Speaker 1 (00:05):
Wear a ticking muk.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm good. Welcome to Too Cool Mom's podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
You always win. That makes you so cool.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
If people are listening and not watching, that is a
very odd way to start a podcast. Okay, guys, well,
thank you to listen to Too Cool Moms. I am
here with my good good mommy friend Steve.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Pleasure away with you.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
And by the way, you heard us going surmise. You
figured out it's not what.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
You think it is, and I usually they saw. I
do appreciate your support with my pineapple shirt. I decided
to throw on a pineapple shirt here today.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Doesn't look good.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I wouldn't say you looks good. I remember buying this.
I was on the road with my good friend Mark
Jiggy Guardian right Jiggy, and we were at a TJ
max because we're Maximiste's, and I popped off on it
and I said, I'm gonna wear this all summer. Didn't
wear it once in the didn't wear it once, didn't
wear it once and hear.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Nificance of the pineapple Yeah you heard about it.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, I've heard. But it's gotta be upside down, meaning
if you want to bang somebody for the cake it's
the cake. You just blow my mind. Oh got it.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
But the pineapple, like when it's upside down outside the
door of a of a cruiser.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Come on, come on in. Water is fine, that's great.
I would.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's such a weird thing.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
But you know what a pineapple is. Though a pineapple
is worth the fight, there's certain things that aren't worth
the fight. I would give you some examples. Crab legs,
the amount of the amount of meat, but the amount
of meat that you get versus you cut yourself. You
get pinch eed right, it hurts, and you get this
little pineapple. You gotta honk you get in there. You
take some work to get into it. But oh the juices.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
But who's who's doing? What are you? Are you buying
raw pineapple? Nobody buys what I buy.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I buy a full pineapple to market. You don't no
best way to get.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Pelices like a human being. So you met on television.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
You pay so you're too good to slice your own.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
You probably want of those that gets the cellery water
at Whole Foods for eight dollars, Because you, guys, what.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
About the body?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
What about this body? Says?

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I drink celery water? First of all, I would God.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Do you know how to pick? Do you know how
to let's let's give some knowledge here. Do you know
my grandfather's big into produce. Do you know how to
pick a fresh pineapple?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Do I know how to trick?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Do you know the trick? Like walk on, knock on
the watermelon? If it sounds hollow, it's a good watermelon. Okay,
if you pull the leaves up top.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I was gonna say, it's something with the stem.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
And if the leaf comes out easy, it's ripe.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
It's ready to go, ready to go. It's staying in
there saying in it.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
They not ready. The baby's still got juices to cook.
You didn't want to give yet. You want to let
it go, You want to let it go in the sunshine.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Pineapple could be one of my favorites. Several times I love.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I'll tell you, I judge harsh.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
If somebody don't like pineapple, If somebody eats a fruit
cocktail takes out the pineapple chunks, forget it. Adam not
a friend, not a friend. It was just a whoaii
pineapple hands down? Oh yeah, now he's got.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Bookoo bucks Well, I was doing a show. Oh gotcha
breaking even so.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
I flew the family up broke even, but went got
the doll whips, you know, the doll whip. Oh, and
then we got these pineapple smoothies. They come in the pineapple.
You take the top off the smoothies in there.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
They hollowed out for the kids.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
And then you got a nice little chunk of pineapple. Here's
the thing about a chunk to your point. Sometimes they're
just chewy and like it. But but when they like,
when they sat around for a while, yeah, they get
all nice and sugary, sugary. Oh, there's nothing better than
that than that.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Piece of some Some fruits have really cornered the market
and being able to use their carcass as a cup. Pineapples, coconuts, yep, right,
they got it. You don't see anybody popping a straw
an orange, even a grapefruit. A grapefruit is big enough
to be a cup. Nobody you could do it, you could,
but nobody does. Yeah, but nobody does. Like nobody uses
a grape fruit cup.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's like, oh this is here's one sour dough bowl bread. Oh,
best soup.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
When you can eat the container, that's when you know
you've made it.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
That's like you want it.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
When you're eating with something, you're likeing it up to.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
You could eat the napkin like you just.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Chowder in a bowl bread figet it all day, all night.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I would take a I take a clam, I would
take a a tomato basil in a sour dough.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Howse that'd be my broccoli cheddar.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Broccoli chedta gives you the faughts, but delicious what it
gives you the thoughts, But it's delicious. Broccoli chatta.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Sorry, I thought you like your accent comes in so
I thought you were saying it gives you the force.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
You'll enjoyed this.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I don't have gas. That was you.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
You smelled it you done. My uncle actually ate so
much pineapple. He lived in Hawaii. He grew up in Hawaii.
He ate so much pineapple he almost died, swear to God,
because it's all the it's all the acid. It's something
like if you have a certain like if you drink
too much water, you could drown yourself literally drown yourself
with Uh. It's so acidic. Pineapple is so acidic that.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
You you need to eat.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
You can't eat like like an eight year old like
he was and just keep mouwing something sweet, which he
did and he ended up in the hospital, almost died.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Poisoned himself with acid. Pineapple acid. It was the pineapple
and the conservatory. Colonel Mustard, Colonel Pineapple.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
That's right, yeah, Colonel Pineapple.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Death by pineapple is not a bad way to go, though,
if you had to pick. I didn't even know that
was an option. I'm to be honest on.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
The table, I didn't know that was an option. You
were just like if.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Somebody said go kill yourself, I'd like, give me all
the pineapple.

a black cherry option. You see seeds like seated cherries.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Cherries.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Just went to one of those mixologists and you would
get a black cherry with the drink, and they had
a jar of like if it's fermented, like they're soaked
in oh, And I.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Was like, what were they choked in like gin or
whisky or something.

There was a I would take that drink. I'd like,
I'll take this, yeah, please, that's my black cherry.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Seriously, it was that good.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Black cherry is also a great stripper name. That's not
a bad stripper name. Black cherry, upside down pineapples not either.
If you go any fruit actually, except like rusty Rusty apricot,
nobody come on to the stage Rusty Apricot.

Speaker 3 (07:31):

fruit fermented cabbage. It's a cabbage, hot spicy cabbage.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
But Koreans in the day.

Speaker 5 (07:40):

stripper name. Kimchi is hot cabbage. Hot cabbage is is
a bulbousy, irish hammered y.

the New York Mets.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
That recommend from the from the stable, what do they
call that? The bull bullpen?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
That's it?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I'm calling on the bullpen bock Choy Joy. Yeah, I
h I think stripper names really live in the product section. Really,
fruits are good for stripper names. Vegetables aren't the old
long couch.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
The old uh comedy bit for a while was Mercedes Porsche.
Why am I getting a dance from Ford Focus? Yeah,
it's like it's like Okay, sports that bit stage, run
that bit into the ground.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Are you ready to go?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
No, we're not we go I mean anything. Do you
want to add fucking value and bring up a conversation?
We're just gonna sity here like it's a fucking interview.
I feel like Bill maher like. Do you want to
say something Jesus Christ? Do you want to switch? Okay, Okay,

(09:05):
you're ready, yes, sent me go ahead, Okay, tell me
something about it's Google bombs?

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, ready? What is jiggy? What is his greatest strength?
What is his greatest weakness?

Speaker 2 (09:16):
His greatest strength?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
And my strength and weakness?

Speaker 3 (09:19):
And then you what you what do you believe is
your greatest strength.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
And weakness and strengths.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'll tell you what yours are?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Okay, strength and strength and weakness. It seems like you're
too ready to tell me what my weakness is. By
the way, sorry, it seems like you're very ready to
tell me what my weakness is. Like you feel like
this is just a game for you to be able
to tell me.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Why?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
You just tell me what you don't like about me,
and we can save the whole rigamarole.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
No, No, let's suck up some time. No, no, no, we're
getting another ten minutes. I would say this.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I would say Jiggy's strength hands down his loyalty. Yeah,
the guy's a loyal friend. He's there for you. He's
like depend like you can depend on He's a loyal friend.
I would say his weakness is the pace at which
he eats. He's a slow, annoying eater.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Real he does. I've never noticed that.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
You don't need as much of him as I do.
But like when he's eating like oatmeal or anything with
rice is.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Really oh god, it's so annoying.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah. Yeah, I think that's fair. That's fair.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, I mean we're cutting this out. But he enjoys food.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
He enjoys it. He enjoys it. I said, the pace
at which he enjoys it is a little laxadaisical for me.
And it's also a little annoying. His eating habits. He
does a little like a loud cheer, like a little
sloppy allowed check. Now it's not it's more like a
peckish it's more like a like a bird eating like that.
You know you have that, but then if you look
over him, you see you eating it, and he's like

(10:35):
like he's just.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, he enjoys it though.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
He really does really get the part of food, but
also like what goes into making whatever dish it is. Yes,
so some folks want to know everything about a film
I was made, who wrote it, you know? But Jiggy's
like that with I Think Food and Green.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
You could put a montage together of the ten seconds
when you see your food about to ride to the
table with me, and it could be like a full
hour of just me being really excited.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
In his other life, you definitely wouldn't be a chef though, right,
Jiggy for sure?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Wait what is your greatest strength? Mind?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Are we skipping you?

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Go ahd yours?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
I would say compassion. I think you're a compassionate person.
I think you care about the way people feel and
want them to feel good about themselves. I would consider
you one of the most compassionate people. I know your weakness.
I mean, how much time do we have. I mean
it's only an hour episode. I don't know how much
you want to know.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
This is greatest greatest, your greatest, greatest strength, greatest.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Your greatest strength, That would be compassion. I think your
greatest weakness. Hmm, so many a pick besides comedy, I
always gonna say comedy. Now. I think you're very funny.
I think you're an amazing comedian. I think your greatest
weakness is probably, oh, you know what I would say
it is. I would say it's this. I would say
you're not a great judge of character. I think you

(11:49):
you jump into thinking everybody's great when not everybody is.
And I think that you say that because every you
think about how many people you've introduced me to, and
you're like, he's the greatest guy ever. Like that's your
go to line. Like you're always like he's the greatest,
he's a bad like And it's not that you're bad card,
but you you just throw that title around. I think
that's your biggest week, Like, it doesn't take much for
you to think somebody is the greatest.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Okay, so I'll just refer to him as Mark then.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
The slow pater, this is the slow pack of eater. Yeah, okay,
I would say that's probably what I would If I
had to pick one, that would be it.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
You're do I go now? Or do we do we
do ourselves? No? We do we? Yeah? Ourselves?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh? Do you want me to do mine? Yeah? What
do you think it's yours my greatest strength? I mean,
i'd have to put up there. I would have to
put kindness up there with probably I don't know it's
that or generosity. I would say, I feel like I'm
very generous person, but I would say kindness. I think
I'm I think I I think I live by live
and die by be kind. I would say that I

(12:49):
agree with that. And then my biggest weakness is probably
I probably cut people out too quickly. Sometimes. I probably
dismissed people too quickly. I probably I don't give as
many second chances as I should. I don't think. Maybe
I would say I think that's probably it. Really maybe

(13:10):
if I had to pick one, Yeah, there's only a
couple instances that I'm actually thinking of that my ring. Sorry.
If my greatest weakness is I didn't turn my h
maybe that maybe maybe, well, you know what I'm thinking
about earlier in life, though nothing about now. If I
had to take a brutal look, I've been doing a
lot of self. Oh you know what, that's probably was
my greatest weakness definitely was that I didn't take any uh.

(13:33):
I didn't reflect enough on myself. I didn't think I
just operated in a way of thinking like, oh, I'm
doing the right thing, Like I didn't stop take stock.
I think I just moved too fast. That's probably what
it is. I moved too fast sometimes.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Because you're driven, yeah, to accomplish whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
It is, and then sometimes when you're driving, you forget
to check the side view mirrors. And I think that's
what happens sometimes.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Meatloaf wrote a song about that.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I believe check the side view mirrors.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
By meat Loaf, objects in the rear view mirror seem
closer than they appear. And there was a lot of
metaphors behind it, Joe too deep to go into now.
As compassionate I am to your ignorance of the artwork
at Meatloaf, I would love to.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Describe it to you.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I was gonna say you're a great guy. I was
gonna say your greatest strength is is yeah, you leaded,
but kindness one hundred percent. I think your your whole

(14:30):
world revolves around it. I mean, whether we were just
walking down the street and the guy we walked to
a coffee shop, the door was shut. We walk over
to another coffee shop. The guy were walking back. He
sees you, he I think he might have called you
and then you said, I'm sorry, I got a coffee across.

(14:51):
You're close, and you still walk over and talk to
the guy for a few seconds. And you could have
just zipped on by or whatever, but you took the
moment to be kind. And then there was this old
woman who was this is like. We walked three blocks, yea,
three blocks, and there was a woman in crutches that
was a little older, and as I was walking past her,
I was like, what if she needs an uber or
you know, I'm just thinking, like just reflexively, you're you're

(15:12):
thinking thoughts to your.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
And then I turn around and.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
You're talking to her, and I assume you're like, are
you okay, you need anything or whatever?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
And after a walk and she said, you just need
to take a break from walking. So she's just standing
there for a moment.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, but I've seen you do that so many times.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, I try so I guess we agree with my
with my kindness.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, I would agree with that.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
I also think, uh, I think it's like that slash confidence. Ah,
you're incredibly confident, but I think the confidence comes from
it's almost like there's I don't know if this is gonna
make sense. But like, but like the kindness, the confidence
is buttressed by the kindness.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Buttress?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Buttress?

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Like the kindness is in support of the confidence because
the confidence you're hitting the dance for, you're going to
the mall, you're picking somebody's French fry up, You're you're
taking selves. But it's like the confidence all stems from
an interaction to be.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Kind to people. Does that make sense?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
So like you use like your confidence to to be
an invitation to be like, yes, I'm gonna make a
smile on about two seconds, I'm gonna leave you for
the rest of your life. I'm gonna make you smile,
and you'll never see me again for the rest. But
it's like, like we're exposed and around all different types
of people in this in this industry, and you've always
taken the time more than anybody I've ever I've never

(16:35):
seen anybody be so recognized but also like so not
bothered by it, and you're willing to like three blocks,
he FaceTime the girl, the guys, the guy's moving furniture,
and he's like jojo jojojo, take a picture.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
We went the wrong way. We come back, they say,
out of my girl, and you're and you're saying, it's like,
I mean you could just guys, I gotta eat like
you know, you just don't do that.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's what's the way I'm built. Stephen. Yeah, thanks, buddy,
I appreciate that. Great. What's my greatest weakness? You really
butted me up to me my greatest week.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
To me, to me.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
For me.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Let's see, I would say, uh.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
It's not, but it goes.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
It goes back to a we're talking about the uh
about the uh like when you're eating and something like
you there's like an impatience sometimes to like this disgusting
kidding what like, But it goes but the second chance. Yeah,
but but I think there is like quick the judgment.
Yeah yeah, maybe that's it, but it's not like it's
not again, it's not done in like a like a

(17:43):
bad way.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, but it's not really with people. Do feel like
is that with people?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I think? Is that what people?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's just quick to judgment on scenarios and food.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, but it's also like if if we're going to
do something like if we gotta be it's just like
you know, we got to be here by five, or guys,
we got to get this stuff done, or you know,
they're just like I think, it's just like.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
I'm almost an urgency, a little bit of business to
a little too much business sometimes maybe.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
But I don't know that's a weakness though, well it
could be.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Depends on the situation. Right, somebody's telling me about their
you know, trouble time, they haven't. I'm looking at the
clock because I gotta go do something, or they gotta
we gotta start something.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Maybe, Yeah, I don't know it's a weakness.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
But thanks, great, that was very nice of you. Do
we do ourselves.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
My greatest strengths is I'm a good liar.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yes you are.

Speaker 1 (18:27):

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Coming us from Derry up. What's up to Cool Mom's Joe?
You love to gamble and eat? Do you just gamble
and eat at whatever casino venue you're performing at in Vegas?
Or do you have favorite spots to gamble and eat? Steve,
you like to eat and drink? Do you have a
favorite spot to eat and a bar you like to
visit when you're in Vegas. I live in Vegas and
you just want to pick your brains about your favorite

(19:58):
spots in my hometown.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
PS.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Thanks for making me laugh every day. It's much needed,
your friend Dylan from Vegas.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Thanks Dylan. You just we're speaking of a new bar
that you was talking about. You're telling me about I
in Vegas.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
You and I both love Vegas. Yes, for sure, deep
affects your Vegas. So I love this question. Do you
have a favorite spot to eat at?

Speaker 1 (20:16):
And then for it?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Hands down? For me, it is the restaurant catch An Aria,
Love Love Love. That place is close. Second for me
is what's the name of the place that we went at?
The place where everybody sat my birthday.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Beach Club, carr Kenzie.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
It's in the it's in the it's in the mart,
not not the what's that called now? It's not the
hard Rock anymore. It's the Virgin. It's in the Virgin
Hotel and it's called Jiggi'll tell us in a minute.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Oh with the DJ.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yes, where you were there? I like that place. That
was a great, great restaurant, great food, really nice vibe.
Everybody was really good there. That work catch An Aria
is a delicious seafood place, great ambiance. The staff is unbelievable,
really really nice. And uh that's where I normally stay
when I'm in Vegas. I say the Aria, but and
I just every time I go, I make sure I
have one meal there. And my favorite place to gamble

(21:09):
is not the Aria. I don't like uh gambling there
as much as they do other places.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
What's your favorite gamble spot?

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Honestly, it's not Las Vegas. I mean I gamble in
Vegas because I'm there, right, but I don't like I'm
much Rather like my favorite casinos are not in Las Vegas.
You know, would you.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Say your favorite is a C because of the memories
you have?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
No, ACU definitely ranks for me, I like it. I
like AC I like the hard rock and AC I
like Burgata. But for me for gambling, I think one
of my favorite ones ever would be the one that
we ended up in Ohio, the Hollywood Casino. Oh my god,
that was a great it was a great night. But
I've been in the casino a couple of times really,
which I like. Yeah, I also like the hard rock
down in Tampa where we're just at. That's a nice

(21:47):
that's really nice casino. I don't think about the hard rocks. Uh,
the the those down there are the Florida ones. They
don't have the dice really, so I have played blackjack,
but that's that's right. Yeah, But I think in Vegas,
I mean I don't really. I I gamble wherever I'm at,
and for me, it's always the gambling is always about
who I'm with, not necessarily right right, They're the only
thing that affects it really is if the people who
are working the craps table are good at their job

(22:07):
or not. Yep, so if they're not that nooys.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
And to complete the shout out, it's Kazi Beach House.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Kazi k k A s s I Kasi Kasi Beach
House is phenomenal. Highly recommend It was a great meal. Yeah,
you were there.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
I was there for it was your birth my birthday. Yes,
I would say pepper Mill.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Pepper Mill is one of those iconic diners, so a
great spot that I think they're just going back to
twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
So when I.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Go there, every seat is a booth, so you're not
sitting there going can we get a booth.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Every seat's a booth. It's got like these fake.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
What are the cherry or the cherry blossoms cherry.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Blossom trees and there are a lot of neon lights
and everything.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
The portions are big nice.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
I'm beyond staph is awesome. Tons of movies have been
filmed there. So Peppermill is one of my favorites. And
then best friend Roy Choy's Korean Korean restaurant in Park MGM,
I'm a huge You just want the fan of his.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Told me a story about that, right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
I mean, you know people think Korean barbecueously he has that,
but he's got like all these other incredible dishes, and
they got a bunch of veget vegetarian kind of vegetable
options or whatever.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's you veggie options?

Speaker 1 (23:24):
What is?

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Didn't you just tell? You just talking about a bar
that you were just like two days ago, were talking about.
You're like, oh, there's this bar that you found.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Well, I love going to the barbershop that yeah, ye barbershops. Great,
that's at Cosmo.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yes, that was at the barbershop.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
You literally walk into the venue and it's a barbershop, right,
But then you go into then you go into the
showroom and it's maybe three hundred people and this band
is up there and they're playing every song you know,
they play everything, you know.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
They're walking through the crowd.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
These guys are from Savage Garden, Lifehouse, like like established
bands that that we all kind of you know, had
the nineties whatever, and now they're in Vegas just rocking
out and then they go hang out with you outside
of the Chandelier bar. I love that spot, but the
Griffin is my spot downtown. The Griffin is like a
locals kind of dive bar, and I absolutely love it.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
It's downtown downtown of Fremont Street.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
What's the place that we threw the dice down there?

Speaker 3 (24:18):
It's Binions in the original home of the World Series Pokers.
And that's why I like if I'm gonna like gamble,
like you gamble like in a different way, right, but
I like I like to if I'm gonna gamble, I'll
play like five or ten dollars hands because I'm just
not that into it or competitive or like, I don't
have a passion for it. But I love going Obinions
because it's like five bucks a hand. But you're in

(24:39):
this like time capsule of Las Vegas, because those are
all holdovers from the fifties and.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
You love nostalgia though that's your thing.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
I do love the the history of Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I know you're right. Everything it's knocked down. They throw
up a cheese charactery. You fucking hate it. But it's
like on the strip, it's like, what fuck this sands?

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Like how do you tear that down? Or not keep
any entity of that?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Like you keep the floorboards at least, so you're looking
down the pyramids and putting up a Starbucks. Same difference.
It's like you go to Cairo three to two, one
push the Dinamite, all falls and the erect boom, boom boom.
Here's a drive through McDonald's. Help yourselves. Try the double
Pyramid with cheese. Nobody wants it, so I'm talking about it.

(25:28):
It's a slap in the face to all old Vegas.
And I want to say to everybody, Oppis and Egyptians,
everybody's mad about it. Also, the Luxelor really went downtown
really fell upon me lately. Oh fah.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
My favorite Vegas joke is my buddy. It's his great joke.
It's it's one of my favorites. He got in a cab.
There's a cab in front of them. You know, you're
leaving the airport, and the cab in front of them
is just taking their time, and he reached the bumper.
Circus says, if you don't like my driving, call one
hundred each shit. So he calls one hundred each shit.
He gets the buffet circus circus. I love that joke.

(26:02):
That's one of my favorite SHOs.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
So there's some Vegas spots, all right, Vegas is the
best Vegas. Have you ever done the roller coaster at
New York, New York?

Speaker 2 (26:10):
No, when the when I went with I had gone
in between times when I haven't been there, but my
daughter was too young. But now she's old enough to go.
So next time I go with the family there, I'm
sure I will.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
But she'll love it now because there's a whole arcade.
It's like a David Busters.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Where is that it's New York, New York. Yeah, we
went to the roller coaster. We went downstairs. She wrote
her first carousel there, so downstairs they had a three
horse little one and she got on it and she
was I think she was two or three when we
went the first time. Yeah, no, she was. I didn't
have remo, so she was under three and she got
on and she wrote her for I have a video
of her riding her first carousel in Vegas down there, yeah,

(26:48):
and she flipped out. She loved it. So we walked
by and there was a roller coaster there and I
said that she put it on the roller coaster. She's like,
what are you crazy? I was like, she can't ride
it anyway, We'll come back, but she's a daredevils. I
think you'll like it. We gotta go back.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
It's a great wine. But the way I think the
win is my favorite casino.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I recently just went there. I went to see a
comedy show there and then I hung out and we
tried to gamble for a minute, but every table was
nine hundred dollars minimum and I was like, I'm not
going to do this here and we just left. It
was a Saturday night, so it really pumped up. But
that's a beautiful It is good.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
The smells beautiful in there, like they're pumping gorgeous human there.

of similarities in personality and views. I mean that's enough, right,
I'm thirty four and British.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Thanks so much. Is this a question?

Speaker 2 (28:16):
No, I don't think it's a question.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I think she's just asked me to be her wing man.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
She's just hitting on me through you, for you be
a wing man for her. To me. You are being
a conduit in this situation.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Got it.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
I'll hold the camera. That's what she's asked me to do. Steve,
can you hold the camera to shut your mouth? Just
keep us both hydrated? Do you have any gatorade?

Speaker 2 (28:35):
British?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
She's British, she's thirty four, she's got a dog.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Thirty four. You could do way better than me. Come on,
she can cook, she can cook well that she can
bake bacons.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Hello, love.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I think they can bake. But you know what, if
she can, she cannot be great. I'll take a cupcake.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
You love sweetreats.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
I love me some sweet treats.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
You share a lot of similarities and personality and views.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, but don't you don't think opposites are track. You
don't want the same right, isn't that right?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Like?

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah, I got to compliment each other, the ying and the yang.
You know that because you're Asian.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, I'm not empty s.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Listen, I'm just looking to take two steps forward. Dan,
talk to you about this.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
I'll take it two steps back.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Okay. Well I was the tractor, were right, I would say, yeah,
you know I think Paul Abdul I love her.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
By the way, still still the best, unbelievably gorgeous.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
I had the biggest crush on her. She's straight up
now tell me. When that video came out, I was like,
what ye like, that's that? It just all perfect storm.
I think I'm like in middle school at that time.
The song comes out and you're just like, oh my god,
girls a girl. And then I saw her. I was like,
what the.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
And then kind enough to meet her one of your
shows yea, And it was one of those wa she.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Came out to the LA Show and I remember my agents,
who have seen me do so much and accomplished so
many things in my life, were never more proud of
me than I had Paul Abdul to come see me
do stand up and Los Angeles. It was crazy. They
were like she I was like, I know this is great. Yeah,
she's phenomenal. She's the best. Yeah. Yeah. I think you
need like opposites attract that I kind of I kind

(30:12):
of agree. I don't really agree with most statements that
are just talking about like they kind of like blanket truth,
romance and love, like opposites attract, you know, those kind
of things Like I don't really think that, but I
do feel like you do need somebody to compliment you
in a relationship. It's too much of the same. What
are we going to sit there and just be down
in donuts by the dozen being two fat scats kitty

(30:32):
cats on.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
The fucking couch and that's a fat and that's a fat.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
I I don't know. How would you say you and
your wife are have opposite in you or you similarities?

Speaker 3 (30:48):
We're very different, Yeah, completely completely different. She's a morning person,
a night out. She doesn't get flustered. She's super cool
under pressure. Uh. She is extremely extremely secure in herself,
which is an aspect of her person I really appreciate because,

(31:08):
you know, being gone so much. She's just never like
you know, never sweating me or anything. But she's great.
She's fantastic. She's very opposite though, she's very a lot
more conservative in terms of like, I mean, we're both
pretty outgoing when and then this steve you might want
to die.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
She's there to keep me in check. But yeah, I
think we're very opposite.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Do you think you and I are opposite or do
we share more similarity.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
I think we're probably more similar than we're dissimilar. I
think we both root for the underdog. We will both
take times with people that we know aren't like the
high school quarterback, and you know, we'll pump up the
tires and stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I think if we made a list of similarities and dissimilarities,
if that's even a word, we would have more words
on the similarity side.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
I think the biggest difference between us is that you're successful.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
I think you know, you know, let me pump you
up a little bit here, but you know, a podcast
with me, man, this is so cool. There you go away.
You know what I'm saying. You know, yeah, I mean
success it can only be measured in dollars and fame.
So I mean, how are you measuring it? Because we

(32:20):
both have some money in the bank, we both get
recognized on the streets. You're getting stopped for facetimes all
the time, and helping all lady across the street, and
people opening coffee shops that have been closed for you.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Your every day in three blocks. It's nice to be
in the same industry. And then somebody comes up it's like,
could take this.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
That's one of my favorite Colin Joe stories ever. Colin
was we were in New Orleans celebrating somebody's bachelor party
and Colin was with us, right. So Colin was there
and the show had been on for it was like
season I guess it was like season four or five whatever,
because Colin just it was his first season doing weekend update,
being on the desk. Right. So we're going around and uh,

a bare? And everyone's getting the phone to Colin. Could
you think it was me? Sally? Colin walk He's like,

then Colin was like, well.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Collins, had we did radio together in Nashville once. Yeah,
this is my favorite.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
This.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
This is when, like, you know, this industry will always
put you in your place.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Oh, sure always.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
And we're doing a radio show because Colin and I
are doing a night at Zanies together and this guy

Lampoon and Colin's like, yeah, I did that, and he's like,
tell me about it.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
So Colin tells me about it.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
He's like, and then you became head writer from the
Lampoon of Saturday Live and you're like twenty four years old,
So tell me about that. And Colin's like, yeah, I'll
tell you about that, and so the guy's like, my god,

And then he goes to me. He goes and Steve,
you're Mexican. And I was like, that's what You're a Mexican.
Do I even look Mexico? I mean not that would
be an insult.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Mexican's like a first race you.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, my last name is Burned. That doesn't even sound Mexican.
I'm definitely half Asian. Yeah, you could pick it. Just
it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
And what did you say?

Speaker 3 (34:59):
We we absolutely, I mean Collin especially, we both justled over.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
I was crying. I was laughing so hard.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
That's oh my goodness. I hope you said yeah, great.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
No blame. Sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
But have you had what was one where you got
kind of stiff armed, where you got put back in
your place? I'll tell you mine that that And I
think I might have told you this, but but people
constantly to this day.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
How do I know you where do I know you
from constantly?

Speaker 3 (35:33):
I get it all the time and and I don't
answer it. I go, I don't know how you do it.
I don't know how, you don't know why? Yeah, I
guess that's on the plane.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
What will happen a lot on the plane was the
person sitting next to me doesn't know me. Somebody's coming down.
The thing flips the fun out joke we take a
selfie to take a self me, I'm on the plane.
The person next to me goes, oh, I don't know you?
Who are you?

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Right?

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:53):
I mean you answered the question like I'm not gonna
selling I was like, oh, I said, I said, oh,
I said, Now they just know me and they're like,
oh but from where? Oh what do you do? And
then like I'm not going to sit here and read
my resume, Like it's just if you don't know me,
don't know, And honestly, that's fine. I don't care if
you don't you know. I don't not need people to
know me.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
But that's it's just what's what you are is one
more person to know who you are, right.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
It's just weird to like try to explain yourself to
what you know because it's kind of like asking, oh,
what do you do, but in a different way, it's like, oh,
why should I know you?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Or how about this one? Should I know you?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
And I know he's the best. Yes, But I love
when you get pictures like, oh, I want to take
a picture. You're my boyfriend's favorite. Oh my dad watches you.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Just you want it? Just take a sure? Cool?

Speaker 3 (36:34):

one of those. It just depends what I'm feeling. McDonald's probably.
I'll do a quarter pounder, large size, no onions, extra pickles,
large fries. I'll get a four piece nugget on the
side just in case.

Doom me up with a Coca Cola and I'm out.

probably sleep for an hour and a half. My kids
will come home. I'll play baseball with my son. I
play volleyball with my daughter. I'll grill something nice on
the grill, and then I go back to the couch
and I sit there and I don't move for the

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Should you watch a movie like at your desk?

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Now I have in my office. I have a little
set up with a TV and a little couch. Yeah,
your day off is like still work. Yeah, sure, I'm
always working, baby, dude.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
How can you just shut your eyes and imagine waking
up at one point thirty Yeah, getting in your car
and just eating McDonald's.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Like, that's what better way to start your I mean
that's so yeah, yeah, I mean it works for you.
Your day sounds like too much, it's too much of nothing.
I would go crazy. Oh I love it, Yeah, love it.
But when you're but you're like when you're on the road, though,
you do a lot of that's what I work. Well, yeah,
you do a lot of that. So my road, my road.
I'll I'll video game on my sweat a little bit.

(41:58):
I'll watch movie vies you know, right now at Selda,
But it could be anything. But I'll do like you know,
I'll do that kind of stuff on the road. But
when i'm home, it's more about like, Okay, i'm home,
let me figure out what this, you know, hang out
here and help out with the fam and help about
the The dogs are a big thing like that. That's
a that's a huge part of my life. It's basically
a second job.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
If you didn't have the dogs, how much, how much?
How much time of your week would be back to you.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Days six days. Yeah for sure. Yeah, I mean it's
crazy the amount of dogs, the work that it is.
I mean, run the nonprofits is another job.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
So what got you into the dogs? Just curious, like
what west instag.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Started at all? Yeah? Best he started with the rescuing.
And we got Pascotti. He was my favorite dog. Yes,
and we got Paiscotti.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
And were you always a dog person?

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Like as a kid, I had a dog grown up,
one dog. I had one dog my whole LIFEHO lived
seventeen years. I got what they got when I was one,
sixteen years. I got her when I was one, and
then she died when I was seventeen. Yeah, beautiful little
snows are name Midnight. She was the best, so she
I had one dog growing up. Then we rescue. When
we rescued the Sky, we got Canoli. We bought Canoli,
and there was all these health problems and we're like, oh,

(43:04):
this isn't good for us. We should a little bit
of research. Bessie dove In found out about all the
puppy mills and all this bullshit about how bad it
were breeding and whatnot. And then we just opened our
eyes to rescue. And then we met Piscotti got Piscotti
loved Piscotti loved the feeling of rescuing, and we just
started down that path. During COVID it really stepped up.
And then we said, you know what, we could do
more good if we started our own nonprofit and helped

(43:25):
fund these dogs home instead just collecting as dogs. So
we started doing Get Up Pups and Friends as you know,
which is the non profit. And with that we started,
you know, doing the rescuing and then also just giving.
They call it fospus when you're foster in hospice a
dog that's dying so it doesn't do on the shelter.
So we started doing that. We got a bunch of
half dead dogs at the house and yeah, I just

(43:48):
it just takes a lot of work.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
To do your house.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Is like like if Michael Jackson was a dog, like
you could do the Thriller video with all the dogs.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
It looks like the it looks like the turtles from
the from Mario. You know, that's that's right, that's do
take up in the morning.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Like but no, no, he's got to take it.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Yeah, I mean, some of them are most of them
are cute, some of them are.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Just why is it.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
When you have thirty dogs, it's like, Wow, that's awesome.
But if you have thirty cats, it's like that's a
crazy person problems. What different cat?

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Because the cat and the dog cats are just stupid
and disgusting and dogs are awesome.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Like, I don't disagree with you.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Do you hate your cat?

Speaker 1 (44:28):
I hate my cat? Your cat?

Speaker 2 (44:30):
You had a cat who used to retaliate against your slippers, right?

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah? Thriller, thrillers. Thriller would ship my shoes.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Yeah, there you go and pissing my pissing my shoes
and ship my my dogs.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
My dogs only ship on the linoleum. They're gonna have
an accident in the house. They know to go to
the linoleum stay. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
How severe? Is the beating pretty bad? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, pretty bad. I don't want to really talk about
it on here, but it's bad. Ben and then.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
M hmmm, uh Cole, I believe it's one.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Here's my question, Hi to cool mommies. My name is Colleen.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Yeah, Cole c O L E. Colleen has three extra.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
No cole two l's c O L L.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
So how would you say that c O L L
is her handle? How would you say that?

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Oh? You just looked at her handle and he said, Hi,
it's Colleen.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
No, no, the the the name at the top is
c O L L.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
That's what I always do right there, So how would
you say that?

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Cool?

Speaker 1 (45:41):
That's what I said.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Okay, but then I yeah, when you read them, why
are you reading them first fore you jump in? Because okay,
that's great. I love the It always works out for us.
If we look at a highlight reel of all the
times you nailed it on going by the handles sign,
who names the kid numbers signed?

Speaker 1 (45:58):
It says, Hey, Steve, it's yeah, I'm like, I'm a dipshit?
All right?

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Is Colleen from Cleveland, Ohio? All right, let me let
me know when you guys are here. I'll buy you
both dinner.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
We'll be very sweet of you.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
We'll be there.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
My question is I want to.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Sorry, Joe Gottofficial dot com, take a look at the
tickets and I'll let you know when I'm coming there.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Are you going to Cleveland soon? Yes? Sam, By the way,
lovely city.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
People dumb on all the time on for Pittsburgh, people
hate on Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
I love Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
You're coming.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
I am am I going with you.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
You just I just invited you and you said, yeah,
so Steve will be there too.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
My question is, oh, boy, I want a tattoo to
represent Joe and Steve. You guys have helped me single
handedly through my father's passing, and I re listened to
your podcast always. I want something on my body to
show for it. So for each of you, what tattoo
would you want to represent you each on my body forever?

Speaker 1 (46:54):
I'm not a tattoo guy.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Now, well, I think she's just asking what, let's say hypothetically, yeah,
what picture if it was in picture form, what represents you?
Look at you go, oh, that's very Steve Burn, not
a picture of you? Like what it would be?

Speaker 1 (47:08):
I would like for me nobody brand?

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Okay, good for me. I would say, I've done this.
A lot of people ask me a lot what can
they tattoo? Because I'm famous, so people ask me all
the time, what tattoo can I get of you? Something?
You have to deal with? It was the extra because
I'm famous, the problem. I would say the thing that

(47:37):
I do because people ask me, oh, I want to
get a tattoo, blah bl blah, could you give me something?
So I draw a paw, but I use a heart
as the middle part, so there's a heart in the
middle and it turns into a puppy puppy paw with
a heart and then print. So that's what I've been doing.
But I also have signed people and they've tattooed my
name on them, which is a little weird too. I've
had that happen a lot.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
How does that make you, because it's like it seems
a little they're doing it because they appreciate you so much.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
That's crazy that I've affected somebody so much that they
want their name tattooed forever on me. My daughter to
my wife doesn't have that, my daughter doesn't, my son,
but this stranger in Cleveland, Ohio does. So like I
I started doing that, I think that's good. I mean,
if you're going to do something that represents me and you,
I mean I would do ying Yang Parmesan, right, I

(48:23):
would do a Yin and yang and on one side
to represent me, I'd be I'd be the white side.
You'd be the black side because are a little barker
than I am, a little edgier. I would do the
white side, and where the little dot is, I will
put a die and like a dice because I love
to gamble. And then on your side, I would put
a slice pizza because you love to eat.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
I I do, I do. I would think it'd be
weird for a girl to have a slice of pizza.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
A martini glass, sure, a martine glass with shot glass.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
Shockless with whiskey, or four leaf clover, four leaf iris,
a little irish and yang.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Yeah, I love that. You don't like that.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
I don't like that. I a dice four leaf clover, yeah,
or a.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Poor print was probably better than a poor print for
me and.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
For an Italian morn for me?

Speaker 2 (49:08):
No, yeah, a sombrero. You're Mexican? What over this?

Speaker 3 (49:13):
You got my sombrero? I have one, and I'll answer
this next one. Yes, I'll read this next one in
my best Spanish accent. I can because when I have
my sombrero on, I feel a little more.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Uh, a little more. I want to give it a
little more spice.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Okay, please do thank you? Mark, Okay, Okay, So now's
when we hit the mute button so we don't get can.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
Ola. Me goes me. I'm a stay on.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
You do look really Mexican when you put a sombrero
no me, Gusta, sorry.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Hi mommy's I'm glad you guys are back. I need
some advice. Just found out my boyfriend twenty five has
been flirting with girls at his work and lying about it.
A few of the girls that come to me and
proof and he eventually admitted to it. After he admitted
to it and said he would change, guess what happened.
He did this again with different girls at his work.

(50:10):
Would this be grounds for termination or is there a
chance to really change? I need some real mommy advice.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
No, Willow Well Willow, as my amigo Steve here will
tell you, I'm pretty quick to write off people. You
gave me a shot, he said, No, I would probably
say it's time to step to get to step in.
That's rough. That's a rough one because he lied about
it on top of it and he got caught. So
then you're like, don't do that. You did it, stop
doing it. And then he did it again. I mean

(50:39):
he clearly is and he's just not invested in the
relationship clearly.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Yeah, he's twenty five.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Yeah, he's not invested in it.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
He's big man on campus at this Chipoltan. Everybodyeah, everybody
lost to the bolt.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
But here's the thing. It's one thing to flirt, he's
the extra walk. It's another thing to.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
The extra walk.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
That's it's another thing.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
To like take it to a level where girls that
he works with are communicating to his girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
He's not saying you look cute today, like something.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Yeah, Like there's harmless flirting, right, but sure does it
I think right, of course, But to like to a
degree where it's it's making people uncomfortable or they have.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
To report you to the authorities being your girlfriend. Yeah,
I think you're coming too hot. And I think if look,
if she didn't already talk to him, I would say, okay,
talk to him and blah. But she's already taken that step.
So that's that seems like a termination for me.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Yeah, you had to talk with him.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
He said he would change.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Then he went to a new batch of new bat
picked a where guy working by the way.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
When he got some new halopenos, he picked them out.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
But usually it worked. There's like one or two.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Loopy. Oh No, I've in situations where there's been plenty
of pretty girls to work, like when I worked at Nordstrom.
Oh my god, it was like super models upstairs in
La the girls I work there.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Yeah, I want to find out where he works and
if they're hiring not for me, not for me though, yeah,
totally for friends.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
Okay, Well, would you say get rid of him?

Speaker 3 (52:13):
I would definitely say, uh, yeah, he's he's I think, look,
you had you had to talk once.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
You can't have that second second talk for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
So he's shown his greatest weakness and it's flirting with people.
Then you don't want him to that's right.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
And you are enough, Willow, Willow, you might be I
don't know you.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
You are enough or you should be to whomever it is.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
That's what. You're enough for somebody and just might not
be this person. Thanks for listening to the two cool
moms the time. You might be enough for somebody, it's
just not this person.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
