This week on Two Cool Moms, Joe and Steve manage to not look like Nosferatu while doling out advice that’s as old-school as a handwritten love letter. Dive into the charm of analog communication as they reminisce about the golden days of pen and paper, bringing back memories of when tweeting was just for the birds.
In the new segment, "Call Mommy," the moms tackle life's burning questions with their usual mix of sarcasm and unintentional wisdom. From the mysteries of toddler sleep patterns to escaping the clutches of rural life for the big screen, they've got a quip for every quandary.
Tune in for an episode that's more packed with laughs and questionable advice than Joe’s attic is with nostalgic keepsakes.

a box. Do you have this at home? A box
of letters that people have.

I have definitely a crate of like keepsakes, and there's
definitely some letters in there.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I have a specific box of letters that's just letters,
and in there I have a letter from my mother
that she sent just a little note, and then I
have a full letter from my father in there, and
that was like two of my.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Biggest keepsakes that I have. But then I also have
all these letters.
Speaker 2 (02:50):

Not that you mean, right, see, I got letters, yeah,
but I have that. But it's just nice to see
what people have said about you over the years. But
I have like cards for my sisters, and now I've
started adding stuff my kids have written me, you know,
not homework projects, but some stuff that they've like left
notes back to me because I would write a note
for there when I made their snack and send them
to My mom used to send me to school with
(03:20):
letters in my snack, and that was my biggest I
was so excited about that. So I started that with
my kids and they loved it, and they started writing
me letters. Back when I was on the road, I
would come home. My son stuck me a letter on
a post it and put it in my backpack before
I hit the road, and I had opened it up.
When I was on the road and in there was
a little thing. It was like, Dad, I miss you.
Hurry back, hurry back home of Remore. I was like,
(03:42):
such a sweet little boy.
Speaker 3 (03:43):

I do love a good handwritten letter. I do love
a good handwritten letter.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I do try to take some time to do a
handwritten note. But you know, I think it's an art
form that gets lost. I think words on paper is
very important.

less a letter more was maybe three months ago. Suicide
note anyways, unsuccessful Still here, man, I didn't I didn't

I never said this to me, thank you, this is
hilarious or something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And it's in your office there.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
And I said, I said, I've always wanted a Bobby
Lee action fig or stuff like that, and so it's
in my office though. The Asian boy with the god
it was so. And then it was funny because when
we were putting out the Christmas decorations, my wife puts
the shelf with the TV above the fireplace with with
the gongs. That is not going there. I'm like, it's hilarious.
(07:39):
She's like, you were not putting that there, but it's

And he never said anything. Never.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I was sitting on a furlastic joke out.

That's a plastic joke.
Speaker 1 (07:50):

Speaker 3 (07:52):
I would never have the patience. Did you get it?
Speaker 1 (07:54):

That's what I us.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's see I think of you often, is what I'm saying.
I think of you. You know, we did talk, we
did talk more on the phone. I will work on that.
Speaker 3 (08:07):

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Remember opening it and going what the.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
No, and it was like, you know, of course these
times like this is pretty racist? Right? Is this racist?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But I love that we facetimed you with it and
we were like laughing.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We were all laughing together about it, and then we
said that exact dolly you I didn't remember.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I remember crazy, it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh my god. My kids were like, you might my
son goes, that's scary looking. It's pretty scary looking.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
But oh, that is so funny about the antiquetores. They
always have like a creepy doll section. I'll always add
it to my story or go live on Instagram with
it about like the creepy dolls, and they are. There's
nothing like an antique store when it comes to creepy dolls. No,
and they have so many. I wonder like they buy them?
Are people out there buying these?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
They literally haunt the dolls, like you know.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
They are scary one hundred percent. By the way, what
was it the what's the one with the doll annabel
Like when you actually have you ever seen the actual Annabelle? Yes,
it's a raggedy doll, Raggedy Andy.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Raggedy and and Andy.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, but those were really popular when we were kids.
They were everywhere, and so to see it, you're just
like the the doll in the movie actually looks like creepy,
but the other one looks so nothing normal. It looks
normal and you wouldn't think it's scary at all.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It looks like raggedy, like an on ozembic annabel.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It looks like if you took that and put it
in a I right, what would it be? And that's
exactly what it was created?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
For sure? Did you? I?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I remember that you and you kept it from me
this whole time.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
No, I was like, who did this? Because I was
like somebody obviously forgot to leave a note. And then
I was just a real gift. I honestly, I swear
to god, I thought it was a real gift, Like
it was nice. It was pricey too, was it really?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well it's it is in my office and I've taken
care of it.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It was an expressive joke, but it was worth it,
for sure. I have them a little. I got it down.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But to be honest, it was I think it's like
working you.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You are not the world's okayest comedian. You're one of
the world's above average comedian.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I'm an above average.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, above average, No, above average? A past.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
That was?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh man, I love you.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
That was a good one.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Good. Well, I love you. I'll no, no, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
We're gonna we have AIG segment called call Mommy. Play
the music, play the intro music. Okay, great. So now
what we did was we put it out on our
Instagram at your cool mom's pod to uh, send in
your phone number and just a.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Little bit about what your dilemma is, and we thought
we would take a call.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Let's see how it goes. Okay, Hi, thanks for calling mommy.
It's Joe and Steve.
Speaker 3 (11:30):

Speaker 1 (11:32):
How are you? What's your name? My name is Alexis Cooper.

Hi, Alexis, thank you so much for calling into the mommies.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Of course, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
We are here to help. So what is your dilemma, Alexis?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
My dilemma is that I feel like I'm playing the
lottery every night when I put my toddler to bed
whether or not she's gonna wake up and what time
it'll be or if she's gonna sleep through the night.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Ah, okay, how old is the toddler? Now she'll be too.
Oh yeah, that's a tough one.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I speaking from my experience, my daughter didn't sleep through
the night the first time until she was two years old,
and then my son slept through the night when he
was six months old.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So I do think it is a lottery crapshoot kind
of situation. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Uh, monsters incorporated, Yes, Uh definitely, watch Masters incorporate. That'll
help uh in terms of like, uh sleeping. And this
is like my wife does this for a living. Like
literally she does this for a living. So I hear
about this all the time. But uh, I guess if
(12:38):
you visit my wife.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
To your answer to a lectus called from us is
to talk to your your outstocing the help.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But this is like what she does for a living,
is so so, so if you want to DMMR on Instagram,
I'll tell her to hook you up. But it's it's
literally my dreamy Sleeper. That's what my wife's handle is.
And she literally here I swear to God. Yeah, so
she because we had it as a gift when when
we were because I was going through the same we
(13:10):
were going through the same thing when my daughter was born.
I guess it's three months in your child is I
guess mature enough at that at that time period as
a baby to adapt to sleep training. And it's just
you know, it's a set of circumstances that you're gonna
put your kid into. It's gonna seem very uncomfortable, but
(13:31):
once they adapt to it, all of a sudden, your
child's getting sleep. You're getting sleep, and you're so much
the better for it. So I don't know exactly what
to tell you, because I am at ah.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Why what's her podcast called.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It's called My Husband's a Dipshit, But uh yeah, just
good to my dreamy sleeper. That's like I literally tagged
her in something, uh like a poster to ago. But
but it's little what she does for a living. So yeah,
she's she's worked with people, she signed many NDAs with
that I could get her sued for right now. But
(14:10):
but honestly, I mean, it is one of those things where, boy,
if your kid's not sleeping, it affects everything. And my
heart goes out to you and uh, it affects the
whole household everything for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Are you do.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
You do you find yourself a little bit more cranky?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Do I personally get more cranky?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
When she doesn't sleep.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yes for sure, yes, yeah, okay, well I'm wishing you.
I'm sending you lots of love and patience during this time.
But definitely check out Steve's website for help.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I wish I had a promo code or something, but
it's if you go to my dreamy sleeper like on
Instagram or or just look at me up or whatever.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
That was really cool. The call Mommy segment, it's fantastic.
It's crushing, nailed it one for one, nailed at one
for one.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We outsourced helping.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Calling mommy, let's look at all the calls here.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Let's do it all right? My god? Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I joked a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Hi, it's thanks.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Are called two cools and calling mommy. It's Joe and Steve.
How are you good?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
How are you good? What's your name?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
My name is Whitney Spencer.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hi, Whitney.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Nice to meet you, Whitney, Joe and Steve. Here you
have a dilemma that you need the moms to help
you with.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yes, I do all right, hit let us up. What
is it?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
So?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I am an aspiring actress and model, but I live
in a very rural part of North Carolina. So I
was just wondering how how to get out of a
rural area, how to succeed in the industry.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Really, just any tips, gotcha? So you're feeling trapped by
your your ruralness.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, Whitney, they actually filmed quite a bit in North Carolina.
To be honest with you, there's a nice there's like
big tax incentives, Like I know, Dana mcride films a
ton of stuff out there. So there is quote unquote
like industry. There's a presence of industry in North Carolina.
(16:49):
And if you're looking to get out, have you done
anything thus far in front of the camera or print
ads or anything? So I have.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I have been an extra in about five or six
different movies and TV shows in Wilmington, North Carolina, Winston Salem,
different places like that, but I've never really been able
to get further than that.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Gotcha, Well, I will say I back in the day,
I chase the dream and moved to Hollywood, and I
really think it's just a product of finding the best
way to do your craft now depending on where you are,
because I moved back home to New York and that's
when I basically, you know, quote unquote hit it big.
But I would say I think it's important just to
(17:35):
align yourself with people and collaborate, because collaboration is the
biggest thing, especially with modeling, you know, finding people who
are trying to build their photography portfolios. That's an easy
way to get in going on through Instagram and try
to find other like minded.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
People in your area.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Of course, I think like Facebook does a good job
of that of trying to find groups of people that
are trying to do it in your area is a
big thing. You got to find You got to find
a little bit of a hive if you will there
in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yeah, I think you find that supportive group of collaborators.
But also I think Joe and I are of a
generation where literally you had a decision to make New
York or Los Angeles, and now entertainment is so sparsed out.
There's so many hubs of production. Atlanta is probably the
closest to you that films a ton. So if I
(18:25):
were you, how old are you, I'm eighteen eighteen. Okay,
you got you got the life.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You got the life at your fingertips.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, you got plenty of time. Are you in school?
Are you studying anywhere?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Or I am doing online school degree in marketing.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Well, they have the internet in Atlanta, so move to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
The have internets everywhere. But look, I mean, you could
you know, you could be enrolled. One of the greatest
assets I had was when I first moved to Los Angeles.
I took you know, like anybody else, you sign it
for acting classes and some of the guys I met
and be friended and have been friends with through the
years in Los Angeles. To Joe's point, all those young
comics that started off with, all the young actors that
(19:08):
started off with we all supported each other and found out, hey,
there's an audition for this thing. Let me see if
I can get you into. And if somebody got it
and the guy that instigated it didn't get it, it
didn't matter because we were all young and hungry. Right,
So find that hub, but find that market that works
for you. And if you think that maybe Atlanta potentially
(19:28):
could work for you, it's not that big of a
move from North Carolina to Atlanta. It's less of a
move to go from North Carolina Los Angeles. But I
know that there's a ton of opportunities and Joe and
I know probably dozens, if not hundreds of people we've
worked with or collaborated with that have worked in or
(19:49):
are now in Atlanta. I know a lot of young
actors are going to Atlanta to audition and get their
feet wet in the industry. And it's I mean, Marvel's
got studios down there, there's a ton going on, Tyler
Perry's down there. So there's a ton of work to
be had in that market, and not as much as
being filmed in Los Angeles as you think.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, I would. I would definitely say those two things.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Find collaborators in your hometown that you think could help
you further your career.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I mean, you've already landed a couple extra gigs. How
did you go about getting those?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
So on Facebook they do. There's some casting networks that
I'm aware of. And then on top of that, like
on Instagram, where it'll say like suggested, it'll send you
to their Facebook. So it's easy once you find that
Facebook to like look at the other ones that are
kind of in similar areas.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Would you be open would you be open to moving
to Atlanta?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
I'd love to if I could figure it out. Gave
up enough money to.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Do right right. But the thing that I always say
to to folks like yourself, because I went through it myself. Whitney,
I was twenty two, I was at of Kent State, Ohio,
and I moved to New York City. You're gonna be
broken Atlanta, You're gonna be broken. North Carolina, You're gonna broke.
In New York City, You're always gonna be broke. So
it's just like all that has to happen is for
you to get there right and what you and I'm
(21:21):
not saying. Look, it could be anything. It could be La,
it could be New York, it could be whatever you
want it to be, right, But I would have a
healthy dialogue with my folks. I'd establish probably what it
is I think or I want to accomplish. I'd give
myself a healthy timeline, yeah, to understand.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And it's not a.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Timeline of like I'm gonna make it by twenty five.
It's like, get detailed oriented, get granular about your you know,
within the first year, I'd like to be an extra
in this. Within two years, I'd like to be a
guest star.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Or I'd like to having this many things on my resume, right.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, just like you know, get get really specific and
I think, have a healthy dynamic with with people you
care about, whether it's your family or good friends, whatever,
and then make a goal of it. Because when you're eighteen,
you got nothing to lose. When you're twenty one, you
got nothing to lose. By the way, you could be forty,
you could be in a cubicle. You got nothing to lose.
(22:14):
So I think the great thing is that you have
all the time in the world ahead of you, and
I wish you nothing but the best. You seem very
determined and driven. At eighteen, you're an extra in a
few films. That's more than I ever did.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, I love that about it.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
And so I think you're way off to the races,
a lot further along than I was at your age.
So I think you're going to crush it.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And don't forget us when you're huge.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, we want to be thanked in your award awards
acceptance speeches.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
We want to be thanked in all these speeches that
you give.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Thank you, all.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Right, thanks for calling, Mommy, I'll see you next week. Joe, Oh, yay,

not to be like the pervy Hollywood for the jokes
you succeeded because I was sitting there going, he's gonna gol.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Michaels are protecting you.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
She's eighteen. She wants to be an actress. It's like,
this is just this is too easy. This is too easy.
But I'm like, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So I'm not gonna say I'm gonna be supportive. You
did great. I get you gave some great advice. See
what happens when you get to it. Yeah, I think
whatever I just said, and that.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
That's what goes on at the end the interview. It's like, eighteen,
I want to be a star baby, I can make.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Live in my garage apartment. You ever driven around his Saturn? Well,
I would say that was relatively successful. I think we

We're here to try to help the best of our abilities.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Who might be able to help, but that's not a
good name of podcast, that's right.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Help is not our forte no. But we try harder
at helping than we do on our own careers, that's
for sure. That's why we're here.

A handwritten letter, I will tell you this. Yeah, I
love a good handwritten note. Yeah, I loved the last
time you did.
Speaker 1 (02:15):

Speaker 3 (02:18):
You actually gave me a very nice card over the holidays.
I did, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I write, I write a holiday Tom. I'm big on
the note. I love a good handwritten letter. I have
a box. Do you have this at home? A box
of letters that people have.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I have definitely a crate of like keepsakes, and there's
definitely some letters in there.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I have a specific box of letters that's just letters,
and in there I have a letter from my mother
that she sent just a little note, and then I
have a full letter from my father in there, and
that was like two of my.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Biggest keepsakes that I have. But then I also have
all these letters.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
From old x's and things which I don't really look
at anymore, which you.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Still get it, you know, I still get it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Still got the box, still got the box of letters.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Not that you mean, right, see, I got letters, yeah,
but I have that. But it's just nice to see
what people have said about you over the years. But
I have like cards for my sisters, and now I've
started adding stuff my kids have written me, you know,
not homework projects, but some stuff that they've like left
notes back to me because I would write a note
for there when I made their snack and send them
to My mom used to send me to school with
(03:20):
letters in my snack, and that was my biggest I
was so excited about that. So I started that with
my kids and they loved it, and they started writing
me letters. Back when I was on the road, I
would come home. My son stuck me a letter on
a post it and put it in my backpack before
I hit the road, and I had opened it up.
When I was on the road and in there was
a little thing. It was like, Dad, I miss you.
Hurry back, hurry back home of Remore. I was like,
(03:42):
such a sweet little boy.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You know, it's nice to know your kids care. I
never got no.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I have a great one from Livy she sent me.
She put a note. You know, Joe, I missed you.
You're the best.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I wish my dad was like you successful.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Thanks for everything there your kids, your kids.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
You know, I think you're all right. But I do.
I do love a good handwritten letter. I do love
a good handwritten letter.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I do try to take some time to do a
handwritten note. But you know, I think it's an art
form that gets lost. I think words on paper is
very important.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah. I think the last time I wrote a it's
less a letter more was maybe three months ago. Suicide
note anyways, unsuccessful Still here, man, I didn't I didn't

racist Asian doll with a We're like, Stevie, wait you

Speaker 1 (07:04):
And then I was like, oh, how fun would this
be if I bought it and just sent it to him.
So he bought it and sent it to you, unmarked
from the place, and then you post it on.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I never said this to me, thank you, this is
hilarious or something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And it's in your office there.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
And I said, I said, I've always wanted a Bobby
Lee action fig or stuff like that, and so it's
in my office though. The Asian boy with the god
it was so. And then it was funny because when
we were putting out the Christmas decorations, my wife puts
the shelf with the TV above the fireplace with with
the gongs. That is not going there. I'm like, it's hilarious.
(07:39):
She's like, you were not putting that there, but it's
in my office. Dude, that's hilarious, like that was you
And he never said anything. Never.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I was sitting on a furlastic joke out.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
That's a plastic joke.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Does think simmer for three to four months?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I would never have the patience. Did you get it?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Did you?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
It was funny, like you will literally let a joke.
That's what I us.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's see I think of you often, is what I'm saying.
I think of you. You know, we did talk, we
did talk more on the phone. I will work on that.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
So I gotta I gotta get a picture sent so
you guys can we'll post in the thing. Oh my god,
that is hilarious.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I definitely have the photo. I'll send it over and
we'll put it up for everybody because I.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Remember opening it and going what the.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
No, and it was like, you know, of course these
times like this is pretty racist? Right? Is this racist?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But I love that we facetimed you with it and
we were like laughing.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We were all laughing together about it, and then we
said that exact dolly you I didn't remember.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I remember crazy, it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh my god. My kids were like, you might my
son goes, that's scary looking. It's pretty scary looking.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
But oh, that is so funny about the antiquetores. They
always have like a creepy doll section. I'll always add
it to my story or go live on Instagram with
it about like the creepy dolls, and they are. There's
nothing like an antique store when it comes to creepy dolls. No,
and they have so many. I wonder like they buy them?
Are people out there buying these?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
They literally haunt the dolls, like you know.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
They are scary one hundred percent. By the way, what
was it the what's the one with the doll annabel
Like when you actually have you ever seen the actual Annabelle? Yes,
it's a raggedy doll, Raggedy Andy.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Raggedy and and Andy.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, but those were really popular when we were kids.
They were everywhere, and so to see it, you're just
like the the doll in the movie actually looks like creepy,
but the other one looks so nothing normal. It looks
normal and you wouldn't think it's scary at all.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It looks like raggedy, like an on ozembic annabel.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It looks like if you took that and put it
in a I right, what would it be? And that's
exactly what it was created?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
For sure? Did you? I?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I remember that you and you kept it from me
this whole time.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
No, I was like, who did this? Because I was
like somebody obviously forgot to leave a note. And then
I was just a real gift. I honestly, I swear
to god, I thought it was a real gift, Like
it was nice. It was pricey too, was it really?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well it's it is in my office and I've taken
care of it.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It was an expressive joke, but it was worth it,
for sure. I have them a little. I got it down.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But to be honest, it was I think it's like
working you.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You are not the world's okayest comedian. You're one of
the world's above average comedian.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I'm an above average.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, above average, No, above average? A past.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
That was?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh man, I love you.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
That was a good one.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Good. Well, I love you. I'll no, no, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
That's not a complaint.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I know it's on my bucket.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
We we keep in touch.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
We do say you're one of my best friends.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Love you.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I love you, buddy. Let's get in helping people, do it.
Let's do it.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, yeah, are we calling.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
We're going to call people.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
We're gonna we have AIG segment called call Mommy. Play
the music, play the intro music. Okay, great. So now
what we did was we put it out on our
Instagram at your cool mom's pod to uh, send in
your phone number and just a.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Little bit about what your dilemma is, and we thought
we would take a call.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Let's see how it goes. Okay, Hi, thanks for calling mommy.
It's Joe and Steve.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Hi, how are you good?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
How are you? What's your name? My name is Alexis Cooper.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Hi, Alexis, thank you so much for calling into the mommies.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Of course, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
We are here to help. So what is your dilemma, Alexis?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
My dilemma is that I feel like I'm playing the
lottery every night when I put my toddler to bed
whether or not she's gonna wake up and what time
it'll be or if she's gonna sleep through the night.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Ah, okay, how old is the toddler? Now she'll be too.
Oh yeah, that's a tough one.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I speaking from my experience, my daughter didn't sleep through
the night the first time until she was two years old,
and then my son slept through the night when he
was six months old.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So I do think it is a lottery crapshoot kind
of situation. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Uh, monsters incorporated, Yes, Uh definitely, watch Masters incorporate. That'll
help uh in terms of like, uh sleeping. And this
is like my wife does this for a living. Like
literally she does this for a living. So I hear
about this all the time. But uh, I guess if
(12:38):
you visit my wife.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
To your answer to a lectus called from us is
to talk to your your outstocing the help.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But this is like what she does for a living,
is so so, so if you want to DMMR on Instagram,
I'll tell her to hook you up. But it's it's
literally my dreamy Sleeper. That's what my wife's handle is.
And she literally here I swear to God. Yeah, so
she because we had it as a gift when when
we were because I was going through the same we
(13:10):
were going through the same thing when my daughter was born.
I guess it's three months in your child is I
guess mature enough at that at that time period as
a baby to adapt to sleep training. And it's just
you know, it's a set of circumstances that you're gonna
put your kid into. It's gonna seem very uncomfortable, but
(13:31):
once they adapt to it, all of a sudden, your
child's getting sleep. You're getting sleep, and you're so much
the better for it. So I don't know exactly what
to tell you, because I am at ah.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Why what's her podcast called.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It's called My Husband's a Dipshit, But uh yeah, just
good to my dreamy sleeper. That's like I literally tagged
her in something, uh like a poster to ago. But
but it's little what she does for a living. So yeah,
she's she's worked with people, she signed many NDAs with
that I could get her sued for right now. But
(14:10):
but honestly, I mean, it is one of those things where, boy,
if your kid's not sleeping, it affects everything. And my
heart goes out to you and uh, it affects the
whole household everything for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Are you do.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
You do you find yourself a little bit more cranky?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Do I personally get more cranky?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
When she doesn't sleep.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yes for sure, yes, yeah, okay, well I'm wishing you.
I'm sending you lots of love and patience during this time.
But definitely check out Steve's website for help.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I wish I had a promo code or something, but
it's if you go to my dreamy sleeper like on
Instagram or or just look at me up or whatever.
But that I mean I I'll literally text her today
and say, hey, uh, we have a caller and from
Alexi is gonna reach out to you. I would love

Speaker 1 (15:28):
That was really cool. The call Mommy segment, it's fantastic.
It's crushing, nailed it one for one, nailed at one
for one.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We outsourced helping.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Calling mommy, let's look at all the calls here.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Let's do it all right? My god? Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I joked a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Hi, it's thanks.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Are called two cools and calling mommy. It's Joe and Steve.
How are you good?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
How are you good? What's your name?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
My name is Whitney Spencer.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hi, Whitney.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Nice to meet you, Whitney, Joe and Steve. Here you
have a dilemma that you need the moms to help
you with.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yes, I do all right, hit let us up. What
is it?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
So?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I am an aspiring actress and model, but I live
in a very rural part of North Carolina. So I
was just wondering how how to get out of a
rural area, how to succeed in the industry.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Really, just any tips, gotcha? So you're feeling trapped by
your your ruralness.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, Whitney, they actually filmed quite a bit in North Carolina.
To be honest with you, there's a nice there's like
big tax incentives, Like I know, Dana mcride films a
ton of stuff out there. So there is quote unquote
like industry. There's a presence of industry in North Carolina.
(16:49):
And if you're looking to get out, have you done
anything thus far in front of the camera or print
ads or anything? So I have.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I have been an extra in about five or six
different movies and TV shows in Wilmington, North Carolina, Winston Salem,
different places like that, but I've never really been able
to get further than that.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Gotcha, Well, I will say I back in the day,
I chase the dream and moved to Hollywood, and I
really think it's just a product of finding the best
way to do your craft now depending on where you are,
because I moved back home to New York and that's
when I basically, you know, quote unquote hit it big.
But I would say I think it's important just to
(17:35):
align yourself with people and collaborate, because collaboration is the
biggest thing, especially with modeling, you know, finding people who
are trying to build their photography portfolios. That's an easy
way to get in going on through Instagram and try
to find other like minded.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
People in your area.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Of course, I think like Facebook does a good job
of that of trying to find groups of people that
are trying to do it in your area is a
big thing. You got to find You got to find
a little bit of a hive if you will there
in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yeah, I think you find that supportive group of collaborators.
But also I think Joe and I are of a
generation where literally you had a decision to make New
York or Los Angeles, and now entertainment is so sparsed out.
There's so many hubs of production. Atlanta is probably the
closest to you that films a ton. So if I
(18:25):
were you, how old are you, I'm eighteen eighteen. Okay,
you got you got the life.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You got the life at your fingertips.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, you got plenty of time. Are you in school?
Are you studying anywhere?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Or I am doing online school degree in marketing.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Well, they have the internet in Atlanta, so move to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
The have internets everywhere. But look, I mean, you could
you know, you could be enrolled. One of the greatest
assets I had was when I first moved to Los Angeles.
I took you know, like anybody else, you sign it
for acting classes and some of the guys I met
and be friended and have been friends with through the
years in Los Angeles. To Joe's point, all those young
comics that started off with, all the young actors that
(19:08):
started off with we all supported each other and found out, hey,
there's an audition for this thing. Let me see if
I can get you into. And if somebody got it
and the guy that instigated it didn't get it, it
didn't matter because we were all young and hungry. Right,
So find that hub, but find that market that works
for you. And if you think that maybe Atlanta potentially
(19:28):
could work for you, it's not that big of a
move from North Carolina to Atlanta. It's less of a
move to go from North Carolina Los Angeles. But I
know that there's a ton of opportunities and Joe and
I know probably dozens, if not hundreds of people we've
worked with or collaborated with that have worked in or
(19:49):
are now in Atlanta. I know a lot of young
actors are going to Atlanta to audition and get their
feet wet in the industry. And it's I mean, Marvel's
got studios down there, there's a ton going on, Tyler
Perry's down there. So there's a ton of work to
be had in that market, and not as much as
being filmed in Los Angeles as you think.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, I would. I would definitely say those two things.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Find collaborators in your hometown that you think could help
you further your career.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I mean, you've already landed a couple extra gigs. How
did you go about getting those?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
So on Facebook they do. There's some casting networks that
I'm aware of. And then on top of that, like
on Instagram, where it'll say like suggested, it'll send you
to their Facebook. So it's easy once you find that
Facebook to like look at the other ones that are
kind of in similar areas.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Would you be open would you be open to moving
to Atlanta?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
I'd love to if I could figure it out. Gave
up enough money to.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Do right right. But the thing that I always say
to to folks like yourself, because I went through it myself. Whitney,
I was twenty two, I was at of Kent State, Ohio,
and I moved to New York City. You're gonna be
broken Atlanta, You're gonna be broken. North Carolina, You're gonna broke.
In New York City, You're always gonna be broke. So
it's just like all that has to happen is for
you to get there right and what you and I'm
(21:21):
not saying. Look, it could be anything. It could be La,
it could be New York, it could be whatever you
want it to be, right, But I would have a
healthy dialogue with my folks. I'd establish probably what it
is I think or I want to accomplish. I'd give
myself a healthy timeline, yeah, to understand.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And it's not a.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Timeline of like I'm gonna make it by twenty five.
It's like, get detailed oriented, get granular about your you know,
within the first year, I'd like to be an extra
in this. Within two years, I'd like to be a
guest star.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Or I'd like to having this many things on my resume, right.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, just like you know, get get really specific and
I think, have a healthy dynamic with with people you
care about, whether it's your family or good friends, whatever,
and then make a goal of it. Because when you're eighteen,
you got nothing to lose. When you're twenty one, you
got nothing to lose. By the way, you could be forty,
you could be in a cubicle. You got nothing to lose.
(22:14):
So I think the great thing is that you have
all the time in the world ahead of you, and
I wish you nothing but the best. You seem very
determined and driven. At eighteen, you're an extra in a
few films. That's more than I ever did.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, I love that about it.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
And so I think you're way off to the races,
a lot further along than I was at your age.
So I think you're going to crush it.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And don't forget us when you're huge.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, we want to be thanked in your award awards
acceptance speeches.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
We want to be thanked in all these speeches that
you give.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Thank you, all.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Right, thanks for calling, Mommy, I'll see you next week. Joe, Oh, yay,
already come to the show.
Speaker 4 (22:52):

Good luck to you with of course, thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Bye's all right.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I mean we could we could trim it. I think
by the way, I was doing everything in my power
not to be like the pervy Hollywood for the jokes
you succeeded because I was sitting there going, he's gonna gol.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Michaels are protecting you.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
She's eighteen. She wants to be an actress. It's like,
this is just this is too easy. This is too easy.
But I'm like, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So I'm not gonna say I'm gonna be supportive. You
did great. I get you gave some great advice. See
what happens when you get to it. Yeah, I think
whatever I just said, and that.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
That's what goes on at the end the interview. It's like, eighteen,
I want to be a star baby, I can make.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Live in my garage apartment. You ever driven around his Saturn? Well,
I would say that was relatively successful. I think we
helped some people.

good name of podcast, that's right.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Help is not our forte no. But we try harder
at helping than we do on our own careers, that's
for sure. That's why we're here.
