6:16
Speaker 3: her in person. We spoke on the text on the phone.
6:18
Speaker 3: She walked straight up to me. I wish the mask
6:21
Speaker 3: could cover my face because I was so embarrassed. I
6:23
Speaker 3: was like so scared because I'm looking at her, going,

6:49
Speaker 2: like talking, was it like a marathon of ten hours
6:53
Speaker 2: or like it was like six hours.
6:55
Speaker 3: We couldn't get away from each other. And that's when
6:57
Speaker 3: we knew it was like it was important that we
7:00
Speaker 3: kept that going.
7:10
Speaker 2: I understand you have two kids, and how was it
7:15
Speaker 2: bringing the family or merging the family together? Your kids
7:20
Speaker 2: are kids? How was that transition?
7:23
Speaker 3: It was very It was actually really simple, and it

8:42
Speaker 3: Yeah?
8:43
Speaker 1: Is it weird?
8:45
Speaker 3: It was at first a million percent. And I would
8:48
Speaker 3: tell people if they were going to think about doing this,
8:50
Speaker 3: and they put up the red flies and go, this
8:51
Speaker 3: is weird. It is, yeah, because everything is different, right,
8:55
Speaker 3: so every every situation is different. Just try it and
8:57
Speaker 3: see what happens. Yeah, it doesn't have to work. My
9:00
Speaker 3: mind did. And I was the one guy that said
9:02
Speaker 3: it would never work.
9:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, in my experience, it didn't work. It was. It
9:06
Speaker 1: was a horrific experience.
9:08
Speaker 2: And you know, the guy tried to do everything he
9:10
Speaker 2: could to get back at Tamra, including alienating the kids.
9:13
Speaker 2: And it's just a terrible situation. So mad respect for you,
9:17
Speaker 2: and I love Frank.
9:19

9:35
Speaker 3: Like I do? Yeah? It was it was so so.
9:38
Speaker 3: You know, Frank, in his uh childish way, is you know,
9:43
Speaker 3: kind of christened me buzz light Year, which which you know,
9:46
Speaker 3: I kind of see it like I'm a superhero. That's
9:48
Speaker 3: a pretty big deal.
9:49
Speaker 2: You know.
9:49
Speaker 3: It's good to infinity of right, you know. And it
9:53
Speaker 3: took me a while, you know, I mowed over and
9:55
Speaker 3: being irish, like I want to be sarcastic, but I
9:58
Speaker 3: got to go deep on this one. I mister potato head.
10:01
Speaker 3: I just figured it was it was arms off because
10:06
Speaker 3: his arms are falling off, because he's like, you know,
10:08
Speaker 3: literally falling off about this dage because he's yeah, but no, no,
10:12
Speaker 3: it's it's a good thing. It's funny, potato farm.
10:20
Speaker 1: You bought him a home.
10:21
Speaker 3: I bought him a home.
10:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, Frank, if you're listening, you got a home.
10:26
Speaker 3: You gotta hold he with. You got a friend, and.
10:32
Speaker 1: I love it all right.
10:34
Speaker 2: The Lows has been on the show for ten years.
10:37
Speaker 2: When you met her, you just said you didn't know
10:39
Speaker 2: she was on reality TV? Had you ever seen the
10:45
Speaker 2: show before you met her? Had you were you familiar
10:47
Speaker 2: with it?
10:48
Speaker 3: I was so I used to see the show on
10:51
Speaker 3: in the house as my ex wife used to watch.
10:54
Speaker 3: It would have been Caroline Manzow and Trees of Judice,
10:56
Speaker 3: that whole table torrenting.
10:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was it.
10:59
Speaker 3: That That's all I knew was the show. And I
11:02
Speaker 3: honestly I was the one guy who was like like,
11:04
Speaker 3: what what is this?
11:05
Speaker 2: What is this?
11:06
Speaker 3: Because I was like a tree second viewer. Yeah, obviously,
11:10
Speaker 3: so you don't get it. And then when you meet
11:12
Speaker 3: the characters and the people and you see them and
11:14
Speaker 3: you go, these are actually real people, These are real
11:16
Speaker 3: stories like yourself, Talma and wherever else, you're like, whoa,
11:20
Speaker 3: these are just normal people. Yeah, they're sharing the life
11:23
Speaker 3: with you. Like it's pretty cool. It is.
11:26
Speaker 2: And that's the side that it's hard to really see
11:30
Speaker 2: for me because there's so much toxicity involved.
11:34
Speaker 1: Preceding that or post that.
11:36
Speaker 2: Right. You know, there's such good moments that we experience
11:39
Speaker 2: on the show, and then there's just these terrible moments
11:42
Speaker 2: like I don't I don't want to be a part
11:43
Speaker 2: of this anymore.
11:44
Speaker 1: Right, have you experienced anything like that? We're like, I
11:48
Speaker 1: just don't want to be a part of this.
11:50
Speaker 3: I did I did? You know, being from art and
11:53
Speaker 3: I've got pretty tick skined. So you can tell me
11:55
Speaker 3: what you want, say what you want to bout me,
11:56
Speaker 3: call me whatever. I really don't care. Well when you
11:59
Speaker 3: sold and so Dolores to me, that's like that's below
12:03
Speaker 3: the belt. And I see these people that they do that.
12:08
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel bad for them because you know,
12:10
Speaker 3: I know what I'm doing it right, because it's just
12:11
Speaker 3: their only way to vent And I get that. But
12:14
Speaker 3: at the same time, it's like it's it's kind of
12:17
Speaker 3: like this person's giving you everything to say everything to
12:20
Speaker 3: look at them, right, you look at this person. They're
12:22
Speaker 3: giving you the life. You can have an opinion on
12:24
Speaker 3: it because they're public people whatever, but like be nice, yeah,
12:29
Speaker 3: just be nice. That's it. Be considered. They're pulling the
12:32
Speaker 3: life out there for you. You know, there is some
12:34
Speaker 3: benefits to it for them, but they're still doing it,
12:36
Speaker 3: you know. You know.
12:37
Speaker 1: One of the hardest times I experienced on the show is.
12:42
Speaker 2: I understood at a moment that this is supposed to happen,
12:46
Speaker 2: The drama has to happen in order for the show
12:48
Speaker 2: to course, right, But when I'm sitting across the table
12:52
Speaker 2: and some douchebag dude is attacking my wife, I had
12:56
Speaker 2: to make a decision. Do I want to get into
12:59
Speaker 2: this because we are producing a show, or do I
13:03
Speaker 2: want to let my wife handle this situation because she's
13:06
Speaker 2: way more experienced than I am, right right, right right.
13:09
Speaker 2: And I ended up letting her experience, or you know,
13:13
Speaker 2: her knowledge and ability to handle herself manage the situation.
13:16
Speaker 1: And it was perfect correct.
13:18
Speaker 2: But the backlash was on social media, like, oh, you're
13:21
Speaker 2: a douchebag. You don't protect your wife, you know, you
13:23
Speaker 2: don't stand up for her. I'm like, it's a TV show.
13:28
Speaker 3: Exactly, and it's called a Housewife, not the household Wife show.
13:35
Speaker 1: Making that point, how involved are you in it?
13:39
Speaker 3: I'm just an accessory, okay, I'm I'm like a glorified
13:43
Speaker 3: uber driver. I go with the Laura's Roachie goes and
13:46
Speaker 3: I have fun. Man, That's that's what I do. I like,
13:49
Speaker 3: I like being there with her and like going through it.
13:52
Speaker 3: But I'm an accessory.
13:54
Speaker 1: I actually have a similar story.
13:57
Speaker 2: Went to the Mark and Kelly show and it was
14:00
Speaker 2: a very revealiant moment where she was actually being interviewed
14:04
Speaker 2: by the couple and I was in the audience and
14:07
Speaker 2: I'm walking through the audience, sitting and trying to find
14:09
Speaker 2: my seat, and they're you know, they're very nice, you know,
14:12
Speaker 2: waving at me, saying hello, and they're like, you're not
14:16
Speaker 2: going up there, No, no, no, this is this is
14:18
Speaker 2: about my wife, not about me.
14:20
Speaker 1: And I said, I'm just an extra, you know.
14:23
Speaker 2: And another lady that was sitting on the seat says, no,
14:26
Speaker 2: you're not, honey, You're a seat filler, seat filler.
14:32
Speaker 3: I'm okay with it, You're okay with that.
14:33
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a housewife.
14:35
Speaker 3: And I think most of the husbands are okay with that.
14:39
Speaker 3: People perceive it differently.
14:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
14:41
Speaker 2: There's one exception though, in all the entire franchises is
14:45
Speaker 2: the New Jersey guys.
14:46
Speaker 1: You know them very well. They get more involved in
14:51
Speaker 1: the housewife world, right. But the way I see it is.
14:57
Speaker 2: The dynamic is that you guys have such good relationstionships
15:00
Speaker 2: with each other. My understanding is that Joe and Joe
15:03
Speaker 2: and Joe, they've all known each other. They know they
15:10
Speaker 2: known each other for so long, right that there's a relationship,
15:14
Speaker 2: there's a history there, so they could have fun with it.
15:18
Speaker 2: Unlike maybe my franchise or I'm just I don't know
15:21
Speaker 2: these guys. For Adam, I don't have a lot in
15:24
Speaker 2: common with them. There's very few guys that I actually
15:27
Speaker 2: can have a conversation with Terry Dubro, Shane and uh
15:31
Speaker 2: and even David. You know, there's just very few guys
15:33
Speaker 2: that I can talk to. But the guys that just
15:36
Speaker 2: want to participate on the show and want to be
15:38
Speaker 2: a housewife, I just can't have any respect for them.
15:40
Speaker 3: There's no respect for them. There is no they they
15:44
Speaker 3: they you can see right through them every time. Yeah.
15:48
Speaker 2: So what's the best thing that's come out of the
15:50
Speaker 2: housewife experience for you? Is it has it helped your relationship?
15:53
Speaker 2: Has it affected your relationship?
15:57
Speaker 1: You know, I don't.
15:59
Speaker 3: I don't think it would help or affect because I
16:01
Speaker 3: didn't know her from anything else. So for me, it's
16:04
Speaker 3: just like, this is who she is. She's on a
16:06
Speaker 3: housewife show, and that's all I know. I don't know
16:09
Speaker 3: the lare is not to be on a housewife show,
16:11
Speaker 3: so I can't say pros or cons. I appreciate the
16:14
Speaker 3: people that like tell me how much they love for
16:17
Speaker 3: her and how much she's like help them to like
16:20
Speaker 3: hear these people come up and say, you know, they're
16:22
Speaker 3: having difficult times in life and she really helped them
16:24
Speaker 3: through that part. That's affected me in a really positive
16:28
Speaker 3: way that anything negative doesn't really doesn't cloud that because
16:32
Speaker 3: I know how much good stuff that comes from every
16:35
Speaker 3: individual on these shows that they do for people, Like
16:38
Speaker 3: they help people all over the place without even speaking
16:41
Speaker 3: them direct So to me, I see that positivity and
16:44
Speaker 3: I just don't let the negativity shine on it. I
16:45
Speaker 3: just don't.
16:46
Speaker 1: That's a good way to look at it.
16:48
Speaker 2: I like that. Yeah, yeah, And you know, one of
16:51
Speaker 2: the things that I understand about being on TV is
16:55
Speaker 2: that you're going to have the good and bad with it.
16:57
Speaker 2: You're going to have people that are just they're going
16:59
Speaker 2: to say your eyes aren't blue enough, your hair is
17:01
Speaker 2: not long enough, it's not brown.
17:03
Speaker 1: If you're two, it's great.
17:06
Speaker 2: I mean well, tell me what's the worst thing that
17:08
Speaker 2: somebody has said about you?
17:09
Speaker 3: I'm not nice?
17:12
Speaker 1: That's nothing.
17:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, what are you talking about? I love that?
17:18
Speaker 1: I love that. Okay, do you have any questions for
17:21
Speaker 1: me or anything you want to share about you know?
17:24
Speaker 1: How do you?
17:24
Speaker 3: How do you? What do you feel about how everything's
17:27
Speaker 3: going in the franchise at the moment? Do you think, like,
17:31
Speaker 3: what rop Bravo we're doing? Where it rot?
17:33
Speaker 2: Like?
17:33
Speaker 3: How what do you when you look at the whole
17:34
Speaker 3: spectrum of things like and you look at it from
17:36
Speaker 3: an aerial view from being involved so long? I'm onney
17:39
Speaker 3: a newbie. Yeah, what do you think of what's going on? Like?
17:41
Speaker 2: What's Honestly, I don't know because from the beginning, Tarma
17:46
Speaker 2: used to say this, this is probably going to end
17:48
Speaker 2: in the next two to three years. And we are
17:50
Speaker 2: fifteen years into it, right, so you see a lot.
17:53
Speaker 2: I truly don't believe it's ever going to end. We're
17:56
Speaker 2: coming up on twenty years and it's remark arkable that
18:01
Speaker 2: it's lasted this long. But it's also my opinion that
18:06
Speaker 2: it's because of the way they are able to create
18:10
Speaker 2: drama out of nothing, you know, just take the littlest
18:15
Speaker 2: things and make it entertaining. And the most common denominator
18:20
Speaker 2: of the most common comment I hear out there from
18:23
Speaker 2: professionals like lawyers, even doctors, or fronmen or just regular housewives.
18:30
Speaker 1: It's their guilty pleasure.
18:32
Speaker 2: It is, and I don't understand that. I just don't well.
18:36
Speaker 2: A lot of it has to do with that I
18:37
Speaker 2: don't watch the show, you know, I just it's not
18:40
Speaker 2: my thing. But how this can be converted into entertainment
18:46
Speaker 2: is brilliant, and they've done a great job making such
18:50
Speaker 2: a successful franchise last this long. I mean, I just
18:53
Speaker 2: read an article recently that the Desperate Housewives of that's
18:58
Speaker 2: the show I was familiar with. I know when my
19:04
Speaker 2: buddy told me that he was bringing the Housewives to
19:08
Speaker 2: film at our house because I had just moved into
19:10
Speaker 2: this house and they were looking for a house to
19:11
Speaker 2: film at. I said, Mikasasukasa, and he says, you know,
19:15
Speaker 2: we're filming the real house size of Orange County. I said,
19:17
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you're going to bring Eva Longoria to
19:20
Speaker 2: my house.
19:21
Speaker 1: He's like, no bro Rock show. So I'll never forget
19:24
Speaker 1: that story.
19:25
Speaker 2: But it's it is remarkable that they've done so well
19:29
Speaker 2: and created such a great entertainment venue for people to watch.
19:33
Speaker 2: And you know, I look at it as a very
19:37
Speaker 2: toxic experience, but it's been such an awesome experience to
19:43
Speaker 2: navigate through it, right. And the biggest suggestion or advice
19:47
Speaker 2: I would give the guys.
19:48
Speaker 1: And it's like, it's a number. Don't get involved. You
19:53
Speaker 1: just don't you already don't get involved?
19:54
Speaker 2: You know. It's it's it's it's the guys that get involved,
19:57
Speaker 2: and you know, and the guys that have not a
20:00
Speaker 2: skeleton in the closet but a con cemetery there like
20:04
Speaker 2: these things.
20:05
Speaker 3: Have you haul trucks pulling up at the stage?
20:06
Speaker 1: Did you not know this is gonna come out?
20:10
Speaker 2: You know? Hell?
20:12
Speaker 1: So you know I am not the perfect guy, but
20:14
Speaker 1: I don't have a skeleton like that, and.
20:16
Speaker 3: No guy is. No guy is the perfect guy. But
20:18
Speaker 3: there's a limit.
20:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I would you say you enjoyed the
20:25
Speaker 1: filming life so far?
20:27
Speaker 3: I've loved it. Yeah I have.
20:29
Speaker 1: Do you get recognized everywhere you go yet?
20:32
Speaker 2: I do?
20:32
Speaker 3: That's Lauris's boyfriends. I do get a lot of that. Yeah, yeah,
20:35
Speaker 3: that's Paulieuh yeah, yeah, no, I do. And I appreciate it.
20:40
Speaker 3: Something I'd like to add there is that when I
20:42
Speaker 3: hear these these women come up, we go to these events,
20:44
Speaker 3: we do these these these shows with Dolores, and these
20:48
Speaker 3: women come and they go like, you know, I'm in remission,
20:50
Speaker 3: had cancer. You got me through my chemo. Like I
20:54
Speaker 3: listen to these stories that these people tell this woman
20:56
Speaker 3: and I gotta say this, like, I'm like mothers and
20:59
Speaker 3: daughters when they say, our relationship is better because we
21:02
Speaker 3: believe than what you said the Lores and you got
21:03
Speaker 3: us true this point and it goes for every Housewives.
21:06
Speaker 3: It's like the franchise doesn't understand that while they're you know,
21:10
Speaker 3: what they're doing is one thing and what people see
21:12
Speaker 3: is something else. But what it's doing in the background
21:14
Speaker 3: that nobody has a clue about is really what's important.
21:17
Speaker 3: And these women, these mothers, these daughters, these people going
21:20
Speaker 3: through these these hard times like depending on these shows
21:25
Speaker 3: because it is their outlet and they connect with these
21:28
Speaker 3: women so like and I read these emails that come in,
21:30
Speaker 3: it's like that's what gets me to support the Lows
21:34
Speaker 3: even more, to be like, don't give up, you know,
21:37
Speaker 3: because because everybody has a high and low in these situations.
21:40
Speaker 3: Just stay true to it because this is the benefit
21:42
Speaker 3: to it. The negative is not strong enough to take
21:44
Speaker 3: down that benefit of what these people are going through,
21:46
Speaker 3: what they're successful for.
21:47
Speaker 2: You know, you know what I think that is only
21:50
Speaker 2: it's the realism. You know, one thing I've discovered about
21:55
Speaker 2: my wife compared to the other housewives, and not all
21:58
Speaker 2: other housewives, but most housewives create a fake storyliner, a
22:05
Speaker 2: fake soon. Right, my wife is as real as it
22:09
Speaker 2: can be. She puts it out there.
22:11
Speaker 1: I can see that.
22:11
Speaker 2: And Dolores, she's just as real as she can be.
22:14
Speaker 2: And that shows through the camera and the viewers. They
22:18
Speaker 2: really appreciate when you are who you say you are,
22:21
Speaker 2: not who you're trying to fake and on TV right,
22:24
Speaker 2: just be yourself.
22:25
Speaker 1: Just be yourself. That's our message for our podcast.
