Welcome back to the Good Guys podcast.
I'm sitting here with Lisa Vanderpump's dog trainer.
Ben Soffer.

Yes.
Lisa and I honestly haven't spoken in a couple of weeks.
So I'd prefer that you stop referring to me as that.
I've moved on to other clients.
But we have Vinny and Cianna.

viny into a youtube star trying to be a youtube star and yeah we just had a great time recording there
so go check out theirs and for now
We're on the good guys.
Josh, you're looking fantastic.
I see that you've buttoned one more button since we were on the last.
Oh, never mind.
You're still there.
You're looking fucking sexy.
Thank you.
I guys.
Vinnie, Sienna, I want you to know this.
Toyota Sienna, a great minivan.
I have a birthmark that's in the shape of some say Africa.
Others say South America, whatever is the continent you feel it's closest to.
But what do you guys say?
It's a bit of a glare, but I'm going to say Africa.
Is it?
I'm going to get close.
Can I get close?
Yeah, I get close.
Come show us. Come show us. Come show us.
There's still a glare.
Go a little lower.
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
A little lower.
Little lower.
To me it looks like.
I'm just saying, guys, if you're not watching this on YouTube.
That's definitely Africa and like a weird heart.
Yeah, Africa.
I thought it looked like a dolphin jumping out of the water.
Josh, do we know for sure that that's not cancer?
I thought.
So glad you brought that up.
It looks like the shadow.
We've done been thinking it's cancer.
since I was born with it.
And my Jewish mother, shout out Barbara, goes,
what is that a blazon on his chest?
It's all over for him.
And as she will tell you, she had it checked by the top people at Lenox Hill Hospital.
Thank God.
It's not.
I had a thing removed once.
You know, 37 years later.
You had something removed?
Do you shave your chest?
I do.
You do.
What's that process like?
Well, I did Chippendale.
So I...
Yeah, what's the body hair requirements for Chippendales?
Oh, I mean, most guys have it off, but they usually have a guy for everything there.
They have like a chunkier gut, not chunky as in fat.
Oh, for like the kinks?
Yeah, like every girl, like there's like a black man, there's like a Spanish man.
What are you?
You're like a celebrity.
I'm the fucking keto guido.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
But is there a thicker, more hunky guy, like a more stout, like a woodcutter, like a lumber
Jack type like me and Ben.
Yeah.
They've had a Thor kind of guy with like the long hair.
And then they have like a core group.
So they have like a core group of guys that like are the dancers.
Like these real people, they went to like dance school and shit.
And then they have like just a couple chunk like buffy guys just like standing around
in the back.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And is there, you know, infighting is there?
Do the original, does the original cast of Chippendales have a little bit of a thing like,
oh, celebrity comes in.
Like you're not full Chippendale.
You know what I'm saying?
You haven't, you know, gone up the ranks.
They like shove me in one of the stripper lockers in the back.
They like fucking strangle me with the cock sock.
They're like, you'll never be one of us.
Are you guys friends?
What's a cock sock?
You have to wear it because it's illegal to show dick on the strip.
Oh, so you just have it's a sock that covers your cock.
It goes in your balls and your balls on your dick goes into it.
Wow.
And it's like a little sack.
It's like a little jewelry sack.
And does it tie on your waist?
Modesty pouch.
Modesty pouch for the good guys.
Tied around your waist?
I've had to wear one.
No, it's literally just a sack that just can, like, it could just cover it up and there's a little elastic band.
You get it like hem to you.
Wow.
Does it hurt?
No.
It's not tight, you know.
No.
You'd be surprised.
It's made from like a wonderful like a silk.
Yeah.
Like a satin almost.
Yes.
It's like a hug.
Have you used that before, Josh?
Yeah.
In love scenes.
film or I've had to have nudity. I once worked on an indie movie where they didn't have enough
money for the modesty pouch and I used the sock. It was embarrassing. Sure. You're like, I need
size 11. Has anyone ever gotten a spray tan? Have you got a spray tan, Josh? Oh yes. Many, many, many.
When I do the spray tan, the girl, like, I don't, it's like this weird, awkward thing where I don't
know if I have to put a sock on. And they always do this thing of like, whatever you're comfortable with. Even
when you get a massage too, right? But I'm like, I'm never really comfortable
just getting butt-ass naked. But people-
Unless I'm about to- People spray pant that spray-spray, people spray-paint. People spray tan their
this isn't a wiener. This isn't a bank seat. Yeah. No, well, I guess like they're just-
Like that's enough to tell you, hey, cover your penis. No, they don't, they don't tell me.
So like I get a sock myself. I got like a Nike sock and now my dick is just dangling in a Nike
sock in front of them in front of her.
Yeah.
Interesting.
It's good that it's not, Tam.
This isn't for me.
This is for our listeners, of course.
Do you have any stories from Chippendales like women in the crowd who got too
handsy?
Or that's basically my question.
Yeah.
Well, he had two questions.
The first question of, do they accept you?
They totally accepted me.
There was no like stripper initiation.
You know what I mean?
Because, you know, even when they tried, I liked it.
Yeah.
So there was that.
But yeah, girls are wild.
If you go to a male strip club, every guy is calm, reserved.
I'm not saying everyone, but for the most part, it's chill.
But in a female one, they grab you, they touch you.
At the end, there's a meet and greet, meet and greet, M-E-A-T.
And the security guard is like, okay, you sit on Vinny's lap, but like don't kiss him or like,
because there's been so many girls tried to kiss me.
And like as soon as you tell them that when they're drunk, some like weird reversal happens in their brain.
And they try to kiss me. It's like they want to be the one that like gets away with it.
So I've had girls kiss me before where like I start getting like I break out on my face. I start getting hives.
There are times where brides have like sent me like that. They'll be like check your Instagram and like they're like playing with themselves sending it to me.
Brides to be. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to smash after the show.
Oh, like their bachelor's party.
Yeah.
And like, and I felt bad after I did it, you know?
Did you ever actually?
No, no.
Clip it.
And that's how you met Sienna.
That's how, yeah, that's how he cut together.
Yeah, it's how Sienna met her dad.
Yep.
Which is you.
Yeah.
Right?
A new daddy now.
Did you ever, my buddy is in the Magic Mike show in Vegas.
Yeah.
Okay, so you know.
He has a famous quote where he will come back and he's a dancer.
like he's a B-boy, like a professional dancer,
but he was always in good shape, so he went and did this show.
And he'll come back and say to us, he'll go,
you know, bro, I get done with a night of Mike.
A night of Mike.
And my cup runneth over, my boy.
He's like, my cup is full, dog.
Like, just because of the adoration from the women
and how nuts people are going.
He's like, I just feel great about myself.
Did you go home every night feeling pretty darn
good? Yeah, I mean, that's, you know, when they asked me to do it, I was, well, first of all,
let's set the table here. So, hi, guys, I'm Vinnie from the Jersey Shore. Being a stripper is not my
full-time job. It is a side gig that I did. You've done other stuff? I've done other stuff.
Not like, it was just, you know, so anyway, so, like, they asked me to do it because they always have, like,
some, like, z-less celebrity kind of, like, do the role. And it's a very hard role to fill because
you need to find someone that's, like, decently in shape, but that also, like, wants to, like,
go live in Vegas for six weeks.
And, you know, it's hard to do it if you have a family.
Can't be too famous because, like, why would the fuck would you do that if you're too
famous?
But you also can't be not that famous.
You get to put butt in the seat.
So I fit right in there in this weird little world.
And a lot of people always ask me, like, I had a couple comments that were like, oh, things
must be tough, huh?
And I'm like, no, actually, I became a stripper at the peak of my career.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So anyway, what was the question again?
Things must be tough for that clown.
She got defensive right now.
Yeah.
No, you were, you were, oh, didn't make you feel good.
Yeah.
Yeah, no.
So, like, when I went to go look at the show, because I was like, I wanted to do some research
before I got in.
I mean, of course, I had been there a bunch of times, you know.
But, uh, videos like going to chipping down, thunder from down under, magic mic.
Where do I think?
Yeah, yeah.
So, uh, no pun intended.
So I, um, I went there.
And I was like, oh, this is like a fucking comedy show.
This is like the lightest lift.
It's so easy.
They treat you so good.
It's just like a bunch of girls screaming at.
you the hardest thing is just getting in shape which you know steroids helps for a lot of people that
do that i don't do steroids but i was so excited to ask you no that that's why i don't do it anymore
because i actually have to get in shape otherwise i would do it forever but like i can't sustain the
like being ripped all the time you know what i mean they like the dad bought that i would like a dad
oh no being on stage running around your shirt off is a different kind of insecure really i get it
do they ever a woman at chippendales like performers or is it no i think there's a woman in magic mike though
there's like a shout, like a rain scene or some shit like that.
You got to ask your boy.
But yeah, it feels because the exact opposite.
I've seen it.
There is a woman.
Yeah.
It's the exact opposite of stand-up comedy where everyone hates you in the crowd.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by Element.
Healthy hydration isn't just about drinking water.
It's about water and electrolytes.
It makes sense.
You lose both water and sodium when you sweat.
Both need to be replaced to prevent muscle cramps,
headaches and energy dips that result from dehydration, low electrolytes, and most people only
replace the water. Why? Because since the 1940s, we've been told to drink eight glasses of water per day,
whether you're thirsty or not. Enter in Element, created by former research biochemist Rob Wolf
and Ketogaine's founder, Lewis Vander Sr. Element has enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium
to get you feeling and performing your best. Plus, it has zero sugar, artificial colors, and other
dodgy ingredients to hold you back.
Element has your electrolyte needs covered.
With a thousand milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium, and 60 milligrams of magnesium,
it contains enough electrolytes to move the needle towards each of these electrolyte goals.
You know, with magnesium and potassium, I'm getting less muscle aches and cramps.
I'm feeling less fatigue, getting less of that just kind of spacey, you know, brain foggy thing.
and I could never have guessed that it had everything to do with electrolytes.
And now introducing Element Sparkling, No Sugar, No Caffeine, All Electrolites.
Element Sparkling delivers the same zero-sugar electrolyte formula you already know and trust,
now in a bold 16-ounce can of sparkling water.
Element Sparkling offers health seekers an all-new option to support their health across a broad spectrum of occasions.
With each can, you're taking a sip against sugar,
and stimulant loaded drinks, turning the tide towards health.

Sienna, yeah, you spoke about your perfect strip show having dad bought.
Would it be all guy, like all Seth Rogen's and like Jason Seagulls and me and Ben?
Would that be the perfect shift show for you?
All Shane Gillis is for her.
Dad bots.
I kind of like a quirky dad bot.
I don't really like the ripped guy thing.
Like I like in shape.
Like you're not going to die.
I don't like skinny fat.
There's a difference.
Like dad bods are more like girthy.
A little stomach will hit you.
Yeah.
Big shoulders.
Yeah.
That's different than like a guy who's like thin but eats too much.
Like it's just not.
The sheep herder.
Yeah, the sheep herder. Our friend has an amazing joke about how he looks like a goat herder.
From where?
From Afghanistan. And he like really does.
The goat herder body. The goat herder body is crazy.
Yeah, I don't like the goat herder body.
But like that's just the difference between men and women. It's like, you know, like we're different.
Like most women, if you talk to them about Chippendales and these guys are ripped.
They're fucking like they have eight packs. They're jacked and whatever.
And I don't want to say, I could be wrong. But I might say, you know, I might say,
most what might be like, that's hilarious.
That's disgusting.
I don't even, I have no interest in that.
As opposed to men, if you just got like 20 smoke show girls, not a lot of men are going
to be like, that's disgusting.
I'm not into that.
No.
Like the aesthetic of the, you know, the seeing the beauty from the outside.
You know what I mean?
I mean, it just seems like a guy's too into himself.
That's just unappealing to a woman.
Like a guy who's like running down the street and he thinks he's like super hot.
It reads as like maybe he's not into women.
He's a narcissist.
Yeah.
If you're too obsessed with yourself that you prioritize your body to that level, most of the time you're a narcissist.
Sometimes you're just Vinny.
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
I am also a narcissist.
Or sometimes you're a narcissist.
I've been seeing that a lot too with girls, like as I'm doing my little social media dating and stuff, it's like my therapist taught me that like you'll look at a page and like a woman that like knows she's really hot.
She takes a lot of selfies.
You know what I mean?
She sees herself as like a god.
Yeah. And that's, that one might be a little, a little hard to be in a relationship with. As opposed to like, there's other girls that don't do that. Like once in a while, they'll like post a picture of like a balcony somewhere. Like, oh, that's a pretty balcony. Not everything has to be about me. No, it can also be about the balcony. Dating pre-social media and dating post-social media. Let's talk about that.
Pre-social media, post-social media. So like pre-dating apps.
So I am in a weird place. Like I started my show when I was 21 years old.
There were no social media apps.
Was there plenty of fish?
I don't know.
There was like my space or something.
There was plenty of fish at that time.
There was plenty of fish.
Yeah.
But like it wasn't like now.
We actually had to talk to people.
But I kind of had like.
Farmers only.
Yeah.
Farmers only.
But I had a, I definitely had like a little bit of a, we've talked about it last time.
Like I'm a little bit stunted in fame and everything like that where like I don't even
know how to like talk to people on the outside of world.
I've only been in this like micro bubble of like fame and.
social media and everything.
And I'm like all fucked up.
I don't know how to like talk to people on the outside, you know.
I had like an arrested development.
I like that word.
Yeah.
My buddy,
my buddy David is on a predominantly black dating app and he's Jewish.
He's a Jewish white guy.
That's what he needs.
Wait,
does he like black women?
Yeah, of course.
And he was like,
what is this shit?
I like black women too.
Sorry.
He's like,
I applied and they accepted me.
And I,
but he's one of very few.
white dudes on the app and he's like, it's great.
Oh, I don't know how this existed.
You should absolutely go out of it.
I always say now, like, because I used to talk shit about dating apps, but it just
makes everything so much easier, just like being in the mindset of.
So, okay, so social media, like Instagram and shit, I feel like fucks people up because
it's just like there's so many options.
Everyone lives in different places.
But on a dating app, you're like finding people that are like on your same page of like being
interested in dating and just have the open mind.
of like being in a relationship as opposed to other people that if you ask them like when they're
single you're like also do you want a boyfriend a lot of times they say the same answer they say
I'm not looking for one right now but I'm focusing on me but if it comes it comes and I kind of like
hate that answer and I used to give that answer too but now it's like on a dating app it's like are
you looking for a relationship they're like yes I am looking for a relationship but if like when guys
say that they don't mean it's just that that's not the girl that which one they don't mean
If they say that they're not looking for anything serious, it's just, it's just, that's not the right girl.
I didn't say serious.
A relationship.
You know what I mean?
No, I didn't.
I heard and hear you.
I feel like when a guy tells a girl, like they're not looking for anything.
It's not, I feel like everyone is secretly looking for something.
No, she's saying that it's just a cop out to like, I don't want to be with you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, right.
Because everyone wants to end up in a relationship eventually.
But that's my point, too, even when we're talking about that answer that I just gave.
It's like, just say like, I don't.
I don't know why society is just brainwash people into having this, like, defense mechanism where
you can't say that you want a relationship. I was part of that, too. You know what I'm saying?
Like, if you really do want it deep down, like, you don't, like, everyone's afraid of being judged,
being rejected. So they have to say, if it comes, it comes. I'm just focusing on me right now.
Because they just don't want to seem like the type to be like, I'm actively, desperately, like,
looking for somebody. But I kind of feel like we all kind of should be a little bit more active
weak, like vulnerable. People don't want to feel vulnerable. Because the idea of I'm looking for it
is people fear the next thought is, well, why hasn't it found you yet? Right. Yeah. You look desperate.
But isn't there also that thought that when you're looking for something, when you're wanting for
anything, it never comes. And then when you're least expecting something, it happens. And I feel like,
again, very fortunate, never needed to go on any apps. I skipped apps. But like, I met my wife at a
We clicked. It was fun. Yeah. That was it. Like it was like a and you were young, right?
Really young. Yeah. Really young. 20 and 18. There was no pressure. There was no nothing. And like I feel
very lucky. But I also like if I was looking for something and somebody else was looking for something at some point,
don't you feel like the apps are like forcing people to settle? Like like you're looking and you're so,
I need this. I need a boyfriend. I need a boyfriend. So you're just going to do it. And then like,
I don't know. Like if you met that person in real life.
you wouldn't have just needed to do it because he didn't click.
I get you.
I get you the same.
Yeah,
well,
there's two sides of that.
Like,
first of all,
you're talking to a guy that usually hates when girls like him.
I go for,
going for girls that are like unattainable.
So I get what you're saying because you want to feel like I got somebody that like it's real.
It wasn't like that she was just looking for the next guy.
Yeah.
To like to date.
You know what I mean?
But there's not much luck in that.
You know what I mean?
If it happens,
it happens,
of course, naturally.
But there is something to,
I just think it's just meeting a normal person on a dating app.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Still will put everything into context and being like, okay, like that's how I am.
I'm looking for somebody, but I'm not going to just settle for the next fucking thing.
I'm going to, it's like finding someone with that mindset that's like ready to enter that chapter of their life.
You just, you two just happen to do that at that party.
Yeah.
And then taking that and now starting the process of like, you know, and I'm dating like with intention to marry.
So I'm like really like looking into like all different.
aspects of the relationship and seeing if it's going to work or not. And you'd be surprised,
like, I ex had a lot of people right away because I'm like, I'm not going to marry this person.
Yeah. You know, even if it like, it could be the distance thing. It could be like they live like
far away. So I get what you're saying. But I think that, I don't know, I think there's like a
happy medium between the two. Are you seeing anyone now? I mean, yeah, I'm in like the talking phase with like
14 girls. But not in like, not in like, hope they're not listening.
They definitely are. It's not in like a baller type of way. Like it's just like in an actual.
like looking for something real.
And it's not deep at all.
Like they're not coming to my house or anything.
It's just like talking.
They might live in Ohio.
They might live like a Buckeye ice cream.
Vinnie's chatting with a girl from Dayton.
Yeah, I'm dating a girl from Dayton.
Yeah.
So just like very superficial kind of things.
No one like, no one serious.
Do they know that you're looking for a relationship?
Like have you had that conversation with them?
I say it pretty.
I like to say it, you know.
I can kind of tell.
Like sometimes you just feel a different type of energy when somebody wants it.
They start to like just be intentional with you.
Yeah.
You have a new man, right?
Yeah.
It's different than like when like you have to play this game of like, oh, I just started
talking to this person.
I wonder what they feel about me.
I wonder what they're looking for, you know.
This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by Prolon.
These days, a lot of people are learning about all of the benefits of fasting, like weight loss,
mental and physical performance, and gut health, but worry about the whole not eating part.
Well, that's exactly why Prolon was created. Introducing Prolon, a revolutionary plant-based nutrition
program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting. Researched and
developed for decades at the University of Southern California Longevity Institute and backed by leading
U.S. medical centers, prolon helps promote healthy blood sugar, support cardiovascular health,
and reduce abdominal fat.
According to the CDC,
74% of the U.S. is overweight.
I knew that.
This staggering number means a majority of adults need to lose weight
and improve their metabolic health.
The good news is prolon can help.
Tired of fasting or cleanses that leave you hungry and exhausted
instead of rejuvenated and energized?
Hell yes.
Prolon is the scientifically proven meal plan solution you've been waiting for.
I did the five-day program and I feel,
Amazing. My body really thought I was fasting. Prolon really isn't like any other diet I've ever
tried because it's not a diet. It's truly science. It was incredibly convenient. They sent me
everything I needed in one box and would highly recommend to a friend. Right now, Prolon is offering

Have you ever been catfished?
Like, do you mean an actual?
I mean like you're talking to a girl.
A guy shows up?
No, like just a totally different girl.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Totally different or they just look different because of the filters and shit?
I think like look completely different.
Not like look a little different.
Yeah.
But it's the same person.
I was referring to you talking to this woman from Dayton, Ohio, and I show up.
originally. Oh, no, I've never got catfish like that. Okay. I'd actually kind of find that cool.
That would be funny. I'd be like, this is hilarious. Yeah, as long as he'll murder you.
Right. As long as it doesn't end in murder. That's the thing like, like, if a cat, if like a guy ever
showed up, I'd be like, what's up, bro? Like, I wouldn't like be like, like, that's not like,
that's not my problem. It's your problem. You know what I mean? You know, I was waiting for
Dan. It's just Dan. Yeah. Yeah. No, there was a, there was a time when I first got on TV, like,
Facebook was big back then. And I was still like a young, even though I was on TV for like a couple
months. Like I was still DeLulu. All these girls started talking to me. So I'm talking this like most
beautiful girl on Facebook. She's so beautiful like exactly my type. We're like talking every night.
It's like this whole thing. Blah blah. I'm like when I come to L.A. I'm going to meet you. And like I
used to like go to L.A. a lot. And then like it was a typical back then catfish was like revolutionary.
Like the show wasn't even out yet. Like this is just before catfish was a catfish. And it would be
the same thing. It would be like, I'll meet you here. Never showed up. One time I was like,
I took my boys. Actually, I used to be friends with like, were you friends with like the fantasy
factory? Like Rob Deerdeck and shit. I was just a fan. Oh, okay, okay. I used to go hang out with
them like at the fantasy factory. One time like a couple of them, it wasn't Rob. It was like some of the
posse. We like, we all went to like this like gas station to like I'm like, because I think I want to
meet this girl. And like at one point, the car pulls up and then it just like skids off and
shit. And still, in my Delulu world, because I was one of those catfish guys. I was like,
damn, like, maybe she just got scared.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy.
I get a fucking, it was like that documentary that was on Netflix. I get a fucking text that
Alexis died in a car crash last night. The catfish killed the character off. That's what character.
Wow, they were driving pretty quick. You never know. They might have been reckless.
It crossed my mind. I was like, damn, RIP. No, but did you see that Netflix documentary?
with the football player?
Yes.
That's what happens.
Did you see it?
No, 15 years.
Josh, did you see it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, it's called Molana.
No, like Taekwondo or something.
No, no, it was something like I'm not even.
That's Taekwondo and it's a martial art.
It's a martial art.
Oh, have we ever thought about that, Josh?
A martial art?
Oh.
Marshall.
Our producer's martial.
His name is Marshall.
Oh, when he produces.
Pretty good.
It's a martial art.
It's a martial art.
Oh, my God.
That's cool.
do that. They kill their character off when they can't catfish anymore.
That's why she came, she comes back to life in the documentary.
He's like, I thought you died.
Monte, was he, Monty Williams?
Monta, Tio.
Montaio.
Montaio.
I was close.
Yes.
Taekwondo.
It's Teo Cruz, the pop star.
By the way, I saw the girl out in a club once that the catfish was using the photos of.
Oh, my God.
Like the real girl.
And I was like, hey, like, I feel like I know you.
I kind of was being catfish by you for a couple of years.
And she was like, get away from me.
She's like, you're not my type.
You belong in the stooage.
Literally, storage.
Storage.
Steerage.
Steerage.
Yeah.
Can we talk about like when you started, like, what was the jump from Jersey Shore airs episode
one, season one, to the moment where your life is never the same?
Is it from the first episode?
Is it a few months in?
Yeah, for me.
So the show airs, and we didn't know if it was going to be like a, I didn't know what like a TV series was.
Like reality shows weren't a big thing back then.
I thought it was going to be like a one hour special on like VH1 called like Wild on the Jersey Shore.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, they used to have those kind of things?
Sure.
So that's what I thought it was.
And then like I like had this like watch party with my family.
And I like was like, holy shit.
Like I'm like a character on this show.
Like I was in like I didn't know the credits were going to.
It didn't even have a name.
Like no one knew what the fuck we were doing.
So I saw myself and then I remember like the next day I went from like zero Facebook
request to like 87.
And I was like, holy shit, I have 87 Facebook requests.
Like I'm famous.
Like I purely did this show just to get like local girls at the Jersey Shore.
Like I was 21 years old.
The money.
I didn't care about money.
Yeah.
I just cared about picking up chicks like at DJs in Belmar, New Jersey.
So to me, like, I was like, wow, like, I, you know, I made it.
And then, like, we really made it after that when, like, the cast was being flown out to L.A.
I had a little bit of a later kind of effect because at first, like, they excluded me because I was, like, the normal looking one.
So, like, I remember, like, they had, like, the Spike TV Awards and, like, Mike, Nicole and Pauly were, like, presenting with, like, Mike Tyson and Snoop Dog.
And I was like, holy fucking shit.
Like we just went from doing this like thing on the boardwalk to like at least some of us had made it.
And I was like watching them on TV.
It felt though.
You're like one day I'll be the league.
I called the producer.
I'm like, what about me?
I'll cut off my hair.
Now I'm like if they ask me to go to that.
I'm like I'm not going.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then just like more of those moments started happening.
And then like at a certain point it was just ridiculous.
We were on every late night talk show.
We were like what how it happens now with like a when something goes viral.
we were like one of the first like viral that like takes over the nation where every pod like every radio show
every TV show is talking about it you know we're on like fucking Jimmy Kimmel like every week like doing
sketches and shit so at that point like your life changes you know and a famous or a viral story
has sort of just made its way throughout sort of the phones but no so this viral story has just come
out that Mike the situation Sorrentino God bless him mentioned that after the first season
they wanted you guys to sign a contract for the second season of the show with no raise,
nothing different, and you were all sitting there. And Mike was the one who sort of spoke up
asking like, do we get a raise? What's going on? They're like, no, we'll just replace you.
And he kind of was the one who walked out and then you all followed suit and got a massive contract.
Is that true? I think that I know what interview you're referring to. Mike kind of like just
like imagined stories in his life.
So
Like the hero's arc
Wow
Like literally gave himself
A fucking hero's arc bro
Is he a little saw
What's going on?
He walked out
You fall right behind
I was like yeah
We were in a room
With no lawyers
All sitting together
So yeah
They don't pay you
But then like
The second
The third
Like it started to get to a point
Where we were kind of like
Undeniable
Where it's like
We had to like
Start striking
So we all
all went on strike, like one of the, one of the seasons. And that's what happened. And then they paid us.
So that kind of happened, but it wasn't, you know, but, but it did take, I will give him credit.
Like, it did take Mike and the bigger people to kind of, like their agencies to kind of like lead
the charge and like, you know, make this strike happen. You know what I mean? As a collective.
Can you imagine J-WOW and Vinny holding up picketing signs outside 15-15 Broadway?
I mean, that would, that's hot.
They made, I was just the bottom of the barrel.
Like they were like, oh no, I'm told, I laugh about it now because, you know, I'm the shit now.
Yeah.
It's because you stayed.
Yeah.
I get like 7,000 views, a podcast on YouTube.
Like the shit is, I'm fucking killing it right now.
But no, yeah, back then, you know, it was just like Mike and all them, they were definitely.
That's where he's getting that also from.
Like, he was the fucking star.
And, you know, it kind of, good thing.
He did become the star.
too because, again, him leading the charge on it probably got us all more money because
it can't be like, oh, we're going to give this guy a million dollars and the rest of them nothing,
you know?
Yeah.
It's interesting.
And C&I, I'd love to hear your opinion on this.
And Vinnie, please don't hate me for this.
But I have two things to say.
The first thing is we've met before.
And we were just on your podcast and you said, Josh and I have never met.
And God, that hurt.
I told you we met right through the line.
Where do we meet?
Oh, it's so much more than Runyon, young men.
God, Vinny's a narcissist.
Don't tell me there was a picture we took on a red carpet someday.
I.
At the MTV Movie Awards.
It's so deep.
It's not deep.
No way.
Get ready.
I'm ready.
Get out your shovel.
I'm ready.
Get a flashlight of the headlap.
I am getting old to where like sometimes I think I have everything memorized and I'm like,
oh my God.
Like I'm showing a photo to the people.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I see.
That's you in.
Wait, that's kind of recent.
Wait, is this, dude, why do we look like car?
Why do we look like cardboard cutouts?
You guys look great.
Where is this, Josh?
Is that MTV Studios?
I am a famous Jersey Shore super fan, and I'm not going to hide it anymore.
And I hosted a Jersey Shore after show.
Oh, shit.
You did?
A couple years ago, you were there.
Snooki was there, young Ronnie was there, and we really got a long green.
Vinny.
Nah,
yo,
I blocked those after shows
out of my brain,
bro.
I blocked those after shows
out of my brain.
He wasn't...
You were very nice.
Really?
You hosted?
Was that 15-15?
It was.
Oh, interesting.
And, like,
what were you asking us?
Like, just...
To be honest...
Can you fucking stop?
To be honest,
I want to forget it, too.
I totally shanked it
because I was so nervous
to be a...
around you guys.
Really?
More nervous than I was on Oppenheimer, I'll be honest.
What?
And also, I kept trying to be funny and they were like stick to the script.
And I was like, well, you're not utilizing my talents.
But, you know, what else is new?
Welcome to Viacom.
But anyway.
Usually we have like Justina Valentine.
Like, we always have like the same ones.
Like I wonder what the artistic choice of having you do that one, like a full special.
You know what I'm saying?
I was just, yeah, I'm just a super fan.
And they were like, we'll send you.
you to New York to do it. I went. And yeah, we had a nice time. It's okay. We didn't talk that much,
but you were very nice. And I think Ronnie got a real kick out of me. So next time you see him,
please follow up for me. Damn, sorry. I'm sorry I forgot you. I'm sorry about that. Well,
but I was really excited. I'm a big fan. So I was like, I can't believe that happened.
No, same here. Today. I was like, oh my God, Josh could be on my podcast. That's fucking sick.

We have them up on YouTube.com slash at sign unhinged.
Okay, I'm going to let you get back to the episode that you actually wanted to listen to.
Well, Sienna, I want to ask you because my wife and I did have a debate.
So now I'm going to take a little bit of embarrassment, I'll be honest,
about who was the best looking guy on the Jersey Shore?
And I originally...
She was like 12 years old.
I'm going to be honest.
I did say Polly D.
And maybe it's just the hair.
Maybe I'm into DJ.
You know, I have a thing for Diplo.
And my wife was like, no, it's clearly Vinny.
Yeah, I'm the hottest one.
And everyone knows it.
And so we opened it up to a group chat.
And the consensus was staggering, Vinny.
Wow.
You hear that, Sienna?
Tell her that because she hates me.
No, I would say when Pauli, he was young, he was very pretty.
Well, I don't know.
We all kind of looked really different.
You age, like fine wine.
But I would say in the new age, I like the man.
I like the man that I've become.
Your scruff is good.
The scruff.
You have that black eye haircut, you know.
Yeah.
The black guy haircut.
The Aaron Hernandez haircut.
Yeah.
But I didn't watch Jersey Shore growing up, actually.
I grew pretty religious.
I watched your show.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
Because I was born in 99.
What year did Drake and Josh come out?
2004?
Yeah, 2009 of the year.
So who was the hottest guy in Drake and Josh?
Who was the hottest guy in Drake and Josh?
Well, who is the hottest guy?
I wasn't in touch with my sexuality then.
I would say Miranda Cosgrove.
Just say Josh.
Oh, because she's lesbian too.
I was a lesbian.
Now we just got really deep.
Guys.
Say more, Sienna.
Say more.
Or as much as you're comfortable sharing.
No, I do comedy, so I say anything.
I thought I was a full-blown lesbian for a really long time up until 22.
And then you were just like, I just like Subaru's.
No, I'm kidding.
Yeah, no, basically.
I was like, I just like the car.
and the aesthetic.
And then I was in like a bad relationship with a girl for a while.
And then I was off shooting a movie and she was just being so toxic and trying to ruin my
whole time.
So we broke up.
And then I slept with a guy friend.
And I was like, this isn't that bad.
And then I kind of kept going.
But when I was watching your movie, I mean, your show, I think I still identified as a lesbian.
What was it like growing up religious and then dating a girl?
It was definitely not easy.
I would say I'm so close.
with my mom that she kind of had to accept what was going on because it was she going to do
like not be my mom if that makes sense but it wasn't like it wasn't like my family like was like
oh my god my god my mom was actually the most chill I had other family members that were like crying
and stuff and I was like oh my god chill but after a while because I dated girls even in high school
so it was just like okay you know are you going to accept it or not you know but I was still religious
I went to school to be a pastor wow yeah and I was like a full yeah she was going to be like
Eat pussy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then now I'm,
now I'm a comedian
who has a boyfriend.
You were going to be a pastor?
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah.
I mean,
I always wanted to perform an act.
That was like my number one thing,
but I went to school to be a pastor
just to like be able to do that as well.
I dropped out.
She was doing stand up on the pulpit.
Was that called with a fucking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The stage,
the pulpit.
That's what got you.
Yeah.
Stand up.
It's kind of the same thing.
Yeah,
being prolific.
Prolific.
I like.
like, you know, people listening to my words, you know.
Wow.
Wow.
That's freaking awesome.
Josh, we should become pastors.
Yeah, you know why I cast it.
Yeah.
I had this viral clip and he found me online.
Yeah.
How did you two meet?
And how did this podcast happen?
How did, how are,
so I was, uh, I love podcasting.
I've been trying to start a pod for a long time.
I used to have a pod back in the day with podcast one.
Back before podcasting was as big as it is now.
There was like really no like video effect to it.
I wish I would have stayed the whole time because then it would be a huge podcast now.
But I got busy doing other things, making money, doing TV.
And, you know, I just, like, want to.
And oh, and I also, like, I never really lived in Manhattan for a long time.
Like, I lived in Staten Island.
So Staten Island, you know, like, you'd have to, like, take a fucking bus into the city.
And it wasn't as accessible to, like, people.
And anyway, so I started to live in the city.
And I was like, all right, when I live in the city, I want to do two things that I love.
I want to do stand up and I want to do podcasting and I want to start a podcast.
Also at the same time, like studios like this opened up where you could just go in and just pay and rent the space.
So you didn't have to like find like a production team.
So everything was kind of like lining up.
But then like creatively I'm like, no, like I still want somebody to to be there with me.
Like I want like a Robin to the Howard Stern.
I don't think I don't like just like I like energy.
I like funny people like create like a great.
green room type of effect.
And yeah, no, I just like, I always have my eye on, like, New York comics.
She had a clip that went viral that is hilarious.
I don't know if you guys, you probably guys probably saw it.
It was about, was it, the white guy.
Oh, I was just doing like crowd work.
The white guy said he was mixed.
Yeah, he was like, I'm mixed and he was like German and English.
And I'm like, you're white, whatever you're.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I was like, so, but the whole thing, I was like, as soon as like you look at a,
at a comic or someone that's going viral, the first thing usually you see them is having a
podcast.
Everyone has a fucking podcast.
So it's hard to find people that are going to do a podcast.
And she didn't have one.
And I was like, hey, do you want to like.
So anyway, so like we went out.
We had a couple.
We had a little mini date for like a business date.
It was a business date.
And I just really liked our chemistry.
I thought she was great.
I think she's so.
I love like, I could like say anything in front of her.
Like my favorite thing she ever said to me was she was like, you never have to
apologize.
Because a couple times sometimes I'd make like, I'm fucking crazy.
So I make like dark jokes and shit.
And I'll be like, I'm sorry I said that.
And she'd be like, don't ever apologize.
Like, you can say anything to me.
And I was like, all right.
Like, I know I have like a real one, you know?
So, yeah, it's been, it's been fun.
Wow.
So why aren't you guys in love?
Oh, God.
That's a good question.
I don't know.
Why aren't we in love?
Well, Vinny likes women that are shaped the opposite of me.
I do have like a physical type.
Yes.
And it's very strict.
What is it?
It's, uh, it's thick.
Like thick, thick.
It's thick.
It's like junk on the, in the trunk.
Like, you know what I mean?
like a fucking big booty stripper from Queens.
Yeah.
Not she is a stripper.
That's like the physical type.
That's usually what I like.
And, um,
hi.
And then Vinnie's also not my type.
You know,
I like normal guys.
Yeah.
I don't think she likes.
Civilians.
Yeah.
I like a dad bod normal guy who like makes me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know.
CBS pharmacy tech,
a regional manager for an H&R block.
With money.
You know what I mean?
But you're right.
though, like we do have like love for each other like from doing this and everything. Like,
um, she's really good to talk to. Shut up. And we text each other like we were in a relationship
pretty much without actually, you don't have to like be having sex to like be in some sort of
relationship like with a friend. But it has stopped a little bit because she has a boyfriend now.
Well, she left me in the dust. And you know what? I don't care because that's good. As, as your boyfriend,
I wouldn't want you like texting. Exactly. Especially you. Dirty ass Vinny. Yeah. We were
on my phone and he popped up like at like 1 a.m. He's texting me. Yeah. And I have my ringer on and
he was like, what's going on? I've broken up so many relationships from not even doing anything.
I've like, I've like not met girls before and I've caused fights between relationships just from
them following me. That's so insane. I mean, it's the whole thing of like, can girls and guys be friends,
which I totally think that they can. But there's, you can be friends anyone just not Vinnie from
the Jersey show. Yeah. Yeah. Girls and guys really can't, can't be friends. No. I'm so. I just, I just,
I just don't, I wish that they could.
Hot take, Ben.
I know what you mean.
I wish that they could, but when you're married, you're then married,
you're friends with other married friends.
Yes.
It's like the evolution of, it's very, very rare to have a married guy that just has a single girl friend.
That they just hang out.
You're right.
It's very, very rare.
Like, I think, Josh.
I was just saving our relationship just now is it.
I think it's hard for,
guy to have a single female friend because we I think we confuse intimacy and attraction like
when you connect with someone as a guy like you you think well why not explore the physical side
too it's there and we seem to be getting on great whereas that might not even cross the girl's mind
yeah that actually makes a lot yeah I don't know I kind of just see it as like um you just like move a little
bit differently when you're in a relationship, like both people, like, I'm going to move the same,
I'm going to move differently with my guy friends, with my girlfriends. I expect both people to kind of
want to do that. But I've been on a lot of dates recently, especially in New York, where they truly do
see it as like an existential threat. If you mention like a guy friend, a girlfriend, if you mention.
Another girl. If you mention, what? Another girl. No, no, no, no. I was going to say if you mention some
sort of, not problem. I don't want to seem like controlling or anything, but if you just mentioned
giving it a little bit, giving it a little bit of a head tilt, if a girl expects to have the same
exact relationship with her guy friends as she does in the relationship, they really get like,
it's like taking candy away from a baby. What do you mean? So like, let's just say a girl has his
guy friend that when she's single, she does everything with. She goes on dates with. He sleeps at
her house, they go to after parties together and blah, blah, blah. So if you're telling me about your
guy friend on the date, like almost without even me saying anything, like the girl starts to
get really defensive about it, because you could tell she's been on this date before. And she's
like, yeah, but he would never do anything and this and that, blah, blah, blah. And I'll just be like,
I don't know, just like a respect kind of thing, like intimate situation. Don't, don't disconnect
them at all. Like still be friends with him. But like intimate situations when you're by yourself.
And as soon as you say that, they really get.
mad. Like they really get and I'm just like, I don't try to fight it anymore. I'm just like,
we're not going to see eye to eye on this because like I just want to be with someone that's
being like, oh, yeah, no, of course. Like I'm married to you now. Like I'm not going to have the same
relationship with them. I'm not going to sleepover with Jeff. Yeah, that's weird. They want
sleepovers with Jeff. No, but if they want sleepovers with Jeff, then they're not right for Vinny.
That's all I'm saying. We don't want the girls to want the sleepovers with Jeff. Right, Josh,
no sleepovers with Jeff. Yeah. And you know, the, the way you're describing Vinny, you're the
you know, girl from Queens, you know, well, let's just say, well proportioned.
I want to be, you know, respectful.
I want them out of proportion.
It sounds like Angelina.
Does it not sound a little like Angelina?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Could not be further.
I see what you did there, you scumbag.
I love it, Biddy.
We are going to stay friends.
No, yeah.
You're going to remember me this time.
I know, I know, yeah.
I have a question.
No, it's not Angelina, bro.
Wait, well, did you ever, though, I believe you.
But because the people, we love it, right?
The push-pull of that.
Oh, yeah.
Just, did you guys ever lean into it for the show, or was it always natural?
Like, obviously, you had to know that people loved watching that.
No, well, it all stems from us having sex on the show.
Right.
Say more.
Didn't you know about that super fan?
Oh, I know.
Oh, you know?
Okay.
So what's with that question?
No, I'm fine.
Yeah, we, we hate fucked on the show.
We weren't talking to each other for like a week because everyone just fought with Angelina back then.
And, you know, everybody was like taking this other approach like, I hate her.
I'm never going to talk to her again, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, you know what I'm going to do?
You have a Vinnie will fuck anything, you know?
No, no.
It was like a-
I mean, that sounded bad, but you know what I'm saying?
It felt like it felt wrong but right at the same time.
that we both hated each other.
And then one night we were just like drunk and just like.
So guys and girls can't be friends.
Literally proving my point.
But it's on the guy though.
You know what I mean?
Like I could have a guy friend and I repulsed by the idea of him.
It's more like, oh, that guy secretly wants to sleep with you.
But then what's the point of being his friend?
You don't have enough friends?
Talk to your fucking, talk to your mom and talk to your fucking cousins.
Most comedians are guys.
But those aren't friends.
Those are coworkers.
coworkers, right.
Because there's a huge difference.
You can be friends with somebody.
You can be like coworker friends for sure.
Yeah.
Like that's the loophole.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
But a non-comic, just random guy that you're not attracted to, Jeff that works at the 7-Eleven.
You don't need Jeff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She would never be friends with a guy that works at 7-E11.
But is it also based on like how attractive they are?
Like I was like this guy and his girl best friend was like hot.
And I was like, there's no way I could date this guy.
Like just their picture.
where like, no, he can still be friends with her, but just not the sleepovers, not the after parties.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, just, because I always say, too, I'm like, if I date this model from the proportionate model from Queens, you know, if she's working, you know what I mean?
Not stripping, but if she's a model or something and like literally she's on an island somewhere, half naked, I would not care at all because I'm like, she's working.
Yeah.
part of the job.
The guy could be fanning,
a guy could be fanning her with his dick.
Maybe that's a little extreme.
But I would be like,
like not even for a second,
do I get jealous or anything like that?
But just at some point,
there's just like a respect thing
that starts to just become weird to me
where it's like,
I'm going to this club tonight
and my boy,
I'm going to go meet him.
And it's his section with his friends
that I don't know.
Why is you at the club?
Why are you at the club?
Why are you at the club?
You're at the conference.
comedy club, right? But yeah, my guy. Yeah. Yeah. You guys are in love for sure. Yeah, we're in love. One day. We always say if we're not, if we're not married by 30. See, this is what the people say. Yeah. You guys. Yeah, you can't be friends if you have a boyfriend. Yeah. You can't. You got to ditch the boyfriend. Should we get to what do you not spend? We should. We should. Josh, would you like to go first? You want me to go first. And remember, people, places and things, gripes with humanity. And
you see some woman on the street doing something stupid.
And you're like, what are you nuts?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are you nuts?
I can go first.
Okay.
Go for it.
Memorial Day weekend in the city.
First of all, the best time to be in the city.
Ghost town.
No one's here.
No traffic.
No nothing.
Fantastic.
I go into my Dwayne Reed, which is like for, we have a lot of listeners ever, a CVS, whatever, Hudson News.
And I'm checking out.
And woman storms in.
She goes up to the cashier and she says, can I get a New York Post?
He's like, we don't sell the New York Post here.
She's like, no, no, no, no, no York Post.
I need the New York Post.
Can I have a New York Post?
Like, Lady, we don't sell New York Post here.
We have the New York Times here.
If you want a New York Post, you can go somewhere else.
She says, but my boyfriend loves the New York Post.
I need to get my boyfriend the New York Post.
Lady, what are you nuts?
Leave this cashier alone.
He doesn't do inventory.
He doesn't order the papers.
He doesn't say USA Today.
He doesn't say New York Times.
He doesn't say New York Post.
He sells what's there.
He sells what's there.
Why are you telling him that your boyfriend loves it?
the New York Post.
No one cares.
Who gives a shit
that your boyfriend loves
a New York Post?
Especially the guy
that's about to check you out.
He doesn't order the posts.
I thought that was not.
I thought they still sell newspapers.
She's never had a normal job.
That's also a good call.
It was very strange.
There was a New York Times
out on the counter at Duane Reed.
Yeah.
But yeah, no.
She was just mad at him.
Like, there's nothing he could do.
What the hell is he supposed to know?
He doesn't order the newspaper.
He can't make a newspaper appeal to this lady's boyfriend.
No, he's just like, I don't have the post,
lady.
Like, what are you asking me?
Why are you asking me?
I don't have my boyfriend.
You have one too, son?
Yeah, I don't have it.
I don't have it.
That's a good one.
My, what do you nuts moment has to do with the check at a meal.
I think the check is being handled incorrectly.
The check needs to come right as the entrees are put down.
Why?
Let's handle it now.
Because when I sit down, I can't get rid of you.
Can I get you an appetizer?
Would you like to start with a diet?
drink. Let me get you some drinks. Have you looked at the menu yet? No, sir, I'm with my person.
We're talking. Give me a minute. How many times have you said, I'm going to need a few minutes?
Yeah, we're just going to need a couple minutes, right? We all do that. All of a sudden, the
entrees come, they go on break. They're going across the street to go try to get the New York
Post. Never see them again. I never see them. I'm doing this. I'm going, I'm like,
then I have to go to the other waiter and say, hey, can you tell, can they please? Now, I,
I know what you're thinking. What if you want dessert and coffee? Leave it open. I'm going to give
you my credit card. Let's close it out now. I'll sign it. I'll give you a nice tip. I sign it.
And we leave it open. I get a taramisu at it. Or I can get the hell out of here when I'm done with
my chicken and rice. What are you nuts? I don't want to wait an extra 30 minutes for that check.
How about Josh? We just at the beginning of the meal, give our card. I guess you can do that.
We give our card. And then I'm going to leave.
Like you open up a tab.
You open up a tab.
You pick the gratuity up front because let's face it, even if the waitress is terrible right now, it's 20%.
No matter what.
If it's bad, if it's good, 20.
Minimum.
Charge me.
I'm going to walk out whenever I want to.
You have my card.
Add the gratuity.
It's almost like one of those Amazon shopping things where you don't even need anything anymore.
You just walk in and walk out.
You know, you just order on a screen.
Would you rather that than a server?
No, I like the server.
Do you like the, like the, I like the theater of it?
Yeah.
The iPad at the table thing.
You could pay your bill on there.
You also play games.
I do like that.
A little photo hunt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A little matching game.
Oh, we don't have to talk.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah, I hope you do that with your new boyfriend.
Yeah.
Vinnie, Sienna.
You want me to go first?
Yeah, go.
You got this.
Okay.
Oh, actually, you reminded me, I went to get like a water at a cafe.
And she handed me the water.
and then it was like a bottle of water
Yeah
No but she flipped it
What the fuck up
Look I didn't think about this
But this was actually crazy story
I mean it's actually not that crazy
But she flipped the tip thing around
And then she was like
Like a tip whatever you want
Like she said like her little spiel
But I was like are you not thinking
You just handed me a water
I think it's a little crazy to tip on just a bottle
That's what are you nuts
Tipping culture's nuts
The iPads are nuts
And she like
she probably says it whenever, like, you know, she gets someone a latte, like, this is where
you tip a while.
She flipped it over.
But then, like, I was like, you just handed me a water.
Yeah.
Are they flipping for the signature or they just want an excuse to get a tip?
I think they want an excuse to get a tip.
Yeah.
Since when do we need to sign for water bottles?
Right.
The whole point of signing is.
I've never had a sign before for this shit.
Signing is to prove if you claim fraud that you knew that you bought something.
Oh.
That's why they get your signatures.
That's literally wise.
When you call American Express and say, fuck that, that wasn't me.
They're like, but I have your signature.
Yeah.
Nobody's ever done that for a Poland spring.
No.
Right.
But isn't that crazy that she even said her spiel?
And I was like, I literally have just a water that you grabbed.
I could have grabbed it too.
It makes you feel bad, but it's like, it's not my fault that they don't pay you here.
Yeah.
That's the problem like that.
It's not on me.
Not on us.
Like a coffee's not even.
First, coffee's eight, nine dollars.
I got latte yesterday.
It was $9 an oatmeal latte.
Right.
On top of that, tipping.
That's in, that's, you like a latte?
I do.
We spoke about this recently.
Do you know what a latte is?
There's a lot of milk.
It's just a cup of milk.
It's just a cup of milk.
Yeah, too much milk.
Too much milk.
Too much milk.
That's my cappuccinos are better.
Yeah.
Okay, I got one.
So I had like a flyout situation with this girl recently.
You know the story.
Oh yeah.
I fire her out like first class everything like black car, blah, blah, blah.
I take her to like Broadway shows like red carpet like everything.
and I'll not make this too long, but there was a point where she was going to a designer store
to buy a really expensive item for herself, right?
So, like, she wanted to do that because I live in Soho and there's a lot of nice stores there.
And, like, as a joke, I said, expecting her to just totally just laugh and just be like, of course not.
I said, I'm not going to buy you these, right?
she got really offended
and she was like, so why do you want to come to the store with me then?
And I was like, what are you nuts?
I'm not buying you these things.
I just met you.
This is date two.
I already blew you out, first class, gave you the world, spent thousands of dollars, but because I didn't.
You took her to Michael Jackson the musical.
Stop with the details.
Oh, sorry.
I'm trying to make the, I'm trying to make the, I'm trying to make the,
really broad.
This is why I don't bring her on podcast.
Does I don't bring her podcast?
But she wanted some really expensive shit.
And I'm just like, I don't buy superficial gifts like that until I'll do everything.
I'll pay for everything.
Never pay a bill.
This and that.
But the gift, that's like wifey type shit.
That's not like second date type shit.
No, that's gold digger type shit.
And I said that to her too.
You call her a gold digger?
I said that's some, well, weeks later.
Was this before or after the Michael Jackson?
This was after.
After she goes home.
Why do I know that?
She goes home and I thought that it was going to be like, I thought that she was going to kind of realize like, oh, what did I do?
Like, why did I, you know, make that weird with him?
She doubled down on it.
She goes, yeah, I'm not talking to you anymore because you didn't want to buy me those things.
And I was just like, I'm like, that's some like sugar daddy escort type shit.
Yeah, you're like, I caught a huge break.
Yes.
Yeah.
I found that out on beat two.
Yeah.
I'm telling you guys that and we have like normal brains, but does not, did not compute at all for her.
She was totally fine with even saying that to me.
I feel like she just watched a lot of TikTok and this is how you should be treated by man type stuff.
And she said that's what I'm used to.
Yeah.
That's not what you're, you'll get gifts when you're a good partner.
Maybe you pick the wrong girl too.
Of course.
That's true.
I always do.
You know what someone told me once recently, this girl who's very into, she's like a reformed like while and out girl.
So she knows about them, but she's like mature and older.
now. And I'm like, how come I can't get these girls that, you know, so and so gets like some
athlete or something like that. She was like probably because they know that like they can't
exploit you for money. Like they can't take advantage of you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
And I was like, oh yeah, maybe you're right because I don't know if I give it off or something like that.
But like. Yeah, even the way you reply to comments is you give it off. Yeah. No, because maybe they're
used to the guys like date like like sentence two. Yeah. Being like hey like like like you slide in the DM.
you get the heart emoji, they'd be like, what's your address so I can like send you a burkin.
You know what I don't do that.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
And, you know, she had just been humble and said, I'm just going to treat myself to a coach bag.
You might have said, you know, this girl.
Yes.
I'll give you everything.
That's my speed.
No, you would have said, this girl has no class.
Yeah.
Baby, you're the problem, bet.
I would have said, baby.
Hey, no state coach.
That's a joke, man.
I know.
I would have said, put down the coach bag.
I'll get you a Michael Corny.
You know what I'm saying?
I got you.
Big Daddy Vinny got you.
You know, we'll graduate.
Plot to us, Vinny couldn't afford what she went.
I'm kidding.
No, I can.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You're right.
No, she's right.
I can't.
I can't.
Ladies, only coach from now on.
