Holy shit.
Thank you so much.
God damn.
Wow.
You think there'd be more money.
You really would.
It's funny because you talked to us when you were like, oh, have you done it?
We haven't done anything.
Oh, you.
But then we got, I look at this.
I'm, holy shit.
Stop it.
But you're killing it.
I thought you were reading TV and guys.
You guys are killing it.
Thank you, buddy.
I heard the numbers are true to roof.
I can't confirm more than I.
No, you guys are, first of all, I am honored to be here.
I'm a big fan of the show.
Thank you, buddy.
As you know, because I've had both of you guys on my show.
Yes, thank you.
Great podcast.

And really enjoyed it.
And Toby, I'm going to have you on.
I heard there's no driver's license, so we'll have to send a call.
But yeah, you guys, I'm really honored to be here.
You're doing a great job, and I really enjoyed it.
Appreciate that, man.
Like I said, when you were on my show, I got a lot of comments about the commonality
of
everything.
Oh, that's awesome.
I appreciate that.
Yeah, it was cool.
Yeah, it was a good time.
This is so old school, man.
You know, OG, it's unbelievable.
Yeah, it's fun.
It's nice to do that.
We talked because you were theater school.
Yeah.
I mean, acting and stuff.
Yeah.
You know, it's like now you can't just be a stand-up.
You've got to be a podcaster.
You've got to be doing shit.
You've got to do everything.
Great.
Now I'm a fucking renaissance man.
I've got to come up with a flying machine.
I want Da Vinci to go, go to my Patreon and make a shit fly.
Did we mention the vegan bakery that he has downtown in L.A., folks?
What is the origin story of Adam Ferrari?
Queens kid.
I know you're a Queens kid.
I was born in Hillcrest in Jamaica, and we moved out.
My father was in a plumbing business.
Okay.
My grandfather and his father.
That's right.
We talked about this on yours, but yeah, same with us.
Yeah, Italian.
Yeah, yeah.
No, Dutch.
Listen to my accent.
Yeah, Italians, and my uncle and my father worked for my grandfather in a
plumbing business
in Queens.
Okay.
The neighborhood was changing, and my father says, we're getting a helani.
We're going out to the island.
I was a baby, boys.
I don't even remember.
That was it.
Everybody, the island.
Yeah, and the island just meant, you know, like tumbleweeds and shit.
There was nothing.
The original suburb.
Yeah, so we moved out.
They bought the house, and I think we talked about this.
My father actually built the house.
That's crazy.
What?
Yeah, well, he modified it, and he didn't go to school for this stuff.
They were just self-taught guys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your dad, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, so one day I came home, and my father off school is in a bulldozer.
We had a corn allot, and he's cutting a circular driveway.
I remember this.
That's the most Italian shit I've ever heard in my life.
You're cutting your own circuit.
Yeah.
Italians don't like the reverse.
Well, we're going to put the fountain, Kippy.
Yes.
We're going to put the fountain.
You need a couple of lion statues and shit.
So he's on a bulldozer, and I said, Pop, how did you learn?
I rented it, which is what we're doing today, and he cut the circular driveway.
He would just do it, man.
That's the thing that amazes me.
There was no fear.
There was nothing.
There was just do.
Oh, no.
Oh, I'm all fear, dude.
I can't even hang blinds in my apartment.
Yeah, we talk about that all the time, the difference in generations of, like,
you know,
with us, how not men we are compared to, like, our parents and grandparents.
Yeah.
So who came over?
Was it?
I think, here's the right thing.
I think my nonna, which is my great-grandmother on my mother's side, I think
was from the old
country.
She didn't speak English.
She had two teeth, and we're pretty sure she was a cocaine addict.
Sounds like a nice lady.
Yeah.
Oh, she was.
She cooked for you all day, because she didn't sleep.
Oh, of course.
There's something about older, like, grandmothers, when they hit, like, 80,
they just never
sleep.
They're up.
They're just up.
I think she was chemically enhancing.
Yeah, sure.
She had, remember the snuff that they would-
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Tobacco?
Yeah.
So she would send my grandfather, who drove a fruit truck in Queens, down to
the docks to
pick up this snuff.
I'm like, why don't you go to fucking snuff?
To the docks.
Yeah, to the docks.
And she came back and got, and when she didn't get it, she was angry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I kind of figured she was up, and the teeth were gone, so she had meth
mouth.
Meth mouth in the 20s.
Yeah.
All hopped up on crank.
Talk about an OG.
I like it.
Yeah, so that was my mother's side of the family.
So I think my mother's mother was born here.
Okay.
My father's family was here for a little bit longer.
And so his father had a successful plumbing business.
Yeah, a little plumbing business in Queens.
My uncle, my uncle Louie, my father worked for him, but my father wanted to be
like creative
and stuff.
You know, it's like he just didn't want to do the plumbing.
I got you.
He wanted to do like kitchens and bathrooms, and that's how we designed stuff.
And let's be honest, boys.
I can do plumbing.
I can't do it well.
Yeah, I know.
Shit don't go uphill.
Damn, now you know it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I couldn't do any of that shit.
No?
No, I'm terrible with that stuff.
Well, you worked for your dad.
Well, it depends what you're doing.
I mean, if it's like PVC or whatever, yeah.
It's plastic.
Yeah, they call it throw and go.
It's like glue and fucking primer, and that's it.
I know how to pee on the floor.
That's the best I can do.
I was mainly the digging guy.
They were like, here, dig this hole six feet.
Oh, I was the cement guy.
And then we'll come in and do work for 20 minutes, and then you fill it back in.
Yeah.
I was the ripout guy, because you can't really break anything.
Sure.
And I load in the trucks, and then when I got my license, it was great, because
I could drive,
so I could go and run shit back and forth in the job.
Oh, it's the best.
I think we talked about it on my show.
We did, yeah.
That was my dream.
When I was like 14, I was like, wait till I get my license.
Yeah.
I'll be driving that pickup truck.
Oh, running, getting 10 bucks an hour.
That's 400 bucks in my pocket.
Go get lunch.
This is how garbage we were.
We had a 70 Coupe Deville.
My mother had a Cadillac.
And she flicked a cigarette out the window.
We thought she flicked a cigarette out the window.
Came around the back.
There's Benson and Hedges.
Landed in the back seat.
We wake up the next day, and there's smoke just coming out of the back.
It was in the back seat of the car.
It was like black smoke.
Like, oh, we have a poke.
Right, so coming out of the car.
And so my father ripped the back seat out.
And we figured we can get lengths of pipe in it, a half-inch copper pipe.
We always had to run those lengths to jobs, right?
So we could get them in th
