People who actually know their stuff, not just some kid who'd rather be on his phone playing video games. I use these guys. I used the one out in Glendale, California before that.

Ho, ho, mitä heijää? Me ei olla kyllä tilattu pukki, ja joulu on vielä aikaa. Ja mitä sä taas niinku oikein touhuat? Eikä tuon, mä tuon sitä aattona kyllä uudestaan. Tulin tällä ennakkoon tuomaan vaan joulukuusen ja läjän koristeita. Mitä tää sekoilu tulee sulle taas oikein maksamaan? Massit saan korkojen kerran takaisin, joulumielenä. Sillä itse asiassa. Itse asiassa.

146.564 - 154.295 Unknown

Viilteemasta löydät kaiken, mitä tarvitset pukin konttiin ja tunnelman luomiseen. Oli kysymys sitten omasta tai kaverin joulusta. Itse asiassa.

Chapter 2: What practical jokes does Sal Vulcano reminisce about?

605.406 - 621.227 Sal Vulcano

But I'll meet you at the VIP, at the Lakers Crypto. The game starts at 7. I'll meet you there at 6.15 out front. And she goes, well, we're going to Uber. What time should we leave? I go, check the ways. Just check the ways.

0

622.33 - 647.275 Sal Vulcano

Should we leave at like five? I go, I don't know from La Cunada to crypto. I don't know. But just look. I said, do you have ways? She goes, yeah, I'll go. Just check it up until that time and then call the Uber. And then you won't. And then it's three times. And then at some point while I'm sitting in traffic, I get the 545. We're all here. We're out front of VIP. Where are you? And I'm like.

0

647.255 - 661.56 Sal Vulcano

I'm a half hour away, sweetheart. And she's like, oh, well, we don't, we're just going to wait. And I'm like, because I begged, I begged for the way I begged for that. Yeah. We didn't know how long it was going to take. So we left early. It's like, it's all fine. But now I have service.

0

661.64 - 685.984 Sal Vulcano

I'm in traffic because I I'm a half hour away, but it's because you're a half hour early, but you're just standing out front of the, of the entrance. Now there's nothing to do. So I'm like driving and trying to pick my way through and make my way. And at some point, I see my lane is slowing down, but the lane next to me is open. I'm just going to slide out and move over.

686.604 - 712.22 Sal Vulcano

So I signal for a good 100 feet. I start to slide out. And as I slide out, I see there's a Ram truck moving at a pretty good rate of speed that is coming up. Now, I'm not close to it. But if I do the move, I am going to cut him off. I'm not going to cut him off, but I'm going to get in front of him. He's 80, 100 feet, and he's moving at a good clip. So I start to move out.

713.522 - 738.936 Sal Vulcano

I get about three feet out of my lane. I see in my rear view the guy's trucking down, and I move back into my lane. He pulls up next to me, slows down to my speed, and just starts riding the horn. And I'm like... are other people allowed to drive on your freeway here? It's like, yes, I tried to change lanes, but then I saw you, so then I moved back.

738.976 - 740.479 Rudy Povich

You couldn't have played it better.

741.06 - 764.334 Sal Vulcano

I guess I could have never been born, according to the guy in the Ram. And that would have been celebrated at his house. But short of being stillborn or having a rollover type thing with my mom because she was overweight. No, I started to do something and then I saw you and then I moved back. So then he slows down next to me.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights of Sal Vulcano's comedy tour?

1403.117 - 1404.98 Sal Vulcano

So he's a blue-collar dude.

0

1405.12 - 1406.762 Rudy Povich

Yeah, and he was an HVAC guy.

0

1406.782 - 1408.064 Sal Vulcano

HVAC guy.

0

1408.244 - 1419.421 Rudy Povich

He could build a... Admittedly, I don't have that skill set. He would build rooms in our house and stuff and knock down walls and stuff. I'm not that handy that way.

0

1419.782 - 1446.171 Sal Vulcano

I will tell you this as a reason, not that my kids, I don't think, will possess any of this, or maybe they will, but... I talk to guys that are in the white-collar world, in show business. I was just hanging out with Nick Santora, who writes Reacher and Prison Break and every movie. He does everything. And whatever the Schwarzenegger series is, he does it all. But...

1446.151 - 1471.481 Sal Vulcano

Every time that guy opens his mouth, he has such reverence for his blue-collar dad. And it's like you make 20 – no, 20. You make 150 times as much as your dad ever made and whatever. It's like my dad, he knew a tuck trowel from a bullnose trowel. And he could build. And he could build. And there's like a reverence, like a real salt of the earth, pardon the pun, kind of reverence.

1471.501 - 1493.574 Sal Vulcano

My dad is like to this day a superhero to me. And that's what I'm saying. Again, I don't think my kids will have that with me. Like, he's a douchebag. He likes to talk. Yeah, he knew what a hammer was. What of it? But it's like one more – like when you're just sitting in a cubicle pushing paper, kids don't wax poetic about that. But when they go, my dad could fix any car.

1493.594 - 1513.84 Sal Vulcano

He could fix – he would build me a go-kart. Like they have a real – visceral reverence for that guy who worked with his hands, you know? And I think that's good. I think you should strive for that. Like your kids should see you build them something. Yeah, yeah. More than Ikea.

1513.82 - 1530.951 Rudy Povich

Yeah, I can build some Ikea, but you know you're right I I would have loved to have learned that skill set but like I I feel like There's things I want to do now when I get a little time I'm waiting for like to get a little time, but like I just I just took our sailing lesson and

Chapter 4: What are the effects of ranch dressing on today's youth?

4025.397 - 4028.603 Sal Vulcano

I think they're going to discover a correlation between...

0

4028.583 - 4052.852 Sal Vulcano

intake of ranch and low testosterone and no rough housing like if you saw a chart like by the ranch was not a part of my childhood now they're dipping pizza into it they're drinking it out of the container you know their main line my kid had an ivy with ranch just to eat fries you know ranch i was about 30 i didn't know what ranch was a weird salad dressing maybe but

0

4052.832 - 4072.29 Sal Vulcano

Yeah, ranch is a weird thing that wasn't part of the offering, you know? And if you see the intake of ranch, you'll also see low T and no rough housing and no rough and tumble play. Like, it's ranch. It may be ranch that caused all this. I blame Big Ranch.

Chapter 5: How does Sal Vulcano relate his childhood experiences to modern parenting?

4072.37 - 4094.174 Sal Vulcano

I blame... They're hidden there in that valley trying to kill our kids. They're hiding in that valley. Because it was not... people under 40 cannot order food without a side of ranch. You can't get fries or chicken tenders. You go, I'll do some. You have some ranch, too.

4094.695 - 4095.897 Rudy Povich

We had ketchup. Ketchup was it.

0

4095.937 - 4098.56 Sal Vulcano

Ketchup was it. That's as far as we went.

0

4098.62 - 4101.004 Rudy Povich

I feel like that's all I need to this day is ketchup.

0

4101.304 - 4102.806 Sal Vulcano

I know, because you're over 40.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the social media tax proposed by Chicago's mayor?

4103.247 - 4126.73 Sal Vulcano

When you're under 40, you need ranch. All right, let's give you a plug. I know you got a hard out, so... You got places to be. But you can come back anytime. Thanks. Thanks for having me. Thanks for making the time. I appreciate it. Oh, it's our pleasure. Live show, Everything's Fine Tour. Portland coming up. Salt Lake City coming up. San Diego coming up. Special, Terrified.

Well, if you're a homeowner in America, you need to hear this. There's a kind of real estate fraud going on. It's all around us now, and it's called title theft.

4162.591 - 4192.327 Sal Vulcano

The FBI has been warning about this, and yeah, your home equity, well, that's the target. Here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature, use a fake notary, file one document, Do it with the county. And on paper, they now own your home. They can take out loans against your equity, even sell your property. And you don't find out until notices start showing up in the mail.
