Speaker 1: Gatto and my boy crossed the way. Stevie Burne is
Speaker 1: here with us. Two Cool Moms is your favorite podcast
Speaker 1: that you're listening to right now. So Stevie, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen this thing that's going on on the internet. I
Speaker 1: need my readers, Okay, I like your readers. By the way,
Speaker 1: thank you. These are a bundle from Amazon dot com unisex.
Speaker 1: Clearly Superman's Yes seventy eight. God asked me where super
Speaker 1: Man is? Excuse me, ask me where Superman is? We're Superman.
Speaker 1: I don't know that.
Speaker 2: I like the way you palmed your glasses like a
Speaker 2: third grader.
Speaker 1: You did take him up, take him up? So I'd
Speaker 1: seen this in going around the internet, you know, the
Speaker 1: world Wide Web, of.
Speaker 2: Course, and no bunga, dude, I love surfing.
Speaker 1: They said, Uh, the they had like a you know,
Speaker 1: the n C A double A brackets of like, you know,
Speaker 1: March Madness and whatnot. So they did that for TV dads,
Speaker 1: and they put people up against each other. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I thought, because of our show, Too Cool Moms, I
Speaker 1: would put up the forty. Uh we put up a
Speaker 1: bracket of just who do we think the best moms were?
Speaker 1: And who who's the better mom? Between two who's the
Speaker 1: better mom between two fictitious moms? Okay? So you know,
Speaker 1: for instance, uh you know, let's say Edith bunker okay
Speaker 1: versus Roseanne barr.
Speaker 2: Well, both horrible singers. I think we can agree on that.
Speaker 2: Roseanne watched the Anthem and Edith bunka.
Speaker 1: But now we're hundred cent. We're just doing it on
Speaker 1: their skills we know from TV as all their skills.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I would have to say, well, Roseanne. Roseanne
Speaker 2: was more of a blue collar kind of like cut
Speaker 2: to the Edith was more of a pushover with Archie,
Speaker 2: but she had a ton of heart and she'd set
Speaker 2: him straight at the end. I would say Roseanne, she's
Speaker 2: more of a blunt force instrument as opposed to Edith,
Speaker 2: who has the patience.
Speaker 1: That's what I what are your thoughts? I would one
Speaker 1: say that?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 1: I would? Yeah, Okay, you know what. Edith was kind
Speaker 1: of just like you know what, the Edith did a
Speaker 1: big like mommy like making sure our buddy was fed
Speaker 1: and doing things like that too though, so I think
Speaker 1: she gets mom points there, you know, But overall, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, she would. Roseanne was in the trenches in
Speaker 1: the Roseanne Show, right, she was rough and tumble, trying
Speaker 1: to solve family problems, not having a lot of money,
Speaker 1: doing all this, you know what she had to So
Speaker 1: I think I think I would go. I think I agree.
Speaker 2: By the way, fun fact, my folks bought Edith Bunker's
Speaker 2: apartment from her in New York City when they moved
Speaker 2: to New York in ninety five, I.
Speaker 1: Believe, really holy cow.
Speaker 2: So when they my father's in Native New York and
Speaker 2: when he moved back, that's that's the young lady or
Speaker 2: I should say young lady, but who he bought the
Speaker 2: apartment from. So when we were there, I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. All right. Uh, would you say Peg
Speaker 1: Bundy or Marge Simpson.
Speaker 2: Well, first off, Peg Bundy. When we were in junior
Speaker 2: high school or high school and peg Bunny was out,
Speaker 2: It's like, oh my god, Wow, what are you doing.
Speaker 2: You're complaining about having sex with her? She's like, awesome,
Speaker 2: Peg Bundy. I look, Peg Bundy one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I love her.
Speaker 2: I think Katie Segal look, I'm not okay, yeah, I'm sticking.
Speaker 2: I'm stick of the script. Peg Bunny's hot. I say
Speaker 2: that you're like peg Bunny back in the day was hot.
Speaker 2: I think she's still a very beautiful actress. But I
Speaker 2: think Peg Bundy back in the day was hot, hilarious
Speaker 2: and at the same time like very selfish, which I like.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, March is Marg is more of a mom
Speaker 1: though March.
Speaker 2: Is a mom. Yeah, i'd have to say who's the
Speaker 2: better mom?
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably March.
Speaker 2: But in terms of just like being a pervy, like
Speaker 2: that's not the kid.
Speaker 1: You're playing your own game here. How about how about.
Speaker 2: Like like MILFs, she would do a milk mom.
Speaker 1: I'd like to.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, the better mom would be March Simpsons Martin.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on it?
Speaker 1: I I think I again, a Peggy is like kind
Speaker 1: of a Roseannie kind of eye where she was just
Speaker 1: trying to get through what she had to get through.
Speaker 1: I do find that she was kind of she was
Speaker 1: more motherly. In the they mostly poked fun than the
Speaker 1: show about her being a horrible mom. Yeah, like a
Speaker 1: horrible mom. But at the end of the day, I
Speaker 1: think it was more she was more like a her
Speaker 1: and her husband. Was the dynamic between her and al
Speaker 1: that was more of the butt of the jokes and
Speaker 1: her and her kids. I do you think there was
Speaker 1: love there too? But yeah, I think, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 1: I I don't think she wins Peg Bundy.
Speaker 2: Though she looked out, she always had heels on.
Speaker 1: She did always had like those yoga put together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she had yoga pants for that.
Speaker 2: Yoga pants were like capris or whatever, but they were tight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, should we leave you alone? Permit it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Peg Bundy.
Speaker 2: You didn't kind of have a crush on Peg Bunny,
Speaker 2: but yeah I.
Speaker 1: Did for sure her end What was the Applegate?
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, Christine Applegate. But what was her name? And
Speaker 2: I forget, But anyways, they were both hot. Yeah the
Speaker 2: Bundy household.
Speaker 1: Bud could get it. But the sun was hot too.
Speaker 1: Even the dog that's wasn't the dogs name? Did they
Speaker 1: have a dog?
Speaker 2: They had a dog and the dog would always had
Speaker 2: like voiceover that was really a little doggy.
Speaker 1: Mat all right. How about Maltitia Adams or uh June
Speaker 1: Cleaver from Leave It to Beaver? I bang either. I
Speaker 1: think I've lost focus on the game. They're both in
Speaker 1: black and white. Yeah hot.
Speaker 2: Mortitia was pretty hot though, Yeah she was hot. Look,
Speaker 2: June Cleaver, that's all America. So yes, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Who's the better mom? June Clever Leave It to Beaver
Speaker 2: one hundred percent great paint by the numbers, mean potatoes, fun,
Speaker 2: easy family sitcom. But Adam's family Martitia Adams was way hotter.
Speaker 1: Okay, way hotter.
Speaker 2: Not as good of a mom, but what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1: She raised a weird family? Pretty well.
Speaker 2: I mean there's a hand in that you welcome.
Speaker 1: She literally got a hand in the house. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think I got Morticia, Yeah I think
Speaker 1: I would. Yeah, I think I got Mortitia Adams two. Yeah, Okay, ready,
Speaker 1: how about this is gonna be this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a tough one here, ready, Carmelo Soprano or missus Brady. Wow,
Speaker 1: Now who's the better mom? I mean, I have to
Speaker 1: say missus Brady. I had to say, Missus Brady. I
Speaker 1: disagree here. You I think Carmelo was doing nothing but
Speaker 1: insulating her family from the shit show that was going
Speaker 1: on around them. Sure, but missus Brady had how many kids? Three?
Speaker 1: And then she found the other guy and there was
Speaker 1: six together. Kid but she broughte an aalys who was
Speaker 1: doing some of the mom helping hand. Yeah, she had
Speaker 1: helping hands. I don't know. I think Carmelo soprano is
Speaker 1: tough to beat. Shout out Edie Falco.
Speaker 2: I love her, Yeah, I think I look, I think
Speaker 2: your Italian bloodline is pouring into this and so there
Speaker 2: might be some favoritism here.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe. Yeah, but you know they were fictitious Italian
Speaker 1: mom family that lived in New Jersey.
Speaker 2: You lived in Jersey. I lived in Jersey for a
Speaker 2: minute for sure. Yeah. Boy, that's a tough one.
Speaker 1: But I mean, do you know think Carmelo is a
Speaker 1: mom was trying to do like more? You're probably right
Speaker 1: leading them down the right dealing with hell.
Speaker 2: I mean, you couldn't find a bigger pendulum swing than
Speaker 2: seventy sickcom It's one of those gritty popular shows of
Speaker 2: all time, right with uber violence, drug sex, all of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so like it's crazy. Yeah, i'd have
Speaker 2: to say Carmelo Soprano.
Speaker 1: Okay, Maria Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond okay, and from
Speaker 1: Happy Days. Missus Cunningham. Oh, I love Missus connhad love
Speaker 1: Missus Kinnham. I think for me, that's the mom's mom
Speaker 1: of America, right. Missus Conningham was just the best, the best,
Speaker 1: the best, and so was mister Cunningham. By the way,
Speaker 1: the Cunningham's overall, we're America America's family, Dan's daughter. What
Speaker 1: was the name Chochi loves Joni? Yeah, Jony right, Jony Uh?
Speaker 1: By the way, never never cared for Jony.
Speaker 2: Really do you like Jony?
Speaker 1: You a team Jocchi.
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Jony kind of went through the fell through the cracks
Speaker 1: and Happy Days yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: By the way, so it was Richie, but you know
Speaker 2: then then you you know, you learn older like Richie's
Speaker 2: there to service all the other characters. He's just there
Speaker 2: to be kind of like the guy that sets everything
Speaker 2: up right. He's the Dean Martin to the Jerry Jerry Lewis.
Speaker 2: That is Patsy, Yeah, Vonn's al Ralph. Yeah. Happy Days
Speaker 2: was my jam when I was a kid. Happy Days
Speaker 2: one of your faves, absolutely love.
Speaker 1: One of the most successful spinoffs ever was Lavernon Shirley
Speaker 1: for that show.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, a lot of people don't know that, but
Speaker 2: that was a spin off of that More Commindy. Oh,
Speaker 2: spin off of Happy Days was More Commindy really.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Because Gary Marshall, the producer, his son was in the
Speaker 2: Aliens at the time because of uh, because I want
Speaker 2: to spiel. I think it was Close Encounters or something
Speaker 2: like that, and so his son said, you have to
Speaker 2: have an alien on the show. He goes, okay, So
Speaker 2: they had Rob Williams come in and Robin Williams did
Speaker 2: a guest appearance and it was so popular and it
Speaker 2: was the biggest comic that they put more committed that.
Speaker 1: I did not know. Yeah, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lavernon Shirley, the big ragou. Yeah, big loved him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they they That's insane that there was two huge
Speaker 1: spinoffs from one show, which was a juggernaut itself. That's
Speaker 1: a and Joni loves yeah, Oh my god, Jody loves
Speaker 1: Shotcy from that too. Yeah.
Speaker 2: By the way, my one of my favorite jokes, Lisa
Speaker 2: Lampanelli had a great joke. She's like, what was that
Speaker 2: sitcom where these kids were in high school? It's like Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: They hang out with the guy in a cool leather
Speaker 2: jacket and it's just all white people, just all whites
Speaker 2: and there was not one black person on that show.
Speaker 1: What was that called?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Happy Days?
Speaker 2: So ridiculous. But I will tell you my favorite sitcom
Speaker 2: when I was a kid. Uhf remember you'd have to
Speaker 2: you'd have your your normal three uhf fifty three in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: What's happening? What's happening? We wei?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that's rerun with rerun Dwayne Wayne Wayne
Speaker 2: Wayne and then Rudge and they went to to uh
Speaker 2: surely was there was their waitress. I watched What's Happened
Speaker 2: all the time. I remember the Doobie Brothers. Do you
Speaker 2: remember they were on this? I don't remember that, and
Speaker 2: they and then uh I think it was rerun that
Speaker 2: went and like recorded them and bootlegged it, and the
Speaker 2: Doobie Brothers got into a big thing with them.
Speaker 1: That was that was.
Speaker 2: Good times, good times, good.
Speaker 1: I had the Jefferson's I loved growing up too, but
Speaker 1: I had watched My mom wouldn't let me watch Three's Company,
Speaker 1: all the sexual innu and stuff to watch that, so
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen that.
Speaker 2: And that Tripper, nobody better than that.
Speaker 1: And then Jack Tripper who was such an amazing, amazing
Speaker 1: physical comedian, John Rider, John Ridder, who I completely see
Speaker 1: and when I was older and able to watch him,
Speaker 1: and I was loved, so I can't even imagine if
Speaker 1: I was exposed to a younger age of what he
Speaker 1: was doing. But yeah, there was one show that I
Speaker 1: was like, I wasn't allowed to watch, but but then
Speaker 1: I was allowed to watch Bosom Buddies. Did you remember
Speaker 1: that one with.
Speaker 2: Close Comfort?
Speaker 1: Do you remember that one?
Speaker 2: Three Daughters?
Speaker 1: And oh, oh no, I'm thinking about the one with
Speaker 1: the robot daughter? What is that? Small wonder?
Speaker 2: Small one was great too. Silver Spoons was the ship
Speaker 2: Silver is the best train your house? And his dad
Speaker 2: ran a toy company. And Aaron Gray from Buck Rogers,
Speaker 2: who is the hottest woman on the face of the
Speaker 2: planet to this day, was do you do you remember her?
Speaker 1: No, not as much as you do. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: my I had.
Speaker 2: Two crushes when I was a kid, it was well
Speaker 2: Peg Bunny was more like high school. But when I
Speaker 2: was a kid, I loved Aaron Gray from Buck Rogers,
Speaker 2: and then I followed her a Silver Spoons and then
Speaker 2: and then uh missus Huckstaball. I had a big crush
Speaker 2: on miss Huxtable.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: For Alicia, I thought, like when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: I was like, God, she she's like so hot.
Speaker 1: I will say she was probably one of the best
Speaker 1: TV moms. She was out there for sure.
Speaker 2: And you know, it was a great TV dad. You
Speaker 2: can't say his name anymore though, let me you say
Speaker 2: his name, yeah, because the TV dad, the fictional character. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, he was America's dad for how many years?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say probably as we were when we
Speaker 1: were coming up here. That was a show for us.
Speaker 1: But another big TV The biggest TV dad for me
Speaker 1: was probably The Wonder Years, Dan Laura Dan Lauria, Right,
Speaker 1: he was like such a worker for his family kind
Speaker 1: of you know, they feared him in the right amount
Speaker 1: of way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he did great.
Speaker 1: And you've befriended Dan right through your show.
Speaker 2: Became my TV dad, which is so odd to like
Speaker 2: think if you would have told me that TV dad
Speaker 2: one day is going to be your TV dad.
Speaker 1: There's no way crazy. He could not be.
Speaker 2: More nice than you know, just the nicest guy. I
Speaker 2: think you guys met him because you guys came.
Speaker 1: To also a dyl dad. Laurie could get it. But
Speaker 1: I will say like he was like super we've been
Speaker 1: for a little bit, but super nice. But on he
Speaker 1: just exudes dad vibes. Yeah, he was great.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: It was a forgettle you know who also was like
Speaker 1: kind of trying to be kind of made that cusple
Speaker 1: like you had that Dan Laurier character. It was that
Speaker 1: kind of dad. But then when you go across and
Speaker 1: you remember like Alan Thick and growing pains, he started
Speaker 1: to become like the try to be like the cool dad.
Speaker 1: Like that was one of the first dads I remember
Speaker 1: being like, he's not acting very dad. You know, he
Speaker 1: was like trying to be cool. He was cool for sure,
Speaker 1: but he was like cool with his kids in a
Speaker 1: different way. Like the between him, you know it was
Speaker 1: and his kids was a little little you know, different
Speaker 1: hope improvement.
Speaker 2: Tim Allen was a great dad.
Speaker 1: Best so that he was a great dad for sure,
Speaker 1: for sure. You know, I loved. I loved that show.
Speaker 2: That showing great you know, perfect Strangers.
Speaker 1: You weren't a dad on TV. I'm sorry you weren't
Speaker 1: a dad on TV, Sullivan Sudden, I.
Speaker 2: Wasn't a dad on TV. I got offered a show
Speaker 2: that was on uh Disney even f Flicks and my
Speaker 2: my my wife would have been Tiffany Ambertheesan. And my
Speaker 2: manager said, you can't do this because you're not paying
Speaker 2: your rate. I was like, well, I'm not doing it
Speaker 2: because and I was like, wait, what hold on, like
Speaker 2: Tiffany Ambertheesian, I get to be like married to her,
Speaker 2: I'll pay them. Yeah, but.
Speaker 1: Hercle. Yeah, that's one of my favorite sitcoms of all time.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Family Matters.
Speaker 2: I I've it's on HBO Max where I should say Max,
Speaker 2: and I got my kids watching it now.
Speaker 1: And we we've heard the fan, You've heard the fantom,
Speaker 1: you've heard the fan there about how you know Carl
Speaker 1: that that happens after retired after because he talks about
Speaker 1: an incident that he had. Is that funny? I retired?
Speaker 2: But nobody? I think? Like that's what I miss about
Speaker 2: Like the classic sitcom there were so many great physical
Speaker 2: tier to your point, like John Ritter was a great
Speaker 2: physical actor. Julia White. Julia White, I mean he's got
Speaker 2: to be in the top five the greatest physical actors
Speaker 2: on a sitcom ever.
Speaker 1: And at a young age too.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, those two, uh Balki and cousin Larry brought
Speaker 2: some pinchot. But those guys, they that that ABC block
Speaker 2: what was the Friday night thing? I forget what they
Speaker 2: called it, but man, those I loved stay at home
Speaker 2: watching this.
Speaker 1: Did you ever see the blooper or outtake or the
Speaker 1: end credit scene of whatever it was, the Family Matters
Speaker 1: where it comes over the fresh for instance, Yes, that
Speaker 1: was unreal. That was they could do stuff like that
Speaker 1: was super cool. So they just did they do. They
Speaker 1: don't do crossovers as much as you would like anymore.
Speaker 1: But I just saw that Abbot elementary and it's always
Speaker 1: stunning in Philadelphia because they're both said in Philadelphia, which
Speaker 1: is so weird because they're like such different vibes. But
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool that they're doing stuff like that. I
Speaker 1: wish there was so much more of that.
Speaker 2: It's a shame because TV is not communal anymore.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: We all used to gather around the fireplace and there
Speaker 2: were only so many shows, and now there's a multitude
Speaker 2: of so many it's too much and so you could.
Speaker 1: Never be hard to do.
Speaker 2: That's a bummer, Yeah, because I really I don't know
Speaker 2: even like we're saying it now, like we I know
Speaker 2: the theme songs.
Speaker 1: It's like I remember specific episodes and core memory stuff, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but to have that, but not these kids these.
Speaker 2: Days now streaming what are they watching?
Speaker 1: TikTok stupid tiktoks, Squirrell with Dole YouTube, mister beast beast,
Speaker 1: misters yeah, stupid, send your beast is that name, mister
Speaker 1: be Yeah, well, you know what, We're here for them
Speaker 1: and now they can listen to podcasts.
Speaker 2: What what what?
Speaker 1: What is your favorite childhood sitcom of all time? Before
Speaker 1: we move on, I mean I remember watching most of
Speaker 1: The Golden Girls. I love The gold Boy Girls was great.
Speaker 2: That's another, I mean just a gem, Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 2: that's a great one. For sure, theme song fantastic.
Speaker 1: I mean Camras Free the one liners writing.
Speaker 2: It and then hearing like do you remember the first
Speaker 2: time you heard of stell Getty was younger than be Off,
Speaker 2: You're like.
Speaker 1: Wow, wa just blown unbelievable. Yeah, that was amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: super sweet. I love that show. I think I that
Speaker 1: was one of the ones I remember watching a lot
Speaker 1: and laughing. But then as I grew up in entertainment,
Speaker 1: like realizing what a cool like like how well it
Speaker 1: was produced and sure you know, like the writing was
Speaker 1: so smart and the idea of the dynamic, like the
Speaker 1: just the idea of that show is so like such
Speaker 1: a cool idea. And then when we started touring as
Speaker 1: the Jokers, we used to finish the show with singing
Speaker 1: thank you for me and a friend with the crowd.
Speaker 1: I remember some of my most famous favorite memories was
Speaker 1: just sitting in these stadiums and like arenas and just
Speaker 1: having people sing along with it. I thought it was
Speaker 1: really cool. So Golden Girls for me, Baby, Golden Girls,
Speaker 1: how about you? Cheers? Cheers? Oh yeah, no words is
Speaker 1: my favorite.
Speaker 2: And and to think, like when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: I'm watching a show about a bunch of adults in
Speaker 2: a bar in like what do I have as a
Speaker 2: child to relate to?
Speaker 1: And it was just the dynamic of just all these misfits.
Speaker 2: Coming in to hang out and no one really has love,
Speaker 2: no one really has a solid relationship, and they just
Speaker 2: had each other and that camaraderie and the writing was fantastic,
Speaker 2: and the dynamic between Sam and Diana and then Sam
Speaker 2: and Christi Ali was just like, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: absolutely love that show.
Speaker 1: Did you ever see the string out of Norm's entrances? Oh? No, great,
Speaker 1: it's like a seventeen because he always had a line
Speaker 1: coming together. Nor how's it going? Let's still go? When
Speaker 1: you know? Like you say that like all them, there's
Speaker 1: like a seventeen minute clip from like his whole Oh wow.
Speaker 2: That's great. My favorite episode is where Sam gets locked
Speaker 2: out and he has to go to everybody's It's it's
Speaker 2: one of the only episodes that's not the bar. Wow,
Speaker 2: and he has to go to everybody's house. That's such
Speaker 2: a great idea and so you get to see a
Speaker 2: reflection of who everybody is.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine pitching that idea that had that writer
Speaker 1: had to be stoked such a great idea for that.
Speaker 2: Great, great, great idea. Yeah, and when uh, when Cliff
Speaker 2: was on uh, what's on Jeopardy? That's that's one of
Speaker 2: my favorite Do you remember that I was so good?
Speaker 2: But I mean I still look back on the fact
Speaker 2: that I got to work with Rob Long on Sullivan
Speaker 2: and Son and and over lunch breaks, I would always
Speaker 2: ask him, please tell me about like Cheers and what
Speaker 2: happened was what he like really like was he cool
Speaker 2: and stuff? And just hear in all those stories and
Speaker 2: I don't know even like there were times where when
Speaker 2: we were doing it, I was watching Cheers like on
Speaker 2: my own to be like, oh, I'm going to be
Speaker 2: inspired and stuff, and I saw like Rob recycling old
Speaker 2: jokes from the Sullivan and I was like, that's pretty cool. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty sweet. Okay, So what were
Speaker 2: the top three? Since this is two cool moms, this
Speaker 2: just came out, what were the top three TV moms
Speaker 2: of all time?
Speaker 1: Number three was the mom from the Partridge Family, which
Speaker 1: I don't know her name really. Number two was Claire Huxtable.
Speaker 1: Number one was Brady Missus.
Speaker 2: Brady was number one of all time.
Speaker 1: So that was that's what the internet says on that
Speaker 1: specific side. I don't know who was told for this.
Speaker 2: By the way, people sixteen up, like the Partridge Family,
Speaker 2: I killed.
Speaker 1: That's when moms were like mom, right, that was like
Speaker 1: back in the day. It was like you're yeah, they're
Speaker 1: in the kitchen making the Applepolaus and bullshit, you know,
Speaker 1: not the Modern Family mom. You know she's out there
Speaker 1: like you know, yeah, I mean Family.
Speaker 2: Is It's like, could you could you even name five
Speaker 2: TV moms for the last ten years?
Speaker 1: I would not animated, No, I mean I would have
Speaker 1: no idea I could name, you know, the moms from
Speaker 1: Modern Family, the two moms, right, you have Claire Family,
Speaker 1: So that's one of the shows that has a mom.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't think I could name many moms besides
Speaker 1: the mom from Breaking Bed. Yeah, right, and then your
Speaker 1: mom burn. All right, let's get it. Let's get into
Speaker 1: the questions. Thank you for submitting the two cool moms,
Speaker 1: and we got some uh we're gonna give some advice
Speaker 1: here and help people. Let's do it, all right.
Speaker 3: This one is pretty relevant, but we were just talking
Speaker 3: about So Mary.
Speaker 1: Says, I married this guy. He has three children, and
Speaker 1: I anything, we have a housekeeper.
Speaker 2: What do we do?
Speaker 4: How do I know if I'm being a good enough
Speaker 4: mom to my daughters. They're my entire world and I
Speaker 4: can't afford to stay home with them, and I feel
Speaker 4: so guilty by going to work every day and taking
Speaker 4: them to daycare. I keep questioning if I made the
Speaker 4: wrong life choices that wound me up not being able
Speaker 4: to stay at home with them. There's one year old,
Speaker 4: there's a one year old and almost three year old.
Speaker 2: I think the answer isn't going to be now. I
Speaker 2: think the answer is going to be eighteen, nineteen, or
Speaker 2: twenty years from now, because all that work, all the
Speaker 2: sacrifice you're doing now, they're too young to acknowledge it,
Speaker 2: but there will come a time when.
Speaker 1: They'll recognize your sacrifice.
Speaker 2: It hits them and they go, oh my god, she's
Speaker 2: breaking her back so we can have school supplies, so
Speaker 2: we could go to summer camp, so we could do
Speaker 2: all these things. So I wouldn't put that onus on
Speaker 2: you now, Yeah, I would just keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 2: And the fact that she's even thinking about this tells
Speaker 2: you everything.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's she's thinking. I mean, we're two traveling dads.
Speaker 1: It's put some time away from our kids, I think,
Speaker 1: And you know, it's all we talk about, like focus
Speaker 1: and balance all the time. I just think is as
Speaker 1: long as you're trying to spend his best time you
Speaker 1: can with them while you're with them, that's important. You know,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be Look, look at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you got to make money. You got to pay the bills.
Speaker 1: If you don't do that, what are you doing? You fine,
Speaker 1: you're senting with your kids, but you'll be on the street,
Speaker 1: right yeah, begging for money. Like what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: You have to do what you have to do here
Speaker 1: to to get through. So I would say, try to
Speaker 1: find a happy balance that you could go And I
Speaker 1: realized this later, unfortunately a little bit too late, but
Speaker 1: my relationships with it was if you you could get
Speaker 1: a lot out of a little It doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be these grand gesture where youre always abah. But if
Speaker 1: you're making a moment each day, or a couple of
Speaker 1: moments each day where that you feel fulfilled that you
Speaker 1: had a mommy moment or whatever you get an unsolicited
Speaker 1: I love you mom hug, or a smile or tickle
Speaker 1: fight or whatever. Those kind of things could fuel what
Speaker 1: you need. They don't have to do these big grain
Speaker 1: gestures and you still could go to work. I mean
Speaker 1: that five minutes that you're making memories started, you know,
Speaker 1: recapping with my son when we went to bed, what
Speaker 1: was your favorite part of the day You know stuff
Speaker 1: like that, and they would say these little silly things
Speaker 1: that took a moment right and it makes their whole day.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: She's the epitome of action. Speak louder than words, like
Speaker 2: you're doing all this work. They're going they they they
Speaker 2: they will get to a point where they're going to know.
Speaker 2: And right now, when you're a kid, it's like, I
Speaker 2: mean one, they don't.
Speaker 1: Remember shit, Yeah, remember I remember nothing. They don't barely
Speaker 1: know who you are. Stupid. They're fucking throwing up on themselves,
Speaker 1: punching themselves in their face, shitting their own pants. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you think they care about you.
Speaker 2: There's a reason. There's the reason you have to tell
Speaker 2: them don't get in a vandwidth strangers. Yeah, yeah, because
Speaker 2: they're so stupid.
Speaker 1: When you stop telling the kids to put that in
Speaker 1: their mouth, that's when you stop being like, okay, we're
Speaker 1: making memories. You have to stop telling kids and not
Speaker 1: put something in their mouth. That's when you that's the
Speaker 1: that's the litmus test. It's like, okay, now I got
Speaker 1: to start putting the time in. Yeah, you're raising little animals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're all there, a little beasts, that's what they are.
Speaker 1: What they're doing, you know what I mean. But I
Speaker 1: remember that I do no, I do think that there
Speaker 1: is a time to try to bank up and prepare
Speaker 1: for the future, and it is now where you can
Speaker 1: just like you know it'll be you just start getting it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you think it's hard now. I mean, my
Speaker 1: son cries when I have to go out of town.
Speaker 1: Don't go, Dad. I'm like, oh, it's the worst, you know,
Speaker 1: because they realize that you're going and leaving right now.
Speaker 1: You're lucky you could sneak out in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night and go smoke a cigarette and know what
Speaker 1: it could tell you what to do. She's out there
Speaker 1: on the streets being able to get a puff puff.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying, this is what I'm saying. You're
Speaker 1: gonna miss these days. You're gonna miss them, what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say you're putting a lot of it on
Speaker 1: yourself right now. But remember big picture, you're doing what
Speaker 1: you got to do for your children. It's not like
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, I want to be working this much.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, you're one hundred percent doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: Especially, you made a great point. If you're thinking about that,
Speaker 1: you're a good mom, Like some moms are just operating
Speaker 1: and being like they don't even care about missing their children,
Speaker 1: you know, like that that's a good indicator that you're
Speaker 1: a good mother and.
Speaker 2: That's what makes us so cool mom moms.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Peter says, I'm getting married in October in Spain.
Speaker 4: My partner is Spanish, and I promise her family I
Speaker 4: would learn Spanish by the time of the wedding. So, mommis,
Speaker 4: what are some good learning techniques I have until October?
Speaker 1: We did this question? Right? You did? No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3: Why would you do that?
Speaker 1: Omiga. What I'm saying is no mean I would say,
Speaker 1: I do not know anything about learning a second language.
Speaker 2: But you are six months at the home depot. Get
Speaker 2: up pretty pretty quickly, pretty quickly?
Speaker 1: Do you speak Korean?
Speaker 2: I I did a little bit. Look, there's all these
Speaker 2: programs these days, by the way, like Rosetta Stone and all.
Speaker 1: The Onlamuthla, Do a Lingo? Do a Lingo? Do a
Speaker 1: Lingo is the new one. It's an app, right and
Speaker 1: teach you. Yeah, you could do a nap so get on,
Speaker 1: do a lingo. This could have been a Google search.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you took the time to write
Speaker 1: into us to English speaking only people, this is a
Speaker 1: I know, but you don't speak it. Yeah, yeah, why
Speaker 1: I even ask me? Very true? You want to learn Spanish?
Speaker 1: It's like here, it goes a lot.
Speaker 2: I already did it. I already did the most racist
Speaker 2: joke I could come up with. Work at home.
Speaker 1: People, you could do. You could do better than that,
Speaker 1: can I? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, well learn it and then we're gonna kick you
Speaker 2: out of this country.
Speaker 1: No, I would say, you know, don't be a fool.
Speaker 1: Google it. I don't know this. Google translate also, by
Speaker 1: the way, so what are you gonna do? Just write
Speaker 1: your vows, put it into Google Translate and you'll be
Speaker 1: a hero. By the way, why would you even promise
Speaker 1: that to the family. Crazy, that's your setting up a disaster.
Speaker 2: How about I'll take care of your daughter the rest
Speaker 2: of my life. We're done.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take care of your daughter the rest of
Speaker 1: my life and pick up language so I can.
Speaker 2: I can speak fluently for three days.
Speaker 1: Fuck you know a bitch, real real, silly face. You
Speaker 1: already got it.
Speaker 2: Like, why even why dive in?
Speaker 1: Why set up yourself a failure? Yeah? You put a
Speaker 1: ring on it. It's over. You did it? Endgame?
Speaker 2: Why negotiate to uh.
Speaker 1: Put a pinata up and you'll be fine at the wedding, right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to be a real spandard stab somebody
Speaker 2: like there it is.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for it. There we go, There you go.
Speaker 1: We'll cut that weddy good stabbing, We'll cut the pinata
Speaker 1: and that one. Uh, good luck my friend? Or should
Speaker 1: I say when a loke? Is that? How you say
Speaker 1: good luck? When? Why don't you say goodbye again? Audios? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But how do you say? Why not? For its Italian?
Speaker 1: How do you say good luck? Go to Google trends.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Go to Google trays.
Speaker 1: I say good luck when I swear? There you go,
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 2: Okay, how do you say dumb?
Speaker 1: Dumb's Spanish? Idiot?
Speaker 3: Idiota?
Speaker 2: Idiota idiota. I would never promise anybody that's an idiot.
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm gonna do. Here we go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna learn your language. Why, I'll tell you something.
Speaker 1: I guarantee they speaking for the next episode. I'm going
Speaker 1: to learn Korean and I'm gonna do the whole episode
Speaker 1: with me speaking Korean. But that's that's as plausible as
Speaker 1: that guy right there. That's as plausible as the promise
Speaker 1: that fellow me, old lady.
Speaker 2: I would love to take. I'm sure there's got to
Speaker 2: be an AI program where you could take an episode,
Speaker 2: just put it in and then have them w speaking
Speaker 2: in Korean. We should we should put that out and
Speaker 2: then subtitle and it'd be so fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure that one of our fans could do it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody could do that. Give us a clip,
Speaker 1: Give us a clip, give us a cliplip, speaking dubbed
Speaker 1: in Korean, but both of us like in a female
Speaker 1: Korean accent. Okay, you just repeating to specials. What is
Speaker 1: what we're saying is that I'll take the beef.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's their next question?
Speaker 1: Let's go to the next one.
Speaker 4: Chrissy asks, I just moved to Italy. How do you
Speaker 4: deal with being away from family when they can't afford
Speaker 4: to come visit?
Speaker 1: That was racist, you pointed to me when they said
Speaker 1: I just moved to Italy. I live in America. How
Speaker 1: do I what do I do with my family when
Speaker 1: they live so far away.
Speaker 3: When when they can't afford to come visit, gotcha.
Speaker 1: You got rid of them, so you would in the game.
Speaker 1: What you about, Yeah, you want to see them? I
Speaker 1: mean you got FaceTime. Now these questions, I mean these
Speaker 1: people that FaceTime FaceTime, they got speed dot com. You
Speaker 1: got your bundle it you get a rental car for
Speaker 1: cheap bundle, get a hotel.
Speaker 2: Fly when nobody else is fly like on September eleventh. Yea,
Speaker 2: that's when you have nobody's flying in September eleventh, the
Speaker 2: rates go down.
Speaker 1: Fly out there, Yeah, there you go. These are all
Speaker 1: great suggestions. I would say for your family. There's a
Speaker 1: big adjustment when you move away from your family. So
Speaker 1: I moved to California, you know big, you know, I
Speaker 1: just don't live in my family anymore. So when I moved,
Speaker 1: did you have to live away from your family? Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you moved to New York, but you were in
Speaker 1: your twenties, right, Yeah, but my folks were here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I lived in California, going to school on that stuff,
Speaker 1: So school I wouldn't count college. Yeah, probably, I would
Speaker 1: say that. But I do think when you live away,
Speaker 1: you just have to get used to your new normal. Love.
Speaker 1: That's you don't live with them anymore. And that's the
Speaker 1: hardest part. Once you get used to it, and then
Speaker 1: it makes it time together even better I think one
Speaker 1: hundred percent.
Speaker 2: But it's also part of the norm. It's like you
Speaker 2: are an adult now and you're there for either love
Speaker 2: or occupation or love and occupation, and they understand you're
Speaker 2: you're doing what you need to do in terms of
Speaker 2: your life. So I'm sure that they're supportive. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, like, of course you want to communicate FaceTime,
Speaker 2: like you said, videos, texting, it's so much more accessible
Speaker 2: than before. But yeah, like when you do have those opportunities,
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. And the great thing is like you
Speaker 2: get to be an m bassador on behalf of a
Speaker 2: country that you know, maybe they're not too privy, or
Speaker 2: they're gonna want to come visit.
Speaker 1: You're in Italy, so maybe people are gonna want to
Speaker 1: come and see you. You know. It's funny because most
Speaker 1: I wonder what the statistics are people that move away
Speaker 1: from their family, because in the US it's quite the
Speaker 1: norm where the kids won't live in the same state
Speaker 1: or same place as their parents. Becoming right, and I
Speaker 1: think like if you go to South American countries or uh,
Speaker 1: you know European or even African countries do do people
Speaker 1: stay with they'll live in the same house. I think that, Well,
Speaker 1: that's not what I was trying to say, Well, tend
Speaker 1: to a bedroom. No, that's just frugal talk about bundling.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about, like, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's as you know, normal in other societies to move
Speaker 1: away from your your family. You know, your parents are
Speaker 1: normally with until death, you know. I think I know
Speaker 1: that's for sure, Like my my wife's Lebanese and a
Speaker 1: lot of our family over there, like they've all lived
Speaker 1: together and stuff like that. Yeah, so I don't I
Speaker 1: think that's kind of an American issue, or maybe in
Speaker 1: Europeans do, but I think that's the minority of the
Speaker 1: world I think does that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look again, another example of how like spoiled we are
Speaker 2: as a country that you have so much accessibility to
Speaker 2: so many opportunities and as much as people some people
Speaker 2: can knock this country. It's like there are a plethora
Speaker 2: of you know, tech West Coast, yeah, finance, East coast,
Speaker 2: you know, agriculture, I mean everything else. There's so much
Speaker 2: and this country is so all encompassing. Even in Florida.
Speaker 2: You look at there's people that make six figures cleaning
Speaker 2: pools because many, so many people up pools, and it's
Speaker 2: like it's a real industry. So I just think, to
Speaker 2: your point, it's like there's ample opportunity as opposed to.
Speaker 1: You know, some countries, like for example, like in Korea.
Speaker 2: My like to your point with Bessie, like my mom's
Speaker 2: family would all have lived together, or they would all
Speaker 2: have together in New Jersey and then slowly branch out
Speaker 2: once you get to America.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, yeah, like you you die with your parents,
Speaker 1: you die with your family, like everybody's in together in
Speaker 1: the same you know, same village, same city, same whatever.
Speaker 1: It's Yeah, I think it's a very because like in America, right,
Speaker 1: you think about it, You're like, oh, figure out when
Speaker 1: I get there. I want to move to Boston. I
Speaker 1: heard Boson is a great place to live. What are
Speaker 1: you gonna do. I don't know if I'll apply for
Speaker 1: a job when I get there, end up as a waiter,
Speaker 1: but you know, you figure out those kinds of things.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much that opportunity, you know, I
Speaker 1: could be very small minded. I'm not sure either, but
Speaker 1: I just do think that families stay together in other
Speaker 1: countries more than here in America? Yeah, I don't disagree. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and while they're there, you're in Italy gets some raviolis.
Speaker 1: They're delicious. We have time for one more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. Taylor asks, it's very short.
Speaker 1: Yay or nay.
Speaker 3: On work relationships, Nay, I go yay yay.
Speaker 1: May and best who worked together? I married her and
Speaker 1: had children.
Speaker 2: Okay, it depends what where'd you guys work though, giggle
Speaker 2: the baby store.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that doesn't matter. Are we saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: in retail? I worked in retail. I would say retail
Speaker 1: and restaurant relationships working, and those things happened very, very easily.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's there's like a social dynamic you're working
Speaker 2: in a restaurant as.
Speaker 1: Opposed to corporate America.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're working a corporate job, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of tough. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, having to be like you're gonna lose your job,
Speaker 2: and then there's that stigma that follows you and then
Speaker 2: you're gonna go to another job and you're gonna ask
Speaker 2: for reference. It's like, well, what did you get fired?
Speaker 2: Because I was couldn't get my take my pants at
Speaker 2: Meryl Lynch. It's like, yeah, you're Meryl and Lynch.
Speaker 1: I was Sax and Fifth Avenue. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know I I do think by interestry. But look,
Speaker 1: love is love right if you find it that, if
Speaker 1: your heart's getting spoken.
Speaker 2: To wherever you're at, you can't let your dating.
Speaker 1: That's the different. Dating is different. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I always thought like I always hated when comics hooked
Speaker 2: up with uh, I just say hate, but I was
Speaker 2: frowned upon comics hooking up with like weight staff.
Speaker 1: When you're on the road, it's like.
Speaker 2: Guy, why there's two hundred strangers out there you could
Speaker 2: meet and talk to, and these girls are getting hit
Speaker 2: on every week and you're gonna make it uncomfortable and
Speaker 2: the manager's going to hear about it, and it's gonna
Speaker 2: be an awful situation. Just like I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't you know, that's my mentality. So if you're at work, like,
Speaker 2: unless it's like undeniable, I guess for sure, it's like,
Speaker 2: why why would you even tempt faith?
Speaker 1: I think when you're yeah, I do think the best
Speaker 1: part about it is to be kind of open too.
Speaker 1: I remember when the CEO of my company pulled me
Speaker 1: in to talk to her about me and Bessie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she like confronted me about it, and I was
Speaker 1: honest and said, yeah, we're dating. She was taking back
Speaker 1: a little but being like, oh you are, and I
Speaker 1: was like yeah. I was like we're like you yeah,
Speaker 1: we are. And it's like, oh, well, how does that work?
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, it's long distance. She was
Speaker 1: in California, I was in New York blah blah and
Speaker 1: uh and she was like, oh, okay, well, I said,
Speaker 1: I said, it's not a problem with I mean, she
Speaker 1: doesn't report to me, you know, you know whatever I said,
Speaker 1: but you know, if you have any questions about anything, fine,
Speaker 1: it's you know. And then it was just it was
Speaker 1: just an interesting thing to have to like report it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like there's all those kind
Speaker 1: of hr things about that, and I think that kind
Speaker 1: of that kind of stuff is just look, it's frowned upon.
Speaker 1: I think it used to be more frowned upon, but
Speaker 1: now there's all sorts of like as long as you
Speaker 1: like pronounce your love to the company, like as long
Speaker 1: as you come out and say it and whatever. If
Speaker 1: you're not doing its sneaky behind the closed doors kind
Speaker 1: of thing. I think it's way more. It's worse if
Speaker 1: you get found out, right, it's worse if you get
Speaker 1: found out instead of versus being like, hey you know
Speaker 1: where you started dating? Who do I need to talk
Speaker 1: to about this? You know what I mean? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's way worse if you get found out.
Speaker 2: But if you want to bang while you're working, just
Speaker 2: pizza delivery, pizza delivery, hundred ups, plumbers, plumber, yep, prison
Speaker 2: guard in the UK.
Speaker 1: Present that this is where all of it happens.
