This episode is WILD from the jump.
We sat down with Fat Jay, Long Island's most savage comedian, and no topic was off limits:
➡️ Ozempic vs. Metamucil
➡️ Childhood fat camp flashbacks
➡️ Sour Patch-flavored bud
➡️ Why he’d never let his girl cheat (even for $42 million), or would he?
➡️ Uncrustables, BBLs, and the token fat kid theory
➡️ And the realest take on comedy culture from someone who's lived it.

We get into the highs, the lows, the stoned munchy-fueled middle of stand-up, social media, and why family Sundays at 3PM just hit different.

If you’ve ever laughed at a heckler, hit a vape before a set, or just needed your grandma’s sauce one last time—this episode’s for you.

We’re turning up the HEAT with social media sniper Jake Fine — the brains behind viral interviews, UFC content, and the secret sauce to blowing up on TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. In this wild episode, Mario and Franco flip the script and grill Jake about everything: from editing for Aljamain Sterling, to surviving the worst nut shot of all time (literally ruptured), to how cheating stories, “girl’s night out” chaos, and savage viral hooks dominate your feed. We dive into trend-hacking, fake influencers, gorilla fights (yes, that MrBeast one), and whether UFC fighters are really the most underpaid athletes on Earth. And yeah… we might've just found the softest male names known to man.

If you care about growing on social media, mastering the algorithm, or just want to laugh at painfully relatable dating trauma and gym bro wisdom — this is your episode.

🎯 Featuring:

• Viral content strategies that ACTUALLY work in 2025
• A real-life story of surviving a ruptured testicle (it’s insane)
• UFC insider talk: Aljo, Jon Jones, and fighter pay
• Cheating psychology & emotional damage breakdowns
• And the age-old debate: Can 100 men beat a silverback gorilla?
• Franco opens up about his cancer diagnosis

We fired up The Oven and brought the Queen of Long Island eats herself — Gabby from Eating Long Island. In this mouthwatering episode, we’re talking viral April Fools pranks (shoutout to the fake In-N-Out news that broke Long Island), legendary burger wars (All American vs. In-N-Out, it gets heated), and Gabby’s 10-year rise from low-key food spammer to one of the Island’s most trusted taste-testers.

But it’s not all gravy — we get spicy:
- What’s the most overrated food on Long Island?
- Who’s slinging the best donuts in Suffolk?
- Should you ever put ice in red wine? (Spoiler: no.)
- Where are the cutest date spots for when Mario finally settles on one girl?

Plus: foodie red flags, fluff slander, Yelp beef, and Franco nearly fights a grandma slice. It’s unhinged. It’s honest. It’s delicious.

- Chef’s Kiss or Chef’s Miss!
- Do you share milkshakes?
- Boneless wings: blessing or blasphemy?
- Is using a fork for sushi acceptable? (Gabby has thoughts.)

This is the ultimate Long Island foodie episode — funny, chaotic, and packed with real-deal recs. Hit play, get hungry, and don’t forget to spank that subscribe button.

Mini Oven 54: We start with a good laugh as Mario puts Franco on the spot, asking for his advice on recession-proof stocks and how to counteract the effects of Trump’s tariffs. We’re not that kind of show…

What’s cookin’ in The Oven today:

- They’ve revived the Dire Wolf, with that said, which animals would you bring back from extinction? Shoutout to THE Ray Romano, Woolly Mammoth, Carrier Pigeon, Hedwig, Sea Cow, Dodo Bird, Megalodon, Dinosaurs (did they really exist?), Woolly Rhinoceros, Saber-Toothed Tiger, & the Barbary Lion.
- The Oven is going to Tuscany?
- Which animal do you wish they replaced with the Dire Wolf? Mario is quick to say rats, or all rodents, and snakes. But Franco warns him that’s not a great idea and he should learn from Bryce Mitchell’s mistakes. He even says we shouldn’t kill spiders either because they help control other insect populations. Wait, Geese & Swans have teeth?! Franco’s getting rid of them first.
- Baseball season’s here and Mario wants to know Franco’s favorite Sunflower Seed flavors. We love Chinook Seedery & David Seeds.
- Which movies have the best soundtracks? Coach Carter, A Night at the Roxbury, The Hangover, Get Him to the Greek, Never Back Down, The Longest Yard, Kong: Skull Island, Shrek, & High School Musical. How about Adam Sandler’s decline?
- Apparently, Rob was a very talented singer in High School. He was in All County Chorus and NYSSMA. Franco vents about our old chorus teacher, Mrs. Conte.
- La Aroma de Cuba, hit us up! Mario loves their “El Jefe” & “Immensa” cigars & we wish they’d answer our DMs and emails.
- On Hinge, we have to compete with the hot guys and now ugly guys too?! Mario’s ability to look in and out of shape at the same time & his upcoming trip to Scottsdale. Should he delete Snapchat?
- Shoutout to Eric at Ridgewood Station Tavern: We never saw this Osama bin Laden 9/11 question coming…
- What kind of travelers annoy you? Hogging the armrest, leaning your seat back, & bringing a meal on a flight, FaceTiming in public without headphones, traveling in sandals or flip flops, eating halal on the train, bogging down the moving walkway, and taking up too much overhead space.

Mini Oven 53: Mario opens up with a funny story involving Franco and his truck. Then we talk about our new camera set up while Franco bashes Mario’s gray sweatpants, hairline, & SNL Season 50 hat.

What’s cookin’ in The Oven today:

- What’s an unattractive physical feature that you find attractive? Colored hair, freckles, beauty marks, wandering eyes, lazy eyes, bangs, cankles, and a bush?!
- There’s nothing worse than… sweating after the shower, needing to poop after the shower, waking up more tired after a nap, getting your food last, forgetting to put your phone on do not disturb, biting into rotten sunflower seeds, failing to put bed sheets on, getting stuck behind a school bus, using wet bathing suits, socks, or blankets, and not dressing warm enough.
- Mario & Rob even hit us with a little “They say” involving a Nappuccino.
- P.S. Don’t invite Franco over if you have a no shoes rule
- What are the best pasta shapes? Rigatoni, Spaghetti, Farfalle, Tortellini, Pappardelle… Miss us with the Ravioli
- Do you expect a reply when you share a Reel?
- Which are your top streaming services? We even discuss some of our favorite shows like 1923 & Silent Library
- Do you keep leftover fast-food sauces?

We’re celebrating our 100th episode at one of our favorite spots - Ridgewood Station Tavern in Wantagh, NY. Joining us are Vinny and Tom, aka Lavish Life, your favorite country music and EDM duo. They drop a huge secret on us, sorry for the "bleeps"!

Here’s what we discuss:
⁃ How Vinny and Tom connected to form Lavish Life, and their first remix of Morgan Wallen
⁃ The delicious spread of food at Ridgewood
⁃ Sign, Feature, or Drop? Jason Aldean, Chris Stapleton, or Zach Bryan. Shouts to Rick Rubin.
⁃ Marry, One Night, or Ghost? Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, or Carrie Underwood
⁃ In honor of The Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival: Creed or Nickelback? What is Grunge music?
⁃ If you could only listen to one genre of music, which would it be? Tom’s baseball career got him into country. Which songs are must-haves for a batting practice playlist? What would your walk-up song be?
⁃ What have they learned from Post Malone’s ability to move from genre to genre?
⁃ The respect for Country music, its growth, and its ability to stay traditional but also move towards contemporary. Mario’s experience seeing George Strait perform All My Exes Live in Texas live.
⁃ An embarrassing karaoke story
⁃ What drove them to mix country music and EDM? Their remix of “Last Night”. Do they like the term YeeDM? They consider themselves the Country Chainsmokers. & Shoutout to Country Swag.
⁃ Stories from their shows at EDC in Vegas with Tiesto, Martin Garrix, & DJ Snake’s manager
⁃ Their creative process: What comes first? The beat or the lyrics?
⁃ Having Italian parents & telling your parents you’re chasing your dream instead of taking the “safe” route. Taking criticism from friends who don’t support or believe in you. Life is short, do what excites you.
⁃ What’s one NYC, Long Island, or Nashville backdrop they’d want for a set? From the Hamptons, Pirate’s Cove, Jones Beach Theater, Aldean’s, MSG, The Paramount & Gavin DeGraw, they’re all over the place with this one.
⁃ What’s their secret sauce for success?
⁃ Is it “on Long Island” or “in Long Island” and is Westchester “Upstate”?
⁃ Their upcoming single “Nobody but You” with Brody Clementi
⁃ Their respect and admiration for Jimi Hendrix & Derek Jeter

Franco is taken back by Mario’s getup before they sit down with former MLB catcher and World Series Champion, Pat Cantwell.

Here’s what we discuss:

• Why did Mario and Pat choose catching?
• Is catching the hardest position in all of sports? or is it hockey goalie?
• The challenges of playing during the COVID pandemic
• Winning a World Series with the Texas Rangers beside his former college teammate Travis Jankowski - Shoutout Stony Brook!
• Choosing to play college baseball for Coach Matt Senk at Stony Brook University was the best decision Pat ever made
• The best advice Pat received at Stony Brook
• Our favorite ballparks: Alex Box Stadium and the fans at LSU & Oriole Park at Camden Yards
• What it’s like catching Jacob deGrom’s and Aroldis Chapman’s slider
• The toughest pitchers he’s faced: Ranger Suarez & Lance McCullers Jr.
• The MLB’s new rules, mainly the pick-off rule (disengagement rule). It doesn’t seem to be affecting catchers, like Freddy Fermin & Logan O’Hoppe.
• We don’t see many guys like Greg Maddux & Kyle Hendricks in the game anymore - Does Pat believe in analytics?
• Pat’s most outlandish mound visit story involving a pitcher who blacked out and almost puked at the University of North Carolina
• Our top 5 catchers of all time: Yadier Molina, Yogi Berra, Johnny Bench, Iván “Pudge” Rodriguez, & Buster Posey…. Forget Franco, we’re leaving out Mike Piazza and Salvador Pérez, but Jorge Posada and Joe Gerardi have our hearts. What about Javy López?

• Big League Chew, Gatorade flavors, Chinook Sunflower Seeds, the best clubhouse snacks, & the best mascot… Mr. Met? Phillie Phanatic?
• Pat wishes he could catch a bullpen for Nolan Ryan… we still love Robin Ventura though…
