@@brennam954 you are making a ton of assumptions about the kids home life. I bet you anything that kid was loved beyond belief and insanely spoiled. Quiet babies are happy babies because they don't want or need for anything and they are just vibing.. and a culture of loud families who yell at each other may be shocking to you but it does not solely indicate abuse or mistreatment to the kids.
@@brennam954 how many minutes did you observe this baby? Combined, was it even one full minute? You came to all these conclusions based on seeing a baby being quiet for a few seconds at a time. Some babies are just easy, some producers don't wany a fussy baby in their show. There are many possibilities besides "this calmness indicates abuse." So silly.
Charlie also had a meltdown over how much cash each individual had given them. He calculated that each guest would have to give them at least $1,200 in cash to cover the wedding costs. Every time he open an envelope and there was less than that in the envelope he'd lose his shit.
I remember I didn't get a thank you card for a wedding because the bride thought my gift was cheap. I mean, yes, I was a broke college student and didn't know any better lol but I did the best I could. I still find it astounding lol
@@paulineddra lol they weren't Italian, they were WASPS, but I don't want to imagine what would've happened had they been Italian 🤭 but now I know better😊
Sorry to say that Sabrina and Charlie divorced. Charlie passed away at 44 due to acute intoxication according to news reports. May he rest in peace and his family find peace in his memory!
@@jazminbowen03 Yes! I feel like MTV could make so much money just replying old shows from the 90s/00s and giving updates. Us millennials are loving the nostalgia
This needs to be a regular occurrence. You should post a review every week. I'm in Cusco, Peru, stuck in a hotel because of altitude sickness, and I'm laughing so hard while watching this. You’re the best! 😂
Ngl This* is exactly how Mexicans are too. My husband’s family are in Mexico (we had 2 weddings;I know I get it) so the 1st wedding was in Mexico. It so big and loud, ofc w karaoke, and parties in Mexico usually go till like 4am. 😂 I love my husbands family, we had a blast. The other was in Japan my moms family, and my Obāsan and Jiji did most the planning cause I was exhausted. Veeery different vibes.
Charlie Balducci's WIKI bio is wild. He was on All My Children, 2 films, 20/20 and founded a youth art non-profit that "has taken up social problems such as bullying and drug abuse."
My first husband was Italian. In 1993 we had a big wedding, we both had large families. Mine was southern Baptist his was Italian Catholic. His dad had told me to expect to be given envelopes from their families and gave me a little silk bag to put them in and told me not to open them until we were alone after the reception. I was barely 20 years old and he was 22. We got to our honeymoon suite that evening and sat on the bed opening the envelopes. I was expecting several hundred dollars, maybe a grand, there were thousands, over 15 grand which was like a million to us at the time. We literally spread it all over the bed and played in it lol. My dad came the following morning to take us to the airport for our honeymoon and took the money to keep it for until we got back and could deposit it. I loved his family and had spent many holidays with them, was taught to cook by his mom aunts and grandmother, but I knew nothing of the envelopes at the weddings until the day of the wedding. A beautiful tradition all cultures should adopt. It was a tremendous help for a young couple. The husband didn't last, we were just too young and he couldn't keep it in his pants. Very much loved the Italian culture though. My next husband was a Mexican by way of Chicago. Also a beautiful culture. Then I married an Anglo POS. I love love ❤️. Marriage not so much. Also, I need Sundays videos to be longer, please. I'm not even done with my meal and it's over.
This is the one video we all knew we needed the moment he started this series. I WILL GUT YOU LIKE THE FISH THAT YOU ARE! I still say that to myself at least a few times a week.
Love this series! What a great idea to rewatch old MTV My Real Life episodes!!! I remember every single one of these episodes so far but your hilarious commentary makes it 1000 times better! Much love from ChiTown!!
If you're wondering if they are still together... Charlie Balducci died in July 2021 of acute intoxication from prescription Xanax, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone. He did a lot in the community to help at-risk kids. He and Sabrina were separated at the time of his death. RIP Charlie B.
I so love that you're doing all these 90s MTV shows. they were so stupid and so great. and there's nobody id rather hear doing the commentary than you. keep it up playa. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Matteo, I know Phoenix AZ isn't a shining achievement in Comedy, but will you consider adding it to your tour? I can't get to these other locations! Love ya !
Great video, your commentary is so funny and genuine. So sad regarding the update on the couple. Hope to see you live soon. Your show sold out too fast last time you were in my city, hopefully I will be able to get tickets next time!
I totally forgot about this show! And I totally forgot about this episode! I remember being appalled! Thanks for resurrecting this! So sad to hear that he had a drug problem.
Ive been married 9 years and we did it at the court house. I have NEVER regretted. Like, an amazing dress would be fun and all that but the cost and the STRESS. I would have become this man. "I will cut you TF UP!" Plus, no wedding meant more money to put into the old house we bought. Dont go into debt for a wedding.
Aww💔 Well, thanks to Charilie for putting himself out there on the show, and giving us a little escape from our regular lives. I was in college, and MTV was always a great escape❤
As usual, two seconds in and your laugh already has me laughing 😁 I never watched any of these shows, so it’s great that my first experience is with your commentary
This and the shore episode were the foundation for the Jersey Shore show years later. I know this is New York but cant tell me there werent serious inspirations in this episode, maybe more than the Shore episode, charlies hair vs Pauly Ds, the tanning, the fighting, the dancing. They should do a follow up on the son. He gotta be around the same age as his dad was when they filmed it.
That was my fave episode of True Life! That one and the meth one...i couldn't believe people would do it on camera! And the mom with the moldy baby bottles, haunts me to this day
That baby is so freaking cuteee! He's the kind of kid that triggers your underlying baby fever😂😅 I don't particularly like kids, but that one is *CUTE* ! I wonder where is he now and if he's still as adorable as he was
I just searched to see where they are now. Charlie passed in 2020 from an mix of cocaine and alcohol OD 😢. They were separated with two sons 19 & 17. RIP CHAHHHLEE

Husband and I are both from the East Coast. I'm Irish but he's Italian. The thing I've observed with East Coast Italians is yes they will be very loud and cuss a lot but what's a little subtler is the quiet ones. They don't shout but they do cuss a lot. If they do get loud it's kinda intense bc everyone else gets real quiet real fast. Husband is one of the quiet ones. He's never lost his temper with me or our kid but I've seen him lose it. His mom says he's always been like that so I think that's what's going on with their kid
I have the best memories on the phone with my friends while we watched this 😂 also yes it was a threat but it was a threat in the early 2000’s that just the way it was😂😂😂
“I’d rather be drafted” is great.
“The baby is so well behaved!” He’s traumatized! He wakes up to the Joker and Harley Quinn for parents!
Oh my god ! So funny !

$50k on a wedding in the early 2000s is wild
I got married in 2007 and we spent $10k and it felt like an insane amount of money
The more weddings I see on reality TV, the more appealing the idea of eloping sounds.
He wouldn't pay for a question mark on his proposal.
With inflation it's just short of 90k today
$50k on a wedding now is wild.
Charlie also had a meltdown over how much cash each individual had given them.
He calculated that each guest would have to give them at least $1,200 in cash to cover the wedding costs. Every time he open an envelope and there was less than that in the envelope he'd lose his shit.
The entitlement to expect each guest to pay 1200 for the honor of going to your wedding.
*$120..$48000 divided by 380 guests
I remember I didn't get a thank you card for a wedding because the bride thought my gift was cheap. I mean, yes, I was a broke college student and didn't know any better lol but I did the best I could. I still find it astounding lol

DEAD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just like Charlie.... too early?
And in 2020 no less? I'm COVDEAD
So is Charlie :c
"Oh no he's hot. He's hot but he's damaged....he's hot."
I love it when he’s like, “shes alright” as if she’s not hot* too 😂 Matteo knows what likes
It was cringe 😅
He’s so thirsty lol. I don’t find guys like this hot at all. They’re a dime a dozen at the jersey shore. But hey to each their own 😂
He’s a bully.
Matteo’s reaction to the groom is so problematic, it’s a toxic attraction to toxic masculinity and the root of all the issues with gay men ….
Sorry to say that Sabrina and Charlie divorced. Charlie passed away at 44 due to acute intoxication according to news reports. May he rest in peace and his family find peace in his memory!
Omg that's horrible. RIP CHARLIE
his poor son. too young to lose his dad.
That’s sad.
@@kerrbear1980 young? 20, 21 years old?

Congregating for our MTV Sunday Mass with Matteo feels good in a place like this. Thank you ❤
P.S. Charlie was the OG Vlogger!
can this be the new title. MTV mass with Matteo
Lmao! Awesome comment!! 😂
Seriously I lived through this era but can only stand watching it through Matteo 😂
Watching wild MTV reality tv with Matteo is my perfect Sunday morning ☕️🧐
fr bro hahaha
you cannot convince me that baby wasn't tranquilized
Too hilarious that the sign says “hey”.
I know, that really got me
This episode is a core memory
Absolutely lol I wish they would do updates on all the old tru life episodes!!
@@jazminbowen03 Yes! I feel like MTV could make so much money just replying old shows from the 90s/00s and giving updates. Us millennials are loving the nostalgia
This, calf implant guy, and the one that had his dad shave his ass before a bodybuilding competition. The True Life Trifecta.
@@jazminbowen03 Apparently they did in a show called 20/20.
“I’d rather be drafted.”
Best Matteo delivery ever.
The thumbnail!! That was enough for me to yell I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE!! 🤣
Damn. MTV really lives rent free in my brain.
This needs to be a regular occurrence. You should post a review every week.
I'm in Cusco, Peru, stuck in a hotel because of altitude sickness, and I'm laughing so hard while watching this.
You’re the best! 😂
Altitude sickness is no joke. It was brutal for me when I was in Ecuador. I hope you recover soon!
True Life was the equivalent of an alcoholic bender of a show 😂😂😂 so many episodes meld together in my head lmao
Remember the gay for pay episode? That one was a gem too. I need an update on everyone from that episode.
@@kshay89 LMAO that episode was an icon of chaos 🤣🤣
I feel bad about how much I laughed at “ooohhhhhh, Charlieeeeee. Oohhhhh, Poor Charlieeee.” That delivery got me good. RIP
Reminded me of Wendy Williams’ response to Miss Melody‘s passing.
As an Italian from Boston, I feel personally attacked... and also seen. Hahaha
😂😂😂 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

😂🤣😂🤣😂 decades later, this entire episode still lives rent-free in my mind.
I wonder if Matteo thinks Charlie's hot 🤔
This is the single best episode of a television show ever to exist in the history of television.
Literally couldn't stop staring at Mateo's biceps. Damn!
Omg, he is dead now! He died in 2020 from a mix of prescription meds. They were separated at the time. 😢
Damn, that is sad.
That is so sad for their kid or kids...
Holy shit
Sad but not surprising
Well damn😔
More of these "reality" show reactions, please! Too funny.
I grew up on Staten Island during the 70s and this couple is so so Italian. I love old school Italians. More of this pleasssseeeee!
Charlie died. Aaaawww poor Charlie... SO I'M ON TOUR!!! :D :D :D
She is such an icon, he got too much love 😂😂😂
This is the one video we all knew we needed the moment he started this series.
I WILL GUT YOU LIKE THE FISH THAT YOU ARE!
I still say that to myself at least a few times a week.
That was an iconic episode of the show, I remember it well.
Love these “early 2000s MTV reality TV show” series you’ve started!! KEEP THESE GOINGG PLEEEAASE!!!
I had forgotten about most of these shows, but the True Life ones were the best ones. Keep these revisits coming!
I love it when you do the follow ups.
I used to always watched this episode!!!! Him walking down the street was the best
Pleeeeease please drag Nick with you to Orlando while you're there and film y'all going to Disney World.
This episode is a core memory of my adolescence!
I literally think about this episode randomly since I saw it and I’m 37.
This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE EPISODE! This episode literally lives in my head completely rent free!

i love when matteo lane watches 2000s mtv episodes
I remember this gay true life poly amorous episode that would be perfect for you guys to do. Thank you for all the hilarious content!
This is the 2nd time I recommend the MTV True Life Fat Camp episodes.
That dry ass bland chicken lives rent free in my head
It's been 50 years since i lived in this NY Italian life but it is so normal to me. Love them and love this.
Oops, just saw the end. RIP Charlie
My mom saw that guy meltdown and she said "oooooh that guy has mafia ties"🥶
Nah, more like that guy is having a roid rage.

This is a core memory. I was in the 7th grade and i thought he was so fwiiine! ❤❤ still do 🎉
I saw you in San Francisco and I was crying laughing the whole time. Love you Matteo!!
“And they were all named Marie”
I totally forgot about this show! And I totally forgot about this episode! I remember being appalled! Thanks for resurrecting this! So sad to hear that he had a drug problem.
This was normal to us back in the day. Sad he passed away. Wish them the best. Love these videos!!!❤
8:38 Because even at 12 you loved the camp and the drama 😂
Ive been married 9 years and we did it at the court house. I have NEVER regretted. Like, an amazing dress would be fun and all that but the cost and the STRESS. I would have become this man.

8:34 "why was I watching this at 12"
My childhood in a nutshell.
RIP Charlie.
Best start to my Sunday ❤ so hilarious 🤣 such a stressful wedding
I love you are doing this so much!!!! This is taking me back. 😂💕
Aww💔 Well, thanks to Charilie for putting himself out there on the show, and giving us a little escape from our regular lives. I was in college, and MTV was always a great escape❤
Liking this video before the first ad is over. I hope Matteo keeps these videos coming 💕
Matteo you should interview anyone that you can from the videos. Like the kid about his parents and such.
I love Matteo with a buzz cut.
As usual, two seconds in and your laugh already has me laughing 😁 I never watched any of these shows, so it’s great that my first experience is with your commentary
They're inviting 380 people and that's just the groom's side. Italians.
My dad was from Staten Island and this accent is bringing me BACK.
Dude is on the juice with them guns 😂
....and that roid rage.
I clicked the notification for this video INSTANTLY
The way I instantly remembered watching this when it was first on as soon as I saw the thumbnail 😭
i dont know if you seen it but there was a true life about going to the jersey shore before the actual Jersey Shore
Was that the "I have a Summer Share" episode? Another classic!
This and the shore episode were the foundation for the Jersey Shore show years later. I know this is New York but cant tell me there werent serious inspirations in this episode, maybe more than the Shore episode, charlies hair vs Pauly Ds, the tanning, the fighting, the dancing.

This is the best and most iconic episode of TRUE LIFE in my opinion
The huge TIRE in red neon…😂 they couldn’t find a parking lot with a Walgreens? 😂
I love these MTV vids! Just placed my order for your cookbook! The cover is a work of art !!
This, by far, is my favorite True Life episode. I liked all three couples. That meltdown is TV gold/legendary. RIP Charlie.
That baby is so freaking cuteee! He's the kind of kid that triggers your underlying baby fever😂😅 I don't particularly like kids, but that one is *CUTE* ! I wonder where is he now and if he's still as adorable as he was
Him walking away from the camera to have a ✨moment✨ forgetting he's mic'ed up 💀
You should do Dawson’s creek Jack’s ridiculous story line and dialogue that’s how gays were represented in tv in the 00’s
I just searched to see where they are now. Charlie passed in 2020 from an mix of cocaine and alcohol OD 😢. They were separated with two sons 19 & 17. RIP CHAHHHLEE
That tantrum actually made me homesick! ( I'm from Queens)
omg these are so much more fun than todays reality tv. You've stuck a goldmine in these old mtv shows, Matteo. \o/
i love your reaction videos! happy sunday!
OH YAY! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!! ❤❤❤❤
This was worth watching all the way through if just for the dancing 😂

Thanks for those great laughs, Chris! The best!❤
I see some sort of version of my family members in each part of this video. It’s SCREAMING ITALIAN my ancestors were awoken.
Radio City!! Bravo Matteo! Ci vediamo a Toronto! 😘🤩
Husband and I are both from the East Coast. I'm Irish but he's Italian. The thing I've observed with East Coast Italians is yes they will be very loud and cuss a lot but what's a little subtler is the quiet ones. They don't shout but they do cuss a lot. If they do get loud it's kinda intense bc everyone else gets real quiet real fast.
Husband is one of the quiet ones. He's never lost his temper with me or our kid but I've seen him lose it. His mom says he's always been like that so I think that's what's going on with their kid
Dont stop making these 😭
You again, we must have the same videos recommended.
This is waking up a lot of dormant memories. Thank god i left long island as soos as i could.
Matteo turning into Charlie the unicorn towards the end was many things at once for me 😂
I fully remember watching this episode when it came out. LMAO.
Matteo….your biceps. Wowza❤
I have the best memories on the phone with my friends while we watched this 😂 also yes it was a threat but it was a threat in the early 2000’s that just the way it was😂😂😂
Plleeaaasseee keep doing these videos. They're great!
