Can we take a beat to recognize how badass these Madden children's names are? Raddix? Sparrow? Cardinal? Harlow?

In an appearance on the eternal smoke show Rob Lowe's SiriusXM's Literally! With Rob Lowe Show, Benji and Joel shared super rare comments about their marriages to two of Hollywood's most fabulously relevant women.

Rob started the discussion by saying, "All three of us married to strong women. When you think about all of our similarities, [they're] like 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."

Rob has been married to Sheryl Berkoff since 1991. They have two sons, Matthew Edward, and actor John Owen Lowe.

Benji agreed with Rob's assertion that they're all married to strong women. "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," he added. "They still need a strong counterpart, but you have to also not have the ego."

Joel chimed in, "We all respect our wives. They are absolutely our counterparts, and we all have a healthy fear of our wives. I don't know if I ever thought someone could keep me. It's not that I was a relationship guy, but then I met Nicole and she absolutely runs the show. But we are partners."

Joel continued, "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 included. "It's a whole foundation. Like Cameron, when we met, it was like the world just went like this [right side up]."

Rob jumped in, saying, "They're formidable. You don't wanna fuck with them. I want no part of running afoul of any of our three wives."

And Benji added one more note about the Charlie's Angels star, saying, "They're queens. Go against my wife? Good luck. I don't even need to get involved. Good luck."
