Franzese is happier now that he has left that life.
He is actually there for his family. He isnt locked up
On a 35 year stretch.
He saw 1st hand how the mafia life can.destroy families.

Gravano appears to really miss that life. You can tell it
In.his voice when he talks of the past.
Gravano bought into Gottis vision and where did it get him?
Gotti wanted Gravano to pay for Gottis out of control ego
And inability to stay 2 steps ahead of the Feds.
Gotti made the Feds job easy bringing him down.

Franzese like it or not is looking ahead. Gravano is still stuck
In the past.
