Hey, big shout out to 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:57.360 Henry Davidson, our off air show elder Jacklo my friend, dude, 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.680 he came out and showed up at the event. I 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.000 was at this place called road Ready Used Cars in 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.240 and Sonia five twenty Main Street. Check it out. It is. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.520 You know what the owner of the place did very cool. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.920 So the owner of the place, he's been in um 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.320 He's been in car sales for umpteen amount of years, 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.319 and he started as a kid, worked as all the 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.000 way and worked it, worked his way all the way up, 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.760 and he realized that people like, for instance, scary when 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.520 I say to you a used car lot, like you 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.360 have a vision, I'm a used car lot, A guy 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.840 in a really bad seersucker sports jacket trying to sell 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.559 me a galop? And what does the used car lot 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.640 look like to you? Yeah, get paid the picture this 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.800 car a lot is. They usually have a wacky waving 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.000 inflatable arm, flailing tube man there or something, a couple 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.520 of signed flippers right the flipping signs you know, I 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.600 get a deal here. And then a guy comes out 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.960 and that searsucker jacket. He goes, oh, I'm gonna make 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.000 you an offer you can't refuse, and he's he coming 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.680 out of where, out of a building, kind of a house. 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.600 I'm a hut, a junkie little area in the back. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.960 And then you know that. Then he sells you the car, 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.760 and then you drive up the lot and then you know, 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.360 like ten blocks later, you already have a flat tire 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.760 and the thing is smoking from the hood. That's exactly correct. 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.320 That's what I think of when right. So what this 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.840 guy did was because this guy, now, um, you know, 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.200 he's done his research, he knows the business. So what 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.120 which I didn't know about? If you buy a certified 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.760 pre owned car, right right? Did you know that by law, 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.280 it can only be a certified pre owned car if 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.079 it's beneath a certain amount of mileage. So what happens 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.079 is a lot of these high end cars like BMW 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.560 and Mercedes and Jaguar and land Rover and blah blah blah. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.600 They would love to get rid of these cars and 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.440 classify them as certified pre owned, but they can't because 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.720 let's say a consumer takes it over the over the 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.400 over the mileage, even if it's by one my so right, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.720 so this guy he knows this. So what he did 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.800 was in his brain he envisioned a new form of 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.519 a used car lot. So he built the very first one. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.720 Now it's called you know, road ready, which is not 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.880 a sponsor not paying for his road ready the car 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.600 they could be, they could be. And he built a 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:08.080 modern day beautiful building socility that's comfortable to walk into, 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.520 that you don't feel ashamed. I'm going to buy a 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.919 car in this What he does is he knocks on 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.280 the door to these BMW dealers and these Mercedes and 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.560 all Zion and he takes these cars off their hands 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.720 because these guys are like, well, we can't sell them 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.080 now as certified pre owned. What do we do? And 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.000 everybody wants everybody's conditioned now to buy certified pre owned. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.960 The consumer is like, oh, I gotta buy a certified 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.040 pre owned, but they don't really, so when it just 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.160 says used, they don't want to buy. The word used 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.000 has negative. So he says, frigg that I'll take those 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.480 cars that are not quote unquote certified pre owned and 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.000 I'm gonna sell him at my lot. So he's got 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:49.640 Harley Davidson's, he's got bm double Yeah, hammers, the whole thing. Yeah. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.800 And people are like, you gotta there's something lined up 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.760 to get into this used car lot. Well, you don't 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.440 call it that your right, right, right? So it is 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.000 it is tech really a used car lot. But when 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.240 you see it, you think you're going to a brand 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.680 new card deal. So he's really doing well. Antnia, Connecticut 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.280 shout out to you. So it was like it was 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.680 a ribbon cutting. It was his first one and the 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.080 guy was super excited to know your pictures on social media. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:15.800 It was. It was a lot of fun. And um, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.640 I was working with one of the other radio stations 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.320 one on one, so I was out there with those 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.000 guys and they had a good staff. Good guys. While 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.560 you were doing that, Yeah, I was in I was 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.839 in the Hampton's.

My buddy Mike Matt came from. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.080 It was just so cool hanging out for a couple 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.640 of days in the house that basically the people at 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.240 patio dot com paid for the sponsor sponsor sponsor, but 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.120 they actually this place was gorgeous. We went out, we 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.400 had a great time. South Hampton Social Club. I think 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.599 you'd like that place.

It 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.440 looks like a cast, drawbridge and all inside and out, 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.880 and a mote craziness with alligators in there. Alligators. I 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.200 don't know if you have validates. He doesn't. I have 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.480 dragons watching what I'm saying, right, and and and Game 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.480 of Thrones he has sometimes he throws these awesome afternoon 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.720 parties with a bunch of people that all come over 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.480 and and holerg's everywhere. And I gotta say, I gotta say, Ivan, 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.600 I I really do appreciate your generosity. You've given so 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.679 much to the community. I'm including awesome party days and 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.400 party nights in the Hampton's getting hanging out of the 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:58.040 cast party right. Well, it's only right to give back, exactly, 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.200 it really is. Um, So, so explain a little bit 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.880 about your music. First of all, you have a music career, 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.600 You have a music backing right. Um. For those who 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.719 don't know, but into the game rather late at the 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.760 age at the age of so so. Uh, I had 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.880 a lot of catching up to do. Yeah, that's why 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.080 I went and extreme with the costume. I went extreme 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:23.480 with the cause. Yeah. And uh I decided instead of 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.600 just singing to entertain or just singing for a living, 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.480 I would sing to save lives. And that's important. Um. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.800 What what charities and what type of work? What is 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.000 organizations have touched you over the years? I created since uh, 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.960 since I look like a superhero wearing a cape with 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.800 a big rhindstone piece on the rack, and people started 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.160 calling me Pieceman. Uh. The foundation is called the Piece 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.960 Man Foundation, and its main mission is to help anyone 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.840 and everyone that's suffering from PTSD right or any form 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.600 of traumatic violence that affects the psyche. Right. I understand 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.560 that you have a couple of quite a few organizations 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.880 that you weren't with, right. Yeah. I have of contributed 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:08.320 a certain I in the foundation have contributed two wounded warriors, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.320 as have Yeah. We have done that here as well. 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.760 And uh I've also contributed uh in the foundation and 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.280 contributed to the Trevor Project. It's a hotline for LGBT 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:23.320 UH bullied kids that are contemplating suicide and uh and 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:28.400 dozens of other organizations. So so you you are a philanthropist, 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.480 you are somebody who gives back. Um, so you have 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.080 this love for music and a lot of a lot 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.360 of throwback music right from the sixties and seventies. Why 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.480 that kind of music. Well, in the sixties, that's when 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.640 civil rights, women's rights, gay rights were all championed and started, 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.640 and we're starting to bloom. So uh, these these issues 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.440 are just as relevant today. Absolutely, if not. I mean 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.440 it all has gone it's gone cyclical. I mean it's 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.160 come back. It never I mean it never did die. 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:03.160 Um so but now more never is Uh, it's important, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.240 it's important. He can we touch based on what sur 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.640 Iving did before he started doing all this, like what 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.960 what what is your background? So for for some of 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.280 the off air heads that don't know, they're just tuning 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.160 in right now. So, sir Ivan, what did you do 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:19.040 before you were sir Ivan? Well, I was Ivan Willseck, 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.520 the son of Siggy Willseck, right, who is a legendary 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:28.640 businessman who who survived the Holocaust, came to America with nothing, 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.000 created a fortune, and became a big philanthropist on his own. 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.080 So I had a good footsteps to follow in. But 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.200 you do it while having fun too while and and 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.720 and that's that's important because you know a lot of 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.400 people they they see organizations and they get involved and 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.240 everything is you know, it's it's kind of like, oh, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.320 it's a down or it's sad and you know whatever. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.080 But you make giving back fun and you put in 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.200 my I mean, that's how I view you. At least 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.400 that's my That's that's exactly correct. Even my charity party 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.960 are different than all other charity parties. I either solicit 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.359 funds for the Peaceman Foundation before the party or after 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.440 the party, but not during. So instead of a long 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.439 list of instead of speakers that talk on and on 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:18.120 and on uh and bore the crowd, and you lose 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.480 the audience, lose you lose the party. We've been to those. 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.360 And when you shove too many speakers and too many 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.600 honorees and too many nominees and too many awards given out, 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.480 they're tuned out, and too many videos about about the 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.679 charity force and what's going on. Yeah, they're tuned out. 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.680 You've lost a message. So it's it's I think it's 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.080 better to hit him with one liners and you have 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.640 it's higher impact, and you could say more and fewer 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.680 you say just as much power and fewer words. That's 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.600 going on and on and on. That's true. And more 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:50.679 people start you notice that the giving goes way up, 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.600 the donations. Yeah, so I do it. I do it 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:57.360 at a very dramatic fashion, melodramatic fashion than exaggerated fashion. 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.680 You know, it's campy, it's fun. Uh uh, but it's 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.560 all for a good cause. Do you have any events 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.560 that are coming up that you might be at where 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.800 people can meet you or see you at people want 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.080 to know about you. Well, next Saturday, I'll be a 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.879 polo is the opening of Polo out in the Hamptons, Okay, 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.280 which is always fun. Polo is a game playing on horses. Yeah, 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.840 it is it. I didn't know that. Now do you 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.720 play polo? I know? Is the cologne and Ralph Lauren 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.400 with the shirt? That's it. That's all you have to know. 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.159 Do you play with a helmet and a stick and 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.840 he whips to stick around, hits this little ball and 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.920 tries to get it, tries to get in the goal. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.480 Now do you play polo? No? I do not know. 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.760 Where is the big polo event in the Hampton's the way. 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:41.480 Where about where abouts is this? I think it's in Bridge, Hamptons. Okay, 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.840 it's an annual thing. Huh. It's less than ten minutes 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.440 from the castle. So you'll be out there and and 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:48.840 I guess you'll be out there promoting what you do, 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.080 sign some autographs, stuff like that, shake some hands, kiss 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.040 some babies. That you're an off fair Head and you're 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.080 hearing this and you're a Campton and you happen to 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:58.560 be there. I don't know if any of fair Heads 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.720 played polo or even know about Paul Well. I don't 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.240 even know about Polo. I'm just kind of I thought polo. 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.159 I think of Marco Polo. I think I think of 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.720 people swimming in the water with their eyes closed, going mark. 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.960 That's how I play polo. So so at this Polo event, 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.920 it's a you know, it's an actual charitable event, right, 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.240 I believe. So this is the first year they ever 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.600 sold tickets for it. Usually some pr firms in charge 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.920 of the guest list, who's who, an interesting group of people, 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.359 but this year they actually charged tickets. Got it okay, cool, 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.520 So you'll be it's part of it's gonna go to charity. 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.719 Now you're also with your music that you've been released, 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.040 because because obviously you're you know, you're a musician. You 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.280 say you got into the game a little late. But um, 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:42.800 and you have a couple of songs we already heard 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.520 imagine uh, and we're about to play your new one 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:51.320 this uh coming up that that features Debbie Gibson.
