some amazing guests on the show, but you are definitely
the top favorite because you're You're everywhere, Joe. You do
everything and anything.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I love it, a little bit of everything. You gotta
entertain yourself. You got to constantly reinvent yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well, first off, let me let me ask you this,
because I there's one thing you and Melissa have in
common with my wife and I, and that's we're inseparable.
I can't imagine one night without her, let alone having
another woman in my house living with me, not necessarily
sleeping with me, but you know, in the same household
playing you know, housewife. How the hell did they talk
(01:45):
you into this?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I tell you, I tell you really for me when
when they first told me, I was like, well, my
wife first told me. She was the one that really
gave the problem. I wasn't the one when they told me,
I was like, yeah, I read do I think? I
was like yeah, you know, likeck, listen, you're looking at
the same menu. Think about you. Wherever you live, there's
only one restaurant, right, and it's you go to that
(02:10):
one restaurant. There's all the restaurant. Everything's closed. Yeah, for
twenty one years, I've been eating at the same restaurants.
Money when you go up on the menu and there's
one thing on the menu that's it. You know, so
sometimes you gotta change it up. You need Today, I
get some dirty dogs in fresh fries and gravy and cheese,
(02:32):
a hamburger, cheeseburger. You gotta switch it up. No, no,
but listen, true story when when when Melissa first told
me about the show, I was all for it. I'm okay,
let's try it. I'm into that. It was I was
no big deal. And I mean that one hundred percent.
Where Melissa was the one that she was. She was unsure.
(02:52):
You know, Melissa is very jealous, more very jealous. She's
more jealous, and I'm a little jealous, but she's super jealous.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And she's the one that came to you.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Oh yeah, because she obviously got the offer. They called her,
they got.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
The Okay, how did she present it to you?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
She said? Listen, you know they would you believe. She goes,
they want to do this wife swap like you know
you that means I gotta go sleep with the guy
at his house and you gotta the girl. I go,
let's do it. It took. It took. Let me tell
you something. She was she wasn't happy. She was very confused.
(03:32):
I mean, she was going through it. She's like, I
don't know. She had to get security. I mean she
I had a convince her. Basically, she for the first
three weeks a month, she was saying no, Yeah, I
was the one convincer. I'm like, are you nuts we're
doing this? I mean, let's do it. What could happen?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I mean, come on, we'll take us through the nitty
greedy of what they told you, Like, what's going to happen?
I got to put it out there. Obviously you're not
going to sleep with this woman, right, so that's off
the table. But what were the things that were presented
to you that were like, yeah, I could do that, Yeah,
I could do that. I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, I'm assuming that it was. I'm assuming it's like
a blind date. You don't see a picture, you don't
see anything, you don't know anything about the person. You're right,
and I assume you're not sleeping in the same bed
or do they make you at least sleep in the
same bed.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
No, she tried to. She knocked out my door. She
knocked on my door, and I's like, you know this,
this woman which I loved her. I'm gonna be honest.
I loved her. She's unseparable with her husband. They do
everything together, I mean everything, and like you, you guys,
we go to work, we separate. This woman did not
(04:42):
separate from her husband. They don't. They do everything together.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
She knocked on my door when I She's like, I
can't sleep alone. Can I say no? No, I'm only no,
no when you, when you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I don't believe that, Joe, because I know that she
doesn't like you know, Italian sausage, because she's a vegan,
so there's no way she.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Could have knock.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
How did you know that? I saw the clip.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That was the funniest freaking clip. I've been vegan for
two days. I can't wait to give you the steak
or the sausage.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
The sausage. So but Edwin, they don't tell you anything nothing.
It was very hush hush. No pictures, nothing about them, nothing.
It was very Yeah. I couldn't even call Melissa when
when it really went down, everything went down. Phones were
shut down, so.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You couldn't talk to your wife. The hotel talked to.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
My wife when she was gone. Soon as she left.
No talking to the wife. They honored everything, so I
couldn't tell her what was going on. She couldn't tell
me what was going on.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Cameras everywhere they put it was yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So they took it to back in the day where
they would just have everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Listen to everything, even in your bedroom when you were
a sleeping they wanted to hear everything.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Really wow everything.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it was like, yeah, it was good.
It was good. It was it was, it was, it was.
It was definitely a great experience. I could tell you that. Okay, yeah,
it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It really knows what what changed you? I'm assuming you're
saying great experience because something inside you changed or you
learned something really valuable about it?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
What what?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What? What was so valuable about it?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I mean, I I can't tell you much, but I've
learned that I did learn a lot. Like you know,
we're all stuck in our ways. Yeah, you know, you
guys were your wives. What happens is you kind of
become each other, right, Yeah, you know my wife drinks
Pollo grino, I drink Polyogrena. We both we just that's
(06:55):
all we do. You kind of become you know, the
same person. So now when you get somebody knew and
they got their different ways and the way they do things,
it's kind of it's it's kind of you know, it's nice,
it's fun. And then you with with our significant others,
it becomes more like, yeah, they love us, they adore us,
(07:15):
but we're with them every day, so they're on top
of us at all times. Right, if we do something,
they're yelling at us. They're always bitching. Tell the truth.
Somebody knew in the house was kind of it was nice.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You didn't get five minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
That was all nice. I wasn't get yelled at. You know,
we're not even doing anything wrong. We get yelled at.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I know, we walked.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
In the room from work. We didn't even do anything.
We're yelling. They're young. Take there, what do you do?
Go get the boxes from Amazon? Bring them inside. You know,
it's just like, how do you dare come in the house?
Did you see the box? I'm like, no, I didn't
see the box.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
You know, yeah, yeah, but it was so you were
you were you concerned?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Was there any concern that they might just send you
like a ten supermodeled type wife that Melissa is just
going to be wait a minute, this girl, this girl
cannot be in my house.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I tell you I wasn't concerned, I you know, and
I was hoping, you know, she was great.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
That did cress my mind, and I was going to
ask that, well, it's just like when you get a nanny, like,
do you get a nanny that's a ten?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Do you know?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Do you know that's not really going to happen?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Right? I had some nanny's there were tens, and I
was shocked that my life did. I'm like, holy, I'm like,
what's going on with you? You know? I didn't have
some tents, which was great. So and but all my
friends are like, listen, you're letting your wife go to
another man's house. And they they were losing it. You know, dude,
what's going on with you? Guys? Guys? When you're got thish,
(08:59):
she can go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
She's not gonna get the same thing anywhere.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
You know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
My father said, I didn't make them like this. I
made them like this. You know, I'm vertically challenged.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know that's funny, But no.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
It was it was it was, uh, it was good.
Obviously I trust my wife. There was no concerns. I mean,
you know you don't hear from her for four days,
you know, you know anything could happen. You know, yeah
we've heard you know, she could have fell in love
with this man, right and you're like, what the hell
did you never know? I can this woman.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Not not in four days, No way, it takes longer
than that.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I don't know about that happened.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Right Well, if you got a ten or eleven or fifteen,
maybe I could. I could see the potential in that.
But when you're still connected like you and Melissa are,
I just can't see anything like that penetrating that love,
that that that loyalty and that that you know, that
just connection with each other. And as you're talking, I'm like,
(10:03):
if I was to be in the same situation as you,
I trust my wife one hundred percent and the only
you know, the only insecurity would be if this guy
that looks like Rico Swab or something flies in a
G five lands in my front yard and takes her away,
then yeah, maybe I might lose her to that. But
generally speaking, I'm very confident that our connection is so
(10:26):
strong that there's no way that she would not come back.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Right Well, I I we thought, we thought that they
were sending us or sending Melissa to some billionaire's house.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, that's oh wow.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, because well that takes a lot of confidence on
your end. Yes, I mean, you did pretty well for yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But imagine these send her out to like some bachelor
type guy from like the early seasons where they used
to be just loaded, good looking.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Had everything going for him. Right. That's that's a big
risk there, and you still went with.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It because that's what we were hearing. There was some
billionaire that they were filming with. Some billionaire, that's what
we heard, and some billionaire husband and wife. And we
thought because where we were, we weren't when it gave
her the clothes that she was going to wear, because
they do say, you can you're not gonna be in
(11:22):
like the wilderness. You're not gonna be because some of
them went to some like the wilderness and you're not
gonna be here. So we kind of thought we were
heading to like lay she was headed to LA and
she was gonna be with some billionaire. So you know,
did I have a little concern And I'm like I
said to her, I said, maybe I was always playing
(11:43):
it because I'm always joking.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
What was that? What was that movie from the eighties
with w or.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Decent decent proposal?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That just reminded me of that with Robert Redford.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Right now, let me ask you guys something like, be honest, now,
all right, if if that ever happened to you? Right now,
how long you guys have been married? How long you've
been married?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I've been married twelve years?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Twelve years, and.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You ed, I'm on thirteen years but working on a separation.
So but thirteen years.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Say we all it all ends once in a while,
so it doesn't last for cancer.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Yeah, yes, yes, we just got some great news on that.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I've been out of the loop. Man.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That's good, God, pleas, thank you definitely, America.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
It's been a crazy year for us.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I'm sorry you're going through that, man, you know you're okay? Yeah,
everything okay.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Yeah, no, day by day. So first came to separation.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Then we found out about the cancer about five months.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Four months after that, five months after that.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
So first with the separate you know, I see, I've
been at a loop and I apologize about that, but wow,
so first she first she separated, and then yeah, the
cancer came.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
So the cancer came, and then and now we put
a stop to it until you know, we figured that
that part out, you know, for her health comes first.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Are you together in the house.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yes, I'll live here.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Like ninety percent of the time and just make sure
that she's you know, she's taking care of and the
kids are taken care of. And then I go back
at the end of the night to my other house.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Okay, so we're going through it. But yeah, we just
got some great news this week. So last week I
should say.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Wow, that sucks. I apologize.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Yeah, no, no, no worries. But ask us the question
you were going to ask us.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, well you were going to ask us some question
about being married for a long time.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
So we got thirteen years, I think Eddie, you were
you're working on what twelve?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, I you know, we we we always played his
game and we were playing it with my brother laws,
my two brother laws and my sister in laws and
the show was being it was on the TV. We
were all hanging out and the show was on. You know,
a lady, what was that in decent proposal? Yeah, we'll
start talking and we'll saying listen. So they asked me,
(13:58):
you know, that. Well, we asked my brother. I go,
I'm brother to my I go, would you if somebody
came to you, like a billionaire came and said they
want to take Lisa away? Would you would you do it?
And he goes, well, how much?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I go, everybody's got a price.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I go, I'm gonna pay you two million dollars. He goes,
a tax free two million catches. He goes absolutely, and
he loves her adores and they lovely, have the best relationship.
And now she's thinking, I go, would you She goes, well, Scott,
would you let me? She goes absolutely. She's like, okay,
two million dollars. She's like, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
So they were one night, just one night.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
They were talking about this all night. They talked about
it the next day. The following day, they're like, well,
if we got the two million dollars, we would do
this with the money, we would do say they were
all for it, you know. So yeah, I asked myself,
and I have to been married twenty one years and
I love, I adore my wife. What did I do it?
I don't know the first five years, ten years, absolutely not. Yeah,
(15:01):
twenty one years, you got but you do it. They
got to pay me a lot of money. I do
a lot of money. How much is a lot of money?
Would you guys do it? How much? How much would
you guys do it for?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I you know, while you're asking that question, I was thinking.
I think now that I'm in my fifties, I think
a lot. I think I'm a lot smarter. But I
would say that when I was younger, knowing myself, I
wouldn't do it. But the smart thing would have been
to do it then, because then you'll have a lot
of money to get ahead of life. Right, So two million,
(15:33):
three million, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Now that's not enough. That's not enough when.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I was young. Right today, it would be like a
billion dollars. You know I need a billion dollars. Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
You love her? Boy?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh, I love her.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He's in love with her, Tam, we got you.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Hooked, totally hooked.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All these days these days, it's crazy. Life is so expensive.
Things are changing, right, So you know you got maybe
ten million?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah that's your number.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Oh you want to know my number? Two thousand?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
No gas money, give me some gas, man, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
No, I'd have to be some good numbers, you know.
I don't know. I mean, you know, but that's what
what I do. It absolutely not. You know, I love
my wife, we have children and all that together. But
that's when we were doing a wife song. We thought
she would go to that billionaire. So think about that
as a man.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah right, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I was going to get his wife. I'm not a billionaire.
We thought there was going to be private planes, jets.
She's jumping on helicopters going there and I'm sitting here.
So yeah, it was it was, uh, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
The flip side of that is billionaires typically have hot wives,
I would think, right.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Agreed, yes, yes, and their wives are usually with them
for their money, not because they so right, And.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Then that's true, and billionaires are always looking for the
next thing, you know that.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Fight, it's the fight and can I get it? And
can I get that? I got all this money? So
guys like us, we're more We're more good, We're faithful,
We're loyal.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, we're we're about love. Yeah. I was gonna go
back a little bit, going back to the security thing.
You had security at home or she had security with her?
(17:37):
Did you both have security and what kind of security
did you have.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
So the first day we're filming and we're just about wrapped,
you know, cameras are like, all right, it's a wrap
eleven o'clock at night, and some big dude walks in.
He's about seven foot two. I'm look, he goes, I'm
(18:02):
security security. He goes, yeah, security. I go for a
what He goes, I was hired for security. I go, oh,
that's my wife set the security up. So I said, dude,
you can go home. Go buddy, you can go home.
He goes, no, no, no, he goes, I got it.
He goes, I'm contracted. So so he goes and sleeps
in the basement. The guy was so big. So my
(18:25):
wife had security, you know, at their house, we had security.
Everybody had security because you know, it's fair nation, so
if one person asked for it, everybody else has to
have security. So we had security for no reason. For no,
she was more like, listen, I'm going to sleep at
some stranger's house. She didn't know what could happen to her,
(18:46):
and I think, I think she's just super jealous.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
She had to protect the watch.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, I'm Joe Gorgon, Where in the hell of what
I can't do anything?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
You know, you watched Everywhere I Go Joe. You are
known for handing everybody in the party shots after shots
after shots of alcoholics. So you know how to start
a party.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I could party, but then I, you know, I go
home like a good little boy.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, and when you go home there's trouble there. So
if you let's say you go home after having those
party sessions and you have a tent waiting for you
at home, what do you think Melissa is gonna think?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah? I know, but I you know, so is it
like is it like Big Brothers?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So after eleven o'clock, everybody stops filming.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
But are the cameras still on after yes?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Really twenty four hours listening to everywhere every little crack
of the house.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Has a camera and the work wise, do you just
not work? Because I'm sure there's some things about work
that you just keep.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Private, that you have to keep private.

And yeah, so do you just I worked?
Speaker 4 (19:58):

Listen to boys? You know, you got teenage boys, they're like,
what the hell? You know, they're not into filming, they're
not into this, you know, they just want to go

not doing it. It was them, I'm not doing it.
You know, they want to know part of it. Like,
(20:39):

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Apple pay?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Apple pay? They got Apple pay do whatever they want.
I mean, they got the life right about when we
were grown up. Did we have Apple Pay? No, we
don't have anything. I think that's the worst thing you
could possibly do. You know, I do it because all
their friends have it. Yeah. I just started putting a
limit on it now, Oh good limit? Oh yeah, a limit.
I mean, they don't get out of control. My boys
(22:09):
eat a lot. They eat a constantly buying food. But
the craziest thing is when they take themselves out, like
the friends. They'll go to a nice restaurant to like
drive to New York City, I go, who.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Know what you think you are?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
That's a problem. Now, it's not a problem though, if
I know you put them to work, I know they
got your worth ethic, So it's not hard to justify.
If they are really good boys and they're just busting
their ass like you did, and you see the potential
in them and you're like, you know what, I'm going
to reward you. But if they're just taking advantage of
(22:47):
it and not really doing anything and not really you know,
going anywhere in life, that's a problem, right right.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah. I buy my kids, I give them. I almost
give them everything because they're good kids. Yeah ful No
matter where I go, Teachers, coaches come up to me
and they said, you have the most respectful you know kids.
They always I've not one, multiple people constantly, so it
(23:14):
makes me feel good. They work hard. Their their job
is their sports. They all played they all played three
different sports all my kids. That was their job. I
didn't want them to really work. I said, your job
is to play sports, because that is a job. You
have to listen to a coach, you have that responsibility.
(23:34):
You have to be to her at a certain time,
and it's all about respect and it teaches you to lesson.
So I wanted them to enjoy school, high school to
a certain level. And then once high school's done, they're
going to college. You're going to college. If you're not
going to college, coming to work.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
So, by the way, not to change the subject, but
I just learned about this thing called sex stortion that
I guess is happening a lot to teenage boys. Where
I mean, think about this is the different in the
difference in times where we're at today versus when we
grew up.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So, now there's girls sending you a pick of their
boobs whatever they want to send you, And of course
imagine being a fifteen sixteen year old getting that and
then the girl says, hey, well send me a pick back.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
But you're thinking it's.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
A girl, but in reality it's some guy that's not
going to extort you for money. But then says, hey,
now that you send me this pick, I'm gonna if
you don't send me x amount of money, I'm going
to send this out.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
To everyone you know.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And they pretty much know who your friends are already.
And most of the times they're targeting athletes and they're
targeting people that are affluent because they have access to money.
But I just thought like, how crazy that would be, right,
I mean, how crazy that is? Right when we grew up,
I mean, somebody sent me something, it's very easy to
say hey i' and you something back as being you know, male.
(25:01):
But yeah, not to change the subject, but it's just
reminded me of that teenage boys athletes and you know.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I think that's also called catfistian because when the social
media first came to market, I had a lot of
those sent you know, boop shots, naked shots, and and
they were asking for pictures of me. I'm like, I'm
not stupid me.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, I go, but imagine young thirteen, twelve year old boys.
I had to have a talk with my son about it.
I was like, hey, good, if if anyone ever tries
to ask you for a picture and it seems like
it's a girl, do not send anything.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
This is what's probably happening, right.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, My boys are My boys are hit to that.
They're very Uh, they're they're they're on top of the game.
They they already know, they're like, oh look at this state.
They're they're very How do I say man, they're just
very chill. They're very cool. They're so like respectful, but
they're boys, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, they're nice.
They're nice. Like I was a little bit more tougher,
(26:01):
meaning they're very tough. But I was more like, oh,
you know, but they're very like chill. And you know,
I don't know. I did. I did a great job
with them. I really did. I I'm so you know,
I'm proud of him. And I always say to him,
I said, uh, I always say I'm proud of you guys.
I'm proud of you know, because you guys, you make
me happy, you know, keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So, getting back to the show, how long were you
guys separated? How long did you shoot the show for?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh? Four days?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's it for four days?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Four days.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, oh that's not long enough, not long, not long, Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I was yeah, but four days is you know, if
you think about it, four days. I mean, for me,
it kind of like flew by. I was. I was
all right because I was filming. I was home. Yeah,
I'm home in my own house with my kids. She
had to leave, Yeah, to leave, going to someone else's home,
sleep with someone else's bed, you know. So it was
harder for her where I was, it was easy for me.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
So aside from being vegan, what was the first rule
that she tried implementing that you didn't agree with?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Her major rule was that she spent a lot of
time with me. And that's a lot of time. Okay, yeah, yeah,
I don't you know. In my house, I leave at
four point thirty five in the morning. I would work. Yeah,
I would get home till you know, seven eight o'clock,
sometimes a little later, sometimes a little earlier. But I'm
gone all day and I'm working. You know, I'm out.
(27:29):
You know, I'm my wife on top of me, next
to me in the truck, in the car, and the meetings.

the household. Yes, they're cleaning and organizing, and I tell you, man,
she's she's She really impressed me that. I really was
so impressed.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Mentioning, organizing. I understand that there was some level of
disorganization from the lady that stayed with it. What was
her name, Michelle s So she was a little bit
disorganized compared to your wife.

the housewives that I know from our franchise that did it,

So it's going to be interesting to watch. I'm really
excited to watch it.

to an actual farm.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
She went to a farmer. Yeah, she had a rough there. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah? I let him close. I let him close. You're right,
maybe I should do that. Maybe you should have him opened.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
I think that might be a dream of him, a
dream of his to be able to close.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
You'll be shocked. He's good. He's good. You remember, because
he was an attorney, used to speaking very well in
front of an audience, the jury that is that and
and he's uh, you know, I had to sit there
and teach him a lot of you know what, I'm good.
He just bust my balls the whole time. He really doesn't.
(33:08):
He roast me the whole time.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
That's hilarious. If BRABO allowed you to wife swap with
somebody you knew on the franchise, like any any other franchise,
what housewife a couple would you swap?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Wow?

But I like to go to Dubai. You guys have
been to Dubai.
Speaker 4 (34:57):

Speaker 1 (34:58):
I went u to go to I think two thousand
and eight when the economy was shit and all their
buildings were half built and the economy kind of just stopped,
and I went on a it was an EO event
and it was it was like the opportunity. It was
American Airlines, no British Airlines was flying a bunch of
(35:19):
entrepreneurs from all over the world to London. To do
a presentation by the CEO, and then from there you
can choose anywhere you wanted to go. So I chose
Dubai because that's the only time I would get to go,
and it was a pretty cool experience. I wouldn't want
to go back unless I had billions of dollars because
you need money there like to do anything. And it's impressive.
(35:40):
It's impressive to see what they've done with that desert.
It really is something to see. I would recommend it.
Speaker 3 (35:46):

Speaker 3 (37:03):
All right, all right man, you guys will Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I heard something about you and Teresa talking again. Oh
was that just one of like.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
One of those fake rumors or fake news or is
that actually starting to happen.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
No, she did text me. She reached out, you know,
and she would like to sit down and meet. So,
you know, I am the guy who I am. I'm
a good brother. You know, I've never wanted to argue
with her ever, it was not my intentions. So you know,
(37:38):
I hear her out, you know, I like to hear
her out see what she has to say, because you know,
but if I sit down with her and I hear out,
it has to be a lot of a lot of
It has to be very humble. It has to come
from a humble place. It has to be real, it
has to be you know, I've made mistakes and and
we can move forward.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
I think you think she's doing it so that she
can get back on the show or to you know,
solidify that position on the show.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
You know, Eddie, I don't know. Man, I'm like said,
we're men, right, we have been men our whole lives,
and a man is you know. I support my wife
and support my children. I've supported my parents, I've support
my siblings, right, I support everybody. I can't. I'm not
(38:29):
the guy that I'm not the guy that's going to
turn his back on anyone no matter what they did
to me, you know, because I mean, you know, we
have to be examples for people, because look at this society, Like,
look at this war that's going on in life. What
are we going to If no one made up, there'd
be no cease fire. Ever you have to make up,
(38:50):
you have to move on. Everybody would be dead. Yeah,
this nonsense of arguing and fighting for what for for,
you know, there's no reasons.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Listens, ratings.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
There's two different types of people. I'm very I'm really
I'm chill, I'm relaxed. You could hurt me as long
as you apologize to me, I accept it. I'm kind
of a pushover. I'll be honest. I gotta go hard,
you know, and I just don't. I'd rather not argue
or hold a grudge the rest of my life for what,
you know, So we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
You know, you got great character with that, Joe, good
character with that, so w to be an example on that.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Wish you the best?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Yeah, what am I going to do? You know? So
hopefully you know, I'm I'm here to help if I
can help her. We have to help. We have to
help and do what we do as who we are
as good people, right right, Yeah, always, it's what we do.
So it's hard to turn you back.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
And yeah, my favorite sayings is your character will be
revealed under pressure.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
And it's a good example of just showing the humility there,
Joe and just even taking that text and actually going
to do something about it.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
So that's great to hear.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Yeah, it took me a minute. It took me a minute.
I'll be honest here, and I was. I'm not the
type that like I never want to speak ever again,
because I always said, well, you know, okay, I mean
trust me, she's done some horrific things to me, and
I've you know, and I but it's okay, it's okay.
(40:29):
We forgive we as long time. It's how they do.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
It, you know, right, how did Melissa take it?
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Listen, you guy, you know she she's taken her. Melissa
has a heart of gold. When I met her. She
comes from a family that is the love is insane.
You know. They love each other, respect each other, they
bring each other up. So she she has forgiven my
sister so many times and in a good way. Oh
(41:00):
and that's why I respect about her. So you know
she's she listens to me, she loves me, she loves
our family. It's all about you know. She's not here
to teach our children to hate, right are you? You
know our kids to this day, you know, we never
say anything bad ever. You know that your aunt, you know,
(41:21):
go say hi, go see her, go do whatever. You
see her always nice things because we don't want to
raise our children like that. What kind of will we
be to put them in our argument? Right, it's our argument,
you know.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
So it's like teaching your kids to be prejudiced. You know,
that's just a terrible thing to do.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
I can't do that, you know. It's you know, listen,
Unfortunately it has happened to me. But it's okay. I'm bigger, Yeah,
I'm stronger, I'm smarter. You know, I got a good heart.
I got to worry about me being happy in life, right,
exactly in life, you know, you piece whatever. I've always
I was a kid when I grew up, I had
(42:03):
friends everywhere, no matter what. Everybody was my friend.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
And if if if the kids the bullies picked on
the other kids, I protected those kids. Yeah yeah, always
always took care of bullies. You know. I was always
with the other kids. I protected them.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
You know. So that's how you got to be in life.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
I love it, Joe as usual, entertaining man, so engaged.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
We have our one of our favorite house husband guests
back on our show. Everybody knows him as Joe Gorga
from The New Jersey Housewives, and we have him on
because he did something that probably none of us would
ever do, and that's swap his wife, like literally gave
his wife to some other guy for his wife. Holy hell, man,

don't know how he could do that. So anyways, wife

just saying that because.
Speaker 1 (00:59):

Speaker 3 (01:04):
I want to be top favorite. I want to be
your favorite.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
You you're you're You're definitely at the top. We've had
some amazing guests on the show, but you are definitely
the top favorite because you're You're everywhere, Joe. You do
everything and anything.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I love it, a little bit of everything. You gotta
entertain yourself. You got to constantly reinvent yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well, first off, let me let me ask you this,
because I there's one thing you and Melissa have in
common with my wife and I, and that's we're inseparable.
I can't imagine one night without her, let alone having
another woman in my house living with me, not necessarily
sleeping with me, but you know, in the same household
playing you know, housewife. How the hell did they talk
(01:45):
you into this?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I tell you, I tell you really for me when
when they first told me, I was like, well, my
wife first told me. She was the one that really
gave the problem. I wasn't the one when they told me,
I was like, yeah, I read do I think? I
was like yeah, you know, likeck, listen, you're looking at
the same menu. Think about you. Wherever you live, there's
only one restaurant, right, and it's you go to that
(02:10):
one restaurant. There's all the restaurant. Everything's closed. Yeah, for
twenty one years, I've been eating at the same restaurants.
Money when you go up on the menu and there's
one thing on the menu that's it. You know, so
sometimes you gotta change it up. You need Today, I
get some dirty dogs in fresh fries and gravy and cheese,
(02:32):
a hamburger, cheeseburger. You gotta switch it up. No, no,
but listen, true story when when when Melissa first told
me about the show, I was all for it. I'm okay,
let's try it. I'm into that. It was I was
no big deal. And I mean that one hundred percent.
Where Melissa was the one that she was. She was unsure.
(02:52):
You know, Melissa is very jealous, more very jealous. She's
more jealous, and I'm a little jealous, but she's super jealous.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And she's the one that came to you.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Oh yeah, because she obviously got the offer. They called her,
they got.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
The Okay, how did she present it to you?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
She said? Listen, you know they would you believe. She goes,
they want to do this wife swap like you know
you that means I gotta go sleep with the guy
at his house and you gotta the girl. I go,
let's do it. It took. It took. Let me tell
you something. She was she wasn't happy. She was very confused.
(03:32):
I mean, she was going through it. She's like, I
don't know. She had to get security. I mean she
I had a convince her. Basically, she for the first
three weeks a month, she was saying no, Yeah, I
was the one convincer. I'm like, are you nuts we're
doing this? I mean, let's do it. What could happen?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I mean, come on, we'll take us through the nitty
greedy of what they told you, Like, what's going to happen?
I got to put it out there. Obviously you're not
going to sleep with this woman, right, so that's off
the table. But what were the things that were presented
to you that were like, yeah, I could do that, Yeah,
I could do that. I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, I'm assuming that it was. I'm assuming it's like
a blind date. You don't see a picture, you don't
see anything, you don't know anything about the person. You're right,
and I assume you're not sleeping in the same bed
or do they make you at least sleep in the
same bed.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
No, she tried to. She knocked out my door. She
knocked on my door, and I's like, you know this,
this woman which I loved her. I'm gonna be honest.
I loved her. She's unseparable with her husband. They do
everything together, I mean everything, and like you, you guys,
we go to work, we separate. This woman did not
(04:42):
separate from her husband. They don't. They do everything together.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
She knocked on my door when I She's like, I
can't sleep alone. Can I say no? No, I'm only no,
no when you, when you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I don't believe that, Joe, because I know that she
doesn't like you know, Italian sausage, because she's a vegan,
so there's no way she.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Could have knock.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
How did you know that? I saw the clip.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That was the funniest freaking clip. I've been vegan for
two days. I can't wait to give you the steak
or the sausage.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
The sausage. So but Edwin, they don't tell you anything nothing.
It was very hush hush. No pictures, nothing about them, nothing.
It was very Yeah. I couldn't even call Melissa when
when it really went down, everything went down. Phones were
shut down, so.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You couldn't talk to your wife. The hotel talked to.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
My wife when she was gone. Soon as she left.
No talking to the wife. They honored everything, so I
couldn't tell her what was going on. She couldn't tell
me what was going on.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Cameras everywhere they put it was yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So they took it to back in the day where
they would just have everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Listen to everything, even in your bedroom when you were
a sleeping they wanted to hear everything.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Really wow everything.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it was like, yeah, it was good.
It was good. It was it was, it was, it was.
It was definitely a great experience. I could tell you that. Okay, yeah,
it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It really knows what what changed you? I'm assuming you're
saying great experience because something inside you changed or you
learned something really valuable about it?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
What what?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What? What was so valuable about it?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I mean, I I can't tell you much, but I've
learned that I did learn a lot. Like you know,
we're all stuck in our ways. Yeah, you know, you
guys were your wives. What happens is you kind of
become each other, right, Yeah, you know my wife drinks
Pollo grino, I drink Polyogrena. We both we just that's
(06:55):
all we do. You kind of become you know, the
same person. So now when you get somebody knew and
they got their different ways and the way they do things,
it's kind of it's it's kind of you know, it's nice,
it's fun. And then you with with our significant others,
it becomes more like, yeah, they love us, they adore us,
(07:15):
but we're with them every day, so they're on top
of us at all times. Right, if we do something,
they're yelling at us. They're always bitching. Tell the truth.
Somebody knew in the house was kind of it was nice.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You didn't get five minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
That was all nice. I wasn't get yelled at. You know,
we're not even doing anything wrong. We get yelled at.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I know, we walked.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
In the room from work. We didn't even do anything.
We're yelling. They're young. Take there, what do you do?
Go get the boxes from Amazon? Bring them inside. You know,
it's just like, how do you dare come in the house?
Did you see the box? I'm like, no, I didn't
see the box.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
You know, yeah, yeah, but it was so you were
you were you concerned?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Was there any concern that they might just send you
like a ten supermodeled type wife that Melissa is just
going to be wait a minute, this girl, this girl
cannot be in my house.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I tell you I wasn't concerned, I you know, and
I was hoping, you know, she was great.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
That did cress my mind, and I was going to
ask that, well, it's just like when you get a nanny, like,
do you get a nanny that's a ten?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Do you know?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Do you know that's not really going to happen?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Right? I had some nanny's there were tens, and I
was shocked that my life did. I'm like, holy, I'm like,
what's going on with you? You know? I didn't have
some tents, which was great. So and but all my
friends are like, listen, you're letting your wife go to
another man's house. And they they were losing it. You know, dude,
what's going on with you? Guys? Guys? When you're got thish,
(08:59):
she can go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
She's not gonna get the same thing anywhere.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
You know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
My father said, I didn't make them like this. I
made them like this. You know, I'm vertically challenged.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know that's funny, But no.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
It was it was it was, uh, it was good.
Obviously I trust my wife. There was no concerns. I mean,
you know you don't hear from her for four days,
you know, you know anything could happen. You know, yeah
we've heard you know, she could have fell in love
with this man, right and you're like, what the hell
did you never know? I can this woman.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Not not in four days, No way, it takes longer
than that.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I don't know about that happened.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Right Well, if you got a ten or eleven or fifteen,
maybe I could. I could see the potential in that.
But when you're still connected like you and Melissa are,
I just can't see anything like that penetrating that love,
that that that loyalty and that that you know, that
just connection with each other. And as you're talking, I'm like,
(10:03):
if I was to be in the same situation as you,
I trust my wife one hundred percent and the only
you know, the only insecurity would be if this guy
that looks like Rico Swab or something flies in a
G five lands in my front yard and takes her away,
then yeah, maybe I might lose her to that. But
generally speaking, I'm very confident that our connection is so
(10:26):
strong that there's no way that she would not come back.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Right Well, I I we thought, we thought that they
were sending us or sending Melissa to some billionaire's house.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, that's oh wow.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, because well that takes a lot of confidence on
your end. Yes, I mean, you did pretty well for yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But imagine these send her out to like some bachelor
type guy from like the early seasons where they used
to be just loaded, good looking.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Had everything going for him. Right. That's that's a big
risk there, and you still went with.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It because that's what we were hearing. There was some
billionaire that they were filming with. Some billionaire, that's what
we heard, and some billionaire husband and wife. And we
thought because where we were, we weren't when it gave
her the clothes that she was going to wear, because
they do say, you can you're not gonna be in
(11:22):
like the wilderness. You're not gonna be because some of
them went to some like the wilderness and you're not
gonna be here. So we kind of thought we were
heading to like lay she was headed to LA and
she was gonna be with some billionaire. So you know,
did I have a little concern And I'm like I
said to her, I said, maybe I was always playing
(11:43):
it because I'm always joking.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
What was that? What was that movie from the eighties
with w or.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Decent decent proposal?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That just reminded me of that with Robert Redford.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Right now, let me ask you guys something like, be honest, now,
all right, if if that ever happened to you? Right now,
how long you guys have been married? How long you've
been married?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I've been married twelve years?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Twelve years, and.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You ed, I'm on thirteen years but working on a separation.
So but thirteen years.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Say we all it all ends once in a while,
so it doesn't last for cancer.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Yeah, yes, yes, we just got some great news on that.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I've been out of the loop. Man.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That's good, God, pleas, thank you definitely, America.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
It's been a crazy year for us.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I'm sorry you're going through that, man, you know you're okay? Yeah,
everything okay.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Yeah, no, day by day. So first came to separation.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Then we found out about the cancer about five months.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Four months after that, five months after that.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
So first with the separate you know, I see, I've
been at a loop and I apologize about that, but wow,
so first she first she separated, and then yeah, the
cancer came.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
So the cancer came, and then and now we put
a stop to it until you know, we figured that
that part out, you know, for her health comes first.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Are you together in the house.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yes, I'll live here.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Like ninety percent of the time and just make sure
that she's you know, she's taking care of and the
kids are taken care of. And then I go back
at the end of the night to my other house.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Okay, so we're going through it. But yeah, we just
got some great news this week. So last week I
should say.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Wow, that sucks. I apologize.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Yeah, no, no, no worries. But ask us the question
you were going to ask us.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, well you were going to ask us some question
about being married for a long time.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
So we got thirteen years, I think Eddie, you were
you're working on what twelve?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, I you know, we we we always played his
game and we were playing it with my brother laws,
my two brother laws and my sister in laws and
the show was being it was on the TV. We
were all hanging out and the show was on. You know,
a lady, what was that in decent proposal? Yeah, we'll
start talking and we'll saying listen. So they asked me,
(13:58):
you know, that. Well, we asked my brother. I go,
I'm brother to my I go, would you if somebody
came to you, like a billionaire came and said they
want to take Lisa away? Would you would you do it?
And he goes, well, how much?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I go, everybody's got a price.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I go, I'm gonna pay you two million dollars. He goes,
a tax free two million catches. He goes absolutely, and
he loves her adores and they lovely, have the best relationship.
And now she's thinking, I go, would you She goes, well, Scott,
would you let me? She goes absolutely. She's like, okay,
two million dollars. She's like, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
So they were one night, just one night.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
They were talking about this all night. They talked about
it the next day. The following day, they're like, well,
if we got the two million dollars, we would do
this with the money, we would do say they were
all for it, you know. So yeah, I asked myself,
and I have to been married twenty one years and
I love, I adore my wife. What did I do it?
I don't know the first five years, ten years, absolutely not. Yeah,
(15:01):
twenty one years, you got but you do it. They
got to pay me a lot of money. I do
a lot of money. How much is a lot of money?
Would you guys do it? How much? How much would
you guys do it for?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I you know, while you're asking that question, I was thinking.
I think now that I'm in my fifties, I think
a lot. I think I'm a lot smarter. But I
would say that when I was younger, knowing myself, I
wouldn't do it. But the smart thing would have been
to do it then, because then you'll have a lot
of money to get ahead of life. Right, So two million,
(15:33):
three million, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Now that's not enough. That's not enough when.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I was young. Right today, it would be like a
billion dollars. You know I need a billion dollars. Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
You love her? Boy?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh, I love her.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He's in love with her, Tam, we got you.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Hooked, totally hooked.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All these days these days, it's crazy. Life is so expensive.
Things are changing, right, So you know you got maybe
ten million?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah that's your number.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Oh you want to know my number? Two thousand?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
No gas money, give me some gas, man, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
No, I'd have to be some good numbers, you know.
I don't know. I mean, you know, but that's what
what I do. It absolutely not. You know, I love
my wife, we have children and all that together. But
that's when we were doing a wife song. We thought
she would go to that billionaire. So think about that
as a man.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah right, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I was going to get his wife. I'm not a billionaire.
We thought there was going to be private planes, jets.
She's jumping on helicopters going there and I'm sitting here.
So yeah, it was it was, uh, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
The flip side of that is billionaires typically have hot wives,
I would think, right.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Agreed, yes, yes, and their wives are usually with them
for their money, not because they so right, And.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Then that's true, and billionaires are always looking for the
next thing, you know that.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Fight, it's the fight and can I get it? And
can I get that? I got all this money? So
guys like us, we're more We're more good, We're faithful,
We're loyal.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, we're we're about love. Yeah. I was gonna go
back a little bit, going back to the security thing.
You had security at home or she had security with her?
(17:37):
Did you both have security and what kind of security
did you have.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
So the first day we're filming and we're just about wrapped,
you know, cameras are like, all right, it's a wrap
eleven o'clock at night, and some big dude walks in.
He's about seven foot two. I'm look, he goes, I'm
(18:02):
security security. He goes, yeah, security. I go for a
what He goes, I was hired for security. I go, oh,
that's my wife set the security up. So I said, dude,
you can go home. Go buddy, you can go home.
He goes, no, no, no, he goes, I got it.
He goes, I'm contracted. So so he goes and sleeps
in the basement. The guy was so big. So my
(18:25):
wife had security, you know, at their house, we had security.
Everybody had security because you know, it's fair nation, so
if one person asked for it, everybody else has to
have security. So we had security for no reason. For no,
she was more like, listen, I'm going to sleep at
some stranger's house. She didn't know what could happen to her,
(18:46):
and I think, I think she's just super jealous.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
She had to protect the watch.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, I'm Joe Gorgon, Where in the hell of what
I can't do anything?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
You know, you watched Everywhere I Go Joe. You are
known for handing everybody in the party shots after shots
after shots of alcoholics. So you know how to start
a party.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I could party, but then I, you know, I go
home like a good little boy.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, and when you go home there's trouble there. So
if you let's say you go home after having those
party sessions and you have a tent waiting for you
at home, what do you think Melissa is gonna think?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah? I know, but I you know, so is it
like is it like Big Brothers?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So after eleven o'clock, everybody stops filming.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
But are the cameras still on after yes?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Really twenty four hours listening to everywhere every little crack
of the house.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Has a camera and the work wise, do you just
not work? Because I'm sure there's some things about work
that you just keep.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Private, that you have to keep private.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
And yeah, so do you just I worked?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Okay, So you're like listen and that listen to my
entire life.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Listen to whatever you want to listen to. I wow, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Now I know your daughters off to college and you
have the two boys still at home, right, Yeah, how
did you prevent how did you present it to them?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Listen to boys? You know, you got teenage boys, they're like,
what the hell? You know, they're not into filming, they're
not into this, you know, they just want to go
do their thing, play their sports. So I mean they're
all right. At first they fought it. They're like, I'm
not doing it. It was them, I'm not doing it.
You know, they want to know part of it. Like,
(20:39):
they're the type of kids. If you can take a
picture of them, you you post a video them on
social media, they get mad, take it down, you know,
because their friends. They bust their balls. Yes, because their
parents on a reality show. So when it goes out,
it goes to so many people, so they get they
get their balls. Bus I said, listen, I go, you
gotta have confidence, man, yeah, chill, you got who cares
what they say? You know, but they were they were
(21:03):
totally not into it. But uh and I said, oh yeah,
I go, you better doing it. You're doing it. And
you're because I said you you like that car bought you,
you like all that, You're doing it.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You got leverage.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Know who they're so, knowing who their dad is, obviously
you're a great entrepreneur. Are they like, how's their negotiation skills?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Are they like?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
All right, I'll do this, Dad, but I need a
little money. If you're if I'm going to be doing this.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, I don't give them anything. I don't give them
any money. They gotta work just like I work.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
They gotta work, That's what I'm saying. But they're filming
that they do. They do.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
They come to you and say, all right, Dad, I'm
gonna film, but you got to give you some of
this money.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, they tried, but they get They get everything they got.
They got that. You know what is that E pay whatever?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Apple pay?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Apple pay? They got Apple pay do whatever they want.
I mean, they got the life right about when we
were grown up. Did we have Apple Pay? No, we
don't have anything. I think that's the worst thing you
could possibly do. You know, I do it because all
their friends have it. Yeah. I just started putting a
limit on it now, Oh good limit? Oh yeah, a limit.
I mean, they don't get out of control. My boys
(22:09):
eat a lot. They eat a constantly buying food. But
the craziest thing is when they take themselves out, like
the friends. They'll go to a nice restaurant to like
drive to New York City, I go, who.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Know what you think you are?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
That's a problem. Now, it's not a problem though, if
I know you put them to work, I know they
got your worth ethic, So it's not hard to justify.
If they are really good boys and they're just busting
their ass like you did, and you see the potential
in them and you're like, you know what, I'm going
to reward you. But if they're just taking advantage of
(22:47):
it and not really doing anything and not really you know,
going anywhere in life, that's a problem, right right.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah. I buy my kids, I give them. I almost
give them everything because they're good kids. Yeah ful No
matter where I go, Teachers, coaches come up to me
and they said, you have the most respectful you know kids.
They always I've not one, multiple people constantly, so it
(23:14):
makes me feel good. They work hard. Their their job
is their sports. They all played they all played three
different sports all my kids. That was their job. I
didn't want them to really work. I said, your job
is to play sports, because that is a job. You
have to listen to a coach, you have that responsibility.
(23:34):
You have to be to her at a certain time,
and it's all about respect and it teaches you to lesson.
So I wanted them to enjoy school, high school to
a certain level. And then once high school's done, they're
going to college. You're going to college. If you're not
going to college, coming to work.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
So, by the way, not to change the subject, but
I just learned about this thing called sex stortion that
I guess is happening a lot to teenage boys. Where
I mean, think about this is the different in the
difference in times where we're at today versus when we
grew up.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So, now there's girls sending you a pick of their
boobs whatever they want to send you, And of course
imagine being a fifteen sixteen year old getting that and
then the girl says, hey, well send me a pick back.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
But you're thinking it's.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
A girl, but in reality it's some guy that's not
going to extort you for money. But then says, hey,
now that you send me this pick, I'm gonna if
you don't send me x amount of money, I'm going
to send this out.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
To everyone you know.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And they pretty much know who your friends are already.
And most of the times they're targeting athletes and they're
targeting people that are affluent because they have access to money.
But I just thought like, how crazy that would be, right,
I mean, how crazy that is? Right when we grew up,
I mean, somebody sent me something, it's very easy to
say hey i' and you something back as being you know, male.
(25:01):
But yeah, not to change the subject, but it's just
reminded me of that teenage boys athletes and you know.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I think that's also called catfistian because when the social
media first came to market, I had a lot of
those sent you know, boop shots, naked shots, and and
they were asking for pictures of me. I'm like, I'm
not stupid me.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, I go, but imagine young thirteen, twelve year old boys.
I had to have a talk with my son about it.
I was like, hey, good, if if anyone ever tries
to ask you for a picture and it seems like
it's a girl, do not send anything.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
This is what's probably happening, right.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, My boys are My boys are hit to that.
They're very Uh, they're they're they're on top of the game.
They they already know, they're like, oh look at this state.
They're they're very How do I say man, they're just
very chill. They're very cool. They're so like respectful, but
they're boys, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, they're nice.
They're nice. Like I was a little bit more tougher,
(26:01):
meaning they're very tough. But I was more like, oh,
you know, but they're very like chill. And you know,
I don't know. I did. I did a great job
with them. I really did. I I'm so you know,
I'm proud of him. And I always say to him,
I said, uh, I always say I'm proud of you guys.
I'm proud of you know, because you guys, you make
me happy, you know, keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So, getting back to the show, how long were you
guys separated? How long did you shoot the show for?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh? Four days?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's it for four days?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Four days.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, oh that's not long enough, not long, not long, Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:37):

you think about it, four days. I mean, for me,
it kind of like flew by. I was. I was
all right because I was filming. I was home. Yeah,
I'm home in my own house with my kids. She
had to leave, Yeah, to leave, going to someone else's home,
sleep with someone else's bed, you know. So it was
harder for her where I was, it was easy for me.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
So aside from being vegan, what was the first rule
that she tried implementing that you didn't agree with?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Her major rule was that she spent a lot of
time with me. And that's a lot of time. Okay, yeah, yeah,
I don't you know. In my house, I leave at
four point thirty five in the morning. I would work. Yeah,
I would get home till you know, seven eight o'clock,
sometimes a little later, sometimes a little earlier. But I'm
gone all day and I'm working. You know, I'm out.

disorganization from the lady that stayed with it. What was

to an actual farm.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah? I let him close. I let him close. You're right,
maybe I should do that. Maybe you should have him opened.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
I think that might be a dream of him, a
dream of his to be able to close.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
You'll be shocked. He's good. He's good. You remember, because
he was an attorney, used to speaking very well in
front of an audience, the jury that is that and

and teach him a lot of you know what, I'm good.
He just bust my balls the whole time. He really doesn't.
(33:08):
He roast me the whole time.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
That's hilarious. If BRABO allowed you to wife swap with
somebody you knew on the franchise, like any any other franchise,
what housewife a couple would you swap?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Wow?

been to Dubai.
Speaker 4 (34:57):

Speaker 1 (34:58):
I went u to go to I think two thousand
and eight when the economy was shit and all their
buildings were half built and the economy kind of just stopped,
and I went on a it was an EO event
and it was it was like the opportunity. It was
American Airlines, no British Airlines was flying a bunch of
(35:19):
entrepreneurs from all over the world to London. To do
a presentation by the CEO, and then from there you
can choose anywhere you wanted to go. So I chose
Dubai because that's the only time I would get to go,
and it was a pretty cool experience. I wouldn't want
to go back unless I had billions of dollars because
you need money there like to do anything. And it's impressive.
(35:40):
It's impressive to see what they've done with that desert.
It really is something to see. I would recommend it.
Speaker 3 (35:46):

Put you in the front road to show.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Okay, front row, you got me. Now you're speaking my
language front row.
Speaker 1 (36:33):

Speaker 3 (36:38):
You guys gotta call it's fun. It's fun.

Forty five minutes plane, super easy. There's a flight every
hour out of John Wayne, so unbelievable. It's nice.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
All right, all right man, you guys will Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I heard something about you and Teresa talking again. Oh
was that just one of like.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
One of those fake rumors or fake news or is
that actually starting to happen.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
No, she did text me. She reached out, you know,
and she would like to sit down and meet. So,
you know, I am the guy who I am. I'm
a good brother. You know, I've never wanted to argue
with her ever, it was not my intentions. So you know,
(37:38):
I hear her out, you know, I like to hear
her out see what she has to say, because you know,
but if I sit down with her and I hear out,
it has to be a lot of a lot of
It has to be very humble. It has to come
from a humble place. It has to be real, it
has to be you know, I've made mistakes and and
we can move forward.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
I think you think she's doing it so that she
can get back on the show or to you know,
solidify that position on the show.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
You know, Eddie, I don't know. Man, I'm like said,
we're men, right, we have been men our whole lives,
and a man is you know. I support my wife
and support my children. I've supported my parents, I've support
my siblings, right, I support everybody. I can't. I'm not
(38:29):
the guy that I'm not the guy that's going to
turn his back on anyone no matter what they did
to me, you know, because I mean, you know, we
have to be examples for people, because look at this society, Like,
look at this war that's going on in life. What
are we going to If no one made up, there'd
be no cease fire. Ever you have to make up,
(38:50):
you have to move on. Everybody would be dead. Yeah,
this nonsense of arguing and fighting for what for for,
you know, there's no reasons.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Listens, ratings.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
There's two different types of people. I'm very I'm really
I'm chill, I'm relaxed. You could hurt me as long
as you apologize to me, I accept it. I'm kind
of a pushover. I'll be honest. I gotta go hard,
you know, and I just don't. I'd rather not argue
or hold a grudge the rest of my life for what,
you know, So we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
You know, you got great character with that, Joe, good
character with that, so w to be an example on that.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Wish you the best?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Yeah, what am I going to do? You know? So
hopefully you know, I'm I'm here to help if I
can help her. We have to help. We have to
help and do what we do as who we are
as good people, right right, Yeah, always, it's what we do.
So it's hard to turn you back.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
And yeah, my favorite sayings is your character will be
revealed under pressure.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
And it's a good example of just showing the humility there,
Joe and just even taking that text and actually going
to do something about it.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
So that's great to hear.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Yeah, it took me a minute. It took me a minute.
I'll be honest here, and I was. I'm not the
type that like I never want to speak ever again,
because I always said, well, you know, okay, I mean
trust me, she's done some horrific things to me, and
I've you know, and I but it's okay, it's okay.
(40:29):
We forgive we as long time. It's how they do.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
It, you know, right, how did Melissa take it?
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Listen, you guy, you know she she's taken her. Melissa
has a heart of gold. When I met her. She
comes from a family that is the love is insane.
You know. They love each other, respect each other, they
bring each other up. So she she has forgiven my
sister so many times and in a good way. Oh
(41:00):
and that's why I respect about her. So you know
she's she listens to me, she loves me, she loves
our family. It's all about you know. She's not here
to teach our children to hate, right are you? You
know our kids to this day, you know, we never
say anything bad ever. You know that your aunt, you know,
(41:21):
go say hi, go see her, go do whatever. You
see her always nice things because we don't want to
raise our children like that. What kind of will we
be to put them in our argument? Right, it's our argument,
you know.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
So it's like teaching your kids to be prejudiced. You know,
that's just a terrible thing to do.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
I can't do that, you know. It's you know, listen,
Unfortunately it has happened to me. But it's okay. I'm bigger, Yeah,
I'm stronger, I'm smarter. You know, I got a good heart.
I got to worry about me being happy in life, right,
exactly in life, you know, you piece whatever. I've always
I was a kid when I grew up, I had
(42:03):
friends everywhere, no matter what. Everybody was my friend.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
And if if if the kids the bullies picked on
the other kids, I protected those kids. Yeah yeah, always
always took care of bullies. You know. I was always
with the other kids. I protected them.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
You know. So that's how you got to be in life.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
