And that’s what this is. It’s vegetable soup. Of the mom. All different categories here. You had the snitches, you had the sadistic guys. You had the depressed guys. You even had a gay guy. He’s a liability and a mama loop. Hey, everyone. Welcome to another sit down with Michael Franzese. Hope everybody is doing well. All is very good. As always, very blessed on this end. And as always, my friends, I give all the praise, honor, glory, and thanksgiving to our God for that. The Sopranos. Come on. Iconic series, no doubt. All the great series that came came after the Sopranos.
It set the stage. It led the way. It was terrific. It was iconic. I didn’t like the ending, but the series was great. I get asked all the time, how do these characters really match up with the real Cosa Nostra? The real life? Is it authentic? Are they real? What’s the story, Michael? I get asked this all the time. So today I’m going to rate the characters, going to let you know what my opinion is of them and whether or not they’re, you know, the real deal or not. We got different categories. Let me read them off to you.
I took some good notes on this. We have the real deal guys that were really like my former life, like myself, because that was the real deal. And a bunch of other guys that were made guys. Solid guy. Okay, Good. Good category for people. Good soldier. Good category. Liability. Many of them, I can tell you right now, many of them. And Mama Luke, like a Mama Luke. A what? One of my favorite words. One of the favorite words of us guys in Cosa Nostra way back when, we got a bunch of characters. There was a lot of them.
Many of them were colorful. Many of them were exactly like. I’m going to rate them, do my best, and I think we’ll have some fun with it. You people love the mob stuff. I know that we’re getting a lot of different people coming on, like, a lot of different things. You can’t be all things to all people. But we do our best. And to my mob audience, we’re always going to satisfy you. I promise you that. As many things as we can come up with that are interesting and entertaining and maybe informative, and we’re going to do.
And I have to say this, people, you don’t see this about the Irish gangs. You don’t see this about the, you know, the cartels. A little bit, but not as much. There isn’t nearly as much entertaining, informative information about any other organized crime group like there is about the Mafia. Go to Nostra anyway. They do movies about it. They write books about it. They have television series about it. What could I tell you? It’s been romanticized and. And maybe glorified, maybe not glorified, whatever word you want to use more than any other organized crime group on the face of the planet.
And that’s the truth. So here we go. Let’s go with the Sopranos. Now, let me tell you a backstory on the Sopranos. 75 years, 3/4 of a century, and I’m just getting started. My birthday is the end of May. We’re celebrating it in a big way. Click the link in the description, reserve your spot, and trust me, you don’t want to miss this one. Now back to the video. I was on parole, and I was working at Universal Studios. I was on the lot with a dear friend of mine who had a production company, and he wanted me to review a lot of scripts that he was considering about the mob, including a story about my own life.
So he had me there while I was on parole. I had been violated once before. He says, michael, just sit on the lot. I’ll pay you for it. Enjoy it. We were right next to Steven Spielberg’s cottage that he had there. He said, but please do that. Okay? So I’m there just about every day. I checked in. I did that. I had to give my parole officer, you know, what I was working for, and so on and so forth. And then one day, I get a call from my agent, Jack Gilardi, over at icm. Big shot, right? He says, michael, I got somebody wants to talk to you.
And he’s got this series going called a Sopranos. And he’s doing. It was David Chase, and he was doing it for Fox at the time. He was developing it. And he said he’d like you to be involved as a consultant. He said, would you talk to him? So we had a conversation. I thought about it. I went back to my friend Howard and I said, howard, this is what this guy wants me to do. What do you think? He said, michael, I’d rather you not. You know, he says, we’re. You’re working for here on the lot and it might be a conflict.
And I said, all right, you know, Howard, I agree. So I decided not to do it. I declined. Well, the rest is history. It didn’t go with Fox. It went to HBO and became iconic. So that’s how smart I am all the time. But anyway, no big deal. So now I just enjoy the show like everybody else. Okay, let’s start again. The categories. The real deal, Solid guy, Good soldier, Liability, or Mama Luke. Now, I took my notes, you know, so that I don’t memorize every character and what. Exactly what they’re about. I’m familiar with most of them, but let’s start with the most obvious.
Tony Soprano. Okay, let me give you my. My feeling on Tony. Charismatic leader. He was pretty strong. He was pretty smart. I would say pretty innovative. A good boss, I think a good boss for who he had to deal with at the time. You know, those are the pros for him. But the cons. Come on. You saw his emotion. You saw some of the things that he did. It was unbossed, like, let’s put it that way. And. And he was visiting a psychiatrist. Now, I’ve said this many times. If there was ever a mob boss that was visiting a psychiatrist, he’d be in the trunk of his car by the end of the week along with the psychiatrist, because we don’t know what they.
What he’d be telling his psychiatrist. He’s supposed to sit down and tell him all your troubles so that he can straighten you out. So that would never happen. So that alone would disqualify him from. He’d probably be dead. He would be dead, you know, or they chase him, something would go wrong. But he. Most likely he’s gone, right? So as a result of that, I can’t put him in the real deal because that just would never happen. So I’m going to be gracious to him. I’m going to be gracious to him, and I’m going to say.
I can’t even say he was a solid guy. It’s hard to say because he’s visiting a psychiatrist. Now, did he say anything wrong to the psychiatrist? Said some things that were a little bit about out of turn, if you. If you. If you watch the show. So it’s hard to even say he was a solid guy, Even though I like this character, no question about it. But Was he a solid guy, visiting a psychiatrist, having, you know, bouts of depression, all of this kind of stuff? I don’t think so. I liked him as a character. He was a great lead in the show.
But I have to call him a liability in real life. He would absolutely be a liability to the point where he’d get himself killed. So Tony Soprano, the boss, the main character, we love the guy, we loved him, but he was a liability. No doubt about it. Number two on the list is junior Soprano. Corrado, okay. He’s an old school guy. I like some of his principal. I like sometime the way he carried himself. Although he was kind of wishy washy at times, you know, and. And some of the problems he had, you know, cons against him.
He was jealous of Tony. No question about it. His own nephew, he was jealous of him. He actually schemed with Tony’s mother against Tony. I didn’t like that. So I can’t call him a solid guy either. Even though he was old school, he was a good earner, he did have respect, but he was a crybaby. Every time I seen him, he was complaining or crying about something. And the fact that he didn’t respect or honor his family members the right way, that. That takes him out of contention for me. I would have to call him a good soldier at best.
Even though he was the boss. Let’s just say he was a good soldier because you have to know that sometimes we had our faults, but he wasn’t. He wasn’t a liability and he wasn’t going to do anything against the life. I don’t think he’d ever be a snitch or anything like that. So let’s just put him in the category of a good soldier. I next we have Johnny sacks. I don’t like Johnny sack at all. I gotta be honest with you. He was temperamental. His attitude and his disposition was never good. I don’t know how what attraction he’s seen in his wife, quite honestly, but I have to admire him for being so defensive of his wife, you know, she was overweight, whatever.
And he was loyal to his wife. So that’s good. You know, I believe in that life. If you’re. You’re loyal to your wife, you’re going to be loyal to people in the family. I think you know, that’s true and maybe that’s not true also. I mean, I’ve seen it both go both ways. Doesn’t necessarily mean that much. Look, a lot of guys are going to be honest with you that love their Wives and everything. They still had, you know, gamadas on the side, but they were still good in the family, I would say. So where would I put him? You know, let’s just put him as a solid guy.
I think he was solid, you know, not a likable guy, but a solid guy. Okay, let’s move on. Carmine Lupitazzi, Senior. I kind of liked his character. He was old school, you know, he wasn’t easily drawn into petty conflicts, if I remember. But I don’t know how much management control he had over the younger guys. He wasn’t likable, you know, in that life, to a degree, you got to be likable. You got to treat your men the right way. You know what, this may sound crazy to you, but I’d have to call him, you know, the real deal, because I knew a lot of guys like him.
So he was a real guy. He was a real old timer type of guy. He would have been loyal to the family. I don’t think the guy would have ever cracked or betrayed the life in any way. So even though he wasn’t likable, he was the real deal as far as a made member of that life. My opinion. All right, again, not likable. I wouldn’t see him in the position of boss, but I think he was. He was the real deal, real deal type of guy. Next we got Phil Leotardo. Old school guy, tough guy, real deal, probably a killer, But I think he was kind of petty in certain ways.
And I wouldn’t like him as a boss, quite honestly. Wouldn’t see him in that position. He was vengeful. You don’t like vengeful guys in that life. They’re dangerous, you know. You know, pretty judgmental in my. In my opinion. And, you know, one thing my father always taught me, and it really helped me a lot in that life, he said to me, mike, always be the last one to pass judgment on somebody. Always. Because when your turn comes, and it will come, they will judge you the exact same way. If you were fast to point the finger at somebody, they judge you the same way.
I think Phil Leotardo was that type of guy. He was vengeful. Don’t cross him. You know, he didn’t have any. Any leeway in that regard, but he was a tough guy and he was a shooter. I’d have to put him. I think he was a real deal in that life. I knew many guys that were kind of like him. So as far as his character was concerned, let’s call him the real deal, not likable. I don’t think he would have been a good boss. He was the boss here. I didn’t like him as that, but he was the real deal in that life, portrayed as the real deal.
Okay. Silvio Dante, you know, he was. He was an interesting character. He’s really a musician, you know, he was. To me, he was kind of comedic in a way for me, really. I mean, I didn’t. I didn’t get him. But, you know, he was loyal to Tony, which is a plus. He was. I don’t think he was management capabilities. I really don’t. But I would call him a solid guy because he was loyal to Tony. He wasn’t really bright, in my opinion, and the way he expressed himself sometimes, it wasn’t very attractive. But I would say he was a solid guy.
You know, good soldier, solid guy. You can put him in either category. You know, let’s say he was a good soldier. I put him in that regard because he was loyal to Tony and he didn’t waver in that regard, and he tried to be fair from what I remember of his character. So let’s. Let’s say he was a good soldier. I think that’s a good spot for him. Paulie Walnuts, one of my favorite characters. I just like him. I like the way he carries himself. Very, very loyal, tough guy, strict enforcer. I don’t think he was the brightest guy.
Definitely old school. No question about it. He seems sensitive, you know, to me. I don’t. I don’t put him in the upper tier of wise guys in that regard. He’s not management capability, as far as I’m concerned. But let’s. He could go into either solid guy or good soldier. Let’s put him in as a solid guy. Because I think this guy. I mean, honestly, in his past, he wouldn’t have played a different character because he was a street guy, got arrested several times. He was part of that life. So his character was portrayed as a solid guy, and I think that’s what he would probably like to be known.
Solid guy, good soldier, pretty much the same. If you’re a good soldier, you’re a solid guy. And if you’re a solid guy, you’re pretty much a good soldier. Doesn’t mean you’re smart or the best or you’re a leader, but either way, they’re interchangeable. So let’s give him a solid guy category. I liked him. Christopher Moltisante. I didn’t like this character at all. I don’t even Think he should have ever gotten made. I think Tony made a mistake making him. He was a drug addict. I don’t like the way he treated his girlfriend. He was wishy washy to me, you know, I would have never made him if he was one of my guys.
He wouldn’t have got his stripes, no doubt about it. So for me, he was a Mama Luke. Nothing better than that. I mean, really, I don’t know what Tony saw in him other than that he was related. But to me, he would have stayed as an associate and I would have been concerned about him. He’s wanting to make movies. I mean, Mama Luke, without a doubt. I never liked his character. Never liked it. Okay, Bobby Bacala, interesting character. Very loyal to Junior. I think it was a tough guy, you know, but he had some weaknesses about him.
You know, he was Janice’s boyfriend for a while. He had kind of a weakness there. Not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, he was. Seems to be a good family man. Good, loyal guy. You know, again, kind of hard to categorize him. I don’t know if pushed, if he would have stood up. I would say with him, I put him as a good soldier. You know, he. Because of his loyalty to. To Corrado. Good soldier, you know, an impressive character. I don’t think so. To me, he would have been, you know, he would have. Could have been in my crew, but I wouldn’t have put a lot of stock in him.
Okay. Furio, the one real Italian or Italian from Italy in a group. Serious killer, you know, made guy. Obviously, I’d have to say, you know, one problem, big problem was his kind of emotional attachment to Carmela. Very dangerous. I don’t even know how he was on the fringes of that. That should have been stopped right away. Without a doubt. Putting that aside. And it’s hard to put that aside because that stuff gets you killed. Without a doubt. But he was a serious guy. He was a solid guy in that regard. Because of his little movement with Carmela.
I can’t put him as a good soldier because that’s a. No, no. No question about it. But was he a solid guy in that life? I would say yes. So I’d have to put him as a solid guy. But fortunately, it didn’t lead to any more with Carmela, because that would have got him killed. No doubt about it. You don’t mess with that. Not only with the boss’s wife, but with anybody’s wife or girlfriend or daughter or sister or mother. You know the deal. But, you know, he was From Italy. He had old school ways. He was a killer.
He was serious, no doubt about it. So let’s put him down as a solid guy, okay? Ralph Cifaretto. Interesting character, you know, Definitely a killer. Vengeful, mean hearted, abusive of women, good earner. But not a trustworthy guy in any regard. Big hot head, you know, he killed that girl in a parking lot. I’ll never forget that. And then made an excuse for it. He was absolutely a liability. A guy like that is going to get you in trouble, get himself in trouble. You don’t want people like that. You don’t want these hotheads around that can do anything at any time, you know? I told you this.
The Roy demeos, the Greg Scarfas. Even though you look at them as tough guys and good for the family, they’re basically liabilities. Because when your first instinct is to fly off the handle and pull the trigger, like Roy DeMaio, he was a serial killer. Scarfa. Serial killers, they’re no good in the end. And in the end they’re going to get killed because people don’t trust them. You say, what do we need this guy around for? He’s a loose cannon. He’s causing us headaches, you know, we don’t know what he’s going to do. Their liabilities. Greg Scarfa became a liability.
Hurt a lot of guys in the family. Roy Demeo became a liability. Hurt a lot of guys. Maybe not intentionally, I mean, killed a lot of guys intentionally. But brought a lot of heat to the family. No good. So I consider this guy was a loose cannon, a nut job, a liability, without a doubt. And he met his demise in the end. He was a sadist. Richie April. I didn’t like this guy at all. Didn’t like his character. Wouldn’t have liked him on the street. Would have tried to avoid him as much as I could. He was a sadistic guy.
Never had a smile on his face. Treated Janice like garbage. Never really adapted to Tony’s rule. The boss, vengeful to me, untrustworthy, definitely a liability. Didn’t like this guy at all. I would have chased him on the street or kept my distance from him for sure. You know, these guys, I mean, old school, yeah, he was a killer and all this kind of stuff. But again, these are not the best guys for that life, you know? Again, when we took an oath, remember this? We took an oath of omerta. That wasn’t an oath to lie, steal, murder, cheat, kill.
Be a sadist, be angry, be mean all the time. That’s not what the oath was. The oath was an oath of silence. Never to betray it. Never even to admit that the life existed. Never to betray anyone. Obviously, it wasn’t an oath to do all these other things. Did that happen as part of the life? Yes. But guys like Frank Costello, even Joe Colombo, smart guys. Murder wasn’t the first thing on their plate. But violence wasn’t the first thing. Lucky Luciano, the same thing. It was only the last resort. And that’s how this life should have been run.
Last resort. When you want violence as the first act, the first, you know, conclusion, it’s wrong. It doesn’t do the life any good. He was one of those guys, so I definitely make him a liability. Didn’t like him in any way, shape or form, unfortunately. There were too many guys like him, no doubt about it. But they didn’t do the life any good. Let me tell you something. A guy like John Gotti, you know my feelings with John. But did he do the life any good? Not really. You have to be honest about that, you know, you can’t parade around and I’ve said this many times, and thumb your nose in the face of the government.
There’s nothing to gain in that. Nothing at all. Who. What are you trying to prove? That you don’t like the government? None of us like the government at that time. But we’re supposed to be a secret organization, quiet. Do things in the shadows, undercover. We’re not supposed to thumb our nose in anybody’s face. That’s not what we’re supposed to do. So people that did that, you know, actually hurt the life. Now, I got to tell you this about my father. My father was extremely high profile, but he didn’t want it. He didn’t cause it. He didn’t try to thumb his nose in the face.
My father would drive around in a red Plymouth Valiant, not to be noticed. Of course, he couldn’t help it. For some reason, they. The government was so attracted to him. But he didn’t like it. He didn’t want it. He was more old school in that regard. I attracted attention because of my lifestyle. I didn’t want it. I didn’t want to dumb my nose in the face of the government. I didn’t ever want to see the government. I didn’t want to bother with them in any way, shape or form. But sometimes you just couldn’t help it when you’re high profile and you’re out there and you’re making money.
You know, maybe that was my mistake. I should have lived like you know, the old timers put the money under the mattress and live like a pauper. It wasn’t my way, you know, that’s why I became such a target. It wasn’t my way. But that’s not smart in every respect. You’re going to pay the price. There’s no question about it. So anybody that does that, no good. It’s no good. So, Richie, April. For me, a liability. Guys like that are liabilities. All right, Vito, spot of four. Gosh. What do you want me to say about this guy? Number one, he was gay.
You know, you don’t do that in that life. Absolutely not. Number two, he became an informant, you know, so a liability absolute. He’s a liability. And a Mama Luke. He’s a Mama Luke for being gay and being part of that life. He should have ran as far as he possibly could, okay? And he’s. He’s a liability for being a snitch and being. He was just weak. Absolutely weak, you know? So what category do we want to put him in? Let’s put him. Let’s make him a Mama Luke first for being gay. And I’m not trying to insult anybody that’s gay, but in that life, you cannot be gay, period.
Especially. He wasn’t openly gay, but in a way, he was. You can’t be gay. So just for that, you got to be a Mama Luke to even stay in that life, you should have ran away. Go do your thing if that’s what you want, but you don’t continue in that life. So he’s a Mama Luke. Jackie April Senior. You know, I have to say, he is one of my favorite characters in every mob movie. I just like him. He’s so natural. He’s so. He just plays the role like he’s not even acting. I love this guy as an actor, without a doubt.
And I think he did a good job, you know, as the. As the boss. And the problem he had is that he was sick. And when he left, he never. He never had succession in place. He didn’t do it the right way, but you can’t really hold that against him. All right? That was just a weakness. He was sick. Who knows? But I liked him a lot as a character, and he was a guy that I would have. I would have warmed up, too, you know, as far as friendship or whatever. So I would put him as the real deal.
I just love his character, you know, in any movie that he’s in, I just love his character. As a matter of fact, I’ve already insisted the Movie that’s being developed on my life, which we’ll get into. I’m not making any announcements until the appropriate time, but it’s coming. I want him to play a role. That’s how good he is. I want him to play a role. Okay. Tony Blundetto, good character, serious guy. He was a killer. No doubt about it. Old school. So in that regard, he was a true mobster. No doubt about it. But the prison time killed him.
He did a lot of time. He killed Phil’s brother, which wasn’t good. Could have started a war. You know, I don’t think he was that smart. I think he was a vengeful guy. Guys that are vengeful in that life, man, no good. They’re thinking of themselves. And I’m not thinking of the welfare of the family, the benefit of the life. I mean, you know, solid guy, good soldier. I’d have to put him down. I’d say he was a solid. No, no, no, wait. I can’t do that. Because after prison, he wanted to go straight, which meaning he wanted to leave the life.
So while he was in it, he was solid. Okay. But then he leaves the life. So, good soldier, liability, man, this is a tough one. He could fit into different categories, you know, I think I’d have to put him as a liability, because if you’re going to leave the life, leave the life. That’s it. You know, you don’t. You don’t. You can’t have one foot in and one foot out because that makes you a liability. The prison time made him a liability, too, because he couldn’t really control things while he was in there. Killing Phil’s brother started a lot of trouble.
I would make him a liability, no doubt. All right, so we got to the end. I don’t know if you agree with my assessments or not. Remember, these are, you know, fictional characters, but how close they are to realistic guys in that life. I did my best with them, I’ll be honest with you. But again, some of them could have fit into different categories. You know, the show in itself, Was it really realistic? To some degree, yes. To a lot of degrees, no. You know, and I think we see that in the characters. Once again, the biggest glaring issue in that life, couple of big ones.
Number one, Tony visiting a psychiatrist. That could never happen. And some of you are going to come back and say Frank Costello visited a psychiatrist. He did once, but it was a ploy. It was, you know, because of his legal situation, it was a ploy. It wasn’t real. He didn’t continue in it. And if he had, they’d have whacked him out, guaranteed. So it was a ploy. You cannot have depression in that life. You cannot be emotionally unstable. I told you about one guy, you know, I’m not going to repeat the story, but the guy that had killed his father years earlier and couldn’t go into his house for 30 years because he saw the ghost of his father, it led him into depression at times, too, you know, but he.
He didn’t do anything to hurt the life after that. You know, you can’t. You can’t be, you know, in bouts of depression in that life. You just can’t. You know, you got to be made for that life, to succeed in that life and to not be a liability, you have to be made for it. And if not, you got to get out or you will be a liability. No question about it. So Tony, even though he was a likable character in many ways. Some ways, you know, I mean, he turned. He turned you off with things that he did at times, but he was just a likable character.
But. But he wasn’t really a good boss in that regard. And he would have been killed for visiting a psychiatrist. It would have never lasted. But it was a good thread for the series. It was something different. You know, it’s the reason I like Tulsa King, because it’s something different than what we ordinarily see. He goes out to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where there is no wise guys, and he starts a whole family, you know, out there and a whole Bugatta out there. You know, it was different. Different twist. And I like Stallone in that character because it’s something different if you’re going to portray it in, you know, in movies or television.
But. So it was a good thread for the show, but in reality, no good. That’s why I put him in the category that I put him in, you know, so. But again, the series was iconic. The characters, many of them were very, very entertaining. And really, that’s what it’s all about. They’re not trying to duplicate the life in the sense of it being extremely realistic, because if they were trying to do that, they would fail in this regard in the Sopranos. But to make. Make it entertaining, to have characters that are different and entertain you, they did a good job, and the storyline pretty well worked.
You know, they jumped in different places, but it pretty well worked. And they made a variety of characters. But, you know, a friend of mine used to say, it takes all kind of vegetables to make vegetable Soup. And that’s what this is. It’s vegetable soup of the mob. All. All different categories here. You had the snitches, you had the sadistic guys, you had the depressed guys. Even had a gay guy, which I never saw in that life. I don’t care what anybody says. I never saw it. And I don’t know anybody that can be accused of being gay.
I know one person they accused. Now, I don’t think it’s true, but whatever. Okay. Never seen it in that life. But anyway, that’s it. So we have some fun with these things. That’s my assessment of the Sopranos. Do you agree? Do you disagree? A lot of people that never knew the life are going to teach me what I did right or wrong in this. I get it. It’s okay. Have some fun with it. I don’t take it personal and I don’t take it serious. If you disagree and you think somebody else should be in a different category, tell me why I might agree with you.
Maybe I missed something. I haven’t memorized the entire, you know, series. Are you doing this from memory? So come at me if you can. So, my friends, that’s it for today. How do I always leave you? Same way. Never going to change. Be safe, be healthy. I’m going to be speaking about our health. I’m doing something right now that I’m seeing results with and I’m letting it go a little bit longer. I want to share it with you, but I’m seeing some results. I’m not sponsoring it in any way, but I want to share it. Same way I shared stem cells with you.
Same way I shared the red light therapy that I think is working also. And then I’m going to be sharing a another concept with you that I think is going to benefit you. So God bless each and every one of you. Families, friends, neighborhoods, communities. God bless America. I mean that from a heart. Yes. I’ll see you next time. Stay tuned. If I haven’t invited you already, I’m inviting you now to our school platform, our membership platform. You know, you’re going to really benefit from it. I’m telling you. You’re going to get a lot of me.
I put courses in there on business, on negotiation, on leadership. We do zoom calls a couple of times a month. We even do Bible studies. I hold Q and A’s for all of you that are interested in the mob life or anything else that you think I might be able to help you with. But more than that, it’s a community of like minded people that are really benefiting one another. People are doing business with one another, they’re becoming friends. It’s just a great platform. It’s something that we’re missing, I believe, this sense of community. We’re missing it in this country.
We’re trying to bring it back. So I invite you, and I gotta tell you this, this is an offer you really shouldn’t refuse. Go on these platforms, they’re going to charge you an arm and a leg. We charge 10 bucks a month and really that’s just to maintain everything that we do there. We want you in there, we want you to enjoy it, and we want you to feel that sense of community again. So if you want more of me, go to michaelfrancise.com family an offer you shouldn’t refuse.
