Okay Ralph so here we come.
Oh my gosh.
You look so good.
It's so great to see you.
in the studio.
What do you think of the set?!
Wow, amazing, the place looks fantastic
you both look fantastic.
Are you kidding, you look great.
The set looks fantastic.
The kitchen looks great.
You look like a superstar.
Oh this old thing?
You're such a big part of this family, you
know from All mixed up, hosting that, and
our resident chef and it just feels so good
to have you sitting right here.
Thank you so much,
you know it just means the world to be
here and you know there's been so much
care and concern I just want to say
thank you so much it really means the
world.
And we so appreciate you coming in
and talking about what happened last
summer-- it changed your life.
Yeah you know in an instant I was just
going about my normal day and there was
a malfunction in a fuel delivery, it
ignited, you know it was this real
aggressive explosion and it just blew me
back you know my hair was smoldering--
like I could smell it right-- and then
skin was coming off my arm so it made the process for a
minute right I mean I, I didn't know what had
happened right because I lost you know
the seconds of time what happened you
know and I stood up and you know I had
skin hanging off my arms and my legs and
I was like this is probably not good.
We see you've got sleeves on.
Yes I wear compression sleeves, four skin
I wear compression sleeves, four skin
grafts, four blood transfusions, I had placenta and amniotic
fluid used to prevent the scarring, the
doctors and the science certainly prevail
but the, but the whole world around me
making me feel good I think really means
something.
And, and how did this, this incident
redirect your life and refocus you?
You know my career has always been a
major piece of the function and my job
as a chef you know, I joke around all
the time that you know chefs work two
days to everybody else's one day right,
because there's been a lot of sacrifice
to have a successful career and I've
been very lucky you know I've been I've
been successful; I've got a beautiful
wife and a beautiful family and but I
was working with my head down all the time
and sometimes leaving the house at
7:00 in the morning and coming home at
midnight.
When you have two little kids that
are twins that are two years old you know
that's not necessarily I mean it's
what I have to do, what I thought I had to
do how about that?
Because now I realized that
when I was in the hospital for two
months I wasn't doing that, and then I've been in my rehab you
know for four months after that.
I realized that I can change my
life to be... my work to fit my life rather
than my life to fit my work.
My grandmother used to say to me 'walk
with a purpose when you're doing something' right, and now I
believe I walk with a purpose and I think that
purpose is to understand that it's not
just you know chasing a, a career dream
but a life dream.
I know you brought something
special for us to see, that means a lot
to you.
Well you know I, I find a good
sense of humor goes a long way so I've
got new shirts made up, they're available
at Ralph Pagano dot com hashtag fireproof that is great Ralph.
and next time we'll wear them, we
will be your advertisement.
Here's the best part
fireproof but always get naked.
Everything's better when you're naked.
Ralph we've got a new kitchen for you, we
can't wait to get you back in there.
I'm super excited about it, maybe we
can start with cold food first.

So great to have you in the studio today you just look
wonderful.
So good to be here, thank you so much it
really means the world-- Thank you.
