Speaker 1: On location and driven by or Dods G. Brown. It's Billified,
the Bill Moran Podcast. Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for
getting your pot on, Thanks for telling a friend. That's
how we spread the word about the pirate ship. You
can see where we're not in the studio, but we're
in a really great location. You need a podcast, my friend,
you need a podcast table.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, I think the legend is here.
Speaker 1: At the legend the legends. We are at Omaro's, which
is a I'm going to say a fine men's clothing
is that? Would that be accurate professional retail? Because you
guys outfit some pretty famous people beautiful suits. Look at
I mean, even your father's here, the man I have
to ask you, we'll start here real quick. The fact
that he followed in your footsteps and continued on, it's
got to thrill you with joy. It thrills get right
in that mic.
Speaker 3: It thrills me because my father would have been thrilled
who started it and his father before him.
Speaker 1: Right, So it's like four generations or longer.
Speaker 4: Longer, but in Italy.
Speaker 3: In Italy, they pass on from generation to generation the
trades of their forefathers. Except my father and my five
older brothers.
Speaker 5: He always stressed to.
Speaker 3: Them that the needle was very heavy and didn't want
any of us to go into the business. Why because
it was not as lucrative as some of the other
sure endeavors that they could have.
Speaker 1: Put it, isn't that funny? The needle is very heavy.
Speaker 4: Needs very heavy.
Speaker 1: That was very sure.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he was he could I could tell you
a story after the story. But so all my five
older brothers were more professional. Well they were professional, and
I was the only one that stayed in the business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he would.
Speaker 4: He was proud of that fact up until the day
he died.
Speaker 5: And now that Mett was came along end.
Speaker 1: But I mean you really, I mean this is beautiful.
What you did is like I feel like you took
it to the next level. Would that be fair?
Speaker 4: That's it certainly was a different level than he was at.
Speaker 3: He was a creative artisan who actually did the work
with the needle and thread right and the fabrics. And
I became I became a spokesman of that trade and
applied that knowledge to how people look.
Speaker 1: And so how did how did you make it grow?
Like did you go out and hustle go to different
Yeah's executive.
Speaker 2: Twenty years before we had to start.
Speaker 5: It was all about the hustle.
Speaker 1: It was all about the hustle.
Speaker 5: It was my appointment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what do you do like? I love a
suit like that? Where the stitches? What is it called?
Because I don't know the property.
Speaker 5: The handstitching hand stitching slight?
Speaker 2: Slight contrast, conservative, bold prefer to call it.
Speaker 1: When you are I mean you sharp? Every day? You
look sharp like? I love that. If I could sell it, well,
let me tell you something I come from. I come
from a family where my dad was a teacher, but
he wore a suit every day to work. My grandfather
would put a suit on to go get the mail.
You know. I mean that's just what That's just what
you did, right. It's kind of old school. And if
I had the funds, I would be dressed like that
every day. I would wear a thousand dollars suit eleven
hundred dollars.
Speaker 7: I me tell you how much you would get attention
wise if.
Speaker 1: You Yeah, I'm sure I.
Speaker 7: Don't want to talk inappropriate, but can I can say
a swear word?
Speaker 1: Absolutely?
Speaker 7: Those sluts with everywhere you go.
Speaker 8: You could ask everywhere you go if you dressed in
a suit like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's unbelievable and it is a thing
like there's something about I'll tell you what. I think
that when the saying used to be the clothes make
the man. And the reason I think that that's so
true is you look at kids, right, and you make
them dress a certain way, they behave better, you know,
they just do. Like my kid had to go to McQuaid.
I mean, the jacket was crusty because he kept throwing
it into his locker, but it was a little bit
higher level of you gotta look.
Speaker 3: Good, and more importantly than that than looking good is crucial,
but it's the.
Speaker 4: Way you feel.
Speaker 1: Yes, Jack, Yes.
Speaker 3: You come across your audience, it's right dressed passionately, Yeah,
continued the pops. Yeah, exactly, passionately because you feel a
whole different. Yeah, when you're looking for a tailored suit
and a beautiful thigh yeah, well breast shirt even on
nice Fedora. And your shoes have got to be polished.
Speaker 5: Please.
Speaker 3: I look around and I see these guys dressed in shoes, dressed,
and then their shoes are not polished.
Speaker 4: It's like somebody waked this guy up.
Speaker 5: But he you could do a sociological experiment. Go to
a place bar, a nice little lounge you never been
there before. Do it in a T shirt next Friday
or tailored blaze right, even some dressed jeans and a loafer.
Ye see the response again, not in a pompous way,
but respect in the evening.
Speaker 9: Right, Bill, you could just do that at least, oh
I could.
Speaker 1: I've done that a few times.
Speaker 5: We may have something up our sleeve. Podcast.
Speaker 1: So the Two Fit Chicks are here as well, and
they do a podcast called The Two Fit Chicks. They
even have their own theme song for the tow.
Speaker 9: Bell thanks to you.
Speaker 1: But they do it and it drops weekly and they
have about ten episodes out right now on our platform
and you can go listen. And I I am really
impressed because I did not know.
Speaker 9: You didn't any good.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't know what. I didn't know what to expect.
But I'm like, I love when it's you know, they
talk about diet and fitness and working out and uh,
funny things in between. And you know, Joanna mentioned her
kids and you mentioned your son. Uh you had somebody
in recently we talked about Italy and I was telling
these guys about you know what you actually walk away
learning a lot of good things.
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, you do learn.
Speaker 7: A lot, you do, and we do too, you know,
because we bring in we bring in our guests that
teach us.
Speaker 1: Right, exactly where did how did the how did this
friendship begin? And then where did the two fit chicks
come from? Because that's the part that I didn't. I don't.
I don't really know that.
Speaker 6: We are.
Speaker 9: It kind of makes sense. I mean, well we'll stay
We'll start with how we actually met.
Speaker 7: The first time we actually met was through our kids.
Speaker 6: They were young, they were younger.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I actually, so you were friends with some
you was a mutual friend of ours. That kind of
I felt like Liz brought you something and that's how
I met her.
Speaker 6: And then we say, have.
Speaker 9: The hotel parties with their kids, you know, for like
the years kids when you know, and the parents parents
hang out.
Speaker 8: And have fun kids. I thought, that's the way to
do it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's how you have to do it when your
kids are little and so. But then we also both
were big in the fitness and so eventually, I mean
we didn't start working out together until like ten years later.
Speaker 9: Probably you decided to do it.
Speaker 7: I decided to do a fitness competition and.
Speaker 9: I already had been doing several so then we Yeah,
so I was like back together.
Speaker 7: I had this one coach reach out to me, you know,
and I'm like, I don't know, should I let me
call her Bacca the expert?
Speaker 6: I did come where I am?
Speaker 1: She for me.
Speaker 7: She's like, you're not going to somebody else, You're coming
over to where I am.
Speaker 9: And that was it, and then we trained together and
we did a show together. She was fifty right.
Speaker 6: Actually by that point I flipped.
Speaker 7: I was fifty one. It was in my okay, I
trained my fiftieth the year.
Speaker 9: For yeah, so I was still in my forties.
Speaker 7: She's the baby and the two of us, I'm the
I'm the adult here a baby, she's the baby. But yeah,
So that's how we started working out together and.
Speaker 9: We competed together.
Speaker 7: And then she did the you did the reality TV
she came with yeah, and then it was because of
that that we started did You Invite?
Speaker 9: And I brought her.
Speaker 6: She brought me to all of it. She's like, I'm
not going without you.
Speaker 7: I'm not going without these.
Speaker 9: We were like everywhere we would I like, Joe coming
with me is going to come in. You're there too.
Speaker 1: Out of that, you decided to do, hey, we should
do a podcast.
Speaker 7: So people started saying that to us likes or no.
I came up with that name out of thin air.
Speaker 6: I don't even know where.
Speaker 7: It was, like, well, everyone kept saying, you guys should
get your own. People that were paying attention and they're like,
you guys are so good together.
Speaker 8: I like the I like your you.
Speaker 9: Know, we were coming together all the time.
Speaker 7: So we go, well, we were talking and Rebacca's like,
what would we call it?
Speaker 6: I'm like, I just came out of my mouth.
Speaker 8: I don't know where it goes to.
Speaker 6: All the two checks like it was perfect.
Speaker 7: And we had designed it. Initially was going to be
a fitness all about fitness, that's what we're so obsessed with, right,
and then we're like, well, we'll do fitness, we'll talk
about the we'll talk about the stuff at the gym
and like funny things that happened at the gym, locker
room talk.
Speaker 9: How kind of started with that and then it just.
Speaker 7: And then it exploded into the you know, beauty fashion and.
Speaker 9: We had guys come on to you know, just girls.
It was everything.
Speaker 1: Tell me like when you you've been working out most
of your life. Yes, then you go to do a show.
How much different was your diet going.
Speaker 7: Every day to your learned that I don't know how
I actually walked this planet for all those years because
I did not eat enough food.
Speaker 9: I could not be vegan.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm I was a vegetarian up until I started
training for that show. Because I needed another protein source,
so I started eating fish. But up until then I
had you know, since I was fifteen, I stopped eating
beef and poultry, and then through the years, I started
with a little bit fish here and there, and then
I didn't like it, you know, But but my coach
was like, you either you better eat some chicken or
you better eat some fish. I go, alright, I'll do
with a fish eating chicken. So that's how I learned
that I didn't eating off and a lot of women
don't eat enough. We tend to want to starve.
Speaker 1: Ourselves, like protein, not getting enough protein, getting.
Speaker 8: Off protein or carbs or fat.
Speaker 7: I wasn't getting I was probably eating under a thousand
calories a day and didn't even know it.
Speaker 1: So how much better did you feel eating all.
Speaker 7: That food in the in the beginning I was like,
I can't do this.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 6: It was awful.
Speaker 7: I was so full all the time, and I felt
like I was I couldn't stuff another morsel in. And
it was that mentality that like, just you're going to eat,
like this is your job. You know, you need to
just get as much of it in as you can,
and you know, keep going and every day it'll get better.
Speaker 8: And it did, and then over time, I remember it
could be so.
Speaker 1: Taken out of context.
Speaker 5: No, no, j Cutler, a Jay Cutler, come on, one
of the best bodybuilders ever. Yeah, well is his job.
It's like calories a day enjoyed. But to become mister
Olympia or one of the two fit chicks.
Speaker 6: Well, you know what ended up happening.
Speaker 7: I remember going, because I'm a hairstylist, we don't eat
a lot.
Speaker 6: We don't have time to eat.
Speaker 7: It's a bite here, a bite there, in between, you're
mixing color, you're eating a little here. While that would
that would take an off. That was like I could
kill my appetite really easy that way. So I feel like, Okay,
I'm full, now, I'm good.
Speaker 6: I don't eat anymore.
Speaker 7: Well, I remember saying to our coach at one point,
like your metabolism starts firing up so much that now
you're every two and a half hours, You're life.
Speaker 5: I need that next to me.
Speaker 8: And I was like, what is this feeling? Feeling of hunger?
Speaker 7: I'm not I never really I would always walk around
like do you.
Speaker 1: Eat like that regularly?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 9: No, I don't, like we don't like we were competing.
I do feel if.
Speaker 8: I need to.
Speaker 1: Just turn it.
Speaker 9: I barely go. I barely go a day not eating
all day long because I will be like, oh my god,
well am I doing something wrong?
Speaker 1: It just looked really it's just very phallic.
Speaker 6: Let me move that.
Speaker 1: Sorry, very familiar with that for that. I know.
Speaker 8: We're sorry. This was the family show. According so now
the way we do it.
Speaker 7: Now is because obviously we're not we're not training for something.
We still try to get, you know, every food in
every couple hours, every time and a half hours. We
try not to go a long stretch.
Speaker 6: But my eating as many.
Speaker 1: What are you what are you eating?
Speaker 10: Like?
Speaker 5: Okay, egg whites, oatmeal once again with the egg whites,
though you said that last week. Yeah, all the nutritions in.
Speaker 8: Here's what I know.
Speaker 6: Today I had one full egg and one egg white.
Speaker 5: Ok.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because you need a little fat.
Speaker 6: So it depends on what my like.
Speaker 7: I was in a hurry, so I'm gonna grab I
boiled two eggs. I took one whole, one and one one.
I took the yoke out and threw away and ran
out the door eating that.
Speaker 6: You know, So.
Speaker 7: I was making if Yeah, if I was making it,
I would have put a different oil in it or something.
I maybe would have put in a scoop of peanut
butter with Like a lot of times, I'll take my
oatmeal mixed with the egg whites, throw some peanut butter
in there and put some blueberries in there, and.
Speaker 1: That's like, what kind of oats are you using?
Speaker 7: Just like regular, like not the old thesh ones, the
quick ones.
Speaker 9: Quick, Okay, we don't have time.
Speaker 1: Yes, no, I know. I used to call it my
prison breakfast. I used to eat three boiled legs and
an apple.
Speaker 9: Actually really good, it is good.
Speaker 1: Well guess what I stopped Always wear apple is such
a slimming effect.
Speaker 9: Apples are nice during apple day because they do fill
you up because they're fiber, you know, so they fill
me up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always eat the most pretentious fruit on the planet,
A pair. I always call it the most. I called
the most partly because there was always like Steve Jobs
walked around with it all this ship. I used to
do a joke about somebody went to a winery, and
you ever go to winery and have a wine tasting,
and then they would always tell you like, do you
taste well, yeah, clench your palate. And then they start
to tell you you like, do you taste the lemon grass?
And all these assholes in this thing will go oh, yeah, yeah,
And I'm like, look, you just love that no idea? Yeah,
And then they're going, do you taste do you taste chocolate? Right?
How about the movie Sideways?
Speaker 5: The tall dudes like when do we.
Speaker 2: Get to drink it?
Speaker 1: Right? That's the thing. But you're tasting all this stuff
and then they say something along the lines like hey,
do you taste the Asian pair? And I got my
friends going, I go, wait a second, your palates so good.
Not only can you discern the fruit, you can tell
me what fucking continent it's from?
Speaker 6: That regular yes?
Speaker 1: He does? Everybody else tell me? Is it go? That's
the thing. So I always think pair is the most
potentious fruit. That's what I got.
Speaker 2: Asian pears, o Marrows. Dress passionately, Yes, dressed passionately with
your Asian pears.
Speaker 1: Wally, anything you want to add, you're very quiet, look
at the shirt while he's God, I love Thatlly tell us.
Speaker 9: I want you to explain the initial thing. How you
have Wally there? Tell us about that.
Speaker 1: Oh so monogram shirts right or is.
Speaker 8: It wear whites? Are there?
Speaker 1: Yea get right in there?
Speaker 5: Mean is a very personal thing. You either do or
you don't.
Speaker 4: I don't see people that are halfway in between on monogramming.
Speaker 5: Generally.
Speaker 3: From my experience, I found that those that are the
most self confident and uh strong personalities don't need a monogram.
I find that I find that those who are a
little bit I don't want to say weak, you know,
it's it's distinctive, it's ego, it's well, that's Rochester for you.
And if you if you're a little and then you know,
then those are the ones that would tend to make
a monogram.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say that I'm one of those
strong and uh but I like a monogram on my
shirt because it identifies.
Speaker 7: The placement is I've never seen left waist.
Speaker 5: Left waist, Okay.
Speaker 3: Generally speaking, the most popular location for a monogram would
be the left cuff.
Speaker 1: Right okay, okay, and usually just initials right usually because
I had a couple that or w PM William Patrick Moran,
so I have a few those.
Speaker 5: But the most traditional the whole name.
Speaker 3: So the location on the left waist is really the
most traditional location for a monogram because a gentleman never
takes his jacket.
Speaker 5: Off in the old school, kind of takes his jacket.
Speaker 3: Off, and when you wear your jacket, the monogram is
always covered, very located and Understatedkay, okay, that's why that's
where the monogram placement on the left waist where this
is comes from.
Speaker 7: You're saying it wouldn't really show the.
Speaker 2: Professional setting fifty years.
Speaker 3: When you wear it on your cuff, you'll see it
when you check your watch. It's usually left cuff that
wear it on, and you see it a lot more.
Speaker 7: So do you think there is this more showy?
Speaker 1: I think it's almost more subtle right now, more subtle there.
Speaker 6: It's more showy.
Speaker 5: On the on the left, and we sell mainly on
the like that.
Speaker 2: But either way, I like to say, is it.
Speaker 9: Because a lot of people are wearing their shirts without
their jacket now these days, would you say.
Speaker 5: Not not so much that they don't want a person,
but I show it and sell it like this, it's
going to be a custom shirt by Omarrows, with or
without a monogram, with a monogram, without a monogram. If
it doesn't have it and they don't know what's a
custom made shirt, or other people around them don't know it,
then you fire us because we fitted it, we served
it wrong, our skill was wrong. So with or without
a monogram, we still got to do our job.
Speaker 1: Right, gotcha.
Speaker 9: Can I tell you what I thought it was? When
I saw you, Wally, I was like, is that like,
where's Waldough? You have to find it? I'm sure, Oh my,
that's what I thought it was.
Speaker 6: Yes, you thought you were.
Speaker 5: That was my favorite.
Speaker 4: But I don't know. I tell you this from the
bottom of my heart. I would trade all the information
and knowledge I have about monograms or anything else that
i'm a professional at for two hours of your input
on diet.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 9: You're doing good though.
Speaker 5: I'm doing great, yeah compared to where I was.
Speaker 3: But I've you know, it's the old saying I've come
a long way, but I got a long way to go.
Speaker 7: And well, you know what we say, it's you know
what is it? The uh slow and study wins the race.
Speaker 6: So you just have to be conceited.
Speaker 9: Talked about with Marlowe the walking, and you said you started.
He's been walking his steps. How many steps do you
do a day?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: I don't know if I count steps, but I think
it comes out to about seven thousand and eight thousand
somewhere in that day. So you're doing your walking on
a five day. That's that's every other day and the
other days. I try to alternate between going into the
gym and pressing iron, yeah, and the walking for the
cardio because I had this all changed the year ago
when I had triple bypass.
Speaker 1: You did, yeah, oh man.
Speaker 4: In fact, it was almost a year ago to the day.
Speaker 1: It looks too young, doesn't wrong.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 5: You got to see the way my mom cooks.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's the cooking, right, it's good.
Speaker 1: You're trying to put you under.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but now you're eating like you tell her you
only want one sandwich instead of two, right, Well I.
Speaker 11: Tell her that, and I tend to see I tend
to be sorry, a little bit more high protein and
low carbohydrates and low fats.
Speaker 9: My protein and high yeah, you.
Speaker 5: Know, low saturated fats nutrition minor at you be low saturated.
Speaker 9: And the drinking is that's where minimal, right.
Speaker 4: I don't drink.
Speaker 9: You don't drink.
Speaker 5: I mean, if I have to drinks a month, it's a.
Speaker 9: Lot wine or something.
Speaker 3: Usually if I drink, it's because I want to catch
a buzz, not because I'm trying.
Speaker 5: That's where the phrase martinis are like boobs comes from. Yeah,
not enough for three too many.
Speaker 1: We'll take a moment. I think it's a great idea
to get a little some nutrition tips. We get a
few when we uh come back.
Speaker 4: I know, yeah, I would definitely love.
Speaker 3: But see the thing is the tips are great, and
I use them and i'll you know occasionally, no I
benefit from him. But you know I got the I
got the GM at home that you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna make this.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have that.
Speaker 5: I said, Okay, man, if he doesn't have a second sandwich,
he's gonna be hungry and we're not eating till six o'clock.
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's.
Speaker 5: Old school, you know. In my house, it's old It's great,
but it's old.
Speaker 3: School, and that's what I have to learn to tell
her how she cooks batter and she cooks low fat
and high protein. And but you know, don't come over
on Sunday if you want to get an education on
how to eat right.
Speaker 1: Right, exactly, all right, We'll take a moment and we'll

come from the passion and the and and the artists
and work of.

Speaker 5: The town and.
Speaker 7: She would make things for us all. The time she
would just make a dress. For me she wouldn't even
have a. Sewing machine she did it all. By hand and,
she wow, oh yeah and. She did she would just
bring you, to her measure you with the piece, of
fabric wrap, it around and she would just and she would.
Speaker 6: Make it she would make all my. Doll CLOTHES and i.
Speaker 4: Bet you she learned it from her.
Speaker 6: Parents too she learned.
Speaker 8: It, well actually.
Speaker 7: My mom grew up in, a convent so she learned
it living with.
Speaker 9: The.
Speaker 6: Nuns wow.
Speaker 7: When she wanted none, of this let me, tell you
she didn't want any of. It ever but her parents
put her in. A convent they put they had, you
know they didn't. Have money they, were farmers and they.
Speaker 6: Two of the kids out of.
Speaker 7: The seven they thought was a great idea, to have,
you know this would be a way for them to
help with the raising.
Speaker 5: Of it it's such an.
Speaker 4: Incredible story it's an.
Speaker 6: Incredible story but that's the.
Speaker 4: Way, it was that's the way we. Grew up that's where.
We are that's what was THAT. Our dna.
Speaker 1: That's all you got so many THINGS that i have to, Ask,
now okay one is it true that like In the,
ITALIAN culture I come IRISH but. I don't i. Don't
know all of this stuff. IS lost i knew, a
Woman an italian Woman. Named sanji she was came from
A large. Italian family sonji had, no children so there
was much like seven in. Your moms they gave her
a daughter to raise and so and SO when I,
Met sanji sanji was a friend of. My mom's The
woman i'm forgetting, her Name but sonji was. Her aunt
but she lived right next door and she had was
taken care. Of her and she said she. Raised me
and that was and AND and i had. Heard that my, father,
goes yeah that was part of the culture. And STUFF
and i guess like in, the depression like my grandfather
there were, eight, kids right and so they had they
took in one more because somebody, couldn't afford, you know
so they had nine that. They RAISED but i don't
know the case you had.
Speaker 5: Came over from the extended.
Speaker 3: Family though that's different from what he's, Talking ABOUT and
i don't know that that's the rule as opposed to
the something like that you'd find sounded.
Speaker 1: VERY loving, I mean i think the girl's.
Speaker 3: And it is very loving and it is a very.
Touching story but to be, THE norm i. Don't, THINK
okay i don't think That any italian would give away one.
Speaker 4: Of their children and, someone, well no it's like.
Speaker 7: A sister it was like, her sister, her sister.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's FINE but i don't think she would Have, Been.
Speaker 1: NO no i think they all lived like the.
Speaker 7: Same street but we always lived down the street from,
My grandparents.
Speaker 4: Like that's the extended family read about.
Speaker 7: Growing, up yeah the question question that, whole village you
know takes. A village, It did but with my, mom's case,
it was, you know they weren't even in the, same
town like they were towns away from. Each other so
my mother only actually saw her siblings and her parents
a couple of times a year for. The holidays they'd
pick them up for, the holiday bring them and then
bring them back a couple. Days later but it WAS really,
i mean, my mom she doesn't have, fond memories. Believe
me and it sounds, wonderful, that oh you were raised
In the catholic church with the priests and. The nuns
it wasn't it wasn't all rainbows. And sunshine but she
learned how. To skill she made all of the priests.
In vestments they embroidered every single linen sheets they so
she could embroider without. A pattern they made all of
the hosts. For church they, did everything they, they gardened they,
you know it was kind of like the orphanage almost because,
it was, you know the kids did all. The work
they did a lot. Of work but my mom, could
knit she, can sew she, can crochet so us kids,
Growing up i'll be sitting on the porch with.
Speaker 8: Our cruche and that was she.
Speaker 4: All learned out that today that would be cool.
Speaker 3: And, sexy yeah You know i'd hire. Back then it
was because. Of necessity it.
Speaker 6: Was necessity there was no.
Speaker 3: Other choice There's not we're not going down to uh
the store and picking up.
Speaker 4: Some, stresses yep we're.
Speaker 5: Making them BECAUSE that.
Speaker 10: I.
Speaker 5: WAS young i hated. It too my mother used to
make MY underwear.
Speaker 1: I pouch.
Speaker 3: I mean like that is just not, at all not.
Speaker 7: At all but, you know my mom did say that
she would because she was in. The convent they weren't
allowed to look in.
Speaker 8: The mirror, they.
Speaker 6: Couldn't, you know they vanity was, you know.
Speaker 7: A sin so but as she, started developed she would
she crocheted her, own undergarments her broad because she said
they wouldn't they wouldn't take care of those things. For
them they were.
Speaker 6: Not alone so she would.
Speaker 8: She would have to croucheate her own bra.
Speaker 5: Because she if they, found, out well it was just.
Speaker 6: Trying to like minimize.
Speaker 7: Herself because she, you know she, she developed, you know,
very young and she was uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: With that and it was because it was because because
of no.
Speaker 6: No no launder top. Underneath it they.
Speaker 8: Dressed them like.
Speaker 7: LITTLE nuns, i mean my mother the pictures from that
she had like the high color, and wow black.
Speaker 6: And, white yeah they didn't wear they were dressed like.
Speaker 1: Little nuns that's something have a fetish.
Speaker 3: For THAT and i fascinated by that because He, WATCHES
no i would.
Speaker 5: HAVE never.
Speaker 3: I would have never picked you to have that deep,
an understanding a passion for the culture.
Speaker 5: That you, come from that.
Speaker 4: YOU have i, Was like.
Speaker 5: I'm fascinated the more, you talk THE more i, Was,
like wow where'd you come?
Speaker 4: From here that is all Old.
Speaker 3: School italian that's, you know that's where that's who.
Speaker 4: We are THAT'S what.
Speaker 5: Dna is it's a.
Speaker 1: FUNNY thing i, would say Like. Immigrants italian AND then
i think the biggest mix for many YEARS in Uh
was Italian and irish for, many years, like right.
Speaker 3: And we were not a desirable country as immigrants WHEN
we i, DON'T think, i.
Speaker 5: Know we Were, not yeah, you're Right the irish And.
Speaker 4: The italians we were not like, oh yeah come.
Speaker 1: On.
Speaker 3: Over yeah there were signs on the door when they
were looking for Work as italians need not.
Speaker 5: Apply there.
Speaker 6: So funny and we.
Speaker 5: Built, their subways we built, their schools we built.
Speaker 1: Their buildings and my grandfather was my grand grandfather, was
construction did the world Of, the empire State Building. New
york and, they built.
Speaker 5: And now they've gone and their second generation has.
Speaker 3: Now started, BACK then i, should say the second, generation, beginners,
doctors lawyers in, the military, in politics and and and
they developed now everybody wants To, be Italian and i'll
tell you there's more people that want To Be.
Speaker 1: Irish ireland AND so i just want to say something
because my father uh learned. To sew and the reason
was my mother was pregnant with me and she started
to take sewing classes and she couldn't figure. It out
so he would help her and he learned. To sew
so there was a time my parents. Were teachers my mom,
back then you took, maternity leave it would be. Two
years it's not that. Way, anymore wow.
Speaker 8: Four, Weeks yeah so.
Speaker 1: She took a two year maternity leave when my sister,
was born and then she got pregnant again and, She
said i'm thinking had taken another. Two years and my,
father's like we're, not again, no money. No anything my
father was the closest thing to what you're talking about
in terms of. Just SURVIVAL and i, always Say. Like
renaissance the man. Was brilliant he had a doctorate, In, philosophy.
Yes PhD we talked, About this we talked. About this
so my father cut the oil because we couldn't afford,
oil heat went and built a double barrel stove and
cut wood and hooked. It up the house was always
warm and for. My sister never wanted her to. Look
poor so he would go to the children's clothing stores
and look at the patterns and understand it and then.
Go home and then he made her coach with black.
Velvet collars, yeah, yeah, Yeah yeah so you never because,
he's like you never want to. Look poor you always
want to look. Your, best yeah one. Hundred, Percent, LISTEN
wally I say i have said on the podcast and
on radio. FOR years i had. Three sons we had
an easy pass into the. Emergency room all. The time
someone was jumping off, a roof breaking, the foot this
one was jumping in, the pool bye. Bye BYE so
i always kept a button down shirt starched on a
handy because ice Where. To god you get, treated differently,
no question you get.
Speaker 4: TREATED different i did, that STUDY and.
Speaker 1: I know that. It sounds people want, to, go hey
we don't, you know. Don't, judge well hang on. A
second you can't. Help it you can't. Help it if
you see a group of teenage boys walking down, THE
street i don't care what shade of their skin. Tone
is you may walk on the. Other side you Know what,
I'm saying just because you don't know what's going.
Speaker 4: To happen, ONE time i, SHOULD say i Walked.
Speaker 3: INTO wegman, I said i gotta try THIS because i
was young in the Business and i'm hearing all this
STUFF and i wanted to define my career path and my.

there with a SUITE and i want my tie with.
Everything was my tie was perfectly tied up against the,
shirt collar my jacket was, PRESSED against i had, A
button i had, my shoes, shined everything and everybody treated
me totally different because of. That FACT now i was

a right and no one gave me the time.
Speaker 5: OF day i went in there.
Speaker 3: With a, suit ON and i just wanted to SEE because,
i gotta, you Know if i'm gonna put a career
into clothing like my, parents did like my grandparents did
their parents, BEFORE him i want to understand the dynamics.
OF it i tell you that had a big part
of the dress passionately moniker that we developed back in,
the day.
Speaker 4: Because you gotta have, that blood you gotta have, that
burn you gotta have your love for what. You do
and what you do.
Speaker 3: Is create an image for not only yourself but the
people around you so they can walk.
Speaker 4: INTO it i tell, these guys what are you gonna
wear when you walk into the bank you want to
borrow two hundred thousand dollars the? Country business and what
are you gonna do when you?

Speaker 5: One Years and.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this one, last Thing and I'M.
Speaker 1: No i got another question. For you we got this.
Speaker 3: ONE time i did this. ONE time i was the
young snotty nose kid in. The business to check, this
OUT and i read someplace where positioning is not, only
important but it balances. Your IMAGE so i was in
a MEETING and i had to say something to a
bunch of the.

sat DOWN and i delivered WHATEVER message i was trying.
Speaker 1: To deliver and.
Speaker 3: They were all, Like this they were all looking at
me and. Paying ATTENTION because i sat in, that chair
that chair. Came across there's the.
Speaker 5: Point of power for that.
Speaker 3: Old room it was amazing that it was one of
those life lessons you learned that, you, say okay when
you want to deliver, a message you want to, be
heard sit in the chair of.
Speaker 4: The owner of, the place or the boss or, the
chairman and you get.
Speaker 1: Listened to how did you take the family business and
