Well, let's put it this way.

You know, a lot of I had a lot of bookmakers around me that were taken, you know, obviously taking bets illegally at the time.

And, you know, the last course of action is to hurt somebody because if somebody is in debt to you, you want to you want them to pay you.

It's only if they're, you know, doing something like so obnoxious to you that, hey, you've got to teach this guy a lesson.

But it's not the first course of action.

At least with me, it wasn't.

And with most of the people that I knew at that time, certainly not with my dad, that wasn't the first course of action.

But did it happen at times?

Yeah.

I'm not going to say it didn't.

And, you know, there was kind of two different categories, I would say, in that life.

You're either a racketeer or you're a gangster.

Give you an example.

In our family, we had 115 maid guys at that time.

This was after I took the oath.

115 made guys.

Out of that 115, maybe 20 of us were real earners.

We were bringing money into the life.

20.

The other 95, who's got a no-show job?
