We have here with us, one of the best-looking guys in the history of mankind, a little bit too much, too much looks here, Antonio Sabato Jr. here with us. Great to have you on the podcast.

**Antonio Sabato Jr.** (0:39)
My pleasure, my honor.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:40)
Yeah, you know, when we talk to the ladies, it's always the general hospital, right? 92 to 95, the seasons you were on.
And then from there, Calvin Klein, which was everywhere back in the days when the Calvin Klein models meant something at the peak of it, that's when you were in it. Janet Jackson music video, if I'm not mistaken. It's something with Janet Jackson.

**Antonio Sabato Jr.** (0:59)
Love will never do without you. Herb Ritz shot that greatest photographer of all time, Herb Ritz, he's not with us anymore. So I had the pleasure to work with some amazing people. We didn't have the phones and all that stuff back then. It was a different...

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:12)
Just a good time.

**Antonio Sabato Jr.** (1:13)
Just a good time with people talking to each other face to face, not through their phones, their technology. It was about being human beings. And if you got the job, they tell you to your face. Now they send you a message. You know what I mean? They don't even want to talk to you anymore. Different times. We were humans then. You call somebody, you dial the phone. Now it's like, hey man, I'll see you later. Actually leave me a message later. I don't even want to talk to you. You know what I mean? Nobody has the time to do anything, but they have all the time to be negative. You understand that? And I think we appreciated time in the 90s. When I moved to this country in 85 from Italy, it was an honor to become an American citizen. I paid my dues.
My mom from Prague, my dad from Palermo, who wanted to become an actor, Grand Prix, all the greatest movies, especially The Westerns. And my mom was like in Prague, you know? I mean, living, escaping the Communist Party. And my grandmother was the only survivor of Auschwitz, because her brother and their parents were killed at Auschwitz. So my mom, I grew up in Rome not knowing this stuff as a little boy. And then at eight years old, my mom says, we're going to go to Prague, and I'm going to show you and your sister a concentration camp. And I was like, what is a concentration camp? I'm eight years old. So we're driving to Prague from Rome through the Alps, and we get to Prague.
And she shows me these concentration camps, and we're like, they did this, they did that. I remember seeing a lamp, all right, a lamp. And the top of the lamp had the skin of the Jewish people, that the Nazis cut their skin and put it on these lamps. And I'm eight years old, and I'm going, what is, my mom shows everything, the ovens, when they threw all, my family, I found out at eight years old what life was like before I was born. And it wasn't pretty.
And so I learn all kinds of stuff as a little boy, and I suggest everybody in this country, especially the kids and teenagers, wake up and start learning about the past because you're not going to know anything about the future. You know, because you got to learn these things. There's been awful things happening in the past.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:09)
A lot.

**Antonio Sabato Jr.** (3:10)
And we'll get into it. We'll talk about some of that stuff. We'll talk about some of that stuff.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:13)
We'll talk about some of that stuff.

**Antonio Sabato Jr.** (3:14)
That's my family. You know what I mean, bro?

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:15)
Great story. When you came in, you talked about the car, Grand Prix, dad, acting, all that stuff. We'll get into that. We got a lot of stories to get into. So let me kind of cover some of the stuff we got. Yesterday, two days ago, I had been Shapiro on. We're sitting there. While we're about to go live, Tucker Carlson says he's announcing something, then he drops his 10-point plan. A lot of people have reacted to it. We got some thoughts. We'll talk about that as well. There's a fellow in Michigan, senator. He won the primary on the Democratic side.
Abdul El-Sayed, this is a new guy that Vinny's very fond of, which we'll talk about. Hassan Piker had a few things to say about Democrats.
We'll address that. Perez Hilton. You're telling me there's a video I should not watch, and I'm sure you know who he is and what he's done. Yeah, I had him on 10 years ago when we did the podcast. I want to get your thoughts on that one, what's going on, Perez Hilton. Then there's a massive burrito debate, and I know this sounds weird. I don't know if you're following this or not. Yeah, burrito debate shouldn't cost, a burrito shouldn't cost $20, says this young girl who, she's like, look, I understand there's a lot of stuff going on, but $20, give me a flip and break. Bunch of guys have responded to it, and we'll have a conversation about the burrito debate today because it has to do with affordability. And I think both sides need to know there's a massive audience that's thinking about that, especially right now since the Jobs Report came out a few minutes ago with it being what, Tom? Minus...
