Summary

"Live from NYC, you naughty chickens, Harry sits down with OG reality TV superstar, podcast host, and content creator Vinny Guadagnino.

Vinny shares how he was never a relationship guy but wants to settle down as he gets later into his 30s, what he's searching for in a partner, what the biggest misconception about Vinny is, the infamous Snooki punch that made the show blow up from the start, his experience of Dancing With The Stars, testing out stand-up and more!
