For ages, I have thought that Frank Cullotta was the best historian of the underworld. Every time I would see a mob documentary with Frank Cullotta in it, I would think, "why isn't there a Frank Cullotta show?" He is an amazing storyteller, and I know that's a cliche, but I've always admired him. Thanks for this channel. I didn't know about it until just now.
Coffee With Cullotta it is prescribing you numnuttz, but as a man of the indigenous people from Scandinavia (especially the northern parts; imaging reindeers in a quite Alaska-esque environment) called the Sapmi, which is waaay far from northern american organized crime I just have to say I really love this channel of yours you’ve got going on here. it’s the fucking bombers I’d say.
I absolutely love listening to Frank! He is as honest a guy as you will find especially given the fact that he lived the life. You can just tell how straightforward and real the guy is and he has no reason to make anything up. He is a living piece of mafia history and I believe a truly good and humble human being. People can change and i think he has for the better 100%. Love this guy! Keep up the great work Frank Culotta! Any content you come out with at any point in time, I'll definitely be here to give you a thumbs up and a listen. Great job with your success after living the life. Take care.
Had to do a review on my comment. I am very sorry to hear about Frank’s passing. I really don’t keep my ear to the ground when it comes to settings like folks passing. Not quite sure how long ago that was but it is very sad to hear. I do have to say that I absolutely love Frank’s accent. I could’ve listen to him talk day in and day out. Thanks for posting all these videos look forward to diving into them everybody take care, take it easy and be safe.
Franky thanks for the content. Family heritage dates back to Chicago Heights Hungry Hill. Grandfather was capo for Tocco. Raised within the mix. When you speak I feel like I am home.
Frank - may you live long. Always a pleasure hearing you talk. Just one question - how did these guys spend all the millions they were skimming etc - sounds like they made a lot of money. Also interesting seeing how Tony's tone on the phone calls with Joey about organising mundane stuff like hotel comps etc. Interesting days and nice to see a living legend talk about it.
Frank was awesome, always felt like a great uncle . the world lost a friend when he passed, at least we have these videos to watch and remember him well.
This is a good thing you got this page Mr. Cullotta.. I'm grateful to have come across this. You have a new subscriber. Thank you very much, I appreciate you for this.. Respects...
Hey Jon, Im tryin to answer everyones questions and I am doing it according to the most frequently asked and the most interesting. Thanks for watching, now hit that perscribe button with your thumb......or else.
Could be a combination of both, the origin of the nickname is sometimes impossible to trace. For example Tony the Ant, some say it was short for Anthony, and the cops heard us call him Ant on the phone, others say it was a reporter that called him piss ant.
@@mobvlog3156 thank you sir. Also i am quite interested in fifi buccieri and willie potatoes daddano is there any way you could do a video with information on the two of them please
My deceased grandfather Giacomo who arrived in USA, right after turn of last century, was a bodyguard for a short time for Diamond Esposito.. I found this out. .. About 10 years ago .
It was Big jim colosimo then Johhny Torrio then Al capone then frank nitti then Paul Ricca w Tony Accardo. Giancana, joey doves and the clown had to get approval from Paul and Tony before they could make any major moves or killing.
Last year I flew from Japan to take the tour with Frank. Lots of fun, very interesting and hey Frank - thanks for the pizza! Very tasty. Would recommend it to all...
Hey frank , great videos love the content . I grew up in Chicago in the 70s and 80s the greatest city in the world but the you guys describe Las Vegas I can’t wait to visit be well
I love the opening! As soon as I heard it, I subbed! I was glad he didn't get edited about mixing the term 'subscribe' around. Don't edit Mr. Cullotta!
Back in the 70's I was a plumber that did various things for some of the Chicago outfit guys ...Joe Lombardo.. Rocky Lombardo...Tony the Hatchett Chiaramonte... Jack Cerone...Louie the Mootch...and his Brother Tommy......at one point I did some work for a mob associate by the name of Gerry Healy...he was a close friend of Tony Spilotro...... well Gerry owed me money for some work I did but he stiffed me...so one day I'm having breakfast in a restaurant in Glendale Heights...and as I'm sitting there I was unaware of who was in there also...so I'm sitting there and Gerry Healy comes up to my table...and says what the fuck are you doing following me ? I said absolutely not ..and reminded him of his debt to me...he then pointed to his table where Tony Spilotro happen to be sitting...and he said to me...I'm gonna have Tony come over and beat me to death....so I replied...good have the midget come over him...and I'll stab his fuckin ass....he knew I could handle the little rat...so nothing happened....Tony wouldn't have the balls for a one on one ...he was only good with his boys around....
GREAT STUFF FRANK. GROWING UP IN BENSONHURST THE LIFE WAS ALL AROUND ME IN THE SEVENTIES. MY UNCLE WAS A BIG GUY IN THE COLUMBO FAMILY. HE KEPT ME STRAIGHT. SAW ALOT OF GUYS KILLED OR WIND UP IN THE FEDS FOR YEARS!👊👊👊
Really enjoy listening to Mr. Culatta's authoritative and trustworthy accounts of "the Outfit," though I'm a pretty square, straight-laced guy (of 69). One question about his coffee preferences: what brand and variety of coffee beans does Mr. Culatta prefer? Also, does he or whoever makes his coffee use the instant, keurig cups or French-press method to make his coffee. One tip: people who work at the coffee shops do give French-pressed coffee (not to be confused with French Roast) as producing the fullest flavored, richest results. The process takes around 15-20 minutes, however, so that deters many from using it. But the coffee it produces almost vibrates with flavor.
Great. Just fucking great. I don’t think Frankie’s a guy to fuck with and I believe what he says. I learned a long time ago, if you listen to someone who’s been there and you learn from it, better chance of not falling into the same traps and mistakes. Treacherous world. He got to 80? Io te salud my friend.
Thankyou Mr Cullota I love coffee with the main man sincere and I guess business is business oh and you look fabulous from Jacqueline in Manchester UK 🌻🌻🌻
Hey... good health, 81 year young brother. You look, & sound altogether to me. Thanks for your stories. Please don't snap my friggin' thumbs off! Take care from the UK.
Yeah and he died from a hear attack and was a out right gangster and top of the tree from the 30s not many have heard of him thats always a hint that your looking at a top guy.
3 года назад+2
Well, Frank was largely full of shit and I seriously doubt he was even in Ricca's company ever.
If you read the FBI transcripts from giancana hq in the armory lounge. You see where ricca and accardo who where supposed to be retired. Always coming in and giving "ADVISE" to giancana
@Gene Bone giancana was the front boss that's exactly why giancana dying at al 68 years old with no degenerate gambling habit, inspite of no expensive cloths, no fancy house, no fancy cars ... he left his family with not 1 single legitimate business and completely penniless and the giancana family had to go and write a half dozen books of mostly self inflated garbage and giancana's daughter had to pose for playboy just to pay the bills over the years...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂... just go on keep living in your fantasy world and ignoring real facts like giancana taking orders from Rica and Accardo at the armory lounge noted by the username gestapo brad and leaving no money behind to prove that he was a front boss talk is cheap..real evidence is what matters
@@mikelanden one of the lies they wrote about in the book double lies was giancana getting JFK the vote in Illinois. Anyone who does the research can see that not only JFK won a state he didn't need to win he had the lowest vote count for a democratic president before or after him. In Chicago was the Catholics and black votes obviously went to Kennedy.
I’m still confused...... I had always heard that from the 1940’s to the 1980’s, the real bosses were Tony Batters and Paul Ricca.......and anybody labeled as boss was a front boss. Like Mo Mo for example, still answers to Ricca and Accardo
I’ve been going thru and watching franks videos over again. I miss him but I cannot understand what Adam and Louis are going through even still. Hope all is well Adam. Salute!
Do you have any Accardo stories Frank? From the Documentaries and books they make him out to be the real power in the Outfit but your opinion holds more water than any one out there
OK, I'm a subscriber. I took your tour last year with the wife, you wouldn't remember me but I found it interesting. Looking forward to what else I can learn from your You tube channel. Stay well.
That was Frankie Bluestein. You can read other comments, I just answered this question somewhere on the channel. But I am going to do a video soon about it.
@@mobvlog3156 He gets a little testyeven at 81.The time when the camera was shaking a little."Hey I'm serious "!Whew . Calm down!Don't blow up the oxygen!
I emailed Frank back in January 2020 he emailed me back. Man's Man!
Was sad day when he passed away 3 years ago.
Your sadly missed Frank
"I'll sit in the car. You never know what these broads will say."
That is a 100% fact
From 85 prescribed to one hundred and thirteen thousand we all miss you Frank rest easy.
We'll all miss you, Frank. RIP
I miss hearing his stories too. It's unfortunate how many we have lost to this stupid virus.
