Michael: “My name is Michael”
Sammy: “Bullshit”
🤣🤣
"I know a Michael when I see one, you don't look like a Michael, I knew many Michael's"
Il change it how’s that
"My name IS Michael. Cut the baloney, Sammy!"
@@blastproces I'll make it true.
I love how Sammy always tries to make it his story. Guy gives no respect but wants respect from everyone. Reminds me of my ex wife.
They both interrupt eachother.
Guess she wasn’t an earner lol
I know your ex wife. Definitely reminds me of her too.
You can clearly see Sammy is pissed off he did get involved....to busy being a tough guy. Now he is older and a little wiser he realizes he missed out. He's ego got in the way
Wuahahahahah best comment! Who got divorced will understand rofl))))>))))))
I don’t care what anyone says about Mike not being a tough guy or whatever .., if I was in that life I’d want to be on HIS team . Dude is smart AF….
We will never know if he is or not literally Sammy is the only mobster up until maybe mid 2000s that went around telling everyone all the killings he had a hand in literally no one in the right mind would think Sammy is the only person that killed people or even killed the most theirbwere entire wars with the family’s it’s only Sammy tryna pull Michael down to his level cause Sammy thinks he’s a know it all when I’m reality he’s not and doesn’t know everything
Brains over Braun anyday
@@ninjajunior4422 EXACTLY EXACTLY SAMMY SOUNDS LIKE A 🤡
i agree, we would make money with him and survive it. with sammy? nah fam
@@ninjajunior4422 Guys in that life with no braun get their brains left on the sidewalk
Michael may not be a killer and more of an earner. The mob can't exist without making money they are equally important. For Sammy not to give him a little credit shows just how jealous he is. He always trys to down play Michael. There's a lot of mob guys that killed too.
In my opinion the raketeers where far better mafiosos than the killers. Unfortunatly though the youtube hype is all about the killers but it was the raketeers who made the real serious money and it was the real reason why the mafia famelies prospered.
Pretty much all the guys are killers. Michael just doesn't admit because he doesn't want to get locked up over some drug dealers that sold some drugs to his sister or some guys that he had been ordered to kill
@@ahmedelsayed7762 the racketeers were only able to make that money because the killers was always there to stop any competition. They were both just as important to the Mafias success
That’s very ignorant. Sammy made a lot of money too and he has never discredited what Michael did. He just says that a lot of Michaels stories are either exaggerations or lies.
killers are a dime a dozen. smart ppl are hard to find. michael is more valuable than 20 killers.
One thing I’ve noticed, Sammy always thinks he’s right and knows everything.
It's because his entire life Gotti and the rest of the bosses were telling him how smart and perfect he was and it gave him a huge ego
Sammy is just old and too nostalgic about the life and stubborn af and he thinks he is the most ultra mega ultimate He-Man, mob guy personification to ever walk this planet :)
Yes it's ridiculous. He is actually obsessed with what Michael did or didn't do in the life that he has to constantly try to put him down. He has no respect whatsoever just a huge ego for someone who was nearly single handedly responsible for bringing down the mob.
They both have flaws mike thinks he is so righteous to this day Sammy thinks he is always right and was smarter and tougher then mike both are dummies
Nah He’s just from New York 😂
Michael has first hand knowledge, Sammy has second and third hand knowledge, Michael tells his side with his own knowledge and hands on experience and Sammy tells his side with knowledge he heard from a guy who worked for another guy he knows down the street. Michael is telling facts and Sammy is telling stories.
Yup and the reason he is being like this is because deep down he doesn't like Michael because he feels like he wasn't a "street guy" who got his hands dirty like sammy did. sammy is always praising the "tough guys" who were killers but talks down on the guys who weren't like him.
@@HiBye-ec8ts That's how Sammy expresses it but that's not all of the reason behind it. It's because Sammy is so nostalgic about the mob life and the good old days and now feels like he is a superior mob guy compared to Michael. (Like you said)
But also because Sammy is stubborn, has a personality that makes him think he knows everything and his age is propably affecting him, so those traits come up even more.
Bang on
💯‼️‼️
Sammy can you pls let Michael talk. The gas scam is Michaels Story not yours. God damn it!
Michael interrupted Sammy plenty of times.
Ser, It's a sitdown, not a "Let him talk, then I talk" show. Both of them have stories and has been talking about this before, Sammy said he wasn't in it but he knew guys who was and he wanted to tell his side of the story.
@@twinstar2566 for someone who wasn't in the gas scam Sammy certainly has a lot to say about it
@@twinstar2566 I know its a sitdown. But if you check the other short clips you will notice that Sammy often interrupts Michael to tell his side of the story. I know he has a lot to say. Both of them. Dont get me wrong. I love this sitdown. Its just something ive noticed ;)
@@juliandavidhoffer2022 did I watch it? Sammy talked 90 percent of the time
Sammy is a know it all. I bet he could tell Elon musk how to build a electric car.
It's even worse because he's a know it all, but don't know 💩
"Electric car? Tony Pappa had been doing this for years" - Sammy Gravano
You guys are so lame 🤬
Bro they are talking about Cosa Nostra, you have someone here who has been around all the guys and who grew up in that whole thing. He knew them all, all them the players. When your good at something, or have been involved in something for years, you will be experienced and have a lot of knownledge and wisdom in that area, and Cosa Nostra is his area.
@@misaelroman409 you're missing the point.......regardless of what you think of sammy, he was a somebody in that life, hes just questioning the idea, and Michael's involvement with it, he was wrong or sammys sources were wrong ........this is what this sit down is all about heated discussions, that what sells !!!!!!!!!!!!
You gotta love how Sammy buts in to tell Franzese how his own scam works. He's worse than a gossiping old lady. Every clip he's trying and failing to one-up Michael
Sammy's a glorified leg breaker. That's it. The guy would run a hot dog stand into the ground and he's trying to explain one of the most complex and successful scams of the 20th century lol
The gas scam was not that complicated first thing you needed was a gas station and a hole net work of people to keep selling the station to others in your network the world not stop the sale back then because the business owner owed back taxes it was not really complicated they just pay the taxes the money was so great the were buying up other gas station and Kept repeating the process ever one in this racket owed the government money the real scam was not paying what was owed
The scam wasn't invented by the Russians and much less Franzese. It was done first by guys like Marc Rich and his oil trading cronies. Look it up.
I hear you, but the gas thing wasn't that complicated. They just simply didn't pay the taxes on gasoline they sold. It wasn't a super intricate scam.
@@charlescarter4608 It was a more complicated then that, which is why it worked.
Company A Purchased the gas as a wholesaler that did not have to pay taxes on the gas.
Company B then purchased the gas from company A on paper.
Company C illegally received the gas and sold it to the public.
Company D Filters the Kickbacks.
Company B would then be periodically liquidated so the paper trail between company A and B ended there.
Company C didn't owe the tax to the IRS so as long they forwarded their false information the IRS would have no reason to investigate company C.
Company D had zero paper connection to any of the other businesses.
They didn't simply not pay taxes, they created a scheme where by the IRS wouldn't be able trace where the stolen tax money was actually going.
If it were not for Phillip Moskowitz being caught on tape it's unlikely that they would have been caught.
Without people like sammy the Mafia would not be feared
Sammy trying to discredit Michael is just embarrassing. Sammy is a Piano pusher where as Michael is a piano player. Both equally important to Mafia life.
A Piano pusher wouldnt be alive.
@@JackRed6666 ummm ya they would especially if all the known men related to when he was in are all probably dead or still in prison...... your forgetting he took the stand and ratted on every one of his family members even gotti just to get a reduced time .........
@@JackRed6666 Sure would if he presses the keys correctly.
But who did they like better? Plenty of people can pull a trigger, few can pull out the gas scam.
@@James12361 Of course Michael is a liar. But. They sold a certain amount of gas without paying tax. The total number of money they made is solid. The detail that explains things may be that there were MORE people splitting the cake than it is said.
Imagine glorifying your gritty filthy life of murder against someone who lived the same life,without the killing.. living with millions and luxury
Mike still killed he can just outright say it though. He literally just says "I did whatever was asked of me" so he doesn't incriminate himself
@@sketchstevens5859 yeah but Sammy carries his murders around like a badge of honor. Michael straight up says murder was the evil part of that life
@@abjaq2513 I can’t count how many times Sammy has said “murder is bullshit” you just pulled your statement straight out of your ass.
Sammy was hardly living a gritty life. He’s was an underboss and owned as much real estate as Michael if not more.
@@juliandavidhoffer2022 in mafia states of America he said "you didn't murder this that you don't deserve to be made as early as you did" to Michael. He implies he's superior because he murdered 19 ppl
By the mid 80's Michael was a very powerful capo, while Sammy was still 'just' a made man who hadn't yet been promoted. For him to act as if he knows everything about Mikes business dealings back then is just silly. Mike had some dangerous people in his crew. If you notice, one thing that he always says is that he HATES drugs. The junkies that testified against his father and the dealers that supplied his late sister would not have had a nice time...trust me!
This. People don’t realize that Sammy was just an unofficial acting captain until 1987. Then got pinched and ratted in 1990. Only 3 years as underboss (he only got that because Frankie Decico was killed). That’s why he has no idea about John Gotti trying to muscle in on the gas scam. He wasn’t high enough level to know about what Mike was doing in 1980-85.
Brandon your a simp. You have been com.ed by franzese. Stay home and don't venture out, it's too dangerous for the gullible
@@danielb27 Ok boss.
@@brandonshaw2120 your thinking process is pure social engineering. You have the spine of a jellyfish. You won't listen to any lone but michael, wonder why he has. L friends
@@danielb27 I said okay ffs! What do you want from me?
It's funny because things done in secret that get exposed by someone somewhere always unfold as an enigma, everyone has their take on it very few know the whole story, honestly, Micheal knows how and what went down with it all
Well sed .
Exactly idk why sammy kept runing his mouth
Exactly
@@motovation101mediation8 The gas tax was a scheme happening before Michael.
How do you know Michael knew everything?
This man made more money in a week than I will ever see in my life time.
He stole more money in a week than any of us will earn in a lifetime.
@@Roadglide911 like the 'govment' ain't robbing us left and right and every way in between!
@@bambooqueue9093 and u hate the government for it, right ?
@@michaelegan5581 No he fucking loves it.
You, me and Sammy.
Sammy be str8 hating on Michael lol
Michael didn’t have to be a tough guy. His presence and reputation were enough to keep people straight!!
Sammy is losing a lot of respect with his jealousy and insecurity, classic narcissist
Yeah I am of the same opinion always on Michael's case not letting him finish always trying to expose Michael for something but he's only making himself look bad
Yeah but he's Sammy the Bull like did you exspect him to be any other way??? When i heard about this sit down, i knew he would be exactly.... Like this
He looks bad in these clips they've put on CZcams I hope he chills out further into the sit down imo.
Not really. The only bad moment he has was trying to equate himself and Michael in their cooperation. Everything else has been fine. Plus when Sammy ridicules Michael for his stories you can’t exactly say it’s unwarranted. Dude has made a lot of claims. Fuck in this clip he suggested he was in a position to make demands of Carmine his fucking boss. That would get you killed.
@@juliandavidhoffer2022 I doubt he would of worded it as a demand at the time he does big himself up a bit but at the same time he will have had alot of power an respect because of his father an the money he was bringing in.. The golden child as Sammy refers to him
Sammy is so jealous of Michael’s innate intelligence. All his BS accusations and stories are being swatted away like flies. Sammy HATES that Micheal went straight after prison and changed his life. Never reoffended. While Sammy was rotting in prison for 20 years with the rat label Michael was living the good life. It just makes Sammy sick, that’s why he always tries to tear down and not give Michael credit for anything.
Not only that Sammy such a business man his construction company was a front for drug dealing and he kept all his money and Mike gave the government all the money he had to start a new life
Mike I respect you and love you
You nailed it!
Exactly right I agree, Sammy is a great story teller like Michael, however unlike Michael, Sammy did not possess the smarts that Michael clearly and innately had in that life. Also unlike Michael, Sammy did not benefit from having a legendary mafia underboss like Sonny Franzese as his father to mentor him through that process of how to move and maneuver in that life. It definitely bothers Sammy that a guy like Michael who lived the same life in the mob turned out slightly better in life today compared to his own life.
Franzese walked away but he did not talk. Gravano sang like a canary.
Michael is immediately more intimidating by sitting there and listening. Sammy keeps trying to butt his story as the right one
I wonder at any stage during the filming of this series did Sammy finally realise that Michael is just much more intelligent that he is? Any clips I have seen Sammy is being Sammy, which is always entertaining, but Michael is handing him is ass on a plate time and time again.
Probably not. His ego is so big , that he could never admit it.
Hes Not more intelligent it’s not hard to scam And considering he got caught for it he wasn’t moving very smart sammy killed the most powerful person around at the time , Maybe what three times over? I mean how many dons did sammy Have ICED?? Sammy is competitive And has an Ego It’s not jealousy It’s Competition And a Tense Situation. These are fucking gangsters not Regular people Sitdowns will be tense!
Not to mention they’re from two different Families so tension is literally inevitable
Michael is more disciplined and educated not more intelligent. Being quick to anger has nothing to do with intelligence.
It’s not the intelligence debate program!
It’s mafia state
Seeing Michael and Sammy laughing and not arguing is something I never thought I’d ever see
It's so obvious that Gravano is so jealous and envious of Michael, that he can't see straight. Michael has turned his life around for the better. For God. Gravano is still the thug he always was..at least that's what I'm seeing.
SG has never been a hypocrite about it; awful, but the killer, he is. It's not jealousy, you just know where you stand with him. MF on the other hand: there's a passage in the Bible that says "Satan's house divides itself". This is the other half of Michael Franzese. If he reads the Bible like he says he does, that passage should have jumped out at him.
Sammy is jealous Michael was just a smarter individual. Michael was way more privilege that Sammy when it comes to upbringing, so the results just make sense.
He is jealous for sure. Sammy isn’t as threatening as he once was when he was younger. So I feel he has to carry it that way
In that life, there are gangsters and there are earners/racketeers. Gangsters are dangerous and enforce the rules, break knees, do the killing when ordered. Earners make money flat out. Both important. Sammy was both. Michael was an earner. In that life, earners individually aren't feared the same way.
It's apparent that Gravano is envious of Michael.
There's no doubt about it!
@@reneehomen2226 How? Sammy made 5-10m a year while being a Gangster, I don't think he is the jelous type.
Michael needs his own Masterclass.
Michael Franzese is a Man of God he has no reasons to lie or boast!
Fool
Hard to buy a man of God who brags constantly about his life of crime….
Damn right, he's the son of God and never lies.

@@edwaitt1973 not only brags but profits off talking about it. He may be doing real good with his money now, who knows. Who are we to say I guess. Definitely interesting stuff though

Michael is too legit man. It just is what it is .
Michael always backs his story saying “it’s a matters of records” and no one can even argue afterwards lol true tho
Mobs in the 50s: stealing, killing, trafficking, racket and so on.
Mobs in 2021: dissing each others on podcasts.
They still do all that other stuff too, look up the latest indictments that just happened to the Colombos 2 months ago.
That kind of money buys a lot of respect.
Persico should have been blowing him for 2M a week. Sheez.
How can you sit across the table from the man that created the business and tell him you didn't create it this guy and this guy were in on it, michal is like ya I know I'm the guy who gave them a slice of the pie.
His lack of self awareness and over the top hubris makes it impossible for him to not go mining into the stories of others for his own gold.
Seems like Michael was part of the inception team. Sammy is talking about something once others wanted in. Big difference between brains and muscles. BUT IN COSA NOSTRA, BOTH ARE INTEGRAL.
Sammy always has to try to contradict Michael and throw shade. Stop being a grumpy old fart Sammy😂
Finally Sammy Says “I Know You Made A Lot Of Money” Finally A Lil Credit 9:09
Sammy's jealousy is off the roof
Jealous of what??? He was a underboss, what's he got to be jealous of????
They were both jealous of Roy. That being said you’ll see some prime responses of mine how’s Sammys not jelly on his page
Or you mean that he was jealous of the money???
jealous..? he's annoyed with michael as he is the last to remain with such a spoiled brat.

Very enjoyable when they laugh and talk without fighting. Awsome 🙌
Sammy will never give respect to Micheal, but demands it from him? Respect is a 2 way street in my book.
Sammy is too jealous, proud and ignorant to speak on it. He's basing every claim on rumor.
Michael IS the gas business and Sammy still claims to know better who was in it.
The hell is he trying to win in that?
Sammy snitched on everyone.
so did gaspipe and a lot of other mob guys.
@@nicecutie your point?
Michael took the stand also
Everybody talks it but let’s see how many people on social media would actually do the time
@@Stefanorossetti315th he sure did.
Looking forward to this one. Never heard it before
Man that guy in the chair behind Sammy must be scared stiff with the both of them I'm the room 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Michael is an Ace when it comes to creating payback schemes. Sammy just falls short in that department. Not to discredit Sammy, Sammy is a "Hustler" that's where he shines!
Sometimes in life we have stories in our heads for years and believe that story and keep that story the way we remember, but many times that story might be a bit off, so it's good that you say your story then the other person helps clarify it better then both people talking get an understanding of eachothers past thoughts on the subject, so its good if Sammy just at times doesn't go so hard on Michael as sometimes our own thought is not the way something exactly was, so both can update eachother about the past when the story is a bit off
I like seeing these videos where they are talking and getting along better than the angry teasers you put out. Here they’re actually sharing information on what they lived through. This is what will get it sold.
I do love it when thee two are in the same room together
sammy knows mike has got more cash stashed away than he has ever seen before....sammy scrambling, pushin hard just knowing all this attention is gonna fade away....he ain't gettin no younger
Sammy was a serial killer - if the boss said sammy jump, he would say how high.
Michael wasn’t a boss, but the boss respected him as an equal. If the boss told Michael to jump, he would say why do you want me to jump.
It’s evident in these little chats the level these two were on, Michael up there, sammy down there.
How? Sammy was the underboss and came with no family ties. Bruh he earned that bump
Sammy was not a serial killer stop reading Google… find me a video where Sammy tells you how many people he killed with his own hands…
@@Nahhhhhhson He’s admitted to killing. Get your head out of the sand. Most of the muscle in families are psychopaths & yes “serial killers”! They enjoyed killing. Made them feel powerful over another human. Most of their killings were by surprise & deception. The victim never knowing that it was coming. Most killed 2 or more. That’s a fckin Serial killer & sammy is no different. Should be locked up with manson.
If these 2 worked together, it would be like Ace (Michael) & Nicky (Sammy) in the movie Casino lol
Reall sit down
Sammy didn’t have the facts. Michael did.
My wife says let's pray for Sammy
Keep showing the same clips over and over, but there is still not chance in hell that I will pay $40 to watch the entire series. Quite a few others feel the same going by social media posts.
Gravano comes to this with a bad attitude. It’s like he hears things and he feels he sure he’s right because he’s on the street.
"But this was money I earned." No it was money you defrauded, grifted and stole. You didn't earn shit.
In his world he earned it, What he was doing was his job at that time
Morally you're correct but technically you're wrong. The definition of "earn" is to obtain money in return for labor and services aka gas stations and gasoline. The tax money was still earned through the sale of gasoline, they just never paid the tax lol
In all fairness, it's not like the government that he was taking it from "earned" it either.
Michael is a real gentleman, carries himself very well !!
I could tell Michael is getting annoyed just about every time Sammy talks over him the look on Michaels face....
It's nice seeing them talking like old friends. That's how it should be. Salute
This is beautiful .
Micheal sounds on point
Imagine if John Gotti was alive during this CZcams era?....what I would pay to see Gotti at this table!
I love Mike and Sammy ! 2 of the greatest wise guys of all time! I’m glad to see they both got it together and are back on the street and doing good things. May they live forever!
Sammy is a killer, should be in jail. Don't admire this type of people, they are criminals. Be safe!
Very int discussion
These people were malignant parasites.
They themselves were cogs in the greater machine. Yeah, they were important cogs - not disputing that - but still only cogs. Try to build anything in New York bigger than a three bedroom house and *wham* the unions are on you. To this day, the Mafia are leeches
Mike wins the sit down on every case....
Sammy is OG but if Mike says something that Sammy's sources disagree with, he challenges Mike with no actual knowledge...
Mike never disrespects Sammy or his version of events and he never aims to know if Sammy is telling the truth on his own stories.
Mikes stuff is verifiable. Its in court records
I would have preferred to run with Mike than Sammy. Sammy is cunning af, but Mike is just smarter and more of a thinker.

Sammy's response to the "gas tax business" in every conversation with Michael goes something like this; "Well, we had a Capo that came to us (John & me) about this gas money issue, but I can't remember his name?"
WTH??!! You can't remember his name...but he was in "the family"??!🤦♂️ C'mon Sammy! You were the damn Underboss. You should have known this Capo like the back of your hand. You don't just forget those people when they are like blood family...of course, unless you want to forget?🤔
I'm not trying to be critical (okay, yes I am), but it's as if Sammy feels like he has to always "up one" on Michael. He seems to, constantly, try to delegitimize, Michael.
Yes...Sammy is a true street gangster, we get that...and it STILL shows. But give Michael his due, he brought in more in a week, than Sammy did in a 3 month period.
Again...this is ALL about ego and its, for the most part, all one sided...Imo!
"I knew this guy....Nicola Tesla....had this idea that you could pull electricity from the air....great guy...stand up guy....then this other guy comes along...Elon Muskerelli or something....I know this, this is what I heard....Tesla tells him his idea of pulling electricity from the air and putting it into cars...Muskerelli says show me....so stand up guy that he is, great guy....Tesla shows him...then Muskerelli steals his idea, steals his company....doesn't change the name just to add insult to injury....I know some guys, people who are connected and what they tell me is Muskerelli had Tesla killed...I dunno that it's true, it's what I heard...I believe the people who told me...

I truly like both guys, but Sammy doesn't need to feel insecure. Michael ran a great scam and Sammy was the muscle. Different skill sets, but both very effective at what they did. 💯
The problem is Sammy is insecure and jealous. Michael was associated with very dangerous people, Sammy makes it sound like since he wasn't in the gas business it wasn't that big of a deal
I like them both. For different reasons. For similar reasons. I'll say no more. Good coming together. Good sit-down.
Not spending $40 on this when we were told for months this would be free. Instead, I’ll just watch all these clips. Happy Holidays PBD.

How did Sammy survive with that attitude
Gotta say Michael would run rings around Sammy the bull . Michael would be a better suited underboss compared to sammy the bull .
Have much more respect for Mike then Sammy. Seems sammys always trying to one up him but constantly gets shut down. Love listening to both there stories but mike is my go to guy.
Why do I feel like Michael has to draw stick figures and smiley faces in order for Sammy to understand certain things?
The intelligence level between these two men is ridiculously obvious..Sammy clearly isn’t on the same planet as Michael Franzese.
Michael used brains, Sammy used muscle. Simple.
If you don’t think Sammy used his brain I don’t think you are using yours.
Whats easier, to pull a trigger or to expand a scam to a multi-million dollar business, I know which one I'd give the credit too, also note how often Michael says "its public record, check up on it" I've never ever heard Sammy say this even though I've heard him say a hell of a lot,
Exactly. With money you can buy all the killers in the world
@@soulless8901 and then some.
I’m Absolutely LOST FOR WORDS‼️ 😲
LOL at the Armenian Ending hahhahah
why was the host shaking his Head though and saying " these armenians" disapproval ey
I watched all of Michael & Sammys videos. Sammys a real gent however, I’ve lost respect for the guy he can’t stop f*****g whining about everything Michael says. Michael’s the real bread earner here. I don’t know how STB ran a successful construction business with this attitude. Paul castellano “in our world there are gangsters and racketeers” understand that you’re speaking to one of the best racketeers the mob had and you show him no respect. Who cares if Michael didn’t go around breaking knee caps he kept everyone else in the business fed, whilst taking from the government & nobody got hurt. It’s a win win.
I like Sammy but he admits he wasn't in the gas business. Michael was in the gas business for big $$. Why is he trying to educate Michael on what he thinks happened when Michael lived it? 🙄
i talk nuff shit about this David dude but I still click the like for him...Thank you for 10 minutes bruffa
This man Michael seems so much smarter than any Italian wise guy I’ve ever heard. Impressive guy.
He brings up intrigue with this interesting gasoline scam, and Sammy ends up arguing, and then talking 2nd hand about it for 5 minutes. Shut up, let the man speak.
He was planning on going to med school prior the life, so you know he has innate intelligence
Yeah whos the boss? Mike. Sammy is just muscle.
100%
Not true. Sammy was underboss, Mike was captain. But yes, Sammy is more Joe peschi in Goodfellas, Mike is Paulie
@Johnny Caruthers Paulie is Henry hills boss in Goodfellas
@Johnny Caruthers no I'm not confusing anything. Jimmy, tommy and Henry worked UNDERNEATH Paulie. In the very beginning of the movie Henry says "Paulie might've moved slow, but that's because Paulie didn't have to move for anyone". Please just look up Goodfellas, it's right there. I know the sopranos very well, two different characters, same first name
Sammy just sounds like a bitter old man. He is outclassed obviously jealous of Michael. All he does is interrupt Michael as much as he can. He has a Napoleon complex.
9:53 I would love to know who produced the theme song for MSA. It's pretty good. I would have added some lofi vinyl effect, maybe a bit of distortion, a little bit of delay on the piano and percussion to fill in the gap between notes..but it hits the spot in terms of Mafiaso suspense.
Michael: My names Michael
Sammy: I knew a Russian named Michael, he was the first guy to be named Michael.
Bada beep, Bada boop, Bada bop. Gabagool.
Gabagool? Ova here!!!
Well put.
this sitdown should be free.
These snippets are
@@irishuwould5185 i mean the entire show.
Sammy likes to think he’s the best gangster there ever was
I’m tellin you, the Armenians. FUCKKKING CLASSIC CHAMP ! I’m in tears right now.
Sammy comes off very jealous of Mike or something. He claims to be the greatest gangster of all time, most loyal and smartest hitman ever. I hate saying this shit because I like Sammy and his podcasts but this "sit-down" don't give him a good look. And he is doing it to himself. Other people had success in mafia also Sammy. We all have heard of this gas business and who made it it happen for years.
This part was def not good for Sammy but the other parts were somewhat equal
Mike has class. He’s not here working a bunch of mafia groupies. He’s just sharing his life. He entertains normal people. Sammy? He is all about hustling these little circle jerk mob groupies who have John Gotti action figures on their dresser in mommy’s house. Mike
Doesn’t need this cheesy BS.
As a rhode islander, was pretty cool to hear providence mentioned here. Federal hill atwells ave baby lfg 🇮🇹
I like it way better that they are talking respectfully instead of arguing
