Two Guys From Queens
The Two Guys From Queens Podcast features hosts Tommy Gucciardo and Dwight Gillespie. They’re two middle-aged guys from Queens who’ve been through divorces, incarcerations, drug addiction, death of children, familial suicide, and a host of other fun experiences. They’ve come out the other side to tell you what it was like and how they survived it. They do this with self-deprecating humor, wit, insight, and brutal honesty. Tune in to listen to two regular guys talk about all the “we’re gonna laugh about this one day,” moments of their lives as they do just that.
There is always that one person who will be negative with you in everything. Try venturing into any business project, and they will lecture you for two hours about why the project will never succeed, or it’s too risky, or it’s not profitable at all. Sadly enough, these people rarely take risks themselves. They have never been in such a situation where they had first-hand experience. It could be hard to spot such people because they may be your family, spouse, closest friend, or spiritual mentor. They camouflage as “angels of light” while withering into a pile of ashes with jealousy. Today’s episode aims to equip you with ways to cope and successfully navigate negative people in your life.
Join the conversation with your host Tommy and Dwight on another episode of The Two guys from Queen’s Podcast. Today’s episode is meant to enlighten you about the presence of jealous and negative people in your life. You will also learn how to live with them and achieve the wildest dreams without letting them dictate your decisions.

Hello and welcome to The Two Guys From Queens Podcast that features your hosts Tommy Gucciardo and Dwight Gillespie. They’re two middle-aged guys from Queens who took a lifetime to figure out that doing the wrong things doesn’t lead to happiness. They did it the hard way, but despite all that, they never lost their New York sense of humor.
Tommy and Dwight have been through divorces, incarcerations, drug addiction, loss of their loved ones, and a host of other experiences. Their turning point came when they accepted, they needed help and sought it. Seeking help is not a weakness; it will change your life as it turned their lives around. They’ve come out to the other side to tell you what it was like and how they survived it. They do this with self-deprecating honesty, insight, and the sense of humor that you like. Tune in to listen to two regular guys talk about how they let their ego down to listen to the people around them, to seek help, and live their best life every day.
