      @The Fox If your memory is so bad that you can’t remember what you did, you may need to start paying more attention in the moment. It’s not cool to live in auto pilot. You can overcome it, by simply learning about mindfulness techniques. It helps tremendously. Right now, you’re probably working a lot of hours or something. Sometimes it’s better to slow down and live in the present.

      That is the part I liked the least. You have to understand that when you say what you said, and act accordingly, you create the conditions for corruption - or even more of it. Especially when you say ALL politicians. Because some honestly try to help and they do not necessarily get the support they truly deserve. You think you are sending the message that you are appalled, but what they hear is that you don’t care. And then they rob you.

      The phrase is "Loose lips sink ships" and originates from World War II in the USA. The saying means to be careful of speaking unaware of who might be hearing what you're saying.
      It's worth looking the phrase up on Wikipedia or any other info site. There were posters made and everything, so as to keep the country safe.
      This guy simply mixed up, momentarily, "mouths" and "lips," and started to say "Loose mouths sink ships," but corrected himself. So it is not, as you thought, "Loose mouths, loose lips sink ships," but simply, "Loose lips sink ships."
      I recommend you read through the short Wiki article on the phrase - it's very interesting.

      I knew a lot of bad people that had wonderful mothers.
      The worst ones for some reason were the ones who’s mothers preached to them constantly about religious stuff....quoting bible verses constantly.
      I think it drives some kids to be even worse as a result.
      My mom sent me to a christian school from 6th-8th grade.
      I hated it and I pushed back pretty hard but I knew right from wrong and wasn’t super bad.
      Now my buddy who’s mom preached all the time was a nice kid but he had a sinister side.
      He was also an alcoholic like his father was.
      He ended up hanging himself in his mothers basement at 38 y/o because he couldn’t handle going to jail for his umpteenth DUI.
      Turns out he also molested his oldest Son who years later went to jail for molesting (badly) his own nephews and some other kids from the neighborhood and filmed the incidents and put them on websites where fucked up child molestors hang out.
      He got a life prison sentence for his actions.
      I sometimes wonder if that lady’s constant preaching didn’t drive them all crazy....dunno.
      After my buddy hung himself I reached out to the Nom and sent cards and christmas gifts to his boys for about 7 years.
      I wrote letters to the boys and left my phone# for them to call if they ever wanted to talk about anything or about their Dad.
      I never got a reply from the boys but his Mom (their grandma) would call or wrote me back and told me not to give up on the boys.
      When I heard the oldest was in jail for what he did I was shocked, completely shocked.
      Obviously the whole family hates his guts now but I wonder if his being molested contributed to him being a molestor.
      Very sad.
      I sometimes debate trying to contact him and write him a letter but then I think of what he did to children and I think naw...he don’t deserve it.
      Then the compassionate side of me tries to justify his childhood and his actions as a result.
      Sorry for the rant....just thinking out loud.....it’s helpful sometimes.

Point being dude knew how it felt to be molested by his father so he knew the pain that came with it, so if anything he should be a protector of sex victims instead of being the predator..

    Frank would always say...
    "The more you think about them, and you talk about them, the more you are keeping them alive. They are only gone when you forget about them"
    Salut' Zio Culotta, you will never be forgotten! 🙏🙏🙏

      Well said! RIP Mr Cullotta🙏 I have nothing but respect for him and any man that is unapologetically himself and can look in the mirror and look any and everyone in their eyes and tell the truth. Good, Bad and ugly....The truth. They don't make em like they used to!!

    Thank you so much to both Mark and Frank. Thank you for sharing these fascinating life stories that put us to see the world through somebody else’s eyes. Something that money can’t buy....

    Extremely interesting interview; love how the interviewer formed the questions. Thank you, Soft White Underbelly and to Frank Cullotta for being so frank with the audience. There's nothing left for your imagination. Pure raw story.

    "We were saints compared to these people." So infinity and sadly true. What a wise man.

      #JoeCurmaci - Have you seen the interview that Michael Franzese did recently? He gives some serious insight to the way the mafia used to be ran and the things he did. Just a suggestion, thought you might want to see it. Have a good day/night.

    Your interviews are better than most movies today. Awesome content! One downside, my life seems awfully boring compared to the people you speak with.
