In this episode of Youngstown Mob Talk, Johnny Chechitelli and James Naples pull an interview from the vault with local burglar and mob associate Frank Susany. Frankie wanted to come on the show and talk about his old friend, and mob hitman, Mark Batcho. This interview was a part of the very first Youngstown Mob Talk live show at the Robins Theatre in Feb. 2023.

Frankie, aka "The Good Guy," talks about the human side of Mark that most people have never heard about. He also shares a couple off the cuff stories like what Joey Naples' crew talked about after the boss was assassinated in 1991 and picking up one of the Carabbia brothers from prison.

In this episode of Youngstown Mob Talk, Johnny Chechitelli and James Naples discuss the unbelievable true story of Benjamin Holmes. Ben tells his story as a mechanic in the late 1970s in Youngstown, who specialized in making car parts for drag racers. One day, some Muslim gangsters approached Ben to convert lawnmower mufflers into silencers for pistols. Next, the mob wanted his services as well.

As detailed in Ben's book "Mob Deep," he got mixed up between Joey Naples' gangsters, fake Muslim gangsters and crooked cops from the Hubbard Police Department. Eventually, Ben's house was bombed and he was badly burned. He was also threatened with charges from the cops, so he faked his own death and hid out on the lam for two decades, until the coast was clear... or so he thought.
