I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude towards my subscribers and everyone else on here. I never had a video make it to over a million views until this past Friday and it would not have been possible without you guys and your support. Thank you!

I just finished reading 'I Heard You Paint Houses' which is the book that the movie 'The Irishman' is based off of. What do you think about Frank Sheeran's claims?

Hey everyone. If you have a chance please check out my wife's new YouTube channel called 'Life Stories of the Unknown'. youtube.com/@LifeStoriesoftheUnknown

It just launched today with two videos. The first one is an interesting story about a Dutch artist/art dealer who sold 17th century paintings to the Nazis and faced a death sentence after the war for being a collaborator. The only problem was that the paintings were forgeries that he had been making and selling for years which turned him into a multi-millionaire.

In your opinion, which one is the best season of the Sopranos? I can only put four options in the poll so if you like season 1, Season 6, or Season 7 (which is called Season Six Part 2) then let us know in the comments.

My vote goes with Season 5 but Season 3 is a close second.

This week's video is going to be Cosa Nostra Adjacent. It's going to cover the last days of the Irish mob in New York as the power shifted from the independent gentleman gangster Mickey Spillane to the Gambino Family allied Jimmy Coonan who ran his group as anything but a gentleman.

It's coming out Friday at 5:15pm eastern time.
