  Speaker 6: and her records at the time were just starting to
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: pop off in the Tri State area, and I was

  Speaker 6: They were like like Raina and I was like, well,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: I love rain his music. Come to find out she
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: was doing a Mall tour and it was in the
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Staten Island Mall and she was promoting her albums at
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: the time, her album And you know, back then you
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: used to be able to stand in line in a
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: record store and go by the artist.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you go.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I did not to blow your mind because I went
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: and saw you in the Staten Island mall.

  Speaker 1: Probably there at the same time, kid, Yes I did.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like literally like that, Yes I did.

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Wow, oh my god, that's what I keep going.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Well, but then, so that's where it started.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: And then and then I had gotten to meet her
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: in a record store. F ye was the store, okay, right,
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: and she was there with a radio DJ at the
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: time by the name of Vick Latina. And I'm taking
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: it back to when Vic had bleached blonde tips on
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: his hair, right, And I got to meet them. But
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: this was always my thing, like to get to where
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: I'm at now, I always envisioned meeting the people that
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: I thought were like the superstars to me in my era.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: So it wasn't uncommon that when I heard Gumba Johanni
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: was going to be somewhere signing autographs for two hours
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: in a mall or in a store.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I would go. My brother always told me I was.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Corny, but look I wound up now twenty years later
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: being a syndicated radio DJ.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean. Like it was always
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: my thing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: So when I finally got to see Raina in the mall,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: I said, A year later, I says, I'm going to
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: be on that stage hosting, and she's going to be
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: performing to the very day. A year later, there was
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: a thing called Fashion Jem that our friend David Albertson,
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: who was the marketing.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Manager and director of the Staten elam All, put together.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: For back to school and all the stores were run
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: in promos on fashion and discounts and sales, and they
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: brought the hottest dance music artists in and local host
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: And because my show was so popular in the College
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: of Staten Island CSI, I like to go out to
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: College of Smart Italians.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: You know that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: And I was on the air and we broadcast my
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: show live from the mall with them performing. It was her,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: it was Judy, it was Lucas, it was a mook.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: All the people that I grew.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Up wanting to get to know here we are, Here
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: we are.

  Speaker 6: She's kind of behind the scenes now on her but
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: in the beginning we got her on there featured as
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: an artist. But it was a brainchild of the two
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: of ours, just kind of talking after last year's Beatstock,
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: because Beatstock went on a hiatus for a little bit,
• 12:00

• 12:27
  Speaker 6: How cool would it be? She goes, well, then, why
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: don't we just make it happen? And it was kind

• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And you know she's going to do also be in Beatstock,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: So I'm probably going to be like her backstage assistant.

  Speaker 2: I hope.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: So.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: And well, I'm gonna come to the one in Long Island.

  Speaker 2: I don't know about the one in Jersey. I'm gonna
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: try to come to the one in Jersey, but I'll
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: come to the one.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: You know what's cool about it, it's two days, similar lineups,
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: but there's wild cards. Yeah, so if you go to
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: P and C, you're not necessarily going to see who's
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: going to be at Jones Beach.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: If you go to Jones beach. You're not going to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: necessarily see who's that?
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, huge, Oh my god, that that that Sabrina is
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: not going to be there from the cover girls, she is,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: she's on it, she's not she.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: She herself is not going to because she's going on vacation.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So it was another dear friend of mine who I
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: darly so good people, great saying, a great personage.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: You know how she started out.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: She was a background dancer for Angela Venudo, Yes, when
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: his dance records came.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: She was the background dancer for Veronica.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: That's how it happened.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: You know, she's young because also she was she is
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: not in the same age group as the rest of them.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: She's a little bit younger. She's in the forties, so
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I could say that, I'm not going to say how
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: is but she's younger. So then she got on to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the cover girls, but there are two separate cover girls.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: She's from the New Faction. The New Faction was was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: after the Ogs, right.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Which is Bo's girl correct an angel and he's got
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: a phenomenal voice.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: But then when when when the.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Group changed, I think they splain and then she's on.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: A star from that era on was the New Cover Girls,
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: and Sabring is part of the New Cover Girls.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And then there's also an East Coast and West Coast.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Pretty much yeah, pretty much.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But you know she's said she's not gonna because
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: she's like, she's like, I'm taking a vacation the first
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: time in years. I gotta go on.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It's like Beatstock is pretty awesome.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: I mean I grew up going to it, so now
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: to be part of it in a different capacity, it's
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: pretty cool.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about this? Always blows my mind.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: The producing aspect of it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I love guys.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, do you like it? Are you
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: stressed out by it? Is it exciting?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: She gets to perform, Yeah, which is great.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: You know that's that's the easy part. It's one hundred percent.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: It's all the backstage stuff and the show.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I'm a little more behind the scenes than that.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, even people don't see what goes on Behod.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: No, he does all the stressing for me. When he
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: did my show real and we're talking to Veto and
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: it has to be like eight minutes and like fifty
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: nine seconds.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: How do you get the meat and potatoes and the
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: best parts of our songs in right?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: And we did it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: We went to the studio last year, we worked it out.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I had some DJ friends do some things on it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And it's work, you know, but it's fun. That's part
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: But then there's a show running during the show that
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: nobody knows about it. That's getting everybody lined up. Who's
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: in the pen on deck.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: To get ready to go on stage? What's happening behind
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: them today?
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: You know, how are they?
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a machine, Yeah, but it's cool.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: So, you know, I kind of unofficially have helped for
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: so many years with that just being back there, so
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: this year to be involved in it, you know, in
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: a different capacity. We're going to kind of do like
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: red carpet interviews from backstage, you know, gonna be doing
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: a lot of social media coverage, maybe possibly some on
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: stage spots with Speedy. I don't know yet what that's
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: gonna look like, but whatever the case may be, I'm
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: just so honored to be part of it. And the
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: podcast is just literally leading up to it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: It's interviewing artists.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: And it's just basically trying to entice people to the
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: hot to sticket in town.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, could you do.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Some like moments of podcasting on stage maybe.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking more back and then on stage, just kind
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: of like hyping the crowd up for the performance, you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: the whole job of a host whenever you do anything
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: like that at such a large scale, with such a
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: quick amount of time, just get the artists in and out.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you hold the energy of the night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: you know absolutely. You know that as the performer too,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: You're like, you keep the energy where it needs to be.

  Speaker 3: Very I'm so excited.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very exciting. I love it. I'll be on
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the one on the Long Island for sure.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Did music start for both of you at a young age?
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Your love for music? Yeah, sing it.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, same yeah, same for me, it was you know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: I was born in the late eighties, so freestyle music
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: was just born at that point.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: We're coming off the heels of disco.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: My parents were only in their late twenties, early thirties,
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: so oldies music wasn't old. Yeah, I like twenty twenty
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: five years old at that point. So Sunday, while mom's
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: rolling meat balls, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: to hear sixties and seventies songs.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Ye, disco songs freestyle records. So I grew up.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Grandma gets me this thing called the karaoke machine, and
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: she says, I know, right, yeah, so many like similarities
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: in an Italian household.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: You know, she says, I want you to start singing. None.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: He wants you to know Frank Sinatra, Tony Mark, Tony Bennett,
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Y Martin.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: So those were all the things.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: So my vocal coaches were Frankie Valley in the Four Seasons,
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Jay Black and the Americans, all that stuff. I went
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: in my bedroom when kids in the neighborhood was outside
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: shooting hoops and making ramps with their bikes. I was
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: putting on a concert, pretending I was in a venue
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: like a P and C or a Madison Square garden,
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: seeing myself in front of thousands of people singing, not
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: realzing that like twenty five thirty years later, I'd be doing.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: That right, you know, right, So it's cool. So that's
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: It was always for full circle. For you, it did,
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: That's all I did. I know, the same for you.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: You know, her mom is a talented singer.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Her aunt, Oh really, okay, so it's in your family.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Her aunt was one of the original vocalists and she yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: really yeah, female singer.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I love when I hear someone like the family business.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Because when I say what I do and I say,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: oh my god, I'm a theatrical comedian and I sing.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: My mother and father go we don't know where.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: She goes, I don't do that, Like my father's a
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: a a body mechanic. And my mother was like, I
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: don't go near people. So it was like, you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: my mother was home cooking and want to talk to people.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Love when I hear And that was the thing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: My parents never forced it. My mother always was like,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: do whatever you want to.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: She loves all the success I have.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: But she's the one like when I'm in the audience,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: when I'm on the stage performing, like when I do
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: P and C once a year, big oldie show.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: There where is she.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: She's not up front at all and they give us
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: a whole reserved section for family and friends. She's got
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: very you my mother parameters, she's got parameters.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: She goes, I don't want to be on top of people.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: You think Jed's got the heavy accent, You got to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: hear hands, You gotta hear hands. She goes, I don't
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: want to be on.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Top of heavy.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want to speak this up
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: in my face.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: She goes, I don't want to hear your things blast,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: and she goes, I want to sit in the.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Back, and I want to watch. But if this is
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: a check it, this is where it's funny.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Now I'll be on stage and no matter how many
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: thousands of people in the audience, my eyes will find
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: her when I'm scanning the audience, and she don't have
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: to say it.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: She looks at me and she goes like this.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: So she's got a sense of cure.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: Whereas my father's backstage shaking hands with all the autists.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: We call them Colonel Tom.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I love that. I want to meet your mom.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's quite the character.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: My mother's sort of the same way, but she hides
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: in the back. My mom, whenever I'm performing, you don't
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: even know she's my mother. She's just in the bath
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: like this, waiting till it's over. But like to what
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: you all said, didn't push.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: To say do it? Do it? You don't need to
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: go to this dance competition. Let's stay home.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: You don't need to do that theater production and we
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: my sister and I were like, let's do it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Was healthier when a parent doesn't push.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: But some parents sometimes just know that their kids are
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: gonna like maybe. My grandma always said to my mother,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: you're never gonna have to worry about her. She's always
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: gonna that one's gonna go, she's gonna find towaii and
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: she's yeah, she always said that about me, like they knew,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: they know who's gonna do what.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Isn't that funny?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Isn't that funny that they yeah? But my grandmother, it's
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: so funny because my grandmother and my mother would pull opposite.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: My mother was the more Italian one that was home
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: with the five kids, sure, and was black till the
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: day she died, because my father died, you know. And
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: my grandmother was this fashion designer at one kid right,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and we had this conversation and generation it was crazy,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: like it was just revol reversed.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: You became more like her.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. She always said, make your own money,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: make your own money, and listen. They were married for
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: seventy one years. My grandfather and my grandmother, they were
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: so the cutest things.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: They still so make your money, have your own separate account.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. She always said that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: My mother said it, and I'm single at the moment
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: my mother said, she goes any broad she calls him tomatoes,
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Jenny Tomatoes. Come along with all this success she got,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: She goes, I'm not going to be that.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Mother in law. You know, I'm literally got to talk
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: like her. She goes, I'm not going to be that
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: mother in law. I don't care. I'm not going to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: meddle in.

• 23:26
  Speaker 6: my life has to go through.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: With my mother, Maria Bernudo.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I got a whole, like slim, whole
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: gamut of people, like you.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Know, it's like you gotta go through the right the lineage.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Before you get through.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Then she's then there's like six girls in the church
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: that like take care of me, my my, you know,
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: they they're like my my church girls.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: The church the hardest.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds like a poor movie, Me and my church.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: So did you know? Raina wrote a song that Donna
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Summer was supposed to sing.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Really tell me things?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, are you serious? I co wrote it with her niece,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and she said, church girls in porn.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I had to change the.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Pivot. Pivot.
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: It's very exciting, strange pivot, but okay, I'll take it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: So I co wrote it with her niece, and while
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: we were recording in Connecticut, she was on the phone
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: listening like after each verse, like I was dying wow.
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: And I was supposed to keep my composure.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, which is so hard.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: Way sure, Donna Summits on the phone record and it
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: got to the bridge part and she's like tell her
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: she needs to go higher, like and I'm like, Donna
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: Summers says it you do it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: But how cool is that that she could recognize that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: ability in her voice?
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I know, I can tell the artist was holding back
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit and told just go for it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: I grew up listening to her music, so her like,
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: not her vocal range.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, we all have our own abilities and agility
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: with our voices, but but.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: It's where she was like my bass.
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I mean, Like it was the
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: first thing that hit my ear that was that was pleasing.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: And she probably could hear in your voice the range reaching.
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: Yes and and she can just tell that she needs
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: to do this. And I was just like, did you
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: do it on the spot when we were recording, I,
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: you know, I worked out what we needed to do
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: and I didn't. And then she heard and she was
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: like yep, and then that.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: That was it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: The name of the song is called anything for Love.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: It's a beautiful song and you can hear it definitely, it's.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: All over her.
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: Everyone keeps asking me to do like every time it
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: goes somewhere, and I only ever do it at like
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: weddings because like one of those types of songs.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: But and you know, it's not like you remember when
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Donna Summer is saying I will go with you the
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Andrea Ja, the same producer remixer did the remix on
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: on her song that literally in the middle of the song,
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: she holds this one note that modulates up, which was
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: the note that donnasau.

  Speaker 2: But I'm like, it's not that serious, boom man.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: But I would think it's hard to have to constantly
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: stay on and try to create content. Me I'll go
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: sing a song and that video blows up on the internet.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: It's better, you know, and it's like, you know, that's
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: it's organic. And I'm not taking away from anybody. Everybody's
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: got talent, you way. Yeah, I'm just not gonna do
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: certain things for click shares, likes clabs, like I'm gonna
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: do stuff that's on brand with.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Me and something that's that's gonna matters.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: But I give credits everybody that's working working hard.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Right now, it's a game like call of a game,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: but it's a game. And then it's the game of performance.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: And I will say Italians are very They're out there
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: right now. They're representing that.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: It's cool.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: People don't they don't, they don't. Everybody does not support
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: each other. And that's what bothers me and I don't
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: know what it is.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: It's it's actually funny. It's the Italian stereo, right, but
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: it's not Italian friends. Nobody knows the business. Everybody, stay
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: where are you at?
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I literally perform all over the country and what makes
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: me laugh is every now and then I'll get an
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Italian that's like, what are you doing?
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: You?
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Why you?
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Why are you performing?
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: You should be home having children, support.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: The Italians on the fine who just performed for all
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: you people and give you a good show.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: Do you know the only people that ever want free
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: merchant any of my performances off the boat Italian?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: What do you give it?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Can you give singing lessons?
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: I literally performed in Boston a month ago. One woman said,
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: twenty dollars for a CD was too much. Twenty dollars
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: for CD, She goes, I'm from the old school. I said, so,
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: then you should know twenty dollars.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: It's not a lot of my back when it costs
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: a lot to make the CD. For me to be told,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: it's a lot.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: That's very funny. What is the Italians very much like that?
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Every now and then I get one.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: There we go. It's crazy. But I people, it's not
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: that serious. And you know what, you gotta be nice
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: to the people on your way up because you're surely
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: gonna see them on your way down. And that's what
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: my grandma.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Always that's my theory about working with the kids here
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: at the radio Stame.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: And there's gonna be a season for everybody too, because
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: especially with social media, there's gonna be there's twenty there's
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: a million people behind you that are coming up and
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be the flavor of the month and there's
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: gonna be someone else coming up behind you.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: So I just don't.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I don't, you know. It's to me, I laugh because
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like I would say, I'm adjacent Italian adjacent to
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: everything right now with what I do, because I do
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: do videos and I do some like stuff like that.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, dude, man, it's not that serious. Man,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: it's got it's like chill.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: You know, it should be enjoyable. If you're not.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Enjoying, it should be like I do, I do stuff
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: to tell them.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: At my mom, I find those are the videos that
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: perform the best.
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: But it's just organic because she's doing something in the kitchen,
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: I whip my phone out.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: And she's like, oh this and that it's gold.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: You know, it's great.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: Or if I go see like a show that's on
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: brand with what I do, like the Justin Time Bobby
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: Darren music, or if I'm performing somewhere and I'm like,
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: come behind the scenes with me, or if it's something
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: with beat stock coming up. You know, I like to
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: create stuff that's very center around what I do, so
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: it stays on brand.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: It's authentic and it's real.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say it's authentic to you. Listen, we've
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: all been in this business a long time. How many
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: people have come along the way. Managers agents have been
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: like you need to go down this lane, or you
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: need to do this, you need to sound like this,
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: and you're like, that's not me, that's not me.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I can try that, but wait a minute, it's going
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: to feel pushed, forced and.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: Unnaturally, I'm gonna feel icky. Right, So, yeah, you're staying
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: lane and you know your land.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: It feels good. When it feels good and it feels authentically,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: then no one can out beeat you.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Because it's easy.
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: And it's funny because I mentioned off in so many
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: directions in my twenties, Oh will did. But I went
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: back to what grandma told me with the karaoke machine,
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: and my mother said, why don't you sing all these music?
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: That's where it blew up. But that's I'm playing all
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: these music on the radio here. It's syndicated beautiful.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's amazing, and I almost hope kids are kids, kids.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Are listening to that.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: They are, yea, they are a lot of my students.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: They like I mean, I've blasted him the house with
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: my son, my two year old. I'm like, yeah, man,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: we want you to listen.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: To its very cool.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: Jersey Boys made Frankie Valley in the Four Seasons relevant.
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: The Beach Boys will Never go Away, you know, just
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: in time on Broadways bringing Connie Francis.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Back to the forefront. Pretty little baby, blown up Elvis.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: So it's great, introduced it to the whole generation. Think
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: about that, even like the movies like they do like Queen,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Like my kids love Queen now because I mean I
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: always listen to what I always listen, but they love
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: it ever since the movie came out.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: With what what you know?
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: What a great and the movie and oh my god,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: what a great movie. Man. Nobody could have played that
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: but A Jackson. I'm sorry.
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: And let me tell you something. His brothers that are
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: currently touring, they're the nice guys. I've worked with them
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: now three times, done shows with them, and they're just
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: like when I first did the Molschop Cruise, which I
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: did that they were on back last fall, they had
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: said this movie was coming out and everybody was.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's a movie, It's the movies.
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: How they cried when they described how their nephew brought
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: their brother back to them. Huge and you didn't really
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: quite understand where they were coming from when they were
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: talking about it.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: And this was like a private dinner I got to
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: have with them.
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: This conversation happened, and then six months later I see
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: the movie and I got choked up in the movie
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: theater and then got to see them.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: They came to Staten Island.
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: They did a show with Saint George Theater, and I
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: got to be with them, and they remembered that a
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: conversation and I said to them. I said to Jackie,
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: I said, I remember how emotional you got on that
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: boat when we talked about it at dinner, I says,
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: and now I could feel your emotion when I watched it.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I saw the movie four times. That's how it was incredible.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: And he embodied his own goal. And nobody nobody moves
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: like a Jackson. That's it. You had to be You
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: can mimic it, but nobody's gonna move like a Jackson.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: And Jackson had to play play play at Jackson. I mean,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: there was no way he embodied him. He looked like him.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: I remember when I got Thriller when I was thirteen.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: When I was thirteen, I remember buying, buying that album
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: for the first time when I was in eighth grade,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: and I and when I when he did the Thriller,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: when he did the Thriller, and I remember in that time,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: we didn't have MTV. We had Friday night videos. Okay,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: this is when just MTV was coming out, so you'd
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: have to wait till Friday night for the videos to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: go out, and you would call home Friday night and
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: watch the new videos coming out. And at that time,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: they were not putting the Jackson's on put on MTV
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: because the kid, well that's when that's when m TV
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: just came out. Then they weren't only putting like you know,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: like all like rock bands and Queen was on. I
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: mean that was like things, but not not yet Michael
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Jackson yet. And when that when that video came.
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: Out, it was like Holy ship because he didn't just
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: want to do a music vide to make it.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: He wanted a mini film and experience.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: He wanted experience Tara.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: They got into price involved and you.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Know the guy he did, he did he did will
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: with that was his and he loved that movie. Michael Jackson.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: So it was like, that was amazing that I was.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I cried through the whole movie like an idiot. I
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I'm telling my kids, my
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: mom looks like a movie did.
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: I'm like, but our world has done away from appreciating
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: the artistry. More of the reviews online where people wanted
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: to see the dirt, they wanted to see the scandal.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: They wanted to see all the stuff that's coming.

  Speaker 6: part coming, his brother's.

  Speaker 2: Verified, they couldn't put his whole life.
