When you think about all of our similarities, they are core stuff about how we view life, how we view success, what we want to do with our time, how we wanna invest in others and what’s important to us. A lot of people have different values,” said Rob, whose been married to wife Sheryl Berkoff since 1991.
“I think also too, when you think about the powerful women that are just these forces of nature – I think all of our wives are interesting in the fact that they also don’t want to be with a pushover guy,” Benji responded. “They still need a strong counterpart, but you have to also not have the ego.”
Joel added, “We all respect our wives. They are absolutely our counterparts and we all have a healthy fear of our wives. In the best way. I don’t know if I ever thought someone could keep me. Oh yeah. It’s not that I was a relationship guy, but then I met Nicole and she absolutely runs the show. But we are partners. So there’s aspects that I run, but there’s a whole part of my life that would not work if she wasn’t there running it. And she gave me a way deeper, richer life because of the aspects of my life that she oversees, and vice versa. I think we work together, but she’s strong. I respect her and fear her a little bit.”
“It’s more than just a part of your life,” Benji chimed in. “It’s a whole foundation. Like Cameron, when we met, it was like the world just went like this *right side up.*”
Rob relied, “They’re formidable. You don’t wanna f–k with them. I want no part of running a foul of any of our three wives.”
Benji concluded, “That’s the queen. Go against my wife? Good luck. I don’t even need to get involved.”
Back in January, Benji penned a sweet message to Cameron in honor of their 10th wedding anniversary!
