how did you meet I was doing a show but I talked about how like how Irish girls are my kryptonite I did
00:00:08
there's something about them I don't know they just drives me crazy and you know my wife Michele Eileen McNamara she
00:00:15
could not have been more Irish she could not have been more Irish looking and so
00:00:18
after the show I'm talking to some comedians and she walks by and just like gay she's like hey Irish girls nice and
00:00:26
then kept walking and one of my friends said go out and get her what are you doing and so I ran out where she was
00:00:33
walking away and I say hey look hey but the first word I said to my future wife was hey I shouted it from 30 feet away
00:00:40
which that's mm well romance and then um I said look I don't want to do any like
00:00:46
this is my number give me your number let's go and let me take you on a date or something we very very early on just
00:00:53
enjoyed sitting and talking with each other you know this was someone I could really really talk to and we talked
00:00:59
about true-crime I was into true crime the way that those kind of kind of a lame 20 year old trying to look
00:01:07
interesting is she was into the facts whereas I was into the look how interesting and dangerous Lam so it was
00:01:14
that I'm meeting someone that's calling me on my nonsense and bringing me back down to earth and it was you know it
00:01:21
just it was so exhilarating to encounter someone like that I just saw very early
00:01:27
on she wasn't going to be blown away by big grand romantic gestures it was gonna
00:01:34
be about just be honest and be who you are even if it's awkward I'll take that because I was very insecure and putting
00:01:42
up all these fronts she was one person's like how about what's behind all of that
00:01:46
then it was you know then it was great how did you propose I took her to aquavit in New York and I called the
00:01:54
chef ahead of time and I had him make a like a this really intricate chocolate dessert box that when you open it then
00:02:03
the ring was inside of it that's wonderful and did she immediately say yeah she said yes she was very and I was
00:02:11
it was weird because the day of the day before I got this really horrible stomach flu so the night of the proposal
00:02:18
I'm sitting there just sweating like I look like I look like the cliche of the guy
00:02:23
proposing to the woman he loves cuz I'm just bathed in sweat but it was just that the the stomach flu that I was
00:02:30
fighting and like - please get to the dessert I'm begging you please so the wedding was it was all black and white
00:02:37
but she wore a red dress so she was the only slice of color in this room and then she found these amazing Scottish
00:02:46
wedding vows it was about the realism of going into a marriage it was it was just
00:02:51
it was so beautiful just like oh I this is amazing
