My packing? Yeah. Yeah. How's that for you? Packing? Yeah. What if you pack so far? What do I, I've been packing all day. Zero. Joe doesn't even know where the suitcases are.

Could you imagine guys, can I just say this to my listeners, can you imagine getting to Europe, right? You're going to Italy for a week. And you have no idea what is in your suitcase. You don't know if your wife packed you a red shirt, a pink shirt, matching pants, shorts, did she pack a bathing suit. You literally don't even look to check because you know she's got it. Like, what is that life like? I would love to know. Like, you don't even, you don't even look in your suit. Really?

I'm happy about it. You don't even, you just miss my white belt this weekend. We were just like, oh, where's a white belt? I can't wear this outfit with a black belt, right? And then I wear no belt. And my pants were phoned down on me. And I kept down held. But not you, you had a really nice outfit on, right? Okay, you need to pack your own shit.

That's the problem. If you want a white belt, pack it. You're 47 years old. Pack your own shit. That's the problem. If you want a white belt, pack it. You're 47 years old. Pack your white belt. You know, listen, hold on. I remember when we first got married in the beginning years. Okay, I don't know. And you would pack my stuff.

I'm going to tell you how I changed. And it's 20 years later. And who's packing you for? Wait, wait, wait. I'm going to tell you guys how things have changed, right? When she packed my stuff and I worked a lot and she did pack my stuff and we would be whatever we would go on vacation. And she would forget something.

She would forget, let's say, my bell, something important. It would be a fight. It would. I'd get mad at her. I'd be mad at her because I would would I was younger and I'm like, oh look at you you you got 18 friggin bags You got 32 pairs of shoes you can't bring my belt, right? Nasty guy you were Really these girls these days laugh at your now, but I'm gonna give an example last week

We were we were we want to to to Lanark City, okay, we're in Lanark City. She forgot she got forgot my belt I Forgot his belt guys just like the white belt the white baby sits my children So I wore a white outfit and I couldn't put a black belt on it didn't look right I needed a white belt. So I walked around I didn't put the belt on so I walked around picking up my pants all night. They look like they're hanging down and you know what I didn't even give her shit. I did I'm a gentleman. That's because you know better and you know this world will tear your ass to pieces and I will Instagram your ass. I will put you on Instagram now. I will call you out

I will call the feminists. I will call everyone and I will say Joe Gorgher is mad at me because his belt is not packed And I will embarrass the shit out of you. No, no, but this what happens would age you get smarter and you just listen That's why good boy, honey. So here's how about this? I cool, I'm chill, I'm very chill. Okay, I'm literally packing Joe for Italy, and I'm talking I'm putting, okay, he needs 10 underwear. He needs 10 socks. He needs a gym shoe.

He needs this outfit matching this. But that's sweet. I don't think that's like, you're not. Is it sweet? I would like to be praised. You're not my slave. It's a, that's's you don't say thank you ever when I pack your whole bag. I never heard that. I tell you thank you every night. Did you see me last night till what time while you were laying in the bed? What time was I going through our

closets to last night? Well, I left that five in the morning, right? And you. I was up by six. No, you weren't. I get up early. You know that. You got about like seven, seven, seven, thirty, four, eight, four hours before you. No, no, six, forty up early you know about like seven seven thirty forty four hours before you no no six forty five All right, whatever six forty five. You get up and nice cup of coffee and you have three cups in your truck You know so but listen the bottom line is you care about me and it's called respect right well If I don't dress you're gonna look like a dodo bird 18 years later This is why we we I respect you to the fullest and I do crazy things You want box woods in your house? You drive me fucking crazy get the box with them

Oh my god the flowers the fucking flower and This is what I deal with but I give you what you want? Okay, but the bottom line is just going back to packing for a moment. You don't pack your own shit And I think there's gotta be a time when you decide you want to pack your own shit Like we guys we will literally get to Italy.

I'll open his suitcase. It'll be night one. I could give it to you because this happens. We've traveled together so much. I could tell you exactly for beta, what he's going to say to me. Like I get in the shower, he gets the shower. Soon as I get out, he's like this.

What a, no, not where is he's like, what am I wearing tonight? What am I wearing? Another way is like, what am I wearing tonight? What am I wearing? Another way is like, what did you pack me and pick it out and what's day one's outfit? Pull it out. And like, could you imagine being the person that like, I pull out his outfit, I'm like, okay, tonight we're going here, you're wearing this shirt with these pants and these shoes. And he's like, okay. And he just gets stressed. And I'm like, you got to give him credit too, because I am so anal and OCD,

I could never just rely on what someone's gonna pull out of the bag when I get to Europe and say, here's your outfit, put it on. Like, he's like, oh, that's what I'm wearing. Okay, like, he just puts it on. Here's what happens. You don't even know if you're gonna like the outfit. Because here's what happens, 18 years ago,

my, you know, how a doll gets neutered my balls got neutered when the day I said I do at that church my balls were neutered right off so if I come out with an outfit I packed myself you know what you would take a jerk I can't what are you wearing go take it off I can't believe you're wearing it So now I just say fuck it.

Is it gonna bring you back to your roots a little bit honey, going to Italy? And make you think you're parents, I bet. Cause you're gonna meet a lot of people who have like your parents, sound like your parents and have your parents accents and like.

That's one thing I regret with my parents. I wish I would have went to Italy with them. When I was older. Right, like with our kids going with them all to Italy. Yeah, that's right. That's where I regret. Yeah, we never did that. You know what it was them all to Italy, you know, that's where I regret. Yeah, we never did that. You know what it was? We were raising, we never had a desire to go before really. Well, it wasn't that when you go to Italy, you really, you know, we're going for a week, but you really spend more time.

We were always just so busy. Our lives were just crazy. I can't imagine like staying anywhere longer than a week for me just seems like. Yeah, it was just hard a lot It's hard right now. I'll be honest. It's very hard right now There's never a good time to leave for a week for us right now because we're in work such like word Yeah, I can't speak work mode like we just it's hard for us to leave any of our projects and I would have never said yes to this You just booked it. Mm-hmm. I'm like, okay. What do you mean you would have never said yes to this. You just booked it. I'm like, okay. What do you mean you would have never said yes? Because you say every year, let's go.

And I'm like, all right. I'm pushing up. I'm saying you. I want to go, but I'm glad you pushed it. You never, you didn't say no. No, I'm glad you pushed it, because I'm doing it now. Yeah, but like you're never gonna have a good year that you feel like you want to go anywhere.

The only time like we really chill on a long vacation with our kids is every Christmas. We go away like the day after Christmas for years, but other than that, you a week for you, you like convulse, especially in the summer. I'm not convulsing because I'm thinking about all the lingerie you're gonna bring bringing. I'm excited. Oh my God. I enjoy you, babe. Well, while we're talking.

I love you. What the hell? You want me to do? I can't help I love you. Well, while we're talking. I love you. I love you. What the hell? You want me to do? I can't help I love you. Okay. You know, it's 18 years later, and you know, man, I want to run. They're like, oh, fuck that.

I ate that. I've eaten at that restaurant 16,000 times. I'm tired of it. Not me. I'm looking what's next. How do we always turn left and talk about sex? I don't talk about sex. Okay. Anyway, you know what, that's awesome.

But let's talk about since for a minute that because you were just talking about your parents, right? So like, let's talk about parents because I heard this on the radio today and I thought it was very interesting. Just discussing like parents aging, right? And how basically we, they take care of us, right? Their whole lives, their taking care of us,

their making sure we're okay, they're paying for us, they're feeding us, they're driving us, right? And then all of a sudden, we're at this age in life where we're trying to get our lives together and we have our kids that now we have to take care of them, we have bills to pay. And it's like the roles reverse and suddenly it's like we're taking care of our parents again. And they need help and they need us and they need our time

or they need our money and whatever if they're scoffer-bed sick or or who's you know it's just it's so crazy how the roles really reverse and your parents call you and start to look at you and start to complain, you know, like right now we're complaining to Antonio, like you're never with us, you're always at a party, we wanna see you, you're gonna leave for college, but like it's then gonna reverse, right? Where everything's different and she's like,

it's just, it's kind of crazy. How she's gonna then take care of us. Yeah, I know. I did it. I did all my parents. You see how much I took care of them. And my dad got sick and hasn't worked, but he didn't work for about 18 years.

It hasn't worked for 18 years, my dad. So I took care of, I did a lot for my parents. And old school values, old school ways, and they got sick early in life. So it was constant going there and helping them, doing everything. And then when they got sick in the hospital, you're constantly in the hospital,

and staying there and spending the time. I mean, I really don't see a lot of other children at my age or whatever with their parents put the time in like We did no we we yes, we really did. I don't know why I don't know if it was the old school value ways or And listen, we spent a lot of time with my mother also. We really do. Yeah, I mean, I feel like we spend a lot of time with our parents We're big on that which hopefully our kids see that. And then they'll spend time with us. But even like, you know what's crazy too?

And like, as your parents get over, what about parents who are, and this was another topic, like splitting up, right? And changing. And when you start to become children who don't agree with everything that your parents are doing or saying, but you have to continue that relationship because there is times where things start to change.

And like, your life, you're trying to get your life together, you're raising your kids, and then all of a sudden your parents are getting older, and they decide they're splitting. And it's like at 70 years old or 65 years old, right when they're hitting that mark of like wow It's just us and then they want to split and then things start changing I mean we we have a family very close to us that this is happening to and it is such a stressful time like you know they have small children

It you know this brother and sister they have small you know small and they're getting married, and one's been married for a while, but now their parents are deciding to separate, and it's like, it's so stressful on the kids too. And it looks like what happens when a couple can go be together for 40 years, turn 68 years old together. And then what do you think it is that they can just say, like, you know what, this is not for me. Like, things.

That's something. And then you got to start all over again or go trying to meet somebody or date at that age. I mean, it just happened to my friend and he's, he's 74. He's been married. He's going toward the divorce. And I would always say to him, you know, I, I think I spoke, I talked about him. I talked about him last podcast. Oh, yes, you did. And he's like living his best life again. And he met a woman at a 70 years old. And she takes him everywhere.

She's showing him the life. And they're in Europe right now for three weeks. And I'm like, oh, I'm so proud of him. I'm like, great. And I know some people, it's great. I don't know what his other half is doing. Right, well here's the thing. It's like sometimes people do just grow apart

and I think as you get older, you start to look at your time as being limited, right? So our parents are now looking at their time, like, including my mother, my mother too, who is in her 70s, right? She's 74, my mom. So they start to want to live, because they're like, I probably only have a good 20 years

left, and some people say, I have 10 years left, some people say, I have 15 years left. You know, a good 20 years, yeah. You figure when you're starting to turn 68 years old, you're thinking yourself, I probably have 20 good years left in me. Let's make them count. So if you stayed married for a long time, for the to, because you had a good person,

but you were never truly in love, right? Or you started to grow apart, or you don't wanna do the same things. Like say one wants to travel now, they're older and they wanna go and the other one's like, well, I don't wanna travel. What do you do? Do you sit there and do you let time pass by

and you miss out on things that you want to do or do you separate? And I think that's a huge question where there's not really fault on anyone's part. It's not someone's fault if they don't want to travel. It's not someone's fault if they do. It's just a time when I think older couples look at each other and they're like, okay, like if this is

It is What if it is there something I don't want to do every single day? Well, I'm here to please you and I know when I'm happy you're not gonna be happy Then you're not gonna be happy. I'm not be I'm not happy. You think I'm happy You make me you make me like plant this plant that build this dude. I think I'm fucking happy. I don't give a shit about No, you're happy. I Drangers and big hedges in this and that and all of you do I'm just saying but I do it to make you happy and I've decided Well, what if you were doing it was making you miserable. It doesn't make you miserable, right? So like certain things might make you miserable. No, you're missing the so-

No, I know that. No, I'm saying like some things I might do might make you miserable, but you have to understand that, hey, I'm in a relationship. I don't like it. I don't wanna go shopping with you, right? But I'll go shopping with you if it pleases you.

I guess. That fucking makes me miserable. I get it. Sit in the store while you're looking at clothes, I wanna blow my brains out. I do, because I'm not into it, I'm sorry. But I'll sit there on a couch, and I'll be like, and you can come out,

you're like, has this look? I'm like, great. I get it, but you're talking about typical husband, wife shit. I'm talking about like major issues where you guys are Where you're really not getting along. Where you really want to do different things You're wrong. Where the where couples are separating. But you're talking about not getting along I'm talking about where nothing you could if anything you did couldn't be right Listen if you want to go to Italy, right? Let's just say and I said no no no and you want to go to another vacation And I said no to Italy without you. No, I know. I'm right. Either that or eventually you're

going to say to yourself, like this guy is boring. He wants to do nothing. I want to live my life. So me on the other hand, if I'm not ready to go to Italy right now, I'm very busy at work. I'm going to say to you, I'm going to say, okay, I'm going to sacrifice and go to Italy because it makes you happy and it keeps me with my relationship tight. It's a two way street in a relationship. You can't just take your way. It's not about you anymore. It's about us, you know. And that's how I think that when you get to a certain age and one person's like I'm done I've been dealing with your ship for 30 something years. Well, that's the kind of that's what I'm discussing I'm not discussing looking at a dress. I'm talking about things like this Well, no, it could be a dress right it could be like you are a

addictive shopper and you want to take me everywhere and you complain that I don't go Okay, and it could be an argument in our relationship and one day 20 years 25 years later you're like, fuck you. I want a shop and I met a guy that wants a shop. Bye. So I'm going to shop. Who knows? Listen, you could meet a guy that one guy he doesn't like to chase sunsets. The other guy does and you're like, I just want to chase sunsets. I can meet a woman that comes in and walks with lingerie in front of me all the time. And I can be like, holy shit, look at this. Yeah, I can see that.

I'm wearing lingerie all the time. I can see that happening for sure. Well, the bottom line is it seems like, as you get older, companionship becomes more and more important. I just think that's inevitable. more and more important. I just think that's inevitable. Okay guys, I have to tell you about Angie. It's your home for everything home

No, well, follow us today. So you get the real story. I think we're great companions for each other though. And we're doing a pretty, a pretty good job. I mean, as we get older, what do you think are gonna be the most important things that we need to do to stay happy and stay together? I think just compromise, man. Listen, make me happy.

I make you happy. Done. That's where I become easy. You could bitch at something that makes me nuts. I'm not even gonna talk about it. I just let you bitch at me or bitch. No, that's not really the answer. It's not answering.

No, but even me, like like if I drive what she does, what bothers me now, I drive. I'm a driver, I might be a little fast, I'm in the other lane. Okay, so let's both say what we both complain about each other the most right now. All right, well, go ahead, you go. You ready? No, we can both say what I complain about

with you the most. One, two, three. What? Driving. Right now, driving, but. It's so bad. it's to the point it's like to the point that I literally don't want to be in the car with him like I don't like I feel like we need to drive separate at all times you can and it's not that I don't want to be in the car with him it's I don't want to be in the car with him if he's

driving he is a terrible driver to the point of like, get your scary. I'm gonna have to say you are terrible. No, you are. I have my shit together, much more under control. If you guys all knew our family and our friends, they'll say Melissa is the worst driver. She's crazy, she drives, but I don't bitch at her. That's the difference.

I don't sit there and act. Every little thing. You can't. The dish. The dish. I just am lighting you, because if I start talking about what would you do bitch? You bitch.

You bitch. That's what I just think there's definitely ways. I bitch, but you bitch too. And you get, you know what, you get, I might bitch, but you get the world handed to you on a platter every single day by like an amazing woman that does it all and like Works and packs your bags and clean your clothes your houses spot as your kids are taking care of you don't know if they're coming or going You know what's going on homework this sign in Tony at for college ordering all her shit

You should lick the fricking ground. I walk and I look good you son of a bitch So you know what that's right. I'm gonna bitch. You cannot have it all. You cannot have it all. So there's that. But I don't know, I just think that we need to support each other. And like, you do find like new pet peeves, I feel like. Which my pet, what about you?

I told you, driving. And now that you have in Visaline, the way you lick your teeth bothers me too. So when we're in Italy, let's referring from doing that. Oh, yeah, you know, you know, bothers me every time I put, I'm, when I, I just got Vizzaline.

In Vizzaline. In Vizzaline. He calls it Vizzaline. Just got in Vizzaline. And I wear them, because I want to get, I want to get them done. So if we're going out to dinner, and she's like, well, leave them home. I'm like, no. Yeah, because this is what he does if we're going out to dinner and she's like well leave them home

I'm like no because this is what he does You're not allowed to eat or drink with them right? So like if we're heading out to dinner and what's a 10 minute dinner far away He puts them in to drive to the 10 minute dinner. We get to dinner when he starts pulling it I'm like, oh my god. Why didn't you just leave them home? So we go to dinner when you come home from dinner you brush your teeth and put them back in it But here's the problem guys. It's none of your business what I do my I have to watch pull them out, but it's not I don't if you were wearing it I wouldn't bother you see that's the difference between a man and a woman if you were wearing your vis line

Invisalign Invisalized you're when you're in vis line I wouldn't break your balls and say take why you taking them out? Why you put them in why you taking them out why you put them in I just let you do you do you? Every little second I do if I want to you know what what happens I have power to drive to dinner The by time we sit down and we get to you order the food. That's another 20 minutes right he counts every hour that you know, but you know He's like the best patient ever. Yeah, the dentist said to me. Wow. You're I saw him yesterday He goes hold my shit.

It's such an opposite time schedule. So like, day here is night there and night there is day here. So Joe communicates on the phone with like work constantly in his buildings and all these things. I know I am gonna wake up in the middle of the night, like 3 a.m. and he is going to be on the phone with his plumbers, with his carpenters, with the elevator guy,

with freaking your attorneys, like I am gonna wake up to Joe City engineers, architects, like you will be on the phone all night long. You know that, right? You've gotta really try to put the phone down. But the great, here's the good thing about that. I'm gonna have the best espresso, because I'm in Italy and I'll be wired. So, barely gonna sleep.

You still need to sleep good. That's all right. I want to get my shoes made. Everyone says you can get your cute little shoes made. Are you excited to go to Italy? Are you gonna talk Italian to the people? Of course. I'm gonna get go.

I'm gonna put that on my Instagram, guys. Every time Joe starts talking to the waiters, you're gonna talk to, yay, byzana. Hey, byzana, come here, yama. Get the way manjaro. They, they, they, they managosa, got a born. E-war yamanja, born. No.

E-war yamanja, now go, say, kid, kid, kid, the b-ach. I wanna say. Do you remember how to speak Italian? I do. Because you don't speak it at home enough. I know, sometimes I get, I get tongue-tied. All right, before we leave, teach me one thing.

Teach me like one thing that I can learn to say when I sit down at a restaurant to the waiter. What can I say? Like tell me how to say hi, good evening. Like hi. How are you? Hi, ciao. Come on, stay.

I want a glass of red wine, a vino. Well, you're no big kid at a vino. Okay, I'll learn. I want to say that. Say it again. Well, you're no big kid at a vino. Okay. Vino.

Vino. How do you remember this when you were a little kid? Yeah, isn't that something? It is pretty crazy because you don't really speak it much. Now you speak Spanish. Yeah, all the contractors of Spanish and the Russian and Polish and I speak a little everything. Are you going to say something romantic to me in Italian?

Doos and adon, troppo bella. You know what I say? You say, doosy, you are bezy, you are Bella, you are a woman. Dooms and Adon, throw up. You are a beautiful woman. You're a woman. It's different how I'm like. I understand a time.

Adon, I bet. Ladon, you're a woman. Yeah, you like that. How about me? What are you going to say about me? Give me a compliment. I'm going to say, a Vista Resarda. Your sister's ass. she just said to me.

I'm gonna say, a vista resor, right? That's a swear word in the time. My father's, Avisha resor, I thought he used to yell at me. And I used to think I was a kid. I'm like, what is he saying? He's saying my sister's ass?

I'm like, why is he yelling about my sisters ass? See, Italian swearing, it was always funny to wait east where it comes out different when you listen to an Italian and if you translate it in English, it's so funny. All right, well, before we head out today with these kind people, tell me the one thing. Wow, we're done already?

The one, yeah, we're good. Tell me the one thing that you think we should do for each other, or not even for each other. I just want to say, what is one of the best things that we can do each to make sure it's a really good trip? I think we should just open our mind. No, really. No. I think this was the stupidest question.

No, it's not a question. No, really. No, I think this was the stupidest question. It's not a question. I mean, I think we should just open our mind and go with the flow with everything and have a good time. Meaning, like, don't, you know, if whatever, if I choose to say, let's go into that little shop, right, and go eat with those Italian people. Then we're gonna do that. With the grandma and grandpa. Oh, Lord. Learn to open up your mind and enjoy that culture. Don't be like, no, no, no, we're not gonna do that.

We gotta go to the high-end restaurant. Yeah, let's go there. Trust me, if you learn and you let's, it'll bring you back to my parents and you'll eat the most all think the food authentic food. And you might be like, wow, that was a nice moment. All right. I'm excited.

Yeah. I'm actually very excited. Do you know, you know, fun fact guys, Joe's been to Italy. I've been to Italy. We've never been to Italy together. So this is the first for us. Mm hmm. You better be able to hang with me because I want to hang.
