      @@rodbingaman6985 Well, I'm fully conscious I'm going to look like an arrogant a**hole, but I feel like I need to say it: Phil Leotardo compromised, he never used the word sacrificed. And Frank Vincent looked like the Shah of Iran, who was a ally of the USA during his time, unlike the regime that followed his downfall.

    I think anyone who criticises Michael for not being as familiar with the show as they’d like are truly missing the point. The point of these videos isn’t about him being a superfan of The Sopranos, it’s about the insights from someone who actually lived that life. I hope we get more of these episode breakdowns.

      Franzese doesn't seem the type to really watch many movies or tv shows anyway. We're talking about a man who has never even entertained the notion of watching an episode of the Simpsons and was visibly confused when watching a clip from it. He has more important shit to do with his time, always has.

      My life is usually also pretty boring my friend, even though I'm lucky to not have had injuries so far, still being young, quite good looking and with a good degree. It's all dull and tedious anyways, chasing paychecks every month, not much social life any more, especially since covid struck and killed many things forever. It was not supposed to be like that. You are not missing on that much if I think about that. Most people I know are living boring lives too, although many of them fool themselves that it's actually good, they are afraid to face the facts. Anyways, good luck.

    he DID know the tickets weren't legit, but he thought they were safe. They werent stolen, they were bought fraudulently during a bust-out under the guise of a promotional item. Just before he dies, Big Puss actually mentions he'd informed the FBI about "the scatino bust-out", so he got caught because of him.

    But Michael is so well articulated, well spoken and man is he captivating. There’s just something magnetic about this guy.
