Speaker 1: I had a vision.
Speaker 3: To reach Hey, everybody, welcome to for crying out loud.
We have a special guest in studio, not Stephanie.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to not mustay right now myself after the
Patreon we just recorded.

Speaker 3: Well, we do it on our Patreon show, so not
everybody can hear.

link Letter.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They host.
Speaker 4: The host of Lady Gang Oh teams up with her
best friend true crime TV producer to explore stories of
the Cuckoo's crimes, colts, and conspiracies. Imaginable well, I like
that with renowned crime journalists Billy Jensen, and they talk
to the once ordinary people who are one degree away
from these stories, and who knows, you may even end
up being their next guest.
Speaker 6: Like that.
Speaker 1: Love that's true, talk them out.
Speaker 4: They're called the first Degree every Wednesday from podcast one.
Speaker 7: Okay, I know for a fact, yes, and this is me. Yes,
Dateline and all that stuff, that's that's that's women. Women
say that it's ninety percent women are the ones that
watch that.
Speaker 2: That's the viewers. Yes, hands down.
Speaker 7: Well, every girl I ever dated it's a dateline marathon,
like on a Wednesday night for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they like to watch it. I used to live
on the Oprah network. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I used to love watching Dayline with Adam and I
when we were dating, we would watch Dateline twenty twenty
and that's how we bonded.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then he was faking it. It was football. Yeah,
and like we fake I mean.
Speaker 4: I love the yeah, true crime totally in Yeah, I'm like, oh,
I love the Giants.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm really interested in who's commishing them this

Speaker 7: You're right though, Stephanie I fake it too, you do
you don't like sports?
Speaker 2: No, No, that's good.
Speaker 1: One, that's good, thank you.
Speaker 7: I will say this though, I did enjoy it. When
we first started dating Amy and I, I noticed that
every girl loves watching Dateline. It's always on the Oprah network.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 7: And then I found myself like, it's too negative. Yes,
it's too it's too much for your soul.
Speaker 2: Man, heavy.
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that women like to complain? Yeah? But
is like complaining like a huge version of just complaining?
Speaker 7: Yeah, with a solution, but not a good solution.
Speaker 1: Now it always ends up bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's a true crime show about rich people, by the way,
it's called.
Speaker 1: Rich Crime something. Yeah. Yeah, so just running out of Oh.
Speaker 4: But you know what, Yeah, actually, I don't know if
I'm supposed to say this, I won't say it.
Speaker 1: But but unrelated, well, you can't.
Speaker 7: Okay, you can't do that, all right, you can't say
I don't know if I'm supposed to say this.
Speaker 2: You know what I noticed there?
Speaker 4: But yeah, somebody that we know is going to be profiled. Well,
their story is going to be on forty eight hours.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's stop calling that person a friend.
Speaker 3: Our story was profiled on forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: I know Henery guy that shot and killed himself.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, I remember that.
Speaker 1: Yes, now you're all ears now yeah, now back in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm tuned in again.
Speaker 4: You know, Oxygen used to just be about like you know,
abused women and you know women in peril, and now
it's only a true crime that's I don't know it's
a true crime channel because they're like, well, we already
have the women watching us, let's just give them what
they want.
Speaker 7: I told Amy that you know you are we consume, right,
So consumption could be anything. It could be food, it
could be drink, it could be what you watch.
Speaker 2: It's consumption. You you, whatever you take in you become.
Speaker 7: And I always said it's like when you watch a
bunch of datelines and you watch a bunch of true crimes,
you slowly become that that thought.
Speaker 2: Process that happened to you. And it's not healthy.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I told her we got a limit. She said, get
the fuck out of the house. And she said, she
said trolling mom.
Speaker 7: Yeah no, she agreed. So we it's not like we
used to. We used to watch it five days a week. Honestly,
it was easy to put on and now.
Speaker 2: It's like, to be honest, I don't remember us watching it.
It has been Yeah, it's been a while.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just I binge on it, you know, I
save them. I get a bunch of date lines and
then I just go through them all and get it
all out of my sister.
Speaker 2: You just purge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it that urge or binge wellege in
a way I get. I purge my I purge my
DVR of them, and I binge consumption wise.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe, you're a dad, You're a parent.
Speaker 1: Don't forget up. How's your son?
Speaker 2: You're you?
Speaker 1: He's amazing, and he's in which grade he's in?
Speaker 2: He's tenth now? Tenth? Yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: That's really gone fast for me. It's too fast right now.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 7: You know what makes me even sadder is, you know
I I purposely went out of my way to make
sure that he is best friends with all of his cousins.
But I die. This family is going to be so
damn strong and is because of me.
Speaker 1: Take all that credit.
Speaker 7: I will because my my like all my cousins, and
our family separated all of us, because all of them
are feuding within the family and that was slowly happening again,
and it was like, my man is not talking to
Duncan because my aunt's not talking to my cousin. And
then my mom's not talking to my aunt, so I'm
not talking to this and I was like, I'm not
doing this anymore, Like I don't even know.
Speaker 2: Why we're mad at them, Like what is this?
Speaker 7: This is stupid and I and when I started making money,
I literally I literally took them on vacation every year.
I would fly nine of them to Hawaii, they know,
and we would just hang out and they would just
be locked up in their rooms, or I'd give them
money and they'd just go the beach or whatever. But
they now, they are inseparable. They are the bestest of friends,
and I'm glad I did it. When I did it, it
was like when they were like ten eleven, you know
what I mean, Like they're trying to find their identity
and they're slowly becoming teens, and you know, that's when
you pick and choose what path you want to be on.
Speaker 2: And man, they are.
Speaker 7: It's fun to watch because I get jealous a little
inside because I don't have I have one cousin.
Speaker 2: I'm very close to Mona.
Speaker 7: But like the other ones, I don't know, you know,
because because of my mom and my aunts, because of
their feuding.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just so icky.
Speaker 1: It is, I it is. But do they live close
by each other?
Speaker 7: They the ones in Vegas do? It's my son and
the other cousin lives in Bakersfield.
Speaker 2: But man, they are. They're always on a group chat,
They're always on a group snap. There. It's like they're
their brothers and you know that.
Speaker 1: And they're all in close in age.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're all boys. No, we have one girl, yeah, Amanda.
Oh and then Renee yeah, Renee too.
Speaker 1: How many are there?
Speaker 2: There's like nine of them. Man that I went out
of my way. I really did. I really really cool.
Speaker 4: We talk about that a lot on our podcast, just
the whole how you know, in our generation, nobody went
out of their way to like help move your friendships
along or you're you know, you have to do that.
Speaker 1: You're like left on your own. You start the first
day of junior high and it's like good luck out there. Yeah,
I know. Now we're like, oh, who do.
Speaker 2: You want to have a play day with?
Speaker 4: Oh, let me, let me try get the roster Let
me find the parent's name and number. Let me text
him and say, hey, there's.
Speaker 1: A pool that so did you want to end We
all meet there maybe a beach day, and you're like,
and then the kid moves on to I don't like
that person anymore. I want to be friends with this person.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me meet the parents.
Speaker 1: Exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: That's exactly how it is. It was way different when
we were kids.
Speaker 1: No, nobody cared about our friendships.
Speaker 7: My mom didn't care about the weekend. She had no
interest on what I was doing in the weekend. She
knew that was her time to sleep.
Speaker 1: And you are the only child or.
Speaker 2: No, No, I got three.
Speaker 1: You got three, and I got.
Speaker 2: A brother and two sisters.
Speaker 1: All right, and you're close with them.
Speaker 2: It's so crazy, my my. You know a lot of
feuding in the family. So sisters. I did this.
Speaker 7: I did this joke on my special about how my
mom and my sisters always fought and my sisters moved
out at like seventeen eighteen, right, And you know, when
you watch it, it's funny, but it's so deep. It's
such a deeply there's a lot of pain behind that
joke because it's so true. It's like I lost my
relationship with my sisters because my mom fought and I
was four years younger.
Speaker 2: So it's like, right, I didn't.
Speaker 7: Get that bond until after I got out of high school,
and it was weird. But yeah, now I'm like super
duper close to Gemma, who's my she's adopted. She runs
all of Joe Coy Entertainment. That's that's her baby. Man
and I got a restaurant.
Speaker 1: And she's the she's running the restaurant.
Speaker 2: Heart owner and manager of that one.
Speaker 1: Baby. Thank you.
Speaker 7: That's the first thing she said to me. She goes,
just give me a percent so I can be an owner.
I gave her a percentage of it. But she's amazing.
She's my everything.
Speaker 3: She's great. That's so nice. That's so special. I hope
my kids stay together.
Speaker 2: Oh they will, I hope.
Speaker 1: And they don't have But we talked about this because
we don't.
Speaker 3: We don't our parents. We're not close with our well,
my parents are gone, but like, there's not. My kids
don't have a lot of cousins that they get to see.
They live in Chicago, and their cousins are older, they're twenty,
they have kids, they're married with kids. Yeah, so it's
kind of hard, but they love. They get so sad
when they have to leave each other. Oh really, Oh yeah,
they my kids have they make it barely cry, but
they cry when they get home. And why are you
guys crying? Because I'm miss not gonna see them, like
you're not gonna you know. And so I try to
make it a point to get them together at least
do I see here, Yeah, like at Christmas time and
then July, but like summertime. But it is, it's good,
it's it's I wish I could take them all to Hawaii. Yeah,
that would be great, take them anywhere.
Speaker 7: I know, I man, I just I love the fact
how closely are I get? I really do get jealous,
Yeah I do, but I get a big smile on
my face because I'm yes, that's what I want.
Speaker 2: Is not everything I wanted, you know why? And you
know what, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: You know what else I did because a lot of
kids always like, yes, mother, yes you're met at the family.
Speaker 2: I will whatever you say. I approve.
Speaker 7: And then that that that minute when I was just
like mom, I'm done, you know what I mean, Like
I'm having Christmas at my house and whoever comes comes.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you who's
coming and then you know, set up times because when
when's she going to leave? And then all come over.
It's like, I'm not doing that. It's Christmas family food.
If you come, you come. If you don't come, that's
your fault, right, I invited you. I'm not I'm not
in a fight with you. So if you don't want
to come, don't be. Yeah, I'm not going to sit
here and worry about who you don't like. And maybe
I shouldn't call my mom right now because blah blah
b h's here.
Speaker 1: Right and I'm with the trauma. We don't know it.
Speaker 7: Just like all of us just look at each other
like what's going on? Like why is she mad? Like
why are they mad at each other? We don't know.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of that in my family, the
Middle Eastern side of my family. They got tempers.
Speaker 2: And grudges and grudges, grudges. Man, it stays longer than
luggage mass.
Speaker 1: It does. It does.
Speaker 3: And we we had a.
Speaker 1: Joes aer like that too.
Speaker 4: Don't be me out, Okay, the Jews are into Yeah,

Speaker 4: The ship went down over Thanksgiving, over over them not
wanting to come to my house for Thanksgiving. When I
was like, because so this person was going to be there,
and I was like, I can't.
Speaker 1: What I was called selfish?
Speaker 4: How dare you not respect like the elders to have
Thanksgiving at their house because they don't want to come
to my house because my.
Speaker 2: Brother, like, you know what you do? Know what else?
I'm done with. I'm done with this one right here.
Speaker 7: I'm tired of the elders need a little extra respect.
My respect is on every level. It doesn't matter if
you're nine years old or seventy nine.
Speaker 2: You're a dick. You're a dick.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: You don't get respect. No, you know, my my, my drop,
it's the truth.
Speaker 7: Because my my, my, my grandmother, my lo Latina, who
I love so much, she remarried and and I just
felt like there was no respect between him and I.
Her husband, you know, he was my grandfather. It was
her husband. And I feel bad because it's my favorite aunt,
my at the Evilent, I mean, my Ati Belle, it's
her dad.
Speaker 2: I love my aunt de Belle.
Speaker 7: But he was such a dick to me, and I
felt like, like, you know, and they were like, you
should respect him, and I'm like, but he doesn't respect me,
Like that's not cool. You can't treat me like that.
I feel like an outsider. Every time I come over,
he pretends he doesn't know my name.
Speaker 2: But you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: He acts like when I knock on the door, he
doesn't answer, He'll open the door and slam it on me.
Speaker 1: It's like like as an adult twenty.
Speaker 7: I was like, nineteen twenty eighteen, nineteen twenty is when
you know I was around him.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. I don't know why I
brought that up, but inspect your elders. Yeah, I'm just
like and everyone was always like, oh, you need it.
He's just old. It's like, no, man, you know what
you're doing?
Speaker 7: No, right, I see, I was communicating with other people's
he's normal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's old got to do with him? Hating that?
Speaker 1: I agree, that's old got to do you got to
do with it. You gotta have some respect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the best and this pot ever.
Speaker 1: And you said that when you walked in. Why why
do you think we're not hip?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You are first of all you have. Listen, I
love I love, I love.
Speaker 7: I love it when a woman wears uh T shirts
and and like when my when my, when my girl,
when Amy wears sweats and a tea, it's over with,
we can go anywhere. Yeah, I love it when she
and I also love it because it's what I love. No, listen,
I know, but you look good, you look hot. But
but what's cool is when she throws it on. It's
like it's like you're watching pretty woman. It's like, you
know what I mean, It's like, whoa.
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that she's already hot in
the T shirt, no makeup and all that, and I
love that.
Speaker 7: It's just such a turn on to me. And then
when she throws it on, when she throws it on,
you're just like, oh my.
Speaker 1: God, Okay, so tell us about your relations.
Speaker 2: You didn't even care about that. I care about that compliment.
Speaker 1: I thank you. We're about to take compliment. We don't you.
Speaker 7: See that, Kaitlin, see how they just walk an amazing compliment.
Speaker 1: For another guy around.
Speaker 2: Kaylen agrees, Kaitlyn's always dressed like laundry. This is Kaitlyn
an award show. That's his Award show.
Speaker 1: I love that line.
Speaker 3: It's my favorite line, and I always give you credit
that you say that the guys around here look like look.
Speaker 2: Like laundry day. Yeah. Yeah, man, I'm not a polite sorry.
Speaker 4: Lynette and I are always like okay, First of all,
the reward of being podcasters, yes, right, isn't that the
thing we all dreamed of is doing radio? So you
doesn't have to look like I'm like, I feel like
I've made it because I don't have to make up
like every once in a while, I do, you know,
I try to like look my best, but it's like,
what are we doing?
Speaker 1: We're just talking, but not on campus.
Speaker 7: That's the cool thing about you, too beautiful, even without
that thank you?
Speaker 1: Do you are you on Snapchat?
Speaker 2: By the way, I got rid of that.
Speaker 7: I got rid of that when my son was I
got it and I remember telling my son that there's
a snapchat and he was like, that's stupid, and then
he slowly started doing it, and then I realized I'm
stupid because there's no reason why I should share an
app or be on the same app where my son
has dog ears in a picture and I have dog
ears in a picture, not mature at all.
Speaker 3: And I either want you to like either open your
mouth or like get next to a friend.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what are we in a frat party?
Speaker 2: Mask?
Speaker 3: I either open your mouth or get with a friend.
What the fuck? What's going on? But what do you
think about social media and your kid and your son?
Speaker 1: Like, how do you handle that? I feel like my
son is on Instagram?
Speaker 2: Do parents always say this? Every time we talk to
a parent, they always say, I feel like my kid
is just a little smarter than the other ones.
Speaker 7: We all say that, right, I really truly feel that
way with my son. I feel like there's there's something,
you know. He said something to me the other day.
I go, why don't you like inviting your friends to
our house? Because our house is amazing. I've seen it.
I saw you do a cooking thing the other day.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, cooking. Yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 7: We have a he has a half court basketball court.
My god, he's got a full size pool. He's got
a tonne of land, he's got he's got a guesthouse
with its own Wi Fi and own mattresses andfrigerators and stocked.
Speaker 2: When his friends come over, they all stay over there.
Speaker 1: What you said do you have any opening family?
Speaker 2: And I go, why don't you? Why do you always
go to your friend's house?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 2: I don't understand why they can't come here? Like I'm
the coolest you know, I'm the coolest Joe. Like your
friends love me when you go when you go to parties.
Speaker 7: Your friends always tell me, we put your Netflix on
and we sat in the living room.
Speaker 2: They always say that. His friends say.
Speaker 1: That, not him, so funny, And.
Speaker 7: I'm just like, your friends love me, man, they wear
my sweatshirts. And then he just told me he goes. Dad,
I just I don't really like it.
Speaker 2: When people are here at our house, like I don't
want to entertain.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I get it. I get him.
Speaker 2: I want to hear, yeah, he goes.
Speaker 7: I just want to go to a place, have pullow
my friends and leave when I want, right, and not
worry abound cleaning up. I don't want to worry about
them spilling stuff on the ground.
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't want to. I don't. Yeah, I just
don't want them in my place.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 3: I know it makes sense. I see that with my
son has his friends come over. He doesn't like it,
and I see him I go like, Sonny, ask your
friend if he wants something to drink? You want something
in a drink? He doesn't think about, you know, the
kid hasn't eaten, and you know, they have a sleepover
and I wake up a little late or whatever, and
it's like, did you guys see anything now? And the
kid's like starving? Oh, do you want some cereal? You
guys can make.
Speaker 1: Yourselves bowls of cereals. It's there, right, you got anything
you want.
Speaker 2: Our kids are a.
Speaker 4: Little younger, though, so we still have that like when
the parents come pick up and then you send them
on your way, and then you're all of a sudden,
you get that feeling of fear that the kid's gonna
go like, oh, yeah, I haven't eaten in about twenty
four hours. Yeah, and then you're gonna get that totally
forgot about that pretty hungry or the one that I had,
which is a classic story on our podcast about the girl.
The little girl came over and they did go get snacks,
and then the mom texted me like in the like
at one am and was like, yeah, so I'm at
the er with my daughter and she's been throwing up.
Speaker 1: Did she have anything red?
Speaker 4: To eat, and I was like, only like two bags
of talkies.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, stuff, this is crazy. This is the
same thing that happened to me.
Speaker 2: It did happen.
Speaker 7: So my son's birthday, this is like I think when
he turned I don't know, I'll make up a number
nine or eights.
Speaker 2: Eight. Okay, let's just say he turned eight.
Speaker 7: And I rented a Limo right and big suv one
because that's what my son wanted, and and we went.
I followed him because I wasn't allowing on the suv
and we followed him the Magic Mountain and he got
to and he got to bring like five friends and
I got them the f slash pass and everything in
front of the line passed. Whatever you guys want to eat,
I won't be around you. I'll hang out, uh, but
you guys do whatever you want. And they, you know,
Talkie sponsors Magic Mountains. I was just going to tell
you that sponsored.
Speaker 2: Magic and mice. They were killing it. Fingertips read everything
and he hit his friend was throwing up really yeah
to where.
Speaker 4: These kids, huh this is the same age. Yes, this
last year the girls. Yeah, so my kids are ten,
so this was last year. The girl's nine.
Speaker 7: I felt so bad. Oh yeah, eat, call the parents
and go I'm so sorry. I guess he ate too
many talkies.
Speaker 2: I don't know the same thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this girl was not allowed at our house
after that because they were like yeah, yeah, it was
already I was already like having to work really hard
because they're from another culture that's a very overprotective, and
it was like really hard. I had to work very
hard to get play dates to even happen at our house.
Speaker 1: And then even then, they were like a lot of
phone calls. What are you, what are you doing? What
are you doing?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 4: Can I talk to her on the phone? And then
that happened and I was like I was done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did get a good story out of it.
Speaker 4: Now we're trying to get talkies to sponsor our next
live show.
Speaker 2: Oh that'd be great. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Because of course tons of people were like, what are
these talkies you speak of?
Speaker 2: I'm going to try them exactly the man.

stack of oh of the talkies without the powder And

Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: Do your friends, so he has friends spend the night obviously, yeah,
but do they does any parents ever give you heart?
Do you ever experience what we've experienced coming across kids

they don't want to spend or maybe they think that
you're like Hollywood or you're you know, one of those
you're going to be having.

a McDonald's all everything for his friends too.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 7: And it was to the point where all the parents
were like, yeah, little Joe's dad.
Speaker 2: Is the ship. That's so cute. Yeah that's cool dad.
Speaker 1: Cool dad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, making the rest of us look bad, making us
five seven day a week parents look bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, your twenty four parents look at me what I do.
And just a little bit of time.
Speaker 3: If we were part time, we imagine we could a
gun done.
Speaker 2: I never understood why that was such a big deal
for my mom. I get it.
Speaker 7: She was a single parent, she didn't have any money.
My dad was skipping on on child support. But man,
just one, just one happy meal. You couldn't do one
one mom.
Speaker 2: Cents. That was like pulling teeth with my mom. You know,
I still remember this to my dailing.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, Stephan now walking all over I don't know,
but this is like I want every parent to remember
what you remember the most.
Speaker 2: It's always that little thing, yes, and that remember your
kids are gonna do the same thing. They're gonna remember
that little thing because I remember after church we went
to this deli and there was a bowl of hard
boiled eggs and it was twenty five cents an egg.
Speaker 7: And my mom would not buy me the egg. Really,
she thought it was just like, Mike, we have eggs
at home. I'm believing, but we're going to church or
are we just left church? Like I forgot what the
reason was.
Speaker 2: I want the egg now.
Speaker 1: It's just a quarter, right.
Speaker 2: She made me feel so bad. I remember sitting in
the car like hungry, and I wanted that egg and
like so mad, and I was like, to this day,
look at me. I'm in my forties and I remember
an egg store.
Speaker 3: Right right, But you know food in kids, a lot
of memories come from that. What Adam Will would say, like,
you know, it's good to cook for the kids, you know,
because I hate cooking, like we don't like.
Speaker 1: To cook, but he likes it.
Speaker 3: But but as soon as he's gone, Natalia go, mom,
let's order Postmates, you know, like, let's order you know,
uh something whatever from Postmates, Tea pumps.
Speaker 1: Have you had tea pumps yet? No, it's all the
rave in our school. It's it's like the kids are
all about these.
Speaker 3: These these these teas, these iced teas with these goba
But there's a place called Tea Pumps and they're franchised
now and they're like the kids go insane. Yeah, but
it's as soon as they're gone, Natalian will order. We
ordered breakfast, lunch, and dinner the whole weekend. Don't tell him,
well he was gone because I don't like to cook.
But I'm hoping that she'll remember Postmates when she gets older.
Speaker 2: That'll be fun. That is. Actually she's gonna love that
about it. She isma never did that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she didn't. She didn't order Postmates.
Speaker 2: I wish she never got his fast food or anything
for you.
Speaker 4: I remember like just not getting like the c I
remember and I we I actually talked to elv about
this recently, my older daughter who's thirteen. We were talking
about how like some moms well about the things that
they all want, like Adidas Vans, right they and I
always buy that stuff from my kids strictly maybe over compensating,
but I don't think so. Based on the fact that
my mom never was she had no she could not
empathize with how important it was that I wanted to
fit in and have the same brand that everybody when
I was a kid had Nikes. Everybody had it, and
I had to have the rip off brand from like
jac Penny something. And it was like I'd rather not
have them, yeah, than have the one that's wrong, the
wrong shoe. And it's like, I just I sometimes I don't.
I don't love spending like full price at like sports
whatever when you're at the mall, but I will sometimes
order them. But you know what I'm saying, because I
want them to have the exact one that everybody else has.
Speaker 2: It's important, it's important.
Speaker 4: To them, and I want them to grow up and
remember like, oh, I didn't want for fitting in with
my friends and my mom just being like, that's stupid.
Speaker 1: I'm not buying them.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what my mom did.
Speaker 7: She called them rubber shoes. She called them rubber shoes.
How immigrant is that rubber shoes? Rubber shoes. I'm not
paying one hundred dollars for rubber shoes. It's just rubber.
Speaker 2: It's the difference from that shoe and the one over
at Guineas. She always took me.
Speaker 6: To Kenny Shoes. Of course, they had all the shoes
that looked like Nikes. Is like a whale or something,
just like a way.
Speaker 2: It was like a whale, like.
Speaker 7: A whale, but it wasn't It looked like a.
Speaker 1: Like a mile away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like yeah, some Nikes. That's a whale. So embarrassing,
and my mom thought, it looks just like it. It's
why did this robber? It's robber.
Speaker 7: It's forty dollars for no, I'm not a big one
hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 4: It's robber shoes, right, And then we're the ungrateful ones
always like I just spend forty dollars.
Speaker 1: Why aren't you happy? Why the face?
Speaker 2: Why the they? Why are you sad? Because I have
a whale on my foot. I look like an idiot.
We're not going to Sea World? Who? What is this? Yeah?
You know she went to Disneyland and didn't take any
of us.
Speaker 3: She did no when you were a kid, could you
no wonder why you take your kids everywhere time?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 7: I never went to an amusement park really, And now
you know what, Look, I'm not gonna make my mom
sound like a bad person. You know this is I
clearly remember her going to Disneyland with I forgot who
she went with, Like, how do you.
Speaker 1: Go to Disneyland without your kids?
Speaker 4: Like it's all about seeing the look on your kids' faces.
Although I know I went to Disneyland with only Albie,
but go on, I don't know.
Speaker 7: I remember it was we were very young, and I
think I think they went to Disneyland. I think they
had to go somewhere that was in LA and they
just went to Disneyland because they were there. And I
totally remember that, and that haunted me my whole life,
because I didn't go to Disneyland until I was like
twenty three.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, And you grew.
Speaker 2: Up with my friend Peter.
Speaker 1: We both went at age twenty three.
Speaker 7: Like twenty three, twenty two. I just remember neither one
of us went. We had those immigrant parents.
Speaker 2: I just my god.
Speaker 3: And when you got there to realize they didn't sell alcohol,
and we were like, what the fuck are we doing?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Why are we here?
Speaker 1: It's not magical.
Speaker 4: Like there's a thing about being a kid in Disneyland
where you don't see the wires right, yeah, see like
how they built it. So you're just like, oh my god.
There's pirates. Yeah right, they feel.
Speaker 1: Real to you.
Speaker 4: There's I do this right, You're in this world, you're flying,
you're in the peter Pan. And then you're an adult
and you're like, okay, I see that. I can see
the ceiling.
Speaker 2: I see it now. I saw the employee eating a
hot dog.
Speaker 1: And smoking right right right.
Speaker 2: In between buildings, right right.
Speaker 1: Have you ever gone to Disneyland and got the chauf for.
Speaker 3: The the yes eating disney World Disney is it? No

like maybe a hour.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: I got to see every animal, got to pet every animal,
got to ride every ride.
Speaker 2: It was amazing.
Speaker 1: Those VIP people are expensive and worth every penny, every penny.
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, if you're going to do anything as
far as vacation, go all out.
Speaker 2: Man, it's so worth it it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is the flash pass by the flash pass
by anything.
Speaker 7: Whenever they offer a front of line pass, buy it,
buy it. Just don't eat, bring chips something I turn.
Line is worth everything. Yes, especially okay, what is it called?
Universal Studios always does their theme park the whore.
Speaker 6: Night, Oh my god, and they sell the front of
line pass a month in advance.
Speaker 7: Buy ituse that is a two and a half hour
wait each line.
Speaker 2: Oh man, there's one that's at least three hours. I'm

it's called.
Speaker 1: My money.
Speaker 8: They han, Yeah, I'll scare you here, say and scare
you it's free head.
Speaker 2: I'll hit you like that and go boo.
Speaker 4: So my friend, my BFF Julie, said that she was
hearing you on a pod cast talking about your mom movies,
going to the movies and feeling like why is the
movie so short, and that she the longer the movie
even if it's shitty.
Speaker 1: You were doing a bit about if the movie's longer.
Speaker 4: She really enjoyed that because like you could get so
much done, Like it wasn't about the content of the movie.
Speaker 2: Why quantity, quantity over quality.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that she was like, oh, Joe, that was a
good movie because it was like two hours.
Speaker 7: Two hours and forty five minutes. I don't remember saying
that that was probably a riff or something like that.
Speaker 1: And you're riffing and that you said that.
Speaker 4: Your mom was like, oh, that was such a good movie, jo,
I got my taxes done.
Speaker 2: I don't remember that.
Speaker 4: She doesn't like how the movie was too short, like
it was like an It was like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Why was it only an out and a half. It's
a terrible movie.
Speaker 2: I'm glad. I'm glad you're telling you this. That is
my mom. That is my mom.
Speaker 7: But that's that's her culture though, that quantity over quality.
Speaker 2: It's it's so true.
Speaker 3: My mom would go to the movies and walk right
in because she's Italian, and she'd be like, nobody asked
me for nothing.
Speaker 1: I took to go with the crowd. I just to
walk right in.
Speaker 3: I no, I don't go to buy a thing like
that's and she would do that at the gym. She
never bought a gym membership. Remember that's Italian, that's Italian.
She just walk right in and she just says, I,
you know, walks right past the girl at the front
desk when she's not looking, just goes and works out.
And I mean it was embarrassing because I go to
that gym, they go, your mom keeps coming in. I
had to tell her, like there was a long time
where she just kept did she was doing it, and
there was a lot of turnover at the front desk,
so nobody really knew, like lady, this Italian lady would
just walk right by.
Speaker 6: They thought that, you know, she was part of the
Oh she's cool, your mom's cool.
Speaker 2: That's a cool mom.
Speaker 3: No, I love this embarrassing. Nobody looks, nobody cares. I
just walk right in, you know.
Speaker 2: Me sneaking of yesterday in.
Speaker 1: Her mind, she's not even sneaking.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: It's like, why wouldn't I it's a public place.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's probably. Yes, my mom is the same, well
not the same as that. But if she can get
it for a little free here and there, yeah, that's
that's good.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's our culture. It's like that's why I call
my my tour break the mold. I'm trying to like,
let's break that. Like that's good. I don't want the
families to fight anymore. I see that's a trend in
every especially Filipino families. I see that a lot, you know,
and I'm probably gonna get phone calls right now, going.
Speaker 2: Oh that's not right. We don't alight, but like, yeah,
it's true.
Speaker 7: Like every fan like that comes to my show, they go, yeah,
my mom never talked to my brother, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: It's it's I feel like it's.
Speaker 5: Is that every family or is that or is it
just as Yes, the Italians do it, the Middle Easterns
do it, Yeah, all of them, of course.
Speaker 3: But our families, both sides of the family. Yeah, there's
always drama. There's always drama. Like so and so can't
go to the wedding. Why because because the wife doesn't
get along with her husband.
Speaker 2: True, you know, it's true.
Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't need to be that way.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's how it was. At my sister's wedding. Everyone
was sitting in different spots. I thought, I know, the elephant,
like three elephants in the room. Yeah, you know, yeah,
just three rings. I had a top, had.
Speaker 2: My mama and everyone everyone turns their head.
Speaker 1: So is your mom still mad at people? Always?
Speaker 2: No one even understands. Why have you ever asked her?
Speaker 1: Yes, what she says?
Speaker 2: She has an excuse, you know, Yeah, I don't agree
with it, but she has her excuses.
Speaker 7: And I just I'm all right, I don't see why
that energy is being spent on that, right.
Speaker 6: Have you ever been in a feud with her? Yeah,
all the time, but where you guys weren't talking? And
I never and I'll never apologize. I never do because
I know I'm not wrong, and I'm going to continue
to disagree with her. But the thing is I don't
stop talking to her.
Speaker 1: That's that's good.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, she'll have.
Speaker 7: Her words with me and she'll say what she has
to say, and then I'll call her them the next
day and like yeah, yeah, But I will never apologize
for how I feel. I'm just I'm just letting her know, Like, Mom,
this is what you feel high, What do I say?
What you care passionately about, your your reasoning? It's nothing.
No one even thinks about it like that. It's it's
nothing to us.
Speaker 1: But they don't understand.
Speaker 2: She doesn't get it and get it.
Speaker 4: They don't look at it that way. Does she ever
send you long abuse of emails?
Speaker 2: Man? You want to see this text? Yes? Wait, our
parents are saying, oh my god, look.
Speaker 3: For your text while we tell you about simply saying yeah, yeah,
we do.
Speaker 7: All right, So my mom doesn't have an iPhone? So
her would you send a message? I guess it turns
green green? Okay, So so now you know, so now
you know that gray is her bubble.
Speaker 2: Right, okay, okay, So.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised she has not, like my parents did, not
want anything to do with the iPhone or an iPad
or even a d v R.
Speaker 1: We try to get my dad a d v R.
I don't need. I don't need that crap my v
c R.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the v c R, that's clearly no. And
then then we'll make up and then boom.
Speaker 9: Again.
Speaker 1: Can you just give us like a little look at that.
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, they're always that, they're always bad, and then
we'll make up.
Speaker 4: Joseph, I see that she really does call you. Yeah,
can you read us one?
Speaker 2: It's kind of it's kind of deep. Okay, Yeah, I
want to it's just it's it's kind of deep. You
don't want to cry, especially this one. This one, this
one kind of made me mad right here. But I
don't want to say anything.
Speaker 1: So she knows. Does she know like how to trigger you?
Speaker 7: I think she does. She knows how to get under
my skin, but I ignore it. I will not respond. Yeah,
and she'll just keep sending these big bubbles of something
and I won't.
Speaker 2: I won't respond and then will wait a couple of
mad huh.
Speaker 1: But it makes you mad, like, yeah, feeling mad.
Speaker 2: I call my sister, you know, and I'm just like, dude,
I don't understand what she's not getting right now, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And your sister will can sympathize, right, Yeah, she understands.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My sister's starting to get frustrated too, because it's
like how many times we have to explain, you know, and.
Speaker 1: How old your mom?
Speaker 7: I see, here we go. We that's what my sister
says to me.
Speaker 2: She's old.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, she's seventy one. It's not old. But you
want to roll with the punch. You got to just
let them be. I'll be seventy one next year. That
is not old.
Speaker 2: Read up my mouth dropped.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm at an age where apparently that is not
completely outside the row, Like no, wait, wow, ift, no talks.
Speaker 1: You've had a lot of botoks out of here. You
weren't just like ah, you were like he was kind
of like, huh.
Speaker 7: You know who I'm in love with right now? My
next door neighbor. She lives right at the bottom of
my hill.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, she's seventy.
Speaker 7: Ninety oh, and she drives to Gelson's every week.
Speaker 2: I love that she's part of this.
Speaker 7: She does like volunteer work for like the Nurse of
the Nuns, like this nun whatever thing she does.
Speaker 2: She puts flyers together.
Speaker 7: She always looks for donations, and it's always me that
gives the most. She probably always gives me a letter
from the nuns. They love you. They do a prayer
for your joke on. She's so sweet. And here's the
best part. She came to a show and I had
no idea, no way. She came to the ice House
in Pasadena. It was just a pop up show I
did on a Wednesday to mess around.
Speaker 1: What is she on Facebook?
Speaker 7: She found out for my sister and I didn't know
until I got off stage right, and then uh, and
Jemma goes, did you see Denise. I'm like, Denise was here.
Why don't you tell me Denise was here? I would
have gave her like the Queen's treatment, you know what
I mean? And then uh, she said no, she didn't
want to bother you. She didn't want you to be
stressed out. But she came and she brought three of
her friends.
Speaker 1: She knows how to bring her shows work.
Speaker 7: So then so now I'm thinking maybe she like cause
it's you've seen the ice house. It's tiny. You can
see the back of the room. And I know I
know Denise, So I'm like, I go, general, she probably
didn't come. She's just being really nice and I'm pretty dirty,
so she probably walked out. And that's why she didn't
want to say hi, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like she she's.
Speaker 2: She quoted all my stuff, my god, wow, and was dying.
And then then our free our friendship became even stronger
because I thought she was, you know, a different, you know,
different lady. And then then then I realized that she
loved that kind of humor. And now you got to
hear how we talked. It's so great. That's funny. She
collects money for nuns. That's right. So you think you
gotta have her on the show.
Speaker 7: She's so funny, she curses, she's so funny, crazy, she's
so funny, so goddamn funny.
Speaker 3: And she she lives by herself, by herself, having always
go to our house.
Speaker 1: That's nice, that's so good.
Speaker 7: We go to her house, cleaner, cleaner, kitchen for I'm
going to take her out to dinner this week.

Speaker 2: Well, we got I haven't, I haven't yet.
Speaker 7: She made me egg sandwiches the other day and she
cut them into a little tiny uh. By the way,
she's from England and she goes every year. She leaves
for three months and she says the same thing to me,
this might be my last time.
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying, I love you and you were
the best. Oh my god, I wish.
Speaker 7: I had an English accent. But she always says that,
and then she always comes back that's what it goes.
Speaker 2: And then but but she made me egg salad sandwiches,
and she goes, come out, come to the house and
let's do it in a tea potty. She said that
let's do it in a tea potty. What kind of
sandwiches do you like?
Speaker 7: And I go, well, little Joe wants a peanut butter
and jelly and just make excel.
Speaker 2: I was just trying to think of easy things. And
then we get there. We get there and she has
the tea set up that you see in cartoons. She
actually had that with the tea in it, with the
squares of sugar with the little tongs, and then and
then she had like this little tray with three plates
and all of them had like triangle squares of sandwiches.
And then she goes, I had to hold one of
my friends because I don't know what an egg salad
sandwich was really, and they had to tell me what
egg salad was, and I saw stupid And it was
the best time we ever had.
Speaker 1: That's so sweet.

Speaker 2: Did my ass all the way up until last year.
Speaker 7: Everything that I've done, I did on my own.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 7: Netflix, They didn't give me Netflix. They said no to me.
You know how many times they said no to me,
Like three or four times they said no to me
in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, and I was like, dude,
I need to get this special up, like my son's
getting older. I'm sorry if I keep running my nose,
I wash my hands later. But I was like, you know,
you're saying no to me, and I didn't understand it.
Like I knew that this special needed to be shot
and it needs to be on Netflix.
Speaker 2: It can't be on any other network. It has to
be on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I get them to say yes.
Speaker 7: I paid for it myself. I shot it myself with
no one saying shoot it. They said no. They even
told me twenty seventeen is done, Our roster's done. Will
look at you twenty seventeen for twenty eighteen nineteen. That's
what they said to me. And really, yes, and that
was in two thousand, late twenty fifteen, early twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: What are they so busy running? Like Netflix?
Speaker 2: It was at it? But see there, But see this
is how you can look at it. You can look
at it two ways.
Speaker 7: You can look at it that way and go, why
are you so busy your Netflix? Or you can look
at it this way where you go, hey, they aren't
Netflix and everyone is on that network. And yeah, they
did sign a ton of talent like Chris Rock and
Amy Schore and Chappelle and no, that was the year
that they signed all those people to Our Specials and
I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Be on that year, right, I wanted to be on
that year. They were making an announcement about this big
Our Special push that they were going to do a
don of them, and.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in that room.
Speaker 4: It's not like NBC is going are we literally our
lineup is full, there's only twenty four hours a day.
I'm saying Netflix could add it to their right, but I.
Speaker 2: Know you could. But like I said, you could look
at it both ways.
Speaker 1: What had they so you had to go out and
shoot at your site.
Speaker 2: I looked at it the other way. I looked at it.
I looked at it this way.
Speaker 7: If you're you know, there's guys that go, okay, yeah,
you're right, I'll talk to you next year. You can
be that guy. But but you know what happens is
it just everything just keeps getting.
Speaker 2: Pushed back in peak because there's no drive to push forward.
You're just in neutral, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7: Yes, Or you can be the other guy where you're like,
oh you you can't get it, you can't afford to
pay for it, or you don't have room for me. Well,
let me show you why you should have this. And
if you don't get it, I promise you someone else will.
Like that was my mentality. I knew, like if I
didn't get on Netflix, and you know what, Showtime will
get it. If Showtime doesn't get it, I'll get it
to HBO. If Hbo doesn't want it, I'll get it
to Comedy Center. If they don't want I'll get it
on Hulu. I'll get it on Amazon. I'll sell it
out of my car because I've done it.
Speaker 1: Before, like Blue Blockers, I did it now.
Speaker 7: I did though I used to burn my own DVDs
on iMovie, and I used to sell them.
Speaker 2: At the end of shows. I used to hand those out,
and then it got to the point where I was
just getting away for free because I just want people to.
Speaker 6: Go home with something tangible. Yeah you know what I mean. Yeah,
So I made that. I shot it myself. Shows to
meet and greet.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we got to get you on meet and greet. Yeah,
I'll tell you about that. Yeah, I will tell you
about it after this.
Speaker 2: I don't like it, but anyways, that's special. I shot it.
Speaker 7: I sat in the editing bay and we and we
brought it to a lot of networks and then we
got it to Netflix and when they saw it, they
were like, we want it, and.
Speaker 2: They bought it.
Speaker 7: See and they put it on two thousand, exactly the
year I wanted, which was the twenty seventeen year.
Speaker 2: And that changed my life and changed my life.
Speaker 1: That's Joe Croy Life from Seattle.
Speaker 2: That's life from Seattle.
Speaker 1: It's great, mind you everything.
Speaker 2: I fund everything.
Speaker 7: I funded director, the stage of the set, the lighting guy, everything, theater.
Speaker 2: We rented the theater.
Speaker 7: I I buught those tickets, everything that I sold that night,
everything everything.
Speaker 4: Amazing, Joe, Where do you get this? Like the drive?
I mean, I get that from my mom.
Speaker 7: I saw a roll of egg rolls and someone for
twenty bucks a bag.
Speaker 2: So I saw that hustle, you know what I mean directly,
I saw that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, It's like, okay, I'm not getting child support, Well
how can I make money?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So I'm a Hustlelynette is such a hustler.
Speaker 1: I respect Lynett's hustle. I love any vice vice versa.
Speaker 4: Lannette is like Lynette and I have a lot in
common that I think we have with you too, is
just growing up, like without some stuff we I always
feel like I'm never going to feel like that again,
Like I'm never going to be in a situation where
i can't just like if I remember feeling even as
a like a moving out here on my own and
feeling like, oh, I can't just buy a CD, like
when an artist comes out with a new CD and
I really wanted there and it was like, oh, it's
like fifteen dollars or whatever it was back there and
that or rent like I don't ever, I was like,
I will never go back there. I will work my
asss whatever I need to do. I'm not too good
for anything, you know. I mean, I waited tables for
a lot of years. I put up with a lot
of shit, and like I've always said, I won't go
back to waiting tables. But I'm saying like a hustle
in the way of like, I want to work hard
to make things. I don't expect people to hand me
stuff like there's a way to make some extra point,
I'll do it.
Speaker 2: Let's do it right right.
Speaker 3: And you, I mean, you have that mentality and that's
