Angers me. It ain't angers me Colin. Colin's hair has
always been just like perfection. Colin. You just look at
him and it's not fair. But what Marcella like, he
does that thing where he shows off. He puts his
hood up, his hoodie up, and he has the hairs
poking out like He's like, I got so much I
can't even tunk all the hair into this hood.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
But then it's also like sometimes you see, I remember
we did this show. I was on this show years
ago called the Real Wedding Crashers. Okay, Wedding Crashers comes out.
Then a TV show called The Real Wedner Crashes comes
out and it's Ashton Kutcher produced it. This is just
after punked. And what we would do is we would
team up with people that had getting married and we
(02:20):
would basically pull pranks on their guests the whole weekend,
and then the big reveal was at the wedding. They'd
learned that we were not their best friends or the
past or the dry cleaner, like we were actually in
on this the whole time. So we're doing the only
reason I bring it up is I'll never forget this.
Katherine Wrightman who's got a great show called Working Moms
on Netflix, and then Desi Lyttick, who's a correspondent on
(02:42):
The Daily Show. There were these There were the two
girls on the show along with me and two other
guys and and I'll never forget this. They had this
Justin Timberlake impersonator. This guy looked just like him really,
and he was there as like a goof for their wedding,
like we got Justin team would like to perform. So
he shows up and Catherine and Desi are head over
(03:05):
heels this guy. They're like he is so hot, and
I'm like, this is the fake one and you're going
nuts over him, and they were smitten with him, like yeah,
you should have lunch with us, Like he just got there.
I'll never forget this. He had a backward hat on
and he's like, eh, so so they're going to lunch
and he took his hat off and like receding like patchie,
(03:29):
you know, not like even cool like like it was.
It was just like, I'll just throw a hat on
today it looks so bad and Catherine just Cather just
looking at she goes eh. So when Marcelo does that
he could there's always a reveal. It's like, okay, because
I got a big fourhead, I would love.

he took it off. The whole thing came off.

my hair, which makes no sense, I know, but I

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Did this thing. So my daughter like, I'm like, I
have fun with my kids. I'm like a fun dad,
would you know we always be silly and whatnot. So
my kids we got this bouncy house like obstacle course
thing off that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I don't see you in front of a fireplace with
reading glasses like silence, quiet down, reading papas reading the
time pipe.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So we bought this like obstacle course thing where you
run through it's inflatable, you know. It's a couple of
hundred bucks on Amazon. The kids like it. It was
her Remo's birthday party, so we got it and it
has a slide at the end and it's awesome. And
Bessie put it at the end of the pool where
we have a little bit you know grass. So the
kids are run through a lot and I see the
slide at the end and I'm like, I wonder if
(08:04):
I could just turn it, and then the kids run
through the obstacle course. I throw a hose on it
and they slide right to the deep end of the pool.
I'm like, oh, that'd be really fun. So I'm looking
at it and I go, oh, this is really cool
and then as I'm about to say it, I turn
it and here comes my daughter, eight year old dark
cons run now she goes Dak. We put the slide
to go in the pool. I was like, you are me,
you are exactly. Let's do it. So I turned the
whole do the whole slide whatever. So then the couple
(08:25):
of the moms like, oh, is it safe? I was like,
I'll go first. Right. This is a blow up obstacle
course made for eight to ten year olds.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
The moms are just checking to make sure. Are we
completely on cue with the Obamacare? We have a okay,
everybody's covered.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Okay, let's do it. So I took a float and
I put it on the bottom. I had to make
this little padding in case it didn't work out. I
go to go, I go.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You do the obstacle course.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I do the little obstacle course. I would love to
see you an activity. It's I'm fantastic run. I'm much faster.
Let me think. I'll also tell you way faster than
you think.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So I got wheels.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I would love we should race.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
We got wheel Oh you on a race. I'd love
to wish you race a charity. You can't touch me
on ultimate frisbee field.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
We'll race for people with spinal cord injury.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
We'll race them and I might wing. I have a shot.
I hated anyway, I'm going down. So we put the
(09:31):
hose on the thing and I go to jump and
I full blown just get stuck the thing and go
So my dough just grabs the hose and she's hosing
me down like a beached whale to move me down
the thing. And I'm doing the work. I'm doing the
bumping to get down. The whole thing is shaken. Finally
I go down and I lay them is like my turn,
and she just kills it. Runs through slides right through.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You need like liquid soap. I do because because what
I learned is we you know, I got kids as well.
I'm not as fun as you are, but we have
like that slipping slide. You can't just put water on you.
You got to put it on on that. A little
bit of soap and the kid's zip and it's like
Chevy chasing Christmas vacation. Yeah later, dudes, do you see
like some.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Of the older like you know, the twenty somethings or
thirty somethings they go to like a a ski resort
and they do it on the hill. Do you ever
see those where they basically just like garbage tarids like
super and yeah, that's and they just go for like
a mile down that. That's unbelievable. I would love do that.
I would pick up some heat. That's when i'd have wheels.
This thing a gato in motion, stays in motion. This
(10:33):
body's gonna keep this thing's gonna keep going.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You'd been like that scene in Norbit, Yeah, when she
goes on the thing that didn't I did.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
That once, but I think I ever told you the story.
But I went skiing. I shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I would love to see you.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't do you just anyone the whole time.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
No, I just I just talk and go. I just
crashed like you would talk and go. I just talk
and I don't know how to do anything on I
don't do it anymore because I just can't. I couldn't
then either. But I'm like this is I'm probably about
thirty years old, and I'm going skiing down a hill
and there's a turn. You got to make a turn
to go. But it was like one of these bunny hills.
It's a little resort, and on the other side there
(11:11):
was the you know, the snow tubes that you sit
on and covi down. I know the little kids go
with all their parents and whatnot. So I'm skiing with
my two cousins, younger cousins, you know, they're probably in
their late teens. So here we go. Here comes cousin Joey.
I'm going. We're having a good time. So I go,
and I'm going too fast, and and here's the courses
right in front of me. And you have to make
(11:31):
a hard right to go down, continue down the ski
part and the separate the only separation is one of
those mesh orange orange mesh like construction fences that you
buy like at home depot. So here comes cousin Joey.
I can't hit the right I go. I see it happening.
I go, I go through the woods, I get wrapped
up in the thing.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I hit the I lose the skis, I start, I
start mummying it right down, wrapped up, and I'm down
down the hill, sliding next to the people snow tubing
rats in orange construction.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I'm like, I gave you the first person that did this.
I can't turn but then you end up at the bottom.
I was at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You're at the bottom and everybody there's no way to avoid.
Everybody's looking at you.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Then one guy was his daughter or whatever, and he's like,
I saw you coming. You can't see anything, you know,
just see a gato in motion coming through.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Never seeing that. But or no, But I was in
high school but I always played hockey, so it's the
same like similar, Yeah, kids, two kids, No, my kids
are I always wanted them to get in hockey, and
but now we're in Tennessee. There's no like winter sports
as much as you would think. But uh, but there's
pockets where you can go, but we just haven't. And
and the older I get to, it's just like I
(12:43):
you know, it's like I don't want to get on
a motorcycle because of spinal cord injury, but I also
don't want to ski because I don't want to blow
my knee, right.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It's like all those things you think about when you're
in your late for early thirties, When mid thirties, do
we have the filter on?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
We have?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Can we filter? In my mid thirties, I love.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
To add like a mouse snapchat filter right now.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Ears, yeah, I'm in my mid thirty.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Everybody thinks that, but everybody older than you, really, I
hat that a lot everything you're younger than me.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It's the Korean skin, I think.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, I think it's the fat Italian that's slowly falling
a pot and high definition.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
See.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think when it when when people go like this
or like that, you know, when it's two people, it's
like you know, but yeah, when it when they go
like that, Oh maybe maybe because you got the you
get the salt and pepper.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Salt and pepper here, yeah, yeah, we in effect I
wanted to push your babe day and night. I work
up a sweat. I think.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think like you die your hair though, right, I
got a little bit on the sides, but you die
where This is where I go, Yeah, this is where
you do.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
What do you do? Little?
Speaker 2 (14:00):

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Why don't you Why don't you just let the sprinkles come? Baby,

Richard were just like white and then the rest of
it is like cool, It's like, well, why is he
so that's what it looks like?

Yeah, I had that for a minute, like when I
was like thirty four. Though, like that, I started going
like because my my like aunts and uncles, my mom
all were like white lions, like you know, so I
imagine that's gonna eventually happen to me.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But uh yeah, at some point I'll do it. I
was thinking of just I saw this one comic Grojo Perez,
great guy, super funny too, but he dyed his hair
gray and it looked really cool.
Speaker 3 (14:57):

Speaker 2 (14:58):
He diedd gray. But it was like a like a
comic book hero kind of great, like not like a
silver Fox Martin kind of great. But he like look,
I was like, oh that if if I could pull that,
I don't think I can pull that off.
Speaker 3 (15:10):

Yeah, that front road gets every penny. No, the problem
is I'm not like you know, I'm like I get like,
you know, I get all the gas.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
There like an awful shamous show, Like you don't want
to be in this splash show guys, you.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Know like this the thing that distance. Yeah, so I
get like this little bubble thing. But he checked it out,
gave me some meds, worked it out, so I'm feeling better.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
So it's just temporary.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's just temporary. Well, you just have to manage it.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
How do you manage a fard mode?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You just have to try to fart, But how do
you try to know? You just on the road. I
just have to try to, like eat a lot of fiber,
make sure I keep everything.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Oh you mean not eat a fucking waffle sunday.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I mean that's that probably could be part of the clothes.
I mean probably my my my diet probably is a
contributing factor. I'm not saying Gill is.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Charged, but yes, okay, let's get back.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
To our moms. So our mom's. My mom was a blunt,
forced instrument. She's I think, a stereotypical tiger mom, you know,
just completely honest with every aspect of life, no matter,
you know. I remember I got married. She poked my stomach,
like poked my stomach and said, uh what, and she's like,
(20:30):
you're getting fat And I was like, it's my wedding day,
Like I'm getting married today. Like she would constantly things
like that just keep you in check. And as much
as it may come off as harsh, oh, sometimes the
best things you can be told are raw honesty. You've
always been very honest with me, you know, with things
that I shouldn't wear, don't do that too much, too
(20:53):
much going on with my face fats, Yes, you got
me in check with that. So I feel like as
much as my mom is still that matern and no
force and giving me raw honesty and advice or you know,
anything along the along the way, like everybody she's ever
pointed out and said I don't like him, she always
aw amazing right always, and especially with the girlfriends, she
(21:15):
was always one hundred percent correct. The first one I had,
she's like she's no good, she's no good, and she physically,
like physically like beat me up one day, like like
we were hammered, you know. But it was like I
was kind of laughing at the same time, but she
was like fucking cracking me. And then she gave my
best friend a fresh one, like a nice freshiet. He's like, Denny's,
what the hell you do? He's like bitch about, like
(21:36):
a bitch, a straight a bitch lab and we were
both I mean, looking back, I guess it's kind of awful,
but like I thought it was funny.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
In the moment.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You were like, yeah, jeez, guys, this girl is crazy.
But my mom called it and she was like something,
something's off with her. And then when when when my
wife first met Jest, she's like, don't don't, don't, don't
mess this up.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Oh your mom, your mom gave he them right away. Yeah,
that's great. Yeah, my mom got to meet Bessie before.
She was around for about a year and a half
because we were dating long distance. But Bessie looks so young.
I my mom's great. You know, my mom was the best.
She was Sicilian firecracker, shoot you straight, lots of love,
loved everybody, made sure everybody was okay. One of those
Italian moms, you know, but completely like had that Sicilian streak,
(22:18):
like if you wronged me, there's no there's no need
to feel my life. Yeah. Right, So she had like
a little bit of that in there. But my mom,
Bessie looks really young, and I had younger cousins. It
was New Year's even my mom came over to my
cousin's house. We were all had hung out and well
she hadn't met Bessie, and so my cousin Mike was
there and he looks older and Besie younger. It looked
(22:39):
like it could be dating, right, right, right, So before
my mom came in, I said, get on Mike's lap,
and I put Bessie on Mike's lap. So we walk
in and my mom walk so, you know, saying hello,
I am mom, and then she goes over to the best.
She goes, oh, who's this boutana?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Right, She's like, look, she's so pretty. She gets whatever,
and then you know, Mike says his arm around or whatever.
And then as we're just sitting there talking, my mom
has a Coffee's like, how's everybody's New Years? There's New
Year's Day. She went out, she went to the be
stro and danced all night with her girlfriends. Right, She's like, oh,
I was crazy. We had a great night. And as like,
I just took Bessie and just put her on my
lap and just gave her, you know, a kiss. And
my mom goes and she's not going to call me
(23:12):
and I'll never forget. And she goes, what what the
fuck is this? We all lost it. I said, mom,
this is actually Bessie, my girlfriend. She's in from California.
And my mom goes, you have a girlfriend. I didn't
know about this she sat it down and she like
grilled her for like you know, which was really that
(23:33):
was the first time she met her. And then when
Bessie first moved here, my mother hated watermelon. Hated watermelon,
like with the passions, like when she was grown up.
She sayd the smell of it. Whatever. So it's Labor
Day weekend. It's Bessie had just moved here from California.
She moved in with me. It's like the second time
she's seeing my mother. We're at We're at the big
webcan with my sister called a big Vin, her brother,
my brother Benny. He writes, We're all hanging out and
(23:54):
they cut the watermelon. I said to Bessie, so best,
my mom's a watermelon.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You knew.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
I knew. So I was like, okay, you bring my
mom's watch. You go, oh yeah, because he's like, hey, missus,
got on. My mother turns around, smacks and goes get
the fuck out. He turns red.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
We are on the floor.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
We are on the floor level.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
My mother is like, thank you do that son? Yeah.
So she was like that, she like turned like crazy
like that, but she was she was great. So those
are our moms, Those are our moms. I see reflections

gil Oh so sorry.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Hey, so it doesn't meant to be though you're welcome.
I think you're welcome. Is in order?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Three months?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Months?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Three months? Imagine investing two years of your life.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
And then the investment in the move to get together.
We're to do this, It's going to be great, and
then boomskate done.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Oh my god, that's the worst feeling in the world.
Two years you live in different cities. You have all
that investment of time, a travel of getting together, or
just bandwidth of like, don't make a feel bit, Oh,
I just feel horrible though. You couldn't save it. You
couldn't save it. It was doomed. But oh my god,
(26:54):
that feeling of just like, yeah, imagine one of them
had to know the first do within forty eight hours.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Did you have to live with a girlfriend. Yes, and
that didn't become your wife?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Wow, scandalous. You never did that. No, never, you never
moved in with a girl. I live with Murray. I
didn't live with That was my my room. I had,
me and me and Murray. We were best friend in
it in a seven hundred and fifty square foot apartment
sharing a.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Bandage seven fifty.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah. I he used to be in the shower and
I used to go in and poop on him. It
was great.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
This is a real thing. By the way, I would move.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
The door open, I would talk to him. Could you
shut the door? I'm like, no, I got blushed a
fall back. But Murray and I were actually very good.
We were very good roommates. I don't think many people
could have done with me and mar pulled off. Actually,
because Mer and I live worked together that we had
just started the show. We were together each other twenty
hours a day. Really don't tell me to see who
other when we were sleeping, we were working the same place,
(27:47):
and we still remained friends, which is crazy because that's
a lot to handle with somebody. And I'm a lot
and he's a lot. But like we're like we're a
little different energies too, Like I'm pretty intense, you know. Yeah, so,
but it was it worked out. That was the only
thing I've always had roommates.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Though you're both very opinionated, Yeah, you both have strong opinions.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But I will say murray Is has always been very
open to my opinion and taking my advice a lot,
like he is always I've always been a consigli airy
for him in a real way of like, you know,
things like he had identified that he wanted to change
or needed help with and things like that, Like we
were like brothers that way, still are. But he was
like very much like what do I do here? Or
(28:29):
how do I do this? Not even just like dating
with girls, because he had always he dated way longer
than I did before he had settled down with his
his lady. But I think it just worked because he
was open with that, Like he would listen to me
more than he would listen to anybody else I.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Think, you know what I mean, Well, that probably goes
to the fact that, look, he's a really really smart guy, smart,
super incredibly smart, and it goes a long way to
think that he'd be open to listening to other people's opinion,
because you have some people that are just incredibly intelligent.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
But but we were also older too, Like we're roommates
at like thirty two, Like you know what I mean,
So it's kind of like, yeah, you're setting your ways.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
That's kind of the norm now. Now it is now,
it is, But back when we were younger, when you
don't have to die beside burns.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, I never lived alone until recently. That was the
first time I've ever lived alone. I always had roommates
or I was living my mom's at basement. Yeah that's
what I was doing.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
But imagine moving with somebody.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And so, how did yours? That was yours? Terrible? That
didn't work out?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah it was no, No, No, I mean she's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Yeah, we're no.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I mean the moment, the moment was bad. The moment
was bad.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
How long are we living together?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
About a year?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Okay, about a year longer? Than this one. Sorry Mallory.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Hashtag left on red Mallory, you are proof positive that
we need to You know, we took some time off.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
You can't can't do We have to be hit fit
of people.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
We can't do this, Joe.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
And now you know, now have responsibility not to only
the America. I have responsibility to you, to iHeartRadio, to everyone,
and to everybody. Yes, bubble machine across America.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, we got to keep these people together. We got
to keep love in the air.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
All right, let's go. Let's keep talking problems second, but
also congratulations on being on your own and finding the
right one because that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Okay, this is coming us from Frankie, something about a
crowd work show. My question for you both is if
I should break the ice with my brother. If I
should break the ice with my brother Jonathan. Oh some background,
he's fifteen years older than me and my half brother.
We're sharing the same mom. Despite the age gap. We
(30:33):
used to talk frequently. My dad, his stepdad, died on
June second of pancreatic cancer. His birthday was on July second,
and on that day my mom decided to have a
celebration of his life, inviting only family and two close
friends who helped out a lot while he was sick.
Without telling anyone, Jonathan invited some of his friends and
their children go.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
To the next one.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
My mom found out, okay, there's a long one. Okay
found out when they were only twenty minutes away, despite
the drive for them being four hours. There was little
she could say about it, and at the point we
hardly celebrated my dad because of this. Jonathan and his
wife stayed inside with their friends, while my husband and
I stayed outside with my mom. It breaks my heart
because she has been crying, but eventually wiped her tears
(31:18):
away and went inside to be a good host. I
later found out after they left, Jonathan called our mom
saying I needed to apologize to his wife for being
rude to her and their friends. My mom thinks he's
in the wrong, but told him she is staying out
of it. She told me what he said because now
if he hears me in the background while I'm on
the phone with her, he hangs up. I'm at a
(31:40):
loss on how someone could do this. Any thoughts or
advice is appreciated. Wow, this is pretty detailed.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
And it is pretty that's pretty deep. So there's a
it's coming. The problem is coming out of a huge
traumatic moment that everyone is caught up in their emotions on.
So whenever those things, whenever, that's the seed that gets planted.
I feel like that tree is a strong tree to
cut down because you're coming from a moment of like,
that's a very upsetting time in your life and it
(32:05):
feels like you were stolen your way you could grieve
or handle a situation, and you can't get that back.
So the first thing I think you need to do
is work around that. You have to realize that that
is that moment of time is gone. And now let's
not base it on that. Let's base it on the
fact that you guys aren't in each other's lives and
(32:27):
you clearly want to be right because you're reaching out
to ask about it. Of course, so I'm a firm
believer if you want somebody in your life, you have
to go get it. And because one of two things
is happening and the other person doesn't know how important
they are to you that you want them in your life,
or you're letting something like this just stand in the way,
which Ultimately, as as it may sound, doesn't matter that
(32:48):
your dad, you know, or dad or stepdad died. What
matters is who's here left with you? Right, So the
bigger regret will be if you know, goph Bids, something
happens to this other person in your life and you
didn't do everything you could, that regret will be even bigger.
And yeah, insurmountable.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, the commonality is obviously the father is passing.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Now.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Look, yes, that day was set aside to acknowledge and
admire and appreciate the time you got to spend with
But you can still kind of do that again.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
You could.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
You could replicate that, right, you could. You could get
it back on track, and everybody across the board do it.
I think what happened is you felt slighted or the
mom felt slighted. And I think sometimes when these things happen,
you don't know what's going on on the other side
of the fence, right You're you're only receiving information from
your mom, and you don't know why somebody would communicate
(33:42):
fifteen minutes out, you know the situation. So it's like,
obviously she hasn't gotten in touch with him, she hasn't
given him an opportunity to say his peace of mind.
So I think obviously it's it's somebody, it's of blood.
And if it's up to you to make that first initial,
you know, I'll a branch. Why not? Why not do it?
(34:05):
It's like you don't lose anything by doing that.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I see what you're saying to though about if he's
hanging up the phone when he hears her voice in
the background, it might be a little either fresh form
or he doesn't know how to handle it. I would
not try to put your mom in the middle of it.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah, yeah, just get to it.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Just get to it, like you know, you know where
he lives, like ring the bell, there's no you know,
is he going to let you? And then you have
your answer just say hey, let's figure this out. Yeah,
and ridiculous. And if he doesn't want to figure it out,
then okay, you go on with yours on him. Yeah,
that's on him. You did what you could and you can't.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
But like, like that's that that reminds me of like
you know, when like a guy's like cheating, ye, and
it's like, hey, let's go on here, what the fure
you talking about? What where we gonna go there. It's like,
what do you pissed off about her? You're the one
dipping on her, you know. It's always like, get off
my phone.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
It's like that.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
So you know, when you hear something like that, it's
like like when I think of that, I think as
somebody that doesn't want to confront the situation of like,
you know, hanging up. It's like, that's not going to
solve it. You messed up, dude, And maybe there's a
reason that he messed up, right, or maybe there's maybe
there's you know, like a bridge to be a gap
(35:07):
to be bridged when you guys communicate about just sussing
it out and figured it out. Because I always think
it's like to your point, you never know when anything
can happen. You never know, so I always try to
err on the side of caution, like even with close friends,
great friends, whatever, you know, family, especially anytime I do
something wrong and I shut the door and I'm by myself,
(35:29):
I'm like, you gotta do it. Yeah, I just instantly
go back. I don't care if you don't talk to me.
I'm sorry. I apologize right, and just so it's out there.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, Sometimes to get people to talk. You have to
corner them and confront them. Some people just don't want
to communicate, and then once they have no choice, they
realize it's like, okay, we have to we have to
talk about this. Yeah, you know. So maybe it goes
that way for you. I hope it does. I hope
you it pans out. But I would say you need
to you need to take the steps here to talk
to that person exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah. I think I think we're It's amazing seeing how
communication is the key for so many things. But I
think you may feel justified in the fact that you
don't want to. Why should I. It's like, okay, well
then just the resentment's going to continue. Yeah, and nothing's gonna.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Get Why should I because you're the one thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Now, So that's what got Jon. You just get it,
get it, get it, get it.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
All right. This is coming us from Michael. Hi, mommies, Zap,
big fan of you both. Zach's name is Michael, maybe.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
It's a oh maybe, says nickname is Zap. I love
that nickname.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Let's call him Zap all right, Zap.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I need some advice. My wife and I as well
as my sisters as my wife's sister and brother in law.
We're all contemplating homeschooling for our children. My son four
years old and my nephew will be four in October.
We've been weighing the pros and cons and wanted to
take your one your take on it. Kids are very
These are very social kids. When they go to the
park or zoo, they play and make friends with kids.
No problem thoughts on that aspect is team sports outside
(37:10):
of homeschooling to hone their social skills. Thanks mommies for
your advice.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
He wants his name Zap and he wants to be
their teacher. Did they call him mster Zat?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, that's a I've had a few friends contemplate that,
but I think that's a hell of a commitment.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
You know, this new thing people are doing is private
schooling at home. So they hire a teacher that is
quit and they come into the house and they teach
their kids. So it's not the parents teaching. They get
these So this is people.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
This is typical, Like we go from a homeschool into nah.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Died somebody else do this?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I've heard that a couple of people have done that
kind of thing where they had they had gotten the
commune together of like people in their neighborhood that wanted
it was similar to this, right, I feel like it
always happens when there's a gathering of people that are like, hey,
we need to go right. Yeah, But I really think, honestly,
it is just a product of where you are. You know,
my district, my school district's great. I think the teacher
(38:12):
is a phenomenal. The principle of my kids school's unbelievable.
I think it's a really good, you know, community, and
I like having them be a part of it. That
being said, if you are somewhere where it's terrible that
you know, the schools aren't safe, the schools are you
don't feel like, again what you need that you're paying
for with your tax dollars, then you might want to
be thinking about it. So I don't think there's a
right or wrong answer here. I just would say it's
(38:35):
an enormous commitment, an enormous commitment, enormous commitment.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And my wife's a teacher, right, she was a teacher,
and when pandemic hit we had to homeschool kids in California.
I was like oh, thank god, because she can. She's
a teacher. Right, But what I saw, because here's the thing,
are you smarter than the fifth grader?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I am not.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
No, I couldn't do any of that stuff. But you know,
even my daughter's doing fractions now. I'm like, no clue,
I haven't done any of that since since I left.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
But she.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
It took her a second to catch up. She's like,
I'm being a mom and not a teacher. And so
there was also that discernment that anybody that does that
has got to know you're not a parent when you
do it, although you are, you're their teacher. So it
took her like forty eight hours to flip the switch
and she got it recalibrated. It was off to the races.
But again, like to your point, it's a ton of bandwidth,
(39:31):
it's a lot of time, and I think you're one
hundred percent right. It depends on your location. If you
have a great public school or great school, why would you.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah, I feel like if they're thinking about, they don't right.
If they're asking, I'm thinking about for what reason? Yeah?
So if you look, you're looking to get the kids
out of a certain element that you don't feel like
your options are to move or homeschool. But they're doing
it with a bunch of people, so maybe everybody's gonna take.
Everybody takes a subject.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Give me recess.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Yeah I got funny. Yeah, I'll do lunch and p
But your.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Kids are not going to turn out like Tim Tebow.
That's an anomaly. That's like I think. And Tim Tebow

Gator Rade, that's right.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
I know, I know drinks, I know, I know beverages.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
You do know beverages. Okay, all right, so I don't
know homeschool. It's just like god, yeah, yeah, oh you know.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
During our pandemic my kids were young, it was preschool
and whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
If you were forced to like let's say, schools were
like another pandemic kind of situation, it's like, okay, your kid,
you you Every American is responsible for homeschool and their
kids from now. My kids, I'm like, you just get
a job at mine. Key right now, just go to
McDonald I do it because we're not.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
I did the homeworks.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
You did it.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
I do I even now I do three o'clock. Me
and my daughter sit down. We do our homework together.
It's like a little date. I have my coffee, she
does our homework. Yeah, it's great, I do. I enjoy.
It reminds me of my mom. My mom used to
help me with my homework and we used to sit
down and go. But there was a point when I
got smart, and I remember it when I got smarter
than my mother really and I was, yeah, I was,
I'm pretty school. As far as school went, I was,
(41:45):
I was good. And I remember there's a point where
like I was correcting her, and then she was like,
all right, so if you know everything, do it yourself.
And I just did it and that was it. It
just went from there. I used to make test stuff
for my dad. That's what the geek I was. Yeah,
my dad would have to call you were a mathlete.
I was an athlete.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
But I was good at school as far as school
when I was pretty well rounded school subject wise, except
I didn't like to read like fiction, so I wasn't
really great at English, you know, like the when you
had to like read works of Shakespeare and stuff. I
didn't really connect.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
But you are a nerd with social skills. I think
that's how I would describe you. You're a nerd reritibly, like.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
Look at that. That's a nice I think that, thank you.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
No, you're like a cool you.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Like you're not the typical like wallflower that's going to
sit at the lunch table by himself and bring a
briefcase and be awkward.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Like you.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
You had all the attributes of being hyper intelligent, but
you also like, I'm like an extrovert.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
You could goof the extrovert, bounce me out, but I
wasn't in the beginning. Yeah, but so I remember, like
my dad used to come home from he was selling
selling insurance ten hours a day, trying to put food
on the table. I would come home and he would
go kick them joey with his loose leaf paper that
I wrote up a test for him to take, and
he would answer a ten question like fill in the
black multiple choice coursees. I would do that for like
(42:58):
every day when he would come home and he would
do it, and he would do it. Yeah, and then
I remember that sometimes he was like, I don't know,
do this twelve thirteen? Yeah around there, young teenage?
Speaker 2 (43:09):
See if that my kid did that? I have a
quiz for you, ready, have a quiz for you? If
I do this, will you never ever ever ever asked
me to do another quiz again?
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Is that a good quiz? Yeah? No, daddy, weill okay, goodbye.
That's like I I crunkle it up. I couldn't like
a homework.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
And patient dad.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Though I love my kid.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
More than you love your kids.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Like my my mom, I would help her with her
homework during my homework because she was always taking English
classes like phonics and all that stuff. Very insecure about her.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
That's why you have such a good vocabulary.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Well, my father's also like I think, like I think
the Irish, like the old school Irish, just had a
deep appreciation for literature and read everything. Yeah, he's got
a deep vocabulary.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Yeah you do. You're You're pretty stacked in that.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Right.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Here we go. It's coming on is from Laura, Hey, Joe,
and Steve. I love your podcast and always tell people
about how funny you both are and that they need
to listen. There's been very painful for me, so I'm
going to cut to the chase. I just found out
that my boyfriend of almost three years has been cheating
on me. I'm beyond distraught because this was the person
I was setting up to be with for the rest
of my life. Oh it doesn't just feel like I
lost my boyfriend, but it also feels like I lost
(44:27):
my future. Everything I've been planning is ruined, and I
feel like I have to start from scratch. Have you
guys ever been cheated on? And if so, how did
you deal with it? Ps Steve, I hate the way
you say via it's wrong. She wants me to say
via yea via there's but okay, you.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
Get the express. We just talked about your vocabulary.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
We're done with the semantics of vocabulary. But obviously, Laura,
we feel your pain.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Yes, for sure.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
There's a whole industry that has made uh billions of
dollars off of this. It's called sad songs. Every musical
artist has dealt with this. There's a sad song that
is out there that will get you through this. That
was always the thing for me. The Cranberryes in college
was an album everyone else is doing. It's why can't I?
(45:14):
Because Denise Apienza cheated on me in front of me
in a fraternity house and I confronted her and I
walked in the house and they all chucked me out,
and it was like a classic movie where I got
chucked out in the rain looking up and she's in
the window with a dude and the dude's laughing at me,
like you couldn't have script it any worse. And so
the Cranberries, So that was that was the album. Literally
(45:38):
they got me through it. Yeah goodness, But you think
about all the breakup songs in the world. There's somebody
out there everybody's dealt with We've all dealt with it.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Yeah, you're gonna get over to Yeah, you will, sure,
and then you know you can't plan your future. That's
how they call it the future rights. This has happened.
You're you're gonna go on a different You're gonna go
on a different route now, yeah, so you'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
This is when you go hog wild to the gym,
get fit, take a victory lab, get bombed, bang some strange,
have some fun, go to Jamaica. Did you make some
things off your pocket list? You don't talk about it?
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Have some fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
I think the biggest part is like, you can't dwell
on the wasted the wasted time, because you didn't waste
more time than you would have if you found out later. Right,
So if you stuck with them for fifteen years, then
he cheated on you, Oh, you would have wasted fifteen years.
You wasted three, but you saved twelve. The way to
look at it, right, you save twelve years. So you're welcome.
(46:34):
You're welcome. You've got twelve years of your life back, right,
You've gotten this now with it. Whatever age you are,
is better to be single than later in life when
you're doing know what you're dealing with down on the road.
So it's hard though, for sure, because especially when you're
building this in your mind, this is my one and whatnot,
and they end up not being that. It's hard. I
would just say, don't carry that forward. I think that's
the biggest thing. Don't carry that forward because not every
(46:56):
person is created equal, not everybody has the same you know,
values or love for you. So I would say that
person is that person. Don't bring that baggage with you
to the next encounter because they'll.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Just work it down. Yeah. But I also think it's
a look, I mean how many. I mean, I don't
be like a pig or something. But you think about
like all the people you dated, right, like all of them,
and it's like, you know, there's always the one right,
the one right. It's like, yeah, it's hard. It's hard
(47:27):
to find that individual. It's hard to find that individual
that you deal with. And even when you get married,
that person's going to be a different person five or
ten years from the state you get married. And so
you know, one of the things I tell my wife constantly,
I'm like, you know, you married, Sorry, can we change
the prenup? But I tell it constantly, I'm like, I'm
(47:50):
so grateful that you the person I married and the
person you married are two completely different people. At the court,
it's still like you know the same, but there's just differences.
There's mature that comes into play, and she is a
better person than the person I married, like I got
to improved, like an upgrade. It's like she's been unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
And so I disagree because I met her about five
years ago atrocious and now she's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
With surgery and just a water diet. But I think
sometimes that goes the other way. That goes the other
way for quite a few individuals, I've been a sounding
board for you know, I've got a bartender's here. Sometimes
you got to listen to your friends, and I've heard
like horror stories, and you know, people outgrow each other sometimes.
There's just a million different facets and variables that can
(48:39):
happen in any relationship. So just know that whatever it
is you're going through, Laura, like everybody's gone through it,
and you're going to be better for it, I guarantee you.
Because it also like chisels and formulates like what you
will accept or not accept in the future in terms
of like this works for me, right, and this doesn't
because I learned from that last relationship that I just
(49:02):
something I won't holler one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
I think I think we're both saying the same thing.
And also but not, it's not lost on us. At
right now you are hurting and everything sucks and the
world's terrible. Yeah, I mean like we're just giving some
sort of outside perspective. But I also you know, know
that when you're inside the ship storm and that you're
inside the tornado, when you see everything going on, it's
it's rough. So hang in there. The clouds will part
(49:23):
and you will you will be okay.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
You know what the best film for guys at least
is Swingers. Swingers is a great film, and it's all
about a guy that broke up with a girl, and
there's everybody can relate to this because there's bouts of
moments where you think I'm over her, I'm cool, but
you know you're not, and you're forcing yourself to be
over her, and all your friends are saying get over her,
and it just like it's not clicking. And then just
(49:48):
one day, just click, one day something happens you're like,
I'm over It is great.
Speaker 3 (49:52):
So I hope that day comes soon for you. I
hope clicks soon and we love you.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
We well, I don't know your lower I gotta see
what you look like before I commit to love. Hold on,

Speaker 3 (01:22):

Speaker 2 (01:22):
We just came in from.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I was in I was down in Florida. I did
a college show at the University of Southern Florida. Fantastic
fantastic with a mutual friend of ours met with Yes,
I met up with Colin Jost and we had a
good time. And our boy Marcello Hernandez.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
By the way, two comedians very gifted with incredible hair.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Angers me. It ain't angers me Colin. Colin's hair has
always been just like perfection. Colin. You just look at
him and it's not fair. But what Marcella like, he
does that thing where he shows off. He puts his
hood up, his hoodie up, and he has the hairs
poking out like He's like, I got so much I
can't even tunk all the hair into this hood.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
But then it's also like sometimes you see, I remember
we did this show. I was on this show years
ago called the Real Wedding Crashers. Okay, Wedding Crashers comes out.
Then a TV show called The Real Wedner Crashes comes
out and it's Ashton Kutcher produced it. This is just
after punked. And what we would do is we would
team up with people that had getting married and we
(02:20):
would basically pull pranks on their guests the whole weekend,
and then the big reveal was at the wedding. They'd
learned that we were not their best friends or the
past or the dry cleaner, like we were actually in
on this the whole time. So we're doing the only
reason I bring it up is I'll never forget this.
Katherine Wrightman who's got a great show called Working Moms
on Netflix, and then Desi Lyttick, who's a correspondent on
(02:42):
The Daily Show. There were these There were the two
girls on the show along with me and two other
guys and and I'll never forget this. They had this
Justin Timberlake impersonator. This guy looked just like him really,
and he was there as like a goof for their wedding,
like we got Justin team would like to perform. So
he shows up and Catherine and Desi are head over
(03:05):
heels this guy. They're like he is so hot, and
I'm like, this is the fake one and you're going
nuts over him, and they were smitten with him, like yeah,
you should have lunch with us, Like he just got there.
I'll never forget this. He had a backward hat on
and he's like, eh, so so they're going to lunch
and he took his hat off and like receding like patchie,
(03:29):
you know, not like even cool like like it was.
It was just like, I'll just throw a hat on
today it looks so bad and Catherine just Cather just
looking at she goes eh. So when Marcelo does that
he could there's always a reveal. It's like, okay, because
I got a big fourhead, I would love.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Like a hat that just had the hair on. And
he took it off. The whole thing came off.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You see those guy Fieri ones though there.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, have the visors and the that's the visor is
great because I used to rock advisor a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Because I seem like a visor.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I'll tell you one because I don't like to mess
my hair, which makes no sense, I know, but I
don't like to message. So I love the visor because
I did the peekabooth peaks right through. You know, the
garden is still playing around the fences. You know, get
the half of the cap on. It's you know, it's
a greenhouse. Nobody wants a greenhouse effect. Talk to the climate,
shout out climate change.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But I was saying, these are fake, Yeah, these are not.
Speaker 3 (04:21):

one of the nicest guys but also incredibly yeah, very
just that main of hair he's got like skateboarder hair.

rain drops. Yeah, it's just like everything works out for
the guy, just like mister McGoo. Remember he just walked
in the traffic. You're like, I was, how was a
car not hitting this guy. He's so smooth. He works hard,
he's attained everything. But I guarantee there will be a
shark attack. It won't be him. He'll save the person
(05:46):
from me.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He'll save the shark. He'll the shark got bit by
this kid. Let me save the shark. Yeah, that's what'll happened.

It was one of those things like you the guy
took a shirt off. You're like, I want to see
my parents, Like how is that I just I just.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Did this thing. So my daughter like, I'm like, I
have fun with my kids. I'm like a fun dad,
would you know we always be silly and whatnot. So
my kids we got this bouncy house like obstacle course
thing off that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I don't see you in front of a fireplace with
reading glasses like silence, quiet down, reading papas reading the
time pipe.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So we bought this like obstacle course thing where you
run through it's inflatable, you know. It's a couple of
hundred bucks on Amazon. The kids like it. It was
her Remo's birthday party, so we got it and it
has a slide at the end and it's awesome. And
Bessie put it at the end of the pool where
we have a little bit you know grass. So the
kids are run through a lot and I see the
slide at the end and I'm like, I wonder if
(08:04):
I could just turn it, and then the kids run
through the obstacle course. I throw a hose on it
and they slide right to the deep end of the pool.
I'm like, oh, that'd be really fun. So I'm looking
at it and I go, oh, this is really cool
and then as I'm about to say it, I turn
it and here comes my daughter, eight year old dark
cons run now she goes Dak. We put the slide
to go in the pool. I was like, you are me,
you are exactly. Let's do it. So I turned the
whole do the whole slide whatever. So then the couple
(08:25):
of the moms like, oh, is it safe? I was like,
I'll go first. Right. This is a blow up obstacle
course made for eight to ten year olds.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
The moms are just checking to make sure. Are we
completely on cue with the Obamacare? We have a okay,
everybody's covered.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Okay, let's do it. So I took a float and
I put it on the bottom. I had to make
this little padding in case it didn't work out. I
go to go, I go.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You do the obstacle course.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I do the little obstacle course. I would love to
see you an activity. It's I'm fantastic run. I'm much faster.
Let me think. I'll also tell you way faster than
you think.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So I got wheels.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I would love we should race.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
We got wheel Oh you on a race. I'd love
to wish you race a charity. You can't touch me
on ultimate frisbee field.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
We'll race for people with spinal cord injury.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
We'll race them and I might wing. I have a shot.
I hated anyway, I'm going down. So we put the
(09:31):
hose on the thing and I go to jump and
I full blown just get stuck the thing and go
So my dough just grabs the hose and she's hosing
me down like a beached whale to move me down
the thing. And I'm doing the work. I'm doing the
bumping to get down. The whole thing is shaken. Finally
I go down and I lay them is like my turn,
and she just kills it. Runs through slides right through.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You need like liquid soap. I do because because what
I learned is we you know, I got kids as well.
I'm not as fun as you are, but we have
like that slipping slide. You can't just put water on you.
You got to put it on on that. A little
bit of soap and the kid's zip and it's like
Chevy chasing Christmas vacation. Yeah later, dudes, do you see
like some.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Of the older like you know, the twenty somethings or
thirty somethings they go to like a a ski resort
and they do it on the hill. Do you ever
see those where they basically just like garbage tarids like
super and yeah, that's and they just go for like
a mile down that. That's unbelievable. I would love do that.
I would pick up some heat. That's when i'd have wheels.
This thing a gato in motion, stays in motion. This
(10:33):
body's gonna keep this thing's gonna keep going.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You'd been like that scene in Norbit, Yeah, when she
goes on the thing that didn't I did.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
That once, but I think I ever told you the story.
But I went skiing. I shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I would love to see you.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't do you just anyone the whole time.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
No, I just I just talk and go. I just
crashed like you would talk and go. I just talk
and I don't know how to do anything on I
don't do it anymore because I just can't. I couldn't
then either. But I'm like this is I'm probably about
thirty years old, and I'm going skiing down a hill
and there's a turn. You got to make a turn
to go. But it was like one of these bunny hills.
It's a little resort, and on the other side there
(11:11):
was the you know, the snow tubes that you sit
on and covi down. I know the little kids go
with all their parents and whatnot. So I'm skiing with
my two cousins, younger cousins, you know, they're probably in
their late teens. So here we go. Here comes cousin Joey.
I'm going. We're having a good time. So I go,
and I'm going too fast, and and here's the courses
right in front of me. And you have to make
(11:31):
a hard right to go down, continue down the ski
part and the separate the only separation is one of
those mesh orange orange mesh like construction fences that you
buy like at home depot. So here comes cousin Joey.
I can't hit the right I go. I see it happening.
I go, I go through the woods, I get wrapped
up in the thing.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I hit the I lose the skis, I start, I
start mummying it right down, wrapped up, and I'm down
down the hill, sliding next to the people snow tubing
rats in orange construction.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I'm like, I gave you the first person that did this.
I can't turn but then you end up at the bottom.
I was at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You're at the bottom and everybody there's no way to avoid.
Everybody's looking at you.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Then one guy was his daughter or whatever, and he's like,
I saw you coming. You can't see anything, you know,
just see a gato in motion coming through.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Never seeing that. But or no, But I was in
high school but I always played hockey, so it's the
same like similar, Yeah, kids, two kids, No, my kids
are I always wanted them to get in hockey, and
but now we're in Tennessee. There's no like winter sports
as much as you would think. But uh, but there's
pockets where you can go, but we just haven't. And
and the older I get to, it's just like I
(12:43):
you know, it's like I don't want to get on
a motorcycle because of spinal cord injury, but I also
don't want to ski because I don't want to blow
my knee, right.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It's like all those things you think about when you're
in your late for early thirties, When mid thirties, do
we have the filter on?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
We have?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Can we filter? In my mid thirties, I love.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
To add like a mouse snapchat filter right now.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Ears, yeah, I'm in my mid thirty.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Everybody thinks that, but everybody older than you, really, I
hat that a lot everything you're younger than me.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It's the Korean skin, I think.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, I think it's the fat Italian that's slowly falling
a pot and high definition.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
See.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think when it when when people go like this
or like that, you know, when it's two people, it's
like you know, but yeah, when it when they go
like that, Oh maybe maybe because you got the you
get the salt and pepper.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Salt and pepper here, yeah, yeah, we in effect I
wanted to push your babe day and night. I work
up a sweat. I think.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think like you die your hair though, right, I
got a little bit on the sides, but you die
where This is where I go, Yeah, this is where
you do.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
What do you do? Little?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I little do just for men right there, really just
for the right there with the.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Little just a top, you're okay, I don't have salt
and pepper.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Like it's starting to come in a little bit here
and there.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, and then up top I'm okay, yeah, up top, Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It's like the sides, but this is like if I
don't do anything. This goes grey?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Why don't you Why don't you just let the sprinkles come? Baby,
I distinguished gentleman.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, I think at some point when it when it like,
but I don't want to, like, you know, the Fantastic Four, Yeah,
Richard were just like white and then the rest of
it is like cool, It's like, well, why is he
so that's what it looks like?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, I had that for a minute, like when I
was like thirty four. Though, like that, I started going
like because my my like aunts and uncles, my mom
all were like white lions, like you know, so I
imagine that's gonna eventually happen to me.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
But uh yeah, at some point I'll do it. I
was thinking of just I saw this one comic Grojo Perez,
great guy, super funny too, but he dyed his hair
gray and it looked really cool.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
He died did gray.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
He diedd gray. But it was like a like a
comic book hero kind of great, like not like a
silver Fox Martin kind of great. But he like look,
I was like, oh that if if I could pull that,
I don't think I can pull that off.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Though it's I don't either. Yeah, yeah, but I'm not
saying do that.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You can be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You've always always I want to see it in the past, Judge,
And I'm like, no, I'll come over with the car.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Two Cool Moms is a podcast that you and I started,
yes back in the day. We've done it for over
a year now, right, and it basically is we both
had very cool mothers who gave great motherly advice, right,
and we like to think that we've inherited that we
are each other's confidants. We've helped people, friends in our
circles that come to us for sound advice. Yes, so
we want to do that for the world.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
We thought we have superpowers bestowed upon us and inherited
by these wonderful moms. My mother Korean alive.

Oh God, say you know your rhana that you saw
you were going down like my mom is great, breathing.
I saw it. You know mine's dead.

And now I have I guess survivors guilty. It's almost
like I've stolen valor. Because my mom's beat cancer. It's like, yeah, okay,
oh your might be cancer. She did be cancer. My
father beat cancer about a year ago.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh so you're just riddled with it, sha checked.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I gotta get the I gotta get the I gotta
get a finger.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I just got a call about you did two weeks ago.
First first one? Yeah, but why not bad?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
But you told me, I said how to go? You said,

Speaker 3 (18:30):
I was, I have a fart pocket.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I have come again.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I have a large mouth dive ticulitis, and basically what
happens is gas gets caught in the in the large
mouth and part of my intestine just blowans up, bubbles up. Yeah,
so your doctor told you, no, I've assessed. I nicknamed
it a part pocket. That's not a medical no. Yeah.
(18:55):
So so that's what made me go in. But everything's fine,
everything checked out.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Wait, hold on, so you like you had gas issues
and that's why you I was getting this pain.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I was getting a pain because they get what happened
to the guess with like cripple. I'm like, what is
this pain? You've been on the road with me, like
sometimes when I'm taking stage and you know, on the road,
I'm not as regular as I'd like to be.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You're just crop dusting the stage.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, that front road gets every penny. No, the problem
is I'm not like you know, I'm like I get like,
you know, I get all the gas.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
There like an awful shamous show, Like you don't want
to be in this splash show guys, you.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Know like this the thing that distance. Yeah, so I
get like this little bubble thing. But he checked it out,
gave me some meds, worked it out, so I'm feeling better.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
So it's just temporary.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's just temporary. Well, you just have to manage it.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
How do you manage a fard mode?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You just have to try to fart, But how do
you try to know? You just on the road. I
just have to try to, like eat a lot of fiber,
make sure I keep everything.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Oh you mean not eat a fucking waffle sunday.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I mean that's that probably could be part of the clothes.
I mean probably my my my diet probably is a
contributing factor. I'm not saying Gill is.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Charged, but yes, okay, let's get back.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
To our moms. So our mom's. My mom was a blunt,
forced instrument. She's I think, a stereotypical tiger mom, you know,
just completely honest with every aspect of life, no matter,
you know. I remember I got married. She poked my stomach,
like poked my stomach and said, uh what, and she's like,
(20:30):
you're getting fat And I was like, it's my wedding day,
Like I'm getting married today. Like she would constantly things
like that just keep you in check. And as much
as it may come off as harsh, oh, sometimes the
best things you can be told are raw honesty. You've
always been very honest with me, you know, with things
that I shouldn't wear, don't do that too much, too
(20:53):
much going on with my face fats, Yes, you got
me in check with that. So I feel like as
much as my mom is still that matern and no
force and giving me raw honesty and advice or you know,
anything along the along the way, like everybody she's ever
pointed out and said I don't like him, she always
aw amazing right always, and especially with the girlfriends, she
(21:15):
was always one hundred percent correct. The first one I had,
she's like she's no good, she's no good, and she physically,
like physically like beat me up one day, like like
we were hammered, you know. But it was like I
was kind of laughing at the same time, but she
was like fucking cracking me. And then she gave my
best friend a fresh one, like a nice freshiet. He's like, Denny's,
what the hell you do? He's like bitch about, like
(21:36):
a bitch, a straight a bitch lab and we were
both I mean, looking back, I guess it's kind of awful,
but like I thought it was funny.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
In the moment.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You were like, yeah, jeez, guys, this girl is crazy.
But my mom called it and she was like something,
something's off with her. And then when when when my
wife first met Jest, she's like, don't don't, don't, don't
mess this up.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Oh your mom, your mom gave he them right away. Yeah,
that's great. Yeah, my mom got to meet Bessie before.
She was around for about a year and a half
because we were dating long distance. But Bessie looks so young.
I my mom's great. You know, my mom was the best.
She was Sicilian firecracker, shoot you straight, lots of love,
loved everybody, made sure everybody was okay. One of those
Italian moms, you know, but completely like had that Sicilian streak,
(22:18):
like if you wronged me, there's no there's no need
to feel my life. Yeah. Right, So she had like
a little bit of that in there. But my mom,
Bessie looks really young, and I had younger cousins. It
was New Year's even my mom came over to my
cousin's house. We were all had hung out and well
she hadn't met Bessie, and so my cousin Mike was
there and he looks older and Besie younger. It looked
(22:39):
like it could be dating, right, right, right, So before
my mom came in, I said, get on Mike's lap,
and I put Bessie on Mike's lap. So we walk
in and my mom walk so, you know, saying hello,
I am mom, and then she goes over to the best.
She goes, oh, who's this boutana?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Right, She's like, look, she's so pretty. She gets whatever,
and then you know, Mike says his arm around or whatever.
And then as we're just sitting there talking, my mom
has a Coffee's like, how's everybody's New Years? There's New
Year's Day. She went out, she went to the be
stro and danced all night with her girlfriends. Right, She's like, oh,
I was crazy. We had a great night. And as like,
I just took Bessie and just put her on my
lap and just gave her, you know, a kiss. And
my mom goes and she's not going to call me
(23:12):
and I'll never forget. And she goes, what what the
fuck is this? We all lost it. I said, mom,
this is actually Bessie, my girlfriend. She's in from California.
And my mom goes, you have a girlfriend. I didn't
know about this she sat it down and she like
grilled her for like you know, which was really that
(23:33):
was the first time she met her. And then when
Bessie first moved here, my mother hated watermelon. Hated watermelon,
like with the passions, like when she was grown up.
She sayd the smell of it. Whatever. So it's Labor
Day weekend. It's Bessie had just moved here from California.
She moved in with me. It's like the second time
she's seeing my mother. We're at We're at the big
webcan with my sister called a big Vin, her brother,
my brother Benny. He writes, We're all hanging out and
(23:54):
they cut the watermelon. I said to Bessie, so best,
my mom's a watermelon.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You knew.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
I knew. So I was like, okay, you bring my
mom's watch. You go, oh yeah, because he's like, hey, missus,
got on. My mother turns around, smacks and goes get
the fuck out. He turns red.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
We are on the floor.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
We are on the floor level.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
My mother is like, thank you do that son? Yeah.
So she was like that, she like turned like crazy
like that, but she was she was great. So those

gil Oh so sorry.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Hey, so it doesn't meant to be though you're welcome.
I think you're welcome. Is in order?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Three months?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Months?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Three months? Imagine investing two years of your life.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
And then the investment in the move to get together.
We're to do this, It's going to be great, and
then boomskate done.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Oh my god, that's the worst feeling in the world.
Two years you live in different cities. You have all
that investment of time, a travel of getting together, or
just bandwidth of like, don't make a feel bit, Oh,
I just feel horrible though. You couldn't save it. You
couldn't save it. It was doomed. But oh my god,
(26:54):
that feeling of just like, yeah, imagine one of them
had to know the first do within forty eight hours.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Did you have to live with a girlfriend. Yes, and
that didn't become your wife?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Wow, scandalous. You never did that. No, never, you never
moved in with a girl. I live with Murray. I
didn't live with That was my my room. I had,
me and me and Murray. We were best friend in
it in a seven hundred and fifty square foot apartment
sharing a.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Bandage seven fifty.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah. I he used to be in the shower and
I used to go in and poop on him. It
was great.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
This is a real thing. By the way, I would move.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
The door open, I would talk to him. Could you
shut the door? I'm like, no, I got blushed a
fall back. But Murray and I were actually very good.
We were very good roommates. I don't think many people
could have done with me and mar pulled off. Actually,
because Mer and I live worked together that we had
just started the show. We were together each other twenty
hours a day. Really don't tell me to see who
other when we were sleeping, we were working the same place,
(27:47):
and we still remained friends, which is crazy because that's
a lot to handle with somebody. And I'm a lot
and he's a lot. But like we're like we're a
little different energies too, Like I'm pretty intense, you know. Yeah, so,
but it was it worked out. That was the only
thing I've always had roommates.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Though you're both very opinionated, Yeah, you both have strong opinions.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But I will say murray Is has always been very
open to my opinion and taking my advice a lot,
like he is always I've always been a consigli airy
for him in a real way of like, you know,
things like he had identified that he wanted to change
or needed help with and things like that, Like we
were like brothers that way, still are. But he was
like very much like what do I do here? Or
(28:29):
how do I do this? Not even just like dating
with girls, because he had always he dated way longer
than I did before he had settled down with his
his lady. But I think it just worked because he
was open with that, Like he would listen to me
more than he would listen to anybody else I.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Think, you know what I mean, Well, that probably goes
to the fact that, look, he's a really really smart guy, smart,
super incredibly smart, and it goes a long way to
think that he'd be open to listening to other people's opinion,
because you have some people that are just incredibly intelligent.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
But but we were also older too, Like we're roommates
at like thirty two, Like you know what I mean,
So it's kind of like, yeah, you're setting your ways.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
That's kind of the norm now. Now it is now,
it is, But back when we were younger, when you
don't have to die beside burns.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, I never lived alone until recently. That was the
first time I've ever lived alone. I always had roommates
or I was living my mom's at basement. Yeah that's
what I was doing.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
But imagine moving with somebody.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And so, how did yours? That was yours? Terrible? That
didn't work out?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah it was no, No, No, I mean she's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Yeah, we're no.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I mean the moment, the moment was bad. The moment
was bad.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
How long are we living together?

I should break the ice with my brother. If I
should break the ice with my brother Jonathan. Oh some background,
he's fifteen years older than me and my half brother.
We're sharing the same mom. Despite the age gap. We
(30:33):
used to talk frequently. My dad, his stepdad, died on
June second of pancreatic cancer. His birthday was on July second,
and on that day my mom decided to have a
celebration of his life, inviting only family and two close
friends who helped out a lot while he was sick.
Without telling anyone, Jonathan invited some of his friends and
their children go.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
To the next one.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
My mom found out, okay, there's a long one. Okay
found out when they were only twenty minutes away, despite
the drive for them being four hours. There was little
she could say about it, and at the point we
hardly celebrated my dad because of this. Jonathan and his
wife stayed inside with their friends, while my husband and
I stayed outside with my mom. It breaks my heart
because she has been crying, but eventually wiped her tears
(31:18):
away and went inside to be a good host. I
later found out after they left, Jonathan called our mom
saying I needed to apologize to his wife for being
rude to her and their friends. My mom thinks he's
in the wrong, but told him she is staying out
of it. She told me what he said because now
if he hears me in the background while I'm on
the phone with her, he hangs up. I'm at a
(31:40):
loss on how someone could do this. Any thoughts or
advice is appreciated. Wow, this is pretty detailed.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
And it is pretty that's pretty deep. So there's a
it's coming. The problem is coming out of a huge
traumatic moment that everyone is caught up in their emotions on.
So whenever those things, whenever, that's the seed that gets planted.
I feel like that tree is a strong tree to
cut down because you're coming from a moment of like,
that's a very upsetting time in your life and it
(32:05):
feels like you were stolen your way you could grieve
or handle a situation, and you can't get that back.
So the first thing I think you need to do
is work around that. You have to realize that that
is that moment of time is gone. And now let's
not base it on that. Let's base it on the
fact that you guys aren't in each other's lives and
(32:27):
you clearly want to be right because you're reaching out
to ask about it. Of course, so I'm a firm
believer if you want somebody in your life, you have
to go get it. And because one of two things
is happening and the other person doesn't know how important
they are to you that you want them in your life,
or you're letting something like this just stand in the way,
which Ultimately, as as it may sound, doesn't matter that
(32:48):
your dad, you know, or dad or stepdad died. What
matters is who's here left with you? Right, So the
bigger regret will be if you know, goph Bids, something
happens to this other person in your life and you
didn't do everything you could, that regret will be even bigger.
And yeah, insurmountable.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, the commonality is obviously the father is passing.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Now.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Look, yes, that day was set aside to acknowledge and
admire and appreciate the time you got to spend with
But you can still kind of do that again.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
You could.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
You could replicate that, right, you could. You could get
it back on track, and everybody across the board do it.
I think what happened is you felt slighted or the
mom felt slighted. And I think sometimes when these things happen,
you don't know what's going on on the other side
of the fence, right You're you're only receiving information from
your mom, and you don't know why somebody would communicate
(33:42):
fifteen minutes out, you know the situation. So it's like,
obviously she hasn't gotten in touch with him, she hasn't
given him an opportunity to say his peace of mind.
So I think obviously it's it's somebody, it's of blood.
And if it's up to you to make that first initial,
you know, I'll a branch. Why not? Why not do it?
(34:05):
It's like you don't lose anything by doing that.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I see what you're saying to though about if he's
hanging up the phone when he hears her voice in
the background, it might be a little either fresh form
or he doesn't know how to handle it. I would
not try to put your mom in the middle of it.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah, yeah, just get to it.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Just get to it, like you know, you know where
he lives, like ring the bell, there's no you know,
is he going to let you? And then you have
your answer just say hey, let's figure this out. Yeah,
and ridiculous. And if he doesn't want to figure it out,
then okay, you go on with yours on him. Yeah,
that's on him. You did what you could and you can't.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
But like, like that's that that reminds me of like
you know, when like a guy's like cheating, ye, and
it's like, hey, let's go on here, what the fure
you talking about? What where we gonna go there. It's like,
what do you pissed off about her? You're the one
dipping on her, you know. It's always like, get off
my phone.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
It's like that.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
So you know, when you hear something like that, it's
like like when I think of that, I think as
somebody that doesn't want to confront the situation of like,
you know, hanging up. It's like, that's not going to
solve it. You messed up, dude, And maybe there's a
reason that he messed up, right, or maybe there's maybe
there's you know, like a bridge to be a gap
(35:07):
to be bridged when you guys communicate about just sussing
it out and figured it out. Because I always think
it's like to your point, you never know when anything
can happen. You never know, so I always try to
err on the side of caution, like even with close friends,
great friends, whatever, you know, family, especially anytime I do
something wrong and I shut the door and I'm by myself,
(35:29):
I'm like, you gotta do it. Yeah, I just instantly
go back. I don't care if you don't talk to me.
I'm sorry. I apologize right, and just so it's out there.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, Sometimes to get people to talk. You have to
corner them and confront them. Some people just don't want
to communicate, and then once they have no choice, they
realize it's like, okay, we have to we have to
talk about this. Yeah, you know. So maybe it goes
that way for you. I hope it does. I hope
you it pans out. But I would say you need
to you need to take the steps here to talk
to that person exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah. I think I think we're It's amazing seeing how
communication is the key for so many things. But I
think you may feel justified in the fact that you
don't want to. Why should I. It's like, okay, well
then just the resentment's going to continue. Yeah, and nothing's gonna.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Get Why should I because you're the one thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Now, So that's what got Jon. You just get it,
get it, get it, get it.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
All right. This is coming us from Michael. Hi, mommies, Zap,
big fan of you both. Zach's name is Michael, maybe.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
It's a oh maybe, says nickname is Zap. I love
that nickname.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Let's call him Zap all right, Zap.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I need some advice. My wife and I as well
as my sisters as my wife's sister and brother in law.
We're all contemplating homeschooling for our children. My son four
years old and my nephew will be four in October.
We've been weighing the pros and cons and wanted to
take your one your take on it. Kids are very
These are very social kids. When they go to the
park or zoo, they play and make friends with kids.
No problem thoughts on that aspect is team sports outside
(37:10):
of homeschooling to hone their social skills. Thanks mommies for
your advice.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
He wants his name Zap and he wants to be
their teacher. Did they call him mster Zat?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, that's a I've had a few friends contemplate that,
but I think that's a hell of a commitment.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
You know, this new thing people are doing is private
schooling at home. So they hire a teacher that is
quit and they come into the house and they teach
their kids. So it's not the parents teaching. They get
these So this is people.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
This is typical, Like we go from a homeschool into nah.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Died somebody else do this?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I've heard that a couple of people have done that
kind of thing where they had they had gotten the
commune together of like people in their neighborhood that wanted
it was similar to this, right, I feel like it
always happens when there's a gathering of people that are like, hey,
we need to go right. Yeah, But I really think, honestly,
it is just a product of where you are. You know,
my district, my school district's great. I think the teacher
(38:12):
is a phenomenal. The principle of my kids school's unbelievable.
I think it's a really good, you know, community, and
I like having them be a part of it. That
being said, if you are somewhere where it's terrible that
you know, the schools aren't safe, the schools are you
don't feel like, again what you need that you're paying
for with your tax dollars, then you might want to
be thinking about it. So I don't think there's a
right or wrong answer here. I just would say it's
(38:35):
an enormous commitment, an enormous commitment, enormous commitment.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And my wife's a teacher, right, she was a teacher,
and when pandemic hit we had to homeschool kids in California.
I was like oh, thank god, because she can. She's
a teacher. Right, But what I saw, because here's the thing,
are you smarter than the fifth grader?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I am not.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
No, I couldn't do any of that stuff. But you know,
even my daughter's doing fractions now. I'm like, no clue,
I haven't done any of that since since I left.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
But she.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
It took her a second to catch up. She's like,
I'm being a mom and not a teacher. And so
there was also that discernment that anybody that does that
has got to know you're not a parent when you
do it, although you are, you're their teacher. So it
took her like forty eight hours to flip the switch
and she got it recalibrated. It was off to the races.
But again, like to your point, it's a ton of bandwidth,
(39:31):
it's a lot of time, and I think you're one
hundred percent right. It depends on your location. If you
have a great public school or great school, why would you.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah, I feel like if they're thinking about, they don't right.
If they're asking, I'm thinking about for what reason? Yeah?
So if you look, you're looking to get the kids
out of a certain element that you don't feel like
your options are to move or homeschool. But they're doing
it with a bunch of people, so maybe everybody's gonna take.
Everybody takes a subject.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Give me recess.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Yeah I got funny. Yeah, I'll do lunch and p
But your.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Kids are not going to turn out like Tim Tebow.
That's an anomaly. That's like I think. And Tim Tebow
is uh, he's an Academy Award winning.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
You don't know Tim Tim Tebow. I know the name. Yeah,
he plays you don't know what Tim Tebow. He plays football.
I don't know sports. You know this.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I know you don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
I know Tim Tebow. He's a quarterback. He's a cool okay,
and he played for the New York Jets, Florida Florida Panthers, Florida, Florida.
He was in Florida Miami Dolphins. Now not the Florida
Jaguars to stop, but he.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Did play Jackson Jaguars for a second. He went to
the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
That's where I know him from.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
But University of Florida Gators. Why everybody knows him at home?
Gator Rade, that's right.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
I know, I know drinks, I know, I know beverages.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
You do know beverages. Okay, all right, so I don't
know homeschool. It's just like god, yeah, yeah, oh you know.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
During our pandemic my kids were young, it was preschool
and whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
If you were forced to like let's say, schools were
like another pandemic kind of situation, it's like, okay, your kid,
you you Every American is responsible for homeschool and their
kids from now. My kids, I'm like, you just get
a job at mine. Key right now, just go to
McDonald I do it because we're not.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
I did the homeworks.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
You did it.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
I do I even now I do three o'clock. Me
and my daughter sit down. We do our homework together.
It's like a little date. I have my coffee, she
does our homework. Yeah, it's great, I do. I enjoy.
It reminds me of my mom. My mom used to
help me with my homework and we used to sit
down and go. But there was a point when I
got smart, and I remember it when I got smarter
than my mother really and I was, yeah, I was,
I'm pretty school. As far as school went, I was,
(41:45):
I was good. And I remember there's a point where
like I was correcting her, and then she was like,
all right, so if you know everything, do it yourself.
And I just did it and that was it. It
just went from there. I used to make test stuff
for my dad. That's what the geek I was. Yeah,
my dad would have to call you were a mathlete.
I was an athlete.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
But I was good at school as far as school
when I was pretty well rounded school subject wise, except
I didn't like to read like fiction, so I wasn't
really great at English, you know, like the when you
had to like read works of Shakespeare and stuff. I
didn't really connect.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
But you are a nerd with social skills. I think
that's how I would describe you. You're a nerd reritibly, like.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
Look at that. That's a nice I think that, thank you.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
No, you're like a cool you.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Like you're not the typical like wallflower that's going to
sit at the lunch table by himself and bring a
briefcase and be awkward.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Like you.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
You had all the attributes of being hyper intelligent, but
you also like, I'm like an extrovert.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
You could goof the extrovert, bounce me out, but I
wasn't in the beginning. Yeah, but so I remember, like
my dad used to come home from he was selling
selling insurance ten hours a day, trying to put food
on the table. I would come home and he would
go kick them joey with his loose leaf paper that
I wrote up a test for him to take, and
he would answer a ten question like fill in the
black multiple choice coursees. I would do that for like
(42:58):
every day when he would come home and he would
do it, and he would do it. Yeah, and then
I remember that sometimes he was like, I don't know,
do this twelve thirteen? Yeah around there, young teenage?
Speaker 2 (43:09):
See if that my kid did that? I have a
quiz for you, ready, have a quiz for you? If
I do this, will you never ever ever ever asked
me to do another quiz again?
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Is that a good quiz? Yeah? No, daddy, weill okay, goodbye.
That's like I I crunkle it up. I couldn't like
a homework.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
And patient dad.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Though I love my kid.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
More than you love your kids.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Like my my mom, I would help her with her
homework during my homework because she was always taking English
classes like phonics and all that stuff. Very insecure about her.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
That's why you have such a good vocabulary.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Well, my father's also like I think, like I think
the Irish, like the old school Irish, just had a
deep appreciation for literature and read everything. Yeah, he's got
a deep vocabulary.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Yeah you do. You're You're pretty stacked in that.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Right.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Here we go. It's coming on is from Laura, Hey, Joe,
and Steve. I love your podcast and always tell people
about how funny you both are and that they need
to listen. There's been very painful for me, so I'm
going to cut to the chase. I just found out
that my boyfriend of almost three years has been cheating
on me. I'm beyond distraught because this was the person
I was setting up to be with for the rest
of my life. Oh it doesn't just feel like I
lost my boyfriend, but it also feels like I lost
(44:27):
my future. Everything I've been planning is ruined, and I
feel like I have to start from scratch. Have you
guys ever been cheated on? And if so, how did
you deal with it? Ps Steve, I hate the way
you say via it's wrong. She wants me to say
via yea via there's but okay, you.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
Get the express. We just talked about your vocabulary.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
We're done with the semantics of vocabulary. But obviously, Laura,
we feel your pain.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Yes, for sure.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
There's a whole industry that has made uh billions of
dollars off of this. It's called sad songs. Every musical
artist has dealt with this. There's a sad song that
is out there that will get you through this. That
was always the thing for me. The Cranberryes in college
was an album everyone else is doing. It's why can't I?
(45:14):
Because Denise Apienza cheated on me in front of me
in a fraternity house and I confronted her and I
walked in the house and they all chucked me out,
and it was like a classic movie where I got
chucked out in the rain looking up and she's in
the window with a dude and the dude's laughing at me,
like you couldn't have script it any worse. And so
the Cranberries, So that was that was the album. Literally
(45:38):
they got me through it. Yeah goodness, But you think
about all the breakup songs in the world. There's somebody
out there everybody's dealt with We've all dealt with it.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Yeah, you're gonna get over to Yeah, you will, sure,
and then you know you can't plan your future. That's
how they call it the future rights. This has happened.
You're you're gonna go on a different You're gonna go
on a different route now, yeah, so you'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
This is when you go hog wild to the gym,
get fit, take a victory lab, get bombed, bang some strange,
have some fun, go to Jamaica. Did you make some
things off your pocket list? You don't talk about it?
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Have some fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
I think the biggest part is like, you can't dwell
on the wasted the wasted time, because you didn't waste
more time than you would have if you found out later. Right,
So if you stuck with them for fifteen years, then
he cheated on you, Oh, you would have wasted fifteen years.
You wasted three, but you saved twelve. The way to
look at it, right, you save twelve years. So you're welcome.
(46:34):
You're welcome. You've got twelve years of your life back, right,
You've gotten this now with it. Whatever age you are,
is better to be single than later in life when
you're doing know what you're dealing with down on the road.
So it's hard though, for sure, because especially when you're
building this in your mind, this is my one and whatnot,
and they end up not being that. It's hard. I
would just say, don't carry that forward. I think that's
the biggest thing. Don't carry that forward because not every
(46:56):
person is created equal, not everybody has the same you know,
values or love for you. So I would say that
person is that person. Don't bring that baggage with you
to the next encounter because they'll.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Just work it down. Yeah. But I also think it's
a look, I mean how many. I mean, I don't
be like a pig or something. But you think about
like all the people you dated, right, like all of them,
and it's like, you know, there's always the one right,
the one right. It's like, yeah, it's hard. It's hard
(47:27):
to find that individual. It's hard to find that individual
that you deal with. And even when you get married,
that person's going to be a different person five or
ten years from the state you get married. And so
you know, one of the things I tell my wife constantly,
I'm like, you know, you married, Sorry, can we change
the prenup? But I tell it constantly, I'm like, I'm
(47:50):
so grateful that you the person I married and the
person you married are two completely different people. At the court,
it's still like you know the same, but there's just differences.
There's mature that comes into play, and she is a
better person than the person I married, like I got
to improved, like an upgrade. It's like she's been unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
And so I disagree because I met her about five
years ago atrocious and now she's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
With surgery and just a water diet. But I think
sometimes that goes the other way. That goes the other
way for quite a few individuals, I've been a sounding
board for you know, I've got a bartender's here. Sometimes
you got to listen to your friends, and I've heard
like horror stories, and you know, people outgrow each other sometimes.
There's just a million different facets and variables that can
(48:39):
happen in any relationship. So just know that whatever it
is you're going through, Laura, like everybody's gone through it,
and you're going to be better for it, I guarantee you.
Because it also like chisels and formulates like what you
will accept or not accept in the future in terms
of like this works for me, right, and this doesn't
because I learned from that last relationship that I just
(49:02):
something I won't holler one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
I think I think we're both saying the same thing.
And also but not, it's not lost on us. At
right now you are hurting and everything sucks and the
world's terrible. Yeah, I mean like we're just giving some
sort of outside perspective. But I also you know, know
that when you're inside the ship storm and that you're
inside the tornado, when you see everything going on, it's
it's rough. So hang in there. The clouds will part
(49:23):
and you will you will be okay.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
You know what the best film for guys at least
is Swingers. Swingers is a great film, and it's all
about a guy that broke up with a girl, and
there's everybody can relate to this because there's bouts of
moments where you think I'm over her, I'm cool, but
you know you're not, and you're forcing yourself to be
over her, and all your friends are saying get over her,
and it just like it's not clicking. And then just
(49:48):
one day, just click, one day something happens you're like,
I'm over It is great.
Speaker 3 (49:52):
So I hope that day comes soon for you. I
hope clicks soon and we love you.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
We well, I don't know your lower I gotta see
what you look like before I commit to love. Hold on,
let me let me take a profile.
