And that's why you hear that tape afterwards of John saying, I'm getting pinched soon. OK, I'm going away. OK, and I know what I got to do once I go away. I got a life sentence. I know what I got to do. But what are you comfortable being? And he's trying to ask him what kind of position you would want to be in. So obviously, you know, John came to terms.
Sammy had the understanding what John's expectations were of him. And everybody's going to move forward. Now, you heard those tapes at bail hearings. He did, meaning Sammy did. You were John's cellmate. You were my father's cellmate. Why don't you take care of your business? Why don't you take care of your business? He said nothing. He said nothing, okay? He understood my father was angry at him.
Why don't you take care of business? You should have killed John. You were his cellmate. Kill him. That door locks. It's you and the man. Well, he said he wanted to. He did, and I want to fly a space shuttle, but I don't know how to, okay? Sammy never did a tough guy thing other than scheme, and he said he pulled the trigger one time.
You believe the story that he got the nickname because he was a good fighter, the Bull? Do you believe that? He told you that, right? Did he tell you that on your show? Did he say that? My nickname, The Bull, came because some old-timers say, oh, look at the little bull. No. He got the nickname The Bull because he's from Bull's Head, Staten Island.
There were three different individuals that were in that group. So to identify, Sammy from Bull became Sammy Bull. That's what he became. Because back then, Sammy was... According to the psychological report, they have him here at 5'6", but I'm 5'9", I can eat an apple off of his head. So I know he's not 5'6". He's probably closer to 5'4", 5'5". And I remember him back then.
He went to beautician school. He was a very thin guy. He wasn't no bull. He became a bull years later when he thought he was going to prison, and he began taking steroids. He became a bull. When he was working out in the gym with Frankie Fappiano and other individuals, and they told me he was taking the needles in his ass, and they blew up.
to go to prison, because he was so afraid of going to jail, so he wanted to put some muscle on. That's when he became a bull. But before that, he was just Little Sammy from Bull's Head, which became Sammy Bull. So the nickname was a lie, okay? And again, look. I didn't want to come on the air, and I'm not here. I don't give a second thought to Sammy Gravano. I really don't.
I don't watch podcasts. I don't. I don't. I'm just not. I'm not computer literate. I don't go online and do it. But he doesn't have the right. He doesn't have the right. When a man, a guy that you knew was a man's man, you saw that man, how he comported himself, how John Gotti comported himself. I've never seen anybody like him, and I've seen them all. And I'm not saying it because he's my father.
Would I defend him regardless? Always. Of course. Always. But I'm going to tell you something, Pat, not to interrupt you. Please, go for it. But just to tell you this much, there's limits in how far I can go in my defense of my father. But when people, when I have an opportunity to observe this man, and when people who did time... in the most violent prisons in the country, if not the world, okay?
In the most secure places in the world and saw how he comported himself. If they're the ones who are further filling my head, if they're further filling my balloon, my head, to keep preaching John Gotti, okay? The attributes of John Gotti. Look, he was the real deal. If he wasn't, you say, he's my father, I loved him. And you can rest on that note and go on to something else.
Made a mistake.
Remember, Pat, to answer that question, remember Frankie DiCicco was the guy. Frankie got blown up. Right. He got killed. Great man, a tough guy. And again, the picture, there's a picture of my father and Frankie as kids in their 20s. Frankie was, I think, four or five years older than my dad. My father's 28 years old and Frankie's maybe 32, 33 in Lewisburg Penitentiary.
with Nicky Boy Paradiso and other individuals. These guys cut their teeth in the maximum security penitentiary together. They put work in together. This goes back to the MCC visit, what my father says. Punk couldn't do any time. My father violated his own belief. His belief is if you didn't do time with John Gotti, he ain't making you nobody. You ain't going nowhere with John Gotti.
Everybody in John's circle did time with John Gotti. Everybody. Frankie DiCicco was very close to my father because he did time with my father. He did time in Lewisburg Penitentiary, okay, in the unit, walked the yard with my father, went to wars with my father. See, Frankie, that was Frankie's position. When Frankie got killed, John, being the diplomat,
did what he believed, he didn't do the right thing, but he did what he believed to be the right thing. Took a Brooklyn guy, Frankie's close friend was Sammy Gravano, He already took Frankie's old position, and now he moved him along and put him in that position, in a somewhat quasi-acting position for Frankie. And Frankie being dead. He moved him along and cultivated him along.
And you have to understand something, okay? The Sammy Gravano that you see today, the Sammy Gravano that did time the way he did the time, was not the Sammy Gravano on the streets. Sammy's not a stupid guy. Sammy knows how to say the right things and do the right things. Sammy was an earner. Sammy went out. He knew. He knew how to turn the rocks over. He knew how to go find the money.
He knew how to do things. He knew how to talk to people, okay? And he knew how to get things done. He was a schemer. He was a plotter. He was one of those guys. It takes a unique character to lure your best friend into a place and fully knowing, and you're having a cup of coffee and you can kill him right there on the spot. I'm not sure I'm qualified to do that. In fact, I believe I'm not, okay?
So that just goes to tell you the depth of his character. So if he can do something like that, what else could he do? There's different people, you know. I used to say this, not to interrupt you, please. I used to say this. I brought home a lot of good men from prison with me and helped get them jobs. As long as they're civilians, we're friends, okay?
I walked away from my former life, my former existence, and I tell them the same thing. If you're going to revert back and go back to the former gang, your crew, whatever have you, please, just leave me out of this. I've been through enough. I've been through enough. My family's been through enough.
But if you're going to do the right thing, okay, you're going to be a true blue brother in every sense of the word. Take care of your family. We'll be there for each other, but that's as far as it goes.
