In this episode, we dive into childhood chaos, cooking traditions, and parenting curveballs with Joe Carpineto—a longtime friend of Ricky G and a true Revere original. If you grew up throwing full-contact hits in the street, this one’s for you.
From thorn bush tackles and dodge-the-bully plays to giant pig roasts and navigating his son’s diabetes and celiac diagnoses, Joe’s stories are raw, hilarious, and totally relatable. Oh—and we finally settle the Brady vs. Belichick debate. Maybe.
Highlights include:
• Brutal backyard tackle football stories (with thorn bushes) • Wild catering gigs and Italian family feasts • Parenting through diabetes, celiac disease, and teenage chaos • Sub and pizza shop debates across Boston • Hot takes on Brady, Belichick, and Star Wars • Music and movie breakdowns from Guy Ritchie to The Beatles
Get ready to laugh, argue, and maybe crave a steak and cheese.
