I've almost been married in real life for 20 years.

So you've had a few quibbles there with the wife every now and then.

You're not as good as...

Sure.

But some of the other wives out there.

There's a little bit of, I mean, like, another couple be able to...

I've had better. I've had better. Good thing your wife doesn't listen to the pot, huh? Did you know it was my wedding anniversary week? I did not know that. I thought that was a little nod. Oh, I did not know. I would have full-fledged you out if I knew that. So we had 20 years? 18. 18. Okay, good for you. Getting close. Way to go, man.

I'm at 15 in a month from now.

I think we're going to make it.

You guys?

Are you going to get to 20?

I hope so.

It seems like it's all going in the right direction. You just went through the move, too. I went through the move. I mean, I've gotten myself in trouble on this podcast before.

Not easy.

Because I am, as I've told my wife, I mean, and I tell everybody, anybody that knows me, I'm very transparent.

I'm very transparent. I'm not smart enough to remember all my bullshit, okay? So I can't bullshit because I'll forget it and then I'll become more of a bullshitter. And I've always told my wife, like, hey, listen, you can have to deal with me sharing things. It's just the way I work and I can't have a filter and

if you want me to continue to be successful and you want to enjoy the finer things in life,

then you've got to let me go. But it has gotten my ass in trouble a few times.

We haven't talked a lot about the years so far. So, I mean, it is that time of the season.

Yeah, yep, yep, that's my wife, Danielle Pooleo, aka Pooley Pooley. We used to call her back in the day. Trouble all right. I'll end it right there. Stanley Cup was awesome last night. I think we got to talk about the sports fans, right? I mean, first of all, Jordan Binnington, that's who we got to talk about. Goalie for the St. Louis Blues. I mean, for me, that's the greatness of, like, basketball, baseball, hockey. You know, one player can outshine a team sometimes, you know, like a hot pitcher in baseball, or you get a, you know, Steph Curry gets hot in the game and you go, oh shit, we're screwed, here we go. And that's what's cool because the first, I don't know, 16 minutes of the game last night, Paul, the Bruins absolutely dominated. And I'm sitting there watching. I'm not a huge hockey fan. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I know. But I just said, wow, I mean, they're taking shots. They got the puck. I mean, St. Louis is real, and this guy is just making save after save. And what does he do?

A great goalie, a great player.

They allow their team to kind of get into the zone or get into the flow of the game, and they kind of caught up, and then it was over, two nothing at the end of the first period. So congratulations to them. It's kind of unbelievable that they'd never won a Stanley Cup. I didn't know that until like 10 days ago. super cool super cool I. And that's really cool. I grew up in the Midwest and we grew up Cubs fans. So any, first of all, hats off to the Midwest. It's fun to see that for someone from that area. But also as a lifelong Cub fan and my dad passed away the year before the Cubs won the World Series. But to see a franchise that has never ever won it in our lifetimes, Right it done, I think it's just fun. It's good for the sport. That's things your dad passed away right before. That would have been cool. I mean, how much did he, you know, Mr. I'm going to catch the foul ball and that, did he like. Steve Bartman. Yeah, Steve Bartman. Thank you. I couldn't think of his name. How personal did that get for your family at the time? He was such a baseball nerd that he was mad at one of the Cubs' middle infielders for not making it out earlier in the inning. He blamed it on him because had he done his job, the whole Bartman thing wouldn't have okay. That's the way it went down in our house.
