up here you know yelling at some of my accolades great to be here with you guys
man it's all true my friend you know how much we love you all those
accomplishments Paul it's unbelievable we have to find out are you garbage I
don't think so man I've yeah I've traveled with mr. Versey you know we've
done a lot of shows together the guy is all class through and through yeah but
you know what Kev that's now I was that's that's what I think I think he might
have been you might have had some garbage tendencies growing up you know I
mean you're from you're from Jersey right you know from I'm from New York I'm
from actually born in Yonkers I'm a Westchester guy got a lot of people think
I'm from Jersey because I always shit on it so since I always shit on it Bill
Burr that's yeah called me the pride of Trenton so now everywhere I go people
like Jersey and I'm like no dude it's because I hate it there yeah I'm a
New Yorker man which we found out a lot especially like the white suburbs outside
of a city there's a lot of trashy characteristics in those families like
we're both from outside Philly and there's a lot of trashy tendencies that
you know when somebody in the family me gets a couple of bucks and they move
out to like Westchester or somewhere or Long Island or something they don't
shake the trashiness I'm saying this you are what you are yeah dude it's there
it's there you can I think Versey can try to hide it with the Lexuses and the
big house out in Westchester and the cats and the dogs but I think he's got a
little stank on him I think I disagree I Paul has always come across to me he
looks like a guy to me that irons is underwear like everything's tight the
sneakers are always fresh nice t-shirt nice watch on that's fucking classy
nice pair of jeans and I know his situation now his wife and his kids
that's a that's a tightly runned organization out there yeah and and for
as much as you know what that's actually a really good that's really a good like
way to look at it but my wife is totally the general yeah I understand that
trickles down a little bit like yes I do like a clean pair of kicks yes I do like
but my wife you want to talk about a tight ship and you guys will you guys
will meet her I want you guys to come up here whenever this madness is over but
like matter not fuck around yeah you met her you met her at dog I met her a couple
times yeah yeah yeah but when you see her in her element like when you watch her
like discipline the kids but also like like host a party it's like Jordan in
96 like Jordan 96 like just killing that the jazz like that's her yeah see but I
think that counts I think I think that elevates you 100% elevate you in a
certain way and it takes you out of the garbage that is and also the vibe I get
from you and talking to you is your mom ran a tight ship didn't you you grew up
living with your mom and your parents are divorced correct yeah parents got
divorced when I was five my brother was 10 my mother remarried you know and my
stepfather's been in my life basically since I'm whatever like five six years
old and yeah I mean my mom and I always had a cool always had a cool
relationship my mom but I got the vibe that you learned a lot from her and that
you you're the way you are because of her and that she wrote she ran a tight
ship growing up I don't you know what I don't just be in my head this could be
the storyline I made in my head about you I also paint her as an amazing cook
is that true well here's the thing yes shoot no she was definitely a good cook
tight ship here's the thing my mom kind of felt bad about the divorce mm-hmm when
I acted up you know when I got arrested or when I was doing the stupid shit that
I was doing with the drinking and the and the partying yeah she like disciplined
me but she more came at me hurt like I'm why is this happening and like she
kind of was like like I didn't get hit like my mom like the only time she hit
me she just lost it and she broke a vacuum over my back Jesus right and it
was all my whole investigation here yeah keep a lid on it will you I'm trying to
get out of this but you know what me and my mom you know really did have to save
your theory me and my mom really did have a have like this kind of special
relationship and bond where whenever I would go through things and here's a
thing about me dude and we'll get into it with your game I did some really fucked
up shit and I did some things that I'm not proud of and I did some things that
if my children did I would be like oh my god but during all of that getting
arrested doing juvenile delinquents shit when I was younger they were like yeah
but he's respectful which is like teachers teachers would be like he's
like the nicest we love him but like he like robbed the cafeteria he's taking
us he's skimming the cafeteria registers but he is shaking everybody's hand on
the way out he's a good fucking guy that mercy
versus fucking Jimmy the jet over here I like yeah like dude I remember one time
there was this dude and I don't want to say names because they listen to this
shit but there was this kid he was bigger bigger than me Italian kid and he
made fun of this girl that I went to school with she had really bad eyesight
she was almost like legally blind and when you're in middle school and the
book is this close people would make fun of you and I remember one time she was
like crying she's like he made fun of me he said this and I called the fucking
kid over and I was like you're not talking for a second I talked to you for
say hey I believe the bully I made him get on all fours and he had to bark like
a dog in front of all the seven craters he doesn't even that is some fucking
guinea shit right there I love it all puts them as espresso but then it was
like so then like what do you say to my parents you're like well wait a minute
he stopped the bullying yeah one hand washes the other what do you want from
me very bronx tail so you're so like when you were younger and you
would hijack like a truck of cigarettes make sure you slip the driver 50 bucks
yeah so I know who I am and then he goes into a diner and blames it on a
black guy I didn't do not even know any of this we try to believe this juvenile
delinquency I'm hearing these words I gotta try to defend this case over here
oh man yeah if you were my if you were my attorney we would be going down full
yeah dude well if only your attorney you're in bad shape for even if it's a
parking ticket version you're fuck you have a cocktail now you drink now right
or no I will have yes I will have a cocktail now and then can I tell you how
classy this guy is we you know we were that's what I'm saying I'm hearing all
this fucking we were in Houston ladies we were in we were in Houston and you
know you go on the road a lot of people like oh let's go to a dive bar a titty
bar something he's got you told me this you wouldn't get the nice dinner would
you guys go Capitol Grill or something like that true locks true yeah true locks
but even before that that was just like that just happened kind of you know
sporadically after the first night he's like let's go he's like he's like looking
up nice wine bars we go to this place we ordered like a $70 cheese and meat
board you know what I mean we got these these tasting red wines and
cabernets and shit I'm like what the fuck is going on here I'm like I can get
used to this shit oh dude we were loving that night he's gonna taste this meat
tell us me right here with that cheese forget about it yeah meanwhile he's just
fucking casing the joint trying to have an alibi for something for all we know
you know what it you know what it is though man like I came up and I stayed
in those shitty condos and I I would like you know make that feature money
which was like and sometimes when you're a new feature they're like yeah we'll
give you a 400 for the weekend but you got to get here so you're eating so bad
and shitty and I always said to myself when I get to a certain point of my
career you know all those beatings I'm gonna try to mend those by doing this
yeah now it's like and listen I got a wife and kids so me and you going with
cigar lounge even though it happened to be an all-black which was the dude which
was the most insane us realizing we were in an all-black club we're like oh okay
it was one of the scariest turned amazing times ever because we decide
because we were at the club we do that we have time for this or yeah so I'm
like dude let's go to a cigar lounge I was like we're in Houston let's go to a
cigar lounge and and Kev is like which I love why why I love working with Kev is
not only is he fucking hilarious but he's kind of like is my speed so I'm like
dude let's go to a cigar lounge we'll get a couple drinks smoke a cigar and he
was yeah so we get in this uber and all of a sudden the guy turns down the block
and he's like yeah it's right there it's not a good block I gotta look like it
looked like it was a little like do you sure we're in the right it looked like
one of the streets from Friday you know I mean I was waiting for a fucking I was
waiting for a big worm to come down the street in the ice cream van I like Paul
he's trying to dance around a little bit it was like it was like in vacation when
they wrote honky lips on it yeah so um we get there and they're like people
outside smoking and you know me and Kevin are the only white people there
which was totally fine but then we go in and we realized not only is this because
a lot of cigar lounges especially in New York City too are definitely like urban
crowd or you know what I mean let's be honest dude black dudes know how to
relax good recliner when they see one daddy okay those leather chairs were
perfect yeah dude they got the game on there they're like let's you know let's
bring our friends we'll have a good time so we go in there but not only is it like
a club it's a member club and then it was like the United Negro Chamber of
Commerce and they had like a wall of fame yeah and there's just all these
headshots and the guy like me and Kevin were like you guys like minded for here
yeah it would do it was like we it was like we broke into the NAACP and we're
like having some awesome who was on that wall who was some throwback the cast of
what's happening up there it was it was so and then they were so nice to us they
were like listen anything you want just go in there like and then like there were
like local politicians coming in and like shaking hands yeah it was wild like
man I'm running for so and so but one of the funniest things ever was and I
don't know if Kevin if you remember this we're sitting in a private room which
was in the humidor remember yeah yeah this guy walks in he goes hey man what's
going on man nice to meet you when he's shaking everybody's hand and he shakes
our hand he goes yeah you know I'm running for town mayor or whatever and
me and Kevin like joking I was like yeah dude we'll we'll tell people man try to
get shows us he's nah I'm gonna win that shit yeah like hey good luck he's like
don't matter I'm gonna win that shit anyway we're like oh yeah he's got a
big cigar it's not that I don't fucking matter dude it was great such a good
time and then we had what do we have quesadilla they had there yeah there was
like an event they're like there's some quesadillas in the corner so like we're
eating old quesadillas and like we're making an eating old quesadillas in the
corner of this and like ever all these blackies are just looking at these two
random white guys in their club eating fucking that was so fucking that was so
fun man I was a night that was a night to remember how nice they treated us and
how great that place was it was they were like I don't know I guess it was like
southern hospitality too we're like you would like go order a drink and we're
so like New York like yeah let me get two beers and you like walk away they
were like oh do you want this do you want that how's your night you would like
you'd have a five minute conversation five minute conversation get a drink I
walked I walked out of the humidor to the bathroom and the bartender yelled over
to me like no man you guys need something you good I was like oh my god
dude yeah it was great I love that southern hospitality they thought we were on
the job yeah yeah I'm not seeing any garbage there that that's very good I'm
surprised about these antics of mr. versus you but let's get into the game
here let's ask a couple of questions we're gonna find out what's what okay
all right all right kippy do you want to kick it off if you want me to pal you
can you can go buddy I want to work backwards a little bit because like I
said I know the household you're in now is run very tight yes that's the image I
get of you and I know you said your wife is is a large component of that but you
know don't say yourself short you you know you you would have to be too otherwise
she's got just one extra kid I just want to work backward because okay you know
you had said something that I don't think is garbage but people might think is
garbage I remember you saying you remember when you said that they left the
pizza out for you on the counter yes yes I'm a bit listen any leftovers it's
like dinner's being made and I'm coming home a couple of hours later I don't want
it put in the fridge I want it left out on the counter that's just because you're
gonna eat it faster you fat fucking idiot well once you want like once you
put pizza in the fridge it's a whole that's you can still capture that
freshness of when the pie was ordered like what do you think I'm gonna open a
door yeah you won't open a door and then a box and then put it in the oven what are
your nuts it's not that it's that it's a it's the process of refrigeration with
things like that made me in deer okay but like I said I want to work back I'm
dragging on here yeah what are you talking about let's get into it with something
Jesus we're talking about pizza let's go ever hired a local clown to perform at
your kid's birthday party
let's cut the serious question yeah serious question I have not dude growing
up there the kid on a kid on my in my neighborhood his mom was the local
clown giggles this is gone over dude and that she would come to the school and
that poor kid got fucking roasted all day I felt bad for him but Jesus Christ
your mom's the clown that's a tough look I just picture him screaming at her
saying can you stop this at all she's juggling and shit
she said they're just pulling the long thing out of her mouth
that's gotta be rude dude that's up there like that's just a shade under
prostitute like if you found out your mother was turning tricks or she's the
local clown there's something about the turning tricks that you respect a little
more there's a little more secrecy to it at least at least not everybody knows you
know what I mean little more authority yeah it was brutal all right what was
your first car my first car was a Ford Festiva the tiny it was a tiny two door
there was a there was an it had no a lady in Florida had to get rid of it
because of air conditioner so it's a tiny two-door mint condition we got it
for 800 bucks when I was 16 oh man that's how the fuck do you you live in
Westchester New York how do you get a car from Florida this lady I guess it's
garbage whatever the answer is it's if you're buying a car fucking 12 states
away some things aren't going that well so no here's what happened my stepfather
drove a UBS he met this lady and he was like wow that Ford is like brand new
conditions she goes yeah I'm going to Florida I can't take it doesn't have an
air conditioner okay then he goes oh well my stepfather and she was like
what's pretty much brand new 800 bucks and the thing was mint that's a good deal
right there my friend my friends you know beat the shit out of me and broke my
balls because it was tiny and small I remember they called it the pimple they
what color was it it was it was like a it was like a maroonish burgundy it's
always tough when you can't pinpoint the exact color of your car they're like
what color you're like well it's kind of like a deal with the book when you can't
just say it's red or tan or blue it's fucking yeah inside that car Paul did
you have a did you have any fuzzy dice hanging or did you have the Italian
horn I was never the only thing I ever hung up in any car would be one of
those like little tree air fresheners okay trashy I say very respectable yeah
I say with all the choices you have at the car wash it's still the fucking best
the best idea to go with the tree I love the tree yeah I was more of the scent in
the car smelling don't get me wrong some of them I would go like the cologne scent
yeah I've done that too like no fuzzy dice balls no disco ball no no nothing
like that would make lights you know the way people do that no lights no dice
nothing like that and no Italian horns nothing like that did you put a did you
put a sound system or speakers or a head unit in that car I had a full fledged I
had a kicker I had a I had a system in my car that was more than my car yeah oh
man that is pure trash right there but see listen I got one for you now I don't
know how you guys on your show by the way your podcast is dope thanks it's just
fun it's just fun riffing about you know because I feel like I'm being
interrogated to find out from a piece of shit I got your fingerprints all over a
hefty bag right now the house at this point society he goes you know you
fucked up right you know but um I got one for you and I want to ask you guys
on your show how would you categorize this are you ready mm-hmm I go to a
casino with two of my buddies okay I'm probably just I'm under 20 at the time
no no I'm sorry yeah I'm 17 at the time go to a casino with my buddies Mohegan
son it was right when three-card poker first came out you guys know you can
play three-card poker right yeah I go with my buddy I end up winning $2,000 on
a hand because I kept getting a flush and my buddy who next to me who was kind
of a gambling degenerate the time goes dude fuck this I'm going 50 on the next
one we keep getting flushes I go I'm with you I put down 50 a straight flush
pays 40 to one so I have so two grand I hid I'll never forget the cards it was
Queen King ace diamonds I'm going to do when he flips it over I think I fucking
want flips it over the whole table goes nuts two grand here's what I do I take
100 of the two grand I give it to my friend for just being next to me during
that moment class act right there I take another one go to my other friend who
was gambling and I say here man you came this is a hundred for you then I take
a hundred and I play roulette and lose it now I have 17 I cashed out and I bought
myself a Toyota Tracelle which lasted me for three years after that so is that
so it's half garbage but then it's half kind of like oh what is that that's I
mean it's pretty trashy to be honest with you I'm the only people that I've
known the truth Toyota Tracelles were not upstanding citizens they used to buy
me beer back in the day that's true I'm gonna give it to you on the Tracelle I
think everything that you said in that story was a hundred percent classy
except for the fact that you knew the cards that what that's maybe the flush
that one year under $10,000 you know about 15 or so years ago well I had an
ace king Jack I put it on a fucking river and look the fuck out I got $600 in
my pocket do you remember the first girl you made out with or the first time
you had sex remember the first time you went to grand at 17 years old that's
true I'll give you that I'll give you that I'll give you I was a big gambler
to I get it I get it when you're 17 and you get 15 bucks you're like you're
like we're going to the movies and McDonald's like I know but there's
nothing good about that story there's no luck and then we went to the Ritz
Carlton it was we went to Mohegan Sun underage you're playing three-card
poker you know when your jerk off buddies went to grand and you buy a used
car like there's no there's no like premier thing about that what you do
with the Fiesta the only thing that would have been worse is if I was like
and then we went to an OTB and we gambled on the ponies for the last four
hours yeah then we went to a cockfight you know really that's so funny dude all

actually the year before the Red Sox wanted but in 03 he hits that I was
hammered at a bar in New York running up to guys that were cheering from Boston
before when they thought they were gonna win talking shit in almost a blackout I
went into a bodega in Manhattan and I literally just started shoving hunks of
sharp provolone and bags of gummy bears down my pants and I just fucking
dude I used to steal cheese and gummy bears that was like my I was like a
cereal sharp provolone and gummy bears thief
cops catch it yeah it's him again such yeah the guy's and sharp provolone the
constipated bandit he left the cash went right for the provolone he hasn't shit

provolone is and I'll let you go this is fun I think I got a good one what what
kind of cause I know your dad is like I mean I don't know your dad but I know
from your you're you know hanging out with him my dad's from my act I know your
dad from your act who is like the most Italian guy it seems you know the
Bronx fucking what kind of cologne does he wear you know what my dad my dad is
not really a cologne guy my dad is a shoes and watch guy if my dad my dad my
dad judges a man on what's on his feet and what's on his wrist that's it like
funny one of the funniest things my dad ever said me and my brother still
laugh about it today he's driving a Mercedes me and my brother in the car
and this grown man this guy just drives by in like a beat-up rusty shitty
Hyundai and my dad just starts shaking his head and he goes you see that voice
he goes a grown man it's disgraceful so we did as as much as my dad is that guy
on stage and sometimes he's a little brash and sometimes he says things that
really upset people he did in some weird way in still like that you got to
kind of be a fucking gentleman in a way sure sure sure yeah you know which is a
good thing man that's fucking great clean sneaks and a nice watch listen we
may steal but you're gonna choose on we may steal yeah we may steal you know
from purveyors of meats and stuff but we will look good while we do it yeah the
cops saw your footprints but those are gonna be some good footprints those
could shoot this is something I always thought was classy some people would
consider a trashy but a lot of my a lot of my Italian friends growing up they
always did this when you were growing up what time did you have dinner on Sunday
it's like doing like two o'clock Sunday was always a little earlier yeah so
it's Sunday you know Sunday would be and growing up Sunday was a visitation day
for my dad so me and my brother would go to my grandmother's and he would have
like a Sunday posse and it would almost be like a late afternoon type thing
right yeah so so Sunday's for me were a little different just because of the
visitation days you know by the court and stuff but we would go to my
grandmother's and have an amazed 100% Sicilian came here from Sicily when she
was 10 years old so the sauce and the meatballs and everything was nuts but
it was usually earlier during the day and then after that stop when it was all of
us at home it would still be probably like five ish would be Sundays yeah and
then I would say weekdays would be somewhere between like now like 6 30 and
7 like the latest yeah I think that's classy an early Sunday dinner supper is
what we used to call it yes that's garb we call it supper yeah I think I think
the later you have dinner that the shittier of you grew up yeah for sure
there was I definitely had some late dinners for sure that's family store like
945 I did I had a couple I definitely had a couple of 915ers in there for
sure that was an eight-year-old kid heating up a lean cuisine 1130 yeah my
nights jerk off this just came up to I doubt did your did you guys leave the
TV on while you ate dinner maybe definitely not on Sunday but at all
now we just now they didn't like you know that's a thing and one thing I'm
trying to instill in my kids is because they'll have the phones out and I'm like
I'm really big on like this is the time where we talk and we're kind of talk
about our day and you know and be together instead of that shit so yeah
that's good for me we just learned fully watched every every meal they had they
would watch TV they had a TV in the kitchen too oh wow yeah that's okay
wow yeah that talk about animal huh these fucking so fully I'm like wait a
minute you're fucking into you know you're just gonna sit in here interrogate
me making your balls over two we're garbage very steak fucking
the South very big dinner to the South very state we were just talking about
that yesterday with the cranberry dessert or the fucking brownie that was
like chewy on the end of brownie was all right corn would always get to the
brownie yeah I didn't mind it I didn't mind it I said how what kind of steak and
dessert can be all cooked at the same temperature and still come out good
they did never my mom put everything once in the oven it all came out all right
yeah how do you think we know what to ask Paul we're fucking trash these are
all all the questions come from our life at some point you know I go on a lot of
podcasts sometimes and I'm just like it's the same shit it's it's let's talk

Looney Tunes tattoos on your body or absolutely not jackets okay absolute
absolutely not that's a hard no for everybody thank you ever have you ever
seen anybody that has one of those I have look that's no good you're not you're
not running for Congress with one of those for sure I knew I knew a guy I
think I'm pretty sure he had the Tasmanian devil dude the Taz was big in
the 90s big because people's thought for some reason because he was like the
rebel mm-hmm and he was like the one who was wild that like that wouldn't be as
weird as having like you know Sylvester yeah but it's still fucking still weird
yeah dude the cat my neighbor you had a wrangler and he loved like growing up he
loved his wrangler I was a kid I was like probably seven or eight and he had on
the back tire yes they had to cover and he had a brush that was like when air
brush just got invented or whatever like airbrush became cool he had Taz on the
fucking on the wheel cover and I thought it was cool looking back I'm like that
dude needed some fucking help for sure yeah my wife loves Marvin the Martian
though she has like ornaments for the that's another big one yeah yeah okay
I got to mention the tree so I go to mention oh yeah here we go mention the
tree since you brought up the Christmas tree Paul do you have any colored lights
in your Christmas tree no oh white lights oh the all white lights no they're not
ah they're not all white there oh shit I'm trying to think I think they're the
I think they're now my wife got weird ones like the teal and purple shit's like
that's okay like like it's like clad like I'm not gonna say classy but they're
not like the typical but we have two trees we have an upside down tree upstairs
sorry two trees is we just that's gotta be an Italian thing are they so the ones
the upside down ones fake the upside down one is so we have this room upstairs
you'll see it it's like a tealish green it's got like it's like the sit down
room that nobody goes in love Christmas Italian Italian take out like Italians
fucking love them some fucking Christmas boy love Italians also love a room that
they decorate to the skies and don't let anybody fucking sit in yeah I had a
Fred growing up again like a white re had to like we used to say you have to dip
your feet holy water to walk in there dude a white were all Italians always had
a white room to all yeah white room with black trim and shit I I love that my
wife is like German and Scandinavian and it was her idea for the upside down
tree just because it's like this it's almost like a decorative piece but it's
it's sick dude like the presents are on the top because it's upside down and it
looks like I see it I don't think I've seen it yeah I'll send you guys a
picture of it but then downstairs we have the typical either cut it down or
have one that was freshly cut and we do all the ornaments the kids put them on
and then and then the lights are I want to say the lights are different color but
not typical I'll find that out for you too you know we're talking about right

garbage yeah do you well like you can do whatever the fuck you want with another
tree as long as you have the proper real American tree right this is American
Christmas baby we're doing it right you can do that so anything out if you have
another tree that's great but do you put tinsel on the tree no oh did tinsel is

in coffee sometimes and cereal sometimes but now I'm lactose intolerance so I
