Club Random with Bill Maher
Michael Franzese | Club Random

Henry Hill never walked into the back of the Copacabana. Henry, he never looked so good as he looked in that movie. I knew Henry very well and I happen to like him, but Henry was a problem person. He was either a drug addict or an alcoholic at the same time. He didn't have the stature... that they showed him to have in that movie. But he wasn't even Italian. No, he was a maid. He was a maid.

Like at the Gap. Would you like to talk to one of our sales associates? Well, that's what they call him. He was an associate. He didn't take the oath. But the movie was fairly accurate. It was fairly accurate. Except for that part, huh? He wasn't a mocker like that. He wasn't one of the big ballers. No. Okay. But was he a good earner? No. Not a good earner? You got to be a good earner.

He wasn't a good earner. He got involved in drugs, which he shouldn't have done. What makes a good earner? In that life, you had two different kinds of people. You had the racketeers, and you had the gangsters. The racketeers were the guys that brought the money in. You can consider me a racketeer.

The gangsters, see, I was fortunate, and some of us were, where we knew how to use the life to benefit me in business, to benefit us in business. The gangsters just didn't have the capability of doing that. So they did a lot of the heavy work. Let's put it that way. Heavy work. And I'll give you an example. In our family, the Colombo family, we had 115 made guys in my time.

We had a lot of associates and people, but we had 115 made guys. Out of those 115, 20 of us were really honest. Really? Yeah. The other 95 who had a no-show job, who got a union job, who's trying to scrape out a living. That was it. And why weren't they let go? Like they would do a GE every year, cut out the bottom 10. No, you can't because once you're in, you can't, you can't.

Well, that's what they say. But what sort of pressure do they put on you to be a better earner? If they know you can't, they don't. Really? Yeah. But like if, you know, some other work had to come out, you had to do that. Hmm. And what would you say the perks are? Like what, what, Like, okay, say Henry Hill didn't get to go into the Copa.
