Sammy should read children's bedtime stories:
"There was 3 little pigs. 2 of the pigs got their houses blown down by the wolf. But the last pig was a friend of ours. So when the wolf came around and knocked on his door, he kept his mouth shut, waited with a boiling pot of water and got even. That's Cosa Nostra bro."
Or there were 3 little pigs and the wolf got hold of one pig and that pig gave the other two little pigs house away so he got away.
More like. They blew da house up and I pressed charges and put them in jail for 20 years!
When he was talking about using Siri, I thought, "If the tv doesn't turn to Netflixx fast enough would Sammy shoot the tv?"
😂😂😂
, 👍👍👍
Sammy reading The Better Help therapy advertisement is priceless 😂😂😂 … “Is sumthin’ botherin’ yous? Good news. Help is a phone call away. Take it from me, Sammy da Bull. Ya can’t run from ya problems.”
ikr 😂😂
You got a problem you need to make disappear, come see Sammy the Bull
Pfthhhhh😂😂😂
Lmaooooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Listening to sammy explain the concept of a pension (like it was a bad thing) in the beginning was hilarious
Love Sammy's stories, but I don't think he understands the effect of inflation on prices either. 🤔
With that said, his point that corruption and conspiracy within Unions and Politics is, well, a good and valid one. It's just his example at the beginning to illustrate that fell flat a little.
@@28happenstance $3200 In 63 is
Money was worth more back in those times..also people wer more simple and poor..
@@Kree901People were human beings back then. Now they're all but androids walking around with fake body parts and dumber than a hammer with no handle.
And when you cut under the table deals for 5 generations equals out to what we have now for focus for 40 grand
Love my fri nights with Sammy. Its like sitting around a camp fire listening to a great story before you go to dreamland.
Someone has to tell these stories as they are historically important, and those who tell it are not gonna be choir boys that's for sure. Mr. Gravano is a great communicator with a rich inside knowledge.
Sammy is the greatest story teller ever. I could sit and listen to him all day (and sometimes do) Take care Sammy.
🤟🤟🤟yes 4sure
He'd have been a great presidential press secretary.
Get a life
I've done The same listening to him all day i never get sick of his story's you the man Sammy 👍😎
The only thing better than listening to Sammy tell stories is Sammy advising his audience, as a RUclipsr, that it’s OK to seek therapy. I’m in fact a therapist but I still think that’s just bloody hilarious and comedy gold!
I love when I hear the violins an the words for the first time Sammy gravano tells his story . Our thing truly has become my thing
Sammy quick fingers 😂❤ bless you Sammy your vibe is so authentic. Your soul shines so brightly.
Watched every single episode in about 2 days. Gripping stuff on every level. Thanks for telling these stories Sammy . You’re a legend/
Miss the 2 to 3 weekly Sammy stories. Hope you are ok and coming back to do more shows and tell more great stories.
I had to listen to this twice today, it was that good. Tks Sammy
Day after day I listen to Sammy's stories and I just can't get my fill. Extremely
I love you, Sammy, you tell it like it is! You are so intelligent and are a great storyteller🥰
relax
You guys seriously have to change the sound level differences between his intro and outtro to the sound of the actual video!!!
on another note good to see you beat covid bro
Sammy right about the unions and car prices. He's a smart guy for picking up on this and the prices of cars.
“For the 51st time ever- Sammy tells his story”
Love you Sammy. ✊🏻 respect
But he said when he first started doing youtube that he wanted to save his stories for his podcast.. He told a light version of his stories..These are much more detailed
But it’s different every time 😂
I've been missing the video's quite abit ,I really enjoyed in the beginning when you might put 3 or 4 a week out.I know that was probably to much but got to tell you love the stories bro !
His memory is amazing. How does he remember all this stuff ? I guess the life was so intense it's hard to forget.
Its crazy to hear mafia history or at least a perspective of it from one of the key figures. This is a privilege right here 👏 thank you Sammy and team
His original crew, Styme, Peruta, Nicky, are all gone though. Mamalooks theses days can't even rob an icecream parlor without being caught.
At first I didn’t like how you talked. U seemed like a bully to me. had only heard Franzese talk. But the more I listen the more I respect you. You are as real as it gets and I’m now convinced you have a good solid heart. May God Bless You and keep you safe.
You sir, are the best story teller on RUclips. Thank you
I think Jimmy Calandra tells a much better more honest story hands down
Sammy you always amaze me. Your content and the way you tell a story is amazing. We all have made mistakes in life, but, your perspective and wisdom on things are stellar. Keep up the great work and I look forward to a movie one day made on you. Would be one for the ages
Hey Sammy!! Thank you for reliving the good times and the bad times by telling us these stories. I could sense some hurt and painful times when talking about John. It is too bad that Frankie got whacked 4 months after Castellano. I wonder if he could have corralled John and made a difference. I guess we will never know. Thanks again for the stories. Stay safe!.
In my opinion, if it was my choice I would've killed John and Angelo ruggerio right after Paul and Tommy bilotti. I would've told the commission and the family that John and Angelo were bragging about being the masterminds behind it and we killed them for it. Then would've made Frankie boss and sammy underboss. Sammy would've never went to prison because John wouldn't have had the chance to get caught on tape
Shut up.
@@mikeywhispers1588 FYI Sammy was also caught on tape lmao it’s pretty well known to people who pay attention
@@mikeywhispers1588 News flash...Sammy was also caught on wire taps...maybe they should've had you run the Mafia you seem to really know what your talking about lol
@@nickydisco8470 He was caught on wiretaps but thousands of hours and they had nothing. This is widely known bro.
I love these episodes, but I wish the episodes were longer. Could listen to Sammy’s stories for hours.
Tell us a more detailed history of Franky D. Unsung mafioso. He would have ran it way better than John, hands down.
Anybody woulda ran it better than John -- HANDS DOWN
His Achilles heel was his ego. Power corrupts a normal person. If your an ego maniac and a sociopath its 100 fold.
How tf would you know?
John Gotti wasn’t a pimple on Sammy’s a$$’ if Sammy and Franky would of had the reigns we all would be watching shark tank or jeopardy right now’ John was not cosa nostra hands down’ his mouth was like an artillery piece and every time he opened it or posed for a camera it was another casualty until all where indicted.
Yep, Frankie was a man's man. But he didn't want the crown, he was too smart for that. But even Chin knew who the real threat was, that's why he blew him up.
Can you please turn up the volume a 100% at the beginning and end when he says this is sammy the bull for the first time? I dont think its hard enough my ears are still working
Nobody can compare to Sammy's stories
Telling same story ten times?
@@picipolo988 why you here then???
Many of which are BULLshit
@@BostonsF1nest exactly
The biggest sign of the change of the times is how many ppl are on this RATS nuts! He put over 50 ppl in prison with his testimony. If what he says about just wanting to get back at John we’re true, he woulda only RATTED on JOHN!
The music for these stories are so gripping. Great story again Sammy. I can’t get enough of these stories. 👍
1st yey rocking with the bull thanks Mr.Gravano just made my day glad you are continuing to heal nobody does it like Sammy the bull Gravano
Enjoy your channel Sammy....You're perspective widens my view of the world.
I love Friday afternoons when Sammy drops a video. I stop what I'm doing and immediately watch the new episode. Sammy keep em coming cause we all love the videos. You know what's messed up. They made the old lady leave her own apartment so Gotti could have his meeting's. I hope they left her a decent amount of money each time she had to leave.
I love Friday evening listening tucked up Cosy in bed 🇬🇧 😎
They took care of Mary very well.
👍
@@fish9905 why you here bro?
@@fish9905 you mean, a soldier?
Based on my very secondhand knowledge of the NYC mafia, the woman would have been prized.
My very first car in 1993 was a 1963 Chevy impala also. I loved that car. It had 72k original miles and still had the plastic on the seats from the factory.
The people behind the camera and Sammy’s family listen and look at him everyday and think…. Man I hope this guy lives forever.. I could listen to him talk for hours and hours.. I could only imagine hanging out with Sammy in real life… 💎💯
I can't stop watching this shit!! Sammy is definitely a great storyteller 💯
Love how u tell ur stories bro!… keep up the great work.
This channel is great. It’s even better when you watch it on 2x speed.
He is unintentionally funny, love these stories.
Sammy is great at painting the picture. Better than any movie. Its worth a few vpn commercials
You're on a roll Sammy. I can see you in Hollywood in the near future. Best of luck to you.
We are so blessed. authentic stories from one of the legendary gangster. Original stories told with a true New York accent. For me it's better than any mafia movie I've ever seen
@Hidden Aspects la kosher nostra
Sammy, this has to be the BEST CHANNEL ON RUclips.. HANDS DOWN! the stuff I learn here I wouldn't learn in college or anywhere. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL 👍👍👍👍👍 💪
Possibly the best most riveting storytelling I’ve ever heard in my 49 years,not just this one Sammy,all of them. Love to hear about Richard Kuklinski. Regards
Love this insight on the higher level of the street life many were born into. I along with many others involved with doing things to support a family can understand where you come from when telling your stories bro. When you live by a code it's everything and in everything. I don't know you never met you but your so many of my brothers. Keep doing what your doing bro much respect.
The mafia lives by its ethical code much more than most, including religious leaders and even charities.
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 In Italy Mafia organisations are also involved with Freemasons.
Gravano lived by a code when it was convenient for him. When honoring the code involved living and dying in prison, all of the sudden the codes bullshit. ??? That doesn’t take away from how dangerous he was/ is or ruthless, cunning ect. It just means that he only followed a “ code” or kept his oath when it was easy to do so.
As soon as living by the code meant prison , Gravano had enough. It’s easy to follow a code when times are good. It’s when shit hits the fan that you find out if you were meant for that life.
I don't understand why people hold gangsters to higher standards than politicians, cops, military personnel, or those fucks who let people storm the white house. When in Iraq my Lt talked real tough and when shit hit the fan he ordered me to keep driving and leave everyone in the kill zone, on a convoy. I couldn't do that. Now Sammy heard John Gotti on tape talking about taking him out. No one knows what they would do till their in that situation. Anyone successful in illegal activity is working with the police, and politicians that's a fact. Yet there not rats but have their rivals in the same drug game arrested? If you don't know that's what comes with paying off police.
The Bull strikes again. Thank you sir. May you & the family be safe in these wierd ass times bro.
I’ve always been curious how the feds could be slick enough to bug while most of the time someone was at the spot. Appreciate it once again Sammy. You are a legend 🤙🏻
It seemed like there was times, extremely early in the morning, that the lounge was empty.
I would have had a security detail
I think the feds who pose as the cable guy or some other technical support engineer
@@nicolegillespie4704 what tech you think they had in there?
@@paceventura man, some sneaky shit right there.
@@gabagool_fool4933 possibly an organization like Public Service Electric and Gas etc. they’re always around redoing pipes and have to come inside, just one example.
Sammy , I listen to you all day at work … enjoying your stories and hearing about the Life … good times and bad … keep them coming ..
I like "Sammy Quickfingers." Mafia guys all seem to have the gift of coming up with great nicknames.
Gaspipe is up there among my personal favorites.
And "Benny Eggs".😂
Funny how it would cross over to main st...my uncle would call my aunt, Rosie "box a donuts" , he said if she was in the mob it definitely woulda been her nickname ...she could slam down a whole box of Hostess donuts! 😂
The very best of health to you Mr.G. and family and friends. Thank you for helping pass some time.
Great taste in cars sammy my dad had a 63 impala super sport hardtop and now I have a 63 impala hardtop in my opinion best car ever built I love that car, it'll be my son's when he's old enough to drive.
327ci version or 350ci love my Chevy.
All 63 chevys only had a 327..350 did come out till a few years later..and my 1st car was a 62 Belair...
@@msmittykyles5243 there's a lot with 307ci as well with all that space up front big block or 400ci my fav. Is a must. When cars had steel bumper bars.
Glad your back @Salvatore Sammy! Please don’t get sick again and I hope you went and got yourself some good holistic vitamins!
You have no idea how many people want to see you do well!
Saw a 1963 Chevy Impala a few weeks ago alike yours and I said “hey thats like Sammy car!”.
Stay well-As always 🙏 ☝️
Sammy you look great, strong as a bull, always great content, love your videos. Love from Albuquerque NM
2 ads before it starts and then we have to listen to another ad from sammy? Wtf!?
Exactly. Sammy's new handlers deleted my comment saying the same thing about this video. Background music no less.
Sammy I really want to hear about the aftermath of the car bombing of Frankie. What was going on with the luchese and genovese vs you guys. I heard you touch on it. I'd like to know how the other families reacted if they were with you or backing them up. I always wondered how far this war went. Thanks for doing these.
Yeah, I wonder if it was really Chin Gigante who did it...
I want Sammy to live a 1000 years with all these stories!!!
Wow!!!! Best story teller ever !!!!!!
I have listened to every video you have made!! All I can say is you lived an amazing life!! That kids like me born in 1968 in Brooklyn used to fantasize about as kids. When I was young I wanted to be in the mafia...but knowing that I am only 3/4 Italian...It would never turn out well..... thank you for bringing all of us into the life!!.. Amazing
I really hate that I have to wait until next Friday to get more great stories from the Bull himself I love it too much and so much..One of the realest...
Sammy , I look forward to these episodes all the time. You're interesting and engaging , you could've been in the movies or on TV, honest. Please keep them coming 👍
You and your family plus your amazing team that makes this all possible are truly the absolute best I'm forever a huge fan so I wish you all well and much much love so take care and I'm sending you much love from Manhattan, Kansas :)
I drove through Paris, Texas recently. Bought some optical wipes at the Walmart there. And later on I passed through Miami, Oklahoma.
@BuddyHandsome maybe hes from Manhattan but now lives in Kansas 🙄
Thank you so much for supporting the content that my team and I put out!
Have been binge watching( hearing) your podcast.... and dayummm I am hooked!
Sammy loving these story's your a teacher of Cosa Nostra I could listen to you 4ever.🦌
A teacher of a Society should’ve never existed but he Ratted on
This show is possibly my favourite thing to watch on all of RUclips and i watch ALOT of youtube and theres alot of great stuff to watch on RUclips. Infact I rarely watch anything else.
Sammy Gravano, a true blue gangster who tells the most incredible stories I have ever heard.
Sammy, your ability to recall all of these details from a long time ago is really impressive. I appreciate the historical pieces you add, like describing the cell phones being so large back then.
Awesome !! Love your stories about the Reality of your life !!!
Ayyy sammy thanks for the great video on my birthday and the same day that i got off parole always great seeing your vids thanks again for all the great content
Would love to hear more stories about Frankie D and his father boozy.
The beautiful music works so well with this podcast. Amazing production value all-round.
I like the stories that Sammy tells that make him laugh.. You can see humility in him, even though your watching a killer.
I see a very smart man who was discarded by society and could have done great things had he been on a different career path. Also if the mob didn't run NYC in the 1980s, the alternatives were anarchy or terrorists. Mr. Gravano wasn't even close to the worst criminal in the city back then, nor was he much of a danger to the general public, people for whom he seems to respect, even envy.
I like when the background music kicks in, you know the story is getting deep.
That video of you yelling at Siri on IG had me in tears 🤣🤣🤣
I preferred when the videos were 4K without black bars, please bring it back
The title on this one should have been
"John Gotti destroyed the mafia" amazing stuff as always bro much love
rats like Sammy did
John Gotti and Angelo "Quack Quack" Ruggiero Sr.
Anthony Mirra let Donnie Brasco in which did a lot, plus Carmine Galante giving way to Castellano set all of this up, as it was "Big Paul" who loaded up his crew with Gotti.
@@johnnytruelove4558 exactly
Anyone else getting a notification and then the video isn’t there and then get the true notification about an hour later?
Yes
There was a slight mixup with the editing of the video which is probably why you didn't see it up when you got the notification, sorry and thank you for the patience and understanding
Sometimes I hear you talk and I think how things would have been different if we’d never get these stories.
What dya mean? Like if he was boss?
Like I always say I'm not a wise guy by any means ,but these are exactly what you said Stories.
GOOD STORIES BUT STORIES you must take them with a grain of salt..He is good at tooting his own horn
@@vincentscibana856 I lived through the 1980s in NYC, my mother's ex-boyfriend was Anthony Mirra (the guy who let Donnie Brasco into the mob), and knew of many of the principals and the events through people I knew. I know some of the stories are accurate, most are mostly accurate, and sometimes details are left out or changed if there's anything sensitive that is still going on. From what I can see, Mr. Gravano is as honest as he has to or needs to be. The substance of his stories is at least 95 percent accurate.
@@vincentscibana856 Tell that to all the guys he murdered.
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 I also lived in NYC in the 80s...actually the same neighborhood as Sammy and I had relatives in that life...I find he contradicts himself constantly...he bases his stories on facts and adjusts it to support his ego...ever notice that he is always great and awesome in his stories and everyone else is a scumbag looser
Love your stories Sammy I stayed glued to the screen..
It's incredible how much damage 1 person cost so many people. I bet that was one of your biggest regrets that you didn't kill him. You were to loyal. this story you could really feel
and was my favorite of all of them. Stay healthy so we can here them for a long time
The one man who cost everything was Anthony Mirra, my mother's ex-boyfriend. He let Donnie Brasco into the mob. Gotti had to deal with the press in his face, and that was because yuppies and Wall Street types had invaded the city and didn't suffer crime the way 1970s NYC did. Computers and the early internet then kicked in plus the organization got so big they let in other rats and were generally understaffed. Kind of similar to many businesses that get too big.
Some people put themselves too far out on a limb.
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 Do you think RICO was also a big reason why? It helped take out a lot of mobsters just by association alone. They always had problems with informants but RICO expanded the ability of the authorities to arrest more people.
@@damienholland8103 100% on the money. It wasnt one man. Once RICO started being applied the way it was meant to be, it was a wrap for LCN. The Commission case, The bosses in Boston, Philly, Chicago , every major city were being prosecuted under RICO abs going off to die in prison. This was happening before Gotti became boss and during his time as boss. If Carlo Gambino was boss in 1985 , he would’ve ended up in the same place as all the other bosses. Prison
@@damienholland8103 so RICO and of course informants and cooperators took down LCN. To blame one man???? That shows a complete lack of knowledge about LCN or organized crime in the US.
Absolutely brilliantly told as usual...everything perfect apart from the ice cream van in the background... please don't start to try and mend things that are not broken
just his voice is Perfection
I remember going in with flip phones and coming out with a Damn portable tv/computer phone lol
@@RigHandLife I remember going in and Twitter was really a thing or didn't exist, and everyone was calling the pound sign, hashtag. I kept asking why everything was pound this, pound that. Jeez imagine if I got out during the me too bs. Pound me too.
We should send Sammy after Putin
well said bro Sammy will sort him out
wow that was a good one and the thing is he probly could take Putin down..
😀
You mean that Obama-SloJo Nazi Puppet Zelensky. Wake up to what’s Really going on.
Haha good one
Yes. And BTW… peanut used to posted the video before we got off work on Friday’s. This is my favorite podcast ever. I’m 45 and grew up in Long Island with parents from Bensonhurst.
I'll tell you what.... even if I honestly believed Sammy was fabricating these old stories (which I don't), I'd still be a fan and view this Podcast while being very entertained by his completely engrossing storytelling talents. His demeaner, mannerisms, pauses and intensity are Pure Mastery.
Are there stories you could share about "The Crowned Prince of the Philadelphia Mob" Salvatore "Salvie" Testa?
Man I hope Sammy lives forever!
Boom notification sammy has a new one dropin.....I waste no time getting to it .....sammy great content I dont move while I watch....your smashing it bro....👊💪💪
Glad you enjoyed the videos, thank you so much for the support on the content!
Sammy!!
Thank God you beat that Covid shit!!! Grateful to see you back!!! Keep em' coming and stay safe and healthy paisan!!!
Totally addicted to Sammys stories!
Nineteen people didn’t live to collect a pension because of you Sammy!
Fuck em
I love the channel Sammy but the ones who've been following your channel such as myself have heard a majority of these stories before on prior videos... still a loyal subscriber God bless
"I'm Sammy quick fingers" that's the best! 😂
That makes sense, Sammy.
Now, the auto makers have a "Tiered" system. The legacy pensioners are dying off and the newer workers don't get the same life-long benefits.
So, the "spread" on the price of the cars today is more on the profit side.
Sammy isn't running this ..he don't respond to comments..wish he would....his detailed thinking and tactics..are how I molded my mind..I know he studied 48 laws..so did I..Salute
Yes, he responds sometimes or he will advise an assistant how to respond. He definitely reads the comments when he has free time 😀
He's still incapacitated by Covid and his handlers are fluffing with bogus comments.
@@pauldearhouse8309 dam..yea I know the comments are not legit
@@pauldearhouse8309 I assure you he is not. 1. Check his Instagram latest post. 2. First hand knowledge. 3. The comments are legit. But believe what you want.
I just got finished watching this episode! What did he say that they had to take out?
That's what I'm wondering too! Episode 3 was also posted and deleted and then re-posted again some time ago..
The original video started with Sammy mid sentence doing an ad for a sponsor. So they just cut that part out and reupload.
@@Guillermo_Carratero me too he said a few things that were kinda cutting it close with letting information out but nothing crazy so I was like wtf
@@djcastano1180 ooo that makes sense I always fast forward through all that so I didn’t catch that
There was a slight mixup with the editing of the video which is probably why you didn't see it up when you got the notification, sorry and thank you for the patience and understanding
Really enjoyed this one, Sammy.
Love Sammy! Genuine historical living legend.
Ah! Here we go. Saturday, with a beer. A new Sammy video. I'm in!
That pisses me off about the cars.....I'm paying way too fucking much each month for a gawddamn car. It makes me very angry.
Cars got expemsive because of safety stuff, environmental stuff, fuel efficiency, extra features to compete in more competitive markets etc etc.
Yeah there is and was corruption - and that is because guys like Sammy shaking unions and businesses down. Everything would be better if every one was honest. But the issue with unions isn't that they are a bad idea - the issue is people get away with maniupulating them - usually criminally.
It's funny he's but hurt about people getting pension's! Which the auto industry stopped providing a decade ago. Smh
@@only5186 pensions are a good thing. Sammy was unfortunately dead wrong on his opinion on this issue. The true corruption is the greedy Auto Executives perpetually moving operations to third world countries in search of lax labor laws and a cheap desperate work force.
Sammy talkin about alexa is gold
1st view. You rock Sammy. I always knew you were a real one and John was a turkey ;)
😂😂😂
Love Sammy but I’m sure it ain’t thanksgiving bro.

For the first time ever? WTF bro?
Sammy been tellin his story since 1990.
