   • What Mob Life is REALLY Like - Michae...  

Michael Franzese explains to Zuby the intense loyalty and discipline required in the mafia, where the family comes before everything, including personal life. Michael shares his journey from aspiring to be like his father, becoming a "made man," and the responsibilities and dangers that came with it.

He details his rise to a captain's position, his involvement in various legal and illegal businesses, including a massive gasoline scam, and the constant legal battles he faced. Michael also discusses the impact of the RICO Act, which led to many members becoming informants and significantly weakened the mafia's power.
