🎙️ VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Your life intersected with people like John Gotti? I knew John well. I liked John. Socially, he was great. You know, at drinks room, we would go to Elaine's ad places like that. It was a lot of fun.

He was very difficult in business 'cause he could never lose an argument. He always had a win, so it was tough to deal with. But I liked John, and you know, I have a certain amount of respect for guys that stood up until the end.

But when I was proposed into that life, and the first time I sat down with my boss at the time, he said to me, "Michael, here's the deal." From now on, you're on call for us 24 hours a day, seven days a week." He said, "If your mother is sick and dying and you're at her bedside, we call you to service. You leave your mother and you come and serve us. From now on, we're number one in your life, before anything and everything." So if you're agreeing to leave your family because you took an oath, it's evil. It's evil, you know? Yeah, okay, you're a stand up guy, but look what you did to your family.

I have to say Michael looks absolutely fantastic for a man nearing 73 years of age 👌

[timothyscavo]

Agreed. Many mobsters were very likable and kind personally. Some were enormously generous to needy charities. But none of that changes who mobsters are. They're evil.

There’s so much context people don’t see in so many situations.

[WilcoWalstrøm]

That’s Michael Franzese, he was in the mafia.

[Travis-pvvj]

They also take an oath under god to their wives yet constantly cheat on them😂🤡

[danieldougan]

Never mind all the murdering and busting kneecaps.

[Suzanne-tl]

Michael never even took care of his mother Tina. Mike is such a liar and hypocrite.

[StroBossMan]

No, really. I left my family quick for JESUS

[GuidoLuzzi]

He never knew John Gotti. This man is a liar. He also said he knew Gravano from the street and Sammy that he never met him then.

Swear no oath. The only acceptable oath is to swear your heart nd soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. Thats all.
