There's this life that I knew growing up, and it's.

And, you know, we don't get to choose what our makeup is.

And it's so interesting to me how comedy was just.

I don't know, it just felt like a cellular thing.

You've probably had this experience where I hung out with some Irish comics in Dublin, and

And then we decided to go into town and get a drink.

We hailed a cab, and the cab driver was funnier than any of us.

I know from what I've heard you say before, I know in my family, this is true.

And so I'm sure your family was the same thing.

And really funny stories and people just laughing their asses off around the table eating some of the unhealthiest food that you can imagine.

I keep waiting for the surgeon general to say, you know, ham is fried.

I remember there was an Italian family that lived next door, the Corelli's.

Their mother used to cook, like, while you were out playing football or baseball or street hockey in the street in the summertime, she would come out with homemade pizza or.

My brother ended up marrying an Italian girl.

My brother was like, you know, mom, Mrs. Corelli makes the best.

And she's like, I can make pasta, I can make spaghetti.

And she was lucid right up to the end, but she was Irish cook.

You remember Don Gavin, the comedian from Boston?

He was like, I was eating my mother's food, and

my brother turned to me and said, this tastes like shit.

What I remember very clearly is my mom would say, wanted to make.

She used to make spaghetti with meat sauce, she thought was spaghetti meat sauce.

Basically what it was was many packages of hamburger meat that are fried up in a giant.

And then you put some pasta in there and there was.

I don't even know if there was sauce, but for years.

But I thought that that was spaghetti with meat sauce.

then I'm in New York and I go to an Italian restaurant.

I think I was berating a waiter like, sir, there should be six hamburgers.

There should be at least three pounds of ground beef that's been fried in this.

I mean, basically I thought it was a burger and there's too much flavor.

And also then my brother married an ital.

There was a lot of Italians in the neighborhood.

So you had all these different Puerto Ricans, these different kinds of food, and

every night you're eating stuff that you can't taste.

And then on Fridays when they have fish, it's fish sticks.

I mean, I mean, what, where, where do we live?

And like, you're like, listen, go out the back door on the porch and look across at the porch across the alley.

There's Puerto Rican people eating really good food.
