Yeah, man. You know,
yeah, I didn't mean it to be because like the first one I shot
because, you know, not bragging,
but I was the first to do the YouTube thing.
Yeah. Very first special.
And then followed it up with
domesticated animal, but then I didn't plan on getting divorced. So this became the third,
but then I'm done with the trilogy. I'm just going back to observational shit. You guys
ever been on a plane? I forgot about the divorce. It's been so long. Let's catch up a little
bit. You're living living you're out in Vegas
Yeah, move there in 2020 and what do you got? You got a house? You got an apartment?
I bought a condo man cuz well prior to that cuz I was in LA forever and then bought a house in Ohio
Which huh? Why that's where she was from and plus I you know
I got a 4000 square foot home on an acre of land for like $400. 187 a month out the door, dude.
Wait, so that's where you were based for a little while.
How long were you guys married?
We were together almost 12 years,
but we were married maybe five.
And just shit went south.
But the cool part was we signed.
He's got such an Italian way of breezing over.
Shit went south, so I'm outta Yeah, you know, it was uncomfortable because I don't know.
Well, we were like separated in the same house.
We had to move out and live in the other room.
So I was like, fuck it, let it.
That's your master bedroom.
You were her. Who do you think?
Who do you think got the house?
Who do you think got the master bedroom?
She got the whole fucking place.
So you were in the guest room? I was yet down the hall. But what do you think got the master bedroom? She got the whole fucking place. So you were in the guest room.
I was down the hall.
But what do you put in there?
Was there like a king size bed?
Well, the thing that sucks, I'll show you the video.
The house is gorgeous.
He puts his posters up and shit.
That pisses me off.
No, for real. Yeah, I had my
Don Mattingly poster up.
Were you having broads over?
Those old 80s.
What was the bobblehead? No, the models to remember the ones that were the fat heads or whatever.
No, no, no. Talk about chicks.
Oh, like the centerfold.
You know, like what were their names?
They had all the Sandra Cotain.
They had all the hot models back then, the chicks from like Baywatch or whatever.
Sure.
Anyways, we, we, we, I ruined that.
No, so I was living in the other room and you know, I put a lot, cause when you buy
a house, I'm like, okay, we moved to Ohio.
Cause you know, you plan on having kids and I don't want to fucking raise a family on
like sunset in Doheny.
You know what I mean?
And uh, which we, you know, obviously we didn't add the kids,
but I just, you know, you do everything in the house.
You know what I mean?
You get it all set up.
Well, I was grounding the outlets,
putting the drywall up in the basement.
You were doing all that?
Well, yeah, and then my-
You got a body come over.
Well, I actually flew my friend in from South Philly.
Jesus Christ.
And then, I'm dead serious.
Like the wolf.
My boy Vinny from Ionelli's Bakery on Pass Young.
Shout out to Ionelli's Bakery on Pass Young Gav.
Great tomato pies and crab gravy.
You do go down to Pass Young Gav a bunch.
I see on your Instagram.
Shout out to Pass Young Gav.
I like the food there.
I have some friends down there.
I flew him out, doing the Thailand, everything's going great.
I'll show you the video at the house.
It was stunning. Then shit just went south.
And then I, so anyways, long story, born,
signed the divorce papers April 8th.
I mean, on the balls of my ass,
like 1200 in my account,
I'm 48 sleeping on my mother's couch.
And then-
Where was that at? Where's your mother at?
In Florida.
In Florida, you went down to Florida, gotcha.
I was in Florida for COVID,
you couldn't have been in a fucking bed.
They gave zero fucks. It was like spring break down.
Oh, yeah. They didn't give a shit. It was just you and mom during COVID.
Me and Carol hanging out.
And then I get a call from my agent that Cobra Kai got picked up by Netflix.
That's crazy. After that, I got a fucking nice check.
Took out an SBA and got the fuck out. Oh, SBA loan?
Yeah.
Wait, what?
What?
I did, I-
I got collateral now, dog.
I was such a guido.
Ma, if anybody calls, say Brent Earnt Industries, all right?
It's a late-tax distribution facility you got here.
Type on the computer what somebody calls.
Dude, and then I bought a car, you know?
What kind of car did you buy?
Cadillac.
Oh, dude, you are a Guido Durkac.
Wait, still living at your mom's?
Yeah, no, this is when I got the Vegas.
But anyways, long story.
What kind of caddy?
I got, well, right now I just got the 2025, the CT5.
How you doing?
Man, dude, Italians love a nice Cadillac.
Because I don't make the CT6 anymore.
I would have went up a model.
2025.
But I love how he feels he has to say,
I couldn't get the CT6.
It'll make it no more.
Oh, man.
Anyway, so bought the condo out there because the house,
you know, that was my point.
I'm not going to own a house again.
It's a lot of work.
Right.
I mean, let's say, you know, get married,
but I can't see that at this age.
And then. Always the optimist long how long were you guys separate?
How long were you in the house and you guys are separated like a month and a half? Okay. All right
Yeah, she was uncomfortable sure cooking and shifts. Yeah
You're waiting for noise to die down
You're eating in your room
You just feel the awkwardness in the house of a relationship dead.
Had you filmed the pilot for Cobra Kai at this point or no?
We were on season two.
Well, we were about to.
We were season two because we originally shot it for the YouTube Red.
Yes, it was like YouTube.
Yes, yes, yes.
Which they changed the name to YouTube Premium because everybody kept saying Red Tube.
Red Tube, which is a pornographic film
distribution service
And then so when Netflix picked it up then we you know
We because we never aired season 3 on YouTube it the season 3 went on Netflix and they shot three more
That's great. They would have kept going too, but the producer I mean, you know, they were like, alright, you know six seasons is good
That's great. How many more tournaments can we do?
How many more teenage kids can we have fighting battles for middle-aged men? That's wild man
You're at your mom's you got 1200 bucks on you the fucking show hits and you're out of there
You moved to Vegas get the caddy good night
Well, Kobe killed me too because all the income I have was you're a big road dog. Yeah, I love doing a road
Yeah, and then um but Florida stayed open,
so I was making a little scuttle doing one-nighters.
You know?
But you know, here's how I look at things, man.
Like I've always, you know, shit happens.
Sure.
You know what I mean?
Cause people get all upset about life.
She said it is what it is.
You just gotta fucking deal with it, you know? and then, but yeah, it just worked out.
Picked up a couple of residencies in Vegas

Yeah, that fucking first two months, you go twice.
Then you're like, fuck this.
What's the what's the clientele living there?
Is it younger people, older people, some older people, young?
I mean, I like quiet, man. Sure.
You know, like even when I lived in L.A., I was in a Gora Hill.
I'd rather drive and then to the to the shit and then leave.
God, when you're younger, you know, you love you love.
You want to be in the mix and how to neighbors?
People upstairs tend to be a little loud. Are you currently in a beat? That's a big thing
Are you in a beef with any neighbor at the moment knock on wood now, but I grew up in apartments. They don't want to fuck around
Seriously, I never had a house until I bought my first house. I grew up single mom, you know, three of us, one room, me and my two brothers.
And then, you know, but we know I know apartment politics and sure tricks,
you know, but he's fucking crazy.
I love it. No, you don't fuck around.
I know. No, for sure.
Dude, I got I used to love the job.
But you guys grew up in houses, right? Yeah.
Apartments were fun to be a kid in, man. We used to play in the elevator shaft in the shaft
Yeah, like what you do is you you emergency stop the elevators
Everybody did he's dropping on top of the elevator and fuck around at one time. What yeah
Don't say yeah, like that's what everybody you guys are's doing What if somebody got in the elevator and started going up?
No, you emergency stop it
Oh, okay
People were pissed
So one time I took
Nevermind
I found this like
I don't know what they use it for
It was like a cable rope but it was flexible
And it was yards of it
So what me and my little brother did is we tied the doors together
because they opened in and we pulled the fire alarm
so people couldn't get out.
By the way, that's a felony.
Yeah.
It was the 80s.
I had no idea.
I thought it was just funny.
Holy shit.
Are you shopping at the house?
Are you cooking a lot?
I always cook, yeah.
Always.
I can't bake, but I cook.
And I got a grill.
I like that.
Yeah, I like that.
What was the last meal you did?
About a week and a half ago, I did some...
I like the steaks on the grill.
And where's the grill at?
It's in...
I just roll it out of the garage.
And I built a studio in my garage.
Okay.
And then...
How many floors is the condo? Just single first floor.
It's one floor, but you got the garage.
I got two bedrooms.
What was dope about it is the garage is attached
to the condo and then my laundry room's here.
You walk in, office, master bedroom.
Then the other bedroom, I got two bathrooms.
Okay.
And then I did some Guido shit though.

In the patio so the patio is in the back with the head. Oh, it's love a babbling babbling fountain
So knows you have a little bit of a front yard. No, no front yard, but you know the it's got like cobble Road
You know like brick Road. Mm-hmm, and then so you're just so you push the grill into the driveway and you're grilling out there
Oh, yeah, cuz you you know, you're not supposed to do it in
Sure the other people do that are other people growing in the driveway
Yeah, you could just pull it out do it nice. Yeah, good grill. She's a gas grill the I wanted to get one of those

It's already all set up so they're just, I remember that in infomercials,
like, Cosucker, no one's got this shit like an hour is I was in Costco
They had him there and then the guy but they talk like all you got to do is you soak them 20 minutes

I was like this dude is gonna about to tell us on me. Should it be telling us well
I mean I'm very care
I know of course you know but like I when I go out like my wife would get mad at me
But she because I don't I would never wear flip-flops
I think you said that on the first one because you gotta be able to run yeah
I would never wear flip-flops. I think you said that in the first one,
because you gotta be able to run.
Yeah.
That's like a big thing with me.
But you know, it's crazy,
because other people think that's weird.
But you know, then there's groups of people like,
yeah, I don't wear flip-flops either.
God forbid, you know.
You wouldn't wear flip-flops to a restaurant.
No, fuck no.
Never.
How many suits do you have?
I just got four custom made. What the fuck?
Well, there's this place called Mastroianni's by me and yeah, I bought like four. You go in they do the measurements

Cuz I'm a down here. No, no, no
They never my waist size is smaller than my
They never my waist size is smaller than my
Like my my jacket is would be like a
45 44 long okay, but then the waist is like 36 to 38 Well, I'm at I got way like a 32 to 33. So you gotta get a man. So you got a way custom maids
Well, they they're you know, they're they didn't just how do I say they were already there but they you know
You got him Taylor. They taper on guy
Gotcha custom fitted. I believe that's that would be the turn. Yeah, and what's the shoe situation the dress shoe?
You like a nice dress shoe? Uh, yeah, you know Bergamo something like that
Um, I like bako buchis. I don't even know what that is
Ferragamo's and I had that one time was pretty good
Try with the clips, but you know man is so
He's so sharp, I know funny man, and who's cutting the hair
Yeah, always gotta get a good gay guy
Really? Yeah, and do the eyebrows too. I brought yeah. Yeah, they do them there you go to another place Another place another place and same thing with my nails when I get the manicures so you don't bite the nails
I do during football season
But uh normally, you know, I try to curb it but I get them buffed you don't do polish
What is the haircut cost you not much 40 45? What are you dropping?
What do you tip on it? you drop it? With the tip.
That's with tip?
With the tip?
No, wait.
You're a notoriously good tipper.
You're good with the cash.
I would say, I don't know, man.
I don't know.
I never really checked.
And then the eyebrows are like 10 bucks.
Yeah, the eyebrows are.
So you get them threaded or waxed?
Waxed.
I tried the threading, I can't do it.
Makes me sneeze
Because you know, you know what I mean like it makes your face tingle, huh?
And what's this regimen how is it? Is it a set schedule like every two weeks? You know nails done every two weeks you getting haircut every two weeks. It's the moment. Yeah
It's like I need I need to get it done, but I don't I don't I don't do it
I mean, there's still a little shine left, but not during football season. What about the toes you getting pedicure?
Yeah, you get them both done. Yeah, I got nice feet. So you're in there for the whole for the afternoon
You're in there for an hour times like the same lady if you go
Get the eyebrows are quick
Because I get them cleaned. I don't get them shaped and that stuff. I get them done every once in a while
You have to yeah, or they just start growing it to a fucking goatee. Yeah
I let them go
I let them go too long in between getting it done
And I did it like maybe like a month ago and everybody was like what the fuck's with Foley a little too real bad
Yeah, yeah, did you get mad at him?
He was from the future you're like what the fuck the rest is in shambles
But then the petty is a man. He's you know when you just look I said I need to get it done. Okay?
Art man, he's sharp. I mean listen again. This is all generational
I guess sure cuz I grew up you know the older Italian guys in my family
That's that's how they did of course you know all the old-school guys would get manicures all the time is the tank in the car
usually always full
At least at half but uh, you know sometimes
but I get my gas at Costco and
No shit. Well, here's the thing like Costco is cheaper, but then there's the inconvenience factor, right? Yeah get there
There's the line thing. You're like, I don't feel like fucking dealing with this now
So sometimes I'll let it go but you want to keep at least a half a tank and is the car backed in or is it?
Pulled into the driveway. I pull in I don't you pull in yeah garage or driveway
Garage get it in the garage. Yeah, I don't I don't back in I pictured you as a back-in guy
Nah fuck so you get the fuck out
Listen you can still run somebody over
Good in reverse Listen you can still run somebody over In reverse
What's where his head goes immediately well, I mean if you gotta get out you can still you can still run somebody over
They're gonna block you in you. I don't care if you're forward or back. I don't valet though. Why?
Cuz if I gotta get out, you know, I don't fucking wait. He's yeah, but uh
You know if I'm with a girl, yeah, yeah, but even then but I give her the keys if I park
The girl I'm with gets the keys in case there's a problem. She can get the fuck out.
Dude, I'm nuts with that. Really? Yeah, so you're going after even if it's a date if we're on it
Yeah, but I think you're worried about like you'll see some but something will happen where you're like I have to handle this
You gotta get out of safety get out of here
I'll stay here and fight these nine guys especially what with my wife because I would tell her if you sit there lingering
You're gonna get me killed I can get in and out and she's like we're just going
Starbuck if you're lingering you're gonna get me killed
Imagine the rundown of instructions these broads get before they go to a casino.
I know we're fast forwarding to it,
because you guys know me, this is why we're here.
Sure, exactly.
But there's a gradual process to get us here,
but we're just here now.
No, you're not wrong.
This is the razor's edge that you live on
between class and trash.
In my mind, in my crazy mind.
Only because of what you see when you're younger and when you're around.
Now you're worried about shit all the time. All the time. And then when we would go out,
I'll tell you a great story. So we were in Chicago one time and I used to go to this
place called Gillies. They had this loud singer, his name was Tony Ocean, I love the guy. But he was like, like you'd see on a, like he'd do Sinatra covers and stuff.
Yeah, is this 57, 58?
No, this is like 2000, when we first started dating, my ex, my ex-wife lived in Chicago.
And I would tell her, I would say, you know, look, let me sit here, and you know, she grew
up in Ohio, you know, normal chick, had a dad, you know.
So she just wasn't around stuff a dad, you know, so she just wasn't around stuff college, you know
Never had the heat coming around the corner
Saying and you know, I grew up in North Jersey at the time and even South Florida, you know
There was always something going on
So we're dancing. That's a great way to say your childhood not first for the people that might not have heard the first one or know
About you that much there was always something going on.
That way, that's a perfect way, like, there was always something going on with you.
Yeah, like, weird shit too, but, uh, anyways.
Like, there was a guy down the street that would, like, take you, like, I don't know if this was around here.
This guy would, like, take his dick out in front of kids.
But, you know, you just didn't go over there.
Yeah.
We had, we had a... In Philly, there was Uncle Eddie. He was a crazy rich guy. Mm-hmm, but you know you just didn't go over there. Yeah
In Philly there was uncle Eddie it was a crazy rich guy tell ask your buddy about he was a Philly legend He would just pay me like dirty underwear
No, it's just anything like hit you with like a hit him with like a nine iron or whatever
He gave you like 20 bucks
So all the kids all the kids hit all the kids in the neighborhood would use them as like an ATM machine
They'd be like how the fuck you get 200 bucks. I went down uncle Eddie's and you know fucking gave him some underwear. Take them in the nuts. That's amazing
Wait, so hold on. So you're wait, so we're Tony Ocean
Yeah, we're there and we used to go there a lot and we're dancing
Dancing how cuz you know they can dance, you know slow dancing with your girl cuz he would do like like crooner stuff like angle
Bert Humperdink, you know after the loving strong song by the way And then uh, so we're sitting there dancing and then I notice a fucking perimeter being set up two guys over here guy over here
So now I grab her she's like, what are you doing? I said shut the fuck up
Right, and I mean if they were moving in on this dude
And oh on another guy another guy and then it just shit just broke out mm-hmm and I just took her rolled out got out the exit you know and
then but that's why that's why if it that once and I mean it got it got pretty
pretty heavy but anyway that time yeah at that time is it was this a nice place
yeah it was just like you know know, you just notice you notice.
You notice how people are moving.
How guys walk in different or aggressively standing.
I don't know if you've ever seen a guy who's really staying.
Yeah, I've seen you stay.
No, you know, like the guys that that like, you notice they'll hold the bottle.
Like, I know. Oh, yeah. We're like this.
They're holding it, holding it, standing there.
Of course, you just see things
And it's not like I'm a tough guy. I just been I just seen a lot, you know, I sure
I can't tell you every time I
Couldn't tell me if I always said I could tell me fights. I've been in my life, but I got like 19 strong losses

We'd probably be friends with if we want, you know
Certain types of guys and I was never I didn't like to I don't like to fight and start stuff
I was more about the girls, but then you always have the guy in the crew. Yeah
someone'll drag
Like you know I remember one time we walked into place my buddies like I'm either get laid or somebody's getting knocked the fuck out
I think I like do why are these our options?
Get a freaking hoes over my hammie There's gotta be. Right. How about we just go to Denny's and get a frickin' Moons Over Miami?
But I was never that.
I was like, I was never that guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know.
Is that your order at Denny's? Moons Over Miami?
Oh, yeah. Moons Over Miami is strong.
That's what you would do.
And the Denny's burger combo with the salad.
Oh, burger combo.
And then back in the day, they had Mother Butler pies.
That was like, I don't even know what that is.
I won't get eyes on that. Looked those up. They were strong mother butler pie the banana cream was fucking phenomenal
Oh, I think I know you're they had they had our they had their own line of pies. Yeah
Yeah, it was out of Fort Lauderdale. It says mother butler pies. Yeah
Those were strong apple pie strong. I remember that button
Mother butler pies don't leave without one. Yeah, they were great. The Boston cream was strong
What would be your norm? What would be if you're going out to breakfast? We're right now was the morning
We were not hit a diner. What are you getting?
An omelet man not keeping it tight if you if you were letting loose. I depends man
I love pancakes, but I also like corned beef hash. I know that sounds really yeah gentlemen, but if it's not if it's too salty
But I put ketchup on everything like corned beef hash, I know that sounds crazy. Really? Yeah. Gentlemen. But not if it's too salty.
But I put ketchup on everything.
You know what I mean?
And what sucks is I like spicy food, but I can't eat it.
So like if something's spicy, I gotta pound.
He's so funny.
I gotta push through it, man.
I'm sweatin'.
My mouth burns.
You a fast food guy?
Yeah. What are you hitting?
I like filet of fishes from McDonald's is strong.
Put a little sweet and sour sauce on it.
Would that be the only thing you get?
Or would you get a burger too?
No, when I go in.
But I do one meal a day.
And sometimes I'll fast.
I like to fast.
I can go a couple of days without eating.
Yeah, like I eat a lot. It's like you eat a lot all at once.
And when I do that three times a day. Yeah.
Were you eating the car?
You eat in the Cadillac? No, fuck.
No, really never.
So if you go and get the fillet of fish at Mickey's, my car,
I try to keep it smelling as new as possible.
Are you getting are you getting the food and drive back to the house
and have it at the house?
No, I like to eat there.
I respect that.
Wait a minute, you're eating at McDonald's?
Yeah, I'll go in and eat.
Because there's a nostalgia of it too.
Really?
It's like, not that it's comfortable,
because my grandparents helped,
they did a big part of raising me,
and my grandmother every Friday would take us to,
I don't know if you ever saw me do the bit
when I hit the babysitter with the ax.
That's a true story.
I did not think you were embellishing that.
And then we would go to McDonald's every Friday.
And that was just like one of the happier moments as a kid.
Sure.
When I-
The old tan ashtrays and stuff like that.
Yeah, and then they had like the-
You cut a babysitter, then went to McDonald's.
Fucking, what's you wanna call it?
One of the happiest days of my life.
The gargoyle, not the gargoyle,
those little fuzzy things that used to eat fries.
Oh, fry guys
They would have like the seats. Yeah, I remember they had the gym. Yeah the playground. Yeah, John
Yeah, cage and all that shit
But you know McDonald's is nostalgic to me. So I this is I mean I eat big when I go there
That's the most gentleman are you going solo?
No, the girl my girl likes McDonald's too. So you guys decide here we're going to go to Mickey D's.
Yeah.
And you go in there and sit down.
Sit down and you order.
I respect that.
Got the playground, the kids running around.
You feel good.
It's like a sense of America.
It's like a sense of innocence.
Sure.
I feel like he has a waiter when he goes.
He's got the corner table.
I will tell you this.
You want a good advice.
When you go out and you want to sit down
Give the kid just the bus or you get the bus or $10 you slip in the bus or hand you get your bread
It's always there fresh the they they bring you so sometimes they won't even you know things end up missing
You're Johnny because that guy you making ten bucks off any other table, so you're the you're the
VIP say hey come here cuz like they'll come and you know you got to see if it's the
same guy and he comes by a couple times and hit him so you run them like not on
purpose but like I'll be like hey you're testing them out can I get some you know
and then they come back and then you say here this is for you and the next thing
you know more bread it's like a lot of bread I do something so after all after all that, you're like, yeah, but just more bread.
Tipping tipping is underrated. Nobody does it anymore.
It's very underrated.
But the other problem is people don't know once you tip them
sometimes every once in a while, it's a mess.
Guy just be like, oh, thanks. Yeah, I hate that.
I get that. I have to go because with New York,
I have to get my car out of the lot.
And it's like you have to because they have to bring it up to you. So it's like sometimes they tip them and they're like, it's like expected
I'm like you want to see them
Like if you fill out you fill out the credit card thing
First of all, you put in a tip on the card or would you we do cash cash?
You'll do can't have to claim it because I I worked in restaurants forever
So when you give it to them, huh?
Will you give it to them so they so they see it while you're there or will you just leave it on the table?
Well, you want them to see it?
Sure.
You want them to see it.
I'm a big see it guy.
Yeah, you gotta let them see it.
And, you know, cause you want to let them know.
Yeah, not well, it's more of, you know, remember me.
And then, you know, again, tipping saves you money.
Like I gave the guys, my residency at the Strat,
the valets are there.
Now, I mean, you get the players card if you play a lot,
but they were charging for valets like 25 bucks,
for some reason.
Now, when I pull in, because I do my show, I leave,
I became friends with them, so you know,
you throw a little money around,
but then you give them like 100 bucks for the holidays.
Your shit's right up front.
You end up saving money by giving them money.
Like I don't mind, when I would rob stuff
when I was younger, no for real,
I don't give a fuck about Macy's,
you know what I mean, or any of the corporations.
But the people that work there, you take care of them, man.
And you're saving money and they're putting money in their pocket.
And that's who I really want to help.
Yeah, for sure. Who are you?
Who are you breaking off at Christmas time?
Do you have you have a list of people that are getting banged out?
The valet guys?
Yeah, they'll get they'll get like a C note and then give us.
Do you have a super anything like that in the handyman? that nothing but i'm like here's all right here's how you save money
like with when i had to replace my hot water heater okay and by the way those home insurance
companies are full of shit you know they in order they they needed it to break. Now, my grandfather was in the hot water heater business.
Right. I know something about them.
Now the new ones. Anyways, there's rust in the water.
That means this fucking thing is going to leak.
You call your home insurance company, you know, like whatever they are,
the the way you pay like 40 bucks a month because they're supposed to.
But it needs to break.
So in other words, I got to get fucking water damage
in order for you to get the claim.
So now what they do is if you call them, they charge you for the call out. Okay,
right. Dude, this was a big thing for me. So they charge you for the call out.
So let's say I call my company, I report, I say, Hey, I think my heater is about
to go. All right, well, we'll have somebody come down and look and assess it.
We have to pick who it is. So they charge you 100. hundred meanwhile if I just called them myself it's a free call free
call free consultation come free estimate we'll come out take a look at it so the
first guy comes out says not yet he says yeah you're gonna need this replaced
then then they said well they didn't recommend it because a lot of these
people don't want to work for the insurance to do it because they don't
pay as much they negotiate down sure wait for the money to do it because they don't pay as much. They negotiate down. Sure. So you wait for money to is what I did.
It's true.
Then I said, well, let me get a list of your insured people.
So, you know, ones that are there.
So they did. I started doing the free calls, had guys come out, found the right guy.
How many guys you're going through that this I had hit about two or
this was the third guy.
Now he was the guy. He was the guy.
And I talked to him and, you know, they're trying to charge me forty five hundred.
So now this is where it goes.
Well, you know, because it's only it's easy to put the heater in.
Now lies guys have contractor licenses as well, so they can buy at discount.
So I said he goes, I go, how much, you know, talk to him.
How much would it be? It's like remember the old cable thing when the cable guy would come in. Yeah. And then
you say, Hey, here's 50 bucks and he'll hook it up. So you get all cable. Sure. Um, so
basically you can see it. I go, how much? He goes, it's, it's, it's really an easy job.
I said, well, how much would you charge me to put it in? He said, ah, two 50. I say,
how about this? I give you 500. Okay. buy the by the heater and then and then just get it done. So, you know, whatever you make so I gave
By giving them it cost me. I mean I gave him a little extra. So let's just say 2000 even
For the water heater to come in and get it as opposed to the 45 to 500
This is off the books. This is like. Of course. Now, he was, if he was.
He's happy, I'm happy, everybody wins.
If he was hired by the insurance company,
that guy would have made hourly rate of like two hours.
Nothing.
So now he's got fucking full pockets.
You got full.
See, that would be trashy,
but the way you describe it, it sounds so classy.
It's smart.
Yeah, you're not wrong.
And you know, that's what the whole
Fight Club movie was about.
And that's why...
I don't think I took that away from it.
For real.
This guy's good.
And Fight Club, even the way things were in New York with the Italian guys, you control
the working class.
The working class is where the power is.
Sure.
Right?
Like if you have a billion dollars, you ain't building that building by yourself. So you need people to build it. It's the same concept. You, we're the ones that they need
to go to. Right? They're the one. Well, now that you guys are making money, you're the
enemy. No. Um, so like, you know, a restaurant doesn't give a fuck if this kid gets stiff.
They don't give a fuck that they're doing 200% markup on a, on a soda. This kid don't give a fuck that they're doing 200% markup on a soda. This kid don't care, right?
But if I can give him more money and not pay as much, why wouldn't I just put that in his
pocket and you know?
No, I'm very big.
Growing up, everybody was a construction worker, so it was like, we're not going to go through
the company.
We'll have like even this building, like this set, my cousin Michael came up and did it
on the weekend.
That's how you do it.
Hey, come up, side work.
I'll buy everything. Give them cash. What do you want the week. That's how you do it. Come up side. I'll buy everything
What do you want a day? Here's here's two days. Yeah today at your rate Whatever you want about a Bing better boom out the door
And they wouldn't have made that much if they were if now if you're an individual contractor, then you know, you're like, yeah
And then there's always side stuff. Sure, right shout out to side work like, you know, you you could say to them
Okay. Well, what does this cost? Well, this is what I get at cost so there's no markup there
But then there's ways to do it where you know they can find more money in their pocket
And I don't come back Sunday night at 8
It's not illegal
It's also not not illegal
It's not I get what he wants to do on his free time
He can do on his free time, he can do on his free time.
This is fucking America last time I checked.
This is in communist China.
What is this? What are we communists?
Are you communists? Is this what we're listening to now?
But, you know, listen, I'm very fortunate to be over 50
and to have lived around guys that were all, you know, my whole family did all the, you know,
in the city, you know, that's where you come from.
So you know the ins and outs of everything.
Of course.
I've never been a person who's ever been like,
I'm gonna call this 1-800 number to have my gutters fixed.
It's like, call up my dentist, Kevin,
someone's gonna come fix it.
So you got a $4,500 hot water heater for two grand.
It was about 1800
And I was out of pocket
You know you sometimes you you know you
You figure it out. Yeah, I
Love that though. I love I love the hustle man
Even as a kid running all the scams we did and everything to make extra cash
Well, you feel better getting into the person, not the fucking company.
Absolutely. Yeah.
Like that was my thing when I when I got in trouble when I was younger,
like I wouldn't hurt anybody.
But, you know, if insurance covers it, you know what I mean?
It's a victim was crying.
No, for real. And you could be in on it.
Like you could get your old shit back. We could split new shit.
Yeah. No, for sure. You get your old. And me and can split new shit. Yeah He gets your old
Me and my ex-wife she would get mad at me sometimes because of the way I would I would finagle and do things
But you know she wants to go up the middle she always wanted to do things
You know buy the book like all right. I don't have much time. We're good. So we're in the airport. We're in Ohio
I killed a guy
And she's bitching like I said, I'm not a no one
So we're in the airport and we got there early
early enough, but the gate where this is Christmas time and I mean the lines long and
You know, you know women ought to get anxiety they start panicking sure and we had our dog that we had to check in
which you know we had our dog that we had to check in, which, you know, we had as a
the service. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, so now she's freaking out.
And I'm like, yo, relax.
So I said, I got this. Mm hmm.
We go. I go to the front of the line.
I go, hey, I'll give you a hundred for that.
We get it. Get in front. Right.
And the guy was like, yeah, like it's denim nightclub.
That's all you need.
You greased the TSA.
No, the TSA came over, said you can't do that.
Blah, blah, blah.
I went to a regular person. I said anybody.
You know, like a like a guy standing in line.
You pulled the home alone.
And then the TSA person didn't like it.
So now she's like, oh, my God, she's freaking out again.
I'm like, crazy. Relax. I'm like, relax.
I told her, relax.
I got a hundred for you too.
So now you gotta, this is what the working class thing is.
When you've worked your whole life
and you've done everything from landscaping
to waiting table, whatever it is, construction grunt work.
So now you go, all right, I said,
let's go to the baggage handlers,
because those guys, they know the ins and outs.
Now, remember, they could check you in on the curb.
So I find this kid, and I go, hey man, listen,
I'll give you 100 bucks if you can get us through the line.
He goes, look, this is what he told me.
He goes, I'm Christian, I don't do that,
but I'll take you to somebody who does.
Walks us to the front.
Loser.
Walks us to the front.
I'm also Catholic.
I got a picture of Jesus.
If he was Catholic, he'd do it.
You know St. Michael?
I got eight pictures of him.
Here's St. Benjamin.
Now you know.
So now I go to the front.
I give the guy, I come up to him.
I said, hey, and he goes, these were the guys that, and the kid was like,
you could tell he's maybe reformed.
Because he knew right away.
He had somebody there.
He goes, these are the guys I was telling you about.
I said, hey, how are you?
You do the handshake.
Guy didn't even look, put it in his pocket.
Then he, not only did he check us in,
he checked the dog in and brought us right to the front.
Nice.
15, 20 minutes tops.
Uh-huh, set of three hours.
And then I looked at my ex-wife, I said,
I go, I go, I don't know how I'm gonna win,
but I know I ain't losing.
We're figuring it out.
Yeah.
And that's, but to her now,
the way she would have done it prior is, you know,
get her dad's credit card or say,
and say, can we get the next flight?
Yeah. You know what I mean?
You're like, I'm getting on that flight.
We're getting on this.
Now, in a situation like that, right,
you're going to the airport.
You got hundreds on you for that?
Are you thinking ahead of time of, like, I
might have to grease somebody?
You should always have cash on you, again,
in case somebody robs you.
You should always have enough on you to where you don't have to go
to the ATM, and they won't kill you
Like oh here's 300 bucks. You get the fuck out of that's a good enough score. I would say 200 now with inflation maybe three
Yeah, if you got enough cash on you if you don't carry cash on you and let's say I mean this this out of city used
To be mm-hmm. You know what I mean, but you know kid comes up yo run it
You know I got 200 get out of here
Your mugger money, but you know this way they don't follow you to the ATM
You just give them the cash tell me get the you know
kick rocks
You could always say this is my you always say it's your lucky day
I just said I just hit the ATMs went out here, then so, you know, keep your wallet and all that stuff.
You're right. Yeah. Yeah.
I know. I know guys have fake wallets.
Yeah. Just to give up, just to give up.
I thought he was going to say the tip of that layer.
So I know this is a lot.
And I love it to your listeners that don't know me.
This we have a little history here.
So this is why these these are all queued up.
And on top of that, I'm not trying to present my,
this is to the younger listeners,
this is how things were.
We don't have that, man.
I mean, most listeners are our age.
Okay, so they know.
Yeah, they're 30s and 40s.
And if you grew up in the northeastern area or...
No, this is all Boston.
This is all Boston.
This is all checkin' out.
This is all dirt bad all normal this is all Boston this is all checking out this is all dirt

of doing things and you know and that's what you grew up that's what I grew up around he wasn't
paying 4,500 for the water heater And what he's doing it himself.
Thank God they turn in the old one into insurance.
No, I mean, you know, they you know how they were.
Yeah, that's the way they did things.
You know, yeah, of course. Man, I mean.

about nicknames.
And my mom was like, yeah, what the, cause you have blue eyes, you should say blue eyes.
And then the other room, my grandfather chimes in, no, he goes, if anybody had a beef with you

Jesus Christ.

causes the, yeah, you're right,

They're not dupes.
Yeah, no, no, I mean, come on.
Although there's a great stuff. They're not. Yeah, no, no. I mean, come on. Although there's a great
bottle cologne I found, it's like $15 a bottle and it is phenomenal.
I get it on Amazon. I've sent it to Yanis and what's it called?
It's called Territorial.
I can't even say I don't know how to pronounce it.
Fifteen bucks. Territorial.
How many different how many different bottles do you say you have?
How many cents do you work for?
And are they set up?
On the like on your dresser are they are they displayed I have a
Got a safe deposit
He's got Lucy's and Minson shit
You know I picture you had set up like a bar
So what I bought was this cabinet that you open up
and I put my you know, my my chains, watches and shit in there.
And then it has a little area for your cologne.
But, you know, I go you go through stages.
Sure. Aqua De Geo is still strong, but not the original.
They made one called the Profundo and the Absolute.
One's a night set. One's a great, day set. Love it. Not a spice guy. You know what
I mean? Like I like the cleaner. Do you swap seasons? Will you go a little heavier in the
winter? I have different scents I use like for the fall gym. There's ones that you know,
you wear. You put on just for the gym. Yeah. Day. Then there's like if I'm going out, out.
You ever spree, you ever spritz anything on before you go to bed?
You get out of the shower?
We had somebody ask us that.
Italian kid.
I used to spray my bed with cologne
before a girl came over.
Sure, yeah, you did.
I don't know if you ever did that.
Smells like other dudes were in there.
Yeah, sure.
I had nine Tonys over here last week.
No, because they lay down, and you're like, ehh. Tony's over here
You know you got to go soft sense for that
Yeah, like I'm not a big so what do we see got eight eight of them eight bottles I got two I got three the Geos. I got two of the territories. They have a platinum one. Sure
I got my you know
I got the event is Creed, but that's a safety deposit
That's like no turn your cuz that's like three
That's like a $400 bottle
But then my a friend of mine that I knew from back in the day runs a strip club
So the guy that won't say the guy that works the bathroom there gets it discounted
So I got that for two bills.
There you go. And then that's and then I also, you know, I was still.
Oh, is that a special trip to get that cologne?
Did you go over there to pick it up?
Well, he because he had it.
And I said, bro, that's you know, that's that's nice.
And he goes, yeah, because, you know, I can get it for you.
So I gave him the like wholesale or whatever.
Yeah. And you had to go back to the strip club to pick it up. No. No he I met him
But we watch games together and stuff so you know
But uh he's the fucking best. I love it. And that's the other thing too. That's what's great about Vegas man
It's like the sportsbooks. They got everything going on. I feel like that town is perfect for you. I fucking love it except
As far as like nature goes, you're in a desert.
Sure. But you got to give and take.
But we get to change the seasons. Yeah.
But the the the sports books are fucking phenomenal.
Like that's Circa. I haven't been.
Buddy, it looks like, you know, we have a stadium when they have the damn circus.
Megatron. You know, the the thing that hanging.
There's one like in the middle of Circa. shit, and then um because I like to go to
The cage I don't do the apps yeah, yeah, you know with the real feel you know what I mean I?
Love it. I don't have you ever been to off-track betting back in the day
Not oh, we used to go when we turned 18
We would go to the Philadelphia race track and I mean all day long if you want to quit gambling
Go to an OTB. Yeah, see what you're gonna be it's rough in 20 years
It's rough. We were 18. We were there. We're probably one of us was 18. It was putting the bets in for everybody else
It was a weeknight. We're in school high school
We're there watching some guy came over big old-school fat guy cigar had the fucking had the the
Pamphlet whatever and he goes I never want to see you fucking kids here again
I've lost three wives, four houses,
my family, get the fuck outta here.
Who do yous like in the third?
Then here comes sunshine.
Before you go.
Well Vegas man, when I first got out there,
I hit a, not a bad run,
but you gotta control yourself.
But then I liked the table games, but then I got away from that and started playing slots.
And you're a slots guy, dude, there's a method to it.
There's certain ones you got to look for.
That's a tragedy thing you said.
Hold on, I'll show you.
I'll show you how many jackpots.
Well, because what happens?
What's the biggest jackpot you hit?
And what is this like a Wednesday night or whatever?
If you don't have a spot.
Is, you know, you get money, and then you put in there
there's a there's a couple of the sevens machines that I play that I did I do $25 a spin and
But when they hit they hit
So well, here's how I look at it say you're gonna bet a grand for the month
Right you want to play around whatever and a lot of people do the the video poke the video slots
Which those don't really pay that great they're waiting for the bonuses
Some of those by law a lot of these slots have to pay and if you can look at some of the other ones
You'll see the progressive has to hit by a certain point. You just don't know when so, you know, you can kind of calculate
Calculate you can make your odds a little better
Yeah, but if it you know if I'm gonna bet a grand for the month
I'll go to the $25 one because if you hit you hit big you hit once and you know, you're talking like five grand change
The the biggest one I've hit was 65
6500 yeah, but like I hit in the past three weeks
4041 a
I'm sorry 42 like a 40 a 40, 80, then 1800.
I'll show you, I'll take pictures of them
because my girl's sleeping.
And I'm, you know.
Babe, get up, you're never gonna believe this.
I don't want her to think that I'm out
doing anything sometimes, so you know,
you're like, I'm at the slots again.
But then I get all the free play,
and that's where you can really earn.
Because like, you can take the free play,
and if you go and you play with it,
you just keep cashing out when you win win because you can't cash out the free play
Ah, so you can make a couple hundred then take that and then you know go go by cologne with it some losses
You'll do this after a show or were you just good like having a guy in the casino and hit the slaps for a little bit
Sometime mostly after shows, but then sometimes I'll go just to solo or with the boys
No with her she would her play too because she gets some free play, but she's doing like 88 cents a spin
Sure, maybe do dinner whatever hit the slots
But you got to be careful like if you hate losing more than you like winning
You chase sometimes cuz then it's like I'm gonna beat these fucking guys, but I got up and you know, that's just, but it's fun.
Cause I don't drink.
I'm not whoring.
I'm not whoring.
That's such an old school dirt bag.
And you get off stage, the dopamine's going.
Sure.
Yeah, then you're like, all right, let me play.
Hit the slots.
But here's what I don't like about the slots
Whether you win or lose
It gives you every spin kind of gives you like when you're playing blackjack
You kind of feel like you're in control because you can say hit stay
You know there's some type of strategy with the slots. There's not mm-hmm
So even when you win you come back you feel like yeah, you feel icky. You know, I get it, man.
I could never do this.
Lots of is there a game on it this hard rock?
No, no, right.
No, the one in.
No, there's none in New York.
None in New York Empire.
You got the edge. Jesus.
I was just curious.
For research purposes.
Who look, you think I'm lying?
We don't know. Look at this.
I'll show you all my players cards.
This is Resorts World. This is Rampart. This is Strat. What's Rampart? This is the Rampart
Casino is a local one by us. This is Suncoast. And then these right here, you know, once you
start playing, you know, you get free rooms, everything.
So, like, I got comps for days, but I keep...
Comp for days in the city you live in.
Yeah, like, people, like, if you guys come in, I got you hooked up.
Will you stay at a hotel and, like, do a little staycation?
Yeah. You and the lady?
Yeah. It's fun.
And then, you know, they give you, like, because once you get there,
they want you to keep playing.
Mm-hmm.
So, you know, you get free dinners and whatever you say you let's say I want to get the steakhouse
Well, how much how much you need? Yeah, I'll take 250 and then you go in but you can't tip them with it
Sure, you know, and then it just goes back on your card, but they don't care. That's what they're there for
Yeah, just want to keep it rolling. Yeah, then you know the rooms pretty strong
You know, I used to spa there one time
It's like the pool. I used it one time.
Yeah
But you got to use them up cuz they it'll go away and then everything resets
So whatever. Is that garbage? Is that perfect for Vegas?
I mean yeah, no, that's I mean you you've you weren't you are fully in your own. I love it.
Then you get show tickets. I've seen Barry earns no
I've seen Barry Manilow. I saw go see Wayne Newton. I haven't I don't know if he's still going he's still banging like
Yeah, we went yeah, I would go just to say I saw him
Man group or something I saw Chicago I I saw Journey with the New Asian guy.
Oh yeah, that guy rips dude.
Yeah, that guy, he sounds just like him.
Uh huh, it's crazy.
Well, I saw Sublime.
Nice.
Yeah, you get like, I'm trying to think of a couple of them.
But like, I'm not a big live music guy, but you know, you get free tickets and they put you up in the box.
Sure, not too shabby.
And then you get the the nice buffet
They got their chicken fingers and I just speak in my language big dog. Those are strong
