In this episode, Vinny breaks down everything that went down at the Jersey Shore Family Vacation premiere party — from influencer chaos to behind-the-scenes moments, plus what it felt like to be part of what might be the end of an era for MTV. Then it spirals into viral fame, being stuck in a character, freestyle rap vs “fake freestyle,” and the weird world of influencers and reality TV. We also get into Wild ‘N Out stories, bombing in front of crowds, and the kind of off-the-rails conversations that somehow take us from Jersey Shore to internet culture and beyond.
