Who knows a big room.

Today, we've got Scottie b in the serial Killers podcast room,
and there's Gandhi.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I answering hate mail.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Oh no, I don't answer that. I just asked Scary
to decipher what they're saying because it's usually spelled incorrectly,
all of it. Yeah, so I try to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Okay, and you're Scary. Here's Garrett. We have a special
guest we'll introduce in a second.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
There's Danielle. Here's Nate. And why do you talk like that?
I don't know. Okay, our friend Felippo is here.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
Ye, that's to see you guy.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Why do you talk like that? Brock?

Speaker 5 (00:55):
We don't say that.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
How do you say brock in Italy? Italian?

Speaker 5 (01:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:04):
That sounds so much better than rah rah.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
That sounds like vomit.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
But we saved. What do we say bra as well? See?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
You see we are we fucked up the Italians. We're
such bad influence, got bad food, bad slang.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
It all sucks.

Speaker 6 (01:22):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Welcome to New York.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
We were talking to Felipo earlier on the show What
Are You Doing? We were talking about his visit three
weeks in America. We need holidays, like but that was the.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
First year that I got the chance to to stay
away for for that long, and I enjoyed ever a
second of it.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
You're not missing it at all. Don't you miss your bed,
your your stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:47):
No, yeah, I have to move to New York.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
We'll talk about that. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
The reason I asked this is because all of our
friends who are from other countries who have desire to
live here.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
We've lived here, and we've you know, the.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
United States has been going through a little bit of
turmoil the past let's say, fifteen years, twenty years, and uh,
it's sort of surprising to me sometimes that people are
still that anxious to move here.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Probably because the what we call American dream is still
a thing. So a lot of people want to move
here because America, especially big cities like New York or LA.
I know that, of course, they have cons. I don't
want to say that everything's perfect.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Every cons Okay, oh yep.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
I probably said a bad word or sorry. I should
speak like super Mario so you can understand I will
speak like that.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Mario.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, it's Mario.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
No, it's not, Yes, it is, it's Mario. It's Mario.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It's Mario. But anyway, America, I was.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
Saying that every city has its con Yeah, but yeah,
here you have this feeling that if you move here
and you try to do something, can be being a host,
doing stand up, becoming an engineer, whatever you want to do,
even if you come from the middle of nowhere, you
can do.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
It, you know.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
And and that's the cool part about American in my opinion.
And you probably guys, because you're Americans, probably I don't know,
I don't want to be offensive. Probably you take it
for granted. But as an outsider, I truly believe it's
something amazing about this country.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
It's not easy to offend us.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Second secondly, no, we do take it for granted without
without doubt. And you know, when you go through the
hardships that are many for some and few for many, Uh,
you're like, the American dream falls to the wayside. We don't,
we don't look at it as important as the important
thing it is, right totally.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
I mean, my parents used to say that all the time,
that you can if you want to. You can do
so much here that you just don't even have a
chance to do in other countries. And a lot of
times it's just based on who you were born as,
who you were born to, your station, your status, whatever
it is. Because you were born into this certain class,
you'll just never get out of it. Whereas in the
United States, how many rags to riches stories do we

(04:22):
see all the time? That's not a thing that keeps
you better.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
That's what I wanted to say. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
My husband is British and he moved here to go
to college to play soccer, and he was able to
buy his first house when he was just out of
college because of the American dream and the real estate
agent working with him and making it happen. When he
said things like that could never have happened back home.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
You know, yeah, because I think you guys like hard work.
I think Americans went when you guys see someone working hard,
you like that person, You like them. I think in
other countries, when you work hard, you've in like someone
who maybe wants to do a bit too much or.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Really I see that. But for instance, let's talking about vacation.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Actually, I actually believe this is a This is a
joke I have in my mind about the difference between
America and Italy. I always say that I think the
main difference is how we definitely deal with failure. Like
in America, if you feel in something, people around around
you are so supportive, are like, oh man, I'm so sorry.
You don't deserve this, but just keep pushing, we'll be
back on top. In Europe, if you're feeling something, people

(05:30):
around you are like, yes, yes, I knew it would happen.
It was just a matter of time that you felt.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Look, I don't have each other's backs.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Now that you felt, Look what a happy life I
can finally have. That's how it works. Worst.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
My point is that one of the big differences that
we're seeing it in front of us now, how relaxed
they are.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Just take more vacation, Yeah, in America.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
In America, a lot of people are allotted vacation and
they don't tell because they're afraid someone's going to take
their place, or they're going to miss a beat at
work and something's going to fall apart at work. And
that I get there. There is a big difference there.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Even if I'm here and I've been here for three weeks.
I'm like that, but I think most people leave, like
because when you live in a beautiful country, like it
tell you don't care. I mean, you care about work,
but there are other things you want to spend, you know,
high quality time in beautiful places around you. You want to
spend time with your family, with your kids, So there

(06:31):
are other priorities.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
We can't do that here though we don't. We do
have a beautiful country. As Gandhi was telling you earlier,
there's lots of places, places of trouble.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
What's that name? I have a question for you. So
Gandhi and I were talking about this a couple of
months ago. There's a story that came out for five dollars,
you can buy a house in Italy.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, is that a scam? When is that story?

Speaker 5 (06:55):
So I don't remember that exact story, but I think
it's a thing because you know, there are some places
where basically from from where people escaped, so now no
one is leaving there anymore, and so maybe, like the
mayor of the city is like, guys, we need people back.
So if you buy homes, you can do it for
a very cheap price. I didn't think like one dollar,

(07:16):
but apparently it is.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
It's one dollar, and we have a friend who did it,
and there are restrictions you have to have it. It
has to be built out and completed by a certain
amount of time. Yeah, and so you get the house
for a dollar, But getting a refurbished home in Italy
isn't as easy as it is here.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Guy, we know. Yeah, I can introduce you to some
good people.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
I had heard with this process is actually getting it
refinished in that time frame, and if it's seven years
and you have to put thirty five thousand dollars into
it or whatever it is, what I heard was that
there it's gonna cost you so much more money to
actually get things done on time, because it's not like
here where you talk to a contractor they say we'll

(07:58):
have it done in two weeks, done in three weeks.
But apparently there, if you talk to a contractor, they're like, well,
how much are you gonna give me to get it
done on time? And then I heard there's maybe like
a coast and nostra thing that gets in.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
If I don't have anything to say about that response response.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Borrow them up to get everything done, and it costs
me so much more.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
No, But you know what's crazy. No, I want to
be honest with you. Otherwise I won't be back to
Italy because people will kill me. But there are so
many good talented people in Italy and especially in the
architecture and construction work. But you know what's funny, Like
the first time I came to New York, I went
to city and partstead building and I so that it
was built in three years and something like that. Three years.

(08:44):
I mean the city, the small town where I was
born and raised is like ten thousand people. I see
like little houses, like two floor souses that have been
under construction for like since since I was born.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Twenty the money. They didn't have the money.

Speaker 7 (09:03):
As an Italian American, I was told a couple of
months ago, when the story came out here that I'm
entitled to apply for dual citizenship where I can actually
have have my Yes. No, absolutely, if you could prove
your lineage like and I can, so I can, I
can actually and so can you, Danielle. We Italians are
actually being encouraged because we're hearing about these stories that

(09:24):
it's the population is aging out and you need more
younger people to come in.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Is that true?

Speaker 6 (09:29):
And they want yeah, no, no, that's what that's what
the artist said. They said, the reason behind is this motivation.
They want Americans, Italian Americans and from other countries that
are Italian to come back in and so the economy
could Flourensha.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yes, I don't work for the government, but but if
it did, I would totally give you any entime citizenship. No,
and I think so, I'm not so. I don't want
to say dumb things. I don't know if it's true,
but I know that if you're like, uh have Italic,
if you're American and you have like Italian grand pirates
something like that, you can do it. I mean, I
have one of my best American friends. His grandparents are

(10:07):
Italian and he can do it. He's probably going to
do it.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
You absolutely both came over.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Scot I have Scotland. Well, okay, let's talk about tourism
for a moment. I know that not in maybe in Italy,
but I know in Spain some of the big cities.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Madrid, Barcelona and such.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
The locals are actually throwing eggs and shooting water guns
at tourists because they're the tourism is so hot right
now it's fucking up their cities if you like that.
In parts of Italy as well, I know the Amalfi
Coast during the summer is impossible.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
It is crazy also Cicily. But no, you're welcome anytime, guys.
Great advertise on American radio and podcast for you.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Have you thrown an egg?

Speaker 5 (10:55):
No? No, no, never no. But I think there are
so as Italians were different from region to region. Of course,
if you go to like the center of Italy were
basically roam is and to the south they're so welcoming,
always welcoming. We're welcoming everywhere, but there are like so
in Italy. We often joke about the region where I'm from,

(11:18):
which is Liguria where Portofino, that fancy place is basically
and we are known all around Italy to be not
so welcoming. I have this story when I was a kid,
so my you know that in Italy we have a
lot of private beaches like where you have to pay
and you go there for all the summer and the
beach clubs exactly. It's pretty common. And when I was
a kid, my family used to go in one of

(11:38):
those places and have this memory. I was like probably
eight and my friends and I couldn't wait to go
to the beach. You know, in May, when this beach
club was opening, we were so excited. And the first
day that we went there, the first thing that I
saw was the owner of the place signing on a
calendar the first day how many days were till the

(12:00):
end of the season to close again and to be
back to basically not welcome tourists anymore. So, you know,
I think, I think we know as Italians that tourism
is probably the biggest part of our economy, and so
we love it. We we love having American people visiting
French people. Wherever you're from.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Either the French.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, I know there's a competition going on, but because
we are not that we're better, so they're.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Welcome, no competition.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I have a question, if you move here, but say
you couldn't do radio, would you still want to move here?

Speaker 5 (12:37):
So if I don't consider my Italian career, I would,
I would do it. I would try to do I
would love to do stand up, yeah I would. I
would probably do anything to make it in America.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
But yeah, Felipo.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
To be to be fair, though, doing stand up or
doing radio, there aren't as many opportunities.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
Especially if you're not native English speaker, and I know
that's a huge problem.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well no, maybe that would play in your favor.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
I think what I think, everything you say is more
beautiful than whatever it is that we are saying. Just
because you have an accent, you should.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
Capitalize on that doing Thank you, thank you. No, I
couldn't ever lose. No, I could thank you so much.
I mean, yeah, that's what makes me probably unique. So no,
I totally yeah, but I will do it to answer
your question.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, all right, Well let's get a job for Felipo.
You're going to have whatever seat you want to take here.
Just kick them out. We'll fire them and come on,
are you ready to host host the show?

Speaker 5 (13:34):
So it's gonna be called the Fielding in the morning shows? Okay,
I could never. I could never so, but if you
need an intern, I can be there tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, look, enjoy your remaining few hours. Yeah, and you
know when you come back, if you come back in
November or whenever, let us know you're coming over. You
have our phone numbers. Let us know and come see us.
