@Michael Whang 😂 I hear you brother. No she didn’t die. He was just explaining how he WOULD HAVE handled it if HE was the boss at the time. Peace and blessings to you sir. 🙏🏽
It was actually Sam Giancana that said that. He was heard on an FBI recording saying to an associate (while he pointed to a fish that was mounted on the wall with it's mouth open) "You know how that f---ing fish got caught?! It opened it's damn mouth!!" A vivid metaphor for not ratting. Pretty sure the associate got the message.
He was underboss. Meaning secret Boss Jhon is the Figurehead Replaceble but respectful and absolute In NYC The Man in the Front is Boss Feared and Respected .In CHI The Man in the Front is Public or $treet Boss or Regional Management For the Area The True bosses is in the Background mostly 2 or 3 or 4 at one time with no one on the ground floor ever getting wise beyond their payoff
Yeah TBH i had The Bull clocked all wrong... Colombo Clan should have kept and made him... RiCO fkd alot of their things but The Bull was smarter but there you go Gotti loved the lime light... ego with less loyalty.
Yea he should probably quit mentioning the honor and loyalty part of the life so much. He did 5 yrs for all them murders that was the only reason for him cooperating with feds! His stories are better than franzese because he already told everything on the stand Mike didn't and still lives by omerta. If Sammy had it to do over he would have took his life sentence on the yard over the many years of solitary confinement he suffered due to his choice to cooperate. That was a far worse punishment than any wiseguy could inflict. Now he's probably making more 💰 telling about the life than he did actually living it. My opinion technology finally passed the ability of the mafia to keep their way of life up.
Tony wore shorts to a cookout in the first season of the Sopranos. A real mobster praised the show to actor James Gandolfini, but told him "a don doesn't wear shorts." The line eventually made its way into the script, when Carmine Sr repeats it to Tony after hearing about Tony's grilling attire from Johnny Sack.
bro Sammy is a tough fuck, i agree. but of course hes not gonna tell all the times he suffered or took some L's.. Like a gambling addict, u only hear them when they win, not all the times they lose.
He is the most high ranking mobster (who wad a real legit gangster) doing this stuff. Not to knock Franzese because he was definitely a high ranking member. But he clearly wasn't a street guy. More like a corrupt businessman.
Thing is she was just dating the dude and seems pretty evident there wasn’t strong feelings between each other as they were both at a swingers club, her running her mouth got him killed.
Maybe it was a bluff killing that girl; but either way, that girl knew these people and had to know that if she went around saying a mob guy was sucking cock, there could be consequences
I just found this channel earlier today and have been binge watching ever since. He should make a movie, it's been a long time since I found a channel I could binge watch. You can sit back close your eyes and almost see what went down. One of the biggest things I've come to realize and this video clinched it for me in my eyes you are a very honorable man. I'll share your channel with my friends and I'm sure they'll feel the same! Have a good night everyone I'm going back to listening!
"A real honorable man."? LMAO!! He made a career of lying, stealing, killing, back stabbing and betraying people. Including people he supposedly "loved".
When Sammy Gravano speaks he has a look of razor sharp focus. I like that he explains Cosa Nostra and shows that even though as mobsters they were involved in criminal activity they weren't running around behaving like serial killers and animals. There was a structure and rules. Listening to Sammy Gravano is an education
@@darthkek1953 Yes the mafia just like the state and megacorporations sometimes used their power to do whatever the hell they wanted including killing innocent people for having the wrong sexual orientation, wrong think and so on. Yet even with all that baggage they are better than banksters and most politicians. The world will never be an utopia but a world run by the world's organized crime as in the John Wick movies seems in many ways better than the war and pestilence ridden world we currently inhabit just so the Banksters, big Pharma can get richer.

Sammy has a lot of insight into people and great judgement and problem solving skills that are revealed in these podcasts. Also much more restraint than I would have ever expected.
Mr Gravano. I like to hear all of your stories but the ones that hit home the most are your pre mafia stories. They remind me of myself and the guys in my neighborhood. We were street kids in Southwest Detroit. We were involved in lots of craziness in the 90s. I’m a family man now. Made it out of Detroit. Thanks for your stories and taking me back to my time. Lots of the stories I had forgotten about and you reminded me. Thank you ! God Bless you and your endeavors.
I’ve never been so sucked into a podcast or videos like this. I can picture these stories in my head with such vividness. Not that I was there but ya know what I mean. Sammy’s a great story teller!
The fact that he’s out after all that has been done and so candid about what has been in the dark is influencing my worldview, especially about people, the US government and organizations. There is a lot to process

@@faisalkamal4319 Did his time? He did five years for confessing to nineteen murders (probably more) and couldn't possibly ever serve enough time. Stop making excuses for a murdering scum bag, it doesn't say much about your character.
Coming from Chicago family and living in cook county I have heard a lot of stories growing up but I like listening to how you tell your stories keep it up Bull!
@@tatefairchild8290 wow that's amazing the way sammy tells it seems alot like how tony contemplated giving vito a pass and letting him run hookers in Atlantic city
Sammy....im from long Island NY,and I grew up on your stories,plus my family and mom "knew" a few guys growing up in the neighborhood and worked at the Belmont race track also (good times she said and great money!!!) Anyway I have been waiting for you to get out and be able to finally live like a normal free man and have his family (which I know is everything to you!) I'm so incredibly glad your story had a good ending,I'm glad your free,and I LOVE listening to your stories....just amazing! The next few generations aren't going to even understand how amazing and lucky to have these stories to hear! So glad your doing well and you look AMAZING sir!! Your just one bad ass dude,and I have the most respect! God bless! Prayers to you and your family this new year of 2021! I hope it's a better one than 2020!!! 🐂
I think I've learned two things from this story. As an outsider, she had no business creating this situation and would not have done so had she simply shut up. I also think a lot of your members, associates, etc. failed to follow the example you set of going home to your family most nights instead of getting caught up in having to go out partying way too many nights. I've always felt the family would have been far more successful if you would have been able to become boss of the family. I can only imagine what an empire it would have been now in 2021.
The point about a non member making accusations against a made member was well put. Why would you take the word of a non member over a made man? Sammy's version of how it should have been handled was correct. There could have been past incidents that were swept under the rug or political posturing by ambitious members (most likely).
I legit get hyped when he drops something.. this is the new TV people.. Sammy keep then coming please I got a mess on tv these stories takes me to a place ... thanks
Michael Franzese talks bad about Sammy in every video almost. I used to watch his videos but he started sounding phony to me, some stuff didn't make sense. I think he's mostly an opportunistic fraud, he makes up half the stuff he says and takes advantage of being a son of a legend Mobster (who he helped put away and is always so eager to tell was a serial killer, doing him an ill favor while he was alive and trying to get out of jail).
I could listen to Sammy speak all day. They should put him in a movie, sit him on a chair and let him give orders to his crew all day. I love this guy!,!
You got the story a bit mixed up. It was the girlfriend of John Amato who said about Amato and gotten him whacked. JB was re-telling this Amato story to a guy from Chicago and Sammy was listening in on it too. Sammy then tell JB his own Cosa Nostra rule and feeling of how he would have dealt with the Amato situation. There's no JB's wife crapping out horse shit to ge JB rubbed out.
I really enjoy listening to Ur stories Sammy. I can literally just sit and listen to them all day. Just want to say thank U for being U and giving us great content my friend... with love and respect from Texas....
I listen to these stories and I'm not really surprised that Sammy held the principles of "Our Thing" the way he did. He was a real man who not only knew the rules, he understood the rules very intricately.
Can you possibly upload 2 times on the days you upload your videos? They’re really entertaining! & interesting I literally sit & listen or drive & listen it starts to paint a picture in your head every story!
This is the *only* channel I’m cautious about commenting on. My pops worked construction and his business partner was in trucking in Gerritsen Beach. I was raised In Sheepshead Bay. At our dinner table I remember my pops spoke of “a commission” in Brooklyn. My take away is: commission was fair and helped get things done faster than the government could on cargo coming in to NYC.
Thank You Mr. Gravano. That story was filled with LIFE wisdom! From so many angles there is Wisdom there. I don't see any cruelty in your process of reason. Thank you for that!! God Bless you, family and crew!
So, just out curiosity if that situation really happened with that mob guy where he was on his knees pleasuring another guy, you dont think he should have been taken out ? If that leaked out as a boss you didn't handle the situation then how do you think it would look to organizations like the Russians, Colombians, Albanians or the chinese ? Do you really believe youd be respected ? Do you think theyd be doing business with you ? Remember all those organizations do business with each other
Rapnoremi u realize that Sammy ratted on gotti and 35 others right so when he talking about rules and honour it’s all bullshit he just trying make money from his story’s now
@@perky5397 He specifically cooperated with the feds after Gotti stabbed him in the back and he realised that Cosa Nostra doesn't have the honour that it says and pretends it does. It'd turned really volatile and everyone seemed to be out for themselves by that point.
@John Martinez Sammys version has been backed by Frankie Loc (who Gotti tried to kill in jail), lawyers, jail recordings etc. Gotti was loyal to himself only, kinda like we are finally confirming about another poser selfish narcissistic jerkoff in the news as we speak...
@John Martinez you said you can’t buy these stories about John wanting Sammy to take the fall....That’s what happened, that is the truth...That was a large part of Gottis defense even after Sammy flipped....READ THE TESTIMONY OF THE TRIAL...why are you telling me to get outta here?? You don’t know what you’re talking about...I am not a Sammy loyalist, I called as I see it (in the testimony transcripts)...in fact, I think Sammy is full of shit on this story...He’s trying to sound PC to gain subs...
The way Sammy says he would have handled that situation is pure genius. He gets the guy in a basement of a house, so if he gets killed, is in the right place. He puts him in a tough decision to tell the truth by the promise of not geting hurt, and in an imposible position to lie, by geting that woman to confront him. He knows at this time that this is a high stake game, like the lotery: if he confronts her and he is not belived, he dies. Than she dies (because she is a witness) - this being an obvios thing for her also, when she sees that she is in a basement with the mafia and the gun is on the table, witch will make her to swear she telling the truth, even if is all a lie, her life depends on it. Thats why he would lean to the decision of reconizing hes gay. More likely he would say hes gay even if he is not, because thats the best chance (and maybe the only one) the get out of the basement alive. And even if he takes the dangeruos act of confronting her and wining, he could be killed later at anytime. This way the woman who started the rumors is killed , removes the gay dude from his position without geting him clipped. Sammy would create a tensioned win-win situation. You have to put this into a TV series. It would be The Sopranos 2.0
Sammy is one hell of a guy been through alot of shit love his stories could lisen to him talk all day my favorite was the Puerto rico trip frickin hilarious
He's telling the story the way he wants it told with embellishments as usual. He's not the bad guy in any story even though he's a monstrous human being. Only suckers gets fooled by charisma of liars and thieves.

Sammy is true cosa Nostra, I wish things would have went the other way and he took the reigns after big Paul. You can see how he really goes back to the time when these stories take place and the emotions that come back. He didn’t lie when he said it takes him back into it.
I love how he starts the videos, everyone should just start their videos with hey, and that’s it, get right to it.

Maybe today but not 30 years ago. If there are 500 made guys out there you can bet a couple have had a prick in their mouths and liked it.
@@Scuba_Bro interesting insight.
Sammy is the only person on earth who can say liberry instead of library and it’s acceptable.
I bet you put boss as your name cause you been watching this
Thank you sir for making this channel and sharing these stories.
I look forward to them everyday!
I’m amazed at how well he can tell a story. It’s a real gift.
His gift was killing.
“ Put some shade on it “
@Scott Tillman 😂😂😂😂😂
It's why they call it being on the down low.
The bosses that decided to kill him probably wanted him dead too for whatever reason and they used that as an excuse just as well.
I know the story well, and that’s exactly what happened..
Nah, once it was known that they knew they felt they had to act in that way to show everyone they dealt with. They didn't have the guile Sammy did
Aids ?
@@giuseppeangelo9988 Agree. They felt they had to clip him because they worried how they would look to all the other guys from the street. He was an example. If there are 500 made guys out there you can bet a couple have had a prick in their mouths and liked it.
@@jack604 nobody has aids!
Sammy is as real as it gets-
A real murderer.
@@Sirharryflash82 and did his time for that
@@faisalkamal4319 Did his time? He did five years for confessing to nineteen murders (probably more) and couldn't possibly ever serve enough time.
Stop making excuses for a murdering scum bag, it doesn't say much about your character.
@@Sirharryflash82 not making excuses just contextualizing
@@faisalkamal4319 Five years for nineteen murders is all the context needed.
Coming from Chicago family and living in cook county I have heard a lot of stories growing up but I like listening to how you tell your stories keep it up Bull!
Wow, I read about this story, I never thought about in the way you told it Sammy. Good stuff. 😎👍
Who hits like just as Sammy starts. I do and we're called legends.
In dutch ovening ya sista. Maybe a awkard finga bang. But yeah, u aint jack s.
Just you
I feel this is the root story of the vito saga from the sopranos. Except he was outed by associates who find him fanooking around in a gay bar.
It is. The actor who played Vito brought this exact story to David Chase after reading the book about it.
@@tatefairchild8290 wow that's amazing the way sammy tells it seems alot like how tony contemplated giving vito a pass and letting him run hookers in Atlantic city
I absolutely LOVE these stories Sammy! Thank you so much!
Hey , why do you love it?
Sammy....im from long Island NY,and I grew up on your stories,plus my family and mom "knew" a few guys growing up in the neighborhood and worked at the Belmont race track also (good times she said and great money!!!) Anyway I have been waiting for you to get out and be able to finally live like a normal free man and have his family (which I know is everything to you!) I'm so incredibly glad your story had a good ending,I'm glad your free,and I LOVE listening to your stories....just amazing! The next few generations aren't going to even understand how amazing and lucky to have these stories to hear! So glad your doing well and you look AMAZING sir!! Your just one bad ass dude,and I have the most respect! God bless! Prayers to you and your family this new year of 2021! I hope it's a better one than 2020!!! 🐂
I think I've learned two things from this story. As an outsider, she had no business creating this situation and would not have done so had she simply shut up. I also think a lot of your members, associates, etc. failed to follow the example you set of going home to your family most nights instead of getting caught up in having to go out partying way too many nights. I've always felt the family would have been far more successful if you would have been able to become boss of the family. I can only imagine what an empire it would have been now in 2021.
The point about a non member making accusations against a made member was well put. Why would you take the word of a non member over a made man? Sammy's version of how it should have been handled was correct. There could have been past incidents that were swept under the rug or political posturing by ambitious members (most likely).
Wow sleazeballs and scumbags.
I legit get hyped when he drops something.. this is the new TV people.. Sammy keep then coming please I got a mess on tv these stories takes me to a place ... thanks
Mr. Gravano thank you for sharing your life experiences with us.
He is doing it for money
@@petergianakopoulos4926 No shit...
Do a Video with Michael Franzese please :)
@Jennifer Myers lucky never had kids bro
Michael Franzese talks bad about Sammy in every video almost. I used to watch his videos but he started sounding phony to me, some stuff didn't make sense. I think he's mostly an opportunistic fraud, he makes up half the stuff he says and takes advantage of being a son of a legend Mobster (who he helped put away and is always so eager to tell was a serial killer, doing him an ill favor while he was alive and trying to get out of jail).
@Jennifer Myers what
@Jennifer Myers wouldn’t that make you in your 60 or 70s then
@Jennifer Myers ok then, good luck Jennifer Luciano
I could listen to Sammy speak all day. They should put him in a movie, sit him on a chair and let him give orders to his crew all day. I love this guy!,!
Great idea!
I’d love to see Sammy play the boss in a movie!
I agree with Sammy that the wife's story was probably horse crap and she was trying to ruin J.B. and get him rubbed out.
You got the story a bit mixed up. It was the girlfriend of John Amato who said about Amato and gotten him whacked. JB was re-telling this Amato story to a guy from Chicago and Sammy was listening in on it too. Sammy then tell JB his own Cosa Nostra rule and feeling of how he would have dealt with the Amato situation. There's no JB's wife crapping out horse shit to ge JB rubbed out.
@@viciousvendetta5706 you believe that amato was on his knee pleasuring a guy ?
"We’ll catch you on the other side." - Stay safe my friend.
I know this much... We can't have him around our social club no more
* Eyes wide* Social club?? He’s gotta GO!!
I really enjoy listening to Ur stories Sammy. I can literally just sit and listen to them all day. Just want to say thank U for being U and giving us great content my friend... with love and respect from Texas....
UNCLE SAMMY is at it again!! The best insight of the la costa Nostra. Thanks for a great story
I listen to these stories and I'm not really surprised that Sammy held the principles of "Our Thing" the way he did. He was a real man who not only knew the rules, he understood the rules very intricately.
Can you possibly upload 2 times on the days you upload your videos? They’re really entertaining! & interesting I literally sit & listen or drive & listen it starts to paint a picture in your head every story!
When you know Sammy’s gonna pronounce “library” as “lie-berry” before he even says it. Lol. Love the stories!
So far so excellent. Thank you Sammy for all these great story's
I press LIKE before I even hear the stories. MUCH RESPECT TO MR. GRAVANO
This is the *only* channel I’m cautious about commenting on. My pops worked construction and his business partner was in trucking in Gerritsen Beach. I was raised In Sheepshead Bay. At our dinner table I remember my pops spoke of “a commission” in Brooklyn. My take away is: commission was fair and helped get things done faster than the government could on cargo coming in to NYC.
@Gray
and yet u left info. about ur family in these comments. cautiously I hope.
@@lattilatti6441 I just now changed it around a bit
By strong arming, sabotaging, and inflating of course. They were another cog in wheel. Remember to always see things from many angles.
I always wondered if she made up that rumor out of vindictiveness for some other reason.
That's what I read on Wikipedia under John D'Amato Decalvacante Family.
Nah... they doubled checked before they just killed the guy lol... there’s a documentary about it
@@BostonsF1nest 😂😂😂 “double checked”? Forgive me for doubting the Mob’s version of Due Process.
Hi
@@taotaostrong the FBI had an undercover informant within the family at that time who was wearing a wire
"killing is a serious serious f.....g thing"
Sammy the bull.
Thank You Mr. Gravano. That story was filled with LIFE wisdom! From so many angles there is Wisdom there. I don't see any cruelty in your process of reason. Thank you for that!! God Bless you, family and crew!
So, just out curiosity if that situation really happened with that mob guy where he was on his knees pleasuring another guy, you dont think he should have been taken out ?
If that leaked out as a boss you didn't handle the situation then how do you think it would look to organizations like the Russians, Colombians, Albanians or the chinese ? Do you really believe youd be respected ? Do you think theyd be doing business with you ? Remember all those organizations do business with each other
Loving these!
You got any Genovese Family stories?? And some Anthony Gaspipe stories?? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
these are so well made, WE DONT DESERVE THIS
Really don't
I'm sure a few families said the same thing.
@@JesusIstheNameTakenInVain where theres a winner theres a loser
@@abstractlycalculated Hardly monopoly tho.
@@JesusIstheNameTakenInVain true true
I would have voted Sammy for boss, still now the most respectable man.
Rapnoremi u realize that Sammy ratted on gotti and 35 others right so when he talking about rules and honour it’s all bullshit he just trying make money from his story’s now
@@perky5397 He specifically cooperated with the feds after Gotti stabbed him in the back and he realised that Cosa Nostra doesn't have the honour that it says and pretends it does. It'd turned really volatile and everyone seemed to be out for themselves by that point.
@John Martinez smart guy 👍keep thinking for yourself
@John Martinez Sammys version has been backed by Frankie Loc (who Gotti tried to kill in jail), lawyers, jail recordings etc. Gotti was loyal to himself only, kinda like we are finally confirming about another poser selfish narcissistic jerkoff in the news as we speak...
@John Martinez you said you can’t buy these stories about John wanting Sammy to take the fall....That’s what happened, that is the truth...That was a large part of Gottis defense even after Sammy flipped....READ THE TESTIMONY OF THE TRIAL...why are you telling me to get outta here?? You don’t know what you’re talking about...I am not a Sammy loyalist, I called as I see it (in the testimony transcripts)...in fact, I think Sammy is full of shit on this story...He’s trying to sound PC to gain subs...
As always Great Content!!! Thank you for your stories.
thank you sammy for enlightening us about cosa nostra and for keeping it real. you're a true gentleman who calls it like it is, you're da best
I read your book 20 years ago, but hearing it from you is so much better. And your book was excellent.
I would love to know some details about that awesome cap you're wearing Mr Gravano. Keep the great content coming! Love the channel.
You wear it on your head what more is there to know about it
@@u.k.realone6778 umm what material, what brand, what haberdashery he uses. To people that appreciate good headwear, these things matter.
This is basically Vito from the Sopranos
The sopranos Gets a lot of their ideas from the Decavacante family. Notice they're also from Jersey
@@paulfleury1884 Yeah I notice that now. Even the old boss of the family kinda looks like James Gandolfini.
The way Sammy says he would have handled that situation is pure genius.
He gets the guy in a basement of a house, so if he gets killed, is in the right place.
He puts him in a tough decision to tell the truth by the promise of not geting hurt, and in an imposible position to lie, by geting that woman to confront him. He knows at this time that this is a high stake game, like the lotery: if he confronts her and he is not belived, he dies. Than she dies (because she is a witness) - this being an obvios thing for her also, when she sees that she is in a basement with the mafia and the gun is on the table, witch will make her to swear she telling the truth, even if is all a lie, her life depends on it.
Thats why he would lean to the decision of reconizing hes gay. More likely he would say hes gay even if he is not, because thats the best chance (and maybe the only one) the get out of the basement alive.
And even if he takes the dangeruos act of confronting her and wining, he could be killed later at anytime.
This way the woman who started the rumors is killed , removes the gay dude from his position without geting him clipped.
Sammy would create a tensioned win-win situation.
You have to put this into a TV series. It would be The Sopranos 2.0
Wow sleazeballs and scumbags with pride.
I would teach this as part of a game theory conflict resolution curriculum in graduate public policy courses and use this particular scenario 🤔
Mad respect to you sir thank you for sharing most people like myself have no clue what it's like to live a hardcore life like yours
Your voice is so comforting
The wisdom of Solomon,
Sammy 👌🏻
The way he said "...so I have no mercy on her, or sympathy, that she'll die" gave me chills
I love these lessons. Sammy is a genius, he out lived them all!
You consider these lessons? It's more like a tragic comedy. Sammy seems like a great tho.
Genius? A little exaggerated He is a street smart unscrupulous opportunist.
@@dontbememe7364 brilliance comes in a myriad of forms
@@oceanwaves83 Anything is brilliant to dimwits.
@@Yomi4D
Exactly!!
Sammy is one hell of a guy been through alot of shit love his stories could lisen to him talk all day my favorite was the Puerto rico trip frickin hilarious
Yo... Yo... I so underestimated this man. I've watch almost all of the videos and this OG blows my mind; such a cool man. God Bless Mr. Gravano.
Level headed mastermind!
That is where Vito from the Sopranos story line came from
I'm glad that he came out of prison alive and is able to set the record straight. Too many people like him let other people tell their story.
Powderpuff, that's so sad.
He's telling the story the way he wants it told with embellishments as usual. He's not the bad guy in any story even though he's a monstrous human being. Only suckers gets fooled by charisma of liars and thieves.
@@Yomi4D Suckers are bored losers who crave excitement and adventure, which criminal conmen and conwomen supply.
Love all your stories. Born and raised south brooklyn, shout out 20th ave. Love listening to your stories about the neighborhood. Please tell more about bensonhurst n gravesend back in the day
Thanks for SHARING, SUPER SAMMY ❤
Mr Gravano is literally a living legend
When Sammy goes that’s the end of an era.
Not as long as Micheal Franzese is still alive
Absolutely correct,
and he will become
if not the biggest,. then one
of the biggest American icons in
mob lore.
@@Jm-fj3mg Franzese? Fuck him!
Please tell me the story of when he made his bones, there's none, because he never did.
He wasn't a gangster,
he was just a goose that laid golden eggs.
@@Beto-pn6rl But he was a Capo…
@@liampowell5014 Capo Shmapo!
Franzese is not a real CN OG from the heart mafiosi, If you want to know of another OG mafiosi then go listen to "Mafia Prince" the
Philip Leonetti story
Mr. Gravano, talk a little about Billy Batts
He must’ve really pissed off the wrong guys....Jimmy Burke and Tommy DeShmurder....seriously nasty combo...
Agreed Mr Gravano!! You called that right. 100 percent!
Great story as always Sammy. Keep them coming. Adiós amigo.
This story was in sopranos when Vito got busted at a gay club
"Dont say nothing saaaaal"))))
Life imitating art.
Pauli’s “WHAT”!!!!! upon hearing that Vito was going down on the security guard was classic.
It was the blood pressure medication
@@inmyhouse11 aggghhhh hahaha yah that line about killed me
I'm pretty sure the Sopranos producers got the transcripts of a lot of FBI wire taps over the years.
"A'IGHT, LET'S TAKE THIS IN THE BACK!"
"WELL, THAT'S WHAT VITO DID..."
"YOU CAN LEAVE!!!"
@@RogueBoyScout you can go!
HAAAAHAHA CHRISSY DID THE WALK
That was the best line!! LMFAO
@@RogueBoyScout He's my sponser, But T, this guy can forge anything!
WHEN DOES EPISODE 2 OF “OUR THING” COME OUT?????
He said a couple vid's back it would be around the end of the month or maybe early feb.
Sammy's videos should be used as a study guide for up and coming mobsters.. so much knowledge and good decision making
Sammy is surprisingly open minded all things considered.
Sammy is a brilliant mastermind. I would put him up against any crime boss in history, and he would out think them by one step.
Yea accept Carlo
I enjoy the raw truth about the scumbaggery that exists on this earth.
This is so REAL that it's almost unbelievable. His solution was one of the most standup things I ever heard!!
Love the stories. And by the way sammy your voice is very calming I know it may sound cliche but when I listen to you. It relaxes me. Luv you and your beautiful family.
Sammy is true cosa Nostra, I wish things would have went the other way and he took the reigns after big Paul. You can see how he really goes back to the time when these stories take place and the emotions that come back. He didn’t lie when he said it takes him back into it.
Is this what tony soprano was talkin about when he said “you know he ain’t the first” (talking about vito)
Exactly what I thought of
Yup. And others were bi but kept it quiet
