Mat Levy, aka Cheezy, joins Lacey on Talk of Love for a super-fan’s dream episode about I Love New York 2, I Love Money 4, and what happens when someone who truly understands the "Of Love" universe finally gets to step inside it.

Cheezy reveals that he found the casting call on Craigslist after getting fired from a job, skipped out on work at Madame Tussauds to audition, and instantly leaned into the fact that he knew this world inside and out. He talks about studying old episodes while sequestered, getting strategic advice from Mr. Boston before entering the house, clocking personalities fast, and choosing his alliances carefully. He also reflects on bonding with 20 Pack and Frank The Entertainer, navigating New York’s mom, and treating the whole show like a game he had researched for years. It’s nerdy, hilarious, and catnip for fans who love the strategy side of these shows.
