It's funny, thought-provoking, and incredibly informative. Episode Highlights:* Early Musical Roots: Josh shares stories of growing up in L.A., starting drum lessons at the age of two and a half, and learning music theory from his legendary uncle, Dave Samuels.* Dual Passions: How Josh navigated his love for both performing on stage and playing in orchestras, eventually fusing both into a career in musical theater.* Cruise Ship Hustle: Becoming a music director at age 21 and realizing pit drumming was his true calling.* Move to NYC: Josh recounts his unexpected relocation to New York and how one subway ride introduced him to Broadway drummer Gary Seligson, kick-starting his networking journey.* Landing Marvelous Wonderettes & Godspell: Hear how obsessive preparation, transcriptions, and laser-focused practice helped Josh build a strong reputation as a sub.* Radio City Christmas Spectacular: What it's really like to play 200+ shows in two months with the Rockettes—and why this gig is one of the most demanding in the business.* Subbing Philosophy: Learn why being effective matters more than being right, how to take notes without ego, and why watching the conductor is non-negotiable.* Building a Career: Josh offers insight into the importance of relationships, people skills, and being someone others want to be around, on and off the bandstand.Key Takeaways:* “Subbing is a people game. It's not just about chops—it's about trust.”* “Obsessive preparation isn't about showing off—it's about honoring the gig.”* “You don't succeed on Broadway because you're the best player. You succeed because you're the best fit.”About Joshua Mark Samuels:Josh currently holds the drums/percussion chair at Maybe Happy Ending on Broadway.

Actor Chazz Palminteri called in to BT & Sal and Sal kept yelling, ‘I've got a Bronx Tale for ya Chazz'. How do you pronounce ‘Norfolk'? It sounds like you're saying the ‘F' word.

Bill Belichick has been so unpredictable since leaving New England. He is all over the media, he has a 24 year old girlfriend, and he's interviewing for a college head coaching job. Boomer thinks Belichick already has a skeleton staff ready to go. Boomer wants the Giants to hire him. The Giants are celebrating their 100th season and they have 2 wins. Sam Darnold is going to be available after this season. So will Kirk Cousins although Gio said, ‘he looks cooked'. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Cowboys screwing up a punt they blocked which put the Bengals in a position to win it, and they did. Actor Chazz Palminteri called in to BT & Sal and Sal kept yelling, ‘I've got a Bronx Tale for ya Chazz'. How do you pronounce ‘Norfolk'? It sounds like you're saying the ‘F' word. In the final segment of the hour, we got a weird gift that we are going to open.

Hour 1 We open the show talking about Juan Soto and the Mets. Would one World Series for the Mets be enough for the fans or do they need multiple Championships for this to make sense for them? Baseball is still made up of the haves and have nots. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Bengals beating the Cowboys thanks to a misplay on a blocked punt. The Knicks beat the Raptors in Toronto. Brian Cashman talked about the offer they made to Soto. They intend to ‘do some business' but they will be smart about it. David Stearns was asked about Pete Alonso staying with the Mets. The Rangers lost so Jerry had Sam Rosen on the call as they gave up a goal. In the final segment of the hour, they arrested the killer of the United Healthcare CEO. And Daniel Penny was acquitted of all charges. Hour 2 OnlyFans model, Ava Louise, showed messages from an unnamed Giants player giving her tickets to the game so she could flash the Saints to distract them. She took the tickets and indeed, flashed the Saints. It didn't seem to distract them though. Boomer said the Giants need Bill Belichick here to straighten everything out. A caller thinks Tommy DeVito is the one who reached out to the model. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the fact that there was a Simpsons alternate broadcast for Cowboys/Bengals. Eagles player Brandon Graham went on WIP and said there is a personal rift between AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts. He had to apologize for revealing that. In the final segment of the hour, we go through our favorite ‘Chazz Jizzm' mistakes by broadcasters. Hour 3 Bill Belichick has been so unpredictable since leaving New England. He is all over the media, he has a 24 year old girlfriend, and he's interviewing for a college head coaching job. Boomer thinks Belichick already has a skeleton staff ready to go. Boomer wants the Giants to hire him. The Giants are celebrating their 100th season and they have 2 wins. Sam Darnold is going to be available after this season. So will Kirk Cousins although Gio said, ‘he looks cooked'.

Once again, I am answering fan questions that cover everything from nostalgia to life's big lessons. I share stories about my Italian roots and why Italy has such a special place in my heart, especially when it comes to the classic mob movies. I also take a look back at the 60s and 70s to talk about what I miss most from those decades.   Living in New York has shaped me in so many ways, and I'll open up about how the city's intensity has influenced my worldview, career, and approach to life. Plus, we're getting personal with topics like forgiveness when family causes pain, dealing with anxiety, and how to handle a shrinking social circle as time goes on.   On the lighter side, I answer a few fun questions—like the dessert I'd eat every day if calories didn't count, my favorite spots on Arthur Ave, and a role I'd love to play: a crooked priest. And of course, I tackle the age-old question: What's the saddest thing in life? (Hint: it's a classic line from A Bronx Tale.)   If you have any questions, comment on this video, write them on instagram or DM me! I will answer just about anything that you throw at me

I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY which ultimately led to writing one of my favorite pieces of work. My movie "A Bronx Tale". Sandy is a retired NYPD officer, my personal body guard and a great friend. This man is the epidemy of an old school New Yorker. Everybody has their own views, I am not walking in your shoes, I dont know what you have been through and I respect everybody's opinion. I am always open to listen and to learn, so lets have an open honest discussion.
