Ive heard many teamsters say after the mob was distanced from the Unions all the workers hated it. Less vacations,less insurance,less pay,an less raises.
Shut up! Maybe u heard right but those are not the reality. Especially vegas, do u know vegas became 100 x more profitable all around the casino. The workers wedge n salary increase with perspective. Not saying the mob good or bad but check out the reality.
As far as we know...one thing I learned in life is things are never as simple as meets the eye and the guy who tells you the story always has an agenda so you don't know the full you only get the half
Screwing some dumpy, flat assed, south of the border maid in his family home? And every day she talks to the FBI? That's where he lost the respect of his family. They're ALL incredibly greedy, and that's accepted. But Paul lost his fucking mind.
Paul (from my vantage point), broke the golden rule of taking care of your people. I’m no wise guy or gangster but in that line of work, I’m of the belief that taking care of your people would be priority.
I love how Sammy recalls all these gangsters in such a polite manner. You would think they're all nice polite guys from his memory, not scheming murdering pricks.
@@BirdFromYakiVegas , Growing up on Boston around the Patriarca family guys in the neighborhood I can say that they were actually really polite except if you were dumb enough to do business with them or borrow money on interest from those guys. They actually did a lot for charity and the community to be honest. However, their associates and non-made crews were a different story. Those guys were the ones that would do something awful like steal candy from a kid in a wheelchair and the try to sell it back to them.
Anyone old enough to remember when they poured radioactive Waste from tankers into the gasoline storage tanks ? Along with all sorts of other toxic waste This was in the 70s
Didn’t someone boost a whole huge oil container (hundreds of thousands of gallons) by off-loading almost all the oil into tanker trucks (leaving just a thin layer in the big tank) then refilled the main container with water. When the audit guy came around he stuck his dipstick in and when he pulls it up the stick is coated with oil-no problem. Until they started delivering 90% water to the gasoline refinery.
It’s so crazy to think that when I get home from work every other day, I open RUclips And I’m expecting a video from the former Underboss of the Gambino crime family lol
Crazy. Daily videos of Sammy the Bull chatting away. Q&A live videos a couple times a month on his Patreon. I remember watching his first interview on TV and everybody talking about it in school the next day. I missed most of Gaspipe's interview when it aired and I was kicking myself. Didn't see the full interview until someone uploaded on RUclips years later. Now I've watched it 100 times.
Paul was the real theif. Do u guys remember the time Sammy told us he said "The biggest gangsters are the police." And Roy Demeo said ," The next time he needs a guy whacked, he should call the police."
I was just a kid when you and John got caught up now I’m a grown man with kids of my own and here you are free and able to tell the stories my life wasn’t much different than yours I was a street soldier as a kid my closet friend was from Benson Hurst New York we lived our lives basically by the rules you guys laid out been a regular smuck for almost 15 years now your stories bring it all back like a flood thank you Sammy
Makes the Sopranos look like a kids program... I've watched everything he has put out.. can't get enough of his stories.. I thought I had a good memory.. Sammy remembers every single detail.. absolutely incredible
He can making up many stories that only him & a dead man can confirm. John Gotty never liked him or trusted Sammy the bull he was a thro away guy that sang like a canary 🐦 just like Gotty knew he would. Thats y Gotty wanted Sammy dead.
@@sallymay3643 you definitely have been getting your information from Hollywood and tiktok.. Sammy The Bull rose through the ranks and became the underboss of the largest most powerful family in New York through hard work and respect... he would have got absolutely no where if he wasn't trusted, respectedor loved ... Sammy gravano was respected by everybody in all the different families.. Gotti loved Sammy and vice versa. Gotti took the throne by Killing Paul. any other way Gotti would never of made boss... Sammy The Bull gravano lived his Life by pure Cosa Nostra and would love and respect anyone who became boss.... It is documented fact that Gotti threw sammy under the bus to save his own skin... to which it made sammy realise enough is enough of this joke.... Gotti completely ruined the mob in America. And everyone knows this.. Another thing..99% of Sammy's stories don't even involve John Gotti.....and I do not think you will find any gangster that will question anything Sammy has ever said... Sammy is pure Cosa Nostra
I heard they actually had to slap him to shut him up... Back in the day the cops used to have to beat us to make us talk, they had to beat him to SHUT HIM UP... LMAO
Nah they sat up got popcorn pizza Burgers and hot dogs and a conoli stay away from savage life da clean up man started a trend and it ended this thing of ours
Paul was making hundred's of millions from the family's operations; why would he cheat his underling out of a mere 40k (especially, when he had already received his cut)?? This is the type of behavior which sows resentment, cynicism, mistrust, disenchantment and hatred towards the leadership of any organization, from it's lower ranks.
Its greed no diffrent from any other elite and hedge fund managers. Buy a good operating company and clean house. Remeber ultimate power always corrupts history repeats itself over and over.
maybe i aint the guy to make a comment here, but mr Gravano had better reasons to be part of that job....and besides he had an influence he was loyal to and intertwined with his own personal goals
There was a very specific reason why Paul gave the “quiet signal” to Sammy. And I heard on the streets Paul Castellano’s additional 40K went to one man and one man only - Gianni Russo. True story
Sammy you just answered my decades long question why Bay Street... Van Duzer... Victory blvd... and the surrounding areas all stink so bad!... They ruined my neighborhood with that toxic waste!... No wonder our kids on Staten Island are so short! ☺️
I used to go hunting where there was nothing alive but the rats. In the old sayreville garbage dump across from the Staten Island garbage dump.

Thanks for story time !!! I watch all of these like a kid around a campfire !!! Truly blessed to live in a time where you can speak up and out about any of it so many mysterys and hidden info us common people would have just wondered ...anyways guys n gals I prey u have a blessed day and I prey your familes and friends all stay safe and healthy and live beautiful long life's!!! ❤
I wish you guys were still around our city would be all union!! Our city is filled with SCAB RATS!!! I am a NYC Local 40 Ironworker, all the old timers said you guys did the right thing by us
@Miles Maillet It was the BAs and BMs that made bad investments with funds. Every job was union back then, now it is guys with American flags on their truck window paying guys $10 a hour. My Local was not effected by corruption anyway but, every job had union workers as it should be! You are right as the laborers and carpenters got screwed but it was by their upper management!
Sammy is a master storyteller. I really like how he frames and chronicles his stories. He doesn’t just say “Ya, Paul got me for $40k once” and moves on to something else. He starts from the inception of that specific piece of the timeline. You think he’s going to end up saying the non union boss tried to stiff him so he killed him. He’s a natural He does this with all of his stories.
Love this man. He is not a perfect man but he is real and genuine. I love his stories and testimonials and am very glad that Christ above protected him to live long enough to tell his truth.
Amazing you puds are watching him just like me. If you're so put off by it don't watch or do you just find random videos and harass fans in the comments?
Once Paul didn’t give him that $40k, his days were numbered! Edit: $40k in 1970 is equivalent in purchasing power to almost $300k today. So Paul was literally begging to get clipped.
@@garry8592 Thank you, it IS starting to heat up again, though the media obviously won't touch it yet. Blessings ever to you and all those you love, From Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Either Paul orchestrated it or when given the money decided to keep it for himself. Low blow for someone as wealthy as Paul. I guess he figured Sammy was rich enough and wouldn't bring up the 40K Paul stole from him. Paul was right about Sammy's silence but Paul's greed during his entire reign as Boss is what got him whacked.
Hey mr. Gravano, My name is Dave D, I own a small bakery in Cranston Rhode Island, where we all know Rhode Island is one of the most corrupt states in the country, but it’s my home! I love your stories! I’ve always been fascinated with what really went on behind the scenes! Ur awesome my friend! Keep up the hard work! And thank you 👍
So Sammy creates a demolition deal that earns Castellano 40K, and then when Castellano is given Sammy's 40K in error he just keeps it? Why would a boss rip him off like that, besides the obvious?
I heard about this story since I was a kid. I have a family member who was at that job in Staten Island and when he found out what they were dumping there he left. Thankfully he did cuz they all got busted right after that.
This story reminded me The Sopranos and the beef they had with New York about the dumping of asbestos and it's interesting he mentioned the DeCavalcante which was the family running New Jersey.
Trump is still dumping his toxic waste on the country. Sammy Gravano has the best story-telling voice, should be writing a revival of the Sopranos type, with his own stories
What do you think is the real story about what happened with the managers of Trump's casinos. They were about to testify about the financial ruin of the casinos. They all died in a heliçopter "accident".

Sammy, Your story shows that you guys, back then, had a code of living and doing business, that has not since, been emulated. Thank you for sharing. You took me back.
Im glad to see that Sammy wasn't always about kill kill kill. He checked things out to see if a hit was warranted. John on the other was more on the side of killing without checking things out first. I don't blame Sammy one bit for doing what he did. Johns ways put himself behind bars more then Sammy did.
Sammy came up from the ranks as an ... ENFORCER ... and ALL that entailed. He was never the decision man or the one ... to give his blessings ... as he claims. Geez, ppl, being a crafted liar is the #1 'art' of ALL 'gangsters' as well as ALL politicians. Get a grip!
This man is a legend of the criminal underworld, regardless of how he went out. Very interesting hearing about his dealings with the powerful people of NYC.
He seems like a decent guy to deal with back then. Some of those type of guys are like movie stars, they are very full of themselves and are bullies because they can be.
Sammy's name popped up and I had to wait until I got home to watch needless to say I got home asap and sat down and hurried to RUclips quickly as humanly possible. Lol .I LOVE Sammy and every single story he tells. Stay safe everyone.
Youz a hero just like the judge labeled you، I study your stories and found out that you sir, is a legend and mans man! May the universe bless you sir 🎩
Im not going to mention the last names, but I was 13 when a family moved into my neighborhood in 83, out on Long Island, they moved from Massapequa, and some of the guys lived there, I was taught 2 skills, Restaurant management,(which I would manage 3 restaurants) for a few families,and put on union mason jobs, at 13 I was making a ton working on Mason Jobs, as a teen and on..in between being in the USAF, I went and got a Bachelors in Applied Sciences in masonry in 94.on the jobs 2 of these guys would sit in chairs with cheese, potatoes, peppers, with a pocketknife and yell"hey kid its time to eat" and I would eat with them, and they would teach me things about life, that were so valuable. and I learned the old ways the right way to do masonry work,still in context as the last restaurant they needed me to run, while they left the country was in 99'.and I won't even go into what happened to kids that bullied me...if asked,I have the names and the town and the restaurants,but believe me or not ..i won't say a thing A12B1
Even though it’s hypothetical, I can’t help but wonder how things would’ve turned out, had Frank DeCicco lived! Seemed like a smart man who knew the life! Would love to hear more stories about him.
I totally agree. Sammy please do not wear that drivers cap. It does nothing for your look. You look much better naturally. Bald is the look now, so be comfortable and be yourself... you look great. Very handsome..
They sound so real but if you know the life or anybody else in that life you know that he's full of it oh Sammy did was hold an umbrella for Gotti he was under Gotti's shadow nothing else.

That's my background, Union Construction in New Jersey. It was an interesting time
I believe it was the insurance companies. My last ten years saw 75% of our raises go to them . Carpenters Union
And they had to actually work to get paid!
Paul was making a million a week from one company alone, and he rips off one of his loyal guys for his measly $40k.
No surprise he got killed.

“Ham an egger” 🤣😂 I haven’t heard that in 30+ years.. LOVE hearing this.. memories
Sammy a living legend and admirable in his own right. One of the last REAL ones. .
This is HISTORY folks.
who else hits the like button before the video even starts!?
lol! I’m not alone🤩
I don’t.
Same
I thought I was the only one doing it. 😂😂 I already know it’s going to be a good one. 😂😂
😂 I was thinking the same thing, and I saw your comment on top haaa
Thanks for story time !!! I watch all of these like a kid around a campfire !!! Truly blessed to live in a time where you can speak up and out about any of it so many mysterys and hidden info us common people would have just wondered ...anyways guys n gals I prey u have a blessed day and I prey your familes and friends all stay safe and healthy and live beautiful long life's!!! ❤
I wish you guys were still around our city would be all union!! Our city is filled with SCAB RATS!!! I am a NYC Local 40 Ironworker, all the old timers said you guys did the right thing by us
One-third materials, two-thirds labor back then.
@Miles Maillet It was the BAs and BMs that made bad investments with funds. Every job was union back then, now it is guys with American flags on their truck window paying guys $10 a hour. My Local was not effected by corruption anyway but, every job had union workers as it should be! You are right as the laborers and carpenters got screwed but it was by their upper management!
Sammy is a master storyteller. I really like how he frames and chronicles his stories. He doesn’t just say “Ya, Paul got me for $40k once” and moves on to something else. He starts from the inception of that specific piece of the timeline. You think he’s going to end up saying the non union boss tried to stiff him so he killed him. He’s a natural
He does this with all of his stories.
Quentin Terrantino needs to get with Sammy. That could be magic cinema
Scorsese
Love this man. He is not a perfect man but he is real and genuine. I love his stories and testimonials and am very glad that Christ above protected him to live long enough to tell his truth.
“Part 1 of 2”
Me: I’m going to wait for the second part of the video before watching.
Also Me: *Begins to watch Part I”
Season one of our thing is over so now all the shorter videos have to be cliffhanger endings
RUclips's best storyteller hands down right here. What a life this guy had lol.
You respect him why? He's more valuable to who?
Amazing what fanbois idolize.
Makes millions off a life of killing people and telling about it now
Amazing you puds are watching him just like me. If you're so put off by it don't watch or do you just find random videos and harass fans in the comments?
He said: "Ham and egger lawyer." Fuckin' rollin' on the floor with that one...Damn....
not heard that in 25 -30 years
Sammy's supperpower is remembering people's first and last names.
Yeah and singing like a songbird
Robert is that really fair to say? Why compare him to a singing bird?
He is clearly telling stories from his past not singing.
Good health to you Mr .G. Thank you for another story .
Tell a story about Michael Franzese 👏🔥
Yes, let's get that rollin!
Michael tells hi own stories to Patrick Beth David.
NO!
You also bought Paul a steak dinner too :) outside of the steakhouse
And your not dyslexic.You sir..have the gift of genius!!!
“The maid let me in” 😂
Once Paul didn’t give him that $40k, his days were numbered!
Edit: $40k in 1970 is equivalent in purchasing power to almost $300k today. So Paul was literally begging to get clipped.
Not sure If Big Paul got hit by Gotti bc Paul was cheap and greedy, or Gotti wanted to Be a boss no matter what. Maybe both.
That's when I would make the sign of the gun those dirty rotten bastards stealing your money you're the one that set up the deal they would have to go
Thank you Sir. Blessings ever from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
I hear there's a lot of sinners in Ireland.
@@michaelhernon8163 listen shriner, there are lots of sinners everywhere.
Hope y'all don't regress back to The Troubles. Stay safe.
@@garry8592 Thank you, it IS starting to heat up again, though the media obviously won't touch it yet. Blessings ever to you and all those you love, From Belfast, Northern Ireland.
I swear I can sit for hours listening to Sammy’s stories , especially Marie stories 🤣
I have
I love these bed time stories and I'm only 49 😂
Either Paul orchestrated it or when given the money decided to keep it for himself. Low blow for someone as wealthy as Paul. I guess he figured Sammy was rich enough and wouldn't bring up the 40K Paul stole from him. Paul was right about Sammy's silence but Paul's greed during his entire reign as Boss is what got him whacked.
So Sammy... is the steak dinner you made the bet on some code for letting us know you organized the hit on Paul at that steakhouse? 👀
I was wondering kind of the same thing - was the dinner at Sparks? Or, more likely Peter’s.
Hey mr. Gravano, My name is Dave D, I own a small bakery in Cranston Rhode Island, where we all know Rhode Island is one of the most corrupt states in the country, but it’s my home! I love your stories! I’ve always been fascinated with what really went on behind the scenes! Ur awesome my friend! Keep up the hard work! And thank you 👍
So Sammy creates a demolition deal that earns Castellano 40K, and then when Castellano is given Sammy's 40K in error he just keeps it? Why would a boss rip him off like that, besides the obvious?
I heard about this story since I was a kid. I have a family member who was at that job in Staten Island and when he found out what they were dumping there he left. Thankfully he did cuz they all got busted right after that.
Thankyou for these stories Mr Gravano. You are appreciated over here in the UK🇬🇧
Sammy I just subscribed, I appreciate the content and your stories are great, thank you for sharing with us it means a lot
Welp I think you returned the favor in front of sparks lol
how ironic hahaha
@@tommyshelby968 In front of a steak house, and a good steakhouse
LOL I think he honored that bet of a good steak dinner at Sparks...
He said he did
When it comes to your story Sammy I can wait till Friday I appreciate your stories brother you put us right there with you my friend
This story reminded me The Sopranos and the beef they had with New York about the dumping of asbestos and it's interesting he mentioned the DeCavalcante which was the family running New Jersey.
I thought the about the same thing. Some of the Sopranos was based off of actual events
Great story, can't wait for part 2, thanks Boss.
Trump is still dumping his toxic waste on the country. Sammy Gravano has the best
story-telling voice, should be writing a revival of the Sopranos type, with his own stories
shutupdummy
Lets gooo !!! Happy Birthday to all of us !!! 🧡💙🇺🇲🇮🇹💪🏼💪🏼🤙🏼
Happy Birthday for what? Columbus Day?
@@TheWalterSamuel21 Nooo, Mr Gravano dropped another hit. 🤣😂
@@ChristianBaleNutjob These videos are like having a birthday everytime they drop. 💪🏼🤙🏼
Big neck 😁😂
@@jpaino141 you must have some real lame birthdays...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What do you think is the real story about what happened with the managers of Trump's casinos. They were about to testify about the financial ruin of the casinos. They all died in a heliçopter "accident".
Keep them coming Sammy especially the Podcast videos they are my Favorite on Utube I cant get enough of ur stories u tell them straight up and it makes me feel Like I'm there and u dont sugar coat them for Utube u tell us 100% of the story the good, the bad and the ugly and I respect that!!! Keep it up brother!
If you like Sammy so much, then why don't you marry him?
@@straightlead8 I'm writing him a comment and complementing his videos you know what 90% of ppl on here are doing besides me Dont write something so dumb and childish to me ever again my God get a life man lol wow smh
I like when Sammy "Goes back.....a little bit" 🤏
I can handle Sammy saying that but not Jenn pasaki saying "I'll circle back"
Sitting in Vermont, watching the beautiful lake Champlain on Colchester bay out my back yard, smoking an overpriced thc pen and watching this. Perfect
A playlist with everything categorized would get tons of views, how many of us fall asleep to these..
"Mafioso Bedtime stories"
I listen to these things going to sleep every night. My wife wants a divorce.
@@fvecc sleep with one eye open, she's listening to them too.
when sammy isnt wearing a scally cap u know hes serious
Forreal 😂👍🏽
This is what a shot caller looks and sounds like.
If he also take off the glasses then he looks like a cold blooded zombie
When you type something we know its a joke
He should be wearing a top hat 🎩
Your patron page is well put together. Everything youv been doing on RUclips and patreon has been excellent quality. You have a great team of people along with yourself working this thing 👏
I think Sammy should run for the governor of New York
Sammy knows where ALL the bodies are buried, Sammy has the goods on The Who’s Who Of politics in the BIG Apple 🍎 Rudy will be shitting bricks of Asbestos when the Truth hits the front pages. In the BIG 🍎 everything is connected Capisci.
LMMFAO!
Sammy, Your story shows that you guys, back then, had a code of living and doing business, that has not since, been emulated. Thank you for sharing. You took me back.
Im glad to see that Sammy wasn't always about kill kill kill. He checked things out to see if a hit was warranted. John on the other was more on the side of killing without checking things out first. I don't blame Sammy one bit for doing what he did. Johns ways put himself behind bars more then Sammy did.
Stop making excuses for ratting. 2 wrongs dont make a right.
Sammy came up from the ranks as an ... ENFORCER ... and ALL that entailed. He was never the decision man or the one ... to give his blessings ... as he claims. Geez, ppl, being a crafted liar is the #1 'art' of ALL 'gangsters' as well as ALL politicians. Get a grip!
This man is a legend of the criminal underworld, regardless of how he went out. Very interesting hearing about his dealings with the powerful people of NYC.
A great Sammy story on my birthday. Wonderful!
Happy birthday pal
Happy B Day , hope it's wonderful
Cheers
&
God Bless
Happy birthday, and remember it
I love the authenticity of your stories! You tell it like you saw it! That makes it show in our minds like a fly on the wall movie! Cheers!
So proud of you bro! You’ve overcome so much and have become a respected member of society again! God bless you and your family Sammy!
Get off the Meth!!!...finokio!
He seems like a decent guy to deal with back then. Some of those type of guys are like movie stars, they are very full of themselves and are bullies because they can be.
Hot damn! Drop what you’re doing. It’s Sammy Time!
Good Evening ,luv listening to Sammy The Bulls Stories ,Really good
Sammy's name popped up and I had to wait until I got home to watch needless to say I got home asap and sat down and hurried to RUclips quickly as humanly possible. Lol .I LOVE Sammy and every single story he tells. Stay safe everyone.
Wow. U need too get over scumbags
Stay safe
Youz a hero just like the judge labeled you، I study your stories and found out that you sir, is a legend and mans man! May the universe bless you sir 🎩
This one gonna blow up
Sammy heard you sell propane and propane accessories, he wants in, .......if you want Bobby to stay healthy...
Im not going to mention the last names, but I was 13 when a family moved into my neighborhood in 83, out on Long Island, they moved from Massapequa, and some of the guys lived there, I was taught 2 skills, Restaurant management,(which I would manage 3 restaurants) for a few families,and put on union mason jobs, at 13 I was making a ton working on Mason Jobs, as a teen and on..in between being in the USAF, I went and got a Bachelors in Applied Sciences in masonry in 94.on the jobs 2 of these guys would sit in chairs with cheese, potatoes, peppers, with a pocketknife and yell"hey kid its time to eat" and I would eat with them, and they would teach me things about life, that were so valuable. and I learned the old ways the right way to do masonry work,still in context as the last restaurant they needed me to run, while they left the country was in 99'.and I won't even go into what happened to kids that bullied me...if asked,I have the names and the town and the restaurants,but believe me or not ..i won't say a thing

Smoking my marijuana paired with your stories are such an amazing combination thanks again and love ya Sammy the bull
4real
Its cannabis when u say it like that it sounds like your being a faeces and your a bitter dea agent 😆
Ohh yer. Hollywood OG
Get back to work covering up crimes FBI agent
Lemon Haze keeps me lit for hours listening to these story's ✌👌🙌
I'm 66, from New Jersey, spent my life in union heavy construction. I wasn't blind, need I say more
How can you not beleve a stellar creature like this?
Even though it’s hypothetical, I can’t help but wonder how things would’ve turned out, had Frank DeCicco lived! Seemed like a smart man who knew the life! Would love to hear more stories about him.
Imagine if Chin, Gas pipe and Vic were successful when they tried to kill Gotti?
Sammy looks awesome with the bald head! No hat required 🇮🇹🇺🇸💪🏻
I totally agree. Sammy please do not wear that drivers cap. It does nothing for your look. You look much better naturally. Bald is the look now, so be comfortable and be yourself... you look great. Very handsome..
You make these stories sound so real i feel like iam there keep up the stories sir
They sound so real but if you know the life or anybody else in that life you know that he's full of it oh Sammy did was hold an umbrella for Gotti he was under Gotti's shadow nothing else.
I could listen to these stories all day!
Gotta love Sammy's chuckle when telling a funny anecdote 😂
