No it was from a story Hootie told to Pennisi and Tom on the Button Man show. Hootie was talking about how he grew up idolizing all the Gambino heavyweights in HB/Ozone Park, and how he always thought the Gambinos were the biggest show in town. He called the Gambino Family under Gotti “Madison Square Garden”. And they asked him when he realized the Westside was actually the top dog, and he told a story about going to pick up a no-show check at a job site and seeing a Genovese heavyweight busting his ass covered in cement. He said he almost felt embarrassed because he was just an associate, and he pulled up to this job site thinking he was hot shit in a new car, new clothes, etc. And there was a captain with the Westside working his ass off. Hootie started asking around and some of the older guys schooled him on how the Westside operates.
