She vets them all.

Well, this was, I mean, it is a joke in the show, but it is.

She told me, and this is true, she said, you just tell people that movie maintains harmful stereotypes about Italian Americans.

so when this conversation happens is it all at once um does she rip the band-aid after your cousin no no no no no she withheld a lot of stuff she basically told me what i needed to hear uh in her head at the time so that's when she told me he she was like she didn't tell me how he died but she said he wasn't a regular guy he was a made man in a crime family yeah

But I kept from that.

I really didn't know what that meant.

But I also only knew how heavy that was for my mom to say.

Did she seem relieved?

She seemed relieved, but then she also seemed very panicked because before that, there was no chance of me letting out the secret because I didn't know about it.

And now there was.

So she was very adamant that I never tell anyone.

That was her big thing.

And it seemed so serious.

It kind of did.

Yeah.

Yeah, she never told me the exact family.

I would find this out later.

And they were an affiliate of one of the families.

No, I never... It was because of the amount of fear that was in her voice about never tell this to anyone.

I didn't want to pry for... I didn't want to become more interested in it.
