Our Mother of the Year: Carmen Tenuta w/ Grace & AJ Scalzo

For Mother’s Day, we were joined by the one and only Carmen Tenuta, along with her kids, Grace and AJ Scalzo.

Together, they spill all the tea on what it was like growing up with Carmen: an amazing single mother and an overall witty and energetic powerhouse of a woman.

You’ll hear stories from Grace and AJ’s childhood with Carmen, including when AJ discovered the consequences that come from flipping a random stranger off, Wednesday evening pizza nights, dance parties, as well as what growing up in a second-generation immigrant family was like.

We also got some hilarious stories out of them, including a herniated disk after dropping it a little too low.

What would Mother’s Day be without a little mothering? Grace and AJ give insight into the life lessons passed down from Carmen and the importance humility played in their life growing up, and still to this day.

This is a light-hearted, feel-good episode with Milwaukee Uncut’s Mother of the Year that will make you want to call your mom and say, “Thank you. I love you!”

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.
