@ElGuapo4000 Sammy itself is an Arabic name which means lofty or high, that's why in the Middle East you'll find a lot of people named Sammy and from Sammy you'll probably get the short version of Sam.
Found this podcast in the last couple months and love what yall are doing, Im half Irish and Hungarian but love the Italian culture, and Sams videos believe it or not helped me through some dark times recently. Love what all of you are doing. Fan and subscriber 4 life now. Oooh!
Holy fuck living in the Appalachian region of PA and going through RU-vid I never expected to see Sam I’m from port Richmond Staten Island and I know his mom’s family very very well
It’s a noise gate issue. Gate is activating because the threshold is too low for his voice. Either turn up the gain on the mic or turn down the threshold of the noisegate.
Saaaaaaaaaaammm!! I love his content! It’s in the form of shorts and I wish they were longer, but most of the time it’s enough to let you come up with your own interpretation of a story
Top of my head: Sam, a Teacher in Staten Island, is reminded of his Italian-Mafia connected past when he is called forth by his brothers to save Teddy, the heart of the family, when he disappears one day. Sam had left it all behind and found a good life to himself outside of the mafia upbringing. We learn he is one of 6-7 identical brothers, each with a different personality and roll in the family business. The search finds he was kidnapped by a rival gang and the search begins, all while we learn about each character's background.
He has a great look for acting rolls. Maybe type-cast, but still. There is the video about why Teddy doesn't wear a suit, and his face is silhouetted by a lamp. Awesome profile of a tough guy going through something.
My great grandmother was Italian. I wish I knew more about my Italian heritage. I'm Mexican, but having some Italian blood was kind of the curveball. All I know is that they immigrated here some hundred years ago, and changed their name (or translated it) from Campioni to Champion.
7:13 As a fan of Sam Alkhatib, I’m guessing that Tommy stopped appearing in the table talk episodes, because Sam got tired of putting eyeglasses on…. Or putting six chairs in every video. Either way, it’s really cool to have Sam on the podcast, and hear some cool facts about him.
As a man who grew up in Massena Ny, the accent is something if you dont use it ya lose it. I sound like an italian crossed with a deep southern twang. Ive litterally had people talk to me just to hear how fked up I sound 😂😂😂😂
Sam Alkhatib should do an AMSR video (audio book) or a cameo on "Family Guy": "Get read of, all of the negative thoughts, that you've got in your/ya head. (I respect Pete Davidson.) Namaste, B#%@hes."
This guy is the first guest I don't recognise him being Italian, I am sorry guys, it is only my opinion. I would be so happy if you could invite Mr. Franzese or Sammy Gravano one day 🙏
@@JohnKes88 lol! Scared to call two geriatrics rats? When they are actually rats? Not really to worried about that brother. Especially Sammy…Michael atleast seems like a new man. So even though i dont agree with him, i wouldn’t feel the need to shame him. Sammy though!? The guy still thinks hes hard. I dont get how people respect these guys. You wanna stand up italian G on here. Look up Merlino from Philly…thats a real deal guy. Did his time like a man and helps his community
@@uncleangie9597 Hey...I'm not a gangster or a friend of ours...My interest in figures like Michael Franzese and Sammy The Bull is purely from a character perspective! I find their aura and stories fascinating, but that's where it ends! I'm not interested in becoming a mafia expert or anything. I understand that Joey Merlino might tick all the boxes for you, but he doesn't appeal to me personally. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Just sharing mine here.
What? He is Italian, pal. This is as authentic as Italian gets. From NJ, NY, Staten Island...I mean what about what you see here even seems remotely fake?
