00:00What's up GQ? I'm Sal Vulcano and today I'm going undercover on the internet.
00:06It's actually me.
00:11Quora
00:15What are some lesser-known facts about Sal Vulcano's biography?
00:19When I was in fourth grade, my sister hit me in the face with a Malibu Ken doll. I still have a scar right here.
00:23I got hit by a car when I was four years old. I sleep with six pillows.
00:26My most hated things are traffic sweat, the common cold, strong wind, bugs, cats, pointy objects, and general filth.
00:32I'm sorry, common cold on vacation will usurp traffic in that scenario. Next.
00:37Has a skit ever gone wrong on Impractical Jokers? Yeah, they go wrong.
00:41The cops have been called about four times over the last 12-13 years.
00:47Luckily, the police have always been fans, and so when they arrive,
00:51they say, we get it. Much to the person's that call them
00:55dismay, though. Posted.
00:58All right, let's check out Reddit.
01:02What do we all think is gonna happen to Sal when his daughter gets older and wants a pet cat?
01:06I don't like cats. They can't be trusted. They invade personal space. They have sharp claws. They're predatory and
01:13they shit in the house. I will let my daughter do whatever she wants and find her way,
01:18but I just hope that that road doesn't lead to felines.
01:22Which Joker do you think would have the best music taste? Am I allowed to say myself? I'll tell you who has some shit taste.
01:29Joe and Murr, they relegate themselves to Top 40 radio. I try to enlighten them.
01:35There's a whole nother world out there.
01:36There's some funk and some soul and some jazz and some old deep in the crates hip-hop and stuff, but
01:42you know, they just want that Dua Lipa.
01:45And God bless her, but I want more than Dua Lipa, and Dua Lipa, if you're listening, you understand that.
01:53Now that it's all over, can we finally settle a podcast's biggest debate? Girl Scouts and their cookies, yay or nay?
02:01Okay, this is a reference to my podcast being over, but it's just on a hiatus.
02:05I do two podcasts. One is called Taste Buds, where I debate food with my friend Joe DeRosa.
02:09It is just on a hiatus. Yay or nay for me, Girl Scout Cookies is a yay.
02:14I mean, how do you not want to support these young strong women? If you don't like Girl Scout Cookies,
02:21I think the FBI should do it, like run a check on you. Next.
02:26Has Sal ever admitted he was wrong about anything Taste Buds related?
02:30I'm getting real tough questions here regarding the Taste Buds podcast.
02:33There's a big controversy online about your take that peanut M&M's are a candy bar.
02:38I think the tide might have changed there in my opinion, but well, peanut M&M's, you find them
02:43with all the candy bars. They're chocolate, they're peanut, they're packaged just because they're little,
02:49what would you call M&M's? Discs, spheres, balls? What would you call it if you don't call it a candy bar?
02:55Please write to me by hand with a quill pen at P.O. Box, M&M's, peanut, candy bar, balls, or what?
03:05What are your thoughts on the rise in popularity of crowd work? It's really fun if it's done the
03:10right way. People nowadays are kind of just doing crowd work to get internet clips, which is great
03:16because that is helping a lot of people, but what it's doing is it's training the audience to think
03:20that we want you to scream out, you have a twin sister, or it's your birthday. We really don't.
03:26I would say if the comedian initiates it, fine. If they don't, just shut the fuck up. Post it.
03:33Quora. Let's move on to Quora. What does it feel like to bomb on stage as a stand-up comedian?
03:40A lot like this interview, actually. A lot like it. Just you throw stuff out there, it's dead silent.
03:46You feel like there's really no one else in the room, but the world is watching at the same time.
03:50A little piece of you dies inside. You wonder, is this shirt draped on me the wrong way? You start
03:56thinking, are my nipples showing? Because they are, because I left the house and they were showing,
03:59and every time I looked in the mirror today, they were showing, and they're probably showing now,
04:03and so you start, your mind starts wandering, but you know, as they say, it makes you a better comedian.
04:09How can I get better at stand-up comedy? Give up everything in your life. Prepare to live a life of poverty.
04:18Don't have high expectations. Just know it's a long road, and you really gotta love it. Unless
04:25you get a viral clip that hits, then you'll be right alongside me.
04:30Let's check X. Tweet, tweet. New South Volcano tour dropped. I wonder what his favorite cities to
04:37perform in are, but more importantly, his least favorite LOL. Pittsburgh's always great. Cleveland's
04:43always really wonderful. New York City. Least I don't really like to talk about. Casino crowds
04:49are a different bunch. There's a mixture in there of people that are in their 80s and 90s,
04:53people that have lost money, people that thought I was going to be the Spice Girls, so it's always
04:59interesting to perform at a casino. Who did your Jaden Smith tattoo? I'll get him to do a Savile
05:05Cano tattoo on my upper thigh when I'm in New York. I'm not going to disclose his name because
05:09I do not want you to have an upper thigh Savile Cano tattoo in New York or otherwise. Reply?
05:17Wikipedia. Volcano is a member of the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels.
05:24True! I should learn what comes with it. I don't know if I'm supposed to get some tax breaks.
05:29You know, I don't know if I'm in a position of power in any way. I'll look into that and get
05:32back to you. I'm also a reverend. I married nine friends and family members. I am retired. Do not
05:38ask me to do it for you. Once word got out, I got asked to officiate a wedding once a day
05:43and I've renounced my faith. TikTok. What's that?
05:53Is that a pajama top? It definitely harkens to a pajama top. It's not. It was a decently priced
06:00shirt. Maybe you guys have heard of it. Prada. Sal's worst punishment. Can someone tell me why
06:08Sal is always punished? Okay, on the show Impractical Jokers, if you don't know it,
06:13then I don't know where you're from, but I think it plays everywhere all day and I think that was
06:17part of the deal we signed with the devil. Us and Mario Cantone. If you go to a hotel, that's all
06:22that's on the airwaves. The network took a poll of who they wanted to see punished the most and it
06:28was resoundingly me and the feedback was people like to see me suffer. I suffer in a funny way.
06:35Next. So crazy they're on season 11 now. How do they make it so funny still after all this time?
06:44Well, thank you funnyman6549. I got a team of people that work with us and it's very collaborative
06:50and they're like family. Every season before it starts, we lock ourselves in a room and we figure
06:55how can we make this season different? How many other dick jokes can we make? Things like that.
06:59Posted. Let's check out Instagram, shall we?
07:06For the life of me, I don't know how they film everything in the New York area and no one ever
07:10recognizes them. Okay, we get recognized all the time, but we just don't put that in the show.
07:15That's not what the show is. Think about if you tuned in for a half hour and I showed you
07:2030 people recognizing me one after the other.
07:26I'm just shocked that Deez Nuts existed then. I really thought us Gen Zers created that.
07:32Gabby.tac, are you crazy? Pick up a book. Deez Nuts have been around since like to kill a
07:38mockingbird, bro. I used to deliver pizza. I had a car that was $500 a cost. My friends took
07:43white tape and on the windshield they put Deez Nuts and I delivered pizza like that for one year
07:49with that on the windshield. All right guys, that's it. I am signing off of the internet for
07:54now. That is enough to make me feel bad about myself for a couple of weeks. Come see me on
07:58tour right now. Everything's fine. Tour on sale at salvocanocomedy.com. See you guys on the road.
