EPISODE 16

Frank's mother has died and Fritzy consoles his pal as only he can. First, he complains that his own mom is driving him crazy. He follows with the obligatory rant about the missus. Then the guys laugh about the kooky antics of Genovese boss Vincent "Chin" Gigante, who's been noshing with "The Bloomer" at the Carnegie Deli. Oh, and we don't know if those nuns still hustle the West Side piers. (7:43)
