Who's got a gambling?

Who's trying to do something just to make a few bucks?

And they're the guys that were leaned upon most of the time to do the work because-

You got to earn your way in that life.

Guys that are bringing in money, they want to protect those guys.

However, a gangster never really had the ability to become a racketeer because if he did, he would be and he'd be earning.

But a racketeer has to be both because you're going to be called upon in that life to do what you have to do and you can't refuse.

And you got to be capable in that regard.

So, you know, but again, the smarter guys, you don't want to hurt people every day.

That's not what we were out to do.

You know, I did, Megan, but quite honestly, maybe it was because being around my dad my whole life or maybe I did have something in me.

Maybe I wasn't destined to be a doctor.

I don't know.

I mean, I often reflected on that myself and said, you know, how do I how did I adapt to this so well?

Because, you know, I had some success in life.

And look, I'll be honest with you.

You know, I had a very idealistic view of the life when I got into the life.

You know, they told me, hey, you know, you don't ever have to worry wherever you go in the world.

Somebody is going to have your back.

Don't ever worry about your mother, your sister, your wife, your daughter.
