“Buddy of mine, I grew up with his dad, used to be a New York cab driver and diehard Mets fan. I grew up hearing these stories. Mr. Caputo. All right. What else did he do? Okay, so Robert Wagner Jr., he's a pretty famous mayor. He built publ…”

“Calls up Mr. Wagner and says, hey, how would you like to be my ambassador to the Vatican where John Paul II had just been elected? Wow. Yeah, he takes that job. John Paul II is the guy that the Turkish gray wolves shot. And of course, the V…”
