      *@ Mr. Gravano,*
      Forgive me if you have already discussed this. I was curious as a man who knows VERY LITTLE about the mob (referring to myself obviously), what a man as deeply knowledgable as you about the mob, thought of the story of Frank Sheeran. No disrespect to the actor De Niro, but it seemed like he was warned by credible sources, that Sheeran had some drinking problems, was not well thought of in the sense of a "hitman" and that the odds on Sheeran being the man who killed Hoffa was very very minute. As a person who doesn't necessarily "like" the mob, but is a fan of labor Unions and the plight of "the working man" (I think if you think of your father you obviously understand this) I thought it was kinda disrespectful, and really rather simplistic to think Sheeran was the assassin of Hoffa, when there were at least *TWO* other theories, which had much more credibility to them. Do you have any thoughts on this, or just see it as a "film", a "work of art" by Scorsese, not to make too much out of whether the root story was anything near to accurate, or not?? I know in many ways Hoffa "kind of" signed his own death warrant, still it seems insulting to think that a guy like Sheeran was the guy to kill a man like Hoffa.

    This is the most honest I think I’ve ever heard someone speak about anything, let alone a murder. This guy really does relive these memories while he’s speaking them, which adds this bone chilling intensity to the whole thing. I’m glad he decided to do this one in front of the camera too, it makes a huge difference! You don’t have to like the guy but you have to admit his storytelling ability is on a whole nether level!

      Phil Leonettis interview with Patrick bet David was as honest as it gets too. He said this one thing that was hilarious and dark at the same time. He goes “ we were gonna kill someone in the casino just to break balls , and we would have gotten away with it “. He was saying that because he was asked about being able to get away with stuff back then compared to today’s world with all the cameras

    The stories Mr Gravano tells have a human element in it that we either never think about, or don't want to think about. These men did things that we all could do if we chose that path. Planning the murder made him do it a million times in his head, so once he was done, there was no nervousness, or fear, because it went off just like he imagined it would. Couple that with the fact that he made a decision that he was gonna become part of that life, was the calming effect on him. More than likely Mr Gravano could have been good at any job he chose. That is what fascinating to people. I believe we all have it in us to do right or do wrong with equal intensity. You define yourself and what path your life will take. Sammy is showing us what the other path is like, and we all would love to know what makes the people who chose that path, tick. Stay well Mr Gravano

      I like how you call him, "Mr. Gravano." Awhile back, I responded to another commentor - possibly you - who cited their upbringing in according the man similar respect.
      We're talking about a man who chose a life of crime, became a heavyweight lawbreaker, confessed to participating in 19 murders; a man who broke his oath and testified against dozens of associates; a man who got a sweetheart deal for cooperating, but blew it to fund drug distribution to young people. A flawed man.
      I strive to keep all this in mind every time I choose to watch one of his videos. I'm a flawed man too. As you say in your comment, it's apparent he had it in him to be successful in a legitimate way.
      After all I've said, I confess that the man won my respect from the first time I heard him being interviewed by Patrick Bet-David. My regret concerning him is that, as he said in that first interview, he hasn't found Christ. That's another choice he has and no one can force it on him.
      So, I appreciate your comment, and the respect you accord Sammy Gravano. I'm not trying to force my choice on you either.

      It can be argued that it is one of many religions - I'm too old to not acknowledge that. But I'm also too old to not profess my faith in Jesus as a way of life and the Way to eternal life.

      You need not respond to this but I wonder -- what percentage of the made guys and associates sold out to the ideology of Cosa Nostra the way Sammy Gravano did? Did the 80/20 rule apply here?
      Michael Franzese talks about his dad, Sonny, and Neil Dellacroce (?) as hardcore soldiers devoted to the Life. Yet, all of them were influenced by a Machiavellian mindset - whether they read "The Prince" or not. Ambition and treachery - a willingness to advance by any means necessary - means it wasn't uncommon to entertain breaking the rules to get what you wanted.

      If Sammy says it's a Podcast, it's a Podcast. Not complicated.
