It's not rugged, it's the most white Italian American poet. Brothers and sisters? I got two older brothers. How old are they? How much older are they? Oh, like two and three years older. Two and three years older than you. Oh, like two and three years older. Two and three years older than you.

Not bad. What'd your parents do for work growing up? My mother stopped working when she had my oldest brother. She was a nurse and my father just retired as a nurse. Okay. Nice, both nurses. Both nurses. Nice.

Very nice. 100% Italian all the way through the board? To the board, yeah probably. Even if he wasn't, he wouldn't fucking say it publicly. You know what I mean? He might be a little German in there or something. What kind of fed question are you attacking the brand? British accent comes out of a rug.

All right, and growing up, a single family home apartment, what were you guys living in? No, we had a two family, so it was like a regular house. That night it was like suburbs, you know, Brooklyn. So it's two together, like two? No, it was like a house house. Staten Island's like suburb, it's not like Brooklyn. So it's two together, like two. No, it's like a house and then we had an apartment and my grandmother lives in the apartment. Very traditional.

And that's nice. That's nice. Holy shit. And she had her own setup up there, right? Yeah, she had her own apartment and her own thing. Okay, and extended family around the area as well? No, I mean, both my parents were raised raised in Staten Island, but I moved to Jersey. That's what you did.

Where the only family left in Staten Island. If he only wants it stayed. You get a couple of bucks to go to Jersey. So your dads are tired, your moms are tired. What do your two brothers do? They... Uh, well, my eldest works for Metta. He's like...

Oh, shit. Intelligent or whatever. Intelligent or whatever. And my other brother, my middle brother, he's a school teacher, special ed school teacher. Okay, very nice. Not bad, not bad. And how are your grades growing up? How are you? I was good. Yeah, yeah. My parents like, got home from school, do your homework, and then you could do whatever you want.

Public school, Catholic school, what are you going to? So we all did public till eighth grade and then high school, we all did Catholic schools. They went to the small Catholic high school, where you had to like try and do homework. I went to like the all-boy Catholic school where you didn't have to do anything. Okay.

Cause I didn't want to do anything. Sure. And I'm a lazy piece of shit. I respect it myself as well. Any sports? Yeah, I played basketball. I I stopped like that's JV year We will stop the entire team just quit Yes, I don't know eventually you just get burnt down you're like

Okay, you got burnt out on the JV I'm wearing my knees out, coach. I'm 13. I don't have to. I got to think about life after sports. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to get CTE or no shin splints. Come on.

Man, remember shin splints? That was like, that was a teenager's worst nightmare. I remember. You got those. First time, I thought I was going paralyzed, dude. I didn't know what was happening. There was no cure either I didn't know what was happening. Yeah, it was no cure either. It was like you take Tylenol or something like that. It's not a disease.

It's not running a 5K for shin splints. Okay, what was growing up? What was the food like? Were you guys eating at home every night? Yeah, there was always family dinner after school with dinner after, you know, school with the parents. Mom and dad could cook? Yeah, they could cook okay. They cook enough.

My mom was like, she doesn't like to cook that much. I mean, she did grow it up because she stayed on mom, so, you know, she cooked every night. My father could cook a little. See, I can't tell if, I don't know how to grade this. Like you saying they can't cook, I don't know if that's, they can't cook as if I don't know how to grade this like you saying they can't cook I don't know if that's they can't cook as far as that night in Italian statin on Italian or as regular or as You know regular people across the board. I mean they did their job. They could cook. They could make a red sauce Oh, yeah, they can make a nice red sauce. Okay people's cutlets, you know, so they could cook

Yeah, they knew they were way around the kitchen. But then once I learned how to cook, I was like, ah, you guys are a little slack. That's too much garlic, Ma. He's a real truffles. Yeah, start losing it. Always Italian food, like would you do meatloaf? Would you do? Yeah, we did like American, like we did meatloaf pork chops,

which I fucking hated, but my mother just, I don't know. Guess they were cheap and easy to make. There's a pork chop to a little kid. Might as well get it from another planet. Might as well feed it to the dog. I know. They do the applesauce with the pork chops?

No, my mother used to like bread them and then just throw them in the gut. It was nice, it was not a good time. It's weird, when we were little kids, we didn't realize that our parents were young and so they were just kind of starting to cook. Like my mom's money now, her cutlets, everything is unbelievable. But when I was a kid, I remember her throwing out hamburgers and meatloaf at us and being

Tree was fake. Was it a white tree or was it green? Nah, green, tradition. A lot of what we found in our findings, a lot of Italians go real tacky gaudy. Hot pink. They got like the white Christmas tree or like the real over the top lights at Christmas.

We have a small family, I don't have too many cousins. Okay, all right. And what would be on that menu? So we would do shrimp cocktail. Okay. And then the food of the morning, seafood salad. Sure. And then there would be like calamade,

it's congealy. This is cold we're talking, right? Cold, calamade, it's congealy. What else? Shrimp would be in there. And then some lobster would be there. Okay. And then we would have an octopus salad.

Okay. Just cause some people just didn't like octopus or anything. So we'd be up to like five. And then we'd have lobster tails. Okay. Then we would have linguinean clams. Sure. And then we would have muscle.

A double bypass and some insulin injections. And then we would have mussels mad mad. And then my brother really doesn't like And then we would have muscles mad mad. Uh-huh.

I don't really remember too much. I mean I still get the head struck every year That's trashy People's retirement on statin I I just do it because I think my grandfather used to get it for us. Sure. And then when he passed away, I kind of just wanted the hedge-drunk. Who gets it for you? Parents get it for you? Now there's like no, not a lot of gifts, you know.

I tell you what, man, on Christmas Day though, the lights, that thing was ready to go.

So we were kind of getting into it a little bit. You're working the accounting job. You quit that after that semester's over. What do you do? You move back home? No, so I quit that and I wanted to stay in Newport. I just liked the town. It was either I could stay there and I can afford to live up there because the rent was a lot cheaper when I'm moving with my parents and being miserable. Sure. So no way. You still had a lot of friends that were in school, maybe had another year.

And they, you know, I had a lot of friends that got jobs in the area, so it wasn't like, I was just hanging out to dry. So immediately I was like, all right, let me just get a job at the supermarket, because I know I could get that in like four days. And then I could just like figure it out. Then what at the supermarket?

I think I worked at the deli, and then I did nothing there, so they put me in seafood and I did even less there. I used to clock in at eight, shovel some ice and go to the bagel store, sit there, smoke some weed and eat a bagel for two hours, walk back in, put the fish out. It was a nice life. Put the fish out.

Sounds like a team story. A nice grocery store? It was clean. Well, it the fish out. And then, yeah. Sounds like a team story. A nice grocery store? It was clean. Well, it wasn't, if you don't mind. We were a big grocery store. It was out of fish, is what it was. It was upstate one.

They called it Tops. Tops. I don't know Tops. Yeah, so like, the tops was big up there. Hannah Food is big up there. OK. And growing up, where were they food shopping? Costco, big Costco. Oh, shit. OK. Love okay Costco. All right very smoothly. There's a banging

Would you ever make a trip to stew Leonard's were you a stew Leonard's family? Do you know I'm talking about? Fuck with that right because it's up on 87 it's up In Newport we had stewards stewards and they call if he's slam. Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about. The S is like. It's like a 7-0-1. Yeah, gotcha. It's like a white tray of 7-1. And we didn't ask you, what grossest, where was your mom shopping when you were a kid?

She was at Costco. Oh, that's where she was going. I thought you were going there at New Pulse. No, what do I gotta call it? Magazine? And then Shop Bright, I think she used to go there. Shop Bright's a good, shout out to Shop Bright. I didn't know it was. And then Maggie's, for just she used to go to. Shop Right's a good, shout out to Shop Right, they do it well.

And then McGee's, McGee's for just like a quick run. Yeah. So you're working at the grocery store, you're not doing much, you're up there. Now this is past when you should have, after that semester, like that summer? No, this is during that semester. And then I decided, I used to work at a deli up there also.

So I ended up getting a job there too. So I was working like. This kid's living it, huh? I know. So I was working like seven days a's living it, huh? I know. So I was working like seven days a week. Okay. I was making, I was making enough to survive.

It wasn't expensive up there. It was really like, I think my rent, when I first moved out on my own was like 800 bucks. Yeah. Plus electric and- Sure. It was like 900 bucks plus food, but I always worked in food.

So like, it wasn't like I had a like You're not buying three meals a day right? I was buying maybe one. Mm-hmm. You slice guy thin slice it thin Of course. Yeah, yeah, probably pretty good on the slicer. I always fucking meant That's why they let you take the two hour breaks slice is so small you couldn't even see See right through it. Dude, I love that, man. The look in his eyes, yeah, pretty good. Pretty good.

I respect it. Okay. All right, so you're doing that. And then when did things start taking off? So things are taking off. You stay up there this whole time. You never move home. So, yeah, so I stayed up there an extra two years.

So not that year, so I graduated in 19. So all of 19 and all like 20, 20s when COVID happened. But I was in food, so I had to go into work. I never got the COVID break. I never got that extra 600. I'm still mad about the 600. I'm still mad about the 600. I ain't getting broken off.

You got the stimmy though, right? Yeah, but like, not when everybody, dude, I remember I mad about the 600. I'm still mad about the 600. I ain't getting broken off. You got the stimmy though, right? Yeah, but like, not when everybody, dude. I remember I only got the stimmy and he was getting the extra 600 every week. Yeah, I was like. Walking around like fucking big baller. Yeah, he was walking around like John Gotti, only like a broken down Felicia was fucking terrible.

So then that's happening. In the middle of 2020, I got a job in the kitchen, like a restaurant. So I stopped working at the other two places. And it was just better for me. I liked food. It was like a real kitchen. It was still in Newport.

So I started doing that. And then 2021, the next year, July is when the first video took off. Started popping. I was like, oh, that's cool. And then like I started doing it a little more and a little more. And you know, my buddy was like, yo, just do it. Like, yeah. Is this mostly when you were in the car?

Is that? Yeah, mostly mainly in the car and, you know, cooking at home a little, that little shitty kitchen, which I miss. I wish I just stayed at that, but not stayed, I moved home once I blew up just to like figure out my life, because I quit my job,

but I wish I would have just known that I could have afforded to keep both. Gotcha. But, you know, whatever. So I just started doing it, my buddy's like, just do it, you know, see where it goes, you're not gonna lose anything by doing it. And if it, you know, it dies, it dies, it dies if it doesn't fuck like you got something good here something

cooking and then I don't know like three four months in I just I had the San Gennaro Fest right I went down that's the fucking Super Bowl for a for an Italian dude from like the combine because a good show, it had to see an genero festival. Yeah, and every flutter write ups about me. And everyone's like, hey, cool, hey, cool, hey, cool. And before this, I got noticed a couple of times, but I was upstate. Sure.

But here, it was like every 30 seconds. And I'm like, oh, the views are matching. People are actually engaging with it. Engaging with it. I was like, all right, that's cool. So I went back to my job, put in my two weeks, and I'm like, fuck it, I'll figure it out. I wasn't making a single dollar of social media,

but I was like, something's got to do with it. Something's here, baby. Something's cooking. We got it. Like living on duty does like the action. Yeah, it does. I love that your buddy had to give you the Goodwill hunting speech of like, if I see you again,

you got to get in your car. You got to eat those sandwiches. You got to drink those tight coaxes. Do it for the ones that can't do it. I'm stuck here. I'll be here my whole life. That's basically how it was. What are your parents saying or thinking as you know before things really started working out. By then they kind of knew my lease was up in like three months anyway. So I think they were thinking like, you know, he's probably going to like move home or, you know, figure it out. So that's kind of why I quit too, because I was like, all right, I could quit. I'll live up here for three months.

I could really go hard at my content. Right. And then I'll just move home. My parents aren't going to like charge me rent or nothing. Yeah. And then I'll just move home my parents aren't gonna like charge me rent to nothing yeah and then I'll just figure it out yeah I'll make it and you know I made it work but I was I'm still lazy like I quit and then like I got on cameo and I was still so fucking lazy I didn't even want to make 30 second videos and my buddies call me off of stana are you a fucking jerk or what are you gonna fucking do?

Come on. Yeah, he's working on like, he's working in the tunnels or something. He's building scaffolds. Yeah, exactly. He's like, you stupid motherfucker. Get me to 75, I'll do the goddamn videos. Whose birthday is it?

All right, all right. So now the bags are coming in aplenty, as they say. Yeah, now I'm like, you know, okay, I'm living. Gotcha, gotcha. Did you do anything, and I know, counting responsible guy it seems, did you do anything crazy? Was there any stupid purchase?

I didn't need that chinchilla or anything like that. No, I never, I'm a pretty simple guy. Like I don't really buy, like design and clothes.
