About this listen
Growing up in 1970s South Brooklyn (now Carol Gardens), Scott was surrounded by the mob. Wiseguys named Fat Freddie and Big Red drank their espressos and smoked their cigars at the social clubs on the corner. It was idyllic in its own way and he was safe as long as he didn't stray too far.
His uncle Frankie, a tough guy's tough guy, was like a father to Scott. Later in life, Frankie had a quadruple bypass surgery and Scott came to visit. Frankie was frail and almost unrecognizable.
As Scott stood there taking it in, Frankie beckoned him over to the bed and whispered in his ear words that Scott would never forget.
