I love CIV! Still got my 1996 amsterdam hoodie. Set your goals is still great from A to Z

[@lucatricky1457]

Know Civ since 89 when GB toured Italy. I was hosted in GB HQ in summer 1990.. Civ, Walter and Alex (r.i.p.) were living in Queens, great memories. Civ is a really nice and smart dude and a great singer, sincere and inspiring.

Civ always gives great interviews

[@user-sw4qd2up2s]

When you are interviewing someone telling really interesting stories please let them finish, don't keep cutting them off and talking over them. There were like 3 stories we never got to hear the end of. Civ is such a cool guy and tells great stories.

[@kevintoledo7151]

Absolutely loved this episode! Wait who am I kidding? I love all the OG Talks! Had the pleasure of meeting Civ and his family this past summer and what a wonderful soul. Check out this episode and all the others, you'll be glad you did!

[@ogtalk4932]

Thanks so much for your feedback Kevin. We have enjoyed meeting Civ as well. It is always a bit of a nerve wracking moment when you meet a person you look up to and admire. So many questions... Will I get disappointed after meeting him? What if he is hard to talk to ?Thanks GD everything went great . He is such a genuine soul! We are so proud he comes to the restaurant with his wife and daughter. In this particular interview we learned how big of a role straight edge and veganism play in Civ's life. So grateful we were part of this conversation. Vlad & Eddie

Well done! I’m showing up two years after this first aired (looking to watch some ‘Biscuits videos tonight), and was very happy to see this. Love the format.

[@user-sw4qd2up2s]

A Bronx Tale is such a good movie that deserves more love. It's a modern classic.

[@pawelzawislak1671]

Well nyc is NOW getting similar to the way it was back in the 80’s...... not like I mind either as it was definitely more exciting. I’ll never forget ditching school back in 89’ and taking a train up to nyc by myself for the day. It was scary but exciting. I was only 17 granted. Also I never quite got the vegetarian thing.... I tried it in college and I still gained some weight didn’t feel much better from when I ate meat and didn’t look much better either. To sum it up it nothing for me. I think people that eat meat on a moderate basis are easily as healthy and energetic as any vegan. To hear civ say he was ready to starve almost makes me laugh......I knew a lot of vegans in college and what I found it was being vegan was a way for those kids to have control in their life. Almost like an obsessive runner that will let NO bad weather prevent them from going for a run. But that is not the case for all vegans as some stay vegan purely for health reasons others for ethics and yet others for spiritual
