell me if I’m wrong. And stay tuned, people — my sit-down with my friend Greg Scarpa Jr. is coming next, and after that, my full review of the movie.

Great sitdown today with MARK WAHLBERG, talking about his role as Colombo capo, Greg Scarpa, in his new movie, “By Any Means!” He did a great job portraying the person I knew well. Mark’s a class act! A real gentleman. Movie opens 9/4 nationwide.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked about the cooking scene in Goodfellas. “Michael, did you really eat like that in prison?” People — I knew all those guys. All of them. And today I’m finally recreating that iconic prison dinner — the gravy (NOT sauce, and I’ll tell you why we called it gravy), the pasta, the whole scene. I’ll tell you what we REALLY ate on the inside, how close the movie got it, and the one thing they got completely wrong. While I’m cooking, I’m sipping my wine and answering your questions about the life. I did the time so you don’t have to — all you gotta do is watch.
