I had some friends ( a married couple) who took his tour 3-4 years ago. They said Frank drove them himself and there was no bodyguard at that point. He picked them up in his own car. Said it was all they could have hoped for and more. When Frank was in witpro he actually lived in our city for awhile. Wasn't b.s.ing. Knew details and everything. Wild. Friends wife actually kept up with him after the tour. Said Frank was quite the character. His health was pretty bad and she used to call and check in with him from time to time.
I tried buying a signed book off his website. When it took too long to get I emailed the site about it. Frank himself started emailing and sent me a signed book. He then emailed me again to tell me he sent, then bitched at me for being in Canada because the shipping ate into his profits. I offered to cover the shipping and he just said he was happy I wanted his book.
RIP Frank 🙏
dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last few weeks :)
@Kyson Jaxon yup, been watching on instaflixxer for years myself =)
No doubt! RIP Frank! You were definitely one of the last of a dying breed of MEN. I don't care what he did for a living....We are all imperfect beings, and passing judgement isn't for any of us here on earth to do. Real Men are unapologetically themselves...no matter who's around, where they are and stand on their beliefs and their actions at all times. Frank I hope you enjoy everlasting love and peace! Rest in Paradise sir.
I hit the prescribe button Frank! I’m a fellow Chicago native, south side! You’re the man! You are right about us talking different than the guys in New York! I hope you live to a healthy active 100!
The man was a mobster, yes. But in the end he was also wise, entertaining, and a VERY captivating story teller with some hardcore lessons to tell. I enjoyed his TH-cam channel (COFFEE WITH CULLOTTA) very much as he interacted with his viewers and cohost in ways that few content producers could or would. When he spoke of his life he would take you back into a different time, permitting you to picture everything as it was, and giving you a clear image of what happened as he spoke along. You were right there with him as a street thug in his teen years to breaking in to jewelry stores with the gang, getting busted by cops, sent up the river, etc. He was simply that good. In many ways the Morgan Freeman of the mob world as far as his voice and narration went. His channel was a must during this seemingly never ending COVID quarantine period. He did some bad things earlier on in his life but we only know of them because of his willingness to share them. And in sharing he also included his remorse and regret for much of his actions. I for one will miss the guy, RIP Franky.
Thief and murderer. Dont you a hate a thief more than anything.
Greatness in *2023* & first time viewing this video, thanks 🇺🇸🍻🇺🇸
RIP Frank
Amazing interview! Thanks for the content! I'm from the italian market(south philly) I grew up with wise guys and stories
RIP Frank 🥀 20-Aug-2020
🔥 Nice Interview
You should've asked him more about the outfit members like gianncana, de stefano, accardo etc
Juice loans are a tough business even if you have collateral...but even then it sucks
He didn't know.He didn't want to be made.
Don't forget Larry Neumann
Long Live Frank
Mr Frank "Piña" Cullota...A "TRUE" man's man
One of fortunate people still alive to tell the tales.
Aniway in casino a nice movie u won't see almost nothin about the (gold rush)
An interview where the interviewer actually read the books. Be still my fxing heart. 👍
What a cool man. None of that new age PC bullshit. OG af.
10 jillion. LOL. Love Chicago people and Outfit stories
Tony Spilotro did not play Joe Pesci......the other way around I'd say!
He made a boo boo....at least You’re Listening....ha.
In the movie Casino, it was now deceased Frank Vincent who played Frank Cullotta
did he even watch the movie it was Joe who played as tony lmao
This guy and Michael Fran. Are the only dagos I could listen to all day.
Michael ain't nothin but a jagggoff
Go to work and get ur money up kid
Cullotta’s books are really excellent and fascinating. He has had a really unique stretch here on earth so far. He describes his life up the age of 21 which was fkn crazy and could’ve been a book. He states that he never wanted to be an outfit guy, never wanted to have to answer to anybody or ask permission for anything. Then his life from 21 on could’ve been another book, his exodus from prison and subsequent move to Vegas to work with and for Spilotro, his restaurant the Upper Crust and all the drama associated with it, discovering the place was bugged and finding the actual wire then following it to the FBI’s hide and stealing their surveillance equipment, unreal. Plus the tons of other stories he goes into, the scores, the wise guy he associated & pulled jobs with. Overall they are first rate books, well worth a couple books for the hours of entertainment. Such an unbelievable life. Thanks Frank, great interview!
My point was again, his life story is interesting and his books are entertaining. Yeah he hurt people, if that’s too much for you to handle done read any of them or watch his interviews
ahh i miss the ChiCAgo accent. My Papa (grandfather), Salvatore, grew up near Taylor street! Theres that italian ice stand thats still there if anyone lives near there.
Marios. The cantaloupe is the best. Waa there last weekend
Carms
R.I.P Frank.
I wish I could have met Mr. Cullotta .
Damn...I was just in Vegas two months ago....I would have taken that tour.
"I borrowed em chree tousan."
Love that accent..
Thank you Frank. I will check out your books. Question...do you call it sauce or gravy in your house? Respect.
Mun-nug. You jagoff It's Gravy. LOL
There IS an eastside here in chicago, its close to the indiana border.
yeah not back then though
It was there in the 20's and 30's the East Side was all Jewish and then turned all Black@@cahookie901
Watch #CoffeeWithCullotta Frank has a million stories and the first is just as good as the last.
Frankie needs to write a book how to pick up broad's! many props to your stories. thank you for letting us in on a glimpse into the life
Toni played joe lol 😂
Hey! Frank! Frank you look good! Coincidence I used to shine shoes too I made very good tips.
I grew up In the same neighborhood and went to the same highschool but in the 80s and 90s. My first job was delivering pizzas and my boss would send me to social club frequently, all mob. My buddies dad would hang out there all the time. Lots of mob even in my days, lost some friends at young ages for messing around and trying to act like gangsters. I have a rap sheet myself, caught my first felony at 13, we all grew up wise guys in that neighborhood.
I went thru the toor and there were tees there guys standing there.
RIP FRANK
Rest in Peace Franky
Frank is the real deal.......
Wonder did Frank ever feel relived that certain gangsters got wacked because they were just bad human beings. Frank is a stand up guy if you are straight with Frank he is straight with you.
“Tutta day” FC
My grandpa n his family came to Phoenix from Chicago
Yea right.. like I believe that
Man's man!
Coffee With Cullotta.
The movie CASINO was about the CHICAGO OUTFIT (Mob), the producers had to switch the main characters place of origin to Kanas City because of legal and location concerns. So yes; Pesci, De Niro and most of the mob cats in the movie were playing CHICAGO mobsters. FACTZ ✔️👊🏽✔️
@Peter Goezinya The Outfit and to a lesser extent, the other Midwest families controlled the Teamsters Pension Fund. If you wanted to build a casino, that's who financed it back then. The Outfit was on the Commission since 1931, and the meeting to create the Commission was held in Chicago.
A real gangster.
Where you goin jagggoff
I gotta go on dat dhourr. (Tour)
What you gonna do this book is close !!!!
Why do I like this guy?
More than 4 people, a few can ride in the trunk! 😂

You’re welcome
Perfect!
@@HardTruthsReviews hahahaha¡!!
1.5 is better!
There is a east side of Chicago
It’s very south like next to indiana
He was the guy that played Joe Pesci in the movie, got it backward LOL...
You can get wacked for that mistake
Nice guy. He's a goodfella xD
Who's dis jahdrool asking da questions tah frankie wheels?
Frank do you gamble? If so what do u play? Thank you! God bless I like how you talk !
Uncle Frank 🕵♂learned a very valuable lesson about using 1/2 loads. Along with telephone 📞 lines. Doing a semi professional hit. The chlorine & water 💦 in the pool 🏊♀ quick and refreshing way to dispose of ( DNA ) evidence!!!
Tony Spilotro had dandruff.
They found his Head N' Shoulders.
That'sthe oldest lamest joke ever fwiw
@@anwjuice You know you loved it.
Spolatro was like Gotti..he bet on everything
that's what I would call a "flat affect"
How exactly did tony spilotro play joe pesci in the movie casino?
Wonder if any of his old cohorts have booked a tour.
RIP Frankie!!! ✝️ 🙏
Frank.. gives credibility to the term never let the facts get in the way of a good story that's Hollywood
He's got no reason to lie..I belive him.. I've been around all kinds of peaple and his manarisms etc are not false. He seems the real deal to me. I've grew up around these types but in England. From what I've seen peaple who would've been clashed as hit men and Armed robbers, dealers big and small, shoplifters, Articulated lorry robbers, fraudsters, burglars , (both domestic.and commercial), every type of criminal both smalltime and big..He's the genuine article to me. Not classed gangster in America but would be in UK he's what we call in UK a "good grafter" which are old style gangsters, an active criminal who gets decent money. We call it the "prize," which can be money and or jewellery (tom foolery), fraudulently aquired or stolen merchandise of value like electrical or clothes, even food.And as we would say, good luck to em.
So does Mark Chopper Reid. Don't the truth get in the way of a good yarn lol
@@geoffedwards-tb4kp ....... why don't you go get him and da both of ya go to england
@@TheKhanhhoa for what reason?
@@geoffedwards-tb4kpA nice gathering of terms from the other side of the pond. Truly a pleasure to read, thank you.
Does anyone know what happened to Nancy Spilotro if so would you please let me know thanks so much
Frank talks about meeting her in an episode with coffee with Cullotta and says he ran into her at a pharmacy when he was in witsec and she asked him for $ to pay for her script and he gave her 300$(I think) and her and her son r selling perks to supplement their income..he even arranged for her to get a car(Ford Taurus or something nothing extravagant) to help her
Frank R.i.p. u badass G you
Spilotro played Joe Pesci in the movie? Wow, whoda thunk it?!
Jack ~'()'~
Canadian manly lady's man & man about town
Bronzesnake hahahahaha I was just gonna day somethin hahahahaha
Say
thats funny !!!!!! besides , he is a wanna be compared to samual l. jackson and john travolta !!!
Frank admits to 2 murders one is Jerry lisner who's the other?
Brad Meed an “union official”
He was involved in 4 murders.
He set up the two guys in the Mand M murders in Chicago ,but didn’t actually kill those two , just lured them to their deaths where associates did the rest.
Then there were the 2 he actually committed himself at separate times.
He even thought of DNA when he was 18! Could have been a scientist
lol
Frank is a good guy, RIP Frank
All the way true
It really does seem to be a mystery as to wether or not they actually have making ceremonies in Chicago
From what I've heard outside of New York and New Jersey most families weren't/arent real big on the ceremonial stuff.
I think the one guy to testify that they did was junior calabrese, and he wasn't a made man, so it's a mystery. There are several people that said there wasn't a ceremony.
This kid is way too young to be interviewing this old Legend it's like a elementary school kid interviewing Al Capone
It's a Sin they never really made a movie about his area Chicago other than Casino, so called "mob movie" directors/producers should all be ashamed.
"Dony"
Tony was a sneaky snake.. he put in work but it’s fucked up he threw his homie under the bus like that smh
"We moved out to the suburbs not the suburbs but a suburb"
You wont find realer then that " it was too slow for me " 😂😂😂😂
23:27 Hahaha
Frank I need you to clarify a theory about the.film. The hit man character.for the .Dormans and.all cutting ties hits near the end. Well one of em, was his look based on Frankel the German? I.always thought it was? What do I know?.Let me know please as it's always tickled my curiosity buds!!!.
Don't matter if u in NYC or the Chi, sometimes you jus gotta go get your fukin shine box!
Dued YOU know lou caputo mobster from south Brooklyn
R.I.P Frank made peace woth his past and the Lord..
Would like to see a remake of the casino 🎰
I'd like to see a Casino sequel.
Good lord for what?All the remakes are junk.Leave the classics be.Hell they could of done a movie on this guy if they wanted to.
Where you going jaggoff?
Dudes Favorite Football Team... Jacksonville Jagoffs!
Do snitches get stitches?
1:01 in & i gotta go
Frank had said many times that Tony "made" him in Vegas, so he was an official member of la cosa nostra. This, like many other things Tony did, was almost definitely not known about back home, completely invalidated official status
Tony went off the outfit reservation for sure.
15:08 there is a story about 2 brother's doing this in Germany in the 1920s I wonder if Frank's story is true
First case DNA was used to convict someone was in England in 1986.
The tech had been around since 1983
Frank was arrested for Berthas on 7/4/1982 , but Lisner was killed10/10/1979.
I happen to know Frank and I think he embellished a little on the DNA stuff.
No way he knew about it in 1979, that’s my take.
@@johncolletti the tech night have been around since 1983 BUT it had to be in development for years prior.
Elle Mathews 1983 -1986 WAS the prior developement for its introduction to criminal courts in 1986 , by the same guy who developed the process they use.
So developer and law enforcement side of it was the same guy Alec Jeffries and he made his discovery by accident. In a strange twist ,the first time it was used to convict a murderer it also cleared another defendant of a second murder in the case in a rural English town . 2 young girls were killed and police were convinced the same guy did both. The first suspect admitted the first killing but denied the second killing.Police who were convinced he was lying, charged him with the second murder anyhow. But that second murder was committed by a second suspect. So the same evidence that convicted the first suspect in the first murder also cleared him being being a suspect in the second. Second guy almost got away with it too because they literally tested every single male between 17 and 30 in the town and every single male gave a DNA sample except for one guy that one guy ended up using a sample from a friend of his at work who lived in a neighboring township and turned that in so then they would think they were at a dead end again because they still didn’t have a match for the second one but then one day the guy was talking real loud ,drunk ,in a bar bragging about what a trick he had pulled off and somebody overheard him and turned him in and that was the end for him and his boasting.
That's your third book ? Ok , how many books do you have ?
Three

The name scarfo says to me, no way, I'll pass. These kids must have not been too bright!
I'd prefer to talk like I'm not from a 'legit' family...
Than be from a 'legit' family and not have the money to throw around.
Don't forget where you're from.
And don't pretend...
Have some respect, fools.
Why was Joe Lombardo the acting boss in 1978? You had accardo auippa and cerone or was he a captain
Probably grand ave boss
@@SayerofThings He's a huge fan of DaVinci also.....
@facciabella85 I'm a massive fan of Dutchman Van Gogh myself pal.....
Yeah but he is basically a boss. 5..6 families in new york. 1 in chicago. He ran ONE of a handful of crews. add it up
and in the end you meet your maker
Haha, "Tony Spilatro was the guy who played Joe Pesci".
Cam ffs, you didn’t bring up any instances that correlated with da troof.
If this man took lives WHY the F%^K is he not in prison right now? I dont care what deal he cut, I dont care what guard he saved to get out early. You needlessly take someones life you forfeit your own,PERIOD!
Can u interview Gianni Russo?
The Chicago accent reminds me of Irish Americans...dont know why...maybe because im from philly
