• 1:13
  Speaker 4: You're awesome. You're awesome. And you're funny. So are you.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I love you. So tell us, Sal, how did this
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: all get started for you?
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: So I actually got really my start in the music
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: industry when I was like 20 years old. My band
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: signed to Def Jam Records.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Yes. And we had.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Rap?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: We were a rock band. I love that. I had
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: a huge mohawk. Yeah, look it up.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: And our very first song that we had had Ludacris
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: on it. It actually went number one in America.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we went, you know, and over the years had
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: multiple songs in the top 40, multi-platinum, you know, by
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: this time now. And I'm still involved in the music industry,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: but like a couple of months ago, I posted just
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: a stupid video, maybe in April on Instagram and it
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: just went viral.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Everybody loved that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, that's, that's strange. It was
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: just me talking about like my Italian, like I'm first
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: generation Italian. So I was just talking about some of
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: these things. Just speak.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: My sisters both speak fluently, but they're nine and 11
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: years older than me.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: By the time I came around.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: They weren't talking.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: My dad would speak to me in like a hybrid
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: of English and like my Latin, which is the town
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: in Calabria he'd come from.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So. Oh, you're Calabrese?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Calabrese.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: So, but I won't, I won't actually get more fluent,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: you know, I've lost a lot of it over the years.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Cause you know, my parents want us to assimilate after,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: you know? Well, So then here we are. And now
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: this is going on. It's very strange because it's just
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: like this whole social media thing is crazy. But it's
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: just moving. So I'm just rolling with it, you know.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And it's different for you because you are like on
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: one in like this other genre. And now here you are.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Embracing.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: But I could see you being like I could totally
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: see you being on a rock band. Like now I'm
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: looking at you with like thinking of you with the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: long hair.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I could see it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: But, you know, that was me, too. I was a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: total rocker, too, when I was young.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: But I also hung out with the Guidos.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: But I was.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I was into the hair bands. My hair was like,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I had my hair done up like Nikki Sixx.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Like Howl Crew, Twisted Sister.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll show you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw the picture of me
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: up there with all my fan posters. That was me
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: at 15.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I played guitar for Poison. I love that. When
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: they were actually, they were on tour with Motley Crue.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: And Michael called me out to come play one night
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: with them. And I didn't even get a chance to rehearse.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: He just called me and I went out with my
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: wife and we just, I had no sound check or anything.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: He's like, oh, don't worry, brother. I know you're going
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: to kill it. Just come on stage and do your thing.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: So yeah, he's super cool.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: That's amazing. That's amazing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And you still, are you still wanting to still do
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that too?
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm still, I'm still in music. I'm actually getting,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I'm in the studio right now. And I kind of like,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: both of these things are kind of happening at the
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: same time. So I'm kind of just juggling the social
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: media thing and working on an album right now. And yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: so it's been fun.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And so your rock is like your main genre.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but, Rock is my main thing that I.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You have to freestyle if you're Italian.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I love all music. Exactly.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: But it's funny. I grew up the same way. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: was listening to rock music, but I hung around. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: lived in an Italian neighborhood.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: So everybody listened to TKA as they were listening to that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Now, you grew up in Canada or you grew up
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: in Florida?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: No, I grew up in Toronto and I moved to Florida.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of Italians in Toronto.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It's a big base up there. You guys have a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: nice feast up there too.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we do. It's gone smaller over the years. All
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: of them have gone smaller.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It's sad. It's sad. And it's gone more spread out.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Like when I was a kid, my whole neighborhood was
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: an Italian neighborhood. Right. And, you know, more people are
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: moving in and things are spreading out. And I don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: know if it's the same here, but like I'm noticing
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: back home a lot, like everyone's kind of like, It's
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: not as condensed and it's not as vibrant as it
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: once was. And that's part of the reason why I
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: started doing this. Because I was like, I want to
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: bring the community nationally together.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Which is cool.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Well, we have the Italian American Civil Rights League that
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: you should join. You should start a chapter by you
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: in Florida.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: You know, I messaged Mike and I told him, Mike Crispy,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: I told him I'm going to actually meet him today.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Shout out to Mike Crispy, everybody.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Really good guy. He's going to be there today. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: think I said John.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go say hello to him for sure.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can do that because that would be great.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: That would be awesome. I'd be totally down with that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And we need to do this. You know, it's, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we can't lose our heritage because we're such, it was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: so important to the, the, the growth of the United States.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, it's like, The whole thing happened with
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Little Italy and that they forgot us on the fight
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: for map.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And it was this whole thing. And everybody's like, oh.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm commenting. Listen, I don't like to talk politics.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I have my own views. I don't like to really
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: go into my politics on social media because... It's just,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you just don't want to.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: But don't mess with the Italians.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But don't mess, listen, don't mess. And they're like, oh,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you should forgive.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not forgiving somebody who deliberately forgot us on purpose.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: How do you forget?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And then it's nerve to say that we're the problem.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: We've been the problem in New York.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: No. Really?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: No, listen, the Italians helped build New York City. That's right.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: They helped build the city. And honestly, it's like one
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of the, honestly, one of the most hardest working, one
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of the most hard working cities. Some of the hardest
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: working people ever. Yes. It's been proven. It's literally been shown.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: It's been proven.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: It's everything. We built the subways, damn it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Like, you know. I know. And we came here. We
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: didn't ask for handouts, you know. And we didn't ask for.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: We did it. Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Listen, every person who came over from the other side
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: got it. You had to make your bones here and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: that's just the way it is. But we weren't mad
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: that we had to do it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: We had to.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Actually, there was a deep sense of pride. Yes.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: So when my family came over from Calabria, they had nothing.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: They had nothing. And my parents, even my grandfather, my parents,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: they're just like, don't take anything from nobody. Make your
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: own bones, work hard, make something of yourself. That's who
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: we are. We have pride in what we do. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: it's kind of like to exclude.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: us.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It's like, bro, what are you doing?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: No, I wasn't right.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: And, you know, it's just, I think that bringing us
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: all together, I like that idea. Nationally, we should, because we're,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: we have a big population in.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: The United States. Yes, we do.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: And you know, one thing I was like, I think
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: we're 18% in the United States.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's big. That's big. One thing I was saying, like,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: I actually posted a video about this the other day,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: was this, like, it's, in a way, like I've also
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: felt too, like even there's a lot of Italian and
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Italian hate on each other. It's like, yes. Whereas it's like,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: if you start to become successful at something, there's like
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: a lot of jealousy. And I don't like that. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: don't like that either. I don't like that. So that's
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the whole thing. I was just like, why I was
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: so excited to connect with you guys and other people
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: around the country is because it's like, like if we're
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: going to be the voice for that culture, It's just like,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I want to have like unity and just bring everybody together.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: You know? And that's how we keep this thing alive.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: But that's true. And there are, there are people in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: our Joe and Ron.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Who are jealous.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Who are jealous. And they want to get ahead and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: they don't want to see other people get ahead. Which is, listen,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: there's room for everybody.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: There's room for everybody.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And what's the big deal? Like, you know, you don't
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: have to corner, you know, you know, whatever. And it's fine.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: There's everybody has, has their own shtick. And that's just
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: what it is. And we can all advance together and
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: help one another.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: That's the best way to do it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Right. And it's so much more fun that way. Yes.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Cause it's like, you know, I love it. I love
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: like when everybody's like together and we're all at an
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: event together and it's like, just, it's a great time.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It's so much fun.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: A hundred percent.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You know, right.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, we all have a commonality. So it's like, we,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: we're all, we're all Italian. And like, nobody knows how
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: to be Italian.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: But Italians.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You know, and that's it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: And everybody wants to be Italian.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Everybody wants to be Italian. Even if they say they don't,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: they joke.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: That's so true. They're lying.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: They're lying.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: So true.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: It's funny.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Somebody messaged me on my Instagram the other day. And
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: he's just like, take your Italian culture and shove it
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: up your ass. Say that to my face, mofo. But
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I was like, so you're not eating pizza?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: You never had a slice of pizza. Yeah, exactly.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Right, you're not having tomato sauce.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: You're not having a cannoli liquid.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: What's that word? Don't appropriate on my culture. That's another thing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: You know, everybody says that about this appropriation stuff.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: More people appropriate on our culture than anybody in any
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: other culture.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: And I take that as a sign of I respect
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the people that are doing that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's great. You know, some things are a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: little weird. Like, you know, like I saw somebody like in,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you know, it was, I think it was like, I
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: don't know if it was a Haitian restaurant. They had
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: their own four pizza. I'm like, I don't got a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: problem with it. Like, that's great. Like, you want to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: try it? You want to have it? You know, go ahead.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You want to put pineapples or some shit on it?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Would I put that? You want to put some gold?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It's fine. We don't got a problem with it. I'm
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: okay with it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying, oh, don't you touch it and appropriate
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: my Italian.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: But that's us.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: You know, another thing that I love about what like our,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: like our culture and our people do, we kind of
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: own our stereotype.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, we do. And embrace it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Embrace it and it loses the power. So it's like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: you can call me whatever you want. It doesn't hurt me.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: We've embraced it. And we laugh at it. And we
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: laugh at it. And that's something that I kind of
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: love about.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: We don't get angry over it and like, oh, you're being...
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: This way. No, it's okay. I don't like when people
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: do think that we're stupid. And when people come up
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to us.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Yes.

• 21:05
  Speaker 5: be something like out of like an eight year old
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: watch would be something like, you know, like, would it
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: be like Simpsons family guy, like, like around that, that, that, that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: We'd have to probably do that type of. Oh, I'm
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: all for it. We probably, maybe it would be like
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: PG-13 or maybe a little.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: But maybe not like a seven-year-old. Maybe some videos that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: could watch it. We don't know. We have to figure
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: that out. But I would probably say not that.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I would say probably not two young childs.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Like, you know. A little bit older.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: So let me, so are you, um, have you toured, oh,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: this is so interesting, the band thing.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: What was the last band you toured with, you said?
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Uh, what was the last one I toured with? I
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: don't remember what the last, it's been a couple years
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: since COVID, really, that I've been more active working in
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: the studio.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Um, but some of the big ones that I toured
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: a lot with Nickelback.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Um, for a long time, I toured a lot with
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: the band Stone Temple Pilots. Oh, wow. Um, did a
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: lot of, A lot of that stuff. And a lot
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: of people within Rock I've played with.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: What do they think about your videos? Do a lot
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: of them comment?
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of them comment. But you know, the
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: whole thing is actually how this kind of really started.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: My buddy Lucas Rossi, I don't know if you've ever
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: heard of him, but Tommy Lee, Jason Newset from Metallica,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: and Gilby Clark from Guns N' Roses, had this show.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: It was called Rockstar Supernova and it was like an
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: American Idol show. It was a big show in America.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, you were there?
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, actually I do.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: So the winner of that show, Lucas Rossi, is from Toronto.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: He's Italian. He's 10 years older than me and I
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: remember I was obsessed with that show.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: And him being from Toronto, he ended up winning the
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: show and ended up joining that super group touring the
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: world with those guys.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: And I just knew I was going to connect with
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: him in the future someday.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Someday, somehow.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: I just knew. I was like a teenager, but I
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: knew one day. Fast forward like a year and a
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: half ago, I hear that Lucas moved in my area.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: And I shot him a message. At this point, he
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: knew who I was because I've had some success in
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the music industry. So now we knew of each other,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: but not, you know. So I texted him. I'm just like,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Hey buddy, like, are you like, are you in my area?
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: He's like, yeah. So we started working. So we've been
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: working on a record together. Oh my God.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: That's so amazing.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: But the cool thing with Lucas, he's also first generation
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Italian from Toronto. So in the studio, like half the
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: day is us just, just laughing about our, our parents,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean? And just shooting the shit
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: about Italian stuff. And, And through all of his stories
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: and my stories, I started posting some of this stuff.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: And that's where it really started, really. It's kind of
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: inspired me when I was hanging out with Lucas. That's
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: so funny.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I love that. See, you always wind up finding your own.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: You do, right? You always gravitate to it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to put it out there. And then, like,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: it's like you just, especially this day and age, I just, like,
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: I'm so adamant on, like, my time is the most
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: important thing. I don't want to spend it with people
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I don't like.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: I'm just not. Me too. You know? If I like you,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: you're in my world and I'm ride or die for you.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: But if you're not, I don't have the time, you know?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: So I just want to be around people that I like,
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: you know? And honestly, everybody I've met in the last
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: couple days here has been amazing. Like the best salt
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: of the earth. Like what you think about, what you
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: want New York to be is what you guys are.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I was telling my wife that today. I was just like,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: you hear all this shit about New York and all
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: this crazy stuff. And maybe a lot of it is true,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: but you guys are holding down what people really want
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: New York to stay in peace. And it should be.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: It should be. I respect that. I love that. Thank you.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: That's very nice of you. Thank you.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I genuinely mean that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: You're a dynamite. Like I said, the minute I watched
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: your videos and we connected, I was like, I love
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: this kid. I hate to call you a kid, but
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you're old enough. You could be my son. Well, Mom,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he's the best, you know? Tony just tells everybody that
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: me and Michael Lewis are his parents. I love that.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: It's so funny.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: And then people go, like, to Michael, like, Mike. It's funny.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: He tells people that we had him on a one-night stand.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So that makes me a slut. I don't like that. No, no, no.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I don't like that backstory. No, no, no. It's getting around.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Like, when I freaking get pregnant in the back of
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: an IROC with fucking a caddy.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Like, a filly with brome or some shit.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Like, with fucking, with, like, you know, like, Lisa Lisa
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: in the background or something.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't like that backstory, but it's all right.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Well, I was going to say, well, I could change
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: the backstory. I don't know about that.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: It's kind of, that's already out there now. So that
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: was the story. It's there. It's there.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: But anyway, but anyway. No, but I was going to say, no,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: but I got to say, it's been, no, but Jen,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: you've been phenomenal. You know, you've been absolutely phenomenal. Best mom. No,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: she really is. And it's funny because people, people do
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: ask me like, Oh, wait, what's she on? Like, she's
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: exactly like how she is in her videos. She's the
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: nicest person ever. And I would say she's like second
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: mother to me because she really, really.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Everybody here, man. I noticed even saying, like, I met,
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: went to Will DeMille's party the other night. What a gentleman. Like,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: so he's genuinely nice person.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: We're going to get you on Graves there.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd love to, actually. I love all those guys.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: And Michael, I love Michael, too.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Michael's the best. We've got a new one coming in.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: All right. The next one, we're going to do all
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: four of us. We're going to do a second one. Look,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: we're talking. Sorry, guys. We can't help, but we're Italian, right?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: But I love Michael. Michael, I was like, what a
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: gentleman you know he's always dressed amazing he is he's a.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Funeral director he's got.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: I know but he told me at the gravesend thing
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: he was just like yeah come down he's like it's
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: gonna be casual I'm gonna be in sweatpants and he
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: still I show up and he still looks better than
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: me it's.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny?
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Michael looks uncomfortable when he's wearing street clothes, like wearing jeans.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: He looks more comfortable when he's wearing a suit.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: It's so funny. It's just the way, you know, it is.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Because that's what he's used to. He's a gentleman. He
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: is a definition of a dying breed.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Yes. A dying breed of men. Yes.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: That's just the whole world right now.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: And honestly, that's a huge reason, like, I don't know.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: It really it really bothers me actually just seeing like
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: we were talking about this the other night, like just
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: in general, like men are being like, oh, yeah, exactly.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Like I look at my dad. My dad's like this tall.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: OK. And he's just always like a man.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: It was just like, you know, he was serious. He
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: could not F with them. Yeah. You knew he was
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: going to take care of the family. It didn't matter
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: what was going on. We knew my dad would figure
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: out and just make... He was a rock. Yeah, he
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: was a rock. And now it's kind of like... I
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: don't know. I don't see that in young people now. Dudes,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: you can't even look at them in the eye. No.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: They don't want to.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: It's strange.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It is strange. And I blame that on the feminists.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I really do. These women want to be, you want
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: to do this. A man should be a man. And
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: as strong as I am, I still want to be treated.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I think somebody opening the door for me is a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: sign of respect.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's something to make it like I'm
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a feeble woman. No, open the door for me.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Help me out of a car because that's respectful to
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: do that for a woman.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: My dad opened the door for a lady in Toronto
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: and she yelled at him. Oh, that's a stupid woman.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Isn't that, how stupid?
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: That's insane. Open the door for me. And if you
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: expect that I'd open the door for you, well, that's
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: what men do. Then you should open the door for
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: a man then if that's what you want to be.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Like, little boys need to learn from men how to
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: be men.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: And little girls need to learn how to be girls,
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: women from their mothers. You know what I mean? It's important.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: And I find now, like, there's actually a lot of
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: men that I know, they're not even involved so much
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: in their kid's life. And, and yeah, a woman can
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: raise a boy, of course.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: But to raise a man, you need a, you need
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: a man needs to be there and show them the way.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: You know? And I think that's super important. So I
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: don't know, to me that, that worries me for the
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: future of the world. I have, I've had two daughters
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: now and I'm just like, who the hell is going
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: to be around?
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, I have three. So I know it's, it's,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it's scary.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, they're lazy. They don't want to work for anything.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: They're entitled, entitled. They don't want to work.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: They, want to be taken care of. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. I'm like, a guy, like, I was, so
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know who thought I was telling me this.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: They went out to dinner, and it was like the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: guy expected her to pay half the bill.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: No.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, in my day, if a woman could never,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and now it's still the same thing, but now I
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: stay with, would never let me put my hands in
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: my pocket. Never.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: No.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Never, ever. And it's like, but it's chivalry. That's chivalry.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: That's the way it should be.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: You're a gentleman. Right.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: You're a gentleman. You know, you guys, you, my friend
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: over there too, I mean, you guys are younger, but
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: thank God you have those values, you know, and you
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: do see it. It's still alive, but it's got a,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: it's got to move forward. It's got to be, like,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: it's got to change back because this is crazy. I mean,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: how are these people.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Going to run the world?
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: That's what scares me.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: That is what scares me. That's what really scares me.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: That's what's frightening, you know, to me. And I'm like,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you know what? Thank God my generation is still healthy enough. Like,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: people in their 50s and 60s could still try to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: correct yeah this and hopefully correct it in the next
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: 10 15 years so that when i am retired i'm
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: not worried that you know this is it's crazy it's
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: crazy how it affects everything.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah it's insane like any time like we've had other
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: like multiple different businesses and it's i even find it
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: impossible to hire anybody oh my god because you just
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: can't i don't like everybody's Not every... I don't want
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: to say everybody, but I have not had luck finding
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: enough people who are like... They don't want to work? Yeah.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: They're not.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: They don't. They want.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Like, everybody wants money, but nobody wants to do anything.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: No, they're entitled. They expect to just get it for
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: showing up. No, you're... You know what? But I did this,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: but I went to work to... Yeah, that's your paycheck. Yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: That's your, that's your thing for what you did.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: You want to get a girl, get above and beyond.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: They want to be like, like, they want to be
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: like pat on the back because they did their job. Well,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you get a paycheck for what you did because you
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: did your job. If you go above and beyond, then
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: somebody will say, wow, that's a great deal. And yeah,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you know, And give you props for it. But somebody's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: not going to be like, oh, thank you for doing
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: your job. Yeah. They're paying you to do.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Crazy.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just the mentality is just, I can't.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: And it's crazy.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what to say. It's got to change.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: And hopefully it will. Usually when the pendulum goes too
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: far one way, it usually swings.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Back the other way.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that happens, but we need people like you
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: guys from your generation. You've got to pay it forward
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: and get it out there. Do videos about it. You should.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: You should get it out there because it's just... Men
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: have to feel like they're men. Jordan Peters. I don't
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: know if you know Jordan Peters.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's from Toronto.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I love him.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: And he does all this and he gives young men
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: a platform to make them feel like Men.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Because he says that. He started this like six or
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: seven years ago and he's saying that men are being...
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: And he's a psychologist. It's not like he's saying this
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: for Adam's ass that it's not true.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And it's true. Women who marry weak men are miserable.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Are fucking miserable.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: And do you guys notice this? Anytime somebody talks shit

  Speaker 4: you know, I touch her. So....
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: That's good. So you have a healthy marriage.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Or, you know, it's like my son, I'm not,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: you know, not being overly inappropriate, but my son's seeing,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: you know, just like daddy's like, you know, wants mommy
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: or whatever. And, uh, this was, uh, before we started homeschooling,
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: this is last year. My, my daughter had like a
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: parent teacher interview and she's like, daddy, please don't be
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: too sexy.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: At school.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I will. I will.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: That's freaking hilarious. I love that. I love that. I
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: love that.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: I love it too.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: No, but that's good.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: But it's good to show your kids that you love
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: each other. That's the best thing to do for kids
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: is for parents to love each other.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: That's the best thing to do.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: And it is true. And people get married today. And
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: if it's like, oh, well, it's just not working out
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: for me. And they want to get divorced because they
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: want to be happy every minute.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: That's not going to happen.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: That's in the movies.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: That doesn't happen in real life.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: You got to work towards anything.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: If you want anything in life to be great, you
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: have to work towards it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: And usually that's what the great about it is because
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: it's so hard.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: You know, and that's when you get such satisfaction when
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: you do work for it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like nothing is going to be, you know.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: you know, uh, the cherries and rainbows every day. It's just,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: just not that. And I think that's the other problem
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: with this generation.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Yes. But there's also a lot of people that like, I,
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: I find like now, like get married. I'm like, why
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: the hell did you guys get married?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Like you guys, like you should, you two should have
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: never gotten married.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: And, and they, and just even knowing it before they
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: got married, you could tell that they, it's just like,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: but people are just kind of in the motion of
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: doing it.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Because it's just, I think it's just that, I think
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: the idea of it is what people want to do
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: these days.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: They don't understand. They have to understand the work that
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: it puts involved in any relationship. Yeah. You know, it happens.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: You have to put the work in. And that's great
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: that you have such a great relationship with your wife. Well,
• 35:29
