Speaker 3: hard topped Mercedes convertible, and she used to go down
Speaker 3: to Atlantic City with her boyfriends and I would borrow
Speaker 3: her car for the weekend.
Speaker 1: We walk around New York. I remember very vividly a
Speaker 1: memory of my mother. She had never been through Times
Speaker 1: Square at night, and we were.
Speaker 3: Had dinner at Bellevite with the top down, and I
Speaker 3: took down the top and.
Speaker 1: We drove through.
Speaker 3: And then we were driving with the top down through
Speaker 3: Times Square and she's like looking up everything and she's like,
Speaker 3: this is so awesome. She was like, this is a
Speaker 3: guy I've never done this. I'm so happy that we're
Speaker 3: doing this. And she's like only cute, like Tyaria. And
Speaker 3: then she turns left it as a homeless man pissing.
Speaker 3: She goes and this fucking guy's got to ruin everything.
Speaker 1: It's great. She was just taking it all in and
Speaker 1: was like, oh, She's like, oh, it was a movie.
Speaker 1: It was so fun.
Speaker 2: That's a Gatto memory.
Speaker 1: That's a great memory. Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe she had never been through like in
Speaker 3: Times Square, like at night.
Speaker 1: But then like she never really.
Speaker 3: Went into the city, especially not one of the convertible
Speaker 3: and the top down kind of thing, you know.
Speaker 2: So it was kind of it's also Staten Island. It's
Speaker 2: like you're almost like a world away. It's like, why
Speaker 2: would you leave when you have everything right?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, and it's what she's not going to go
Speaker 1: into the city by so she does no, I member
Speaker 1: she didn't.
Speaker 3: We took her to uh it was her sixtieth birthday,
Speaker 3: I think, and me and my sisters wanted to take
Speaker 3: her somewhere. So we're taking her somewhere in the city.
Speaker 3: And I was and she was like, uh, I'm like,
Speaker 3: come on, I'm going on the subway. She goes what
Speaker 3: and she's like all right, stay close, and she was
Speaker 3: like hugged me, like she was holding onto me. It
Speaker 3: was so funny to take her. I'm like, mom, she's
Speaker 3: just a subway and she's like no.
Speaker 1: She was like scared to death. She's a New Yorker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's like she's some badass New Yorker,
Speaker 3: but something about the subway, she just she's like, I
Speaker 3: don't trust it.
Speaker 2: You're on the ground, like that's how a subway works. Well,
Speaker 2: my father used to come up to New York City
Speaker 2: all the time because he would you know, he had
Speaker 2: he in a fish store. She'd have to come up
Speaker 2: into the h whatever the market, yeah, the market, and
Speaker 2: he would buy the fish in the morning. Every day
Speaker 2: he'd leave before in the morning to be back at
Speaker 2: the fish store and railway in New Jersey. And on
Speaker 2: occasion I'd come up with him. And every time I
Speaker 2: come to New York, at least the first few times,
Speaker 2: like especially when I was like first moved here, I
Speaker 2: just always associate New York with the smell of cooking
Speaker 2: pretzels because back in like the eighties, they were baking the.
Speaker 1: And so I would smell it.
Speaker 2: It was almost to the point where it's like burning
Speaker 2: the pretzels, but it just smelled so good.
Speaker 1: I was, oh God, I got a pretzel.
Speaker 2: And you know, you're a kid, that.
Speaker 3: That is ingrained in the nostrils of kids who grew
Speaker 3: up at our time in New York like Radio City,
Speaker 3: walking by, and the Peanuts and the and the pretzel stands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like they were also like the heaters of the street.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that for sure is is definitely a smell
Speaker 3: of Manhattan.
Speaker 2: But that was before it was dogs, pretzels, peanuts, and
Speaker 2: now it's all like kebabs. Yeah, yeah, totally different, but
Speaker 2: still they still pretzels.
Speaker 1: But different smells. Yeah, it's it's not it's not as
Speaker 1: good as smell. It's not like clean and American. No,
Speaker 1: it's not. You know what. That's what we were talking
Speaker 1: about earlier about this wall building. We were saying, remember
Speaker 1: when we were saying offline, uh.
Speaker 2: You gotta build a wall build it came our pretzels safe.
Speaker 3: We were like, it's because it's too many different smells,
Speaker 3: not even about the food, right, like it all mixes together.
Speaker 3: I was like, you just used to be pretzels, peanuts,
Speaker 3: hot dog, that's what you would smell.
Speaker 1: But now there's so many different food trucks.
Speaker 3: There's pizza trucks and whatever, you know, sushi, right, there's
Speaker 3: all this stuff. It's crazy and like this you walk
Speaker 3: down the street, it's like restaurants on the street.
Speaker 2: It's great to have the selection, but I do miss
Speaker 2: the fact that it was just those the greatest hits. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what it was, the greatest hits back in the day.
Speaker 1: That's it it's the VIP menu.
Speaker 2: But there's nothing better than a tasty freeze.
Speaker 1: The soft served those trucks. Yeah, I hate them.
Speaker 2: You hate ice cream, that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what, the food truck really came
Speaker 3: on like a motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, right out of nowhere. Ready back that up
Speaker 1: here we go. Food trucks came out of nowhere. Right,
Speaker 1: they were all the talking lot. They're like, ready go,
Speaker 1: people selling shit, throw money at you. Remember that, I
Speaker 1: don't know where you're buying food. It's a globle restaurant.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yes, well, who's thowing the first food truck?
Speaker 1: Do we know that?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: Who thought? What was the first food truck? Like straight
Speaker 1: up food truck?
Speaker 2: Because like I would, Roy Choi is the one that
Speaker 2: reinvigorated it out of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Remember with course Cho well kogie Yeah.
Speaker 2: That was his his thing, and then that started the
Speaker 2: whole food truck scene in a in Los Angeles. And
Speaker 2: then roy U Vavro did Chef based off of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was I mean, that was that's based
Speaker 3: off about what he got chiggen go.
Speaker 5: I just immediately want to do this. Nineteen thirty six
Speaker 5: was the first food truck and it was called the
Speaker 5: Wienermobile and it was for Oscar Meyer.
Speaker 1: Meyers started it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was the first food truck, not Roy Choi.
Speaker 2: Oscar I said reinvigorated.
Speaker 3: Reinvigorated because it was he got his Wiener going the leader.
Speaker 5: But they looked like it looks like a like a
Speaker 5: covered wagon from like the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think that they would take ownership of that
Speaker 2: and be like we should do that and set those
Speaker 2: up in major markets.
Speaker 3: I would I would like to Oscar market for the
Speaker 3: first food truck, the Oscar Meyer.

Speaker 3: just waiting for him to like and he kicked it
Speaker 3: so hard that he hit me and I went back
Speaker 3: into the goal with like with it, like he got
Speaker 3: really close, like didn't well, he had like a full
Speaker 3: like second to wind up. Nobody was near him, the
Speaker 3: defense fell apart, he was by himself, and he did
Speaker 3: like a full stop would like kick it yeah, like
Speaker 3: and it hit me so hard that I fell back
Speaker 3: into the goal and the ball went right.
Speaker 1: In with me.
Speaker 3: Your team's just like he got it joke, like he stopped,
Speaker 3: I stopped and it hit Yeah, but I didn't do anything.
Speaker 1: Yes, it started with me. Yeah, I remember that game.
Speaker 1: That was rough. I stopped being goalie after that game.
Speaker 2: I was like, what was the last time you did?
Speaker 1: You can't not you can't well should be doing.
Speaker 2: When is the last time you've done anything athletic?
Speaker 1: Uh, I was swimming. That doesn't really okay, that doesn't count.
Speaker 2: Bowling does not count.
Speaker 3: Okay, So something athletic like athletics like you mean I
Speaker 3: got a run on.
Speaker 1: Let's see.
Speaker 2: I think like bowling is a skill for sure.
Speaker 1: Oh, I just did a charity softball game.
Speaker 3: I did a charity softball game and I and I
Speaker 3: made a hit and ran the first place.
Speaker 2: Did you realize?
Speaker 1: Yes it did.
Speaker 3: I got tagged out by Paul Rudd, but I still
Speaker 3: made it. I made it to the base. But I
Speaker 3: will say the first out of the game. So you
Speaker 3: know how all these charity games are. There's like nine
Speaker 3: hundred people. It's in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: It's a big slick which was a great weekend.
Speaker 3: And we it benefits the Children's Mercy Hospital out there
Speaker 3: and helps all these kids with cancer. So they have
Speaker 3: a big event all weekend and one of the things
Speaker 3: is a charity softball game. So I was talking to
Speaker 3: Eric stone Street and Paul and I was like, do

Speaker 3: Like everybody stands out there and you just go. I
Speaker 3: was like all right, So so we stand out there.
Speaker 3: So I end up being like in between who's what's
Speaker 3: between third and second?
Speaker 1: Shortstop? So I'm like I'm like short stop adjacent, I'm
Speaker 1: like closer to second. There's like three people by us.
Speaker 1: The first hit in the game, I forget who it is.
Speaker 3: Somebody hits it and we're playing the and it comes
Speaker 3: right to me and I'm like, all right, and I stop.
Speaker 1: I get it and I'm like, now I have to
Speaker 1: throw to first base. Do you know how far that is?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, all right, and I throw it
Speaker 1: like as hard as I can. And it takes four
Speaker 1: bounces to get to the first base and I still
Speaker 1: got the out. Yeah, but it was still like four
Speaker 1: I was like, how do people throw that fall? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was we were none of us were really athletes.
Speaker 1: It was like a charity game.
Speaker 2: Sure, I forget who it was.
Speaker 1: So I threw and I like through my arm. I
Speaker 1: threw my arm out. I was like, that's it. I'm done.
Speaker 3: And then I when it was our turn to go up,
Speaker 3: I batted first. They had me up first, and I
Speaker 3: was like, does a mistake. I was like, I can't
Speaker 3: go for I'm making a fool myself. I can't go first. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I went and I just sat there and I
Speaker 3: I swung and missed hard on the first one, and
Speaker 3: then the second one I connected really well and I
Speaker 3: got thrown out though, But it.
Speaker 1: Was h it was it was it was fun. That
Speaker 1: was I ran full speed. That's the last time I
Speaker 1: ran full speed.
Speaker 2: Last time I did this, I did a charity for
Speaker 2: We're in the Jersey for Troy Palamalo where he did
Speaker 2: the Resilience Neighborhood where he you know, it's under served
Speaker 2: communities and Pittsburgh and stuff. So we're playing flag football.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, this is gonna be fun. Like it's
Speaker 2: flag football. It's me and Billy Gardell and you know
Speaker 2: some folks, folks from Pittsburgh, and I'm thinking, Okay, this
Speaker 2: would be cool. I show up. Ben Roethlisberger is playing quarterback,
Speaker 2: James Harrison, h Troy Polamalu, heinz ward Uh, Mike Tomlin's coaching,
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, what am I doing here? Like and
Speaker 2: I are looking at each other like this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So it's basically a real football game.
Speaker 2: It's a real and these guys are all competitors and
Speaker 2: they want to compete. They're they're professional anthetes for a
Speaker 2: reason that when I win, So I remember I go
Speaker 2: out the first thing Byron Leftwood Shoo's a great quarterback,
Speaker 2: is on quarterback and I'm on offense and James Harrison.
Speaker 1: Do you know who James Harrison is. He's a guitar
Speaker 1: player right for the Beatles. Okay, someone makes sense to this.
Speaker 2: We don't know each other. He is maybe five ten
Speaker 2: and he is like three hundred and like twenty eight
Speaker 2: pounds of just pure muscle.
Speaker 1: Amazing.
Speaker 2: I mean he is just a brickshit house. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean unbelievable. And he's mean and he lines up against Byron.
Speaker 2: This is a charity flag football game. He was I'm playing,
Speaker 2: I ain't playing. I'm not here to play and left,
Speaker 2: which is like, yo, dude, just calm down. I have
Speaker 2: a PICTUREL send a jiggy will put it up here.
Speaker 2: He's telling him he's not playing, He's going to hurt him.
Speaker 2: And I'm literally going like this like praying to God.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, this is the first play
Speaker 2: of the game. So I sprint down, I make a route.
Speaker 2: He throws the ball to me, and as I go
Speaker 2: to catch it, I know I gotta like pivot down,
Speaker 2: so I'm sliding down to catch it, and as I do,
Speaker 2: I see Troy Polamalu running towards me, and I just
Speaker 2: let go of everything and I just slide and the
Speaker 2: ball hits me in the chest. And I played one
Speaker 2: route and I was like, I'm done. I did it.
Speaker 2: I'm out of here. I don't need to tear an
Speaker 2: acl playing with the I mean, it was unbelievable to
Speaker 2: be like against professional but also to see like just
Speaker 2: we're not the same species. Their enormous human beings.
Speaker 1: The network hades play for something.
Speaker 3: It was me Q and we were on the same
Speaker 3: We were on Boomer Osiasin's team. It was Boomer Science
Speaker 3: team and somebody else's and it was a softball game and.
Speaker 1: Q is playing third.
Speaker 2: I think it was who's the most athletic of all
Speaker 2: you guys? By the way, would would it be Q?
Speaker 1: Nor?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: Mar's pretty athletic. Yeah, Mar's probably in the best shape.
Speaker 3: Q's not bad either. Actually Sal played uh. Out of
Speaker 3: all of us, Sal played the most sport. He was
Speaker 3: a hockey player throughout.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: I think he didn't play in college. I think he
Speaker 3: was stopped in high school, but he was. He was
Speaker 3: a I think we were all equally okay, if an
Speaker 3: intramural we'd all be okay.
Speaker 1: It came down like a sports sport. I probably think
Speaker 1: it's between anybody, but.
Speaker 3: So we would, uh, we were playing, you know, we're
Speaker 3: playing the cherry softball game, and you know, somebody hits
Speaker 3: the ball and we're not paying attention. Everybody's talking to
Speaker 3: each other in the field. So Boomer is they hit
Speaker 3: the ball. Boomer's pitching, and it goes to Q and
Speaker 3: he thinks it's.
Speaker 1: A foul ball.
Speaker 3: So whatever, he just picked it up because he didn't
Speaker 3: realize it bounced in and then it rolled out. So
Speaker 3: he's like in right you know, like in between the
Speaker 3: third base and right fields. So he picks up and
Speaker 3: he's like, oh, and he just looks at it and
Speaker 3: he goes, he goes, let's throw it around the horn,
Speaker 3: and he throws it to the outfield, which basically that's
Speaker 3: not the horn, but it was fair and so you
Speaker 3: throw it to Murray who was in center field and
Speaker 3: mur and Murray guns it in to try to get
Speaker 3: them and the guy get he got it.
Speaker 1: It was Al Roker and you got like in the.
Speaker 2: He got it, like cannot get Al ro.
Speaker 3: Got it in the park home run because you threw
Speaker 3: it around the horn and Boomer what he's like yelled
Speaker 3: at him and it was so funny.
Speaker 1: We were like, oh my god. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not playing. I'm not playing this game, right.
Speaker 3: So I took the love off and I just started
Speaker 3: going into the crowd, taking selfies, cheering, making fun.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not gonna get yelled out. I don't
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing. It's so funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you compete, the thing, like when you get
Speaker 2: asked to do these like tournaments or sometimes like mixed
Speaker 2: with professional athletes and like you know, quote unquote celebrities
Speaker 2: whatever it is, entertainers, comedians, you don't realize. It's like no, no, no.
Speaker 2: They spent their whole life competing. That's what they do.
Speaker 2: And I remember I played in this Mario le Me
Speaker 2: fantasy camp one year and this one guy was kind
Speaker 2: of mouthing off a little bit. And Alex Kovalev, who
Speaker 2: is like one of the great hockey players in terms
Speaker 2: of just raw talent, incredible drummer, you'd love him. The
Speaker 2: pitter patter, Yeah, nobody hit a symbol like him. You
Speaker 2: could see he was just like he was listening to
Speaker 2: guy and he was watching me just go and you
Speaker 2: could just see a switch golf. He goes okay, And
Speaker 2: I mean this guy before everybody was just playing with
Speaker 2: each other. They take it down a notch, some guys
Speaker 2: like take it up a notch, and the people that
Speaker 2: take it up a notch gotta get got to get
Speaker 2: taught from the guys that take it down a notch,
Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna show you, and he just he he
Speaker 2: like did this move where he just poked it off
Speaker 2: him and then he dangled around him and he was
Speaker 2: baiting him and the guy's like, I'm gonna get it back,
Speaker 2: and he made him look like it. It was great.
Speaker 2: And then I was one time I went in the
Speaker 2: corner to get the puck and Mark Reki Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame hockey player for Boston for Pittsburgh. Great guy fucking
Speaker 2: drilled me into the boards. I mean straight up drilled
Speaker 2: me into the boards. And I just I think I
Speaker 2: made a selling years and I just, oh, and it's
Speaker 2: back to Giky. I'm on the ice and I look,
Speaker 2: you know, anytime you get hit, you look up, and
Speaker 2: it was wrecky, and I just I remember him laughing
Speaker 2: so fucking hard because he mustn't. He must have just
Speaker 2: been lining me up. He's going to because you're not
Speaker 2: thinking you're gonna get drilled and I got housed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't think I could.
Speaker 3: I was going to try out for I actually was
Speaker 3: quick and had hands. In one of my high school years,
Speaker 3: I was gonna try out to be a wide receiver on.
Speaker 1: The football team. And uh, I know it was funny.
Speaker 3: Is already laughing at the thought of that, because you're
Speaker 3: sitting to see what I was like now.
Speaker 1: But in high school I was quite slender and fast.
Speaker 1: I always had wheels and I was two days before
Speaker 1: I get hit by a cop car.
Speaker 4: Wait.
Speaker 1: Wait, I gotta hit by a cop car so I
Speaker 1: couldn't try out.
Speaker 3: And I was like, if there was ever a sign
Speaker 3: from God that you shouldn't be playing sports, he sends
Speaker 3: a police vehicle to mow me down in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: How did you get hit by a cop car?
Speaker 3: I don't know what part of that you don't understand.
Speaker 3: I was in the street and the car hit me,
Speaker 3: and it was a cup.
Speaker 2: Car with the lights on or anything. Or was he
Speaker 2: going somewhere.
Speaker 1: No, No, he was just driving to the neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Driver through the neighbor were playing we were playing manhunt,
Speaker 3: and I ran between Uh, I ran out between bushes.
Speaker 2: I remember you and Charlottesville.
Speaker 1: Is that correcting the white fact check? It gotcha? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's wrong. Let's get into the questions. Let's do it.

Speaker 5: How do you keep your head up and anxiety low
Speaker 5: when dealing with financial struggles? Times are tough out here
Speaker 5: and is really getting me down? It's hard not to
Speaker 5: think about all the time and let it consume me.
Speaker 5: How do any advice on how to cope?
Speaker 3: I think you spend your money on the right things
Speaker 3: like coming out to laugh at live comedy shows tickets
Speaker 3: on sale now, Joe gattoofficial dot com or punch Up Live.
Speaker 3: I think that's the best way that you could really
Speaker 3: spend your money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bet or recreational drugs, alcohol, any of the things
Speaker 2: you shouldn't do when you're depressed actually make you feel better.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, Yeah, distraction, I would take it seriousness. I
Speaker 1: think you need to.
Speaker 3: Finances are tough because they they carry a lot of
Speaker 3: weight to them, either you know, if worrying about you
Speaker 3: can provide for yourself or your family if which is
Speaker 3: even harder too if you have other people.
Speaker 1: I think you've got to try to conserve.
Speaker 3: Where you can, which is the biggest part of it
Speaker 3: for everybody. Try to conserve where you can, Like, don't
Speaker 3: try not to you spend forever listlessly that's the word,
Speaker 3: you know, the word I meant.
Speaker 2: You just go back and rewind and play that like
Speaker 2: three times.
Speaker 3: I would try not to spend that, you know, but
Speaker 3: it is, it is hard, there's no I think you
Speaker 3: gotta find comfort and in that the whole.
Speaker 1: It sucks for a lot of people now too, right though,
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, inflation is I mean, look, anybody taught. Look I
Speaker 2: had a bit about not being not going grocery shopping
Speaker 2: back in the day because like, my wife will buy
Speaker 2: vegetables and I'll be like djor no, and that's that's
Speaker 2: if I was in charge. But you know, I go
Speaker 2: back home and I talked to my wife. She's like,
Speaker 2: our grocery bill is literally almost double than what it
Speaker 2: was just a few years ago, and she was going
Speaker 2: through everything. I was like, holy shit, that's pretty crazy,
Speaker 2: I mean, because we're just always eating out right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I don't know, but but I look, it's tough
Speaker 2: all around, I guess for everybody, right, and Jiggy, you
Speaker 2: don't have money?
Speaker 1: Sorry, what do you? What do you do?
Speaker 2: Like, what do you do?
Speaker 5: Every stack starts with one?
Speaker 1: There you go, starts with one. That's great. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: are probably one of the most frugal guys I know. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: how long have we all been?
Speaker 2: Torn?
Speaker 1: Three? Two? Two years? Two and one tune a bit?
Speaker 3: One meal, yep, one meal, a breakfast too, a meal
Speaker 3: by my boy t Rex.
Speaker 1: Let me get this one.
Speaker 2: Can't guys still comes it just the fucking flippers. He's
Speaker 2: like a dolphin run.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'll take for the table. Let's get the
Speaker 1: cheese platter.
Speaker 3: I you know the thing I guess with Eddie struggle,
Speaker 3: it's always good not to be or try to feel
Speaker 3: like the responsibility solely on you and alone. So try
Speaker 3: to get help from your partner or your family whoever,
Speaker 3: you know, get a rich relative again, but more so
Speaker 3: like try not to be in the fight by yourself,
Speaker 3: like hopefully try to instill with your family, like to
Speaker 3: think about, Okay, let's have how we spend money, how
Speaker 3: can we save money, how.
Speaker 1: Can we make more money?
Speaker 3: You know, things like that. I think opportunity, think about opportunities.
Speaker 2: But it is that initial hole. Right, there's that initial hole. Look,
Speaker 2: I went through something during COVID, Right, COVID hit Weird
Speaker 2: Don't tour, and then I had, unfortunately just a challenger.
Speaker 2: But I unfortunately had just done a documentary on the
Speaker 2: Amazing Jonathan, which I did out of pocket, and then
Speaker 2: I was on the opening act and I had to
Speaker 2: invest money into that to finish it because it was
Speaker 2: dragging out. And then on top of that, COVID is hitting,
Speaker 2: and now I'm not working, so my savings just went wow.
Speaker 2: Just garbage. And so it was a great lesson in
Speaker 2: terms of, like to your point, reprioritizing everything, getting down
Speaker 2: to the bear essentials. What is it I need to
Speaker 2: take care of? Where can I playcate money? And you
Speaker 2: know you're doing the ball and the three cup game,
Speaker 2: and so I'm just shifting my priorities over here and
Speaker 2: building it all up and ultimately just comes down to discipline.
Speaker 2: Comes down to discipline and also a healthy mindset of saying, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is the situation now, but if it work hard
Speaker 2: today on this, this will not be the situation six
Speaker 2: months from now, it won't be the situation twelve months
Speaker 2: from now. I'll be a little better off and I'll
Speaker 2: you know, it starts with building a nest egg again,
Speaker 2: you know, and through hard work and discipline and a
Speaker 2: really prudent and patient wife, you know, I definitely got there.
Speaker 2: So it took a while.
Speaker 1: I think it's all about I think it's about what
Speaker 1: I said. Okay, that was great, but it was inspiring
Speaker 1: me to add to it.
Speaker 3: Sorry, please, I would say I think it's all about
Speaker 3: hustle too, because we've all been there and broke right too. Right,
Speaker 3: you know, I was eating you know, sharing tuna fish cans,
Speaker 3: you know, in my late twenties with with my roommate
Speaker 3: in Hollywood of all plan now right, yeah, yeah, living
Speaker 3: the dream. So I think it's like always, I mean,
Speaker 3: you got it. You're gonna have to your situation. You
Speaker 3: got to work hard to change it, yes, you know,
Speaker 3: and sometimes that's really hard to do and hopefully you're
Speaker 3: able to you know, rally yourself enough to do it.
Speaker 1: But again, like with a partner, it's all easier, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: Without like, if you're in it by yourself, that's that's
Speaker 3: that's tough too. And I would say try not to
Speaker 3: fight any battle by yourself. Try to find either confidant friend,
Speaker 3: somebody that can help you out, or you know, even
Speaker 3: just to motivate you.
Speaker 2: Because there's a lot more people that are in that
Speaker 2: situation that are not absolutely you know. So uh, I
Speaker 2: think it's I think it's all about what you said.
Speaker 3: This is about what we all what we said, because
Speaker 3: it's two cool moms, not one cool mom plus one.
Speaker 1: That's it, man, I got it. I could divide to
Speaker 1: every now and then he comes out of the shadows.
Speaker 5: Next question comes from Kelly skip the mommy to mommy category.
Speaker 1: Whoammy mommy?
Speaker 5: Actually all right, so she says, Hi, Mommy's i'd be
Speaker 5: came a mother in March to a beautiful baby girl.
Speaker 5: I'm struggling to find things to do during the day
Speaker 5: that are entertaining with a three month old. I sit
Speaker 5: around a lot watching TV while she sits in her crib.
Speaker 5: I'm so bored. Any suggestions to help with the boredom
Speaker 5: or any ideas of things to do?
Speaker 2: Walk, yeah, throw, throw the kid, stroll.
Speaker 1: Getting out of the house is the number one thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one thing hands out and changes everything. Three
Speaker 3: months and three months of year at that spot. Now
Speaker 3: we're about to be able to do that a little
Speaker 3: bit easier. Here's what I would do too.
Speaker 1: I I Bessie was so thought she was going to
Speaker 1: be a stroller mom. She wasn't. He became one of
Speaker 1: those carrier moms and.
Speaker 3: Having the baby on you when you're out it gives
Speaker 3: you a sense of secure because you know where the
Speaker 3: kid's at. So I would say, get yourself a carrier, like, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, an ergo or one of those. Just dropped
Speaker 3: a baby in there and you've got a baby beyond
Speaker 3: it and just's out there.
Speaker 1: Hammicking it like a zach Alfanakis and if you.
Speaker 2: Trip it fall it's like a baby airbag.
Speaker 1: Yeah it works nice.
Speaker 3: You know the kids are fine. Yeah, your beautiful baby
Speaker 3: girl has got she'll take care of it.
Speaker 1: She's got there.
Speaker 3: But no, I would say those like you feel you
Speaker 3: feel like connected with your kids still, and you're out
Speaker 3: and about and you still have your arms. You're not
Speaker 3: worried about that kind of stuff. But number one, get
Speaker 3: out of the house.
Speaker 1: I think you're right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think our favorite thing to do just and
Speaker 2: I we just throw live or can't in the stroller
Speaker 2: and just walk around our neighborhood and then the child's
Speaker 2: just seeing everything and receiving everything and all this information.
Speaker 2: But the greatest part about three months to six months
Speaker 2: to eight months to twelve months is that just the
Speaker 2: development of personality that you say, the smile turns into
Speaker 2: a laugh, the laugh turns into a murmur. The murmur
Speaker 2: tends when a first.
Speaker 1: Turns into a boo.
Speaker 2: Boo dad man, I tried, But I'm telling you all
Speaker 2: that is just that all those firsts are the greatest,
Speaker 2: they're the best, like first steps and everything.
Speaker 1: I think that's part of it too.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of patience, like you're gonna feel
Speaker 3: you know, you're going to feel alone and board right now,
Speaker 3: because that's what the stage is really for you, Like
Speaker 3: you have to just be there with the kid. But
Speaker 3: getting around adults helps, to getting around other humans help.
Speaker 1: So just sitting in your home is not.
Speaker 2: Going to help your mental state or right right, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you don't want to be the Google Gaga dad at
Speaker 2: the at the thing. But but not to throw it
Speaker 2: out there, but to throw it out there, like I know,
Speaker 2: just because my wife's profession, she's sleep training. So sleep
Speaker 2: after the three month mark is when children are able
Speaker 2: to get like on a sleep calendar, and it it
Speaker 2: does so much to the baby's mental health and just
Speaker 2: their bandwidth of you know, sleep is just so important
Speaker 2: to it to a young kid, to everybody, right, everybody,
Speaker 2: it's a big part of it. But the mental strain
Speaker 2: that it takes on parents because you're not getting to
Speaker 2: sleep because the child's not getting a sleep. So uh,
Speaker 2: it's called my dreamy sleeper. That's what my wife does,
Speaker 2: and she she's out there and she gets emotionally invested
Speaker 2: in all this stuff.
Speaker 1: But it is so basically we should they should talk
Speaker 1: to your wife, not.
Speaker 2: They should talk to my wife, not me, but but
Speaker 2: being privy to it, now I understand like just how
Speaker 2: much how much of you know a baby's health dynamic
Speaker 2: is rooted in just getting enough sleep, which is something
Speaker 2: you take for granted, but getting them on that proper calendar.
Speaker 2: So her name's Jessica Burn. It's my dream of sleeper.
Speaker 2: I'm just throwing out there just because organically we're doing
Speaker 2: this and she is emotionally invested with every client. I've
Speaker 2: seen her cry after calls and stuff and she gets
Speaker 2: really really annoy it and very proud of her about it.
Speaker 1: So that's great. Yeah. So and now because speaking about
Speaker 1: our frugal.
Speaker 2: But she puts babies to sleep, and I put you
Speaker 2: to sleep, which you can see Steve Burn live at
Speaker 2: Punch Up Comedy. What is it it's fresh Towels dot Net.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say I would agree with that because sleep,
Speaker 3: all of it is just like it's all new, it's
Speaker 3: all new, and you can't help but over idalyze everything
Speaker 3: to you like I'm just sitting here with again, like
Speaker 3: it's all new.
Speaker 1: You'll you'll you'll get but.
Speaker 2: Even oh yo, yeah, but for the young lady. First off,
Speaker 2: congratulations on having a baby. Second, enjoy every second of it,
Speaker 2: because that was the one thing everybody always told me,
Speaker 2: like like older folks, any advice, but they're like, enjoy
Speaker 2: because it goes by so quick, and you think, oh okay,
Speaker 2: And even on those long days where like the baby
Speaker 2: won't stop crying, he's just like, oh my god, well
Speaker 2: you just eat or whatever. How many diapers am I
Speaker 2: going to change today? And you're you're foggy yourself, like
Speaker 2: you think, oh god, I got to get through today.
Speaker 1: Just like it is.
Speaker 2: It all does just go by so quickly. And I
Speaker 2: can't believe my daughter's in junior high school now and
Speaker 2: my son is like going on. It's like this is nuts,
Speaker 2: this is crazy. And I miss the days of taking
Speaker 2: my daughter and just chucking her up to the ceiling
Speaker 2: like catching her.
Speaker 1: You're doing now you throw your back out.
Speaker 2: Oh I wouldn't even be be eating out of a straw. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So enjoy changing your typers. Enjoy every second because it
Speaker 2: does fly. It does fly, goes by so quick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I know that's the last thing you want
Speaker 3: to hear right now too, because she's like, I heye,
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 1: It's miserable. I'm sitting here with this dumb baby that's
Speaker 1: crying all the time. It's in this room, in this
Speaker 1: stumb animal.
Speaker 3: All I have is this podcast, and this guy's telling
Speaker 3: me to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: I just want to apart myself with the fame.
Speaker 2: My nipples are sore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got sore nipples. I know, we know, we know,
Speaker 1: but we're telling you you got this.
Speaker 2: You got this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great.
Speaker 2: Power through all right, I think we got time for
Speaker 2: one more?
Speaker 5: All right, more question. This one comes from Maria. She says, Hi,
Speaker 5: cool moms. My boyfriend and I have been together for
Speaker 5: ten years and live in a house we bought together.
Speaker 1: Ooh, spice it up.
Speaker 5: He wants to get married sooner than later, but I
Speaker 5: want to wait until we're a bit older and can
Speaker 5: afford a wedding. For context, we're about we're both twenty
Speaker 5: five and twenty six, and each have well over fifty
Speaker 5: family members, meaning that if we had a wedding only,
Speaker 5: the minimum we'd have is one hundred or two hundred people.
Speaker 5: I've grown up with a large family weddings and all
Speaker 5: my cousins. It's really important to me that I have
Speaker 5: everyone there. I wanted to be a party. I never
Speaker 5: envisioned my wedding to be small and intimate. I would
Speaker 5: like your advice, what should we do.
Speaker 2: I want to write the boyfriend and just go run.
Speaker 2: Look they've been dating since they were fifteen, they have
Speaker 2: a house together, they're twenty four. I mean this is yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I'm all for not I'm all look, I
Speaker 2: think I've been very transparent. I'm all for garnering experiences
Speaker 2: early on in your life. It looks like, you know,
Speaker 2: the record's pressed, there's we're not changing tunes here. So
Speaker 2: for the young lady, I would just say, you know,
Speaker 2: the wedding is as important as, or not as important
Speaker 2: as to her. It sounds like it is. She wants
Speaker 2: everybody there. But I've noticed a trend lately there's a
Speaker 2: lot more young folks that are getting married at like
Speaker 2: the courthouse. They're going to Vegas, and then they're throwing
Speaker 2: themselves a party, which is the least less expensive around.
Speaker 2: And then I think it's kind of smarter, to be
Speaker 2: honest with you. I think had my wife and I
Speaker 2: gone back in time, I think we should have just
Speaker 2: go on to Vegas and just done it, and then
Speaker 2: throwing a party for everybody and then we could go
Speaker 2: on a trip somewhere and the same amount of money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So her question is what they just
Speaker 4: It sounds like the boyfriend it's basically, should they wait
Speaker 4: till they can afford the wedding.
Speaker 1: Or just have a wedding?
Speaker 5: Again?
Speaker 1: Should they wait too.
Speaker 5: They can afford the wedding and do it the big
Speaker 5: way that they have to do.
Speaker 3: They're together, they're living together in the same house, they're
Speaker 3: already living in sin Yeah, I mean, like what does
Speaker 3: she worry about? Like, so just wait until you could
Speaker 3: have the wedding that you want. If you're not rushing
Speaker 3: to be married, if you are in a rush to
Speaker 3: get married to either start having children because you don't
Speaker 3: want to be you know, at a wedlock, or you
Speaker 3: want to make sure that you're all together, or if
Speaker 3: it's like because you want to buy a different house
Speaker 3: together or progress the relationship, that's a different story. That's
Speaker 3: only only you could answer from the outside perspective of us.
Speaker 3: That's all we could do. And I'm saying is like,
Speaker 3: wait till you can have the wedding you want.
Speaker 2: Why whatever the priority is to do that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it seems like it seems like she has
Speaker 3: her heart set on having the wedding. Because then another
Speaker 3: thing too is just she rushes into this marriage with
Speaker 3: this guy after ten years.
Speaker 1: You don't want to rush into anything, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean you would have goten like nothing like a
Speaker 2: decade to see if it's for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying it on.
Speaker 2: But I also think, you know, this is an old
Speaker 2: school mentality. But it's so I went into it with
Speaker 2: somebody saying, hey, it's her day, it's her day. If
Speaker 2: she wants that song to dance, the do that, you know,
Speaker 2: because no guy dreams about his wedding day. I've never
Speaker 2: I never went to bed at night thinking about my
Speaker 2: wedding day. I thought about on the other side, diving
Speaker 2: or I don't know your wedding night, hio. But I
Speaker 2: think it's ultimately, what what do you want? Make that
Speaker 2: the priority and pursue that. But yeah, it sounds like
Speaker 2: the don't make the family priority. Don't make you know.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, she's got a lot of money
Speaker 1: on the street right now. She said, it's been a hamley.
Speaker 1: She's been non big family, She's been to a lot
Speaker 1: of weddings.
Speaker 3: She's looking to get someone that in return, she wants
Speaker 3: the boomerang effect, you know, the boomerang gift.
Speaker 1: Right, that's why already keeps the journal. Would you throw
Speaker 1: to me? Throw it right back to you? Two fifty
Speaker 1: two fifty back to you? What was it? Fifty dollars
Speaker 1: your cheap fuck here it is, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: that's what it is.
Speaker 3: So she probably is thinking that too, like that's a
Speaker 3: big opportunity to actually get a good run up, get
Speaker 3: some money to get started with the.
Speaker 1: Next thing that they want to do. So, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're not spending all of it on the wedding where.
Speaker 2: You get married at your house, Yeah, do that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I went to one of my buddies, did that. That's
Speaker 2: what too. Yeah, Jiggy, you could do it at your apartment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, jig could actually you know what, And I am
Speaker 3: I will marry you guys because I'm a licensed practitioner.
Speaker 5: That's definitely not what it's called.
Speaker 1: That's not what it's called.
Speaker 2: But I am almost It was just a route.
Speaker 1: I'm apprecier, a preacher pass.
Speaker 2: You got ordained.
Speaker 3: I'm ordained, yah, because I married mer minister minister, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you got ordained, sal got ordained. He married me and
Speaker 3: Bessie and then me I married uh Murr and Molsa.
Speaker 3: That was and I was also his best man. I
Speaker 3: wore a lot of hats that day, a lot of hat.
Speaker 2: Or you did my ceremony and the best man.
Speaker 1: I did the both. Wow. So I said, you have
Speaker 1: the rings to yes, I do.
Speaker 2: You were sitting you were waiting on that one.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I was, that's great.
Speaker 1: Did you I could see you being a man of
Speaker 1: the cloth. Are you a fellow minister?
Speaker 2: I was ordained because I did this reality show on
Speaker 2: an NBC called The Real Wedding Crashes and I had
Speaker 2: to marry somebody on the air. So I did that,
Speaker 2: and then my buddy Dave Boland, who won two Cups
Speaker 2: with the Chicago black Hawks, asked me to do his,
Speaker 2: his wedding and their divorce now so that I'm one for.
Speaker 1: One, one for one, yeah, one in one or one one.
Speaker 2: I'm one, not one for one. You're right. I'm who's
Speaker 2: the sports guy?
Speaker 1: Now? Who's the sports guy? Now? One and one on
Speaker 1: your way to the the analytics guy. That's right. I
Speaker 1: run the numbers. I'm the guy that sludge you the sheet.
Speaker 1: And you can be like yeah, this is his four
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven of them. R.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a great responsibility to do that though, because
Speaker 2: then you wonder how personal do I get, and then
Speaker 2: how regimented, and you know, like stick to stick to
Speaker 2: the greatest hits. You don't want to think outside the
Speaker 2: box and go crazy here, so uh yeah.
Speaker 3: But you want to also make it like kind of
Speaker 3: feel tailored. I remember when Sala did ours, which was
Speaker 3: good because Sala did ours.
Speaker 1: And he gave us like homework.
Speaker 3: He met with Bessie Barry, he met with both of us,
Speaker 3: and he met with Bessy bars I met with me,
Speaker 3: and then he asked us a couple of questions to
Speaker 3: fill out.
Speaker 1: And that nom which was cool because it makes you
Speaker 1: think in a different way. And he just said it
Speaker 1: was cool.
Speaker 3: He said, pour yourself a cup of coffee, sit down,
Speaker 3: just write this when you try out. And he told us,
Speaker 3: you know, just have you know a couple of you
Speaker 3: just read read this and just write whatever you want.
Speaker 3: Some of the sweetest stuff came out of these prompts
Speaker 3: that he had.
Speaker 1: And then it was met. When I had to marry
Speaker 1: Murr and.
Speaker 3: Melissa, I honestly didn't Normalissa that well, you know, so
Speaker 3: I we went to dinner and we just sat down
Speaker 3: and we told it. It was like one of the nicest
Speaker 3: things because you're actually trying to get to know somebody
Speaker 3: and right right, yeah, And I knew the story from
Speaker 3: the perspective being with my best friend, but I wanted
Speaker 3: to make sure the wedding had about.
Speaker 1: Her too, like I feel of her too, because I was.
Speaker 3: More of the best man than the preacher, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, like the pastor so. But that was
Speaker 3: It's really it's a cool experience as somebody when you're
Speaker 3: trying to get to know people that you're the conversation
Speaker 3: leans differently, you know, it's like, tell.
Speaker 1: Me about you know, what do you think about love?
Speaker 1: Like it was a question I asked.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't ask a dinner when we were just out
Speaker 3: as friends, being like, you know, it's like it's it
Speaker 3: was pretty interesting to get to know somebody fast tracked
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: And Murr's wedding was the only wedding you had ever
Speaker 2: been to where there was a merch standards. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: just murried, just Murray, you know, just just Murray, just
Speaker 2: Murried t shirts, just Murky.
Speaker 1: We got Murried he doesn't have that T shirt. You
Speaker 1: should have it.
Speaker 2: Call him.
Speaker 1: It'll be up on tomorrow on his site. God bless him,
Speaker 1: but get murdered. Yeah, so it was.
Speaker 3: I really liked the whole process of being It is
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure to be the minister, to be
Speaker 3: the pastor of it because like you're like it, the
Speaker 3: whole vibe of the ceremony part.
Speaker 1: Really it really does.
Speaker 3: It does like you have to serve up the right thing.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if I would do it again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if you're asked to do it again, if
Speaker 2: your best friend asked you, of course you're gonna do it.
