I saw this Franzese guy interviewed on some show or another and while the message he was pushing was "don't be a criminal", there was a certain amount of bravado about how good he had it when he was a criminal. "It's bad, don't be a criminal, but man did I make a lot of money and bang a lot of chicks, don't be like me, but I really lived the life".
John Gotti jr. was on 60 Minutes tonight and it was the same kind of thing. Talking about "respect" and "I don't live that life no more, but if you disrespect my family..." and "I was a real big shot".
He was even talking about how "he was good with his hands" when he was a kid. It reminded me of a 50 year-old bragging about his high school football career (and in this case his dad was the coach).
