09-11: 9/11 Remembrances. Anthony Weiner & Eliot Spitzer Headlines

The Wise Guys remember the 9/11 heroes today - including some of their personal friends and connections. They also talk about Anthony Weiner's loss in the New York mayoral race -- and his bush league behavior afterwards. 

Plus, they laugh about some of the New York Post's headlines blasting Weiner and fellow scandalous candidate Eliot Spitzer. See the entire set here - including ones the Wise Guys weren't allowed to read on the air! 

Chris' sound effect machine seems to fail today - much to everyone's relief and his humiliation! 

Finally, they discuss how it's a crime that Antoinette Tuff (whom the Wise Guys honored during their August 24 episode) was apparently deleted from Wikipedia - and what a little snots club the online wiktionary has become.

08-24: Frank Cullotta Interview. Race & Murder. Chris Brown Shelved.

One of the ultimate fly-on-the-wall sessions: The Wise Guys interview "The Las Vegas Boss" Frank Cullotta! Plus, they put Chris Brown on the Shelf, discuss race and whether or not it's involved in two recent, high profile shootings, and honor a brave woman who helped talk down a crazy gunman.

Frank Cullotta Interviewed

Nicky, Al, Bobby and Chris interviewed former Chicago Outfit member Frank Cullotta, who is also known as the "Las Vegas Boss." (Nicky asks if he was really a boss - Mr. Cullotta clears it up). Spirituality, murder, morals, family (like, the traditional kind) and much more are discussed in this revealing, entertaining and fascinating interview. Meet Frank at Mob-Con in Las Vegas and buy his book Cullotta: The Life of a Chicago Criminal, Las Vegas Mobster and Government Witness now!

Wise Guys: Six Days a Week!

Race in High Profile Murders

Did race play a part in the Oklahoma murder of a baseball player and Washington beating death of elderly vet? The Wise Guys disclose interesting information about their personal families before taking up the issue.

Chris Brown: Shelved

Girl-beating singer Chris Brown -- who once renounced gang violence -- has taken up with the Bloods street gang. The Wise Guys put him on the Shelf.

Antoinette Tuff
