Random guy:So much crazy shit goes on there....
Sammy: well sounds good to me
😂😂
Sammy tells a story like no one else. His recollection to the details are amazing. His slow suspenseful pauses are pure theatre. Stay healthy Sammy you are a walking history book that needs to pass down thses stories about this way of life.
@John Boy. Yes. Slow and suspenseful adds to the drama and the humor. Great stories.
Yaa he’s reliving the moments as he speaks its awesome to see . Just brings you in .
@@arthurstitch9041 A whole different story....
@@arthurstitch9041 Sorry, didn't realize I was replying to a 15yo. Cheers!
Don't worry about his health, these mafia guys who survive till their 50's have a weird history of going on to live to crazy late ages lol. Mostly in secure prison facilities lol
“Listen I’m not going to press charges.” Lol
"I don't even think it's good now." - Sammy does TripAdvisor on Mexico 😎
well, Tijuana is definitely less safe now than when he went 50 years ago
Ahh the partying on Revolution in Tijuana! Definitely a good time in what feels like an alternate universe. If you ever wondered what the wild west was really like, this is probably the closest modern example. Throw in drug cartel presence and remember where you are. Be a good tourist. There's definitely a vibe that this place could easily eat you up at any moment if you wanted to act up. It's so much fun haha
They hate us “gringos” over there as much as many here hate their illegals living here. No way I’d go to that hellhole.
@@tricky2055 not been my experience in Mexico and have traveled extensively throughout the country from Mexico city through Baja peninsula. Also many Americans don't realize how conservative most Mexicans lean. Deeply Catholic and not very liberal. Unfortunately you have a bad economy in much of the country. Big agricultural companies have pushed out the local farmers and you have corruption in government from the drug cartels. All of this drives many north. So in a way, you can personally thank the US war on drugs and big agriculture companies in the US for driving people out. Funny, isn't it? (Not laughing) 😐
Hahahahaha
I love when he throws in a “bro” here and there.
"here and there"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He got that from prison for sure. That's all that was said when I was in, bro.
@meese 60 Thats far out man 😎😎😎😎
Thought I was the only one! Love it! lol.
Every 3 seconds here and there...
As a guy who has been to TJ. I can believe this 100%. This is how they get you down there.
My Father was a hard working honest man and told me never to go into these coffee houses. Years later I understood He was right.
"I don't even think it's good now." 😂😂😂
he aint lying though, cartels run that shit
Old school Brooklyn. Built tough and with pride. That's a great way to describe Sammy.
Brilliant story, I could listen to Sammy’s stories all day
I prefer Micheal Franzese, as he encourages people to change, to realize that you can change your life. Sammy is great!! Don’t get me wrong, but people need hope, too.
@@thesleeperhasawakened4916: Salvation is between a person and the Creator, my friend.
Religion of one denomination or another is irrelevant. As to a person who has turned their life around and can give others hope? That’s amazing! I’m not condemning Sammy, I just said I prefer someone who can give people a bit of hope. Sammys stories are great! Nothing wrong with them. Here in America we used to be allowed to express our thoughts.... You expressed yours, I did the same.
Being tough on a computer is easy..... Doung what Sammy and Micheal have done? Survived?
Few have survived. You go on being tough. I’ll go on believing in HOPE.
I’ve escaped that life, so trust me, hope is the greatest thing there is. Godspeed in your journey, and I encourage you to let your anger go.
@@TERoss-jk9ny I watch this shit to be entertained, not to be lectured, and Sammy is way more entertaining than Micheal Franzese.
@@brainrot4919: Good for you all! I live in a country where we can express different opinions. I expressed mine without insulting any of you.
America is lost. That’s not a lecture, BTW.
I would never have subscribed to Sammy’s channel had I not found it entertaining. I guess in today’s world we cannot express an opinion.
I swore an oath to serve this country, many, MANY years ago. Freedom of speech is just ONE of those things I swore to, as well as FREEDOM OF RELIGION, Which can also read “Freedom’from’ religion”..... That used to be what made AMERICA great. Now? One disagreement and all hell breaks lose.
Wear your mask, and live your lives, friends.
Good luck in all your future endeavors.
@@TERoss-jk9ny spell his name right.. MICHAEL is a CON MAN
Every one of these stories is just interesting as hell. Glad he's here to tell them.
they're crazy & scary, but yeah; very well told.
Too bad his victims arent here.
"They feed me in there. Put a tray in. A lot of rice and beans and stuff that Mexican people eat. Not bad but...I ate that."
Sammy Gravano - Food Critic
LOL
I’ve heard that’s all they give you in Mexico jails and the paisas tax you. Unless you have family or friends to bring you food from home,etc for you if you don’t want rice and beans.
@@donkarin532 thats one of the many lies in this story. I had the misfortune of going to jail in Tijuana and no one fed me. The whole story is bs
@@ChristopherSmith-xn1wx bro this happened 50 fuckin years ago. things were much different than now.
@@ChristopherSmith-xn1wx He doesn't seem to be lying, must suck to be so jaded. I also don't think all of the guards/cops/jails in Tijuana are the same.. especially from 50 years ago.
Whenever he mentions the Rampers, get ready to hear sum wild shit!
EP
Totally. And he's so proud of them too. 🥰
What are the rampers?
@@kmolu The first gang he was in as a youth. This gang was very well known and did all things criminal.
Thank You for sharing stories from your life Mr.Gravano. I stay away from Mexico. I went there in the late 1990's and had a similar experience with a couple females were all over me and a 3rd female tried to pick my pocket. They thought my chain was connected to my wallet but it was just connected to my keys because I knew how bad the place is. A group of guys came up angry because the girls didn't get to rob and they were trying to intimidate me. Thankfully the friends I was meeting came from the back and ended that crap real quick because they were connected in that town through relation. I will still never go back. I will keep my ass in the Good Ole USA.
“I blast him a fkn good shot!” 😂
That reminds me when I did a week in PuertoRico. Way before the internet. I was in the streets thank God for my uncle Mike he probably saved my life.
Sammy tells the most addictive stories you end up watching a lot of them at once
I am starting to watch Sammy’s podcast twice there that good . Thank you Sammy for sharing these stories , you could make a movie on each one .
Funny to hear this story. I grew up on the border. Been going to Tijuana all my life and let me tell you. There is no place like Tijuana. You see it all
Love it in Tijuana,there almost every weekend,just don't take no recommendations from no taxi driver and be ok lol
Your story reminded me when I was in the Navy back in the early 90's, stationed in San Diego for "A" school. I went across the border many times, and stayed over night, even though we service people had to be out of Mexico at midnight. I slept in a shit hole motel, that didn't even have a lock on the door. But to make a long story short, one of my buddy's got robbed by the Mexican Police, and sent back to the border in handcuffs. The Police are so corrupt down there...ridiculous!
Lol! Me too. We used to party in TJ after boot camp.
The police are corrupt all over the world. The way policing is done needs to change.
@@anthonybranco TB is correct
@@paulbentley1705 TJ, yep you've been there.
@@anthonybranco Yeah, it really just needs to have MUCH BETTER training, and toned down to be less invasive for minor interactions. Technically, if you take the constitution at face value, they wouldn't be able to do hardly anything to you, unless you are harming someone, stealing in the open, or a few other extreme scenarios. All this "sir I'm gonna ask you to get out and spread 'em because you swerved" bullshit would be OVER.
Yea it’s crazy in Mexico. My wife is from El Paso Texas and when we visited her family we used to walk to Juarez where her family was. It was bad then but we don’t go now. That was years ago. I’m white and they used to yell “go back home gringo” lol. Also the women at the bars would swoon all over me and the men would mean mug in jealousy. Wasn’t a good feeling.
Serious question as I am a petite blue eyed white Australian girl, Mexico would be Dangerous for me to visit outside tourist areas?
@@plantgirlK88 There always risk just don't go anywhere alone make sure you go in groups
I find myself so damn excited to see this uploads. It must be hard for Sammy to dive deep into his past. Keep em coming Sammy!
Sammy you're a born storyteller. These are fascinating. I could listen to them all day.
My lord Sammy
You have to be one of the best storytellers that I’ve watched in years,
You really make the stories with such detail
What’s crazy is that he went through this all alone! What an OG!
Without a doubt!!!!
He's a stoolie
@@richardtroyjinn2247 lol you’re probably a teenager living in the suburbs too drinking big gulps that your mom bought you
Sammy -- you have the best stories, but even better is your talent as a storyteller. Keep them coming!
Pretty hilarious watching an iconic mobster telling a story about how he got setup in TJ, _on youtube_
I absolutely love these stories. Every one of them is fascinating. Sammy you are a gold mine! God bless you
Coming from videos where the intro is long and very happy... Sammy : "hey"
Yup it’s like wats up you know who the fuck I am now listen I gotta story lol
Start getting people in here sir already! We wanna see Franzese and Leonetti in here 🔥🔥
Sammys not really hiding. Leonetti is but lets be honest he doesnt need to. No ones doing anything to either of them. As far as M.F he has shared his fairly low opinion of sammy so i doubt thats gunna happen either unless there was enough money on the table
Does Leonetti have a channel?
Oh hell yes a sammy the bull crazy phil podcast would be amazing but it wont happen
@Kyrian Uwandu sammy is not hiding bro , wtf sis u listen?
@@dtaylor0491 lol @ Franzese judging Sammy. That's rich. 😂
These are priceless stories! Nobody these days would or could have stories like this, those days are over! What makes these stories so valuable and important to tell...
His life story needs to be told and recorded and preserved!
Beautiful story Sammy. I’m glad yous still with us. God Bless you.
Sammy's stories are awesome, I could listen to them all day 👍🙂🏴🏴
I love these stories Sammy
Brilliant story, I’ll have to binge on these tomorrow. Thanks Sammy
Love the storys Sammy and you tell them so well that it makes me feel like I'm there. Like you said, you don't just tell the stories. You relive them when you tell them, which puts the emotion in them. You have a great talent there mate. Thank you and Kind Regards ... John ...
"New-York looked completely different from Tijuana" LMAO... I would no recommend Tijuana for a white folk on his own to have fun in there ....I also have a similar story and I survived as well thanks for GOD !
@Judy Greer not really he had light brownish hair when he was younger he wouldnt really pass for Mexican
I'm from NYC living in San Diego and in Tijuana every weekend,no issue,may have been different back in his days,just don't be a wise guy, especially don't listen a taxi driver when he tells you a good bar😂
@@diegocastiglione1180 there’s mexicans with light hair, especially in the north
@@MC32595 yeah there is even some in the north and south canelo Alvarez as a example or Guillermo del toro it's just not as common
Hey, Sammy! I live in San Diego and have been to T.J. many times over the years. It is still very much a crazy third world city. In fact, (due to the drug cartel) it is one of the most dangerous places to be. I always am hypervigilant and watching my back when I am down there. Really, unless absolutely necessary, pass on dealing with it altogether if you can-
We love you Sammy keep them stories coming!
Do you even know the meaning of a “third world country”?
You love a murderer? lol
@@dumbeezy5480 Sensitive Millennial, lmfao.
@@gribbedt super sensitive
@@jorgecervantes3725
The original political term or the modern vernacular that’s synonymous with sh*thole?
Nobody cares about your finger wagging and we all know it means a horrible place.
I luv listening to this guy .I could sit here all day listening to Sammy never a dull moment with this guy .Luv ya sammy
You tell the story so damn good, that I'm sitting here watching the older you telling us this story MANY years later, knowing everything about you and your life....and I'm still on the edge of my seat wondering in the middle of your story...if you made it out ok!! LOL!!
Thank you for telling your life stories and not adding extra sauce like so many other people on these platforms, thinking its gonna make them appear tougher than they really were.
I can’t wait for the Podcast man I don’t want these videos to end 😂
Thanks a lot Sammy for your stories. You really know how to tell them. They sound real and one can really picture himself in them. Wish you well and waiting for your podcast.
I could hang out with Sammy every single day and listen to his stories and love every second of it!!
I love all the humor in these stories. Some serious shit, but it's so funny it's almost unbelievable.
Thanks for sharing these tales.
Any from your days in Scottsdale, AZ? I was a teenage in that area in those days.
Sammy I love these stories man. Keep them coming. Slan go foill (slawn go foal) Irish for bye for now. Huge respect to you.
Irish Gaelic is tough lol. Beautiful language though.
@@donniedonovan1168 thanks. I'm fluent in it. But grew up with it.
We need a Sammy channel. So We can binge watch all these great stories. I am Amazed! the detailed recollection of names, etc. I'm glued to the channel. When Sammy says click subscribe, I think if I click subscribe again,do I get more stories??👍❤ can't get enough!!
In kindergarten I was in Romper Shoppers! So fun. I can listen endlessly. His voice is so calming to me. You can tell he's always in control of himself. Good trait.
awesome brother been waiting for another sammy vid!!! much love and respect
I could literally watch these stories all day
Love your stories Mr. Gravano, what a life you've lived!! Please include some dates if you can, the time period helps put everything in a better perspective! Thanks bro, best of luck to you
This story is great, one of my favorites from him! He must have a ton of other great stories from his time with these guys!!
I wanna here a STORY on “NEIL DELLACROCE “ gambino underboss I here he was very FIRM but FAIR but a solid guy ( speak 🗣 on him SAMMY)
“Aniello “big neal” DELLACROCE”
Gotti would be the man to talk on how real this man was, simply because neil treated him like a son
@@almightydtr gotti ain’t here to talk about him so Sammy is the last man standing and I’m sure he had dealings with him ...SAMMY has the platform to do it
Neil was under Albert Anastasia The Lord High Executioner . So you know what Neil was about .
Facts Neil was a true gangsta wit every letter of G.A.N.G.S.T.A. He was solid to the core
Great story Sammy, it’s crazy how we go through some crazy moments in life and we are scared shit at the moment, but then to laugh about it later.
That's right . Stories like these are better than the story about The Castellano hit and the whole thing with going against Gotti and the rest. These types stories by ex mob guys are better than most mob movies or books by ex mob guys. These guys have a knack for getting into situations like this one and other crazy stories. Probably living through these experiences is a large part of why they like that life (besides the money and "power"). Despite danger involved in these incidents like the Tiajuana story, ,for them,especiallky the real gangsters rather than the racketeers,, its fun, and keeps life from becoming boring or monotonous.
I love the stories like this in particular, where Sammy gets into some crazy situation and explains how he handled himself... THIS one gave me a lot of anxiety! That's what makes it such a good story
Love listening to the stories
It’s a miracle you survived life Sammy. Love these stories.
I can’t imagine the dude in the bar that got knocked out. Story he can tell his grandkids. “Hey one night we were robbing this American and he knocked me out” Who was it grandpa? “You ever hear of Sammy The Bull” Dude has Sammy’s knuckle prints on his melon.
I love to hear you tell stories.. merry Christmas to you and family Sammy.
A normal day in Sammy’s life was anything but normal. Best stories ever.
Legit. The exchangers he's talking about are this exchange houses, usually 10 or so in a shopping center right on the border. We used to change our dollars for pesos at this places before hitting Mex to party. I was like 13 and already knew money went in the socks. Mr. Sammy got trapped with cops thinking they're getting a payday . We use to get into fights all the time never got arrested. Then again we were poor and they knew there was no ransom to come get us.
I went to TJ in 1967 as a teen with a buddy of mine when we were teens. I was still a pretty wild place at that time. We both bought switchblades in a store and the moment we walked out a cop was there and asked if we wanted to buy tickets to the bull fight. I noticed two cops across the street watching him and as my friend said no I said yes. The moment he had the ticket money he and the two watching him left and so did we. Stayed a few more days and crossed the border back to the US. Any police type uniform in Mexico back then meant that person had a license to extort of false charges or strong arm rob you at their will or so it seemed to me. It was far worse in some of the third would countries I've been in. Even the nice ones things are achieved with bribes in most cases.
Love the stories Sammy, keep up the good work and all the best for the future bro.
Seems like such an authentic bloke, I could listen to these all day, much respect from Australia
Amazing story I was there in 1974 Tequila was 10 cents a shot !
Wow **
how much were the pink tacos
Good times
@@malcolmbaldwin5735 😂😂😂😂
Absolutely loved this story. Just seeing and hearing Sammy talk. I was a kid in juvenile detention headed too the pen. I had based many of my principles based on what I knew and heard about these guys. Been home 10 years now , got another chance and wouldn’t trade it for anything. A career a beautiful woman and my dog. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful.
smart people only go once.
Hablas Espanol Timmy? U look like u been around the varrio. Damn a 10 piece that's a lot bro good luck bro. It's a tough life at times. Where u from bro
Hi Sammy. I love hearing your stories. No one can tell them quite like you and because we know each other personally I’ve heard them before. I feel like I’m right there with you when you tell them. Your friend always -Angel
Sammy needs a movie or a hour long podcast every week these little clips are great but the people love you Sammy and your stories
I spent 13 hours in a Tijuana hell aka jail. It was serious as shit and 30 years later I still remember it.
My father got lucky. Him and a friend got into a fight there in the street....broke my father's glasses, he couldn't see shit and he was drunk as hell. Two cops came by and told them "you don't wanna end up in a Mexican jail." They sobered up real quick after that, lmao.
@Kyle Jim the one they put us in was far from the border is all I remember about where it was. No beds at all in the big cell I was in.
@@aphysique neither was the 13 hours. I would rather not spend a hour in any jail.
I really love these stories, I know he must keep some names and stories back so nobody gets in trouble. I read all the books on him and gotti,in 2 weeks im going to New York and sparks steak house is on my list,I hope its open.
Steak is stupid. You should eat kitty cat. Meow 🐈⬛ meow
Love the way you speak and put your stories together. I look forward to every video. Favorite channel on You Tube!!!!! Buon Natalie!!!!
Very good story, Sammy is a very tough man. I look at his early pics and he is strong n tough. Thank you, Sammy, for all those good stories
Take care Sammy, thank you for the content paisan
Aiello's
BEST Pasta sauce in a jar!!!
My mind never wanders when Sammy is telling a story, he's a bull with no BS. For sure a physically tough guy but his mental toughness is off the charts!
I personally think Sammy was smarter than Gotti when it came to the construction racquets
He ratted
Man I miss Sammy uploading a couple of videos a week.... We got spoiled to the best content on youtube so now every other channel seems kind of lackluster when compared to The Bull's.... I hope everything is great with you and your family and your team. God bless all of yous and we cant wait to hear you tell more stories
Love these stories
His editor did him dirty, they cut him off mid-sentence
Sammy should put one in him 😂
I think his"editor" is Karen.
@@CodyRae11 pigeons
Sammy will be 20-0 undefeated soon lol
He’s Italian, he stutters and all. His editor isn’t doing anything but changing the camera view.
How many people wanted to tell Sammy to close his legs he had the brasoles out 🤣🤣
just noticed that lol 😂 I don’t think he’s wearing underwear 😳
Sammy is funny as hell & he is not even trying to be .
I love when he keeps saying bro too .
A guy i worked with grew up w him & said he was always a good guy
You've had such a crazy life. God definitely had your back and knew you had a good heart. Love u Sammy. Love from Connecticut.
"I know what the fuck that means!" I love it.
Sammy should have a show where each episode is the recreation of his stories
an animated version like the Ricky Gervais Show would be quality
They should get him on 'Banged up abroad'
These stories are fascinating and the way you tell it I can only envision it
I’ve been to Tijuana many times. That place is f ing wild.
57k viewer's ! Before Xmas easy 100k . Sammy rocks !
love the stories sammy. keep em coming
Sammy great story!!! How’s the family, just a grown man from the south Bronx who’s followed you and your family. Take care and I wish the best for you brother!!!!
I wanna know Sammy's thoughts on current reality. His stories are interesting af. But... What does a guy like him, think ab times like these?
Ive absolutely have been binge watching Sammy's show all day and I cant turn if off! Love and respect!
Loving your stories, Sammy. Happy holidays ❤️🙏
Regardless of his past, these stories are CLASSIC! God bless him
I love how I can connect to these stories, my father was born in Tijuana,1954 and I can always ask him for crazy stories too 😂
That's what I love about home. I remember coming to San Diego from Brooklyn the first time and man it's really like being in another world. Shit, just so different. NY cats mostly travel up and down the east coast and go to Florida lot, very few travel out west, so CA is really is like being on Mars. And just like ole school NY your friends will laugh at the most serious shit that happens to you, and all you can do is shake your head and say fu*ck you guys and laugh with them. Love NYC!
it’s true, and it’s the same on the west coast too. we don’t really go over to the east coast unless it’s just to travel…feels like a whole different country haha
You have a hell of a good memory Sammy ! Wish I could remember details like you do. Great story !
Who needs tv when you have Sammys story time 🤷🏼♀️. This is so awesome 😎
This ain’t Hollywood this is the real deal...from the man himself
Well said
Can you belive it , that sammy has a youtube channel , this is ao niceee
The guy who judges someone for chheating on their wife but he himself does it and jusifies because he does it differently.
Thata the kind of guy who will backstab you on the spot because he will always feep justified in doing it
@@davidb9779 that was the life your bestfriend is the one who walks you into a room that you never walk out of
Exactly and the story comes from not an ordernary mn either, this is absolutly THE REAL storie from the real man who lived me 💓
LOVE u sammy
Sammy!!! 👍
I love these stories, they crack me up!
Love Sammy’s stories
Sammy's "stories" is like the Narration of some Old black & white movie. ...ala "SIN CITY"...too.
