Speaker 2 (03:06):
This year, we're gonna try to do some big things here,
try to do some bigger things this year. We're going
to figure out some other ways to make it keep
going and growing. Because Bessie's just doing a great job
with it, and we've been having so much fun.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, and it's become a real part of the fam,
real part of the real part of the mission of
being a Gatto.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think, how did you get into just curious? How
did you, like, when did you nurture like your appreciation
and love for dogs?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
When did that happen?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I think through Bessie, Like, so, we got Biscotti, our
first rescue ten years ago, and I think that was
a big thing for me when we realized how much
a rescue dog happens.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That is. Yeah, I think that's the one of Piscotti. Yeah,
that's Piscotti. There, that's Piscotti.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, but Scotti is one of our little uh, our
first rescue, our sweetest one. My up tied for my
favorite dog. I go back and forth between Hern's Pomoni.
Yeah in the picture right, Yeah, they're they're in the
photo there, that's right. So there's a photo here if
you'l watching on YouTube, there's a photo of me and
my two pups. And that got drawn by a fan,
(04:08):
which I love. I get a lot of I get
a lot of fan art. This one's actually good. A
lot of it is ship but that's a nice.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
One I get. I get so much people terrible I drew,
Oh that's what I look like.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
You really genuinely get a ton of gifts I do,
which is rich is very sweetier fans.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I don't mind. Listen the moment of the handing off
the gether. I always think it's so nice and I
appreciate that someone to think of you.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Right. For me, it's when I see what people think
I look like and it's like, oh, I look like that,
and then it's like or reflex like, oh do I
really look like that? I need to get to the gym.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But if you want to feel bad about yourself, ask
a child to draw you, and they'll trud they'll accentuate
the worst parts of you.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
My son draws a jelly bean family, like you know,
he's a jelly bean aproached to it. You circle with
legs and arms and a smile, right as my son does.
And the I'm always six to seven times bigger than
any other.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm gonna need three more pieces of paper.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Except he drew Uncle Vinnie. Once he drew Uncle VINNI
wants right my brother in law, Vinnie, you know, Big Vin.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
And it was.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Hysterical, how big venue was everything else? Yeah, but uh,
I do like I do get a lot of fan art.
I do have gotten some great dog stuff. I've gotten
some really, my office is filled with a lot of
great fans stuff I've got to meet and greets and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I think it's really cool.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
What's one of the odder more eccentric pieces or something?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So I framed it a woman I had posted a
photo of me and my kids a selfie photo on
my Instagram, and she did it with shiny beads. She
recreated the photo with shiny beads, really, and it was unreal.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I actually got it from her. It took her forever.
She shared the story and I was.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
So sweet and I was like, wow, they take all
the time to do this, and it was like, it's
unlike anything I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Real. It's me and my two kids in the shiny
bead art that I framed in a tanging in my office.
It's heavy, it's nice. Yeah, that's pretty sick. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Also a little scary, a little bit little.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It has the same blood type as me. It was cool.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It was good to go back. So Bessie got you
involved with the dogs. Yes, and then you guys both
is that something that a bond was just another asset
to the relationship between you and Bessie where it's like,
let's foster this part of our relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Literally were literally her dream and literally I was like, okay,
am I, I'm going to dive in and support this thing.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So we we we.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Did it, and I was like it really was like
just such. She feels like it speaks to our heart.
It's her mission, it's her purpose, right, and you know
when you love somebody and you want to support them,
like it's like a right, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So you know, it's funny. We make jokes. You know,
it's very expensive because they're old.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And I always say, I gotta go to work for
the dogs, you know, like that's what we do. Like
holcome when she'd be like, hey, we just found this
one and it needs a surgery. We have one dog
that we spent over thirty grand on to save, which
is real crazy, yeah, and lives with us.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It is one of our pack now. Because you know,
it's French fry. Because you're pretty cut and dry kind
of guy.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Yeah, you seem like you know, you know, but to
know that you would go the extra distance thirty grand
on a dog.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I mean that's yeah, yeah, I was like this better limp.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
But you know, it's it is. You know, we get
a lot of support from the community, which is good.
You know, a lot of people kick in. We've got
a great network of volunteers. We do a lot of
things right. But it's like it's senior dog is like
no joke. It's like, you know, these things, you get
them and messed up situate. Most of them are abandoned
because people can't afford to fix them or help them. Yeah,
you know, so you get these dogs coming in the door,
which are you know, got the limp or the tooth
(07:38):
or the tongue of.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The cancer, and you're like trying to help them. They're
not pretty. They're not going to Westminster.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
They're not Westminster there, they're there east they're Eastminster.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
They're from the other side of the track, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
But they're you know, they get in the We get
a lot that they like the vets are like all
this dog ones got a couple of months and then
they get in a loving home and these sons of
bitches they just come back to life and they're like
like puppies again and they live longer, and so it's interesting.
But we've been doing great with a lot of homes,
a lot of people you know, coming into UH to
help us with with adoptions. It's been really great that
they have rewarding years. Bestially literally broke into tears two
(08:13):
days ago because she got a picture an update from
somebody about the daughter cuddling this dog. That what we
had was like on its way out and gotten into
a loving home. We had helped rehabilitate it. We had
to remove an eye, and it was so sweet that
she sees this little girl cuddling her dog. And she
started crying, and I was like, this is why we
do it. You know, it's unbelievable. So's yeah, it's really
really cool. And uh, you know, I love dogs.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And now my dogs that we are getting old, you know,
they're older now.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But Scotty, my girl, we got her one and a half,
she's ten and she can't get up on the bed anymore.
You know, I'm gonna have to like lose her and
it's gonna be like, ah, so gut wrenching, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, because uh, BEMONI went on the road. Money comes
on the road.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
With me and my little girl.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, she's my littlest she I adopted her on the road.
She's eight now, she got some she got some time left.
She's any dog, so she'll be around in like a
little monster. She'll be a little goblin. You know, we
have a seventeen year old at our house, Mocha. We
had a sweet sixteen for her life. Can I guess
something comes out in the middle of the night you
come downstairs.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know the power of price compel. You're like one
of those I swear to God that thing is you.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I don't know if we talked about this last time,
but there was there was a moment where, oh, I
came out for your book, ready for your book read,
and because of where, because of where we were, you said,
you know it, just stay at my house.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And I was like, okay, great, and you're you have
a gorgeous home and your family's fantastic and your kids
are so sweet. Light comes, and it comes anytime you
hear this many compliments like.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Knock. You go, okay, we're going to put you in
this guest bedroom.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I go, okay, great, and it's a beautiful guest bedroom
and it's right next to the bar, which I appreciate.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You're like, now just so you know, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Like, oh God, here we go.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
You go, Uh, there's a like a kettle underneath your.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
The rescue is in the basement are sanctuary, and you're
right above two dogs, and you're gonna hear something that
you've never heard anything. You're like, the dog, it's gonna
sound demonic, it's gonna sound like not a dog.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You're the house is not possessed.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Just you know, you're gonna hear it like six in
the morning, seven in the morning. So I was like okay,
and I'm thinking, okay, this is hilarious.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
And then.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
The fellows then.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Here, like what the fuck is that? Like what you
said couldn't even prepare me for what the what noise
is that? Because it's I've never by the way, not
even a dog, like an animal.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I've never heard that in my Like.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Like no, Sperato should have like they should have recorded
it and used it in ar It was unlike anything
I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And we had a dog at that point that was
making some that had a very weird and distinct bark
that was its part.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's Quo quota the park. Yeah, that was living under
you at that point.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, so we have since re home that when that
one got at home, so that one got a home.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
They all get anything.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It's like, oh you get a home, you get home.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
An if that dog can get a home, anything is possible.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Who adopted it, like Lucifer, like is crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's living in Transylvania. A beautiful name.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Man named van helsing it in No. But it's funny
because like you'll get some of those dogs like that.
But at feeding time, the house gets very loud, which
is interesting. Yeah, and the downstairs when the volunteers come
in to feed are the people that work with our
We have some wonderful women that work with our rescue
that come in to help feed and you know, do
(11:42):
it all. You'll hear the downstairs in the mornings. My
kids are such good sleepers, thank goodness.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't know if it's out of necessity, it's just because.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Pretty interesting that that they're gonna have that upbringing with
all those dogs and they're just gonna kind of become.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I said to my daughter, we talked about it all
the time. I was like, I was like, you know,
this is gonna be your thing. You know, when mom
and Daddy go, you're gonna have.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
All these dogs and she's like, you know, I have
some friends that only have one dog. Only She's like,
only have one dog. You know. It's it's interesting to
see that.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
But as our dogs start to dwindle, as they get older,
you know, eventually our pack upstairs at the Ghatto pups
is gonna start lower, and it's gonna be interesting to
see what that's like that only have It's crazy to say,
but to only have six dogs, that'd be half the
amount of dogs I.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Have, right, you know, which is nuts.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
But it is interesting because in my Facebook feed, just
the algorithm knows that I will watch, like, you know.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
We met this puppy on the side of the road,
and then it's a Dodo.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Dodo, yeah, Dodo, Yeah, So I follow Dodo and it's
just all these great animal videos and I'd say half
of them are like wounded or like neglected dogs that
you see the personality change and you see what love
can do it to an animal, and it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
In order a human order a human yeah, sure.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You see some of these despicable humans and they get
a dog. And if everyone don't shows them love and
it's so interesting, that's true.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, because the other way. I mean, look, my brother
came back from Iraq.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Definitely affected with PTSD and got a dog named Cracker.
And Cracker, I would say single handily changed his life
may percent.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And he would attest to it too. Yeah, And Cracker.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Passed away two years ago and my brother, you know,
it definitely affected him and he's waiting to get another
dog wanted.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yes, I know I put you guys in touch with
each other, but now but he is, uh yeah, it
really did turn him around. Absolutely, he was a lot more,
you know, because I think that a lot of things
is like in the nature of those guys, they they
just kind of they get super introverted. They stay sheltered
because they know they're going to be safe. Yeah, in
(14:00):
this particular environment wherever they're staying. And then having that
dog force my brother to get out and take walks
and get some sunshine, get some vitamin D.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
The bottom line is like nothing is happy to see
you as a dolt, Like you can't deny the fact
that thing doesn't care about anything and just as happy
to see you like that changes your you know, your
persona instantly, like even if like you're in the worst
mood or whatever happens, that dog comes up, Yeah, you know,
you'll just have them. I remember when I got separated
with Bessie. I remember I was living alone and before
I decided to take the two dogs with me. Bescotty
(14:31):
Spimoni lives with me. That's why I'm so tight with
them too. It was like completely changing experience.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I wouldn't I was.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Having fun, but I would say, wow, it was like
such a different thing that I have to exactly like
get up, get out, go take them outside, you know,
and just feel like, oh my god, I have a
little bit of a purpose or like just start smiling
and playing with them or whatever, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So it does for sure change it, so I could.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I can't recommend more adopting a dog and bringing a
dog in your home if you don't have them.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, it's great work that you and best do. And
if people want to get what is it.

of like you're you're going back, keep going forward, keep
pushing forward. And that's so cool that she doesn't want

just trying to help a little bit. You don't have
to talk about the mental health here.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
The fact that they're opening your house.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Is that's nice to them. They're doing it to be controlling.
We don't know this.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I don't want to get into it either, but I
would definitely I think there's always so much there is
progression to that.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Look you're talking to a guy. I moved back home.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I was living in mommy's basement for a while, and
I will say that it probably.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Inhibited my freedom.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I remember when I moved out finally, I was like, oh,
this is unbelievable to me out on your own and
do that. So I will say I did move back
in after I was moving it lived out on my own,
and I did feel like a heavy, like, uugh, this
isn't good. So I would definitely say stay out and
about and well, you know what, then you can entertain
your boy at your place, which is so nice.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, And I think in terms of like mental health,
you know, everybody's dealing with issues, right, Everybody's got things
they need to and what better time to do it
than when you can reflect on your own and have
your own space to do that in. And whether you
move in with your folks or whether you do it
five years or whatever, you're going to have to do
it eventually. Sure to just get to it now and
(19:39):
develop all those resources and be dependent on yourself, you'll.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Make it work better on you exactly. Yeah, that's what
I would say, bet on you for sure. How old
do you when you moved out? You moved across country
at a young bucket? What twenty one, twenty two.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Twenty two out of Ohio, went to New York, stay
with my folks for maybe four or five months, and
then I got a place on twentieth in dit Mars.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Nice roomy.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yes, I had a roommate, first roommate who was it Nicky?
Her name was Nicky? Uh romantical or just a situation,
just a she was. She was just my roommatemate. And
then things happened.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, Johnny Walker knocked on the door, and then so
you saw it was just a room and then she
moved down.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
How did you how did you find? Do you not
want at this? It's fine, it is what it is.
How did you find? Okay, what do you.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Want to hear?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
She was pretty hot? She was pretty hot? Yeah, So
what happened with uh? How did you find her? To start? Though?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Was it?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
We were working together at a perfect so Caroline's Comedy Club.
I was working there as a as a greeter, like
a you know, ye whatever, the host, and she worked
upstairs a comedy Nation, which was the restaurant that's now
Junior's Cheesecakes, and Caroline has gone now too, it's now
like a ping pong thing. But I worked down there
and she worked upstairs, and we got to know each other.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
She seemed super cool.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
So then you moved in with you see the same
thing happened with me and our good friend Justin in California.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
You guys, uh, very well, you know what.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
We don't talk about it.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I don't think of it, but me and Justin we
worked together and became roommates.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I think that's a big thing in life. Like you're
like you end up work like, hey, you need a roommate.
I need a roommate. We're both struggling. Let's get together,
you know.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
And by the way, one of the coolest dudes I've
ever remember, I say, the coolest dude I know. Just
a great, great hang. There's some people you meet instantly
go oh, this dude's cool. Yes, this dude's cool.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I like him.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Yeah, just a great hang. And what how fortunate are
you to have met somebody like that out of the
gates in l A right.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, in LA friend for life, friend for life man,
one of the best.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
But yeah, I think that's a situation. Well, maybe you
could find maybe she could find a roommate. She got
someone she works with, and it'll help these the bills.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, well I should bring up with the boyfriend. H Well,
I hope that helped. I think that felt that felt good.
That felt good.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I would say stay we're on the same page. I
would say, stay on your own.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
The next one comes from RJ, Hi, Joe and Steve
and Jiggy. I guess we'll just throw you in there too,
and Andrew.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Thanks r J.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
I have a relationship quandary I've been having for years.
My wife thirty and I he's thirty one, got married
last year, and we're still discussing the topic of our
last names. She doesn't want to take my last name,
which is fine, but when we eventually have kids, we
both agree that we want our whole family unit to
share a last name. To complicate the matter, I'm the
(22:45):
only male left on my side of the family able
to carry on the last name, and she only has sisters,
so she's in a similar boat. Do we hyphenate them,
pick the cooler one, make up our own, help me
cool moms, you're our only hope.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Wow, what's the name again? J rjj RJ's in.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
A tough boat because I'm actually the last burn. So
I was like, if I don't have a son, it's
over right.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Same deal, are you really? Yeah? Wow? And you got
you got Remo? Yeah? Sorry, yeah, but you got Remo. Yeah.
I didn't know if I was able to say the
name or whatever, my son's name. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Oh yeah, No, it's not he's not he's not Baltimore.
If you say three times, will pop out from behind
that planet with a calculator.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Got I do your taxes? No, that's that's that's interesting.
That's a tough boy. I wonder why.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Look, tradition says, Tradition says, you got to go with
the guy's name. I will say this, making up a
new name's bullshit. I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, that's not I you know, you leave it to
a coin flip. I mean you let fate decide somehow.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Maybe. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I think you maybe when you name the kid, you
see what sounds like a better last name. Making up
a new name is is tough, I think, because then
you lose both of you.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I don't like the hyphenated thing, you know what, you
know what we and I just did this just to
do it.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Her main names the middle name, Yeah, it's gonna.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Say my because my nickname for my wife is Jansen.
I was going, hey, Jansen, Jansen. And so one time
we shoot, we were out with her sister Lawn and
she's like, would you call her Jansen?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
She and she started laughing. She's like, that's pretty awesome.
So I call her Janssen. So our daughter. The middle
name is her mom's maiden name. That's I like that. Yeah,
I think you put the the loser of the name
goes as the middle name.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
When you guys pick one, I would just put the
middle in the middle, because the middle name is wasted anyway,
the hyphenated.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
It's not like that.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I don't like look the guy's name is. I'm just
a traditionalist. I like tradition and I think that you know, if.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I canna blame, I would say, I would say, the
grandfather fucked up. You only had daughters. That's not on you.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Shot Zil in the water.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
The name's dead. You gotta live with that man.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
That's it goes with you.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Uh No, I would say I. I would think that's
a nice way to do it. It's like put the
the middle name as the as the last name, but
the girls.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
You're you're going in between though. I'm staying with the girls.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Uh oh, you say the girl, I say, the wives
name is the boy name, and the boy gets that
because that's tradition. And it's like, okay, so she's got sisters,
she's got sister. Are they in the same dilemma?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I bet not. Ah, they might have a boy there
to carry it on or not. Yeah, yeah, interesting, Okay, Well,
I think I think I can see only so far
that to me would be and that's what I love
about you. You a line in the sand kind of fella,
and that's all you're gonna put right there. Then you
get this DP bitch sorry, wow, sniffery, snip. What's your pronouns?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
God?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Say it? You know you want to fuck her? All right,
so I'll take all that out. Yeah, So I would say, use.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
The middle phone answer dong wang, we gotta feed you lunch.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
The last thing, the last thing anybody thinks about anythink
about Dix's Asians is the two worst.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Wang. Sorry, Okay, we're way off course here, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I would say take the middle use that middle name
slot and and put put somebody's last name in there.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That's what I was, all right, Cool, we solved it.
Let's solve that one. Good luck to them, though. That'sms
like a tough one. I feel like there's not gonna
be a winter in that situation too. R J, your
wife sounds like a cunt? Do we cut that up?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
That's what that's a clip, that's that's that's the RJ's
wife is is the name of the episode. God, alright,
so you could just use that little.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I don't even know all the good stuff.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
This is the stuff we cut is always the funniest.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's always the funniest. Okay, we'll keep it. I love
the you see that Hollo Oat song.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
There's a guy in a studio, he's playing eight different
instruments and it's the one dent D D D den
it then it D and he goes, you're a cunt.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I love that video. That video makes me so happy.
It is because it's the it's the song. The song
has that little riff in it and then there's that
little he just says it. It's so perfect. It's such
a great video. Well, I'll get you that as a
T shirt for all right, we got to talk for
another one. Let's say it.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Okay, this one's pretty juicy. It comes from Live and
she says, my boyfriend broke up with me after over
a year. He completely blindsided me. I thought we were
hanging out, but he came to say he was done
with me and that he had trash bags.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Of my stuff from his place.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Two reasons for breaking up with me were one, he
didn't like the man he became because he got fatter,
became worse with his money because he spent too much
on me, which wasn't my fault that he bought me things.
He didn't hang out with his friends as much. Again,
not my fault, et cetera. And number two, he felt
a relationship with disproportionate. I am emotional and know how
(28:20):
to communicate and ask for help. He is the opposite.
He gave me things to be mindful of. A month
before the breakup. I worked on these things. He was
so impressed with how well I'd worked on them. But
then two weeks later he broke up with me for
entirely different reasons.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
What should I do? Oh, my goodness, Wow, you say juicy.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
I want both of us to go outside, get our
pants on, pull him up. It says juicy, juicy, and
we read them and then we sit down. Jesus is
very juicy. This episode should be called detail.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
My God, there's a lot here.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Wow, okay, lot. Well, your stuff's in the trash. That's
what I want to tell it. Take to talk to
put it in bad He's just throwing trash bags. He
got you out quick.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
He didn't want to deal with any of it, so
I just throw it all in this I will say
he did you a favor. From my point of view,
it seems like he emptied it all for you. He
gave you stuff to work on and you did that,
and then there was other problems. It seems like there's
just a lot of problems in this relationship. So I
would say accept it and move forward.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah. Look, obviously there's always two sides to the trash bag.
There's a recycling bent and there's the trash bag.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
By the way to your point, like that's there's there's like, right,
you could put it in a hamper, You could put it.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You could. Yeah, when it's in a trash bag, it
means did he nodded, even kno rip ripped it up violently?
That says a lot.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
And then to hear like he got fat and blaming,
it's like, what that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I don't like the person I becod.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
I mean at your fuck God, Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
She did it does seem like, I will say Devil's
advocate a little bit. She's not thinking any responsibility for
anything though, and what we're going there's a reason why
he broke up with you, right, And she's like, he
didn't like the many became not my fault, he didn't need,
he didn't spend it like he was it money not
my faulty bought me all this stuff, like it's always
just literally saying like okay, well like you did so
something went wrong, Like you know, it's not all it's
not built up out of no way.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Feeding him, it's like she's pulled out a trough and
like filling it with cool range doritos and go eat
you pig. Like he's making his own decisions. But then
he's blaming her for getting fat, right that.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
One of that one, I'm not with him. Not my fault.
I get it that.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I understand he's buying me nice things, not my fault,
Like you know, okay, a lot of not my faults
coming at me, And I'm saying she could be the
San Andreas a little bit.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Some of it could read fault, not my fault, some
of it is. Some of it something's got to be
our fault.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Yeah, I think, look, there's probably a warning flair there
hearing not my fault, not my fault, What is your fault?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, Because then she's saying a lot of stuff came
at me that was you know that he asked me
to work on this. Other stuff came out of nowhere.
So kind of it seems like he just wanted out
of the relationship too well, he couldn't wait to throw that.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Stuff communicated to her. Yeah, things that he didn't appreciate.
It doesn't sound like maybe she was accountable for him,
or maybe she was.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
She said she fixed them those things, yeah, but he
didn't give her these other ones. So that just makes
me sound like he just wanted out. Anyway, He gave
you stuff to work on, you fix them, and according
to you, not according to him, but you said you
fixed them. But then I guess, you know what, To
be fair, she did fix them, because he's not. He's
not pointing to them when he's bringing up with her.
He's pointing at different things now, So it just sounds
like he's grabbing at anything.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Just he wants you out. He wants to put you
into trash.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And he did that physically and mentally and emotionally. And yeah, yeah,
so that he just wanted out. So I would say,
it's just don't try to salvage it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It's over. Move on.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Year.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, no, they were, they were in it a year.
They were in it a year. Yeah, that's all year.
I mean three or sixty five. You get that back.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I know, it sounds like a lot, right, But they
say it's I think the grieving process is one week
for every month, really is what I've heard, So twelve weeks,
growth weeks, three months over it. But I think that's
also like, is what what's the science behind that?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
You know? Yeah, who knows. I don't know. You could
get mathematical with it like that. That's what I've read.
Of course, you read it, we get it. You read
Did you watch the documentary about it too?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah? Did you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
You probably did, right, the documented the science of the breakup?
Did you write say that's directed by John Polm. I would, yeah,
I would think. I think you're fine, right, I think
you move on from it. He's hurtful, you get out,
you're gonna get throw it though.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
She seems cool, like again you can glean things from
very detailed that there's a lot coming at us, at us,
but she's also like I think she's setting the foundation
for like, hey make an educated choice.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Here here's the situation. And yeah, if it's a year,
it's like nothing, it's really nothing.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Yeah, I know it sounds it's so easy to say
that to people, right, but you got so much road ahead.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
For sure, time for one more of another quick one?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
You got, you got? You got a mini one over there? Yes, okay,
give us give us not not as juicy steak, Give
us a tidbit.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Will you give us a skewer?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, give us an app?
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
This one's pretty Yeah, well you could. You could also
just make one up if you want. I can't do that.
I mean we can. If you don't have one, we
can just make one up.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
This one sounds good. Okay, it's from Tyler. This one's
a kabab. I say it's a veggie. It's not juicy,
but you know what, it's still good healthy. This one's
from Tyler. What advice do you have for a newly
engaged couple.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Oh, don't talk to anybody about it. Make all your
own decisions.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
You're gonna hear so much unsolicited advice and bullshit about it.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You're gonna spend that much on the wedding. You should
buy a house.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
But just shut up everybody and let us enjoy ourselves
for this one year we have before we're gonna be
hitched together and my train is locked to you and
we're just going through the road of life.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
And you don't know there's gonna be ice storms, it's
gonna be rough road, could be sunshine. You don't know.
Enjoy this moment because the rest of it is bullshit.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
A second, I would say, you got two people out.
That was the number one thing I would say about
engage with.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Just tune people out. Enjoy your own journey. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Right, By the way, that's great advice because you're gonna
you're gonna ask people for things and then people are
unsolicited gonna tell you things.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
You need to do this. You have to get that Oh,
talk to that guy. You're gonna love this.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
It's just like do it makes you happy. Yeah, yeah,
And I would say get to the butt stuff quick.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Quick quick? Why wait, you know you earned it. I
would say this too. This is something else I would say. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I will say treat it as a time. You enjoy it,
don't treat it like a job. A lot of people
get engaged like, okay, we gotta do this.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Look, we all know this to do.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
You got to plan this, do this, you know, deal
with the family dramas of integrating and whatnot. But I
will say, there's supposed to be an enjoyment to the engagement.
There's supposed to be you should be focusing on, Wow,
I found my person, I'm in love.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
This is great. We're gonna start our journey together in
our next chapter.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Definitely revel in that and don't get caught up in
the in the administrative stuff that comes with engagement.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yeah, I think if I it's interesting to say that
because I've looked back on my marriage.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
A handful of times, like the actual wedding.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Itself, and I don't think I ever gave myself enough
time to really enjoy it because everybody's there. You're like,
oh my god, they're all here. You gotta take the picture,
you got to shake the hands, you got to thank
you for oh my god, you flew from where. It's
just like right, and yes, you want to do that, right.
You want to acknowledge the people gave up a weekend,
people got a hotel, they got air fair, they got
(35:50):
to fill a thousand things to do too, but they
came out.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Of course, you want to acknowledge that.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
But it is kind of like as much as it's
her day, because every girl dreams of it, like very
what dude dreams of this wedding? Yeah for sure, right, oh,
like but I do wish I enjoyed it a bit
more because it was more like, okay, are you happy?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Is everything?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Like for my wife, especially when it comes to the day,
I will say, you are going to be spending a
lot of doing a lot like you really just need
to remember, eat, drink and laugh, like that's what you
need to do.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Like that day, it's got to be something you want
to make memories of. You want to do that stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
You don't have to worry as much as you think
about being a host and people see people already there
celebrating you.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, bump into people on the dance floor. It's enough.
You don't have to go table to table. I thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Oh that's it's just making a party, make an experience,
but mostly make it for you too, because you're the
one paying for it, right, You're gonna have all this time.
You want to get something out of that day. You
want to be memorable for sure.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Take that moment before with your boys.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yeah, that's one of my favorite memories is just hanging
out with that with the fellas before and just I
remember doing a shot with everybody and just having it
was like, wow, this is this is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I remember we were all just laughing, getting dr I
love getting dressed together. That was fun. Yeah, we got
the tuxes together and all that or by knt of
the apartment. I thought that was really cool. So fun thing,
fun hanging there was some food out. We just hung
out and stuff. I think it'sportant.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
You enjoy, enjoy it and again like to your to
your point, Joe, like that's something you guys are going
to do together that you'll never do together again. That's right,
and it's the most exciting. You might do it again,
but biggest cross you don't. But you know, enjoy that,
Enjoy all those decisions, because that's that you guys. It's
the beginning of a brand new life and a commitment.
(37:30):

and we ran the numbers while we did our little toast.
We have saved one hundred and ninety six dogs come
since inception, one hundred and thirty four have been adopted
out to homes. Wow. The other ones either ended up
as a.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Ghatto pupp or had passed on and we gave a
hospice situation at our house, or we're unable to say,
but we gave it a good shot.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So two hundred lives, two hundred lives have gone. You've
changed for the better, for the better. Congratulate that, which
is great.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, and Ghetto Pups is still running strong, Gatto Pups
and Friends dot com.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
That's it. You got it going, got a little going.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
This year, we're gonna try to do some big things here,
try to do some bigger things this year. We're going
to figure out some other ways to make it keep
going and growing. Because Bessie's just doing a great job
with it, and we've been having so much fun.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, and it's become a real part of the fam,
real part of the real part of the mission of
being a Gatto.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think, how did you get into just curious? How
did you, like, when did you nurture like your appreciation
and love for dogs?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
When did that happen?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I think through Bessie, Like, so, we got Biscotti, our
first rescue ten years ago, and I think that was
a big thing for me when we realized how much
a rescue dog happens.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That is. Yeah, I think that's the one of Piscotti. Yeah,
that's Piscotti. There, that's Piscotti.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, but Scotti is one of our little uh, our
first rescue, our sweetest one. My up tied for my
favorite dog. I go back and forth between Hern's Pomoni.
Yeah in the picture right, Yeah, they're they're in the
photo there, that's right. So there's a photo here if
you'l watching on YouTube, there's a photo of me and
my two pups. And that got drawn by a fan,
(04:08):
which I love. I get a lot of I get
a lot of fan art. This one's actually good. A
lot of it is ship but that's a nice.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
One I get. I get so much people terrible I drew,
Oh that's what I look like.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
You really genuinely get a ton of gifts I do,
which is rich is very sweetier fans.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I don't mind. Listen the moment of the handing off
the gether. I always think it's so nice and I
appreciate that someone to think of you.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Right. For me, it's when I see what people think
I look like and it's like, oh, I look like that,
and then it's like or reflex like, oh do I
really look like that? I need to get to the gym.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But if you want to feel bad about yourself, ask
a child to draw you, and they'll trud they'll accentuate
the worst parts of you.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
My son draws a jelly bean family, like you know,
he's a jelly bean aproached to it. You circle with
legs and arms and a smile, right as my son does.
And the I'm always six to seven times bigger than
any other.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm gonna need three more pieces of paper.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Except he drew Uncle Vinnie. Once he drew Uncle VINNI
wants right my brother in law, Vinnie, you know, Big Vin.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
And it was.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Hysterical, how big venue was everything else? Yeah, but uh,
I do like I do get a lot of fan art.
I do have gotten some great dog stuff. I've gotten
some really, my office is filled with a lot of
great fans stuff I've got to meet and greets and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I think it's really cool.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
What's one of the odder more eccentric pieces or something?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So I framed it a woman I had posted a
photo of me and my kids a selfie photo on
my Instagram, and she did it with shiny beads. She
recreated the photo with shiny beads, really, and it was unreal.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I actually got it from her. It took her forever.
She shared the story and I was.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
So sweet and I was like, wow, they take all
the time to do this, and it was like, it's
unlike anything I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Real. It's me and my two kids in the shiny
bead art that I framed in a tanging in my office.
It's heavy, it's nice. Yeah, that's pretty sick. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Also a little scary, a little bit little.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It has the same blood type as me. It was cool.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It was good to go back. So Bessie got you
involved with the dogs. Yes, and then you guys both
is that something that a bond was just another asset
to the relationship between you and Bessie where it's like,
let's foster this part of our relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Literally were literally her dream and literally I was like, okay,
am I, I'm going to dive in and support this thing.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So we we we.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Did it, and I was like it really was like
just such. She feels like it speaks to our heart.
It's her mission, it's her purpose, right, and you know
when you love somebody and you want to support them,
like it's like a right, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So you know, it's funny. We make jokes. You know,
it's very expensive because they're old.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And I always say, I gotta go to work for
the dogs, you know, like that's what we do. Like
holcome when she'd be like, hey, we just found this
one and it needs a surgery. We have one dog
that we spent over thirty grand on to save, which
is real crazy, yeah, and lives with us.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It is one of our pack now. Because you know,
it's French fry. Because you're pretty cut and dry kind
of guy.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Yeah, you seem like you know, you know, but to
know that you would go the extra distance thirty grand
on a dog.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I mean that's yeah, yeah, I was like this better limp.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
But you know, it's it is. You know, we get
a lot of support from the community, which is good.
You know, a lot of people kick in. We've got
a great network of volunteers. We do a lot of
things right. But it's like it's senior dog is like
no joke. It's like, you know, these things, you get
them and messed up situate. Most of them are abandoned
because people can't afford to fix them or help them. Yeah,
you know, so you get these dogs coming in the door,
which are you know, got the limp or the tooth
(07:38):
or the tongue of.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The cancer, and you're like trying to help them. They're
not pretty. They're not going to Westminster.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
They're not Westminster there, they're there east they're Eastminster.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
They're from the other side of the track, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
But they're you know, they get in the We get
a lot that they like the vets are like all
this dog ones got a couple of months and then
they get in a loving home and these sons of
bitches they just come back to life and they're like
like puppies again and they live longer, and so it's interesting.
But we've been doing great with a lot of homes,
a lot of people you know, coming into UH to
help us with with adoptions. It's been really great that
they have rewarding years. Bestially literally broke into tears two
(08:13):
days ago because she got a picture an update from
somebody about the daughter cuddling this dog. That what we
had was like on its way out and gotten into
a loving home. We had helped rehabilitate it. We had
to remove an eye, and it was so sweet that
she sees this little girl cuddling her dog. And she
started crying, and I was like, this is why we
do it. You know, it's unbelievable. So's yeah, it's really
really cool. And uh, you know, I love dogs.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And now my dogs that we are getting old, you know,
they're older now.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
But Scotty, my girl, we got her one and a half,
she's ten and she can't get up on the bed anymore.
You know, I'm gonna have to like lose her and
it's gonna be like, ah, so gut wrenching, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, because uh, BEMONI went on the road. Money comes
on the road.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
With me and my little girl.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, she's my littlest she I adopted her on the road.
She's eight now, she got some she got some time left.
She's any dog, so she'll be around in like a
little monster. She'll be a little goblin. You know, we
have a seventeen year old at our house, Mocha. We
had a sweet sixteen for her life. Can I guess
something comes out in the middle of the night you
come downstairs.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know the power of price compel. You're like one
of those I swear to God that thing is you.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I don't know if we talked about this last time,
but there was there was a moment where, oh, I
came out for your book, ready for your book read,
and because of where, because of where we were, you said,
you know it, just stay at my house.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And I was like, okay, great, and you're you have
a gorgeous home and your family's fantastic and your kids
are so sweet. Light comes, and it comes anytime you
hear this many compliments like.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Knock. You go, okay, we're going to put you in
this guest bedroom.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I go, okay, great, and it's a beautiful guest bedroom
and it's right next to the bar, which I appreciate.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You're like, now just so you know, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Like, oh God, here we go.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
You go, Uh, there's a like a kettle underneath your.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
The rescue is in the basement are sanctuary, and you're
right above two dogs, and you're gonna hear something that
you've never heard anything. You're like, the dog, it's gonna
sound demonic, it's gonna sound like not a dog.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You're the house is not possessed.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Just you know, you're gonna hear it like six in
the morning, seven in the morning. So I was like okay,
and I'm thinking, okay, this is hilarious.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
And then.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
The fellows then.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Here, like what the fuck is that? Like what you
said couldn't even prepare me for what the what noise
is that? Because it's I've never by the way, not
even a dog, like an animal.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I've never heard that in my Like.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Like no, Sperato should have like they should have recorded
it and used it in ar It was unlike anything
I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And we had a dog at that point that was
making some that had a very weird and distinct bark
that was its part.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's Quo quota the park. Yeah, that was living under
you at that point.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, so we have since re home that when that
one got at home, so that one got a home.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
They all get anything.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It's like, oh you get a home, you get home.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
An if that dog can get a home, anything is possible.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Who adopted it, like Lucifer, like is crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's living in Transylvania. A beautiful name.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Man named van helsing it in No. But it's funny
because like you'll get some of those dogs like that.
But at feeding time, the house gets very loud, which
is interesting. Yeah, and the downstairs when the volunteers come
in to feed are the people that work with our
We have some wonderful women that work with our rescue
that come in to help feed and you know, do
(11:42):
it all. You'll hear the downstairs in the mornings. My
kids are such good sleepers, thank goodness.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't know if it's out of necessity, it's just because.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Pretty interesting that that they're gonna have that upbringing with
all those dogs and they're just gonna kind of become.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I said to my daughter, we talked about it all
the time. I was like, I was like, you know,
this is gonna be your thing. You know, when mom
and Daddy go, you're gonna have.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
All these dogs and she's like, you know, I have
some friends that only have one dog. Only She's like,
only have one dog. You know. It's it's interesting to
see that.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
But as our dogs start to dwindle, as they get older,
you know, eventually our pack upstairs at the Ghatto pups
is gonna start lower, and it's gonna be interesting to
see what that's like that only have It's crazy to say,
but to only have six dogs, that'd be half the
amount of dogs I.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Have, right, you know, which is nuts.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
But it is interesting because in my Facebook feed, just
the algorithm knows that I will watch, like, you know.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
We met this puppy on the side of the road,
and then it's a Dodo.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Dodo, yeah, Dodo, Yeah, So I follow Dodo and it's
just all these great animal videos and I'd say half
of them are like wounded or like neglected dogs that
you see the personality change and you see what love
can do it to an animal, and it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
In order a human order a human yeah, sure.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You see some of these despicable humans and they get
a dog. And if everyone don't shows them love and
it's so interesting, that's true.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, because the other way. I mean, look, my brother
came back from Iraq.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Definitely affected with PTSD and got a dog named Cracker.
And Cracker, I would say single handily changed his life
may percent.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And he would attest to it too. Yeah, And Cracker.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Passed away two years ago and my brother, you know,
it definitely affected him and he's waiting to get another
dog wanted.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yes, I know I put you guys in touch with
each other, but now but he is, uh yeah, it
really did turn him around. Absolutely, he was a lot more,
you know, because I think that a lot of things
is like in the nature of those guys, they they
just kind of they get super introverted. They stay sheltered
because they know they're going to be safe. Yeah, in
(14:00):
this particular environment wherever they're staying. And then having that
dog force my brother to get out and take walks
and get some sunshine, get some vitamin D.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
The bottom line is like nothing is happy to see
you as a dolt, Like you can't deny the fact
that thing doesn't care about anything and just as happy
to see you like that changes your you know, your
persona instantly, like even if like you're in the worst
mood or whatever happens, that dog comes up, Yeah, you know,
you'll just have them. I remember when I got separated
with Bessie. I remember I was living alone and before
I decided to take the two dogs with me. Bescotty
(14:31):
Spimoni lives with me. That's why I'm so tight with
them too. It was like completely changing experience.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I wouldn't I was.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Having fun, but I would say, wow, it was like
such a different thing that I have to exactly like
get up, get out, go take them outside, you know,
and just feel like, oh my god, I have a
little bit of a purpose or like just start smiling
and playing with them or whatever, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So it does for sure change it, so I could.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I can't recommend more adopting a dog and bringing a
dog in your home if you don't have them.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, it's great work that you and best do. And
if people want to get what is it.

I need wise input help.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
I've been on my own, working and traveling for about
three years now. I'm moving back to my home state
for grad school next year. I'm a teacher and twenty
six years old. Wondering if I should move back in
with my parents to save money or suffer financially, to
have stable mental health and continue living alone. Side note,
my boyfriend lives alone, so I feel bad constantly using
his place to get together. Please give me some of
(17:04):
your advice. Love you, mommy. Since day one.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
What's her name again? Lauren?
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I love Lauren. I love the fact that she got
that experience right. She sounds independent and so I would
not move back in with your folks. It's almost kind
of like you're you're going back, keep going forward, keep
pushing forward. And that's so cool that she doesn't want
to infringe upon her boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I mean, I don't know, you could you could just
you could, you could disseminate a lot of good stuff
about Laura.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Yeah, it's like I like her out of the gates.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
She's she's she's on a great trajectory and she wants
to She's being respectful to her boyfriend, being respectful to
herself with her parents, and being respectful to her parents.
I think she's just got She just sounds like she
got a great head.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
She dropped a little mental health thing in that I
guess sounded felt like a little bit of a dig
to the parents. That's true. But that's what that's what
you heard. That heard the little team pockup, ready ready
to pour some tea? There are we pull it off?
Pull it off there?
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Too hot?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah it's a little too hot there, too hot, too hot?
Too hot?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Baby?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Uh, you know she wants to She don't want to
pull a pole abduls. She don't want to take two
steps forwards. She wants to take two steps back.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
She wants to go right back in her own spot,
and I think, you know what, she needs to be
a DJ sassy cat.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
What's his name, j Scotcat, s got cat. She wants
to pull a scot Cat here. What I would say is
definitely live on your own, for sure, you know, but
maybe let's uh take it easy on the parents. They're
just trying to help a little bit. You don't have
to talk about the mental health here.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
The fact that they're opening your house.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Is that's nice to them. They're doing it to be controlling.
We don't know this.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I don't want to get into it either, but I
would definitely I think there's always so much there is
progression to that.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Look you're talking to a guy. I moved back home.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I was living in mommy's basement for a while, and
I will say that it probably.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Inhibited my freedom.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I remember when I moved out finally, I was like, oh,
this is unbelievable to me out on your own and
do that. So I will say I did move back
in after I was moving it lived out on my own,
and I did feel like a heavy, like, uugh, this
isn't good. So I would definitely say stay out and
about and well, you know what, then you can entertain
your boy at your place, which is so nice.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, And I think in terms of like mental health,
you know, everybody's dealing with issues, right, Everybody's got things
they need to and what better time to do it
than when you can reflect on your own and have
your own space to do that in. And whether you
move in with your folks or whether you do it
five years or whatever, you're going to have to do
it eventually. Sure to just get to it now and
(19:39):
develop all those resources and be dependent on yourself, you'll.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Make it work better on you exactly. Yeah, that's what
I would say, bet on you for sure. How old
do you when you moved out? You moved across country
at a young bucket? What twenty one, twenty two.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Twenty two out of Ohio, went to New York, stay
with my folks for maybe four or five months, and
then I got a place on twentieth in dit Mars.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Nice roomy.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yes, I had a roommate, first roommate who was it Nicky?
Her name was Nicky? Uh romantical or just a situation,
just a she was. She was just my roommatemate. And
then things happened.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, Johnny Walker knocked on the door, and then so
you saw it was just a room and then she
moved down.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
How did you how did you find? Do you not
want at this? It's fine, it is what it is.
How did you find? Okay, what do you.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Want to hear?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
She was pretty hot? She was pretty hot? Yeah, So
what happened with uh? How did you find her? To start? Though?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Was it?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
We were working together at a perfect so Caroline's Comedy Club.
I was working there as a as a greeter, like
a you know, ye whatever, the host, and she worked
upstairs a comedy Nation, which was the restaurant that's now
Junior's Cheesecakes, and Caroline has gone now too, it's now
like a ping pong thing. But I worked down there
and she worked upstairs, and we got to know each other.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
She seemed super cool.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
So then you moved in with you see the same
thing happened with me and our good friend Justin in California.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
You guys, uh, very well, you know what.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
We don't talk about it.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I don't think of it, but me and Justin we
worked together and became roommates.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I think that's a big thing in life. Like you're
like you end up work like, hey, you need a roommate.
I need a roommate. We're both struggling. Let's get together,
you know.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
And by the way, one of the coolest dudes I've
ever remember, I say, the coolest dude I know. Just
a great, great hang. There's some people you meet instantly
go oh, this dude's cool. Yes, this dude's cool.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I like him.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Yeah, just a great hang. And what how fortunate are
you to have met somebody like that out of the
gates in l A right.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, in LA friend for life, friend for life man,
one of the best.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
But yeah, I think that's a situation. Well, maybe you
could find maybe she could find a roommate. She got
someone she works with, and it'll help these the bills.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, well I should bring up with the boyfriend. H Well,
I hope that helped. I think that felt that felt good.
That felt good.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I would say stay we're on the same page. I
would say, stay on your own.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
The next one comes from RJ, Hi, Joe and Steve
and Jiggy. I guess we'll just throw you in there too,
and Andrew.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Thanks r J.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
I have a relationship quandary I've been having for years.
My wife thirty and I he's thirty one, got married
last year, and we're still discussing the topic of our
last names. She doesn't want to take my last name,
which is fine, but when we eventually have kids, we
both agree that we want our whole family unit to
share a last name. To complicate the matter, I'm the
(22:45):
only male left on my side of the family able
to carry on the last name, and she only has sisters,
so she's in a similar boat. Do we hyphenate them,
pick the cooler one, make up our own, help me
cool moms, you're our only hope.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Wow, what's the name again? J rjj RJ's in.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
A tough boat because I'm actually the last burn. So
I was like, if I don't have a son, it's
over right.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Same deal, are you really? Yeah? Wow? And you got
you got Remo? Yeah? Sorry, yeah, but you got Remo. Yeah.
I didn't know if I was able to say the
name or whatever, my son's name. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Oh yeah, No, it's not he's not he's not Baltimore.
If you say three times, will pop out from behind
that planet with a calculator.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Got I do your taxes? No, that's that's that's interesting.
That's a tough boy. I wonder why.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Look, tradition says, Tradition says, you got to go with
the guy's name. I will say this, making up a
new name's bullshit. I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, that's not I you know, you leave it to
a coin flip. I mean you let fate decide somehow.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Maybe. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I think you maybe when you name the kid, you
see what sounds like a better last name. Making up
a new name is is tough, I think, because then
you lose both of you.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I don't like the hyphenated thing, you know what, you
know what we and I just did this just to
do it.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Her main names the middle name, Yeah, it's gonna.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Say my because my nickname for my wife is Jansen.
I was going, hey, Jansen, Jansen. And so one time
we shoot, we were out with her sister Lawn and
she's like, would you call her Jansen?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
She and she started laughing. She's like, that's pretty awesome.
So I call her Janssen. So our daughter. The middle
name is her mom's maiden name. That's I like that. Yeah,
I think you put the the loser of the name
goes as the middle name.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
When you guys pick one, I would just put the
middle in the middle, because the middle name is wasted anyway,
the hyphenated.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
It's not like that.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I don't like look the guy's name is. I'm just
a traditionalist. I like tradition and I think that you know, if.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I canna blame, I would say, I would say, the
grandfather fucked up. You only had daughters. That's not on you.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Shot Zil in the water.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
The name's dead. You gotta live with that man.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
That's it goes with you.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Uh No, I would say I. I would think that's
a nice way to do it. It's like put the
the middle name as the as the last name, but
the girls.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
You're you're going in between though. I'm staying with the girls.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Uh oh, you say the girl, I say, the wives
name is the boy name, and the boy gets that
because that's tradition. And it's like, okay, so she's got sisters,
she's got sister. Are they in the same dilemma?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I bet not. Ah, they might have a boy there
to carry it on or not. Yeah, yeah, interesting, Okay, Well,
I think I think I can see only so far
that to me would be and that's what I love
about you. You a line in the sand kind of fella,
and that's all you're gonna put right there. Then you
get this DP bitch sorry, wow, sniffery, snip. What's your pronouns?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
God?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Say it? You know you want to fuck her? All right,
so I'll take all that out. Yeah, So I would say, use.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
The middle phone answer dong wang, we gotta feed you lunch.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
The last thing, the last thing anybody thinks about anythink
about Dix's Asians is the two worst.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Wang. Sorry, Okay, we're way off course here, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I would say take the middle use that middle name
slot and and put put somebody's last name in there.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That's what I was, all right, Cool, we solved it.
Let's solve that one. Good luck to them, though. That'sms
like a tough one. I feel like there's not gonna
be a winter in that situation too. R J, your
wife sounds like a cunt? Do we cut that up?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
That's what that's a clip, that's that's that's the RJ's
wife is is the name of the episode. God, alright,
so you could just use that little.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I don't even know all the good stuff.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
This is the stuff we cut is always the funniest.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's always the funniest. Okay, we'll keep it. I love
the you see that Hollo Oat song.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
There's a guy in a studio, he's playing eight different
instruments and it's the one dent D D D den
it then it D and he goes, you're a cunt.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I love that video. That video makes me so happy.
It is because it's the it's the song. The song
has that little riff in it and then there's that
little he just says it. It's so perfect. It's such
a great video. Well, I'll get you that as a
T shirt for all right, we got to talk for
another one. Let's say it.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Okay, this one's pretty juicy. It comes from Live and
she says, my boyfriend broke up with me after over
a year. He completely blindsided me. I thought we were
hanging out, but he came to say he was done
with me and that he had trash bags.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Of my stuff from his place.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Two reasons for breaking up with me were one, he
didn't like the man he became because he got fatter,
became worse with his money because he spent too much
on me, which wasn't my fault that he bought me things.
He didn't hang out with his friends as much. Again,
not my fault, et cetera. And number two, he felt
a relationship with disproportionate. I am emotional and know how
(28:20):
to communicate and ask for help. He is the opposite.
He gave me things to be mindful of. A month
before the breakup. I worked on these things. He was
so impressed with how well I'd worked on them. But
then two weeks later he broke up with me for
entirely different reasons.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
What should I do? Oh, my goodness, Wow, you say juicy.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
I want both of us to go outside, get our
pants on, pull him up. It says juicy, juicy, and
we read them and then we sit down. Jesus is
very juicy. This episode should be called detail.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
My God, there's a lot here.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Wow, okay, lot. Well, your stuff's in the trash. That's
what I want to tell it. Take to talk to
put it in bad He's just throwing trash bags. He
got you out quick.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
He didn't want to deal with any of it, so
I just throw it all in this I will say
he did you a favor. From my point of view,
it seems like he emptied it all for you. He
gave you stuff to work on and you did that,
and then there was other problems. It seems like there's
just a lot of problems in this relationship. So I
would say accept it and move forward.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah. Look, obviously there's always two sides to the trash bag.
There's a recycling bent and there's the trash bag.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
By the way to your point, like that's there's there's like, right,
you could put it in a hamper, You could put it.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You could. Yeah, when it's in a trash bag, it
means did he nodded, even kno rip ripped it up violently?
That says a lot.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
And then to hear like he got fat and blaming,
it's like, what that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I don't like the person I becod.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
I mean at your fuck God, Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
She did it does seem like, I will say Devil's
advocate a little bit. She's not thinking any responsibility for
anything though, and what we're going there's a reason why
he broke up with you, right, And she's like, he
didn't like the many became not my fault, he didn't need,
he didn't spend it like he was it money not
my faulty bought me all this stuff, like it's always
just literally saying like okay, well like you did so
something went wrong, Like you know, it's not all it's
not built up out of no way.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Feeding him, it's like she's pulled out a trough and
like filling it with cool range doritos and go eat
you pig. Like he's making his own decisions. But then
he's blaming her for getting fat, right that.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
One of that one, I'm not with him. Not my fault.
I get it that.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I understand he's buying me nice things, not my fault,
Like you know, okay, a lot of not my faults
coming at me, And I'm saying she could be the
San Andreas a little bit.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Some of it could read fault, not my fault, some
of it is. Some of it something's got to be
our fault.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Yeah, I think, look, there's probably a warning flair there
hearing not my fault, not my fault, What is your fault?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, Because then she's saying a lot of stuff came
at me that was you know that he asked me
to work on this. Other stuff came out of nowhere.
So kind of it seems like he just wanted out
of the relationship too well, he couldn't wait to throw that.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Stuff communicated to her. Yeah, things that he didn't appreciate.
It doesn't sound like maybe she was accountable for him,
or maybe she was.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
She said she fixed them those things, yeah, but he
didn't give her these other ones. So that just makes
me sound like he just wanted out. Anyway, He gave
you stuff to work on, you fix them, and according
to you, not according to him, but you said you
fixed them. But then I guess, you know what, To
be fair, she did fix them, because he's not. He's
not pointing to them when he's bringing up with her.
He's pointing at different things now, So it just sounds
like he's grabbing at anything.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Just he wants you out. He wants to put you
into trash.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And he did that physically and mentally and emotionally. And yeah, yeah,
so that he just wanted out. So I would say,
it's just don't try to salvage it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It's over. Move on.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Year.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, no, they were, they were in it a year.
They were in it a year. Yeah, that's all year.
I mean three or sixty five. You get that back.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I know, it sounds like a lot, right, But they
say it's I think the grieving process is one week
for every month, really is what I've heard, So twelve weeks,
growth weeks, three months over it. But I think that's
also like, is what what's the science behind that?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
You know? Yeah, who knows. I don't know. You could
get mathematical with it like that. That's what I've read.
Of course, you read it, we get it. You read
Did you watch the documentary about it too?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah? Did you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
You probably did, right, the documented the science of the breakup?
Did you write say that's directed by John Polm. I would, yeah,
I would think. I think you're fine, right, I think
you move on from it. He's hurtful, you get out,
you're gonna get throw it though.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
She seems cool, like again you can glean things from
very detailed that there's a lot coming at us, at us,
but she's also like I think she's setting the foundation
for like, hey make an educated choice.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Here here's the situation. And yeah, if it's a year,
it's like nothing, it's really nothing.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Yeah, I know it sounds it's so easy to say
that to people, right, but you got so much road ahead.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
For sure, time for one more of another quick one?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
You got, you got? You got a mini one over there? Yes, okay,
give us give us not not as juicy steak, Give
us a tidbit.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Will you give us a skewer?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, give us an app?
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
This one's pretty Yeah, well you could. You could also
just make one up if you want. I can't do that.
I mean we can. If you don't have one, we
can just make one up.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
This one sounds good. Okay, it's from Tyler. This one's
a kabab. I say it's a veggie. It's not juicy,
but you know what, it's still good healthy. This one's
from Tyler. What advice do you have for a newly
engaged couple.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Oh, don't talk to anybody about it. Make all your
own decisions.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
You're gonna hear so much unsolicited advice and bullshit about it.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You're gonna spend that much on the wedding. You should
buy a house.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
But just shut up everybody and let us enjoy ourselves
for this one year we have before we're gonna be
hitched together and my train is locked to you and
we're just going through the road of life.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
And you don't know there's gonna be ice storms, it's
gonna be rough road, could be sunshine. You don't know.
Enjoy this moment because the rest of it is bullshit.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
A second, I would say, you got two people out.
That was the number one thing I would say about
engage with.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Just tune people out. Enjoy your own journey. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Right, By the way, that's great advice because you're gonna
you're gonna ask people for things and then people are
unsolicited gonna tell you things.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
You need to do this. You have to get that Oh,
talk to that guy. You're gonna love this.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
It's just like do it makes you happy. Yeah, yeah,
And I would say get to the butt stuff quick.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Quick quick? Why wait, you know you earned it. I
would say this too. This is something else I would say. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I will say treat it as a time. You enjoy it,
don't treat it like a job. A lot of people
get engaged like, okay, we gotta do this.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Look, we all know this to do.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
You got to plan this, do this, you know, deal
with the family dramas of integrating and whatnot. But I
will say, there's supposed to be an enjoyment to the engagement.
There's supposed to be you should be focusing on, Wow,
I found my person, I'm in love.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
This is great. We're gonna start our journey together in
our next chapter.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Definitely revel in that and don't get caught up in
the in the administrative stuff that comes with engagement.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yeah, I think if I it's interesting to say that
because I've looked back on my marriage.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
A handful of times, like the actual wedding.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Itself, and I don't think I ever gave myself enough
time to really enjoy it because everybody's there. You're like,
oh my god, they're all here. You gotta take the picture,
you got to shake the hands, you got to thank
you for oh my god, you flew from where. It's
just like right, and yes, you want to do that, right.
You want to acknowledge the people gave up a weekend,
people got a hotel, they got air fair, they got
(35:50):
to fill a thousand things to do too, but they
came out.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Of course, you want to acknowledge that.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
But it is kind of like as much as it's
her day, because every girl dreams of it, like very
what dude dreams of this wedding? Yeah for sure, right, oh,
like but I do wish I enjoyed it a bit
more because it was more like, okay, are you happy?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Is everything?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Like for my wife, especially when it comes to the day,
I will say, you are going to be spending a
lot of doing a lot like you really just need
to remember, eat, drink and laugh, like that's what you
need to do.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Like that day, it's got to be something you want
to make memories of. You want to do that stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
You don't have to worry as much as you think
about being a host and people see people already there
celebrating you.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, bump into people on the dance floor. It's enough.
You don't have to go table to table. I thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Oh that's it's just making a party, make an experience,
but mostly make it for you too, because you're the
one paying for it, right, You're gonna have all this time.
You want to get something out of that day. You
want to be memorable for sure.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Take that moment before with your boys.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yeah, that's one of my favorite memories is just hanging
out with that with the fellas before and just I
remember doing a shot with everybody and just having it
was like, wow, this is this is pretty cool.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
