I remember Frank when he was a punk ass kid running with my lil brother and his crew. Always a quiet respectful kid with a giant chip on his shoulder. Glad to see that he's doing well for himself and helping out others in need.

@mikeazriel5116 8 ай бұрын

Yeah he was a little skinny pill popping kid but I noticed he does live through his wives life plus he wasn't running around Kensington badlands robbing anyone he was cutting hair for Oxy but his story keeps getting better and better he didn't say anything about all this on 23&1 internet got ppl living their best lies. Smh

@@mikeazriel5116 I never really got to "know" the kid like my brother did so i cant really comment on his stories. However, i have watched and or listened to other podcasts that had guests that i had known personally and they did kinda imbellish a bit here and there to prevent their stories from becoming stagnate and boring. Obviously you have your reasons for calling out his "lies" but i really cant do the same.

But this man is clearly lying about a lot of the things he did when he talks about his family and childhood or whatever it’s a smoothing conversation he doesn’t stutter the delivery is smooth everything makes sense but once he talks about his thug life in a lot of those stories he starts stuttering and like trying to the say the right to to sound good, when ian asked a few clarifying questions my man sounded like an ak47 “tuh tuh tuh tuh” 😂😂😂

@zaccook1030 8 ай бұрын

I don't know for sure or I don't know this dude personally but I live outside of Philly and the county he's talking about is most likely York county. And the way he's talking about locking the whole city down and I'm assuming that's probably your or Lancaster or something like that because you know one person down know dis respect to anybody. But if I had a guess I'll be like around that way cuz he mentioned spending time in central Pennsylvania and that all kind of makes sense I was thinking the same thing too and I've had you know friends that have lived in halfway houses with and we had to go visit girls in dudes that we're getting deported but they all got transferred to York County and that was from Bucks County. I don't know I might be wrong that's just how I know it to be back in the you know early thousands mid to late thousands and just the price difference from 78 to a buck and a half definitely means it's out in the county somewhere and then further from Delaware County and Bucks County for sure LOL but anyway hope Frank keeps his motion going and Ian you doing a great job with the podcast my man opening the eyes of a lot of people who most likely wouldn't even know some of these foul things are going on to their loved ones in the jail we all appreciate that.

Im a couple years older than Frankie but if memory serves me right he went to Northumberland County Prison (NCP as us locals called it) at 16. Its closed down now but its an old Shawshank, ancient stone castle looking joint. Back then they mostly housed whites in Left Wing and blacks, hispanics, etc in Right Wing. Im not sure why they called it a "prison" because it just a good ole county jail. Anyway, i could be wrong but im pretty sure it was NCP that opened their loving arms to him at 16. Lol

Wait a second.. 15 years old, and you bested a guy “in tip-top shape,” but wait.. then you switch up, and say that you lost. You almost had me. When your life has taken you down that road the majority of your life, and then you listen to someone that portrays themselves as being down that same similar road.. you know when someone is making stuff up as they go. People these days will do anything to be relevant.

Wouldnt they leave at night and leave the money there and then wake up in the morning to deposit the money? Ive worked in the business and there shouldnt be a reason anyone should come out at 1am with a bag of money to do what with it bring it home until the morning when theyre supposed to deoosit it? No..they would leave it locked in the store over night in the safe and come in the am and deposit it.
