Joseph Peter Saladino, known professionally as Joey Salads, is an American YouTube personality and prankster from New York City.

[5][6] His former boss, the manager of a local pizzeria, has stated that Saladino "tweaked operations" to force the restaurant to run more efficiently.

Directed by Larry A McLean and written by Marisa Dzintars and Woodrow Wilson Hancock III,[8] the film takes on a gonzo-journalistic style that immerses the audience into the ride.

Motivated to reunite the sisters and capture the reunion on camera, Salads and his apprehensive crew are forced into the dangerous and corrupt world of escorting, all while filming every step of their desperate effort to rescue the woman from human sex trafficking in Las Vegas.

After receiving backlash from critics including h3h3Productions for misportraying black Americans,[15] Saladino admitted the video was staged with actors.

[17] In 2019, Saladino began campaigning for the Republican primary in New York's 11th congressional district, which encompasses Staten Island and a small section of Brooklyn.

[22] Saladino was incorrectly identified as attending the "Unite the Right" protest at Charlottesville after a photo of him wearing a swastika armband began circulating on Twitter.
