Welcome to cool Moms.

a guest of us that have a special guest that
by accident literally.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Texting I accident, yeah, but from n SYNC Chris Kirkpatrick's
here today a gentleman.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I met you in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
We're both from Pittsburgh and we we initially met every other,
you know, Joe saying how do you how do you
guys meet? And I just thought it was a funny story.
How one week we're playing one week you're doing this.
You can explain, you know, we're playing flag football field
and then the very next week.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Next week softball. I break my hand, which was really
We played flag football with Deebo, Ben heinz Woard, Troy Polamalo.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
All the DJ Harrison heinz Ward, all these guys and
him and I and Pat Monna hand.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
We were put on the Generals right, they had their
own team that they selected. They were their team, but
they did give us coach Tomlin, but he kept calling
us the generals. I'm like, we can hear you, like,
you know, you're saying that out loud, right, it's right.
And we had a bunch of YouTubers and we just
kept pretending like there weren't enough flags to go around. So,
oh no, he's going in no flags. He can't go
(01:21):
in the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Games around flag football event, literally the flag on the play.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't make a touchdown right now because
you can't tackle me. I'm tackleable.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
So then a week later, but so a week later,
he's I'm literally watching I'm a Jimmy Kimmel's. Okay, they
have this huge screen at Jimmy Kibble's and you can
watch all the games and stuff. So for some reason,
TMZ's on and they show they show Chris at a
charity softball event in Nashville, and he gets he like
he goes crashing the home plate.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Right, No, No, I was home plate. I was catching
I think you know, I've been telling it. I actually
just got the cast off. But I think this guy wasn't.
He was really really sweet guy, really nice guy. Looper right, Looper,
I think his name was really nice guy. We were
talking beforehand, but I was playing catcher because I thought
(02:15):
this is fun. I know most of my friends were
actually on the other team, so I just wanted to
talk smack the whole time to all of them. So
I'm like, what better place than the catcher than the
talk smack. So I'm sitting there talking smack and I
think our team was winning, like fourteen, fifteen to three
or something like that, and there was a play coming
in and I saw this guy run and I'm like, oh,
he's not an athlete, Like I can see him rounding third.
(02:39):
This is not his thing. So I see where home
plate is and I took like two steps behind home plate,
like even if there's a play, he's going to slideway
up there. We're gonna be fine. And I saw the
pitcher going to get the ball, like we're going to
make a play. And I don't know how long it took,
but in my head it was a really long time
because I had a conversation with the pitcher in my head, going,
you know what, fifteen to two. I think we're good.
(03:03):
This guy getting in, let's just I'm not wearing equipment.
You know, none of us are really athletes, so to speak.
Let's just let him have this, but no, he goes
to make a play and I catch the ball and
I think when I went to brace myself, I just
you know, it was like awkwardly because I saw it
and it wasn't like a big smash. It was just
like I get up and I'm acting like I.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Was like falling wrong. Yeah, falling wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That's what happens at our age. You know. It's like
you get you get to this age and it's not anymore.
It's like that curb is a lot higher than it
used to be. You know, I got to make sure
you're consciously thinking about stepping off of curbs.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It's like I sit down to put my socks on. Yeah,
oh well I sit down and you gotta get.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Up yourself and get up yeah, or anything with your
shoes anytime you're down there and you're like or make
the noises.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
You my kids like, dude like tie his own shoes.
I'm like when it was like four, like tyr old shoes?
Speaker 2 (04:00):

Speaker 3 (04:01):
She was like I don't. I'm like I can't get
I can't get up. But do you want me to
live down? Like you go to school? Bamfoot don'tay?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I hate did we become parents too. That's the worst part.
It's like, you know, all the things you're saying to
your kids now you're always like, oh, I'm talking like
my dad.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I got my wife yesterday because she my son said
something and my daughter said something to her and she
she snapped back, and my daughter goes, Mom, I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You know, mom, sometimes I'm scared of you.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And my wife went, you should be and I, oh
my god, did you just see something?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Hysterically lamp all together? It was so funny. But that
is like such a mom saying, or dad say all time.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Wait till your father gets home. That was our old
timers one, right.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I was afraid of my mom
growing up.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Really, I only have my mom so did thirty years
and I'm like, I don't think this is happening.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Your full ship, your water gets home. I'd love to
meet him. Yeah, yeah, tell me trickle Christmas gifts, Christmas
breaking vases on purpose. Maybe this is how I'm going
to find out who my dad really is. But she
(05:15):
was like the old too.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
She was well, I probably don't want to call her out,
but you know that's that was a time when we
got hit. Yeah, Yeah. My sisters were stupid and decided
that they needed to take up the baton. Had a
lot of batons laying around the house, and me being
the oldest and the only boy, I was like, to
this day, I see baton twirl, isn't it? Everybody walks
(05:41):
by every parade.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I've got a helmet, kids are happy, and he's the
only one crying. It was beautiful. So what year was
after you guys met? What that was?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
We just met like two months ago?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Two months ago?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, and and and you know again, I was going
to Nashville and then meeting him and then and then
uh maybe like two weeks later, I had my show
at Zany's and I invited you down did the.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Big cast on and yeah, okay, can we talk about this?
We really haven't seen each other. First of all, the
Red Clay Strays.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I believe ador. Yeah it's a band.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah yeah, the band that was there. They're doing their
album release in Nashville. I don't know if you're going.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I got a text. I think I'm out of town.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
But these guys incredibly gifted, like really stripped down roots
kind of country Alabama. Yeah at a mobile Alabama, big
comedy fans.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So funny because then they saw and they came to
your show.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
They came to my show, and then they met and
they did Christier's.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Podcast after that they thought they were performing.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
We Love Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
But then yeah, but what we hung out that night
and it was a it was a great not It
was one of those nights where everything.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Came together, right, so strays come down, but I don't
know about everything came together.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well. First of all, First of all, Bill came together.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah. First of all, he comes up. He's like, man,
I do this bit if we could do it, and
I don't want to tell all your bits there, but
it's horrible and it's no I'm kidding. It was like
a you know, the I'm gonna love you forever thing.
I'm like, all right, that's that's hilarious, and and it
worked and it was funny. And then I'd known through
a mutual friend of ours that you did the boy
band thing at the end, and I'm like, oh, this
(07:20):
is where it's going to be really funny. So what
I was thinking was I'm going to be here with
him and we're going to call some people up and
he's going to be asking me like even jokes that
tell him, oh, no, I'm one of those people. I
saw him. I saw your face turn from hey, this
is my buddy to hey, this is a random audience
member who is up.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Here, and your name was going to be so oh.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I saw it. It just dropped all the knowledge, all
the friendship just left your face and I became stranger.
And he's like, so, here's what we're gonna do. And
I'm looking around like you're gonna die after this. And
that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was
we do all this and I'm like, Okay, that's cool.
My wife's there, she's sitting with your wife. I'm like,
this would be great. Let me go back and sit down.
(08:03):
You're like, no, no, no, no, stay here, stay up here.
And I love you. Know, some of my best friends
are comedians. Comedy. You guys are amazing. Like I love comics.
I love hanging out with comics. You know, it's just
always fun. You can always joke around, you can always
be yourself whatever, and.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
He's stay here. But something did a great job selling
my merch.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I did a great job merchant making it valuable.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
But no, that's it doesn't matter because I was thinking
when you just asked how long we known each other
at that point it had been four weeks, maybe four weeks.
And he's standing there and he goes, hold on, I
have some friends of mine coming in. And I looked around,
and you know, it was normal night at Zany's the balcony.
Nobody was even in the balcony. Was, you know, one
of your normal shows. But he calls, sitting on play
(09:08):
tickets available, and then in watch walks Bert and Nate
Bergazi and and the four of them just start going
and they're telling old stories. Remember when you were drunk, Steve,
and you were in the house for two days. And
I'm thinking up there, like, I have zero stories about
(09:30):
any human on the stage right now. I don't even
know why. I'm like, I don't know the other three.
I met Steve a couple of weeks ago, and you're
all like old buddies, old professional buddies who do this
for a living. And I'm standing there and my wife goes, I.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Felt so bad for you. You just looked out of place.
The highway.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I thought I held my own a little bit. I
tried to throw it.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You were great, though, And then and then Bert had
asked you a question.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I think I had asked you a question because literally
all of us are on stage, but he's the most
successful one of all of us. Sure, I mean for sure,
I mean going back how many years now? I mean fifteen,
twenty years, it's just.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
More thirty. Really, it's been twenty years since we've done
anything together.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
So that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
It's so funny because even when I when I go
through Time score to this day, panhandling, flipping.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Your guitar, cand how to play ukuleles.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
But even even now, when I go through Times Square,
my twenties, my core like New York Memory.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Years, oh trl trl, and every.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Time I go through time scare, even today, I was
telling my kids, I go, I go. You guys have
no idea, Like MTV was right. There was the biggest
thing in the world. And I remember the day because
I lived in Hell's kitchen, and I remember the day
you guys broke like a record or something. For most people,
like they shut down Times Square because you guys showed up.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It was like your second album or something like that.
It was crazy. That's gotta be a shutdown Times Square well, and.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Wear a mask in social distance. There's actually been some shows.
I'm doing that Pop two thousand show. There's actually been
some shows that we've done where I go out and
there's like six hundred people or something like that. I'm like,
we should tell them COVID's big here. So they space out.
I look a lot more packed. Look at all the
people here. They are three feet apart. But you know,
(11:31):
don't worry about that.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You and I go back further than four weeks. Yeah,
so him and I. I don't know if you remember in.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Two thousand and three already, I don't in Red Bag,
New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Hold on a second, I thought it was SOUD. It
was called Pakito Bendito is Dead. Sally Q wrote a script.
We're filming it.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I was living in La.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Their director drive it out the last minute they had
you book. They flew from La to direct it. Yeah,
and I directed you in the final scene.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah. What happened to that?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
They that is gone forever? It was well.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Actually the actress that you had, one of the actresses
in that was a producer buddy of mine's wife. Oh yeah,
And he was like, hey, you're in Jersey right, I'm
like yeah, He goes, do you want to come out?
And do this movie. And I was like yeah, I
mean sure.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So the movie ends with the thing if you want
Chris Kirkpatrick, just just something, he'll be there.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeaheah, this this is my life.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It was, it was I didn't know anything about it
because they literally called me and I booked.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
The next day. They sent me the script. They said,
is the script? Could you direct it?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
And like we have the placebooked will be out thousands
of dollars?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Could you do it?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
And I was like sure, I'll figure it out. On
the plane, I broke down the script. I got there,
we did it, and then I remember the last scene.
It was like the whole idea was like Salent Q
were on a date next to each other and and
sal I think sal the girls I was on day
with left and here was the export the crazy ex
boyfriend like spying on.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And then he come in as her blind date or
something like that. Those things real, actually, those things are real.
They were like, what are that's that's up for an
emmy right there? Like that an oscar? But those things
real people to thank Thank you, guys, I'd like to
(13:29):
thank her RL.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yes please.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That is before you guys were anything and you still
did that.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
That's that's nice. He was that was it. We did that.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And then they go and Joey get Joey to do
all their stuff for him instead of me. I'm like,
Joey's like and we Actually. The funny thing is Joey
and I are really close and we do a lot
of shows together, and you know, whether wherever we are,
it's always like he'll call me, hey, can you come
in and do a couple of songs. I'm like, yeah,
can you come in and do a couple of songs? Whatever.
So we always do a lot of stuff together, and
(14:01):
I did a few years ago. I did Celebrity Big Brother.
And I walk around and now it's like really weird
because I have people coming up to me all the
time like I don't really know about the band, but
I saw your Celebrity Big Brother. It's got that kind
of following. So now when Joey and I are together,
we both joke if we're doing like a comic con
or whatever it is, We're like, who's going to have more?
Me from Celebrity Big Brother or you from the Jokers?
(14:23):
Because I mean, when I'm with him, people don't even
They're like, I don't know either one of you guys.
But that guy's on the Jokers, and it's like crazy
because he's got a new claim to fame now, which
he you know now he can't look him in the eye.
And yeah, certain flavored Eminem's and the dressing room.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So we did that. We did the show with them,
the after party show.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It was the interview show, and we would always just
you know, do the episodes again. We split it up
or it was always two of us because when we
did one more, it was all of us and it
was just too tough. It's too many people talking. So like,
you know, why let's just banging out in a different way.
We'll pair up and do stuff whatever. So every time
we were like he'd be going over the scripts and
stuff in the back and whatever, and I was like,
you know, we're not going to say any of this.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
What are you talking about? We're not gonna do any
of this. I was like, we're just gonna get going
and start talking.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I like the second season, he was like, okay, just
what what what is?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Just throw it to this.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
He's like one of you guys though he really is,
is that New York guy that is just like he fits.
He does into what you guys do well.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
He literally got thrown into the fire the first time
gonna visit set. They he was just like, oh did
he do Yeah, let him do my turn? He was
he was just coming as a visitor and really they
just make him do my turn or whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
He just went in.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
We did Mark's, Jiggy's. Yeah, it tastes funny, and we
we were just hanging up back to stay. I said
about the boy band, do you want to jump up
and do the thing? He's like yeah, great, and I go.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Did you look at him like you didn't know him too?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I had him stay on stage when Seinfeld and Chappelle
came out.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, we just shocked it up. It tastes funny.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
But but then I was like, I was like, oh, well,
you know, let's do like a little Q and A
with the audience. He's like, okay, great and he he
he has just great time. He was awesome. And it
was one of those things about himself. There's there's a there's.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
A handful so you do know Joey and he usually
goes into the yeah like that, I'm saying more like
you know, the sex talk or whatever. You know, Joey's
been to throw that stuff out, which is.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
What joe and you know, I never had a sex
talk together.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Okay, sorry to interrupt you, but the funny thing is
like with him and this has happened to me on
more than one occasion, and I can't figure it out.
I always feel like I've got pretty good. I think
I'm funny, you know, but everybody probably thinks they're funny
and that's why they do what they do. But so
I think I'm funny and I do things and then
(16:44):
I hear Joey walk up and Joey just says something.
I'm like, how have you not been canceled? Like how
do you how do you walk up to a woman
and sometimes just throw out what you throw out? And
they're like, oh, he's so indeed, he's so funny and
all this stuff like that. So I'm thinking I've got
way better timing than joe I can do this. And
I walk up and say it, and I become the
(17:05):
creepiest person in the room. Like it's suddenly like oh
my again, yeah yeah, And normally joe he's just looking
at me, gone, So where.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Are you from?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I got a great friend named Michael Connell just because
of the story. Michael Connell's this Chicago comic best friends
with Ken Jung. Went to Tulane together, Okay, and they
did this viral video together and that's how. Anyways, so
Michael Michael Connell talks into Shakespeare inn accent for some reason.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He's like, hello, how are you. It's a pleasure to
meet thee. Like, it's really weird.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
So we do the show together and he's great. He's
a very talented guy, performs barefoot. He's just he's he's
like an Ai Kaufman type of comic. Right, So we
do the show and Live Tyler, who was stunning, comes
with her aunt, who's.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Stephen Tyler's daughter, Tyler like Lord of the Rings, you
know whatever.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
She's sorry, sorry, great time, but gorgeously and and her
and her aunt's there and she's you know, maybe probably
in her fifties at the time or whatever, but she
was like a really well put together young lady. So
we meet them after the show. I go, Mike, this
is living this is all. She goes, oh, this is
my aunt Carol. And Mike go's ladies and he looks
(18:22):
at Live Tyler. He goes, Miss Tyler and he goes
to the aunt. He goes, young lady, I would love
to pull you into an alley and perform cuddlingas on you.
What the fuck did you just say to Carol?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Was I mean? I went?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I just met liv Tyler, just met her and this
is the first impression.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
This is my good friend Michae O'Connell. Did they go
to it was.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The story back.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Literally my jaw dropped, and then the aunt was dying, laughing,
dying laughing, because.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Again it's I think sometimes it's.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
So outrageous, it's like, who whatever, But that's what you
think until you try it, right, that's right. I always
think I could be really outrageous.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Right now, I think it's.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
What anything though it doesn't have to be that, but
just when something doesn't land the way you wanted it
to be. Doesn't necessarily have to be that kind of
thing in nature, but just sometimes when like because when
a room goes quiet after the last speak on a joke,
because there's no worst for al of that.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Were like, but I think I think the worst feeling
to that is if you went there the joke. If
you just do a normal joke and a bombs you're
just like.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Well I would say that too, but so but like
even something with slight racism or something.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
To it, I think that's where it's like, oh man,
that's where people start talking.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Now you have a podcast though, right now with Brian
back in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Do you want to tell us about it?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, I'm gonna get you guys on it is what
I want to do actually in Nashville. Yeah, I'm working
with Yeah, yeah, we do. We do this one called
name Drop and it's a lot of fun. It's like, yeah,
name Drop and all we do is we bring a
bell and it's me and Brian mcpaden, who used to
be one of the mt v v j's on those
(20:13):
days of t r L and stuff, and you know,
we've had some great guests and we basically he starts
in with just the normal, Hey, how are you doing?
This is all about, you know, your life. We talk
about them a little bit, and then we just want
to hear stories. Then it's just like tell us stories
that when you're out promoting stuff you don't normally hear
because you know, you guys, you do the circuit and
(20:35):
you're like, oh man, I just ran into so and so,
but I'm here talking about the new X Men movie
or you know whatever, not that you guys would be
an x Men, but you know it's it's one, but
you know it's Jason and your punchline. That was a
(20:59):
great show. You like, that's a great but yeah, that's
and that's.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Basically perfect because it's an excuse to actually, yeah, normally
you're inhibited to not I shouldn't say this or whatever.
But but that's the one spot. And I thought that
was such a great a great idea for a podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
You're encouraged to do it. Yeah, you're encouraged.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
And you guys know, being in the business, it's like
you're talking to some of your friends sometimes and you
feel like a heel because you're like, oh my god,
I'm name dropping Joey Fatone. You know, not that I
would do that, but you know, it's like one of
those things that you're like, do I and I've done it.
Like and being a parent now it's it's even more
(21:43):
crazy because now you're dealing with your.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Kids kids at the birthday party.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, the birthday party is talking to them and you're there,
they're telling stories.

Don't you guys have a connection here?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
I used to do like a charity event for Team
Gamez in the fall, so I used.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
To do like, yeah, yeah, I knew I recognized you.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
I used to like bomb at the comedy at the
pairings party the night before the golf event, which was
always set up for like the worst environment for stand
up to be, like the prime ribs out and the
sponsored by Europe just like eat ship. But uh yeah,
but the golf was where it was always fun. But
I went to college to Orlando, so we're at Rolins College.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I went to actually transferred over to the night school
in Rowlands, n You used to have a night school
Hamilton Hole. Yeah, when I went to Hamilton home, I
went to But so when I said Valencia, you knew
what I was talking about? Yeah Valencia. Yeah, se community
college made I.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Phone of this of the show is really Joe and
I always got doble maternal advice before we dip into
it here with Mark, what are some thoughts the minute
we bring up, like when you think of your mom
and your what are.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Just she's alive.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Okay, that makes of them to you.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Thanks for bringing up.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
We did have a scare though, Yeah, Scar, she got it. Yeah,
she got a pacemaker put in a few weeks ago,
and she's been you know, saying.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Now she's got to be pulled out of the security lines.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, that's it's with her anymore.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Blooper ran into her, bring her out.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Became Blooper.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
She was playing shortstop Blooper.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
That's the villain Jamison. I got to stay away, I thought.
But so she's ok now, but what are you? What
are you?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
What are like besides for the batons?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And yeah, yeah, yeah of course.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And she you know, it was I have four sisters
and I'm the oldest, and I was. She was sixteen
when I was born, so you know, we kind of
grew up a little bit together, and you know we
spent a lot of times struggling very badly in trailer
parks or welfare or whatever. It was so but really
really strong person, like you know, she always she had
(24:18):
to play the father and mother. My dad. I still
talk to my dad. He was apparently I think he was,
but he was in the Peace Corps, you know, he
traveled a lot, so he was kind of hippyish and
did his thing, which was awesome. And now we have
a relationship again with that that I have my son.
But yeah, my mom has always been that solid person.
So to see things that happened to them now you're like, oh,
(24:42):
you know, Mom, why do I have to walk you
onto the plane. I'm like, you're a mom, Like you're
the one that right any batons on you or anything
already checked, he's gonna be okay.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
If you were like, if like you had, would you
say that your mother was somebody would seek advice from,
like when you were.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I think it was almost deeper than that, Like it
wasn't even advice. It was like everything I knew was
because of my mom, Like everything I believed, you know,
I grew up now and I think about some of
the things that I used to think as a kid,
and I was like, man, the Backstreet Boys don't have
(25:31):
great music. You know, it's she, you know it was.
She was very very hippie liberal, you know, that type
of deal, and I'm more middle of the road. And
it was weird to hear her takes on certain things,
like I remember one in particular about golf courses and
how you know they're horrible things for the I'm like,
(25:53):
they're actually good for the environment. And I'm a member now,
you know, So there's a lot. I don't think it
was advice as much as it was just like everything
I learned about life came through her.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You know, her to see your success had to be
super sweet then too, because she saw, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
It was.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It was amazing. The whole family too, you know, all
that side of the family, there's all musicians. And of
course there was the first part, Oh, he's never gonna
make it. He doesn't have the talent that cousin Joey
does or whoever, you know. But then it was can
we get tickets to the show? Whatever the big worldly
dome is in the place.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Were playing this stadium.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
What was the first thing you like, like, as you're
attaining success and you you finally get like a foothold,
You're like, I think I'm gonna be good. What was
like that first thing you did for your mom?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I bought her house. I bought her house, and like
it almost made me cry because I had it all.
I went and looked at the house, and she's still
in the house today. I went and looked at houses
and then I went and bought a welcome Matt and
I taped a picture of the house underneath the welcome.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
At no Way.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, and I had her open the big package and
she's a welcome at My Mom's like, well, you know
this is going to go good in my apartment or whatever.
And I'm like, hey, am I going It'll be fine?
So yeah, that was, dude, what great?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
And I bought all my sisters a car, their first cars,
so that's great.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Oh that's awesome, man.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I mean, you know, we really it was. It was
hard sledding, it was. And especially it's crazy because I
didn't grow up in a big city.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I grew up in a farmtown in farmtowns in Pennsylvania, Ohio.
And it's always hard to describe to people because you know,
I lived in We lived in trailer parks there. We
had one trailer had a hole in the side and
when it snowed, we'd pile up the laundry so the
snow didn't come into the trailer. You know, we had
no money. And when you're country poor, it's different than
city poor. City poor. You go to school and you
(27:48):
get free lunches. Well, you and about eighty of your
buddies are all hanging out with your free lunches, going
what did you get today?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Would you? You know?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Your country poor is just you. Yeah, and they hand
you those brown tickets instead of the red tickets, and
you got to go through. I didn't eat, you know,
I was like playing in the gym. I'm like, it's
too embarrassing. So yeah, so she really was like the matriarch.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
And to have her to have a child at sixteen,
you know, you think back like your father's in the
Peace Corps. Just I don't know the backstory, but obviously
it's so easy for us to go it was a
different time.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah, it really was a different time.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
But still to be sixteen years old, to have not
a penny in your pocket and bring up four four kids,
five to five kids us, my god, can you imagine
being sixteen? And I can't even I can't even write
my head around that.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I can't even I can't even imagine tying if I
could tie my shoes when I was sixteen.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I was like, I want to help them. I want
to get up.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yes, sixteen, I mean even even in college, you know,
I remember, you know, certain scares if you had a
girlfriend or something. She's like, I think I'm pregnant. Like, no,
I don't know what I'm doing, no idea, what is
going to happen to my world?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
You know this is right.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I waited till I was old. Yeah, to have kids.
I know what I'm doing that.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
First first, so he's six, so six, Yeah, twelve years ago.
I'm good with Matt. I went to Valencia. I just
have one.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Well, we can't thank you enough for being here. This
is the part of the show. Get maternal and channel
our moms and give some advice. Mark, you're gonna walk
us through here.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Yeah, I got our first question come from Scottie B
on the email.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
The email.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
We should plug the email. The email is too cool.
Moms pod at gmail dot com. You want to give
us your queries and dilemmas.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
With queries and dilemas, I thought we'd go with one
from entertainment first, since we have Chris here. So this was, Hey, moms,
you guys have bodyguards when you're performing? Has anyone ever
tried to jump on stage and how did you handle it?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Oh, I mean, I think he's probably gonna have the
worst point. It's like, yeah, they rushed Zany's.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I was selling merch out of my trunk at the
side door and Zany's.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
And I never had to I never had to kick
throat a girl on the a twelve years girl in
the throat.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
I mean, I imagine it's got to be especially a peak.
You guys are just getting hounded every every opportunity. You
just just gotta girls pound on the door everyway.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I'd like to tweak that a little bit for you,
like when it was the first time you realized you
needed security.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Uh So we first we actually started in Europe. So
we went over to Europe and that's where we you know,
got our feet wet the first time we went over there.
I remember we didn't have security and we were with
the we just signed with this German record label. We
were at the show and they're like, yeah, get up,
do a song. Do song. And I don't know if
that was German.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I probably just sound Japanese.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, well everything sounds Japanese too, But it was like
really one of the I'm horrible with accident. But they're like,
you know, go go sing, do what you do. We're like,
all right, we got a couple of a cappella songs
and we're done doing the acapella songs. And there were
girls everywhere screaming, and the record label people are like
pushing them away, and they've got like Orlando Magic jerseys
(30:55):
and all this. We're like, they know us, they were
from Orlando. This is so crazy, Like, how'd you guys
know us? They're like, no, it's the Backstreet Boys are
over here, That's all. I was like, But there's you know,
there's been a lot of we One of the biggest
scares I remember because we always had security every time.
In those days. It was really crazy. You couldn't go
to malls anymore or anything like it out the back.
(31:17):
I went to electronics boutique one time and I had
to go out there. I was buying dreamcasts for all
my security guys. I love that's how long ago it was,
but I had to go out the back door. But
there was one time we were doing a show in Atlanta,
and I remember this and a mom had ended up
calling and turning her own son into the police because
(31:37):
he had a detailed map of where security was everything
and a gun like a whole revolver and was going
to come in and kill us during that show. So
that was you know, that was the first time that
I had ever really hit like, wow, we suck that bad.
Like I'm like, at least go like get justin or
(31:58):
something like he's a cute one. Just what am I?
What am I threatening you?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I'm just electronics.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I'll gets you a dreamcast. Mom made me carry around batons.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I did, I did a we You know.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
The difference I think, uh with the fame that I
have that you have is that I.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Was assuming you guys, I'll just leave.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, if you could just stand there with a microphone,
he's got first and it's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
I think that the thing I will too is that, well,
you you were different than this. That's why I said
that you played a character on TV. You played Steve,
but like I always myself and you were yourself in
a band like and we were always compared to actually
a band more than a comedy troupe, you know, because
we were ourselves. We weren't playing characters. So people felt
like there's a familiarity to you, like when we walk
(32:45):
you get bat let's get a picture like that kind
of stuff, which is different.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
People had a quick level of that with you. They
have to place you, you know what I mean. They have
to be like, oh, that's the guy. He's from the
show to you know something. He plays s like that.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Even though your name was Steve, Well, I think still
just comedy. I my kids, you know, we'll go out
to the mall well and there's always somebody that says something.
But it's always I always tell my kids, I'm familiar,
I'm not famous. That's a great place to be because
it's always how do I know you?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And then that's where.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Is that why you always wear your driver's license on
your shirts? You know me from your IMDb please?
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, he's wearing sunglasses.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
It's funny though, is when when when I after we met,
I came back and I'm like, and of course, Josh,
first of all, it's so weird that I was making
fun of you for getting William hung out there to
replace me, because Josh texts me, are you getting Steve
to replace me? Doing the zanies?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Okay and all that.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
But you know, talking to him. It's it's just always
it's it's crazy that you know, I met you, and
I felt like we've been old friends. And I told
I told my friends and they all went nuts. You know,
they all were like, oh my god, dude, I know him.
And my mom friend Kevin Little. I don't know if
you know who Kevin Little. He's lives in Orlano. You
(34:08):
know Kevin, right, So that's probably how you guys have met,
because Kevin was talking about you, and I told him
I knew you. I think we text you. We were
in the backyard or something, we were texting you. He
was up. But yeah, it's it's cool because you know,
with with us, it is us, but and now with
you it's you though too. You know, you're with people
people know you from comedy and and I can't imagine
(34:29):
being a comedian and the stuff that you guys do,
like how hard that schedule is, and and and hearing
the stories. Oh they got to do it. They want
me in for a tough ten or what you call
a titan, a tough, tight fifteen whatever. Sometimes it's tough
to say, titan.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
When did you This is I just want to ask
you because when you're sitting at a cappelle. What was
the first time you heard you guys collectively together and
you just thought, holy shit, like this is we got
something here?
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Like this all I loved a cappella groups, like I
grew up on acappella music. I was always a big
fan of harmonies and boom yea, I sang it, I
sang do wop at Universal Studios. Oh really yeah, they
were called the Hollywood high Tones. So I and I
also did Christmas carols with an a cappella groups. So
I when Christmas comes around, I know every word to
(35:22):
every Christmas song, all these old fifties and sixties songs.
So I always liked that kind of music. So I
was put in choir in high school. In college, I'd
be putting these bands together. And then when this guy
Lou came and was like, I'll put money behind it,
I'm like, this is my thing, and so many I
mean I was with. I tried to make it happen
for a couple of years before you know, Justin and
(35:44):
JC were even in the band, and then when we
got Joey, it was still a couple more years I think,
till we got Lance. So but we all. You know,
I think the first time we sat down, and it's crazy,
how weird You run into a stairwell or or somebody's
bathroom at a hotel where there's good acoustics and you
have that good reverb and you do harmonies, and it's just,
(36:04):
you know, everybody thinks they're going off to do coke
to Stirwell, let's do a line of.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Guys, I'm.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
It's cool, dude, I just had an eight.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Yeah, it's great, It's gonna be great, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I hope that helps you budding singers out there.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Lines of.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Uha on email Earth, No, it's but the why Usula?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
She has us up on the email.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
She's gotta she's got a question about college.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
She's afraid about going to college because of taking out
loans and they tend to build up, and she doesn't
want to be burdened with a large son of debt
and taking out that much money, and she doesn't want
to be overwhelmed and feel burdened by paying back from thought,
what is your thought on this significant amount of a
loan and going to college in general?
Speaker 3 (37:06):
What should I do? I still think college serves its purpose,
but I don't think you got to pay to play,
and you shouldn't put yourself out too bad because you'll
get the same exp What do you'll get away from college?
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We spoke about this before.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
I think the social aspect, and you grow up and
you're able to solve problems on your own, not being
in your parents' house, or face your own challenges, gett
charge your old schedule.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
All that stuff helps you in life, not necessarily the curriculum.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
So wherever you could get that experience for the best
price would be my advice. I wouldn't go out taking
out one hundred thousand dollars loans to go to a
better school. I mean because you know, like we talked
about it off air before, I have an accounting degree.
You know, we all went to college for different things,
and we don't. You don't necessarily end up where you start.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah, how often do you use that accounting degree and
what you do?
Speaker 2 (37:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
I mean I'm good with math, and I use math,
that's it. But I don't even bounce my own checkbook.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, crept stable, I use the number of.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
There's apps for that.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah. Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
I think college is it was a great experience, but
you know I had friends. I got to get into
Notre Dame, I got to get into Michigan, and then
they end up going to like West Virginia and they
still had just as good of a time. But it really,
I think, really it's more about that independence. Is about
all the social interaction and the friends I had in
college I still have to this day. So I uh,
(38:21):
it was a great experience. But I went to Kent State.
By no means is it like a premier school by
any but but I go back, I'm like, pretty nice
and it was very affordable.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I mean it was like, I think it was like
eight grand a year while it was going on.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
So you're saying, forget the education, find the best party school,
and yeah, yeah, you got to make some friends, you
got to make some relationships.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I would say if you're already worried about being in
the hole and own your mom money, like, don't start
you're gonna start college. We're gonna be regretting it from
day one. That's gonna be tough. So I think if
you're try to, you're gonna do it. Find a way
that you're okay with entering that part of your life
because you're just gonna be dragging around being like already
under the weight of this.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
So it's like there's the business of colleges nowadays where
they're offering like high rise apartments and everything that's on
the campus, and so you're paying for a lot of
the you know, the bullshit that you don't need that's
not really part of the curriculum of the education process itself.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
So be weary of that.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
And I think when you're choosing a school, it's like,
what do you if you really know what you're focused on,
If like ex school specializes.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
In why one hundred percent go for it. You're passionate
about it. Why not?
Speaker 4 (39:28):
But for the most part, I think college really is
about the experience. And I mean half the people I know,
I'd say more than half don't even do anything affiliated.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Or associated with their degree. So our generation versure.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
We were probably the generation that you know back in
the back, as my son calls them, the olden people days.
You know, those days the college education meant something and
you're like, oh, they went there, they went there. But
there's so many careers now where you know, you have
to know what you want to do first, like you
were saying, and if you know what specialized thing you
want to get into. Maybe there's al alternative things now
(40:06):
that you can go through. There's so many, you know,
even the tech colleges, even the little things where you're
getting that experience.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Maybe I'm in a weird business, but you know, I
know in our business a lot of times it's not
oh yeah, we need a new guy for this video.
Where did you go to college? How much experience do
you have or how much you know? And it's the
experience that really, you know, is what they focus on.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Entertainment industry, by the way, like no need just just
p A p A from the jump and learn it
all from the from the upswing.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I heard an accounting college will really get you.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Get your career, get your.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
All right.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
This one is it's anonymous, anonymous. We haven't got one yet.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
That's anonymous.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Uh okay, so anonymous ass. I've been a strange from
my family for the past two years ish. My parents
are very conservative Catholics, and I was kicked out in
early twenty twenty two because I came out as a lesbian.
I thought I had basically accepted the situation for what
it was and just focus on myself in education. Recently,
(41:23):
I graduated with the engineering degree and got accepted into
two top PhD programs in my field. So how can
I overcome the desire for external validation and love, specifically
from a parent. How can I fill that void in
my life from my parents rejection that they caused? Thank
you for being the coolest moms ever?
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Anonymy that I.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Would say, have you tried liking men? They have camps
for the well, send you a camp. We'll send you
a link. Now, I would say, first of all, you
should you.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Should be congratulating yourself with taking the leap and doing
what you did. That's unbelievable. Power taking the power of that,
the the just not knowing how it's going to pan out,
and to come to such a level and make that happen.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
That's kudos to your round of the balls room. The
mom's for you there. So if you need a validation,
there's your there it is. I think I think you've
already done it.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
I do get the idea about the love we all
want to make our parents, that's innate in humans. But
sometimes your parents don't deserve that love if they don't
accept who you are. And that's the hardest pilled as well.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Sometimes it takes time though too.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
Yes, sure, right, there's you know where you're at in
the world, but sometimes it takes somebody else, you know,
a little bit to catch up.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
They catch up.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
So I think you you you, you know, obviously unbelievable
to do, have been accepted in two different programs, right, yeah,
you're on your way so professionally and independently. It sounds
like she's definitely on her way to doing exactly what
she needs to do to provide a great background for
herself and a profession for herself. And I think via
(42:52):
that as you get older, you know, bring your parents
back in the fold for sure.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Checking in is fine, but you can't make people love you. Yes,
but why do you look at me like that way?
Because I didn't want to say anything. Sorry, I got it,
I got it, I got it, I get it, I
get it.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
I know where you're going.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
I would say, that's that's my two cents. It is.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
It is sad though, too, that because you know she's
taking this as her burden and it's actually her parents burden. Yes,
you know, And that's that's the hardest part is you
can't change, you know, spots as they say or whatever.
You know, it's like, but it's her parents, Like it's like,
that's your child. You know, you have kids like that,
that's the most important thing, Like you accept them for
(43:37):
who they are and whatever.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
It is all a sad like I don't care. My
kids are right over in the other office.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
I don't care if my son.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
I don't care if he grows up and he becomes
cis gender and marries an individual that is transition from
another sex into whatever sex that that individual is now
attracted to, and they get married under the banner of
a Catholic church, as long as they're the same race.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
I don't care. I was, and I couldn't agree more
my shot.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Yeah, no, I do think that's a very good point
my friend here makes about it being not that your
birden can carry, but it's all you know, So I
think you're right too to see people time to change,
especially if they're so hard coordinate beliefs, and when they
realize their beliefs are wrong, then you'll be.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
There to laugh at them.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
Or give them tickets to your show.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
Gota give you a point to come and give you
a clean point. Because there was a camera issue and
we don't want everybody to know that.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Let's leave it in.
Speaker 5 (44:55):
Okay, last question, Last question, Last question. Teresa hits us
up on the Instagram account. She's got a toddler. She
got a toddler that's three on Instagram?
Speaker 2 (45:05):
What do we jiggy?
Speaker 5 (45:06):
Two cool moms pod there, she's got a toddler. She's
got a toddler that's three. She takes the toddler to
the store. Any advice on how to handle the kids
in the store. She hates sitting in the cart and
loves walking around with mommy, so she wants to hear
from her two cool moms how to handle kids in
the store.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Gotcha, that's always that gives a lot of people anxiety.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
I am on the team, especially like when I see
people come on on a plane with a kid or
the word a kid, I'm like, they have a kid,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
You know.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
I think a lot of it is put out by
people on their self and they're like, you know, just
let your kid. If you kid wants to walk around,
let your kid walk around with you. You know, just
make sure you know where they go. Put one of
those weird leashes on them, you know, something like those
whole poons.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
You see Disney kid will walking around.
Speaker 6 (45:50):
He's trying to im I'm Asian, so we just blow
dart with Jimmy's got too far. Yeah, so I would
do the I would.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
I would.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
You're gonna expend more energy fighting what a kid wants
to do, and the result at the end is like
because you think they have to be in the cart.
But if I always try to take a step back
and be like, why why are you having this fight
because you think your kid should be in the cart?
Speaker 2 (46:18):
You can't clear doesn't want.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
To be put the food in the cart. Like, I'm
just as long as the kid's safe and whatever.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
I think.
Speaker 3 (46:23):
You expend a lot of energy as a parent trying
to make it the way you think it should be
instead the way it's easiest for everybody, right.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Or make it a game, you know, if whatever you
need those kids that age, you know my son, I know, well,
first of all, he always I'm like, don't you like
riding at the front of the cart, So he'd stand
on the front of the cart, so he'd always put
his foot down. I'd run him over and it's like, oh,
it's too much. But you know, whatever you need, like
I'm gonna need this, so maybe have them go, oh,
(46:49):
could you find me this? And so it makes them
feel like they're being grown up and they're doing something
and kind of keeps them around to like, oh, I
got to be here because dad might need this or
he might need this.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah. I think if you can be inclusive, you know,
and making part of the process.
Speaker 4 (47:03):
But I think also when you're out in public, you
always feel like this inhibition of like insecurity, like I
don't want to bother anybody. But every time I'm at
the airport and I see a parent and their kids
are running around, it's like, I totally get it. Let
them burn it all off because they're gonna be confined
for like four hours. So I think you have that
free license. But then we have friends like.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
He walk like, give me your kid, help you you're
flying today.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
But I don't say I'm Steve Burne. I say hi,
I'm Kevin Spacey Asian Kevin Spacey.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
I think I think you're due.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
I think I think you're right though, because there's nothing
feels better as a parent, especially in those younger years.
You know, we our kids a little bit older and now,
so we got past a lot of it, but like
the two and whatever, when your kid is just you know,
they're horrendous humans and you're like, oh, and somebody just
comes up and was like, I got you pal, like
just a look dad across, you know, a dad in
their trenches together and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
But there's also a difference between single people or people
with no kids and people with kids, for sure, because
I was I was there back in the day. You
see a kid or you see, oh, I'm going on
a plane, this baby's gonna cry. Now that you're a parent,
you're like, oh, man, I got you. Whatever you I'll
trip him if he starts running this way to get away,
(48:19):
because when you know, you know, when you see those
glares too, you're like your dog parent, aren't you.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
You're a parent with you see that stress, you see
the frustration, you're like, totally get it.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
You totally remember those years. And it's when you're in
the thick of it, you're in the trench.
Speaker 4 (48:34):
You're like, God, it's it's the worst, but remove from
it because it's every year is different, right, every year kid.
Those first three or four though, the first two especially,
God bless the women.
Speaker 1 (48:45):
Because they're too dumb to know what they're running away from?
Speaker 2 (48:51):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (48:52):
What does this do?
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Dad?
Speaker 1 (48:53):
On the planet life? How many times you see these moms?
You know, if you're on the plane, you see a
mom come with like four kids and she's got them
wrangled and you're just like wow, yeah, like superhero right there,
how do you do that?
Speaker 4 (49:09):
Totally wrangle in them all under control? But then the
minute they come in, just put in the ipadsye.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
So I would I would say to.
Speaker 3 (49:17):
Our our friend that you should probably try to make
it the least stressful for both you and your child
and keep the kids safe, and then that's going to
be the easiest way to be out in public with
the kid.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
That's my point.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
And if you see Steve, don't let your.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Kid in dark. All right? Well that's it. This was great.
Speaker 4 (49:36):
Thank you so much for come by, and again everybody
can camp up with you at your podcast.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
Name drop the Pop two thousand Tour or whatever. If
I'm in town.
Speaker 4 (49:48):
Pop through two thousand tour though, because I remember you
would posted something And I was at the airport in
Nashville and I saw the guy from LFO walking by
and I was like, oh my god, because summer girls own.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Benjamin and I would play it.
Speaker 4 (50:00):
We'd be on tour and Sullivan's son and that was
the song we'd play all the time in the in
the car to just goof and we just rap and
Roywood Junior the.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
Black on the Daily Show. I hated that song hat.
Speaker 4 (50:12):
It, So we played all the time, just a message.
And so I would watch the video all the time
and I was like, oh my god, that's from LFO.
So you tour though with other other members of boy bands?
Speaker 2 (50:23):
Is that the purpose of it?
Speaker 1 (50:24):
And who? Basically it's kind of boy bandish, but it's
like Ryan Cabrera's on it. We have bb Mac, we
had LFO myself, we had smash Mouth, we have Mark
McGrath from Sugar a right, you know. So I kind
of look at it more as like that old TRL
collection thing.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
It's like a mini festival.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Everything random you get. It's like who's number one today?
Speaker 4 (50:48):
