    • “I just don't want my... I just don't want to introduce that. But... I think it's about time do it on my terms.” (Sal, 19:55)
    • Expresses his protective instincts, concerns over privacy, dealing with obsessed fans and stalkers.
  • Gives emotional advice to Heath, who’s about to become a dad:
    • “There really aren't words to describe it. It's inexplainable... imagine having a feeling that you’ve never had before at 45, and it's just completely unlocked something new.” (Sal, 23:13)
  • On not feeling attached before birth: “Totally normal. When your kid comes, you'll feel it—but you'll also never stop being surprised they exist.” (Sal, 24:10)

3. Tattoo Disasters & Impractical Jokers Regrets

• Hilariously bizarre tattoo stories [32:32–42:06]:
  • Sal’s infamous Jaden Smith thigh tattoos—an "arbitrary punishment" from Impractical Jokers:
    • “I didn’t know what it was gonna be... Four hours later... it was a 15-year-old Jaden Smith. Which I have no relation to at all... he's my Louise.” (Sal, 36:12)
  • Meeting Jaden Smith in a Batman costume at Comic-Con, and later having to update the tattoo live with Jaden himself:
    • “I was upset because, like, one is enough, you know? There's a real big difference between one and two. With two they’re like, ‘I think that man poses a threat to that kid’.” (Sal, 41:23)
  • Biggest regret: Permanent, odd tattoos for comedy:
    • “The joke is, it's permanent. And so, I commit to the joke... that’s my regret, it's a permanent one.” (Sal, 41:44)
  • The doctor mistaking his tattoos for LeBron James and Steph Curry:
    • “Who's the other man?” (Doctor)
    • “No, actually that's not, he's not the man, cause that's a boy. And then he was like, what?” (Sal, 45:09)

4. Life as a Meme

• Going viral unintentionally [54:00–57:53]:
  • Sal’s awkward photo—originally the “worst photo I’ve ever taken”—became a viral meme used everywhere from college dorms to fraternity banners, tapestries, even on cakes and mugs.
  • “I see it everywhere. Bumper stickers, mugs, everything. I have a mug with it because I bought someone else’s.” (Sal, 57:35)

6. New Ventures & Embracing Absurdity

• Launching a talk show “Minouche” [64:25–67:28]:

  • Guests will get questions like “Have you ever shoved somebody on Black Friday?”—breaking away from typical PR interviews.

7. Late-in-life Hobbies & Celebrating Aging

• Sailing [72:46–78:13]:
  • Sal has recently started taking sailing lessons as a deliberate step outside his comfort zone.
  • “I realized, I thought I wanted to do it, but... I'm more of a pontoon guy.” (Matt, 78:54)
  • The technical language and expense are discussed, but Sal found an affordable local nonprofit.
  • Sailing as therapy: “It’s the only thing I can be thinking about... brings me such peace.” (Sal, 76:53)
• Reinventing nightlife [85:04–88:18]:
  • Praises “grown-up” dance parties starting at 6 PM and ending by 10 PM, providing night-life for people who want to go out but be in bed by eleven.

Tone & Atmosphere

The energy is irreverent, playful, and honest—self-deprecation and absurd humor run throughout. The group’s chemistry leads to plenty of side-tracking, many inside jokes, and a confessional, unguarded rapport, especially whenever Sal recounts personal failures or surreal moments from his career.

---

Conclusion

Fans will find exclusive insights on the hidden costs of prank comedy, the permanent marks left behind (literally and figuratively), and a celebration of doing things “for the bit,” even when it backfires.

[Sal Volcano]

Before we start anything. How's the cancer?

[Matt]

I'm clear.

[Zane]

I've been thinking about it ever since one time.

[Heath]

Cancer was funny, I think. Matt, I'm just gonna say it.

[Matt]

What?

[Heath]

I miss your mustache.

[Matt]

You know what? I've been thinking about regrowing it.

[Heath]

I think it's that time too. I think it's that time.

[Matt]

It's fall. I gotta figure out though how long it took me to grow that mustache. I need to go back on my camera roll and see from the moment of growth and. And then when it was like proper.

[Heath]

It was short lived.

[Zane]

It keeps you younger too.

[Matt]

You think so?

[Zane]

Yeah. And it's also good for the fall, you know, like autumn.

[Heath]

Beard, mustache, little PSL stuck up in.

[Zane]

There, hot chocolate, heroin. It all goes together nice for the.

[Matt]

Fall season because I don't ever think I got it properly like groomed too. Like I never went to like a mustache man to like, you know, I was just kind of free ball in it in the way I was just grooming.

[Zane]

You never had like a thick mustache though, right?

[Matt]

No, it never was like that. That thick.

[Zane]

Just like kind of a little patchy, just a little like subtle.

[Matt]

Have you ever gone full stash?

[Zane]

This? I mean, what do you like? I feel like this is pretty full stash.

[Matt]

Solo stash.

[Zane]

Oh, just, just. No, no. So what I don't like about my facial, it's. It's the beard area, not my mustache. So I'd rather get my. Must get rid of my mustache on my beard. Okay. My beard is like, keeps me. It's like my. It's just my clothes. Like I cannot leave without my clothes. On. I cannot leave without a beard. On. I've tried it before. I did it twice. One, I had to do the prosthetics for that video. And the other time, I just. I think I just went too far one. One time, and. And I just cut too much, and I look terrible. Like, I. I can. I just. There's something. You know, and what's crazy is that that's. That's me.

[Heath]

Shouts out to all the guys out there that rock a clean shave, though.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Heath]

I respect it so much.

[Zane]

Well, it's because they.

[Sal Volcano]

It's because they.

[Heath]

Because they look good. That's probably what it is.

[Zane]

But, like, me, I am not attracted.

[Heath]

Me thinking this little caterpillar is helping me out.

[Matt]

I'm just like, yeah, it's good, though. You have a good mustache. You rock a mustache.

[Heath]

Thank you. You know, trying it. I'm. I'm on and off with it.

[Matt]

I'm trying to think why I shaved. Mine was there.

[Zane]

Oh.

[Matt]

Patricia had a brand deal with Harry's, and that was like, her whole shtick was that she wanted to shave with Harry's. Yeah. Harry's razors.

[Zane]

Do they. But do they make a woman's razors?

[Matt]

No, but I think that they do go at the angle that, like, the razors are so good that, like, girls steal the razors. Got it.

[Zane]

They should put an S in front of it.

[Heath]

Sherry's.

[Matt]

Oh, there you go. Share it up.

[Zane]

Exactly. I think just like. Or, like, share the. Share the razor.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Zane]

I don't know. I like it.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Zane]

I might bring it back before the next Harry Styles concert. Exactly. Were telling us how there was there, like, when they all used to go to, like, the One Direction concerts. They would, like, the girls would, like, shave themselves bald. Just when they're in the back row of the concert thinking that somehow on.

[Matt]

The off chance they have a chance.

[Zane]

Isn't that crazy?

[Matt]

With one of the members of the.

[Zane]

Band and they were like, 13, 14. They're like, no, we were shaving ourselves bald. Like, that's crazy.

[Matt]

Speaking of concerts, I went to Benson Boone's concert.

[Zane]

Wait, like, it was just. Just his concert.

[Matt]

It was just his concert.

[Sal Volcano]

I didn't know you were a fan like that.

[Matt]

No, no. Patricia had, like, a brand thing. We got.

[Zane]

It's okay, Matt. It's. If you're a Benson Boone's fan, then.

[Matt]

I mean, Benson Boone. I go back and forth. I think Benson Boone. I think he needs to start smoking cigarettes. I think he needs to start getting tattoos, and I think he needs to just get arrested. And just drink a little bit.

[Zane]

Just imagine him like being tackled by the police.

[Heath]

He's like, imagine him trying to do those flips up there drunk.

[Matt]

Oh, good point, good point.

[Zane]

But then he lands it though. He's up and lands. It was like kind of sick.

[Matt]

Maybe. Maybe he should, I don't know, do it on your off nights then. Benson. But phenomenal vocals.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Best vocals I think I've seen live in a long time since maybe Beyonce.

[Heath]

What was his cover?

[Matt]

His cover he did was oh my gosh. And it was a song. I didn't know that well. I think it was a Beatles song. I didn't know. I didn't even know the. The song of the COVID that he.

[Zane]

That was probably when you're getting a drink.

[Matt]

You know what? I have a thing with. I. This is my complaint about Benson Boone. I'm gonna call him out.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, you should.

[Matt]

You guys listen, thank your band and acknowledge your band individually. Like Harry Styles, when you see him live, he's like, let's give it up for my drummer Zach. And then we got Jerry on the keys.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

And we got this girl on the bass. And there's a whole like camaraderie to it.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Vincent Boone didn't acknowledge him for them for the whole show until like the very end. They come at the like the last 15, 20 minutes.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

And everyone's like, Matt, he's finally going to do it. I'm like, great. He just goes, give it up for my band, guys. And we're like, woo. All right, next song. And goes on like this whole 10 minute monologue about some kid in the audience dating somebody.

[Zane]

Maybe, maybe him and the band were like fighting or something.

[Heath]

Maybe they just were temporary or.

[Matt]

Or they just disposable. Like it's all there. Like he could just switch them up whenever he wants but just honor them individually because he. People want to say, oh, he's the next Freddie Mercury. But I'm like, Freddie Mercury was great because he had Queen.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Like they had bands behind them. They loved their band. Acknowledge your band, Benson Boon.

[Heath]

Take it. Take it back to being the artist and then a funky name for your group. Like the whole band. Yeah, like Benson Boone and the Crickets.

[Zane]

Or like, you know, dude, I fuck with that.

[Heath]

Call the band something.

[Zane]

Bring it back.

[Sal Volcano]

Bring it back.

[Heath]

They all used. Back in the day they all used to have like a name for their.

[Zane]

Yeah, it's not just you. You got a whole team behind you that's making your make, making you right.

[Matt]

And I know if it's like Adele. Adele doesn't even need to, like, shout them out individually because she's, like, carrying all the vocals.

[Zane]

That's just.

[Matt]

His vocals are such rock. And without that, you know, you have a whole band.

[Sal Volcano]

How old is he?

[Matt]

Oh, good question. I'm 24, 25.

[Zane]

Why? He's young.

[Matt]

He's young, but just call out.

[Zane]

Oh, he's.

[Heath]

That's.

[Zane]

Well, that's why he's not in his crazy phase yet. He's young. Oh, once he hits 27, he's gonna be popping molly. He's gonna be doing all kinds of before getting on stage. Trust, trust he will.

[Matt]

Okay, I'm down for it. I mean, I was very impressed, but that was my only complaint. I think Benson Boone.

[Zane]

Benson Boob. Has anybody. I deadass didn't even think about that until, like five, five minutes ago. I was like, benson Boob. Like, has there been anything with that yet? Not that I've seen like, or like Megan, you see from Drake and Josh, just like, Benson Boob. Like, imagine she just makes a video. That's funny. If I was Benson, I'd be like, hey, what's your name?

[Matt]

Megan Josh Miranda Cosgrove.

[Zane]

Miranda Cosgrove.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Yes. That is a PR moment. You gotta think. You gotta think outside the box.

[Matt]

Of course. What a lovely name.

[Heath]

Submit it.

[Matt]

Is that his real name? Oh, yeah, it is. Benson James Boone Benson. Benson's a lovely name. I don't get why more people don't name their kid Benson. That's a nice name.

[Heath]

It's surprising he didn't start going by Ben.

[Matt]

No. Yeah, Ben Boone.

[Zane]

Boone. I don't know. That doesn't really flow.

[Matt]

Ben. Benjamin Boone.

[Zane]

Ben Boone.

[Matt]

God.

[Sal Volcano]

But he was.

[Zane]

He was, I think get rid of the ne. Ben Sambu.

[Heath]

You're really trying to shape his career right now.

[Zane]

Dude, I would kill for my last name. Zane.

[Sal Volcano]

Boo.

[Heath]

What's the. Have you. What's the coolest last name that you've met somebody?

[Matt]

Like, oh, gosh. Last name.

[Zane]

That's really tough because the last thing could be anything. It could be like a.

[Heath]

No, but like, somebody that you've, like, met that, you know, that has, like, you're like, damn, that's probably the best last name I've heard.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, shit.

[Matt]

But it's like, what makes a good last name? Like, it's just the uniqueness of it as well.

[Heath]

I have a friend in Florida, last name Champion.

[Matt]

Oh, yeah.

[Heath]

I think that is the coolest. Dude, no matter what you do in life, if you name any business after yourself, Champion.

[Zane]

Well, There is a business called Champion. That's probably what his last name was. Champion.

[Sal Volcano]

The clothing.

[Matt]

There you go. Or also Champion. Really heir to the Matt Champion of Brock Hampton. When we met, though, cuz, like, my name is Matt King, he's Matt Champion. We both were like, is that really your last name? Cuz, like, sometimes big dicking each other. Is it my last name? They think it was just some vine name I gave myself. But yeah, it was cool. We were like, is that your real thing? That Matt Champion. Matt King. It's a nice moment.

[Zane]

It's like the. It's like the Illuminati having a conversation. Oh, my God. We're both at the top.

[Heath]

Matt loves them. We hate him.

[Sal Volcano]

I. I don't like him. It feels like. Like a. A weak person is squeezing me for 90 minutes.

[Zane]

Yeah. And it's really overstimulating, too, like, hearing, like, the voices like that. Like, it's Too much for me. I can't, like, think.

[Matt]

I like hearing just the sound of my voice with them because other podcasts that I do, when I don't have them, I see clips of me and I can't hear myself and I'm like, my gosh, who is that man? It keeps me just a little, you.

[Zane]

Know, so you hear before and then you're fine with your voice and listen to it on.

[Matt]

They removed it. No more basal cell carcinoma. Thank you very much.

[Zane]

I've been thinking about it ever since.

[Matt]

I was driving here and I was like, what did we talk about last time? We did talk about the cancer. I wonder if he remembers.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, I still wanted to, like, quickly watch the last episode. I'm not like, bringing up the same goddamn stories, but we'll see. You're good.

[Zane]

You're good. I was even thinking we even brought that off. We're like, oh, my God, is he going to, like, what if he just lost somebody with cancer? Like, it's just not going to land because it's cancer. Cancer is like. It could be, you know, it could be really sad. But it was awesome.

[Sal Volcano]

We love. I'm good.

[Heath]

The one time cancer was funny, I think.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Nice to be in the music studio with you guys here.

[Matt]

Thank you very much. Cool.

[Zane]

Yeah. You're breaking it in as our first guest, so thank you for that.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, right on. Yeah. Thanks for having me back. I had such a good time. I'm like, when I go back next time, I got to hit you guys up, man.

[Zane]

Yes.

[Heath]

Yeah. Thanks for reaching out again. And you're in town for a couple days, right?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, yeah.

[Matt]

Very cool.

[Sal Volcano]

Doing the rounds.

[Heath]

Nice.

[Sal Volcano]

Seeing some people. It sounds so important. Seeing some people.

[Heath]

Think it's a bunch of meetings.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Just trying to get the word out about my spouse. That's really. I mean, about my tour. That's really, really.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Cool.

[Heath]

Cool. And you're going on tour next month, right? Or end of this month?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. So I started this tour in September of 24 and I'm going through till 27. I'm just always adding dates.

[Heath]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

I took a three month hiatus because I wrapped up season 12 of impractical jokers. I wanted some downtime with my, my family. So now I'm just about to hit it hard again. Starting like October, late October.

[Heath]

Right, right.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. So, yeah, I'm going. I mean, I'm going. By the time this is done, I'll probably have done maybe a hundred and one hundred twenty cities or something like that. Oh, wow.

[Zane]

Yeah, it's amazing.

[Matt]

Have you gone to all 50 states? Have you hit them all?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I, I might not have gone to Montana or one of the Dakotas, but other than that.

[Matt]

Yeah, if you're in Montana or the Dakotas, let's get those volcano fans up.

[Zane]

Do you count, like going to a city just for a tour, like flying in for a show and then flying out as visiting the city or visiting the state? Because I guess I don't, I usually.

[Sal Volcano]

Don'T, but I mean I've done it for so long that at one point, if I'm in and out this time there's definitely been like, I've stayed in each city.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

So. But yeah, no, it's a lot of people. You get to see everything. I'm like, I'll tell you what I see. I see the jet bridge, the plane, the Uber.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

You know, the hotel. Yeah, the Uber.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Backstage. And then that, that in reverse, it's.

[Zane]

Like, it's like a once. It's like when you get a one stop flight, it's the same thing to me. It's like you're flying into the airport, you're not seeing anything, you're not like enjoying it and you're just back on a plane immediately.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, yeah. So that, that can, that can be rough. But I try to do it like, I'll try to like strategically book a weekend so that like, if I fly somewhere Friday. Right. What I'll do is if I can drive to the next town, I'll drive right after my Friday show. So I'm, I'm waking up in the next city the day of. So I have that full day and then I go the next day, a late checkout. And so I, I get like at least one city in for like two days.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Where I could like go see some like, sites or museum or whatever the hell, you know.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Are you a loyalist to any, like, hotel when you're traveling all around? Are you a bit of like a snob? You need a certain like, type of.

[Sal Volcano]

I'm not a snob. I need to be clean.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Zane]

You know when you wanted that order, when you get, I asked, I text the styles like, hey, any specific drinks or snacks that you like on set? He sends me all this from, like, Erewhon. It's like the chocolate cover. Pretzel, sieta chips. And in my head, I was like, I, like, I was like, oh, I don't know if this is a joke. And in my head I was like, oh, my God. I think he's serious. I think he wants us to go to Erwan right now.

[Heath]

A gallon of milk.

[Zane]

And it was, would you ask for a cortada and almond milk? I was like, where the fuck does he think we're going?

[Sal Volcano]

I waited one minute because I was like, I'll let you. I'll let you wrestle with this in your mind.

[Zane]

I was driving, dude. I'm looking at my phone. I'm like, I gotta go to the grocery store. And I know Jared is like, like, setting up. And I was like, oh, my God, I have to really stop and get this shit now. You texted that immediate. I was like, thank God.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. No, because I thought it was so kind of you to even ask that. You're like, is there any specific drinks or snacks you would like? Yeah, and I, like, would never even, like, you know, I was writing back. That's so kind.

[Zane]

No.

[Sal Volcano]

And I was like, wait, what am I doing? I'm gonna fuck with him right now. So I started sending very specific. I was like, siete multigrain chocolate chips with vanilla flavor. And then I'm like, for reference, I start sending the links, Eminem's, but only the red.

[Matt]

We're having to go through them individually.

[Zane]

And then I was like, I was.

[Sal Volcano]

Hoping that when I said I. Because I was like, I'm completely joking. If you have water, that's great. And I was like, hoping you didn't think that I thought I really meant it. And then I thought twice of myself. Try to cover up.

[Zane]

I all the time make jokes like that through text and not. Not really knowing if they would catch or not. I'm just like, oh, boy. Do I have to send this text immediately after right now to ruin it or are they gonna catch it?

[Sal Volcano]

My whole thing was, how long do I wait to tell you I'm joking? Because I. I wanted you to, like, sit with it for a second, but then I was like, oh, what if he, like, does a doordash or something? So I was like, let me tell him right away.

[Zane]

Yeah, no, that was. It was funny, but thank you for asking. Of course. You. So last time you were here, you just had your special terrified come out? Yes, it did really well, Amazing. Special.

[Sal Volcano]

Thank you so much.

[Zane]

And now you're on, you're going on tour.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

And are you, are you flying or are you doing an RV through all your stuff?

[Sal Volcano]

Flying. Right now.

[Zane]

You're flying.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, I'm going away like every other weekend for about three or four nights.

[Matt]

Oh.

[Zane]

Because I saw a lot of dates. I was like, oh, there's no way he's flying to all these cities.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, they're separated though. They're not like in a row.

[Zane]

Oh, got it.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, so there's a lot like. Yeah. So I'm actually still so terrified. This is a whole new hour of material from Terror. Have you seen Terrified? Yeah, you know, we released it on YouTube, it got a few million views. Then HBO Max optioned it, so now it's on hbo.

[Zane]

Amazing.

[Sal Volcano]

Which is cool. And so this is a whole new, whole new hour. Then I actually, I had a son since I saw you guys last. I had a daughter. And so now I have a son. And a good big chunk of this is about like the first week of like my son's life and being in the hospital and delivering him and stuff like that, which is something I've never ever spoken about on stage. It was only when I saw you guys last that I even spoke about have being married and having a daughter.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Out of my whole career. Cuz it was like very private. But I just kind of was like, I think it's about time do it on my terms and because I want to speak about my life on stage and I don't want to like, you know, but it was, it's tough because once you give your privacy away, you don't get it back, you know, but it's, it's been, it's been as good as it could possibly be. It could have been worse.

[Zane]

Like, you know, is it more, is it more just not letting everybody know that you have a kid? Or is it just like you don't even want people knowing your relationship with your kid? Like, what is it like?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, it was just at first it was just like, I don't need to bring my personal life into my professional life.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

I think because I've been on in the public for so long and I play myself and people get a sense of knowing me and it's a, like a, it's not a curse, but it, it is pros and cons to it. I. People have a very sense of familiarity with me and like, you know, and I've had, and I've also had like, you know, I've dealt with stalkers and things like that. And not. Not that I'm really scared of that, but it's just, you know, the Internet sometimes is just full of vitriol and stuff, and it's like, I don't want to even broach that topic with my family. I don't want to have them involved at all, you know, and just.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

So I. And I was always been like this. My whole life. I've been a private person. So, you know, finding like, you know, whatever you want to call this fame or whatever, late in life, I was always like that. So I was like, how. How do I deal with this now? You know what I mean? I just don't want my. You know, I just don't want to introduce that. But. But it was like, you know, I.

[Heath]

Put them at risk either.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, no, I don't, you know, I don't want people to, like, oh, especially. I won't really. Like, I won't really put up photos of them or anything like that. But now speak of them, you know, I've come to terms with that and it's been nice. It's been freeing. Good to actually be able to just say my wife, my daughter. Right. Because I, you know, it's all I think about and all I care about. So it's like. It's nice to just. It's. It's very freeing to just talk about it now, but. But yeah, you know, you just. You just want to keep it at arm's length. Yeah.

[Zane]

Are both your sons going to be friends? Like, are we going to do little play days?

[Sal Volcano]

I gotta get. I gotta get myself a cowboy hat.

[Zane]

And get out there.

[Heath]

Like, send. Last time we saw you, like, I saw your dad, he was at my wedding.

[Matt]

Yes.

[Heath]

Like, so I heard about him.

[Sal Volcano]

I heard about his wedding.

[Heath]

It's crazy.

[Sal Volcano]

A wonderful wedding. I heard it was like. He was like, this wedding was crazy.

[Heath]

Yeah, it was a really good time. But. Yeah, it's so fun you guys met him.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. All right. Yeah.

[Zane]

We're.

[Sal Volcano]

So.

[Zane]

Everybody would love him here.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. Yeah. And you're expecting. Yes.

[Heath]

Yeah. So we're due in December. Mid December.

[Sal Volcano]

Unbelievable, man. I, Like, I'm very excited for you.

[Heath]

What was it like having a son?

[Sal Volcano]

Dude, I'll start crying right now.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Heath]

Dude, I. I feel like I'm gonna be the most emotional parent ever. Like, I get.

[Zane]

Really.

[Sal Volcano]

Me too.

[Heath]

I. It works me up. But that's so cool.

[Sal Volcano]

Like, yeah, it's. It's on. It's unbelievable having, you know, a girl and a boy like, just having kids, it's. Yeah. You know, I don't. You guys are not parents? No.

[Zane]

No, no, no, no. Maybe we can try.

[Heath]

They're looking to adopt.

[Sal Volcano]

You know, I just, I've just, you know, you hear about what kids mean to people and, you know, what you mean to your parents and, you know, how much you love your siblings and you love your, you know, this, that, you know, all that, but it's just, there really aren't words to describe it. It's inexplainable the way I, I, I was describing it when it happened to me, because I had my daughter around 45.

[Heath]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

I'm, you know, a bit older. I know. I'm, I would, I would say imagine having a feeling that you've never had.

[Heath]

Before at 45, and it's just completely unlocked something new.

[Sal Volcano]

Something completely new. It's like, right. It's, I do get emotional talking about. Because it's like you think you've felt and experienced everything, and to have a feeling you have never had before four and a half decades into your life is quite magical.

[Heath]

So I don't know if this is normal. I haven't really, like, talked to anybody about it. Like, obviously, like, I know my son is coming, like, and I, I'm excited and I still don't feel like it's hit me quite yet. Like, is it, is it the second they're born that, like. Because I almost have, like, a guilty feeling that I'm like, I can't, like, why am I not, like, more attached already?

[Sal Volcano]

Don't worry about that.

[Heath]

Thinking about, like, like, I see Mariah every day. She's got, like, a big bump now. And like, we, we both know that there's a baby in there.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Heath]

But it's almost, it doesn't feel real.

[Sal Volcano]

Totally normal. Totally normal.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

Because I'm like, this is, it's not real yet. It's not. It is, but it isn't, you know, it's like. And, and by the way, when he comes, it'll be. You will feel it.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

But also, you'll never stop feeling this feeling. You'll never believe they exist. Really will never believe it. I can't believe they exist to this second. Mind blown this second. And that's great. And the way I talk about it is like, too is like. Do you know the feeling you get when, when your heart melts?

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Okay.

[Zane]

That's when I eat.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, I know that feeling.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

When your heart melts, that feeling that's like, palpable. Like your Heart is like, oh my God. It's just a never ending that.

[Matt]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

It's almost. You don't actually don't know how to process. Process that as a human being, you're constantly trying to understand how to process this love. And it's, it's a wild feeling to just like you stare at them and it's like that feeling that's usually like a, like you know, a feeling just loops.

[Matt]

Just washes over you.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

It's wild.

[Sal Volcano]

It's crazy. It's great.

[Heath]

I can't.

[Sal Volcano]

So proud. I'm so happy for you. I can't believe it. You're gonna be a great dad.

[Heath]

Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Has it been easier being a dad second round with like having a second.

[Sal Volcano]

Child or is it still easier and more difficult? So it's like. It's easier because I had a run at it already whereas before I was like a deer in the headlights. But it's harder because now there's two. And the joke. I. The way I say it is you. When you have two, you really go from zone to man to man coverage. Yeah, it's, it's, it's intense, you know, because like we. What I thought was tough having like just the one kid, you know, me and my wife volleying back and forth. That's part time work now. Yeah. You know, like because when, when since he's been born, I've been 100% like, you know, taking care of my daughter. Like, you know, I wake up with her and like everything, you know, and I, and it's the best thing in the world. It's. It's really hard work, but the most rewarding work. It's exactly what they say, you know, it's like, it's. It's the hardest job ever. That, that you just want to do the, the best you possibly can at and you know, and I love it just such is like what we do in here, right. Like the business that we're in. Like you have to hustle, you have to love what you're doing. Is a lot of competition. Like you have to. I just love learning and striving to be. To get better at what I do. And there's no other ultimate, ultimate project.

[Matt]

Right.

[Sal Volcano]

More than your children for that, you know, like. And it's like, it's like I was telling a friend, it's like, you know, you, you start seeing everything through the lens of them and everything. Every decision I make is through the lens of them. And I'm not just saying about what's good or not good for them, but who I am, how I want to carry myself. If my kids aren't here and I'm making a decision or I'm speaking to someone, I'm acting a certain way, if they saw me, would they be proud of me? I get, I get emotional. Yeah, I do. Because it's so powerful.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And it's, it's. The greatest thing in the world is. It's like the, the integrity. Super bowl, you know, it's like you just feel like I'm going to be the greatest example of a human being for them that I possibly can. And it's, it's a wonderful feeling to strive for that.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. I don't want to be emotional this whole time, but I'm talking about my kids. I'm gonna. It's gonna happen.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Absolutely. Absolutely.

[Zane]

[Heath]

That's so awesome.

[Zane]

No, we hear this a lot from. Because he's about to obviously have a kid and we. It's, it's. It's nice hearing what he's going through too.

[Heath]

And like, I always think about, like, especially like, you as well. There's so much of you out there that your kids will see one day.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And some stuff I need.

[Heath]

I'm like, it's a blessing and a curse also. So I'm like, I never got to see my parents when they were younger and like, gets.

[Sal Volcano]

It's so different now. Yeah.

[Heath]

It's crazy to think about, like, they're gonna see maybe too much of me.

[Zane]

That's like, do we need to, like, do we need to, like, go through and like, really private some stuff, like, because it's gonna be like they're gonna see it once and then they'll never. It'll never not be.

[Heath]

Tell my kids, like, don't smoke cigarettes.

[Sal Volcano]

Look at the heat.

[Zane]

Smoking cigarette compilation.

[Matt]

Drinking a bottle of piss.

[Zane]

Oh, yeah.

[Heath]

They're gonna look at me and be.

[Zane]

Like, okay, yeah, yeah, daddy. I want a nipple piercing.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Heath]

I had a sheriff badge go around it and the piercing went through the sheriff badge.

[Sal Volcano]

What?

[Zane]

I had a giant. It was a giant piercing, but it was a sheriff badge.

[Heath]

No, I had one that was a full, like gold sheriff badge. The star.

[Sal Volcano]

That was what the piercing was.

[Matt]

Yes.

[Heath]

So it went around.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, my God.

[Heath]

And then the bar went through the badge through my nipple, and it was so heavy.

[Matt]

It was.

[Heath]

It was like stretching my nipple out, almost gated.

[Sal Volcano]

But the badge was worn on the outside of the shirt.

[Heath]

You could do out or under.

[Zane]

You would do under.

[Matt]

You just see, like, just Janet Jackson style.

[Sal Volcano]

Explain this decision to me, dude.

[Heath]

It was just.

[Zane]

You had to be there.

[Heath]

It was a different time. Yeah.

[Matt]

The nipples were already pierced. You just decided to be a little quirky and add.

[Heath]

Yeah. You know, you go into Spencers, you're like, okay, this is going to be kind of fun.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

You got into Spencers.

[Heath]

One of them. I had like a full blown, like, handcuff. So it was like badge and handcuff off on.

[Matt]

Serve and protect.

[Zane]

We made terrible bad decisions. Especially back then. When we first moved out here, we were hitting every tattoo shop and we would love tattoo shops that looked like you would get an infection.

[Heath]

Buy one, get one free. On Hollywood. It was, you can't Pass it up.

[Zane]

Yes, you can.

[Sal Volcano]

People pass it up.

[Zane]

We would eat.

[Sal Volcano]

There was just lots of cars drive by.

[Zane]

We went to a tattoo shop once. It literally said, closing down sale. We're like, perfect.

[Heath]

Blowout, liquidation.

[Zane]

And there was a reason why we got a tattoo. We went back home, and our tattoos were floating in the water. The next day, it floated right out of our skin.

[Heath]

No way. There was something. It was like. Needles were only used, like, three times before, so they were, like, relatively new. So it was all right.

[Matt]

I'm always surprised how well tattoo businesses are able to stay afloat because people aren't getting tattoos every single day.

[Zane]

Like, if you got customers like us, we're there every weekend. That often? I don't think that often, but they cost a lot, I guess.

[Matt]

So how much is, like, a normal tattoo?

[Zane]

If you go to a tattoo shop, they could cost between 100 bucks, the ones we went to. But, like, a one where you're not gonna get an infection the next day, it's between, like, 150 to 500 bucks.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Zane]

Every time.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. But all those people that get, like, intricate pieces, they put, like, tens of thousands of dollars.

[Heath]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Pieces cost, like, 150.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Okay, then rent's paid.

[Sal Volcano]

Exactly. Do you have any? This was horrible. See this? I got this on a road trip April 2003, to New Orleans. I went with, like, five friends, and we all were like, oh, let's just get a tattoo. And I went. And this was, like, a $60 job. And I. And when he was done, I'm not particularly religious. Yeah. You know, I got it. I thought it was, like, it looked good there.

[Zane]

I'll look cool.

[Sal Volcano]

And then I got it, and, like, I have OCD as it stands. And this was not symmetrical. And. Oh, yeah, you can see.

[Heath]

Can't miss it.

[Sal Volcano]

You can see it from there. Right? It's like.

[Zane]

And I just love that it's, like, just an upside down cross. Yeah, but.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. Yeah, but it's upside down. Like. But if I did it the other way, I would have to look at it upside down.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

But again, I. It. It's, like, the most. It just. I just got it. I don't know why. And I, for 22 years, have been staring at this, and it's been annoying me.

[Heath]

I'm in the removal process.

[Sal Volcano]

Are you.

[Heath]

And it is brutal.

[Sal Volcano]

I heard it's, like, 10 times worse.

[Heath]

Dude.

[Zane]

But it works, though.

[Heath]

I'm eight sessions deep right now, and they're getting removed.

[Matt]

All of them.

[Sal Volcano]

100 of them.

[Heath]

I. I never got One serious, sober tattoo.

[Sal Volcano]

Okay.

[Heath]

Every single one. I've gotten blacked out, wasted.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh. Oh, wow.

[Heath]

So I was just like, every day I look at them, I'm like, oh, man.

[Sal Volcano]

So nothing you like? There's some sentimental things on.

[Heath]

I have a woman's name tattooed on me that I don't know.

[Zane]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

We can't.

[Matt]

Her name.

[Heath]

I have Louise with a rose across my entire life.

[Sal Volcano]

I just thought I made the name up.

[Heath]

I made it up. I just always saw, like, we would.

[Zane]

Call each other Louise in the video. What was it? It was something.

[Heath]

I thought it was so funny having a girl's name tattooed that I didn't know.

[Sal Volcano]

It is funny.

[Heath]

And just so people would ask me, like, who. I don't. I just picked, like, a biker name.

[Sal Volcano]

I was like, that would be somewhere.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Matt]

I just thought it'd be funny, the Louise.

[Sal Volcano]

And it was.

[Heath]

It wasn't as funny. The next day after.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Matt]

The month after the year. What?

[Zane]

What? I'm so glad that we had. Because you might be able to your past from your body, but those videos will never go away. I have every video of us getting these tattoos, and I don't care how. How much they've disappeared.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Zane]

I can always bring it up and.

[Sal Volcano]

Be like, look, I remember the kid's name who did this because I. I have trauma from it because it's been. It's been. Literally, I've had, like, a nervous tick for. I've been looking at, like, this son of a. His name was Bailey.

[Heath]

Oh.

[Sal Volcano]

And I. And I. And then afterwards, I was like. I realized, like, Bailey was, like, new.

[Zane]

Oh, you got.

[Sal Volcano]

They, like, they toss me to him.

[Heath]

Damn.

[Zane]

He's.

[Sal Volcano]

Dude, just doing a simple cross on his wrist. Give him the Bailey.

[Zane]

It's so crazy to me that they have, like, barbers and tattoo artists that are just, like, new, and there's no sort of train. The training is on you. It's on the new people coming in.

[Sal Volcano]

I'm the. I'm the train.

[Matt]

You're the.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

It's unbelievable.

[Heath]

When was your last serious tattoo that you got?

[Sal Volcano]

Well, cuz. Cuz, you know, I have Jaden. Jaden Smith on both my legs. Wait, you don't know that. Okay, so. Yeah.

[Heath]

And they're beautiful, too.

[Sal Volcano]

I don't know.

[Matt]

Maybe. Wait.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Heath]

And one wasn't enough. That's. I think that's worse than me having Louise for sure.

[Sal Volcano]

So I. It's.

[Zane]

Like a truth.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

I need full context.

[Heath]

And it's young Jaden.

[Sal Volcano]

Okay. So on my Left leg is the black and white. Jaden, that's, he's 15 there, like karate Kid. He's on my thigh, my left thigh. So on the show over 10 years ago, a lot, three of us lost and so we had to get tattoos and we couldn't, didn't know what they were going to be. We just got to pick the placement. And so I, I didn't know what it's gonna be. So I picked my thigh because that was the most place I'd be able to cover up. And then four hours later I peeled off the thing on camera and it was a 15 year old Jaden Smith. Oh, so. Which I have no relation to at all. He's my Louise.

[Heath]

Honestly, that is, you know, so funny.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, Jaden, it's funny. I, I get, I get, I get that.

[Heath]

It looks like you would be a super fan, like if it was somebody like really, really big, like an iconic celebrity. Be like, oh, okay, yeah, you got Frank Sinatra.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. It's like this is when this age. Jaden was like, you know, but he wasn't, he's, you know, more prominent now. Whatever. But, but it, it just, the point was it made no sense. It was. I later found out it was either him or they were going to put a Caesar salad.

[Zane]

Yeah. So have you met him?

[Sal Volcano]

So I. All right, so here's the story about that. So then obviously I was looking at.

[Zane]

Your thigh the whole time. I didn't see the picture.

[Sal Volcano]

So, so, so I got that. It's. What's weird about it is like the other guys that got tattoos, like they got something that like, like was appropriate to them. Like Q got a cat. It said 38, lives alone, has three cats. But that's like him, you know.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And Murray, like we say he looks like a ferret and we threw him out of a plane once. We called it cry diving. And because he cried, he was afraid heights. And so we have a ferret skydiving. But again it's, there's a reference. I love that this was completely a non. Like just completely random.

[Heath]

So you really got the shit end of the deal.

[Sal Volcano]

And I did. And who, who picked that again?

[Heath]

Gatto. Damn.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Matt]

J. Smith.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Not fair.

[Sal Volcano]

And so, so I'm at San Diego Comic Con a couple years after that. Whatever. And I see. So Jaden Smith was in the, it was in the, in the press a lot. Walking around in like a white Batman outfit. He was just like, he was in the.

[Matt]

Yeah, that was like his thing for a while.

[Sal Volcano]

And so I'm at I'm at the San Diego Comic Con and I'm at the convention center. There he is.

[Zane]

I've never seen this.

[Sal Volcano]

And I see, I see that, I see him walking, walking. And I'm like, oh my God, that's Jaden Smith. There's no other white Batman. Yeah, right. So I, I, we're in the convention center. I run up to him and I'm, I'm like, I'm like, I have to show him my leg.

[Zane]

This is insane.

[Sal Volcano]

He's on my leg. I go, Jaden. Jenny turns around like as Batman, which is already weird. And I go, I, you're not gonna believe this. And I start to pull my pants down.

[Heath]

Sir, that's a child.

[Sal Volcano]

Grab me by my neck, by my shirt. Oh, grab me right here. Just like, like, like squeeze me. And I was like, whoa. Then another security guy goes, no, no, no, no, I, I know who he is. He's okay. And so the guy let go of me and I was like, that's my bad. Yeah, I shouldn't run up to you. Just pulling my pants. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I was like, I meant what I was doing was I was going to show you my thigh. Keep listening because I have a tattoo of you. And so I showed him and he actually, I have it on tape somewhere. I, I could give it to you guys. Maybe you could drop it in or. Yeah, but he, he was like, like, oh my God. Like he blew his mind. And I remember he said something like, this is the first one I've ever seen of someone.

[Zane]

A tattoo. And he didn't, he never saw like the, he never saw, he wasn't familiar.

[Sal Volcano]

With me or the show or, or, or anything like that. So in that moment I met him. So, you know. Oh. Another weird thing that happened was like, as I'm showing him, I look up and like, you know M. Night Shyamalan?

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

So he's just staring at us, right? Cuz at the time they were promoting a show that. I'm sorry, a movie they did together called After Earth.

[Matt]

Oh, okay. Yes.

[Sal Volcano]

So I guess M. Night Sh was the director. So he, that's who walking with. But I didn't even see M. Night. So then like, and I looked up and I just see like M. Night J looking at me and I'm just like, like, what a twist. How about a twist for you? And so then after that he kind of was aware of the show and then I already watched it and I, one time or another, I think I like knew that he was watching it or will Knew about it, the family, whatever. Then years later, like, maybe like five years later, later, we were filming the Impractical Jokers movie. Yeah. And they sprung this on me. They put me in these Daisy Dukes, and they put me in a shirt that says jaden's number one fan. And we went to a movie premiere of his that he was in this cast. And there was a Q A after the movie premiere, and they made me get up to ask a question, and I looked like just a lunatic adult. Yeah, that's. That's it right there.

[Matt]

Jaden's number one fan.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. So I'm like. I'm like, I'm your number one fan. And there's like a huge. It's like hundreds of people there.

[Zane]

And you've already met Jaden before.

[Sal Volcano]

This is just for the, like, five years.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Heath]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

But I haven't seen him since then. I don't know him. I didn't, like, exchange numbers or anything, so I just. I didn't know if. I wasn't quite aware if he knew what was going on because we were filming the movie, and so I didn't know if, like, I. I wasn't involved in this because it was for me. So I was kept in the dark. And so I didn't know exactly what was going on, like, if I also springing this on him or what was going on. And so, like, as I asked the question, he's like, why don't you come up here? And so I get up on the stage, I mean, the director of the movies there, all these people, and he's like. And he shows to everybody, and he's like, what's up? And I'm just like. I mean, I'm fan. And everyone's like, half the people are laughing, half are weirded out.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And he goes, man, I don't even look like that anymore. He's like, that was like six years ago. He's like, you got to update that. And I'm like, okay. And he's like, we should go update that right now.

[Heath]

Oh, exactly.

[Sal Volcano]

And then we left the stage and went three blocks away to a tattoo, and he posed for that thing, and he literally sat there and posed for it, and they gave me that one, and that's on my right thigh now.

[Matt]

Incredible.

[Zane]

Oh, my God. Were you pissed? I'd have been. I would have been so mad.

[Sal Volcano]

I was upset because, like, one is enough, you know? So it's. There's a real big difference between one and two. Like, you have one tattoo. Like, maybe that's supposed to be funny. You have two and they're like, I think that man poses a threat to that. Yeah. You know, I'm kind of pissed that.

[Zane]

Jaden did that to you. Like, if, if I, if that happened to me, I would, I would feel so bad making this person tattoo. He got it.

[Sal Volcano]

I think he, he gets what the show, the spirit of the show is about. Got it. Okay. He was really down toe and cool for doing that for us. I, I mean, you know, I, the joke's a great joke and so I, I, I commit to the joke. And so people ask me, do I have them still? I have them because the joke is, it's permanent. And so like, I commit to the joke. So I have.

[Matt]

Your kids are going to get older. They're going to be like, dad, who?

[Zane]

My God.

[Sal Volcano]

Tattoos. Tattoos. Like, yeah. She's like, who do. I don't know who she thinks this is.

[Sal Volcano]

I was at the doctor once. I was getting a checkup and that's when my parents and I, I lot of times I forget I have them, you know, Know. And then, and the doctor had like basketball memorabilia in his office. Like he had like autograph balls and jerseys and stuff. And so I was standing there and he, and he goes. And I, you know, we. Nonsense chap. Then it was awkward, quiet. Yeah. And then he was like, who's the man? And I, I just literally thought, because I was looking at his jerseys and so I thought he was just talking sports and I was like, lebron James, man. He's like, yeah. I was like, yeah, you know. You know. He's like, oh, cool. And I was like, yeah, guy. I mean, that's not, that's not, I'm not going out on a limb there, you know?

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And he goes, who's the other man?

[Heath]

So wait, your pants are down and he's looking at you going, who's the man?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, well, he wasn't, that's, that alone would have thrown, he wasn't like, at my crotch.

[Heath]

Okay, who's the.

[Sal Volcano]

I had, I had like removed, you know, but, but like he wasn't like that. It was, it. He wasn't like inspecting me at the time. Okay, okay, but, but, but I guess he saw the thought and, or, and so then, but then he goes, who's the other man? And I, I, I was like, wait, what are we talking about right now? And so then I was like, I just was like, steph Curry. And he goes. And he goes, yeah. And I was like, yeah, yeah, right. He's, I mean, the best shooter of my lifetime. And he goes, oh, that's crazy. You have tattoos of LeBron and Steph Curry.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Cause that kind of, I guess, looks like Steph Curry a little.

[Zane]

You know, he went home and was like, this poor man.

[Sal Volcano]

No, he didn't.

[Zane]

Okay. No, no, no, baby, you're not gonna believe it. This guy had the worst ever seen in my life.

[Sal Volcano]

No, no, no. It came out right then because I, because I was got so flustered. So like I, I should have just let him believe it.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Cuz it's less embarrassing actually. But I was just like, oh. I was like, you're talking about my legs, right? He's like, yeah, like, oh. I was like, oh, no. I was like. And I get, I got so embarrassed. I was like, I was like, so embarrassed. I was like, like, I go, no. I tried to make a joke, but it didn't come out right either. And that. I go, no, actually that's not, he's not the man, because that's a boy. And then he was like, what?

[Zane]

And I was like.

[Sal Volcano]

And then I was like, that joke didn't land. And I'm like, it's a boy on my. Like I'm. And I go, well, here he's a man. I go, here he's 15.

[Zane]

15.

[Sal Volcano]

Here he's 21. So here he could be the man. And the guy's like looking like a.

[Matt]

Slam poem right now. Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And I go, it's Jaden Smith. And he, he's just looking at me. And I go, jaden Smith is Will Smith's son. And he goes, I know who Jaden Smith is. Why is he on all of your thighs? He goes, why is he on all of your thighs?

[Matt]

All of them.

[Zane]

I would, I would hate having to have to explain these tattoos every time somebody saw it. Cuz it's like a lot. You have to explain it.

[Sal Volcano]

That's why I put them on the thighs.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

But sometimes I'll have fun with it. Like, I've been at a barbecue in the summer. I did this once. But like, I, I. Because otherwise, like, I gotta have fun with it too.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

So like, I was going on and on about Jaden Smith until someone was like, yo, what's your deal with Jaden? I was like, oh. I'm like, I'm, I'm obsessed with him. Like, I'm his biggest fan. And they, they were like, like laughing like, because how can that. Not that he can't have a fan. But I'm like, I'm an old man. Yeah, it's weird. And I go, no, no, I am, I have tattoos of him and they're like, I'm like, no, I do.

[Zane]

And I pull my thighs out and then they don't know how to act.

[Sal Volcano]

Because think I'm 100 series. They just laughing at me for it. So I do, I do.

[Matt]

Brilliant.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, I have fun with it.

[Matt]

You got to team up with like a magician too. And like, that's like, oh, that's part.

[Zane]

Of the magic trick.

[Matt]

Trick is that you're like, tattoo Jaden Smith. If you did it in front of friends who like, didn't know the magician.

[Zane]

Imagine someone who's like a big fan of Jaden Smith. And then it goes from There like oh, you're a big fan. Well what if. Blah blah blah. And then the, the tattoo of Jaden Smith is on this random.

[Sal Volcano]

That's really funny. That's.

[Heath]

There's a good bit to it.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Cuz they like why the would you have two J Tatt?

[Sal Volcano]

No one with two.

[Heath]

What?

[Sal Volcano]

There might be someone with one. I know there's one other person with the black and white one because on our, on one of the an one of the live episodes that we did it for Jokers for charity, someone volunteered and got that tattoo on their thigh as well. But I, but you know, I don't know if you know there's such a.

[Zane]

Fan of you where they got that. Jada Smith.

[Sal Volcano]

Yes.

[Zane]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

But I can't imagine another other at least middle aged fellow has two of Jaden on this. Yeah. Two at all. Two.

[Matt]

Right.

[Heath]

Would you go for three?

[Sal Volcano]

The question here now is do I get him every five years throughout his whole life like or you know, or do I just get like Will Jada and, and, and Willow and have like a Smith family Mount Rushmore on? Yeah. Yeah.

[Zane]

I don't hate that idea.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, I do. Or do I just.

[Matt]

Just Jaden, I think figured out his life.

[Sal Volcano]

Do a tourniquet right now.

[Matt]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Zane]

But you don't need to make it that big. You can go smaller and smaller every five years.

[Sal Volcano]

They tell me if I want photorealistic detail, which I didn't on either of these, I have to get it about that size for like the detail to come through. Yeah.

[Matt]

Just hopefully Jaden behaves himself. You don't want that. Cancel.

[Sal Volcano]

Kidding me? He did what? Oh God.

[Heath]

He goes full Kanye and you're like.

[Zane]

Turns into a serial killer.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Matt]

To behave himself.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. Because then I'll have to be going. I'll be getting him removed. Of course I have to. I can't have that. But yeah, no, it's like I, I guess I'll keep them. I don't know. I just. It is weird. Yeah. But he's a real nice kid. When he went to the MET gala like last year and he went like as like a house.

[Heath]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

His head was over the house.

[Matt]

Yes.

[Sal Volcano]

I got flooded with like this is the next one.

[Heath]

Like you could do like iconic mom throughout like his life, like things like that.

[Matt]

That's.

[Zane]

I mean that's not a bad tattoo. It's kind of sick. I'd get that. Guys.

[Sal Volcano]

There's no way you telling me to get it, Louise. Maybe I'll get mine.

[Matt]

No.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, it's just. I, I. Yeah, I probably can't get any more of them.

[Zane]

Like, do you think when these celebrities are wearing these, like, do you think they're in the mirror, like, laughing? And then when they're out there, there, they're, like, serious as. Like, this is art.

[Sal Volcano]

I think him particularly, I think he is, he is not laughing.

[Zane]

Oh, no.

[Sal Volcano]

I think that he is owning it, and I think that he, he's kind of a little. He's kind of eccentric. Like.

[Matt]

Yeah, he's very.

[Sal Volcano]

Like, I couldn't take myself seriously in that. Oh, yeah. But, but, you know, just, I mean, man, he, he really, he rocks. He really went to the Met as a big cast.

[Zane]

Like, I would. The thing is, I would. If I stepped out, my face is serious. I'm taking it seriously. Like, in front of press, in camera, laughing.

[Sal Volcano]

I think he was like, this is the next hot thing in fashion.

[Zane]

But then, you know, it's, it's like falling before he gets out there. Like, how do you not laugh? Like, imagine it's, like, starting to fall and you're like, yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

If you just being a human being there has to. It has to feel somewhat absurd.

[Heath]

That's very true.

[Sal Volcano]

But I think that's a lot of that fashion is that. I mean, I mean, you know, there's probably. There. He probably didn't feel too out of place. There's probably a lot of stuff like that there. But he was a cool dude. Like, we, we exchanged numbers. He'd, like, text me every once in a while, like, how you doing? And stuff. Like, it was really nice.

[Zane]

I would, too, if a fan had two pictures of my face, like, tattoos.

[Matt]

Thank you so much. Thank you, really.

[Sal Volcano]

All right, next time I come back, I'm going have the three of you.

[Zane]

Yes.

[Heath]

There we go. Does anybody have your face tattooed a lot?

[Zane]

Oh, that's, that's, that's good then.

[Heath]

Does that, does that make you feel weird?

[Sal Volcano]

So I am on. My face is on a lot of people, but a lot of people ask me to autograph them.

[Heath]

Oh. And then they, and then they tattoo.

[Sal Volcano]

My signature, and I always plead with them not to do it.

[Heath]

The pressure, too, of you sitting there.

[Sal Volcano]

Like, it's a. I said it's a really bad idea. I appreciate how much you. Yeah, this means. It's, it's, it's. I'm humbled by this, but it's not going to look good, and eventually you're not going to want it there. It's like, it's going to be a mistake later on in life.

[Matt]

Right.

[Sal Volcano]

You know, and it's like, I, I'm telling you, I, I, you know, I don't get it. Yeah. And I also, they always get it.

[Zane]

And, and when I said, like, when they do this, I'm just like, I just hope I never disappoint you where you look at your arm.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Something so permanent and, like, you hit hate it. Because I know, like this, like, but.

[Sal Volcano]

Sometimes people tell me, like, just write them a little note or a message. Yeah. They'll tell me what to write. Or I'll just write it myself. And then they get that tattooed.

[Zane]

Yeah. You know what you do next time instead of doing a signature? Do, like a shape, like an object where it's like, it's your, like you drew it, but it's.

[Matt]

Yeah. You have like a little doodle.

[Zane]

You do a little doodle.

[Matt]

Like, this isn't an autograph. It's not your name.

[Sal Volcano]

But you're, like, so obsessed that my.

[Zane]

Doodle wasn't up to Paul spent a.

[Heath]

Little bit more time on it.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. No, but it's, it's, it's.

[Matt]

That's.

[Sal Volcano]

I like that.

[Zane]

It's sick.

[Sal Volcano]

It takes. Yeah. That's my. So he was with me when I got this terrible one, and that's when he got that s on his back. And that was for his ex. And so, like, 20 years later, as a joke, they. They've been long broken up. He made that into my name. Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Is that old you?

[Heath]

That picture right there?

[Sal Volcano]

Which one?

[Matt]

Or, like, younger you? Is that you?

[Sal Volcano]

That.

[Matt]

Yes.

[Sal Volcano]

That's. That's. Okay. So that is a meme of AI. No, that's a meme of me. That might be. That one might be tweaked a little.

[Zane]

It's 100ameme. I've seen that in a meme before. It's.

[Sal Volcano]

People have done a lot with it. It's probably more. A lot closer to the one on the bottom right there.

[Matt]

Yeah. Like, that one.

[Sal Volcano]

Well, that's probably the. I gave it to the guys. It's what I call the worst photo I've ever taken. And so they needed a bad photo for me in season one. And so this photo. I have the flu. In this photo, I'm 60 pounds overweight, and Q took it. We were at lunch, and I, Like, I was on my deathbed. I don't know why even.

[Zane]

Is that a cigarette in your hand?

[Sal Volcano]

No.

[Heath]

Is that lipstick?

[Sal Volcano]

No. No.

[Heath]

These are. This is tweets.

[Zane]

Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah.

[Heath]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

No, but I do look like some type of Andre the Giant type fellow.

[Matt]

You do.

[Heath]

That's what it is.

[Sal Volcano]

Yes. And. And so I gave this them voluntarily. I said, here. This is the worst picture I've ever taken. The angle's bad. I didn't look that bad in reality, but it all came together in the photo. It was a bad angle, you know, and it doesn't even look like me. And so I gave it, and they used it on the show for, like, six seasons. Like, they kept using it. And I finally. I said, I get why you think it's funny, but for me now, it's diminishing returns. Yes. Like, you got to stop using insulin now. It's like you overdid it. And then after I gave that mandate, like, six months later, I got a text from a friend, and they were like, are you sitting down? I'm like, why? Because you become a meme. And I was like, is that good or bad? They're like, I think it's bad. And I. For two years, I had to turn off all my. On all my social platforms, all the commenting, because if I wrote one post or anything, I would get 5,000 of that face.

[Matt]

Oh, boy.

[Sal Volcano]

In all of my DMs, I couldn't even sort through at the time. Time to talk to people. I Knew.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Because it was thousands and a day. And then it was everywhere. And then I couldn't just. So then I was like, oh, my God. And now that thing is on merch. It's been on merch for, like, since. It's been a meme. So it's been a meme. I would say at least. At least five, if not more years. And now college kids, it's become a thing for them. It's like a thing. Literal thing. So every college dorm, every kid has it. They printed out on, like, tapestries, on, like, quilts. And I. They hang it in their dorm room. Oh, my goodness. So this face is on people's.

[Heath]

It's in, like, fraternity houses. Just, like, banners.

[Sal Volcano]

Every house, every apartment, every house, every dorm room. Not just fraternity. It's girls before they go out. I. I hang out.

[Heath]

Wait, that is, like, really funny, though.

[Sal Volcano]

It's funny. It's.

[Zane]

It is.

[Sal Volcano]

It's funny. And so now I just give into it. But, like, it's on their graduation caps. It's on cakes. It's on people are for Halloween. It's on. And T shirts. I go. When I do my shows, when I go out in the audience, like, inevitably, especially if I do a college. I do colleges, too. If I do a college, there's like, seven audience. They pick them up. And I. I just can't believe it just became this thing.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Zane]

You know, what was it? Was there a meme, like, a caption attached to the picture?

[Sal Volcano]

Or was it just a goddamn picture?

[Heath]

It doesn't need anything, El.

[Sal Volcano]

I've never. What I should have done is I should have started selling it immediately myself, because I can't. Guys, I can't even overstate to you how much merch this thing is on. I see it everywhere. Bumper stickers, like, mugs, everything. I have a mug of it because I. I bought someone else. I. So I paid up for my.

[Zane]

That money should have went straight into.

[Sal Volcano]

Your account as a joke to my wife. I bought that mug off Etsy.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And I'm like, I'm paying somebody else.

[Heath]

Imagine them.

[Sal Volcano]

Somebody's finding out, made million. Like, a million dollars off of it.

[Matt]

Oh, yeah.

[Heath]

It would be pretty cool for them to know that they put your face on a mug and then sold it to you.

[Sal Volcano]

I got another one for you. I returned that mug and made him send me a new one because it was faded. I was in the Etsy comments like. And I guess my username, like, guys, this quality is unacceptable.

[Zane]

He responds back, nope, sorry, no can do. No rebate. You go, do you know who the fuck I am?

[Heath]

You're going to send me.

[Zane]

I sent the picture holding the mug.

[Sal Volcano]

I'm like, you want to take this again?

[Zane]

I'll sue you.

[Sal Volcano]

I will sue you.

[Zane]

This reminds me of. I mean, like, another example. Like, hot. Like, remember the Hawk? To a girl.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

It. Once it started becoming viral, she literally herself started making the merch, and I forget where I saw, but she made so much money.

[Heath]

But it's kind of embarrassing to do it yourself, though.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, it's.

[Heath]

It's. It's cooler that you. You didn't.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Heath]

I mean, because then if you start selling it yourself, it's like, yeah, I know.

[Sal Volcano]

But still to this day, it still sells so much. I'm like, do I do this? And Q's always like, well, I took the picture, so I get half. And he's serious.

[Matt]

Got a point.

[Zane]

All right.

[Sal Volcano]

So now I'm only getting half the profits.

[Zane]

You know, that's how those Getty Image people, the paparazzi.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Zane]

You take any of their photos you posted, they try to sue your ass. They try to find you. It's crazy. And it's because they took the picture.

[Sal Volcano]

I've never now just decided that it's. It's like, free use.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

It's just. Just take it.

[Zane]

It's like, it's just part of the government. It's just like. It's part of this country's just.

[Sal Volcano]

I wanted to know, like, what it was that, like, clicked with the college kids. Like, and it really. I think, ultimately is nothing, you know, like, a meme hits, and then that. It hits them at the right time, at the right age, and then that thing means whatever it means to them, like, because it's like they're. They have their own jokes with it, whatever. But I remember I. At a college, I said to a kid, like, like, what. What does this. I don't get it. What is it? Like, why. Why do you have this? What does it mean? And he stood up and he goes, you are our Lord and savior. And they also had cheering. And, like, this was, like, what they felt like. And I'm like, no, I didn't ask to be that.

[Zane]

So these people were like, they didn't know you. And they would hang this up in their room. Yeah, they just. Like this.

[Sal Volcano]

I think they knew who. They know who I am.

[Zane]

Okay.

[Heath]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

I don't think anyone's. Well, I'm sure there's people out there that seen that and don't know who I am.

[Heath]

But you're that meme guy, right?

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, yeah. I think all these people are fans and know the show.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Ten years ago, they would have invited you to Vidcon just because you were a meme. Just because that was circulated. Be like, hey, come, we're gonna do a little meet and greet for you.

[Heath]

Just something about the brick background too. Like, it just works.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

It's so funny. The restaurant had a brick wall.

[Zane]

I've definitely seen this photo and didn't know it was you. Oh, no way.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

100. Like, I've seen that so many times.

[Matt]

You're a meme.

[Heath]

Yes.

[Matt]

The bumblebee costume.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, yeah, You're.

[Zane]

I was. I'm running after kids in a bumblebee outfit. Like, a little girl's bumblebee outfit I'm wearing with a bat.

[Matt]

Like, trick or treaters.

[Zane]

Right there, look.

[Heath]

How did that.

[Matt]

Yeah, like that one. That. That one.

[Sal Volcano]

How did this come to be?

[Zane]

It was just a bit where I. People kept coming to the door to ask for candy, and I was like, you know, get the out of here. And I run after him with a bat. I forget what it was, but I.

[Matt]

Think it was just a bit in David's vlog or something.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, that was a photo. And then that photo got t taken.

[Matt]

People just run with that all the time.

[Zane]

It was like, bees version versus wasps. Or like, I forget what it was. Like, something about, like, bees versus wasps. It's just like, oh, right there. Go to go bottom, Jared. Right there.

[Sal Volcano]

I'll see. You know why?

[Heath]

Oh.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, that's so. Oh, that's. That's funny. What's. What's.

[Heath]

What?

[Sal Volcano]

You're lucky because your face is not on it.

[Zane]

Yeah, I looked rough there. I looked around, so I'm really glad that you didn't see that.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. I've oddly become a meme, like, five times now. Now, like, I. I just. I'm primed for it, I guess. Again, on Tick Tock, like, there's an old scene from Jokers that was, like, from season, like, 87 or something like that. It was one minute on television, and, like, it came and went, and then, like last year, it blew up on Tick Tock. It was like I. I was this character named Tonka Johari.

[Zane]

Have you heard of what movie in.

[Sal Volcano]

In the Jokers.

[Zane]

In the Dark.

[Matt]

Practical Jokers.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, did I say.

[Matt]

You said. Just said Jokers.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, sorry.

[Zane]

Sorry. In my head was. I was thinking of, like, the Dark Knight.

[Matt]

Mo.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, he was an extra joker.

[Matt]

Yeah, got it.

[Zane]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

No, and. And it's basically like someone Comes into. We're in a waiting room and I've been like, clown shoot. I don't know. It's. It's a weird scene where someone brings a whole pizza in and they go, I got a pizza delivery for Tonka Johari and I was in the middle of putting on lipstick. It was like, sometimes we do like real out there stuff. And I go, I'm Tonka Johari, but I would never order a whole pizza for myself. But I'll take it though. And then they just froze that and then that became a meme and like got like a billion views. And that was like a one minute clip from Joker.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Eight seasons ago.

[Heath]

That's such a relatable like thing though. But I'll take.

[Sal Volcano]

And then I had something like go viral from my podcast, my. One of my old podcasts, my buddy. Like a Tupperware meme.

[Heath]

Yes.

[Matt]

Oh, yeah.

[Zane]

Oh yeah.

[Matt]

Wrong. Yeah.

[Heath]

We also saw the. The one with your knees.

[Sal Volcano]

My niece. That's a new one.

[Zane]

So good. So good.

[Sal Volcano]

That's from a sketch show I had 11 years ago.

[Zane]

Did I see it?

[Sal Volcano]

Nobody saw. It was on tv, but no one saw it. It came and went. I filmed six episodes of the sketch show and that was a segment in each episode. And just this little 10 seconds of that and I filmed like 20 minutes. They took that. That's from a show. And now it's like, dude, I finally reposted it on my own socials a week ago or two to. I mean this has been, this has been for six plus months, maybe even more.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And I've seen accounts with it have like hundreds of millions. Like, and I, I finally posted myself and like the one I posted like two weeks ago has like 40 million views. And then I posted like an extended one of it from a couple days ago and it has like 5, 6 million views already. So I'm gonna post the whole thing. Yeah, the whole interview. And then like I have four interviews with her. Yeah, she's. She's 18 now.

[Matt]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

Wow.

[Matt]

Crazy great.

[Zane]

It's such a good video. I was in my, like, it's so nice know, it must be so nice knowing that you have so much content out there. Years worth of content where you could be doing. You could literally retire and hire a team to go through all your every show, every.

[Sal Volcano]

Just, just make clips. What I should do. It's what I should.

[Zane]

You literally, you can retire. You never have to.

[Sal Volcano]

I started after I posted that and I'm like, wait, I'm posting something that's 20 seconds long that I did 11 years ago going. It's getting 30, 35 million views. Like, why am I not doing this? I started making content in like 1999.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Like, why am I not doing this?

[Zane]

You have so much stuff out there.

[Matt]

And you have a talk show you mentioned that's coming out, or was it?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. So it's, it's. It's a new talk show called Minouche. It's short for Minutia. Yeah. And the concept is like really big guests, really small talk.

[Heath]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

It's kind of like, it's, it's. It's a one on one interview show that goes in and out of like, it's like absurd tongue in cheek. It's, it goes in and out of like, like conversation and sketch comedy without like calling it out.

[Zane]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

So it's like really weird and fun. I just want to do something completely different.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

So like, you know, the hope is like I, I've banked a few episodes. I'm doing it like I'm shooting 10 episodes and then I'm releasing those 10 as a season.

[Zane]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

And then shooting another 10 and release them as a season. Because the reason I went on hiatus with my other pods was like, I just couldn't keep up with the once a week for both pods so much. Yeah. And so I also want to like really control, control the, the means of production and really like really like write for these things and produce them and take my time with them. So I'm shooting them all out. So I'm halfway through shooting now. So it'll come out in late fall, early winter.

[Zane]

Cool.

[Sal Volcano]

It'll be minutiae. It'll be on like YouTube and all the channels and stuff.

[Zane]

But amazing.

[Sal Volcano]

The idea is like, get Paul run on there and like ask some questions. Like, have you ever shoved somebody on Black Friday? Like it's nonsense questions. You know what I mean? Like, and it's so. It's like I don't want to talk about anything they've ever talked about, talk about.

[Matt]

Right.

[Sal Volcano]

And. And then it's also. But it's also weaving in and out of ridiculous sketches and like act outs and weird like that. So.

[Zane]

And I feel like that's what most people want to talk about when they're out. Like, I would hate to talk about myself. I want to talk about random, like ask me the random questions. That's will be so fun for me to like want to participate in.

[Matt]

Did you pick the guests or these buddies of yours who you were like, I know them really well. I want Them on this show.

[Sal Volcano]

It's a mix of a lot.

[Matt]

Yeah. Okay, cool, cool.

[Heath]

You get to have like improv moments in it too where you guys could just like have fun with each other.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh yeah, man. I, I, I, I, it's, it's been so fun making this thing. I bet. Like, you know, like there's all weird stuff too. Like I have a thing called the minouche bowl.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Which is a play on maneuver. But it's, it's like a bowl of like you just randomly pick something out and it'll be like flirt with me during. Flirt with me while I play these car accident sounds. So it's just, it just, it's just weird. So it's like he's like, you know, you look really. And it's like, you know, it's just.

[Zane]

Weird, quirky, like out there just trying a bunch of. And then just keeping in. What words?

[Sal Volcano]

Completely absurd. Yeah, completely absurd.

[Heath]

How long are they going to be?

[Sal Volcano]

I think that I'm going to use everything that I think is funny.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

So it'll probably be between like, like 40 and 60 minutes maybe. I think something like that. Yeah. It depends. If I film 90 minutes and it's gold, I'll put it out 90 minutes. You know what I mean?

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

But if, if I want to strip it down to be really tight, the way that I'm doing it too is every single interaction I have on the show is going to be its own little segment. And so I'll going to chop every one of those, those up and put the entire episode out in segments as well. At the exact same time.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. So I know we put up clips from the pod, but these will be actual segments like from not just a moment of conversation, but like it'll be like the in and out points of that segment.

[Zane]

Got it.

[Sal Volcano]

I mean, and so like I'll, I'll dice up the whole episode and put it out and let, let it get views that way as well as the people that are going to go watch the entire thing. Yeah. So I'm just trying to approach this in a way that's like a little different from what's out there right now now. Leaning into different sensibilities.

[Zane]

And I love those, like the, the chick. What's that? Chicken shop.

[Matt]

Yes. Chicken shop date.

[Zane]

What's, what's her name?

[Matt]

I don't know her name.

[Zane]

Like that. I love, like I, when that pops up on my feed, it doesn't matter what celebrity. I always just sit at least for the first 10 seconds. Just like, just Want to watch it.

[Matt]

It's just like people like to see an interesting vehicle to an interview. I mean, that's why Hot Ones is so successful because it's like, oh, wait, they're eating hot wings and answering questions that it's. That's interesting.

[Zane]

It's so fun watching celebrities that I feel like are just so off hidden.

[Sal Volcano]

Like.

[Zane]

Like to me, as someone I feel like is so hidden is like Brad Pitt. Like, I would love to see Brad Pitt like on your show.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

That'd be so fun to watch because, like, I feel like he's such a mystery.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Still to this day, just don't really.

[Heath]

See behind the curtain a little bit.

[Sal Volcano]

That's exactly the. It's not being stiff.

[Matt]

This. These all PR rehearsed questions and the.

[Sal Volcano]

Stuff I'm pitching them like the sketch parts of are out there. And so it's like they're also like, by coming on, I'm like, it's cool because I think they're going to be able to have an outlet to show themselves in that exact way. Like.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Be really playful and really ridiculous and stuff.

[Matt]

How long have you been working on this idea? Was it something you were marinating on for a while or it just hits you and go, that's a good idea. Let's do it?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. I thought about it a little over a year ago. I had, I had the concept of it and then I just kind of built it out. I wanted to shoot it all out before I was filming Joker season 12. I didn't get to it and it was impossible to do both. So I just wrapped Joker Season 12amonth ago.

[Matt]

Congrats.

[Sal Volcano]

And now I'm to trying to film. Film this out now. Yeah.

[Zane]

How long does it take to film a whole season?

[Sal Volcano]

Right now it takes us just about seven months.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Because we're doing 18 episodes and three specials. In the past, it was always 26 episodes and five specials. It would take us about 10, 10 months. Little over 10 months. And then we'd only get down like seven, eight weeks and start again. And that was like for nine seasons. And so it's only since season 10. I actually, actually negotiated less episodes just to have like I. And I negotiated a mandatory six months down in between.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Because it just between that and touring and any other thing I tried to do, it's just. It is a. It's. It's a bit much. Yeah. Yeah.

[Zane]

If I was like on the Impro show and like filming that much for a show like that, my anxiety would be so bad. There's not enough medication that could get me pretty much through being on that show every year. And the fact that you guys are still doing it, like it just amazes me. Like, do you have any anxiety? Are you to you just really push through?

[Sal Volcano]

I'm a basket case.

[Zane]

I just can't. Like I'm sweating. Right.

[Sal Volcano]

Therapist.

[Zane]

My God.

[Sal Volcano]

You know, we're still having a lot of fun doing it.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Like it's, it's. We push it to make sure that like each, each season we're doing like new and different things for us too. Yeah. For the viewer, for us. If we're having fun, it translates and stuff. So we still, I still go to work and I like die laughing every day. So it's like, it's, it's the greatest job ever, you know. Like this is all we've been signed for though. So season 12, we're on TBS now. We see on True on TBS now. So it's found a new audience and the ratings are like better than ever, which is wild.

[Zane]

It's amazing as well.

[Sal Volcano]

So they, we. They are the first 10 and now they saved the next 10 for like January. They split it up like that. So there's still 10 more episodes to come out. But we, we don't know if we're coming back, you know, because we didn't sign for anything yet. So. Which is weird because we also like if we worry if this was going to be the end, we really wanted to make at least the last episode. Something like that would be an homage to something, you know, so we don't know. So we'll see. We'll see. I mean I. We have to like see kind of like a movie.

[Zane]

Right? Like that's how Jackass would do it. They just do a giant movie.

[Sal Volcano]

Maybe like another. Yeah. Like some type of send off movie. Yeah. Just. Or if it goes away, we could always do a movie one day just to get it back a little. You know, we always talk about that kind of thing, like a reunion tour or whatever. Because I tour with the guys too. It's kind of wild. Like when we were production and touring together, I see them seven days a week for like a year, you know, like the joke is when we leave, we, we always just go see in 12 hours.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Because we see that's. I mean it was like, it's that intense.

[Zane]

Who do you get along with the most out of all of them at this point?

[Sal Volcano]

Believe it or not? Like it's like we, we really get along all fine. You know, I think if we had any, like, bumps in the road. And it's inevitable. You cannot have bumps, especially when you're doing something creative and you're with each other that much.

[Heath]

Right.

[Sal Volcano]

Making that many decisions together. And, like, you know, and it's. I think, you know, they're bound to happen, and we managed them really well. But, you know, we've been friends since we're 13, so it's like. And. And we didn't get the show till later in life. And so I think we're. We. We always started from a really good, strong place of, like, being able to navigate that kind of thing. And every once in a while, we have blowouts, one on, you know, and the other guys would be there to.

[Zane]

Help, like, you know, it over.

[Sal Volcano]

But it's been a very long time now since any of that happened. I think, like, we turned to corner both with our age and where we've come with the show, whereas, like, it's really is a weld oiled machine now.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And we kind of, like, understand immediately, like, you know, if we disagree on something creatively, whoever is at the forefront of that creative will will be able to decide. So it's kind of like, all right, this is my bit. I'm gonna decide what goes on, you know, this and that. So we really have really, like, it's. It's. I think it's pretty. Probably be pretty amazing that we. How smooth it is, you know?

[Matt]

Love it.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. Yeah. Lucky. I'm lucky. Very lucky.

[Matt]

Are you making time for yourself? Like, you. Have you been getting into any hobbies and stuff? I heard that you were interested in sailing. Have you been taking lessons or anything like that?

[Sal Volcano]

How the hell did you. I took my first sailing lesson. Like, how'd it go? I took. What's today? Dude, I took my first sailing lesson five days ago.

[Matt]

We.

[Heath]

We were at the dock.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. No, it's the weirdest thing, right? So really. No, I don't really have a lot of time for myself, so I just started, like, I just got a personal trainer because the kids and everything. I want to be as hell, you know?

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And it's all. It's all the kids. No, the time for myself is the time with the kids because, like, it's. You will not want to do anything else, you know, like, if I have free time, I want it to be with them so they consume all my free time. Yeah. Which. So that's amazing. But I was, like, saying to myself, I need to try something out of my comfort zone that maybe is so foreign to me that Might be a challenge that, like, you know, And I. I chose sailing. I said. I said, I. Why not try to sail? And I think maybe what I might have been saying was maybe just drive a boat.

[Zane]

Yeah. Do you like boats?

[Sal Volcano]

Just a boat with a wheel and, like, a motor, maybe. But I said, sailing. And so. And it was the weirdest thing. Like, four days after I said that, I said. Told my wife that, too. I ran into this guy. Guy, and his daughter goes to my daughter's music class. And so after the class, we were just talking, and I asked him if he wanted to come to her birthday party. And he's like, oh, yeah. And he went to go put it in this thing. He goes, I can't. I'm teaching sailing. That day, it was four days after I said this, and I was like, are you being. I was like, dude, I just said I wanted to sell. He's like, let's go. And I was like, all right, let's go. We just went sailing, and I had my first lesson.

[Zane]

Gf on.

[Sal Volcano]

Did you get the bugs? Amazing.

[Matt]

Okay, good.

[Sal Volcano]

I went in the New York harbor, too, which is wild.

[Matt]

Whoa.

[Sal Volcano]

It's like. Like, if you're going to. It's like, I don't know if you guys have ever driven in New York City, but, like, a thing that we say back there, my whole life is like, if you could drive in New York City, you could drive anywhere in the world. Yeah. You know, anywhere in the States. You know, it's like, the hardest place to learn how to drive. And it's like the harbor is the hardest place to learn how to sail. He was like, it's the same exact thing. If you can sail here, you can sell anywhere. Because there is. It's a. I mean, there's tankers and. And cruise ships, and there's people on Waverunners. And it's. It's. It's. It's the wildest thing. It's like. It's almost like a highway for. For boats.

[Matt]

Right?

[Sal Volcano]

And, yeah, we're out there just, like, navigating all that. I mean, I don't know how to sail. I took a lesson.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Zane]

You're just watching him, like. Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

It was a lot to take in. Yeah. I didn't realize, like, it's. It's its own language, its own everything. And say. I think it's about repetition, and once you get repetition down, you can understand it. But it is. Is. It was overwhelming, but in the best way, right? Yeah.

[Zane]

Also, I feel like it sounds like an expensive hobby, too. Do you have to like buy a boat now.

[Sal Volcano]

Do you have to, you can join. This is what's so wonderful about it. You could just join a sailing club. And this one is a nonprofit that I went to and like you can go and it's like $11,000 for the year and you can go any day, anytime and go. And if they just sign up for a boat and if you're a skipper, which is like, if you have enough, you know, experience and you pass the test that you can head man, like helm the boat. Yeah. It's like you can bring people on and, and you can reserve the boat or you go and you just sail and also just give people lessons. It's a non for profit. So to go just as someone that signs up, it's $10.

[Matt]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

I thought the same thing. I, it's gonna be expensive and it's like the most cool, it's like the most affordable.

[Matt]

So do you think you'll get ASA certified? Isn't that what it like the test?

[Sal Volcano]

I think I, I don't know. Like I, I, I think that like I, I don't know what time I'll have to put into that. So the sailing seasons are April till April to October to November, November 1st.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

So I, I may be able to go with him one more time and I gotta wait till April, so, but, but I, I, it's something I do want to do more and more. Like I, I was like, yeah, this is, this is cool because it's one of those things like when you're out there, I don't know if you guys like how wrapped up you are in like this stuff in your world. Everybody, like, I just need, it's great to have an escape. And like when I was out there it was like you really can't think about anything. But it's just like this wonder, wonderful escape, except it's just a to, to focus on something and everything else just goes away. You know, it's like being on stage, that's kind of what happens when I am, you know, doing comedy on stage is like, it's the only thing I could be thinking about. And so oddly it, it brings me such peace. I feel so comfortable.

[Matt]

On your own domain.

[Sal Volcano]

It's perfect.

[Matt]

Chase that, that's great. I love that. What are you asking?

[Heath]

Do they have a little motor or are you just strictly like in the harbor adjusting the sails and stuff?

[Sal Volcano]

I, I can't speak for how it is. Every, this boat had this on. They had 24 and 2026 foot boats which are small. They only have like four people on them. This one had a little motor to get out from the more. Because you're okay.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

You're like docked.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

So to speak. And so you get out using that and then once you pick it up and then you're on the sails.

[Matt]

Wow.

[Zane]

But you could just use the motor the whole time if you wanted, right?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, if you needed to. I guess so.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

You can keep this stuff out, but it's not. But the motor wasn't like a speedboat. It was like a little.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

It's not an electric one to kind of pivot.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Zane]

But like I could see me like faking. So if someone's watching, I'll just like do this. And that motor's going, you know.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. It was wild, though. It's wild because the 24 foot boat, 26 foot isn't that big. Yeah. And like when. When you're sitting in it, you're just sitting on the edge and like, no joke, it's only this much out of the water. So your ass is here. The water is like. You could touch the water just like that. But you're in the harbor. So it's. It's. It's not like it's. It's a. My. It's trippy because you just see these massive boats coming at you and it just. You just feel engulfed. And to be that close to the water too, it's like. It really was like a palpable feeling. It was like pretty exhilarating, actually. Yeah.

[Zane]

I thought ever. I didn't even know sailboats had like a.

[Sal Volcano]

It sounds so fancy, right?

[Matt]

Like, let's go down to the salty br.

[Zane]

It like, sounds like an expensive hobby, but. No. A thousand bucks a year is insane. I. I never thought it'd be that.

[Sal Volcano]

Much or that for this particular non for profit.

[Heath]

But also it's kind of like sailing club. If somebody just out of nowhere be like, I want to sell you're. Is everything okay? Like, I would be like, where. Where are you trying to go? It's not like if you're like, yeah, I just need a hobby. Let me get into tennis. You'd be like, all right, cool, go exercise.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Heath]

But like, like, I'm going to sail.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Matt]

What sailboats though, they got that like tilt though. There's a lot going on. It's hard. I realized I thought I wanted to do it and then I realized I'm more of a pontoon guy.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Matt]

I just want to host a drink. I just feel like I' a little Snap.

[Heath]

Double decker when a slide out the back.

[Zane]

Yeah, like, that'd be super annoying having to, like, host and also.

[Matt]

Grab it.

[Zane]

Grab it.

[Matt]

Oh, my gosh. Sorry, guys. Hold on. Hey, guys. Shoes off. Shoes off.

[Zane]

It's like, it's a terrible birthday party.

[Sal Volcano]

It was no joke. Like, the people working. I was with three people, and they all knew how to sell. And at all times, they're like. They're like, you know, relax and stuff.

[Matt]

And they.

[Sal Volcano]

They love doing it, but at all times, they got something going on.

[Zane]

Yeah, it's.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, eyes all the time calling out stuff. It's always adjusting. I didn't even know that. Like, it was crazy. I just thought you could sail straight. You can't. Yeah, you can't sail if the wind is coming at you. You can't sail into the wind. Yeah, the sails won't catch it. So you have to. Basically, they call it jibing or, you know, so you have to go. If you're going downstream. So you have to sail this way and that. You have to zigzag to go forward. Yeah, it's kind of wild. Or if the wind is hitting you from the east or west. Not directly. It's coming from the side. Then you could sail straight.

[Zane]

It's weir.

[Sal Volcano]

Weird. Yeah, it's weird. They were like, get on the other side of the boat. Like, when we had to, like, switch, like, turn and stuff. Like, they're like. Like the weight has to shift.

[Matt]

Weight.

[Sal Volcano]

Shift weight distribution. And they're pulling stuff. And then they're like, all right, you pull this. And I'm like. I'm like, all right.

[Zane]

Hard.

[Heath]

I know.

[Sal Volcano]

I'm pulling. I'm like, no, not that hard. It was kind of wild, you know, it's. It's fun, though. It's fun. I took the controls, you know.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Okay.

[Heath]

Okay.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Little, like, lever. Like, I'm like, isn't this supposed to be a wheel? But on the small ones, like a little lever.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And, yeah, you just kind of like you're going to the fire, so to speak. The water.

[Zane]

A year. A year and a half ago, I got invited to a. It was called Sail JP is pretty much sale, like, mega sailboats that have, like, two things. Like, it's like, I forget how it's built.

[Matt]

What are they?

[Zane]

Cat.

[Heath]

What are they called?

[Zane]

It's like a catamaran. Catamaran boats, where it's like a sailboat, but it's, like, intense and, like, they do a whole race. And I feel like if you're. If you're going to be into sailing. I feel like you would enjoy watching a sail GP race.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, yeah.

[Zane]

Because these things are insane. It's like sailboat voting, but, like extreme cell boating. And those things will flip right there. Yeah. We got to watch one of those races in person, and it's insane. And I never heard it. I didn't know that this even existed until I saw it with my own eyes.

[Heath]

Ten million dollar race.

[Matt]

Let's go.

[Zane]

That is. And that's an expensive, like that, like when you look at, like. Oh, that's an expensive hobby.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. But they will, they put up the spinnaker sale. That's like the.

[Heath]

Okay.

[Sal Volcano]

Guys, there's the jib. I didn't realize how many terms that we say come from nautical terms.

[Matt]

Oh, of course.

[Sal Volcano]

Like, I was, I was like, are you kidding me? That's from this. Like, there's like, these had like, 20 things I say all the time.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

I was like, you trace it back to, like, sailing.

[Zane]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

It's crazy. But, yeah, the spinnaker sale is like this huge, huge oversized one that's like, usually colorful that they put on in racing. That's like, it's just like they open it up and it's like, oh, my God. And it's like the boat just takes off. Yeah.

[Matt]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

That's. That, that, yeah. We didn't get to do that on ours, but they said next time we could try and do it.

[Heath]

That is really cool.

[Matt]

Your birthday is coming up, right?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. November 6th.

[Matt]

What are you going to do for your birthday?

[Sal Volcano]

I don't know.

[Matt]

6Th of November.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Heath]

It's not.

[Matt]

Remember, remember the 6th. That's the 5th of November.

[Sal Volcano]

Sorry, is it a 5th of November?

[Matt]

Yeah. Be for vendetta, that movie?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I got this one. This one is my 49th, so. Yeah.

[Zane]

So you want to say like, the big one for next year?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, I definitely had to plan something for the, for the big one. This one? I, yeah, I don't know, man. I, I, I'm, I don't know. I'm playing the Chicago theater on the 14th of November, so I might go and like, get an Airbnb and maybe stay there for the week.

[Zane]

Oh, nice. Nice.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. But yeah, it should be a little.

[Zane]

Birthday special on stage.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, I just, my wife just turned 40 and I threw her a surprise party, like, just a moment month ago, and I really got her. I blindsided her.

[Zane]

Oh, nice.

[Matt]

How did you distract her? What did you, like, what did she think? She was attending.

[Sal Volcano]

She didn't. She's good. She likes surprises. So I had already done something for her birthday, so she thought it was not. It was done. Yeah. And it was significant. I did something like really good. That. That should have been the gift. Yeah. You know what I mean?

[Zane]

You took her sailing.

[Sal Volcano]

And. And so she wasn't expecting it. And so like, I just was like, oh, I gotta. I don't. Event for us to go to. But I just. I said I. I was even going to. I was making this whole thing up that like my. Because my friend is. Who's going to be there as a photographer. I was like, there's an event. He's photographing. Photographing. And there's someone that you like at this event that I want you to meet.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

And so I was. That's what I was going to say, but I was like, I want us to go to this event. She's like, don't tell me. Yeah, she's easy. Like, really, don't tell me. I'm like, so I didn't have to even come up with a lie, but she didn't even expect it. And then I just. I really got her. Like, I had people she hadn't seen in a long time, that kind of thing.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

I tried to get a cake of her fa. Like bust of her, like from the cake boss, you know, like the cuz. I met him at a charity event and I got his number and so like, I was like, last minute, I'm like, oh, wait, I'm get like a cake of her whole head. Yeah. You know, and so I texted him like, hey, buddy. Like, I think his name's actually Buddy.

[Zane]

Yeah, his name is Buddy.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

I'm like, any way I can get. You know. And he was like, I can't. I can't pull that together in 48 hours.

[Matt]

Yeah, I need.

[Sal Volcano]

But I tried.

[Zane]

I tried to get a cake for.

[Sal Volcano]

A face, but it was cool. It was cool.

[Zane]

That's amazing.

[Matt]

That's awesome, man.

[Zane]

What was it like the last four. Like the last four years would you do on your birthday? Just keep it, like just dinners, just small dinners, or do you.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, I haven't. I haven't done. I haven't done much for my birthday, Tom. Just about seeing the family, I did try to go, okay, so like, I think it was like maybe last year. They have these things now. So I don't go out anymore. Really. And I. It's. It's crazy for me to go out to like a club. Absolutely. Or something. It Just, it just, it's not going to happen. It's like I can't be out that late, you know, and, and it'd be that loud and that crowded and I'm waiting online somewhere or like even waiting 10 minutes for a drink or like it's just not for me anymore. Yeah. But like I do miss the things that were fun about it. So they're doing these things. That's a new thing they do. I've seen them all over the city. It's the coolest thing. They, they have these like clubs or like these parties for people my age.

[Heath]

No.

[Sal Volcano]

That start at 6 o'. Clock. Okay. That 10.

[Matt]

Brilliant.

[Sal Volcano]

The full club experience.

[Zane]

Wait, that's, that's an incredible idea. I can't believe I like never.

[Sal Volcano]

Dude, it was, I was like. So there's this guy I'm gonna, I'm forgetting the Herbert Holler is his name. He's a promoter and he particularly does old school hip hop. And so he has a full mailing list. Yeah, sorry. That.

[Matt]

Holler back you sail.

[Sal Volcano]

And yeah, and, and like he throws these like these, these awesome like it's all the music I want to hear. It's all 80s, like 80s and 90s hip hop. Yeah. He looks like Moby and he has, he has his own crowd and sometimes he has actual like old school artists come and perform and stuff. And it's from like 6 to 10 and it's like the dopest. The whole app. The vibe is great. Cuz everybody in there, you know, is like they, yeah, they're all appreciating the music. They're all like anyone can go. It's not like a 55 and over community.

[Heath]

The bottle service is 2 liters of diet like Diet Coke.

[Zane]

Miralax.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, no, but, but it sucks. So I did that and we went out. I got there at 6. We hung out. We like dance, we listened to great music, drank, whatever. Ten o' clock. I, I, I went home.

[Zane]

I was exhausted.

[Sal Volcano]

Yes. I was in bed by 11. I'm like. And I felt like I went out and I'm like, oh, I could do this.

[Matt]

Really?

[Zane]

That's the thing. I think like most like most every state, every city should have shit like, like this because like even like because my mom's single right now. She, she has a hard time finding spaces like this where it's not weird to just talk to someone random. Like a restaurant. You can't just go to a random table and just start talking to them.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Zane]

It means you need to be in like a yeah. Event type space.

[Sal Volcano]

Since I found this place, I've seen like two or three other things doing it. Like, not old school hip hop, but like, you know, different. And I'm like. And it's like they're all like, they sell out immediately.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

Because there's nothing like it. And a lot of it's like, yeah, I do want to go hang out still, you know, but like, you know, you can't get that experience at like 6 o' clock.

[Zane]

And music is a big thing. Like, I feel these older. They want to hear what they like, know.

[Sal Volcano]

It's so funny how you're like, I feel like I'm still 18 and I don't feel like I'm an old person. But as I'm saying this, I'm like.

[Heath]

You know, guys, the greatest thing came out. Six to ten.

[Zane]

You're not going to believe it.

[Sal Volcano]

Guys, I'm taking sign lessons and I will go to the nightclub from 6 to 10 as long as I'm home by.

[Zane]

You should. You should at one of your SOPs.

[Sal Volcano]

What?

[Zane]

Who? If there's a Herbert Holler anywhere, you should do an afterparty after your show where all your fans that are that age group can all go there and you guys can all part.

[Sal Volcano]

I have fans of all ages. I. I don't want to make myself seem like I'm like one of the founding fathers.

[Zane]

No, no, I know, but I'm saying it could be really fun because then you'd enjoy yourself too.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. Throw that part. I used to. I bartended for like 10 years and. And I. I ended up imagining the place. Then I end up buying my own place. And so I would throw parties like this all the time. I would throw theme parties like every month. I got known for it. And they used to like write it in the papers and stuff. Oh, and it would be like an 80s prom. Okay. Or Studio 54 night or, you know, like anything in between. Like, and we, we had like. And it was just. And everyone came like, deck to the nines. And I would transform the space and everything. And I. I loved doing it. Yeah. It's so fun to throw like a crazy part like that where you really put like, effort into it.

[Heath]

That. And like, that's what people want, though. They want a dress code.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah.

[Heath]

They want a costume to show up in.

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah. We used to do that. I used to have a pre party. Someone used to volunteer their home. So just like the prom, everybody go to pre party. And then I got limos that would loop from that house to the Bar. So everyone got to pull up in a limo. And then I had a whole like, like a, a prom photographer. And, and it was great. Like every year like I had at the same. I would do one like every two months a different theme. But every year we did the 80s prom. So it was like years long. And so like leading up to it, I, I a neighborhood bar.

[Matt]

Right.

[Sal Volcano]

So like everyone was friends. Like a very artsy kind of bar. And so leading up to it, everybody would be like the month before, like, yo, you have a day for prom.

[Zane]

What's the name this time?

[Sal Volcano]

Yeah, like we really leaned into it. We lamed prom king and queen.

[Matt]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

You know, like that's fun.

[Zane]

We don't like, we, I feel like we just don't see that type of anymore.

[Sal Volcano]

How old are you guys?

[Heath]

32.

[Zane]

33.

[Sal Volcano]

That's when I was doing.

[Zane]

Wait, I don't know.

[Sal Volcano]

Am I 32 or 30?

[Matt]

I went to a prom theme party last weekend.

[Sal Volcano]

Oh, did you?

[Matt]

Yeah, Yeah. I had all like paper moon and everything.

[Zane]

They did a good job. They did a good job with it.

[Matt]

It was great. Committed to the bit everyone was wearing.

[Sal Volcano]

That's the difference maker. If everybody comes in the same mindset.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

It's like, oh, we're here for this. It changes everything.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Zane]

I. The worst thing is going to a theme party and you commit and half the party doesn't commit and you just look like a loser.

[Sal Volcano]

Do we have time still? I don't know.

[Zane]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Zane]

You got something.

[Sal Volcano]

I'll tell you this last because this happened to me only a few months ago. I got invited this really, really crazy party in Manhattan. Of this. I guess he's just very nice. People that are very wealthy throw this really crazy well known like banger of a party.

[Heath]

The Diddy party.

[Sal Volcano]

I was Heath. Guys, you're not gonna go. You guys know I'm Sean Combs? No, but it's always. And every year it's a different theme. And I got invited one year and I went. It's like just wild. Like this like, like Penthouse in Manhattan. That's like four floors with outdoor. With like pool and like everything's going as tattoo artists there. There's this sword swallowers and food and everyone's in costumes and there's a full dance floor and a DJ and it Art. There's art things going on and they project onto the building next door all the. Because it's a white building. They project movies and art. It's just crazy. Crazy part area.

[Zane]

What city was this party in?

[Sal Volcano]

It's in Manhattan. Yeah, it's like downtown Manhattan. Right. And so this year I got invited to it again. And this year the theme was art imitates life. And so you had to basically come dressed as a painting or a piece of art, a sculpture or something inspired by your favorite artist, anything. And so I, I mean my lady and my friend and, and his girlfriend, we're gonna go and my other friends in town from the UK and we're like, oh, I got this. He's only in town one night. I'm like, we're gonna go to this party. And like my friend from the UK is like a high profile person. And then my other friend is another big comedian and like his, his lady is an art. She's an art. She's an artist, an art dealer, our broker. And she's in that world. This was right up her alley. So she made from scratch all of our costumes.

[Zane]

Wow.

[Sal Volcano]

And she went all in like, she made like these really like. Cuz it's like a competition and everything. So we were decked out. She was dressed as a Picasso painting, but like her face was all different. And my wife had this like boa on made out of like latex gloves, like hundreds of them that wrapped around her. We look crazy in the best way.

[Zane]

Like the meow.

[Sal Volcano]

We looked like the meow, right? So, so we go and it's the first five of us and we meet and we're downtown. We go, go to this place and there's a very like, like the building is like security. Like you talk and we go and we get to the lobby and I'm going to this place upstairs. And the lady's like, okay. And she's like looking at us weird. And I'm like, we're going to the party. And she's like, I don't think there's a party. And I was like, oh no, there's a party. I go to it every year. There's definitely a party. And like I did. I had gone to it like once or twice before and, and it's one of those houses where they open. The, the, the, the elevator opens up and you're in the house. Okay. And so we, we go up the elevator and this is like a, like a, it's like a $35 million pen. The elevator opens and we step out right into the middle of the living room of these people's homes. And there's no party. Oh no, no, I got the night wrong. Oh yeah.

[Zane]

No.

[Sal Volcano]

And there's five of us in full garb and they were just eating dinner, and we just stepped into their home and. And.

[Zane]

And I just. How.

[Sal Volcano]

How.

[Zane]

How are you even allowed to get in the house? Like, how is that?

[Sal Volcano]

Well, the. The lady in the lobby, the security let me up because I said, I'm going to this apartment.

[Heath]

I name their name, you know, the person I know.

[Matt]

Oh.

[Zane]

But they didn't bother. They didn't like, ask the.

[Sal Volcano]

No, they just were like, all right, because I know, you know. And then she. She was looking at me and I was like, it's for the party. And she's like, oh, I don't think there's a party. And I was like. And, you know, I'm like, there's a.

[Matt]

There's a party, trust me.

[Sal Volcano]

And it's the greatest party. And then we hit the door open.

[Zane]

It was silent, and I just stepped out. I was in the middle of their.

[Sal Volcano]

Living room and I was like, oh, my God. And then my friends looked at me. I'm like. And then the lady, the owner of the home, like, walked out and she was like, hi. And I was like, hey. She goes, did you mean to come here tomorrow night? And I was like, I think we did. Yeah, I think we did. Oh, yeah, it was crazy.

[Zane]

How long did it take you guys to get ready?

[Sal Volcano]

I mean, you know, a regular amount of time, you know, like, it wasn't.

[Heath]

Did you show back up the next day in the office?

[Zane]

I did.

[Sal Volcano]

I did. And word. And word got out that we were there the night before. Everyone knew. They were like every. I. I don't know these people. I don't know anyone there, you know, but it was like a couple hundred people there and they all heard, you know, cuz they knew, you know, and she. She was gracious. She like, come in, come in. And then. But then I felt weird. Like I. I felt weird to be like, I'm out of here. But then I. And I also felt weird to come in and they were like, eating dinner. And like, I'm just standing there. I'm dressed as that painting with the guy with the apple with the Danish surrealist painter. What's his. Was it Matisse? And I got. I. I got a. I got a bolo hat on with a huge apple right here. I'm in like a suit and a tie and everything. And I'm so.

[Zane]

I hope you have, like, a picture of this. You have a picture?

[Sal Volcano]

I have a picture of. I have a picture of us.

[Zane]

Oh, good.

[Sal Volcano]

Downstairs, once we left.

[Zane]

Okay.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Sal Volcano]

But then we were like, all right, let's just go Out. And we went out that way and everyone was like, we look like crazy.

[Zane]

People go to a random bar. They're like, you're the guys that went to the party.

[Sal Volcano]

So we did go back the next day and it was a great party.

[Zane]

But I.

[Sal Volcano]

You had mentioned something. What were we just talking about that reminded me of that. Said we were going parties.

[Heath]

Oh, celebrating.

[Matt]

Celebrating.

[Sal Volcano]

Going to. Going to the. I don't know. You said something. I was like, oh, my God, this just happened to me. I showed up at the wrong night.

[Zane]

But that's so funny.

[Sal Volcano]

And you know what?

[Zane]

Screw that lady for telling everybody at the party she.

[Heath]

Was.

[Matt]

You'll always get.

[Sal Volcano]

It was celebrated. She was awesome. But I mean, yeah, it was cool for him to even. To be part of something like that is wild. A friend of a friend invited me and introduced me to them. I don't know them, but like. Yeah. But anyway, that was fantastic. I. Yeah, I just shoehorn that. And I hope that was worth it.

[Zane]

That was. That was really funny.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Zane]

That's so good.

[Heath]

Mortifying.

[Zane]

Double check the date, that picture. If they get to see that picture right before you say, what happened? That that's going to hit so hard.

[Heath]

And it's good that you were, like, close enough with them. Like, if you hadn't been there before.

[Sal Volcano]

I was only there one other time and I was invited the year before. I couldn't make it, so. But she remembered me.

[Heath]

Okay, good.

[Sal Volcano]

But like, you know, and then actually, like, there was, like, guys setting up for the party, like, putting up a stage and stuff, but no one else was there. But I felt more and more. Even more as mortified to my friends because I felt. Because they were all dressed up, I got them out of the house. My friend was visiting from the UK for a night. Like, he was in town for, like a night. He couldn't go and he didn't go the next. And I talked it up, you know.

[Zane]

At least he got to, like, be in the house. He gets to see. To see the nice house. It's the most that you could do. That's so funny.
