It just keeps on getting better…it writes itself! You just can’t make this shit up!
Jennifer found gold in the auburn hills of Detroit–in a family that, like other [successful] family businesses, could only hold itself together with its wit, humor, and above all, self-deprecating tolerance of each other.
What I keep wondering is, where’s the poor mother of all of these sons…and what did she have to put up with when they were lil’ snakers-in-training?

You nailed it when you talk about what makes the Levines so special. They were meant to be stars!
And it terms of the “poor mother” — that would be Pat, married to Tom. I’ll be showing her soon in an episode featuring Tom Levine. Pat’s awesome. The last time I was there, she would not let me leave for the drive back to New York before brewing me a fresh pot of Dunkin Donuts coffee for my thermos.
