Thank you and we know we made a ridiculous foul not asking about Sam. We admit that lol. More research and before our time. Not an excuse just there is a lot to research and most was focused on Frank. But yes major foul. We will IMPROVE!!!
OMG PLEASE TELL ME U GUYS DIDN'T PASS UP A CHANCE TO FIND OUT WHO KILLED SAM GIANCANA AND WHY??? PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T!!! I AM HAVING AN OUTER BODY EXPERIENCE RIGHT NOW BCUZ U GUYS JUST LET THAT SLIDE RIGHT ON BY!!!
It’s common knowledge on the street that it was spilotro who killed momo. That’s why I wasn’t part of the family secrets trial cuz among other things spilotro was murdered to silence him. The feds knew it was Tony but couldn’t get to him before the outfit did.
Frank, if you read the comments and see this I’ve had a question I’ve always wanted to ask you if you could be so kind to answer I would appreciate it greatly… After you cooperated and your father went to prison, how did the other made guys in fraternity of The Outfit look at your father? Did he remain friends with them, or was he shunned? Also, did he keep any power/earns on the street from prison for any amount of time? I hope you see this and if you answer I’d be very grateful. I’ve watched you for years and have always wondered these few things. Thanks.
He is friendly with fbi agents, obviously. I also doubt the rest of his family stopped talking to his father, and maybe even mutual friends of his father and him. A lot of ways, obviously.
Frank Sr. was a mentally unstable individual to the highest degree. Talk about criminally insane, Frank Sr. was the very definition. Imagine being in the same room that Junior here had to be in his entire upbringing and most of his adult years not knowing when pops is going to finally cancel Christmas on him.
Frank jr. Wasn't a gangster...he was just a gangsters son....hes leaving some things out...like stealing a bunch a money from his dad and thts why his dad threatened him....I'm not calling him a liar but Im jus saying....he can't claim to be a mobster himself....his story is a lil different than Sammy the bull or Phil leanetti...
I don’t recollect that Frank ever said he was a gangster. His brother Kurt has also been interviewed and has tried to trash Frank’s name. In conclusion, they were all scumbags. I thoroughly enjoy these mob stories and fancy myself somewhat of an aficionado on this genre but let’s call a spade a spade.
I know major foul on our half. Too focused on franks individual history and story. Should’ve just did bit more research on overall mob scene we can admit that
I opened my Old Town Porn Shop in 1974 and closed it September 15th 1988. I was very involved with the Grand Ave Crew. (Joey Lombardo and friends) I never herd of Frank Calabrese & Family until 2005 at the inception of Family Secrets. Frank Jr. can't make an honest living so he milks his stories until he finds a new fool to listen. Ask his brother Kurt
That could be factual but Kurt also comes across as somewhat bitter towards his brother. It’s hard to actually tell though. Here you have a guy who was connected but never actually made telling everyone what he endured at the hands of his cold hearted, manipulative, mentally disturbed father but we have to keep in mind that he himself is a former scumbag. Who truly knows what’s true and what’s a lie but it makes for great entertainment and Chicago mob genre nostalgia.
Man I have listened to this man many times on different platforms BUT THIS IS THE BEST.

They say it was Spilotro or Blasi but its not "Knowledge" Spilotro denied it to Culotta & Frank Jr says it was the old man himself.
Great interview. All the best from Elmwood Park
Thanks!
I’ve read your book and every mafia book I can find, and it’s not from watching interviews. I’ve been fascinated my whole life. 1:19:55
His dad pulled a gun on him because he just STOLE OVER 300 GRAND OF MOB Money his dad was responsible for ....funny how he left that out...

This is a great question actually
How would frank jr have the answer?
He is friendly with fbi agents, obviously. I also doubt the rest of his family stopped talking to his father, and maybe even mutual friends of his father and him. A lot of ways, obviously.
They all sat and had hot cocoa together.
Good interview
Thank you!
Thank you!
Dude crushed his fathers heart dam too be betrayed by your own son

Well, he was never made, just a criminal.
Is he blind? He's eyes are closed.
I seen JR testify again his dad in court. He was white as a ghost , a nervous wreck
Dad is bad son is a Rat who is not in jail because he has done nothing but rat himself out of jail not raising him right was a bad idea!
Great podcast. Being from Chicago this is crazy to hear it from a real mobster.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Frank Jr wasn’t a “real” mobster . At best he was connected for obvious reasons but was never actually made.
"I mean, yeah... It seems like it."

Loved this one
How do you guys gloss over “Sam giancana hit?”
how do you not know who Sam Giancana is lol!
I know major foul on our half. Too focused on franks individual history and story. Should’ve just did bit more research on overall mob scene we can admit that
How the hell you not know who Sam Giancana is? Do your homework
