This was a nice surprise! Hard to believe he's been gone nine months already. Hope you're having a great weekend! And thank you Adam for mentioning my channel last night! It really helped me immensely!!
This was nice to see. Bittersweet because I enjoyed it but was reminded we will never get to hear any New stories from Frank. I truly Miss him. He lived a Full life and grew old where most in his business did not or grew old in prison. Glad You have been able to keep channel going. Rest in Peace Mr.Cullotta
It was nice to here his voice and see him again adam this was nice miss him and listing to his stories he was a good man i hope he's resting in peace and he knows we all miss him and keep him in are prays everyday 🙏 🙏
Thank you for sharing this Adam, I miss Coffee With Cullotta (and the theme tune 😊) RIP Frank! Please keep up the great work with Red though, I’m still enjoying the content. Stay safe and well. Best wishes, Nick
I live not so far from Newport Ky. Before Vegas there was only Newport . I miss the stories from the elders in that area about all the gambling and clubs. The mob actually brought money and work to a lot of common people when there was little to no work. They had class not going around mowing down people in the middle of the street . I know these guys had regret but they had class. I can remember how protective they was over their families. God rest these mens soul. They did what they had to do to make money.
Awesome to hear Frank’s hard Chicago accent again. Frank had one of the most distinct voices I’ve ever heard. He told the story in his book (The rise & Fall of a Casino Mobster) about running into Nancy at a pharmacy in Vegas Years later and how she recognized his voice from across the store, I can totally relate. RIP F.C.!
Lefty Rosenthal was 1 of the main consultants on the movie casino ....and people wonder why the movie puts him in such a favorable light in terms of status compared to Tony spilotro...
@@mikelanden this is the first time I've heard Lefty Rosenthal was an advisor on the film. he wasn't....Frank Cullotta was the only adviser... not sure where you've heard that.. the reason DeNiro's character came off favourable was because it is all Hollywood and it is all made for money....and for the audience to relate to the characters... if all the characters were true to life they would just be a bunch of brutal Killers and the audience wouldn't care what happened to them... everything he does is twisted for the public sheeps consumption.. good movies.. but that's all they are .. entertainment

@@mikelanden yeah ok.. just read now at first Rosenthal wanted nothing to do with it.. then he heard Robert De Niro was playing him so invited Robert to his house and then Rosenthal opened up a bit more about his life..... also find it a bit strange that no one really knows who bombed Rosenthal's car..... Frank Cullotta was a bomb guy and was one of Spilotro's main men..... surely it was Frank Cullotta...
Thank you Adam for all the hours, sacrifice, and hustle you're putting in. I apologize if you've addressed this already; but how is the script coming along and what do you think about "Legitimate Wiseguy" Again, thanks
Ah Frank, can't believe he is gone. Red is great but there was only one Frank Cullotta with the humor, the accent, the recall, and the way he told a story. I recently watched Frank again on TV on Bar Rescue when they redid Champaign's and Frank was great.
@@mobvlog3156 My first podcast. I didn't know what a podcast was and came across Frank on RUclips knowing who he was for years and started watching Coffee with Cullotta. Then I found a great Soprano's podcast and Gary Jenkins from Kansas City. My last three are Michael Franzese from the Columbo crime family and Deep Cover with Joe Pistone(Donnie Brasco) and Leo Rossi. They are great but only do around 30 minutes. Oh I also checked out Red's bedtime stories and a guy named John William Tuohy has some good crime stuff. Thanks for all your hard work Adam. I appreciate it very much! Jack
These will be a series of unedited flashback shorts. I plan to keep them around 8 or 9 min for people to watch. Not everyone watched every episode, so we will see what happens.
I miss the ol guy 😞😔. No disrespect to you Adam you seem like a good guy and I know you trying your hardest to get some great content on this channel but not for nothing. The channel just isn’t the same without him. 😞 you doin a hell of a job tho. I know Frank would of been proud of ya👍🏻
Way too familiar. My Dad’s side of the family is Sicilian and Polish. My grandfather ran a liquor store in Maple Heights when the mafia was still strong there. He told my dad he never did business with those guys but as legend has it my great grandfather died young in “multiple different ways”. Sicilians were no one to mess with. They still aren’t but a lot of the ones I know would be the guy to step in to save your life if you were in trouble.
LMAO! @ approx. 6:50 mark. They should make that portion of the video accessible to all the Ding Bats out there. 😁👊 (I was looking for a middle finger "jag off.")
Hey Adam. I have a question that has gone unanswered for decades. I have watched all the Coffee with Cullata episodes, but unless I missed it, the name Alan Dorfman has not come up. Back in the 80's Dorfman was wacked at a hotel in Lincolnwood, IL. Did Frank ever mention this and if so what episode is this subject covered? Thanks Adam. RIP Frank.
Apparently, Frank has never been to an induction ceremony. His talk about that was just to divert attention from the real thing. In fact people had ceremonies in Chicago and it was never performed by just one man like the Ant.
Trump's a "failed business man" huh (according to a question). A Billionaire Twice is a failed business man? And a business man is exacty what the Country needs. A non Politician business man who defended our Country, got the Economy rolling.
Just so we don't loose complete reference to who Frank really was, Ernie Devino who Franks testimony convicted and spent 20 plus years in prison before being released has an interview and short video on RUclips or did have. It was hard to find but if you look it's on there.
@Simon Phoenix Yes, we decided to change the name and leave the original logo as an homage to Frank. You can watch all of his videos here in this playlist if you would like. We numbered them 1 -100 for you. ruclips.net/p/PLfhI4SaVwRw5raKteSF3sLwQbIO7A2v9s
@@mobvlog3156 thank you very much for the response! this is very nice of you to keep the channel active! I definitely have a great playlist to listen to at work. God bless you and RIP Frank!
I love Frank but he’s taking out his ass here. He was never made, how could Tony make him in Vegas? Tony wasn’t a boss, Vegas wasn’t a family. The strength and power of LCN is in its recognisantion of a friend. It’s the network that gives it its power. Certain rules, like introductions, status, are critical. Sorry Frank, no.
Lol again don’t mean to be a mob Karen lol, but Frank I don’t think understands the organisation he was a part of. Tony doesn’t outrank Lombardo. It doesn’t matter how many soldiers you have under you - even if it did - Lombardo controlled an army with the grand Avenue crew. Tony was with Lombardo. We see this all the time guys from the life don’t understand what goes on above their orbit.
It's better not to be made,a lot of guys here in New York were powerful associate's They do not need a button to operate. Jimmy Burke,Joe watts,Eddie boyle...name a few., because they were not Italian on thier father's side rules then,but if you're Italian I believe you can not refuse to be made. So I understand what you are talking about.
@@minecraftlord568 You don't need a family to be a boss, but a territory. Lombardo was a boss/capo with several lieutenants that the FBI/informants would call "street bosses," with soldiers under them, including Michael Spilotro until he died. When Tony was in Vegas, he answered directly to Aiuppa(Also from FBI), the "top boss." So even if there was no official position of Capo for Vegas, Tony was at least a street boss. No one fully knows (publicly) what the structure was in Chicago, because no high ranking members have testified, but the FBI had been able to put quite a lot of it together, and it's very different from how it was in places like NY, not that either city ever followed a rigid textbook command structure. If Tony or Joe Lombardo told Frank he's now a part of the Outfit, that might be all he knows, and how he understands it. The few years Frank was in Vegas, he was known as an outfit guy. He's also Sicilian. We don't even know for sure if the outfit had an induction ceremony. I could be wrong, but I believe the only guy who has publicly claimed there was a ceremony was Frank Calabrese Jr. who wasn't a made man. Frank also claims that he was sent back to Chicago on Tony's behalf, and met with bosses like Lombardo and Aiuppa. He's either lying and never went, or they were treating him like a member.
