    For those of you that haven’t seen this yet - I wish that I were you so that I could experience this story for the first time again. I ordered his book, which should be here some time next week, and I can’t wait until I get to read about new details that were not heard during this interview. Mark, this is by far hands down your best interview yet. Giovanni, you’ll go down as one of the greats.

      This was the story of a man who was inspired by The Sopranos, and about all of the interactions he had with CRIMINALS, pretending to be a CRIMINAL, because he enjoys the idea of being a CRIMINAL. None of the 4 hours is about helping others, it's not about the greater good, it's about his ego, because that's what allows him the talk constantly for 4 hours. When are people going to realise that criminals are sociopaths, they're willing to kill and hurt others for their own personal gains. But still all everyone sees is the Sopranos ha ha ha, which ironically is the best insight into sociopathy.

      @@samtheeagle799 Did you even watch it? It’s not about this at all. Also, what this man did undercover (take criminals off the streets who are trafficking drugs and k*lling people) was a huge sacrifice. He spent YEARS undercover to acquire necessary information to put the real bad guys away. Watch the entire video first and then comment.

      That’s what I kept thinking. He had no connections to anyone they knew but they still trusted him. I guess it shows how charismatic he was that he could play the part perfectly.

    Not to be offensive but this guy really is a gangster. They have that charisma they can talk and keep you fascinated for hours.
    He lived the life, he was one of them that's why this interview is one of the best SWU ever.

    I was born and spent the first 10 years of my life in Bayonne. It's wild to hear these stories, since I know some of the people he's talking about. John who ran the waterfront married into a part of my family and was a true gentleman. John used to take my grandfather out on his boat to fish. My grandfather was a Navy man during WW2 and loved to go deep sea fishing. John also went by another name around town.
    Anyhow, one Bayonne to another, thanks for your service and your sacrifice. By the way, did you go to St. Andrew's? I grew up there around the same time as you. I was on the East side. So I know the MC you're talking about. I used to pass by their clubhouse when I was little to go to a little coffee shop across the street for sloppy Joe's as a little boy.

    I usually watch SWU on my phone while in traffic as a way to get through rush hour. Well, THIS episode had me as soon as he opened his mouth and i finished watching when got home. G, you are a cool cat! You are a true storyteller. You have a charmed life. Thank you for telling your story and thanks to your father for giving you a career goal that day he made that arrest when you were a boy. I truly hope that your wife and her family are able to rest in their hearts and mind. 911 was tragic, and I appreciate you adding that as well. Stay safe! I will def read your book. If it's on Audible, please be the narrator. God bless you and your family. Thank YOU Mark ❤

    What an amazing man, and an amazing storyteller. His willingness to speak to the downsides of his work, and the price paid by him and his family is impressive. The fact he admits regrets because he developed feelings for his targets because they were human beings who showed care and concern for him is something some former undercovers would never admit.
    I hope he, and his wife and family, will always be safe and can have peace of mind. I also hope our government adequately rewarded this man for his sacrifice, which I have reason to doubt.
