It's funny seeing Gotti call anybody a lowlife.

dobbs: that's what I thought he said on first listen. But I think the kid was saying he wanted to be a "cook".

Even worse, of course.

Yeah he said Cook which was upsetting because he didnt want his grandkid to be a nobody, he was going to be somebody, like a lawyer. But not a baseball player, they are liars.

And several years later the mom, the kid and his siblings have their own reality show on A&E.

Reminds me of my dad. "You see those mountains? There are places I could kill you and nobody would ever know about it."
