Starting point is 00:02:37 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
Starting point is 00:03:13 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
Starting point is 00:03:46 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
Starting point is 00:04:22 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
Starting point is 00:05:03 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
Starting point is 00:05:39 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
Starting point is 00:06:16 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

Starting point is 00:37:42 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
Starting point is 00:38:26 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
Starting point is 00:39:08 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
Starting point is 00:39:41 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
