  1. Found this podcast in the last couple months and love what yall are doing, Im half Irish and Hungarian but love the Italian culture, and Sams videos believe it or not helped me through some dark times recently. Love what all of you are doing. Fan and subscriber 4 life now. Oooh!

  2. Great episode! Sam is one of my favorite content creators out there so loves hearing him talk more about his real life. Good stuff. Keep it up guys!

  3. i fr thought all the diff characters Sam had was just schizophrenia i didnt know they actually had a meaning to them 😭

  4. Nice interview boys. I especially liked that Rocco chimed in more than usual … everything was more balanced and inclusive that way. You guys also showed us the food placed out for yourselves and your guests. That was fire 🔥… shows that Italians are generous people and we spare no expense most of the time. The content of food was very relatable, and I feel a lot of people like that. Michael Kay (CenterStage) would ask his guests their favorite late night snack, and I remember Jay-Z saying his was "raisins and peanuts". That kind of info sometimes sticks with us. Good content you guys. Congrats on the new set too. 👍

  5. This guy is the first guest I don't recognise him being Italian, I am sorry guys, it is only my opinion. I would be so happy if you could invite Mr. Franzese or Sammy Gravano one day 🙏

  6. Sam Alkhatib should do an AMSR video (audio book) or a cameo on "Family Guy": "Get read of, all of the negative thoughts, that you've got in your/ya head. (I respect Pete Davidson.) Namaste, B#%@hes."

  7. Holy fuck living in the Appalachian region of PA and going through YouTube I never expected to see Sam
    I’m from port Richmond Staten Island and I know his mom’s family very very well
