Staten Island personalities and twin brothers Jojo and Nicky Scarlotta celebrated their 25th birthdays Saturday, but that hasn't stopped their social media takeover.
Jojo's videos, each with his distinctly New York Italian-American takes, have earned him nearly a half-million followers on both TikTok and Instagram.
His most recent videos have gone viral sharing concerns surrounding inflation for everything from haircuts to regular bill payments with plenty of humor.

Jojo Scarlotta shared some of his views on inflation in an interview with Fox News Digital, saying, "What I did notice under the Biden administration was that gas, the price of housing, almost everything that you could name under the sun's gone up — the car insurance, you know what I mean?"
"And it's very, very hard because I don't know what they expect, you know, the working class, the middle class to do. You know [the] people who have just one income. How do they expect people to survive?"

Family is very important to Jojo, who inspire many of the videos on his page. His brother, Nicky, and his father, Joe Sr., make regular appearances in his videos.
"My father, my mother, they've been working my entire life, too. My father can work two or three jobs my entire life. He instilled that in us at a very early age. So we all know what it is to work very hard for a dollar.
"And to be honest, just a lot of conversations at the dinner table of my mom and my father talking about prices, my father and his brother, my Uncle Tony, talking about prices, how pastrami went from $12.99 to $13.99 a pound, how sliced honey turkey went from $8.99 to $10.99."

Scarlotta has one criterion for whichever candidate he supports for president this year: "As long as whoever's in office makes it a little bit more fricking affordable."
