      Hey at least they'll both be closer to us! (I'm also in New England)
      But I don't think this means the end though. If Lee's gonna be in Boston & Joey's in North Jersey that's only about 4¼hr drive. To do that once or twice a week isn't impossible.
      Especially after living in Cali for so many years.
      As a fellow New Englander I know that if we have to drive more than 20min anywhere we're gonna bitch about it! Lol
      But once you stay in states like Cali & Texas for example you get used to driving an hour just to go to dinner.
      Hopefully they're just gonna take some time off, get settled & then pick it back up next year.
      (Obviously I'm not accepting that this is the end of The Church! Lol)

    When I first listened to the very 1st podcast of Beauty and the Beast I was a full fledged heroin and benzo addict. When I listened to the first Church show I was just a smack addict. Now 10 years later I'm finally clean and slowly getting my brain and body back. It's a cliche but the thousands and thousands of laughs,tears and deep inner thoughts have truly been the final push for me to get my train back on the tracks. Nothing but love,respect and appreciation to Joey,Lee and the church family. It's time to get what is ours. Thank you ✌🤜🤛🍄😛

    • @MarquisVonMonster
      @MarquisVonMonster 3 года назад

      HeXeD87 I don’t know about Jersey personally. I know he’s was talking about moving about a year ago and how Cali is going insane during this pandemic. The rent isn’t dropping and unemployment is rising apparently. Also Joey says the schools are pretentious and hella expensive too.
      I just left Vegas and a lot of Cali transplants and people were moving to Nevada for cheaper rent.

    • @kimrobinson4521
      @kimrobinson4521 3 года назад

      HeXeD87 Actually yes, in Bergen County where I’m assuming he’s moving, there’s almost no homeless people and very low crime. I was shocked when I went to LA last year, I can’t imagine what it’s like post-covid. He’s making the right choice for his family.

Every time my dumbass catches myself watching RUclips for too long, or watching some NFL game I don't even have money on, I think about what Joey says. I should be doing something else unless someone's handing me an envelope. Hearing how Joey grew up and his childhood friends always put perspective into my life. Hearing him talk about old movies always made me look up those old movies and watch them. Never watched Sopranos until the Church. It's all good, doors close and doors open.

It was always just a couple people shooting straight no bullshit but plenty of bullshit at the same time. Sometimes it was comedy and sometimes it was wisdom but most of the time it was both.

    To finally hit the “end of the church” is unbelievable. This podcast has been here through and when I needed it the most. Without having to say it or even personally know it. Thank you Uncle Joey and Lee!

    Joey and Lee, you two have helped me form my sense of humor, emboldened my character, and taught me lessons that only hard living can teach you. Street wisdom.
    Thank you. I love you guys, and you'll have my undying support no matter what.

    Man. So bittersweet. The Church was such a staple in my life these past years. Helped with difficult times with comedy & heart. Hearing amazing stories with great guests. Hopefully all the episodes will stay online for us to re-listen and enjoy in the future....Joey’s happiness is pinnacle though, he’s earned it. After all this is over I want to take a pilgrimage to Chan’s Dragon Inn.

    This podcast was very captivating and I have always loved lee and uncle joey. Their podcast is something I look forward to because it would help me pass by the monotony of quarantine and make me feel a lot better . I hope that one day the church could get back on its feet again. I hope that all of you Are doing well during these times and wish you the best.
    Sending all of you a big persian hug.

      Your story mirrors mine to a T. Mom died when I was 15. Dad became a drunken beggar. Moved out and never felt better. Life goes on, we will get by!
