Speaker 3 (03:58):
Let me ask you this.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
You're you're father?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Was he and my father's exact hairdo and hair and well,
you know, you knew it was coming.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I knew it was kind of surprise.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
It was a mirror.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I was looking at the man in the mirror. Try
to stop me. You can't, you can't. Can you didn't
make that change? Now I did it? I did right there.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
I got the same belly and same hairline as my father,
except my dad was six foot three, so your dad
was six three three really, so my belly on a
five foot nine gentleman.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's very different, a little more compact.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
It goes.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's like my father in the drya shrug off like
a wool sweater.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
My dad.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, I think when you're young, you just look at
your dad and that's your dad, right. And my dad,
by the way, is riding his bike right now, listening
to this no way, because he always high Dad, love you.
He he always rides his bike and he calls me afterwards.
He's like, I just listened to the latest episode.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
You guys are great. I'm like that he listens. When
he was, yeah, I think he was.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I remember being in the back seat of the car
and looking at the old bald spot and just thinking, oh,
my dad's got a little bod, you know, just kind
of being a kid, make fum. Then I remember he
got the salt and pepper and I, you know, just
a kid.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
You're like, oh, you're getting old.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
And I remember him saying, you guys are making me
get old, giving me give me great hair. Yeah, and
I didn't. It's again, you're a kid. You don't really
put those things together. And then you get older, you
have kids yourself, and you look back on that and
I'm like thinking, like where I was, where my kids
are now where I'm looking. They're looking at their dad right,

(05:40):
and I'm like, Okay, I think I've I've I've staved
it off. I you know, it's still thick. It's hanging
in there.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
You got it for a gentleman. And is can I
say it's fifties you are for young fifties.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Fifties you are like, you.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Look like good with the hair, Like you don't look
like you got the hair of a forty year old,
is what I'm saying, the.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Hair of I have the mentality of a seventy eight
year old in Montana that just wants to go to
the diner and get pancakes and be in bed by three.
Like that's I love my flat jacks. But but yeah,
it's weird even saying that, right, Like, I feel weird
saying like, because when you're a kid and you're even
in your thirties or forties, you think fifty, my god,

(06:26):
that's so old. It's like it's fifteen years away from retirement,
ten years away from sixty, right, I mean, it's it
like it all and then you hit it. You're like,
but I've always felt I've always felt younger. Yeah, that
have you?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
You always present yourself that way too. You do like
you have a very young, youthful vibe to you in
a good way.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Immature.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
No, I wouldn't say you immature. I would say you're mature.
But I would say you're an idiot.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
No, no, no, I would say I would say you are.
I would say you're I would say im mature. I
wouldn't at all. I think, I sure, I would say
you're youthful. Youthful. Youthful is okay? Energy, you know what
I'm saying. Whiskey helps. I want to well, that makes
it worse for you, actually, I think. But I want
to say something to you here.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I want to you touch on something when you said,
you know you give your father gray hair. What do
you think is one of the biggest things that you
did as a youngster that escalated them in years like that,
You're like, was there a standout moment?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Temper?

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Temper was a big thing, just a short fuse, and
you know, even in my adult years, learning to control
that and like read about it and understand what I
need to do to control my temper. And I think
also part of it comes with age. But I think
when you're young and immature, you just it's almost like
I think when you're like sixteen, you're hormonal. It's almost

(07:48):
being like two or three again, right where you're two
or three, you're going to scream. You don't know exactly
how to communicate, and your parents need to set you
straight right and pure hits, and it's almost kind of
like the same thing where it's like, I'm gonna last shout,
I'm hormonal, I'm gonna take this zero to sixty. And

(08:09):
it just takes a nice fucking fresh one from your dad,
nice Irish Catholic fresh one right across the gullet to
let you know, shut the hunt, temper it down, relax.
I'll never forget my father. He cracked me so hard.
I was in front of my friends. He's only made friends,
is the worst. He's only hit me maybe two or

(08:31):
three times in my life. Right, it's only needed to sparingly.
But I must have been fifteen or sixteen. I one
hundred percent earned it. I earned this, and I was
mouthing off to my father in front of my friends.
My dad cracked me so hard. I did the Jackie
Chan where I spun around. I spun He hit me
so hard. I spun around like a top and I
fell down in the front yard and I was so embarrassed.

(08:54):
I was punished for a week. It was It was
one of those things where I don't even remember what
it was about, right, but I remember getting crap.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
You remember the hit? Yeah, how about you?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
My everybody in neighborhood was afraid of my mother, which
is so funny because like she wouldn't be afraid to
like discipline another kids. You wouldn't him Mary, but she
would be like she would yell at like people. My
mother wasn't the ones like you know, you had the
volat you know what vallacci is, So Vallacchi's is like
when they're on the Stupe.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I've always seen the Godfather one and two, So.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
When they're on the stupid Brooklyn and they're like, oh,
you know what your son did. I don't want to
you know, I don't want to study any trouble, but
your son. He was like the mothers that would go
tell the mother what.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
The kid did. So like it's like a Volacchi. I
Vallacchi was a Vallacci was a guy.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Vallacci
was somebody who rated in the mob. It was the
last name of somebody who rated in the mob, and
famously that became the term Vallacci. Don't be a Vallacchi.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh, okay, so somebody snitches. So my mother was never
a Vlacchi.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
She would always handle it herself right, so like she
wouldn't go tell the mother, like she would keep between them.
And I remember my best friend next door, Jason Joseph,
who you've met, uh, She he was like doing something,
were hanging like the wrong kids or whatever.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
And they would come by the house and they would
coming down.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
The street and every one's avenue and they're all walking
down the street together and they like a little, you know,
thuggy group of guys coming through. And my mother opens
like she was my mother's like crazy, was in a
like bathrobe with these young thugs walking down the street.
My Mom's sitting there on a cup of coffee jeels,
She's looking out the door and she goes, hey, Jason,
and Jason looks always like I' missus Gatty's like, you're
supposed to be hanging with them, no way, right, but

(10:23):
all of them and Jason goes, no, Missus Gattow, She's like,
probably should go home then, and then he just like
said bye, and like he hopped the fence and went
home because he's really to my mother. Yeah, it's so funny.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
That literally sounds like the opening scene in a Bronxtown, right.
I could picture it, like the Italian mom, the mugg
of coffee, the curlers.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
In the hair. Hey, Joseph, that's great there under the street. Valucci,
I've never heard Lachi Vallacci. Sorry, yeah, what's a valucci?
A Volucci is a is a briefcase? Did you find it?
Vallucci s? It's by one get one? Vallucci's at sis. Yeah,

(11:12):
my my mom, I remember, I think, would your mom
crack you when you're a kid, Oh, your dad cray?
My mom was, My mom was the enforcer. My dad
only I told you the story.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
My my dad only hit me once, and I remember
it because I called my mom a bitch and you
didn't even look up from dinner.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
You just hit me right in the stomach. I fell
the floyd because you'll never say that again. And that
was down to the floor.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
My mom was, you know, the stereotypical growing up in
the eighties nineties to tell your mother, you know, sure
wooden spoons, all the hits, you know, but she was
did have a little soft spot for me.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
I do remember.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
One of my favorites was when I got sixteen years
old and I was bigger than her.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I was able to disarm her. So she swung the
woodspoon and I caught it, and I granted it and
pulled out her hand and I spun around. I smacked
him on the asp like.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Light and I went, ah, I see hysterical laughed, and
I was like, all right, I got that one.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Pretty cool, you know, that was pretty funny. I survived
that one, you know. But she was always, you know,
she she was. It wasn't my mom wasn't quick to
quick to the hit time.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
My mom was she had done it enough that she
gives you the look like you'd be able to like
you knew to stop it, you know. And I wasn't
that bad of a kid overall, but it was just
like a little bit like I should, uh, I should
probably watch my tone, you know, which was crazy.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, I think I drove my folks a little mental
when I was a kid, because I yo, I think
when you're a kid, especially you're going through identity crisis,
You're trying to figure out who you are, right and
for sure vastly insecure, and so that's where a sense
of humor came in to you know, almost cover it,

(12:47):
I guess, be like an umbrella to mask all the insecurity,
especially being Korean and Irin.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Then you go through a big thing with that, like
getting in touch with your your inner Asian as you
call it?

Speaker 1 (12:57):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
What you call outer Asian? Your Asian? Is that a
European Asian and Eurasian?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
I never took like a trip to the desert it,
you know what, I never did anything like that. But
but because I've been to Dublin and I've been a
soul right, so I've been to soul searching and I
met my wife on soulmates. No we uh, but I
think those things are kind of like a fun nod

(13:26):
to see like where you're like, have you been what felt? No?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
What felt more at home Solar Dublin. I gotta tell you,
I mean.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, wait, first, one question back up. First, how old
were you when you went to each?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
So when I was probably thirty I went to double
so you were an adult, okay, yeah, and then I
went again when I was thirty two, I went to
like back to back, Okay.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Don't need to break.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
It was for work, yeah, okay, I did that time
international touring comedian, we get it. Then Soul was for
the usl right, Soul was for the US people, right, yeah,
no need to break.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Doing good things?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
You know, for charity and put yourself out there. Don't
need to break, that's right. That's how I always started off.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
So you know, I've been to Soul doing good, do
the work.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
But we had a lot of downtime because like when
you go to Joe, I've done multiple USO tours and
it's not it's not about me, it's about them.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
They need the laugh, believe me. Sure, But when you
wanted you go, you're serving food. Are these recyclable?

Speaker 3 (14:29):
So when I when you go to like Afghanistan, Iraq
four or five height to war war zone, I'm not
a hero, guys.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah okay, yeah, we all know.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
It, but they you cannot go anywhere, right, I mean,
it's a war zone. You can't go to the bazaar,
you can't go downtown. You're just like Laylock. But you
go to Soul, you know, you have a show tonight,
seven have fun. So it's almost like, wow, I have
the whole day free.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
You go out. It was great.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
It was so awesome, And I think in terms of like,
was there a connection to either one. There's a connection
to both, for sure. But it's interesting like even now
when I go out to the airport or you know, wherever,
and I see a Korean family held all together and
I see the kids, I'm like, they look just like
every time, I'm like, oh, they look just like my cousins,
or these could be my cousins. Or One of the

(15:15):
greatest memories I have was when we were kids. My
mom belonged to a Korean church and so all the
Koreans in New Jersey would meet, I think in like Brunswick.
There was like a park there or something, and we
they would just put mounds of Korean beef on these
like in these barbecues, you know, So it was like

(15:36):
Korean barbecue, like like twelve barbecues, just all making golby
and bogolgie and it was like the smell I could
smell now, and just playing with all the Koreans. I know,
It's just it was just super fun and everybody was
super cool. So I don't know, I still have like,
I still feel that kind of like outsider connection. But
it's interesting now when I especially when you meet somebody

(16:00):
that's half Like I was just at a restaurant the
other day and she got finished serving and uh, I said.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Do you a Happa?

Speaker 3 (16:07):
She goes, yeah, I'm so and so, and she's like,
I was gonna ask you are you a Hoppa? And
Happa is like a term for being half Asian. I
think it came out of Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
But anyways, Dennis Hopfield, Dennis Hopper is famously.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Famously half Asian. Yeah, he's Irish and well.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
He smokes so much weed literally look Asian. Yeah, but
that's where I feel. I think the most connection is
when I see like a hoppa is like You're like, oh,
there's you're here too. You know that's kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
I was just talking about this because I've always been
full right, I've always been full Italian, like multi generation right,
and then I married Bessie, who is you know, full
Lebanese so she's been full like Lebanese. So now we
have our kids and they were just hairy again school,
you're very hairy.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
My daughter has already started waxing lip at nine and
she's so she So we like have uh, you know,
uh our Italian I don't know what a happah it.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Would be in our terms. Got a Lebanese Italian a
litma a litmus test. We have a litmus test. So
we have uh, we have ours.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
And it was like we were just talking about because
the grandparents live with us, so they have their you know,
and they speak Arabic and all this stuff, and then
they go to New Year's with my loud their loud
Italian aunts and cousins and everything. So it's really just
interesting to see how they're developing that way. And their
personalities are very much like right down the middle.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
And would you say that the Lebanese are a little
more like recluse or a little more yeah, because Italians
are very kind of.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Loud.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yes, is that is that a boisterous boystreouses boisterous but
also very loving for sure.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
And it's all about family. Yeah, yeah, right, I would
about Lebanese too.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
My my for my kids, grand you know, grandfather because
one of eleven kids, the grandmother is one of ten.
It's like huge families. The cousins lived with the Bessie
here all her cousins like lives with her and stuff.
So it's like a huge family thing there too. I
just think it's a quieter setting, you know.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, they pray a lot, so.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
They had to, like, hey, they have breaks built in
where we don't you know, we eat a lot.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
So I did this. So the more you talk about
your home life, the more I think, see something, say something,
it sounds like there may be a terrorist cell developing
at your home.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Just dogs, there's just dogs, lots of dogs. Sure, sure, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
My Korean side, it was all I mean, my mom
was the second youngest of all and uh like seven
seven kids. So six of them came to the States.
One stayed in Korea after my mom met my father
and it became our home in Jersey. Became like this
underground railroad for the Koreans. So the ones still that's

(18:57):
not right, Well yeah, I mean they would come, well
you were importing them illegally, but we like literally they
would they would come and stay with us and get
acclimated right, and then assimilate and then another family to
come in. And we did this so from the from
the ages of like five to eight, I just remember

(19:20):
always having a Korean family with us until they got
their own apartment.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Then they got their own business.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Pretty wild, and we we had actually written a show
about this, me and Rob Long, who did Sullivans on them.
It guts me that it never went but we pitched it.
And the one thing we pitched in the thing, which
was true. By the way, I have a family picture.
There were so many Koreans. My father never had time
for himself, right, because he was running two businesses. He
was getting you a driver's license, getting you situated for

(19:48):
the bank loan so you could start your He was
run ragged, but he did everything for everybody, right, and
so he set up a camera and he was gonna
take a family portrait. So he hits the button, runs back.
There's like fifteen Koreans and my dad is standing at
the back with his mom, with my mom and he's
literally cut off from here up. There's not even enough

(20:09):
room for him in the picture. And I remember one
time he came home, he was so run ragged. Again,
he was just dealing with everything, and they were like
fifteen pairs of shoes on the little landing and he
came home one day and there wasn't any room for
his shoes and he just kicked all the shoes.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
He lost it.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
And it was one of those things where all the
relatives were like they knew what it was about. So
they sat him down and gave him like a proper
meal and like, you know, I'm.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Just something else, misoging doing his nails.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Yeah, hot rock, we got my grandma stopping on us
like that.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah, would you like to add the scalping foot. That's
great though, that your dad like that for everybody.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
And because he because your mom, because he loved your mom, right,
I mean that was like, yeah, he wouldn't have had
that life if he didn't marry your mom, you know
what I mean, Which is interesting to think about.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
You, but I think that's that's kind of like I
think we're part of a generation where you know, New
York City was New York City like a less depicted
version of what you saw in like the fifties or
sixties with Scorsese films, that it comes synonymous, like the
Italians had that part of the nagh. But the Irish
had that part of it. But like, the reason I

(21:32):
bring it up is like we're part of like a
generation where, especially on the Eastern Seaboard, like here in
Jersey and New York, you still had relatives coming over right, Yeah,
and it's it's not like that anymore. I don't get
the sense that people are still like funneling you know,
Italians or Koreans or Asians over.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Here, like like we had back in the day where.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
That was somewhat normal.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, that was something of our generation, I think.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, Yeah, I think it's kind of like we tapped out.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, we've had enough with it. No, we're done. Enough
is enough Trump? You gotta build the wall.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
So we built the wall. We're done. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
I think would you ever go.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Live in like do you think you would enjoy yourself
living in uh, Ireland or Korea?

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, I've always been open to something like that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
But I I love America. I love living here. I
love this country. I there's and again just traveling so much,
there's so many aspects of it I love. And I
love the fact that like like you can come here
right to New York City, or you could go now
to Idaho and in the last fifteen years, especial with Uberes,

(22:39):
you can literally eat anything you want.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
It's always about food with you, one percent about food.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
But if you go to China, it's like you're eating
Chinese food, that's it. You go to Italy, it's like
there's no Mexican I mean there are, but it's not
like here where it's like.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
The make tacos Palman.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah, I got you, you know what I mean though,
That's what I love about our country is that.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
I mean, I truly like the I love that it
all comes down to a menu for you.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
It's like my whole day revolves. I get so excited
about you had breakfast though, I had breakfast.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
My wife is getting on me, like you got to
eat something in the morning, Yes, before you do anything.
You just aren't having to do it.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, I've been doing the I've been doing that intermittent fasting,
you know when you only eat like in a window
between between two and four I do. I do nine
am to ten pm. I shut it down ten pm.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
It's yeah, yeah, what what are you doing right now?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
No?

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Hold on a second, are hold on?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Hold on?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Are you doing to think?

Speaker 1 (23:58):
What Mike Tyson. Was that real? No, that wasn't real.
Oh are you serious? I know, I kept you on
the whole line the longest.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
You get Really somebody sent me an ai picture of
Mike Tyson, of me and fighting Mike Tyson, and I
was sitting on it for a couple of months, and
I was like, oh, you know, I saw it and
I was like, oh, it'll be funny if I posted
this and just tried to make it believable.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
So I tagged Hulu. It was believable.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
It was believable. I got picked up by multiple news outlets.
I got phone calls from my sisters, my cousins. Bessie
was like, you're fighting Mike. Like I think I would
tell you I was fighting Mike Tyson.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
It's like, I was like, I think he I think
he's like joking, like he's not gonna fight Mike type,
but he's fighting Mike Tyson to lose weight and get everybody.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Everybody came up with their own feel what it was. Yeah,
it would be a great show. By the way, I
wouldn't be surprised if it got picked up now I
know it shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah, I really believed it.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I fell for it. And then you I fed into
it yet? Really? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:53):
You text me, I said, and I said, go get
him Champ. You text me like is this real?

Speaker 3 (24:57):
I was like, I was like, I'm gonna come see
the thing. I'm so excited for you because I was like, Wow,
you're getting it, like you're gonna walk.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Well no, I waited into two twenty when I at
at New Year's and I was like, Oh, I'm gonna stop.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
You're doing a real thing.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm I'm just trying to. I'm doing what I always do.
I cut it in half, I stop eating late. So
I'm already down seven pounds. Are you going down to
two thirteen right now?

Speaker 1 (25:17):
And you've been pretty good though lately. Anyways, Yeah, two
twenty is a big balloon for me.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
I try to get it.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I try to have around two hundred if I can.
So I started out some room to go, but the
road life's tough. When I get out there and you know,
the burger king, you know, impossible. Wap is a stare
at me right the gull at ten fifteen pm, Get off, stag.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Just one little something to get you.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
You know, do you want to get a bit happy?

Speaker 1 (25:39):
You can go a bit sick.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah, I just signed up for the Mario Lemieux has
a fantasy camp every year in Pittsburgh. So it gets
like all these uh you know, retired all stars to
come and play and there's a few comedians. We go,
we do a show, we perform, and then part of
it is like if you perform, you you can skate, right,
So I'm going to skate for five days and I

(26:06):
haven't skated in probably a year and a half, and so.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Perform on ice is like it's like Disney on ISO, Comedians.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Scott Hamill, You're doing a triple lose and then you're like,
knock knock.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
But I have to because I was like, well, I
could just phone it in, right, but why But I'm like,
if I'm gonna do this, I want to enjoy the experience,
so torch myself. So I'm gonna I'm literally getting in shape,
so I'm jumping rope again. I'm gonna start skating as
soon as I get home next week. And just like
you know, when is the camp, it's uh, mid February

(26:43):
and Pittsburgh. So for five days it's like I skate,
I think twice a day and it's it's an amazing
experience because obviously all the money with the Lumu Foundation
always goes to to cancer research and to the children's
wing at the Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. A ton of
great things, very charitable.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
You are.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
I get to the troops, I get to the kids.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Are you sick if you're a military kid, I'm your
guy kids in the military by step Bird.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
But I I yeah, so it's one of the things
where you skate. But these guys are still kind of
like competitive, right, I mean, they're professional athletes.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
I remember last time I played.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Mark Reki, who's an unbelievable hockey player. I think three times.
Stanley cup Cham drilled me in the boards, like ran
me in the boards, and I remember being on the ground.
I just I just remember him skating away, laughing, going
get up burns.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
And I.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Like Paul Coffee, who played with Gretzky, who played with me,
one of the greatest defensemen of all time, just chirping
the whole time, making fun of me. And it's just
like it was just a fun experience. It was really
so I'm like, all right, you know, even at my age,
I still want to do the best that I can
to enjoy.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
You get to be in the mix, which is fun. Yeah,
you get to throw it around.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
And I'm sure you have zinger so like you if
you made something happen, I'm sure you could be like throwing.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Back a little bit at their way. Right. Yeah, oh,
comedian just got one on you. But it was it
was not even a professional.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
It was interesting though, because I remember this one time
I got caught one of the defenseman got caught up
in the thing. So if you're a winger, you come
back and take the place you d right. So I
saw the d going in, I understood I had to
swoop back. So I'm coming back and I'm coming back
on defense and it's Mario Lemieux and one of the
campers and I'm literally skating backwards looking at Mario lemue

(28:29):
I grew up idolizing this guy. I mean, the second
to Gretzky in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
He's the first, okay.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
But but just an eight year old to ten year
old to twelve year old me is sitting there gone,
this is wild holy cow. And of course he beat
me in talking smack. As we're making the loop, and
a photographer happened to capture the moment of him coming
down and then us laughing as we're coming up, and uh,
just such a just one of those experiences that you

(28:58):
would only have because of our job. It's so crazy
the things that we've gotten exposed to or the opportunities
we've had like that. Never no million years at sixteen,
when I was playing hockey in Hampton Township, did I
ever think one day you're gonna play You're you're gonna
hang out with that guy? Like what, that's crazy, that's
so cool.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Well, you know what they say, meet your heroes.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Meet meet, well.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Most of them meet your hockey hero's.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Who's Who's a hero you met that you loved mel Brooks?

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Wow, it's real. Melbrooks was great. It was such a
great moment.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
When did you meet melbrook He did?

Speaker 1 (29:31):

Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
He did a screening of Blazing Saddles and I had

Speaker 2 (29:41):
We just worked out the guy was there there, recognized me,
said you go into the meet and greet?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
I said yes, He said okay, and.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
I went downstairs and one of my sisters. It was
like only his.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Family and me. Crazy. Yeah, really awesome. Yeah, So he
was on his way out right.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I got him for a minute, said hello, took a
picture of my sisters, which is still hanging on my wall.
I told him I was there with my sisters. I
mean me and my sisters grew up watching you. And
he goes your sister's where your sisters said, He goes,
bring him in and he kiss me, kiss me, and we.

Speaker 1 (30:03):

cheeks and me like on the outside.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
It's really funny. Wow, what a great dude.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
And just to see him up there like he was
jumping up like I mean at that point, I think
he was eighty nine or ninety and he was jumping
up on jumping out of his seat on stage or
the Q and A and just acting out all this stuff.
It was right after Gen Wilder passed, so he was
like telling all these stories about Gen.

Thank you, what do I need to say? Start over
with a nicer tone.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Of coursely the nicest person I know. Literally, I see.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
All right, let's get into these bitches. What's one habit
or mindset that can make the biggest difference in your life?

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Oh god, you've had multiple positive mindset, yes, one hundred percent,
and you're great at it. You are literally I'm not joking.
I'd love to shit on you, but I can't. You
are so good at keeping You're so positive.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
That's why you're a great leader.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
And no matter what situation you're in, no matter what
the dynamic is, no matter what happened before, I've seen
a thousand times like you'll be set with an adverse
set of circumstances and then you're going to do a show,
and you literally have a way to compartmentalize everything, stay positive,
understand what's important, maybe deal with things on your own, whatever,

(32:48):
But you have a way to flip a switch and
just you greet everybody, security, the you know, whoever's running
the thing, the staff. You just I've never seen anybody,
you know. I don't get too personal, but you know,
especially when you were dealing with some things like you
just have a way of just staying positive and it

(33:08):
permeates around you, and that effect is a lot more
powerful than people think. If anybody had an excuse in
the world to be dour or run down or woes
me or whatever it was, you for a period of
time and you never I literally I would like swear
about I've never seen it, like I've never seen it,
And it was so inspiring to see that. It's like,

(33:30):
you know, we'd be on the road and something that
would happen to be like, but we're getting a great meal.
Let's go get a great meal, you guys, right for
a great meal. It was like that, I would say,
is one of the things that I gleaned from our
friendship early on, and I was like, that's the way
to do it, and need just recalibrate it just a
little bit. And it's all about your mindset. So I
think like having that positive mindset is one of the

(33:52):
greatest habits you could form.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
I think positive is important mindset for sure, and I've
seen you grow to do that a little bit better.
I'll say something that I found a habit that's important
is don't try to change it all at once, And
that came from the same part of me. It was
like I felt like I was like just covered by
a pile of rocks and we have the dudes move
one at a time. I think you focus on how
do I fix everything? And that was a big thing
for me. I was like a fix everything kind of person.

(34:15):
But I was like, this is take it once up
at a time. You'll feel less overwhelmed and you'll actually get further.
And I think there's sometimes you have to accept there's
not the things you can fix, you know, the right
of control.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
So I think that part of it.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
I think that's a good mindset to have, is like
all right, attached, you know, attack a problem piece by piece.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
I think that's right.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
There's so many great habits that people have that I
wish I had to, Like reading really yeah, like you're like,
well read, like you're so much smarter.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
I would not go that far. Yeah, you are beyond
street smart, oh for sure. And street smarts get you
a lot further. And books, well, I will say this,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I've seen you, and I'll say this about you and
Brian Quinn. These are two guys that I would say
that are able to connect with people because you are
so well read and to talk about almost anything. I
haven't seen Brian not be able to talk to someone
about anything in life. Q and I would say the
same thing about you. I put the two of you
probably in a class by themselves and my Tier one
friends that are the people that are able to connect

(35:14):
and talk to people on a subject, no matter what
it is. Like he'll people throw a name out. He'd
be like, oh, oh the guitarist, Like who know who
that is? And I'll be like, oh, who's Frank Bennifield,
you know what I mean? Like he would be like, oh, yeah,
he was a guy who invented the pick.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
What are you talking about? You know? Like that kind
of stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
But I think the biggest benefit of being well read
is that you're able to connect with people in conversation.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
To some form of or or you you're you're hearing
about something for the first time, like but what is
that you know? And being intrigued enough to want to
learn about it for sure, which I like, but uh.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
So so, But reading is an easy one.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
You could just yeah, read it.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
I mean, it's nothing. I don't like Swish with as
much traveling as you do.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
That's why I got into like like I made a
conscious decision, like this is the best thing to do,
like you can't be on your phone, put in an
airplane mode, and just I.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Did start, you'd be proud of me.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I started reading The Princess Bride, the book because I
want to write a screenplay about it. So I started
reading the book version of it, which is good. I
thought of you when I bought a book and I
opened it and I started reading. I was on like
page forty, and I thought of me, was like, oh,
I'm reading a book.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Steve would be a book by William Goldman, whose book
Adventures in the screen Trade I read and learn about
the osmosis of that of that story, but yeah, that's
I mean, nobody better than him, and what a great
like a fantastic story, and the osmosis of that story too.
You know how he was yeah, orating Adventures to his
kids and they're like, you got to write that down,

(36:39):
And it's unbelievable how you take something so personal like
that and then it turns into probably of all the
incredible screenplays that guy's written, that's the one that kind
of defines him. And it was about a connection with
his daughter it's.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
So great, pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, say, and you're able to talk about all that.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
I wasn't taking.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Yeah, But is there is there a habit you you
personally would like to break?

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Though? I mean, how much time do we have?

Speaker 3 (37:09):
No?

Speaker 2 (37:09):
I think I'm pretty I think I'm pretty well tuned
with who I am. I don't think I have any
I was pretty I was pretty good at like recognizing
habits and being like, this is something I shouldn't be doing.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
I don't think I had many.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Though that I was like felt were like bad habits
besides like succumbing to my temper a little bit sometimes,
or like being too quick witted with my you know,
two silver tongued with people, you know. I think that
was probably the biggest habit I had to break. Was
I had to think it before I say.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
It kind of deal.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
But overall, No, I don't think it was like, you know,
I was never a drink or smoker, uh, you know,
a drug addict anything like that.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
So it's basically like of all those things and you're
still the most fun of all.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
It's like, how how is that possible? Unbelievable? Yeah, I think,
uh no, I never really had to do that. How
about you. Do you have something that's on your hit list?

Speaker 3 (37:57):
I think, uh, I think you know, just boy, Like
to your point, it's like, boy, there's there's a lot
to comb through. But I think also there's a complacency
as you get older, you're like it's baked yeah, Like yeah,
this is baked in, so you got to deal with it.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
It's more managing instead of breaking, like knowing parts of personality.
This part is so hard to you know, when you're
so far.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Down the hill.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
It's like hard to like redirect you where you're going
to land. So it's like, you know, you just want
to manage different pieces of it. You can lean a
little bit here and there.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yeah, yeah, I think especially in our line of business, right,
it's so easy to get frustrated.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
It's so easy.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
To like look to your left and look to your
right and see X and Y and Z and she
and he and but and I think early on I
was somebody told me something that was so smart. It's
just like you're playing golf, you're not competing against them,
you're competing against yourself. So that was like a healthy
dynamic of how to look at stand up. So I've

(38:54):
always done that and so for me, the frustrations have
been literally like ah, this flight's delayed, this thing's go
over here, I got to get to the hotel.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
I get, you know, just like.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
The constant drain of being on the road. But what's
happened lately is I I've just I've tried to flip
the script and be like this is great, Like they
have to go somewhere, Like you're telling jokes, like calm down,
like is it that important?

Speaker 1 (39:20):
And it's like you're getting to eat.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Like you could eat at any restaurant you want, So
I just get so excited. Yesterday I was I was, well,
you know, it was a horrible day of travel. We
were texting each other and I was stuck. Well I
shouldn't say stuck, but I was. I was in the
Nashville airport for four and a half hours waiting to
get here because of this weather storm. And normally I'd

(39:44):
been like and I was just and this time, just
because that mindset of recalibrating that i'd say over the
last two years, I was like, what are you complaining about?
You got a great book, your favorite restaurant, reading, you're eating,
you're reading, you're eating.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, you stopped in the US office in Nashville. You know,
they were around a high five, like, I'm here, thanks,
thank you me? Yeah, yeah, all right, I love it. Sorry,
so it was a long winded one. No, but it's
it's true. It's true. Like, and I think it's important
to try to stay positive. People always say that too.
It's like, oh, try to stay positive.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
But if you really put the work in to try
to stay positive, it definitely changed it.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Just take a stop. Okay.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
This next one comes from Sam.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
That's all we are.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Time we have Sam.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
Sam asks, is there such a thing as having problems
too early in a relationship?

Speaker 5 (40:44):
Oh that's a great one, Sam, that's a very good
Well here's the thing. What is your threshold to pull
the ripcord?

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Like, because sometimes you could notice something early and be like, oh,
you know, all right, I can maybe tall about this,
maybe try to work on it together with them, you know,
address it with them, being like, hey.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
I don't like this party? Is there? You know? Can
we talk this out and sure? Or is there parts where?

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Like onto the next one, like if you're a weekend
and you find something bad, like you're like, oh.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
You don't want to forget this? I don't. I don't
want to deal with this. I'm out. There's not that
much invested. You could cut you can know.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
You could, yeah, yeah, cut it out early, but you
might be walking away from your your forever.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
So it's a hard it's a tricky, a slippery slope,
if you will. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
I think this is what some would call red flags, Yes,
red flight. Am I seeing enough red flags? But it's
also like or.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Good or a huge red flag? Huge? It could be
one flag.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Yeah, But every relationship is just it's it's all based
on almost like this algorithm of experiences you had from
every prior relationship you've had. Right, So if you're twenty,
it's like really, I mean, do you do you.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Know that many red flags?

Speaker 3 (41:56):
But if you're like thirty, that's a different set of circumstances, right,
because it's like I've been through the gauntlet. I know
what I want, I know personally what I appreciate, what
I don't appreciate. And I think it also depends how
old you are at that time. So I think if
you're younger, you have a lot more tolerance for those things.

(42:16):
If you're older, you have a shorter gap of tolerance.
So I would think that if you personally feel like, boy,
I'm kind of overwhelmed with here, it's probably not worth it,
absolutely not worth it.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Wow, Yeah, I mean I think every I mean, that's
a great question.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
But she got a great ass. It's like you got
to write it out, write a hot hand. You gotta
see it. You gotta see those cheeks.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
How about that.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Let me see them once, give me a whiff.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
You got them.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
I need a one cheeks, I say, pop a cheek out,
see it, let me smack it.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
I would say people have said that's what your wife
said about you. Actually the way.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
You needs to see a cheek. I think it's important
to I think there. I think it is too early.
I think it's always too early to pull.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I would say, if.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
You're a week in and like you run away because
you've seen something without even trying to like address it,
I would say you should probably try to address it.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
You probably should try to say something.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
So I would say the answer is, I think there
is such a thing of pulling, you know, pulling the.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Book too early on something.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
I would definitely give it a go if you feel
like you should, you know, and then if it doesn't correct,
go Like if you say something and you don't get
a response, or you know something you don't see potential
that it could work itself out.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Sure, go, but at.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Least say something. I would say, Yeah, I think it's
try to communicate it.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
I think anytime there's issues, it's like they're pushing boundaries
that and it's up to you to communicate it or not.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Right.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
Yeah, And if you don't, then it builds resentment and
then one day it just comes out like an avalanche,
like WHOA, where's all this coming from? Right? Since your point, yeah,
you absolutely want to nip it in the butt pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Did you ever get to a point with your your
current wife, not the other one?

Speaker 1 (43:56):
The other one ever? Remember? Do you know something I don't?

Speaker 3 (44:00):
I was married to missus tyson, missus Tyson, and you're.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Gonna fight it the win.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Did you have a did you have a moment where
you almost it was almost over?

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Did you guys almost part ways were you were dating?

Speaker 3 (44:13):
No? No, No, I just like with Jess, I just
kind of knew it was just like all right, I'm done,
Like you know, especially at that time, I was so
tired of dating.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
I was so run and and and being cold and
run through old and run through.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
And ragged and flabby.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
So you're like, thank god, I fooled this one.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Yeah all right, no never you uh yeah, Bessie, You
and I, you know, I talked about it with the
on the Q episode about you know, she packed her
boxes and we were like, didn't think we're gonna be
able to work through, but thankfully we were able to.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
But I think that was a part of like we were.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
That was a long time and we were you know,
at that point, I think a year and a half dating.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Or so. But I think that I.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Think the big part is like communications, So we always
talk about how important that is.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
So I would say, at least try to communicate it
and if it doesn't work out, then pack up and
run absolutely.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Yeah, yeah, all right.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
Okay this next for one more, Let's do one more.
This one comes from Rebecca. Hey, moms, I'm a senior
in high school and I'm scared about how my life
will change after graduation.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
First off, send me a picture, got that? What How
do you deal with change? How do deal with change? Oh?

Speaker 3 (45:22):
In high school?

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Everything's changed.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
What's her name again?

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Rebecca Vacsy. We call it Besy.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
We call it vacscy bechsy Beccy. Come on, you got
so much road ahead of you.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
For sure, enjoy it. Yeah, it's definitely gonna be scary.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
I think also, you know, if you're going to college
or not going to college, Like that's the first major thing, right,
it's two totally different fears.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
If you're not going to college, you have no idea
what you're gonna do with yourself. If you're going to college,
you don't know what you're doing yourself.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
At least you have some structure, but then you're it's
a whole new experience, right, it's going to be a
college person. I will say that it is very important
with who you select to surround yourself with.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
That's the biggest thing I can.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Advise you to do right now correctly is surround yourself
with people that either bring you up or you could
help bond in a good way with. I think that's
really important, and especially in these formative years of post
high school through early college, when you're really becoming the
person you're going to be. Yeah, to surround yourself with
good people, people that make you better, push you, and
just a group you could laugh and have I'm.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
With, especially at that age. Yeah, for sure, especially at
that age, because it's.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
Such a you know, eighteen nineteen twenty, that's where like
you're really going to decide where the compass points.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Sure, it's like you could be.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Those kids that just party and booze, and it's five
years later and people have degrees and then you're like, wait,
I shouldn't have been doing Oh, you know, you want
to surround yourself again to your point, bring you up
motivated people that are driven, people that have some foresight
of something, even as ridiculous as something maybe if they

(46:50):
want to accomplish or dream whatever. Yeah, these are one
hundred percent the best years of your life. When you're
eighteen to like thirty, you.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Don't have money.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Big window, big window, but you're not gonna have money,
or even late twenties, I should say, you're not gonna
have any money. You're gonna you're gonna be with people
that are experiencing the same things you are, which is
all your first your first job, your first real love,
your first like interview, your first real like all these things.
It's I think that is the most kind of like

(47:22):
romantic period of anybody's life because you're dreaming of like
what can be. And eventually what you do is you
discover you're in your twenties or thirties and you're just
living life in that fast lane.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
You know.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
But I'm talking to these guys, Yeah, living life.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Maybe I got time for the holiday, I'm allan. I
would say, you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
If you're surrounding people, I would say the number one
attribute that I look for somebody that at that time
I would think is ambition.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Yeah. I think if you're surround yourself with people with
ambition even now.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
In life, you know, people who weren't achieve stuff and
are working toward a goal, you know, I think that's
really important. Ambition is a very underrated personality trait of people.
I think people in your circle need ambition. If you
surround yourself with people who are trying to achieve things,
you'll just be.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
Better, right right, Look, it makes you push yourself, right, Sure,
that's the benchmark.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
There is a keeping up with the joneses a little bit,
which is good that way, Like you see what people
you look around, You're like, people are accomplishing these things, right,
you know, maybe I should be doing something or at
least have a goal or try to do something here.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
You know, Look, you don't have to have it all
figured out.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
You're not going to even what you think you have
figured out when I mean I was an accounting degree,
I was an accounting major thinking I was going to
work for a big six firm.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
No, like, not at all.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
You know, you have no idea what you're going to do.
You know you're just going to try to start. You
set yourself up for success by developing the person and
the human you are.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Yeah, Becksy, you have who got you?

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Becksy? Life is not a sprint, It's a marathon. Enjoy
every day. Enjoy every mistake, Enjoy every every horrible relationship.
