It hurts me to see your getting older but that's life. More power to you and thank you for sharing so much insight in a world we are all so fascinated by!
Hey Frank, I just wanted to let you know, I don't know if you are a Sopranos fan, but two actors from that show Steven Schirripa, "Bobby Baccalieri" and Michael Imperioli "Christopher Moltisanti" have a podcast called "Talking Sopranos" and they actually mention you in Episode 3 starting around the 6 minute mark of the podcast, incase you want to check it out it's all very nice stuff about you and even tell people to check out your tour in Las Vegas. That should really show you how much respect people have for you, Steven even talks about how he met you and then seen you again during the filming of Casino. Frank you truly are a legend in your own time. I'm honored to have had the pleasure of telling you this. God Bless You Mr. Cullotta!
Love your Robert De Niro take you are awesome Frank. Steve Schirripa used to work in Vegas did you ever run into him I believe he’s a standup guy like you has the same take on Robert De Niro
My favorite part of this channel is the uncle FRANKIE answers our questions and responds to our comments he takes his time to acknowledge his prescribers
People may say you talk to much bc everyone is dead, but this is history Sir! You are speaking about important history from the mafia era. There aren't many of you left in this world to give us accurate details and how things worked back then. I find it intriguing and interesting! Keep doing your thing Sir. Next time I am in Vegas, hopefully within the next year, (had to cancel this June vegas trip with all this virus crap), but I am hoping to take your tour. Have a good one!
I saw an ex-Nazi who was in the escort guard for Hitler personally. It was in the 90's I think and he was an old man by then who had done prison time for it. Many of the comments were on the line of "why is this guy spreading the word about being a Nazi," when all he was doing was describing what he did and saw 40 years prior. He was a part of history whether he wanted to be or not and he said what he did. Same with Frank. Yes, he took the wrong path in life when he decided to be a gangster, but he's just telling us now what happened. He's not trying to glamorize gangster life, he's just telling it like it is and I respect him for that. Look at those hands and imagine what they looked like 50 years ago. Would you like to be on the receiving end of one of those paws? How many men did he knock down with one punch? RIP Frank.
Hah, i hear ya " the older you get, the tougher it gets" at 62 i get used to that concept and i think it was Bette Davies who said " getting old is not for cowards" so then you're all set, keep it up, all the best.
@You heard? oh U must know them all very well. Even If thAT WASN'T one of my ironic jokes if U don't Like Frank Cullotta, GO, leave, get a Life, U WAIST my time!
Hey Frank! Do you ever feel nostalgic or amused when you turn on the news and see a story about wiseguys or the Outfit ? I ask this because i live in Chicago and every now and then I'll see a story about wiseguys that are currently active. Love the videos!
Frank.I enjoy your talks...my father emigrated from bari Italy into Chicago..my great uncle, (my dads uncle)was connected according to my dad, and owned a pool hall on the Southside..I even have an uncle with the last name difronzo..they all came from chicago and they knew the spilotro family pretty well cause they came from the same town in Italy..my question is..was there any outfit influence in Los Angeles.. particularly in the San Fernando valley?.my dad will never really talk about it whenever I ask. BTW he is your age born in 1936..
It's officially documented by an irs sting when Tony Spilotro.... moved to Las Vegas in 1971 he was betting $30,000 a week so he was making big money from somewhere.. because everybody knows when you gamble... generally speaking ...you lose a lot more than you win
Good stuff!! Glad your still around to educate us on all things Chicago. Tons of info on NY but in comparison Chicago was pretty under the radar. So is it true Chicago was more or less responsible for everything west of the Mississippi? Excluding the known open cities like LA. Thanks Frank keep the great content coming sir....
Also, Bill Roemer was he actually respected by most outfit guys as a straight shooter? Seems as history has passed I've yet to hear bad things about him from cops and hoods alike.
As always, great episode Frank! Could you talk a little about Paulie Shiro? He seems like a sleeper in the Outfit, somebody that stayed under the radar. I know he and another guy spotted you on an airplane when you were in witness protection, and you and him did a lot of jobs when you were younger. Thanks a lot Frank, keep up the good work! PS: The folder thief lol
Im glad that i got ripped off the three times i scored some Yeo, put me off forever obv, i hear its a cunt of a drug and WTF with cant get a hard on....lost me brother, gimme "Morning Wood" any day rather than a bleeding snorer and a limpus dickus. Salut!
Hey Frank, big fan of the channel and the stories, I’m prescribed as well, I might have missed it but I haven’t seen anyone ask you anything about any possible experiences with the Boston mob or Bulger or any affiliates. Respect and cheers to you Frank.
Great show uncle frank. I'm from the San Francisco Bay area. Do you know or ever had contact with the lanza crime family?I know jimmy frattiano was trying to make moves in Vegas and Los Angeles and sf for a little bit. Did you ever meet jimmy ??
Hi Frank, I'm glad you're doing well. I have a question with regard to the Casino movie. I used to live in the Mark One building on Desert Inn from 1998-2000. There was an Italian restaurant in the lobby. I heard the cast and crew ate there during the filming of the movie. A few years later a Philly connected guy bought the restaurant (he was Long John Martorano's son in law). Anyways I used to see a guy named Tony Montana (from Chicago) sitting at the bar all the time. He supposedly worked with Tony Spilatro. Do you keep in touch with Tony Montana? Did you guys ever work together back in the day?
I just became a new subscriber. Very interesting stories. I grew up watching the old George Raft , James Cagney, Bogart , Edward G Robinson ...etc. I love those old black and white gangster movies. Tell me Frank , did you like those old black and white gangster movies?? Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Mr. Cullotta in your book I read about your first robbery where you had to take your glasses off and ended up threatening a coat rack to get on the floor. I was curious if you can recall any other funny situations that may have arisen during another heist you where doing? Also thank you guys for all the hard work you put into this channel it truly is much appreciated!
What can you tell us about Sam Giancana? How did he rise to become the head of The Outfit? Also, how did The Outfit make money back in his day (1930's-1950's?)
I'm in lockdown in the London and your videos are so addictive and intriguing i love it. I wanna come over to Vegas later in the year and do your tour, is it possible to get a breakfast or lunch with you when I'm out there? I'm a perscribed guy. Stay well sir
Thanks for your interest in my tour once vegas reopens. BTW Once we get to 30,000 perscribers we are thinking of offering a virtual tour to paid subscribers of this channel. Don't forget to hit that perscribe button. oh and hit the bell for notifications on new episodes so you don't miss out.
@@mobvlog ....according to michael spilotro 's widow anne ...marco d amico worked for michael spilotro as a bookmaker until 1980 then moved to jacky cerone s crew ...would be interesting to know how truthful frank cullotta think s michael spilotro widow is...???
Hi Frank! Thank you for all the wisdom you have bestowed upon me, by sharing your life experiences. My question for you is, what can you tell me about Wayne Matecki? I've been able to find backgrounds on most of the hole in the wall gang, but I can never seem to find any general info on Wayne. Thanks Frank!
Hey Frank!, love your channel. Always infatuated with the story every since I saw casino. Can you tell 2 Tony Spilotro stories. One story about how tough he was. And a story that shows us the type of person he was? If you answer this I'd really appreciate it. I already appreciate you and everything you have given us so far. Stay safe out there!
@@mobvlog Hey Frank, not only have I seen that I've watched every video on your channel and every interview I could find on TH-cam that you've done. Valuetainment was my favorite. I just want more stories about how tough Tony was. And how he moved in the mob. And I'm definitely prescribed.😉
I don't care about hollywood . NY may sell but Chicago didn't need 5 families , I think they should have done at least a couple good Chicago movies ,But where would they find someone to play Accardo and some of these other guys . I think he was a very smart boss. Maybe around Carlo Gambino's level .I think Giancanna was too flamboyant like Gotti, But what do I know I never met 'em , maybe you could have some insights on them. I like that you don't let some of these guys get you down writing disgraceful comments to you. I enjoy your channel very much !
Frank, I love hearing your stories. Interesting as hell, but I got to know which Street crew of the Outfit was the most feared by other crews? Grand Avenue crew, Southside crew, Rush street crew, etc. Also, did any crew have a particular specialty of enterprise which they excelled at more than the other crews? Also, what do you think about former Chicago criminal lawyer Robert Cooley?
Hey Frank, love the videos and the channel man, question: did you ever encounter or were aware of west coast mobsters like Jimmy "the hat" Lanza out of San Francisco or Joe Cerrito, Emanuel Figlia and Angelo Marino out of San Jose? Thanks, stay healthy.
“Is much rather have sex than coke!” Lol he doesn’t even mess with caffeinated coffee after that experience. Anything threatening sex is out!!! Love it!
Hi Frank, another question....Harry Aleman...why did he prefer the New York style of killing, he'd pop out of a car with a shotgun and do it right on the sidewalk....restaurant.....
Since Frank is gone, I don’t know if there is anyone else to answer. Who was in charge of the racetracks (Maywood, Sportsman’s, Hawthorn, Arlington) Did they have a “skim” for the Chicago mob the same way the Stardust and other casinos did?
Did you know Sam "Sinatra" DeAngelino? Had a voice like Frank, used to sing to himself while he picked up the bags on the west side for Donnie the Ditch Digger and Paolo "La Piscina" Poletti. Benny the Barber caught him singing for an audience, and let's just say he never missed a rehearsal after that...
You know which ''gangster'' actor gave Frank the respect? The guy that played Bobby Bacala in Sopranos. Cause he knew. And he worked in Las Vegas. He worked in the Casino movie too. But he knew better than joke with Frank's honor. Next show ask him about him.
Good comeback,water off a 🦆 back. I'm live in New York and as a teen is when I heard of a organization. So I was interested and only learned of new York never ventured out and now hearing about chi town is very interesting. Only thing I knew of Vegas was bugsy Siegel and lansky allegedly. But I liked casino,mean street's,pope of Greenwich village,state of Grace, Goodfellas. What are yours and thanks.
Frank is the best, greetings from Greece! Questions: did Frank ever work with Greek American gangsters? Any interesting stories? What was their relation with the Italian Americans? What did they specialize in? Btw, did you know Nick the Greek the famous gambler? Looking forward to Frank's DNA results, I guess they will probably also show a Greek "connection", which is usually the case for people coming from Sicily and southern Italy.
Hi Frank, would you mind telling us was it at Spanky's that Chuck Nicoletti stopped in on his way to get clipped & your thoughts on why...him & Alderisio were the 2 top hitters back in the day....also, how could I become part of your crew, learning AND earning sounds great...thanks
Hey Frank, have you bumped into any of the guys who are or were still be alive or not in prison, out on the streets? If so, who was it (if you can share) and how did it go? And would you ever go on Sammy The Bull's podcast and share stories with each other if the opportunity presented itself? We love you in Chicago Heights Frank, Thanks
Frank did you hear who did the work on Sam giancana? And do you have any stories when any of the New York guys visited out there? Keep up the good work 👌 and thanks again. Stay well sir
The only two proper gangsters that I know who are still around is culotta and Sammy. This Francesse, John alite, are story makers that no other gangsters even speaks about them or mentions their name. Just like that klinkiski. Sammy and culotta you can tell are themselves- they don’t add or subtract from facts to make it more juicy or what have you
Frank I had another question: I know everything took off in the Patch with the Black Hand and then the Outfit, but when you were in your 20s, was everything out of Elmwood Park, Cicero and surrounding suburbs? By the way, I was going to mention, my grandfather lived in the Patch at Ohio and Campbell right across from Smith Park there. I'am originally from 43rd and Emerald, but remember a few bakeries we'd go to on Grand as a kid.
Frank. I grew up in Providence, RI where things were run by Raymond Patriarca; who preferred to be called Patron rather than Don. I've read he was one of the most trecherous bosses in the mob. Did you ever encounter any of the RI mob?
Frank, has the huge expansion in legal gambling in Illinois and of course other states, been a boon to The Outfit and other mob groups? It seems there would be a huge increase in gambling addiction, the need for juice loans and the opportunity.
Hello frank I’m a fun of mafia movies and have a lot of respect for you mate I’m from Australia . Casinos a great movie and with you the movie would not have been the success that it become wanted to ask you a question did tony and lefty go out to the desert to settle there differences when lefty said tony was bringing heat on him with his casino license thanks brother love ya
Hey frank.. How was Tony expected to make money as he wasn't meant to be robbing, Stealing ect.. As the bosses didn't want anything messing with the Skim/Casinos.. How did the bosses expect him to make money???
De Niro if you look at him or acknowledge him on a set, you be sent home. And his weird lifestyle of course & let’s not forget what happened in 1998 when he had to fly to France. The police had his information from a underage prostitution ring, but he’s such a great guy. I could go on & on about him.
Seeing Frank admit to doing Coke for a year is pretty comical. Wouldn't be able to tell from his personality or younger photos. "Cause that stuff is wack."

Franks too old and wise too sit around and BS people... Deniro ruined his image selling out to politics.
Trump aside there are just to many people talking about Deniro...He doesn't appear to be a nice person.
yep, ruined his image big time, lost all respect for that de niro clown.

In the theme song he should end it with "if ya know what's good for ya" not "you"... It'll rhyme that way.. Lol

Hi Frank, would you mind telling us was it at Spanky's that Chuck Nicoletti stopped in on his way to get clipped & your thoughts on why...him & Alderisio were the 2 top hitters back in the day....also, how could I become part of your crew, learning AND earning sounds great...thanks
Dear Mr Cullotta, you told about a carbomb and how it was snowing heavily at the time. How did you plant the bomb without leaving traces????
funnyfailures traces of what? Bombs produce snow melting heat
Are you familiar with WestSide Crew long time hangout Richards Bar in River West Chicago ?
Hey frank just purchased one of your mugs 👍also who was Donald the wizard in a Wikipedia said he took over Vegas when Spilotro was killed
That was Don Angelini.
Thanks for your support & paying your street tax 👍
Hey Frank, have you bumped into any of the guys who are or were still be alive or not in prison, out on the streets? If so, who was it (if you can share) and how did it go?
And would you ever go on Sammy The Bull's podcast and share stories with each other if the opportunity presented itself?
We love you in Chicago Heights Frank, Thanks
Frank did you hear who did the work on Sam giancana? And do you have any stories when any of the New York guys visited out there? Keep up the good work 👌 and thanks again. Stay well sir
The only two proper gangsters that I know who are still around is culotta and Sammy. This Francesse, John alite, are story makers that no other gangsters even speaks about them or mentions their name. Just like that klinkiski.
Sammy and culotta you can tell are themselves- they don’t add or subtract from facts to make it more juicy or what have you
Alite? Maybe. Franceze? Hes a famous made guy and so is his father
Frank I had another question: I know everything took off in the Patch with the Black Hand and then the Outfit, but when you were in your 20s, was everything out of Elmwood Park, Cicero and surrounding suburbs?
By the way, I was going to mention, my grandfather lived in the Patch at Ohio and Campbell right across from Smith Park there. I'am originally from 43rd and Emerald, but remember a few bakeries we'd go to on Grand as a kid.
Thank you Frank
Frank. I grew up in Providence, RI where things were run by Raymond Patriarca; who preferred to be called Patron rather than Don. I've read he was one of the most trecherous bosses in the mob. Did you ever encounter any of the RI mob?
Frank, has the huge expansion in legal gambling in Illinois and of course other states, been a boon to The Outfit and other mob groups? It seems there would be a huge increase in gambling addiction, the need for juice loans and the opportunity.
Where ever there is money there is corruption. Thanks for perscribing Jon O

Hello Frank !
Like your videos. My question : Was any cool guys amongst the heavies or upper echelon you met in Chicago ?
Uncle FRANKIE hired me to make sure you PERSCRIBE. I've got the vice ready. SO PERSCRIBE OR ELSE.
Rip frank,one of the last original gangsters from Chicago
I had that same problem with a different kind of drug as soon as I found out what it was I quit the drugs
Good decision
Hey frank, I heard Tony's son on the news awhile back saying the cops shot up their house when he was a kid was wondering if that's true.
I used to drink at Spankys a very nice Bartender worked there she got allot of tips from me for her never having a problem with anybody Great Woman
Hey frank.. How was Tony expected to make money as he wasn't meant to be robbing, Stealing ect.. As the bosses didn't want anything messing with the Skim/Casinos.. How did the bosses expect him to make money???
Hey Archy, this was asked and will be shown in an upcoming video. Thanks for asking and perscribing!
Frank did you know my uncle from Grand and Ogden Mike Oboza. You remind me so much of him.
Jasper campisi met the same fate after he and Gattuso botched the hit on Eto..they ended up in a trunk!
Perscribred
Hi uncle frank, ur video are so interesting, anyways I wana ask u one question regarding, tommy devito from Lucchese family, did Gotti killed him? Ty
De Niro if you look at him or acknowledge him on a set, you be sent home. And his weird lifestyle of course & let’s not forget what happened in 1998 when he had to fly to France. The police had his information from a underage prostitution ring, but he’s such a great guy. I could go on & on about him.
Hey Frank did the Chicago outfit ever had connections in Sicily and why didn't they recruit the zips? Also did you ever work with the Detroit mafia?
Chicago didn’t need to recruit for work they could easily handle themselves.
@@ORION2180 its good to have connections from the homeland and be international
Seeing Frank admit to doing Coke for a year is pretty comical. Wouldn't be able to tell from his personality or younger photos. "Cause that stuff is wack."
