Yankee cap Everyone, I don'tknow if it's the logo, I don't

Speaker 6 (03:05):

Speaker 1 (03:07):
You see it too right.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I started like oh my God Remember where I looked.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Just.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Yankee caps.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It caps everything off.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Well, and I don't know if you've noticed that the
women are wearing shirts andtops that all have like Los
Angeles, or they have New York,their fashion.
You know some of the fashionfrom America.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I have, don't you get the feeling when you're over
here, though, seriously likepeople.
There's all these beautifulboutiques and these clothing
shops and it just seems likepeople.
There's all these beautifulboutiques and these clothing
shops and it just seems likepeople here who live here are
very stylish.
I thought Shelly had a greatdescription of it today.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Casual elegance.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Casual elegance.
You know people seem to be slim.
People do a lot of walking here.
You know there's a lot of stepsthat you have to.
You know, up and downeverywhere, and people are
dressed very nice and it's verynoticeable.
I think yeah, and you know.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I noticed that too last year.
I mean even the kids you knowdown to like young teenagers,
the guys and the girls they putthemselves all together well,
and you know the girls have themakeup and the hair and the guys
, you know, they fix their hairand put on the right clothes and
(04:31):
all these things that you knowthat we don't even think about
on a day-to-day basis.
I mean, how many days have werolled out of bed and slapped
ourselves together?
I'm on my way?
Not much, you know.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
They just don't do that here.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Maybe gender specific I was going to say it's pretty
much gender specific.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I can be ready in five minutes, my wife's 35
minutes.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I slap myself, you know, okay, you're working.
I did that once, but I got iton my piece.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I washed my pants.
I don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Whose first time is it over here to Italy?
Over here to italy?
Okay, you're it's I'm my second.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
You're in your second .
I'm on my second visit, yoursecond visit.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm on my second, where'd you go?
The first time we did a cruise,so we did all the major stops
in rome and sicily and sardiniaand tuscany and a few other
places yeah yeah, pisa, we'regoing tomorrow, so yeah, I
haven't.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I need.
I can't wait to go to pisatomorrow.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I'm really looking forward to what I'm looking for,
because when I went to Pisa thelast time I didn't go in the
tower, but there's a domefacility just outside the
cathedral and, like at noon, ayoung girl goes in there and she
sings, it projects her voice upinto the dome and actually the
way it projects back down, it'sharmonic and it's very, very
(05:45):
motivating.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You went to Pisa and didn't go to the Leaning Tower.
Is that what you said?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I didn't go inside the Leaning Tower.
So, you can go in.
I didn't go in, but I took thestandard picture where you're
holding the tower, of course.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Is anyone going to take the standard Leaning Tower
of Pisa photo tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
There's like a basilica next to the church and
this basilica- has a dome.
And at 12 o'clock A young ladycomes up there and sings and
projects her voice into the domeand it's so surreal Because it
echoes back and forth and theharmonics are just.
It's mind blowing.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I hope we get to see that tomorrow, because that's
what I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You loved it enoughblowing.
I hope we get to see thattomorrow because that's what I'm
looking forward to oh, yeah,yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, I mean, you loved it enough to come over.
You had to see it again.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
You had to see more of italy more of italy, because
you know half italian, the otherhalf we don't know what to talk
about, but no, I'm definitelylooking forward to seeing what
about you guys?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
what, uh?
So your your first time overhere, so what are your?
What are your feelings aboutItaly so far?
What do you notice?
What do you think Stan?
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I mean, we're what, two days, three days into it, oh
my gosh.
I mean, can it get any better?
Yeah, it's just oh my yeah,it's no, it certainly went way
past what my expectations orwhat I had thought about it.
One thing I know this wouldcoming back no, you know, you
never see any homeless.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I saw one.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I saw one lady at the dock where we departed, but she
was like she had a little can.
Oh, okay, so we can do thattomorrow.
(07:29):
Her name wasn't sure what, thegypsy's name was.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Yeah, that is a good point.
Yeah, I mean, this could be it.
Well, I didn't want to make thecomparison.
This is like the Sausalito ofItaly, yes.
However, if you go to Sausalitoof America, it's like you know,
oh, that was built in 1940, orwhatever.
(07:54):
Right.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Not 1740.
Or 1340.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And maybe they have homeless folks in Rome.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You know, they really don't.
They don't, no, I mean, Ihaven't seen it and I there was
we've done.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
I have not seen it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Well, there was one place where we did a podcast.
Remember that, ryan, we were,we were, we.
We ordered these alcoholicbeverages, these fruity
alcoholic beverages, on thiscorner.
One day we were doing thepodcast, the middle of the day
with jody and and uh, with danis that where you found those
odd cigars?
Yes yes okay, and thoseremember there was a whole row
(08:33):
of people sleeping on thatsidewalk that was.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That's right, that's right.
I remember that.
Yeah, that's the only thingI've ever seen, right I?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
forgot about that you know, over here they uh, from
what I understand.
Understand you have to takecare.
People take care of theirfamilies.
Yes, it's kind of a shame forthe family to have anyone on the
street and people havecompassion and there's.
You know you kind of have totake care of your family over
here they don't want to see thepeople.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
I think that's exactly the reason that we have
homeless in America.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's a big part of it , the breakdown.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
People don't have a place to go home to.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Well, and I will tell you, in Bologna I had a few
people come up to me and beg formoney.
But the other thing that wasdriving me crazy is these guys
with arms full of like earbudsand chargers and that kind of
stuff, and trying to sell youstuff on the street and they all
looked like they were out ofBangladesh or somewhere, like
(09:28):
they weren't Italian guys, so Idon't know what was going on
there.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
I saw that all the time.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And they tell you, you know, ignore them.
Don't even look at them.
Or just wave them off, orwhatever.
You really I had a couple oftimes say no.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
That happened in Greece when I went to greece.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Yeah, I think that the nicer the places the more
protected.
It is too, I mean.
So you don't see trash here,because they don't want this to
be right.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
They want this to be very clean because I always
thought, oh, why don't you getin Switzerland?
It's like really no.
I can't hear you, I know, but Ican't have a blank spot.
So once you get, I always heardwhen you're in Italy it's like
dirty, or the trains are dirtyand shut up.
I'm sorry.
And then, once you get toSwitzerland, it's like
(10:21):
everything's clean, yes, but Ithink this is fricking beautiful
, it is, it is.
Like where's a trash can aroundhere?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, everything's been cleaned.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I know, isn't this weird?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, I mean I could live here, but I couldn't.
Even the language is clean.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, but that was another thing I noticed too,
having trouble finding a trashcan.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Do you speak Italian and that sounds.
It's counterproductive.
How do you know they're notcursing?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They could be going.
These people are Americans.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
You just had an A.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I can see you, izzy, I know every curse word in every
language and I haven't heard ithere.
Oh really no, I'm just sayingthat.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh, I was going to have you give us a few examples,
no, I can't, I give Japanese acouple of Italian curse words
Because there's no curse wordsin Japanese If you guys want to
see a place that's clean.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Martina Franca, Where's?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
that when we stayed last year.
Do we have to take a train?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Oh, it's just.
I mean it's marble-y stony allthe way up, it's all lit up it
literally looks like they moppedtheir streets, streets is that
where the white streets?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
were.
We were talking about the plazayes, not the all white.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
That was the, that was white city well, no, no, no,
the place, no, really whitecity is incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
All the buildings are white, the sidewalks, the
stones you can't have that inthe united states.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
White the sidewalks, the stones.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Did you see the guy with the blower ahead of the
street sweeper Mm, that was-.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
What.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
What there?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
was a guy with a blower and he was blowing stuff
from the sidewalk into thestreet.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Ah, so he could sweep it up.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
He's blowing it off the street.
No, no, he was cleaning.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It was like a Pac-Man game.
I walked down two blocks to getcoffee and everybody was
scrubbing the front of their thehole with soap and rinsing it
with water.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
That's what I said Couldn't do that because they
were worried about rinsing thesoap into the groundwater.
Well, that's what they weredoing.
Couldn't do that at all.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
They really wanted it clean yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
We were standing yesterday coming back from
someone's Chiquiterre,Chiquiterre.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Chiquiterre.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
We took the train for a little bit.
Yes, and they got thesehigh-powered, these high-speed
trains, man, and this issomething you would never see in
California.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
What about the high-speed train?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Certainly you're not seeing that high-speed train in
California, as we know Anyhow.
That's a very good point,shelly, thank you.
In california, as we knowanyhow.
That's a very good point,shelly, thank you.
But uh, but this is like youwould never have this in
california, like if you'rewaiting for this train, you go
into this like what, is it atrain tunnel?
Yeah and these things are.
I don't know how fast thesetrains are going, uh 150 miles
(13:19):
an hour at least through thattunnel yeah, it's slow yeah but
they get up over 200.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
they get up over 200 miles 200 miles an hour.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, there's no honking right.
And they say, well, stay behindthe yellow line.
Well, first of all, as danpointed out, the what yellow
line?
The yellow line is literallyfaded away, except for in
certain little spots, and youcan't tell me they don't have
the budget to, you know, paint ayellow line.
If they don't have the budgetto paint a yellow line, man, I
don't know what's happening.
But it's terrifying.
When you're standing in thereand that train comes through,
(13:49):
even if you're against the wall,it feels like it's sucking you
out onto the track.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Well, it's hitting that tunnel and just pushing all
that air right.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
It's called physics.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
my dear, you have to hold on to your hat, because
when it goes by, oh yeah yeah,did anyone else catch my?

happy with his hat.

I'll just say that I think it's more of the fact of
being in Florence.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I'm going to bring this back to.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
To what David, david, david Sure.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
You know, it's more of the fact of being in Florence
, where you've seen pictures andyou've heard about it but never
been there, right, right.
And so many people go toFlorence.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
And Rome, but so many go to.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Florence.
I'd rather go to Florence.
Yes, because of the leatherquality.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yeah, Right, yeah, well, and I think that it seems
like it's I'm getting leatherchaps, it's still.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Hey now, ooh, okay, she didn't want me to mention
her new blouse, but openly willtell you she's wearing leather
chaps.
Please tell us more.
Yes, yes, will you be?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
wearing those around.
It'll heat you, breathe well ohthere we go.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
That's a good excuse.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
So what about whiskey and ice cream?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Oh, fantastic.
Oh, I discovered a new desserttonight.
Whiskey, thanks to Steve.
Yes, it was incredible.
I can't believe those twothings go together so well,
affogato.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Affogato with whiskey is what it is.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Affogato.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Affogato yes.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So that's typically ice cream with a little bit of
coffee, is it's an affogato?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And here they have it with whiskey Fantastic, whiskey
is a better choice.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I think you put a little port wine over that ice
cream Might even be just as good.
I don't know, there's so manydifferent flavors of alcohol you
can add to your ice cream now.
It's just opened up so many newdimensions.
That's true.
How to perceive ice cream.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know, when you see Florence, you're going to be
blown away.
You're just going to look atthat and go.
I remember seeing Florence andthinking wow, this is.
You can really tell you're notin America when you see Florence
.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
There's a few places right, like whoa look at this.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It just looks so different than anything you see
in America and it's huge, butit's a fascinating city.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Here it's.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, yeah.
I want to say it's about thereal statue of David.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
My foot size is 10 oh , is that right can you imagine
someone went in there years agoI don't know, it was 40 or 50
years ago going in to look atthe statue of David and brings
in a hammer and starts smashingthe toes off of this thing?
Sorry, breaking the toes off ofMichael huh no, no, it's true
(21:50):
and the crowd subdued this guybefore the police could even get
to him.
They're just mobbed him.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
He's just in there, he's in a protest he starts
smashing so if you look at thestatue, you'll see where he got
it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
You see the Sistine Chapel.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
It's incredible, you go into the Sistine Chapel and
it's, it's tight, it's small.
You look up.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Very compact.
Yeah, Everyone stands there andyou gotta look up.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh my gosh, it's incredible to see that.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
But they pack them in man In addition to enjoying the
work of Michelangelo on theceiling.
In my mind, it would also go to.
You know, this is where theCardinals get locked in to pick
a new Pope, like that's amazingto me, that's their meeting room
well, they're in that processas we speak, I believe.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
He hasn't passed no he hasn't died yet.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I thought Pope died.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
No, he got released from the hospital Doing better
it was news right before we left, it flashed up that he had
passed.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Oh, really so that was interesting.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Oh, so you got a false report that he died.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, it was a false report.
I don't know if it was a falsereport that he died.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
Yeah, it was a false report.
I don't know if it was a falsereport, I just Look it up.

Just to the outside.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Oh, that's right, you didn't go in.
How did you?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know, because I signed up for the trip just a
month in advance and the Vaticanhad instituted some new
security.
They needed all yourinformation at least 60 days in
advance.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
That's why I didn't go too.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Now Ken tried but it didn't work out.
But I ended up with our tourguide on that trip, leah all to
myself in St Peter's Squaregoing this is this, this is this
, this is this, this is this.
For half an hour.
And then she said go on yourown down this street past the
Vatican that Mussolini built andsee how beautiful it is.
(25:16):
And she was right.
But the thing I honed in on,because I tune into these things
, is that's the chimney wherethe smoke comes out.
And she says yep, sure is.
And they all sit in the squarewhen the Pope's dead they all
sit in the square during theconclave and they wait to watch
that smoke come out of thatchimney.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, and if it's black.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
They're oh a big, you know, sigh.

I think it's like a little bit more than a third.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Here.
Give me your key.
I want to go look at it.
Speaker 1 (26:12):

Speaker 5 (26:22):
Then turn it on no, then turn the shower on.
Speaker 6 (26:25):

soaks the entire freakingbathroom.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, it's stupid.
The Skin Stripper 5000.
It's just this heavy.
It looks like on Seinfeld.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
What was the shower head.
You wanted that rush from theRussian guy.
That's what this is.
No more low pressure showers.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Low water flow showers.
It's just.
I see it every time I come overhere.
The hotels have like and you'reright, dan, it's not even like
a half a shower.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
It's not half a shower.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I looked at it this morning, fuck that Well, they
have half showers and thenalmost everywhere you go there's
no toilet seats.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Oh, you get the public restrooms?
Yeah, but today in.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Portofino.
I was blessed two or threetimes.
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I went in there Blessed with a toilet seat.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And lo and behold, there was a toilet seat.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Well, oh my God, you know what?
I did see that a couple oftimes last year public toilets
with no seats and it just.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well, they're everywhere.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
The first thing I think is oh, the poor women.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That's so disrespectful to women.
You've got to be kidding me,man, but I saw one that was
respectful for men actually,Because the last restaurant, or
did you hover?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
The toilet seat actually was spring-loaded, so
you put it down, you sit on it,but if you stand up, it
automatically springs, it'sautomatically for men because
you don't have to push it down,because it's spring, loads up.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
It's in the opposition all the time, unless
you sit on.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
That's cuz you know, you just didn't learn.
Always put the seat down.
The same place you can get abidet, the same place you ate.
No bidet, no bidet.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
No bidet today no bidet today.

bidet today.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I'm not going the bidet.
Speaker 7 (28:30):

that you know I think, if I'mnot mistaken, italy was on the
wrong side of World War II Atfirst, at first, at first right.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
They came around, they came around and then they

bathtub.
I'd rather get a shower.

People that have a half wall.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, that's right that.
Yeah, that's right, that'sright.
You know you got to resort to.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
It turns men into bathers.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Half wall, half wall.
I remember when the wall fell.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I just wanted to say something, too, about Marco.
Marco was our liaison on thistrip, yeah, and this guy has
gone out of his way toaccommodate us, and with just
first class, like yesterday wasa lunch right up at the
(31:33):
Chiquiterre right, yeah, it wasVernazza.
And and as we're going by onthis boat and I know, dan,
you're thinking like, oh my god,this has got to be the greatest
place to eat we looked up thereand there was people eating in
this most incredible spot andyou're like, well, that's gonna
be the best place to eat, right?
(31:53):
you were telling deb yeah yourwife yep and next thing you know

(32:13):
Mediterranean right, theMediterranean.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
Or is it the Mediterranean?
Ligurian Sea?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I've got it right here it's Ligurian Sea.

Yes, thank you.
Yeah, no, I had to look it up.
Is that confused, did you ever?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Ligurian Sea.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, no, I had to guess that.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
That confused me.
Did you ever think you'd be tothe Ligurian?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Sea, ligura, or is it Ligura or Ligure, ligure,
ligure, no, who would havethought.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Emphasis on the first syllable yeah, do these seas
join, like all of a sudden,they're okay, well, well,
there's the Gurren, you see, andthen, oh, it joins up with the
Mediterranean, like whatever youtake pictures of there's a buoy
.
That's it.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
It is all connected you could
Speaker 2 (32:53):
swim in two different seas at the same time yeah.
See this.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
So, pat back on your point about Marco.
Yeah, also our last tour guide,leah fantastic, oh, no doubt.
So I gotta say I gotta get ashout out skin.
Yeah, establishing theserelationships out here, that's I
mean, that's what he doesconservative tourism, and also
me to talk to.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Lorenzo was also great, and Bernie, who was our,
who was our liaison in Irelandoh, what a sweetheart.
These people are fantastic.
You know, you come on one ofthese trips and you know I'm
just going to say it if you, youknow I'm doing these ads on my
radio show and I'm alwaystelling you, you know about this
(33:40):
great group of people that wehave this Pats Peeps group that
goes with conservative tours andwe meet all these people and
it's funny because you becomefriends with a lot of them.
After the group is left we comeback and now they get together.
Still they go off.
You know, they just visit eachother.
We just make new friends.
Um, so you know, if you didn'tmake, if you were not able to
(34:02):
make this trip, we're also goingto do another trip in late
October, into November, thebeginning of November, in Sicily
.
And just on this group, in thelast couple of days I've heard
several people say, hey, youknow what, we're going to go to
Sicily too.
We're going because we justwant to go do this again, and so
you know that's something andjust go to conservative tours.
(34:24):
Hopefully they have my name upon that trip out there.
They didn't have it up there fora while.
But you know, just make sure ifyou, if you are thinking about
it, to go to the Pat's to uh, tothe Pat Walsh uh trip to Sicily
in late October, like I said.
So, uh, I'm really lookingforward to that because we're
going to go see part of this isgoing to be going to see the
(34:45):
Godfather tour, which I'm reallylooking forward to.
We're all the guys you knowsome of the locales from that.
The Godfather was shot.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
But I understand, sicily is just gorgeous gorgeous
, and last time I looked I'mpretty sure your name was on it
on the website.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Oh, was it OK good.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
Conservativetourscom right, yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I want to go.
I really want to go.
I don't know if I can pull itoff and you know the Godfather,
yeah, and that series is myall-time favorite and I always
remind people it is still, aftermore than 50 years, the only
film and its sequel both to winthe Best Picture Oscar, so
(35:24):
that's an accomplishment in andof itself.
If you ever saw the offer onParamount Plus a 10-part series
about making it, the stuff theywent through.
The fact that that first filmwas ever made was unreal.
It should never have made it totheaters at all.
There were so many things thatwent wrong or problems they had
(35:44):
or money, See.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
I like the inside information.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
We should watch the offer on Paramount+.
It was terrific.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Well, I don't have Paramount+.
I'll give you my password, youhear that Paramount+.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
you can have my password at Paramount+, but I
would love to see thoselocations.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, right it wasn't like.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
They went to Corleone and the local mob boss.
They wanted the entire budgetof what they had for the
Corleone shoot just to greasethe local mafioso.
So they packed up and snuck outof town and went to the next
town over and actually filmed itthere.
Oh really.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
I heard that the making of it was interesting.
I see and I think the behindthe scenes is fascinating.
Love that stuff.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Yeah absolutely, or like the scene with.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Pacino with the gun taped behind the tank of the
toilet.
Coppola had him move where theytaped it so that he couldn't
find it while they were filmingand it made him nervous.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Because Pacino was nervous, he was young and he was
scared, he was, you know, he'sa stage actor.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
He'd never done anything like this before.
They moved the location wherethey taped the gun to freak out
Pacino.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
It came out beautifully.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
The cat in the first scene where he's Buona sera
buona sera.
What have I ever done to makeyou treat me so disrespectfully?
The Undertaker.
That cat was just a cat thatwandered onto the set, jumped in
Brando's lap he was playingwith it.
In the scene the cat's an icon.
Shows up in the movie posterShows up in the movie poster.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
That's great, that cat was supposed to be nowhere
near that film Cats always showup in the, so both of those, the
one and two, won Best.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Both of them Best for Oscar.
So okay you've seen the trilogy.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
All three of them.
I have not seen the last one,but I'm going to ask you your
opinion on the first two.
The first two movies.
Have you seen them?
Yeah, it's been a while.
Yeah, it's been a while Seenthem yeah.
What's your favorite?
Speaker 4 (37:45):
the first or the second?
The first one, but the secondone is great.
Are we asking me about thethird one?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Do you need a setup?
No, I have no reference to it.
Yeah, we don't have time, okay,so here's the thing about the
third one.
Yeah, there's of time folks.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Thank you for joining Padspeak.
No, the third one was not wellreceived at first and I could
see why.
But it's grown on me over theyears.
This features a cameo by theway of former California
Assembly Speaker Willie Brown asa friend of the family, another
(38:25):
reason I won't be seeing it,that's conservativetourscom.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Conservativetourscom.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
We all thought Willie Brown was crooked, and then
he's chummy with the mobsters,so it makes perfect sense.
Actually Is Kamala with him?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
No, no, but the first two were fabulous.
Which is the best?
The first two.
Let's get into the first two.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
The first two were fabulous.
You can't see her.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Which is the best?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
The third one has grown on me and he recut it into
what they call the Godfather.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
Coda.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
And it's a little better that way.
Oh, I really really love thefirst one.
But they're such great Likewhen they go to Tahoe.
In the second one, that's theold Henry J Kaiser estate that's
still there.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
That was my summer favorite.
Two is your favorite, I lovedthe whole Tahoe.
Yeah, that was my favorite.
What about you, gabe?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
It's been a long time , but I'd say the first one
probably still resonates with meyeah, have you seen it, shelly,
that's what I remember at first.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
I like.
Animal House Everyone told me Ilike Animal House.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Was it over when the Germans bombed.
Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
No, I'm just trying to you know switch it up.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
I didn't care for number two that much.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
What.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
No, I kept fast forwarding through it.
I'm like you know what?
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Oh, don't no I did.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
It's just too much To me.
It was just all over the place.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Oh, with the flashing back.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, and it was too much celebration people
celebrating, I'm like just getto it.
Whereas the first one with AvaGoda, with the characters in
there, I always knew through thewhole movie, exactly what's
happening.
It was sunny with everyone inthere.
I knew exactly what's happening?
The next part.
The next part, it kind offlowed better for me.
The next one was they're here,they're there, they're Tahoe,
(40:08):
they're, you know, they're inSicily, they're all over the and
I couldn't believe that.
I don't know how long that hewas in the country before he
meets this girl and marries her.
I'm like what?
Two days.
I'm like you're married andthere's a gigantic, so he there
for months.
It just it was, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I didn't like it nearly as much as the first one.
You read the book, I've readthe book, the book.
There's a lot more about JohnnyFontaine and his family in the
book that just no room.
In a two and a half hour filmthere was no room for that
Johnny.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
Fontaine was great.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
But Al Martino was fantastic and he reappears, and
see Godfather 3.
There was a lot of fan servicestuff too, like they brought
back Johnny Fontaine, you know,and that sort of thing.
I'll find you a cut where it'sactually all in chronological
order.
So it starts with Vito, youknow the early years, and then
(40:56):
they move along from there.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
So that'll help.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
So, anyhow, all of that came out because we're
going to go to Sicily.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
So if you're thinking about that.
That would be a great trip.
I'm looking forward to that.
Anyhow, I just want to say getthis great group of people
together.
Everyone's having a good time.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
It's a great time.
I noticed when we got on theship to go to Portofino that all
the people from conservativecrews got on the right side of
the ship.
Oh, is that right?
Surely leans right.
Is that right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Have you been to Rome ?
I have yeah, you've seen thegraffiti all over the walls all
over the city, except theVatican.
That's on the liberal toursgroup.
They go around the town on thebus and then they stop and they
hand out spray cans at night.
Speaker 7 (41:44):
It's on the liberal tours you might want to check
that one out too.
They tax the citizens.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Oh, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
So, uh, purple and the cleanup, and it's just like
it's a lovely color the graffitiwhen we yeah we're still hot,
but graffiti when we were invernonza or whatever, and we go.
At least it's pretty oh, colorcoordinated and it's like purple
and green and it's not likeblack and they're doing you know
(42:19):
, yeah, it's not gang tags,thank you.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Yeah, mean graffiti, it's not gang tags.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Thank you and it didn't say Elon Musk is a Nazi.
Whoa I don't know it waswritten in Italian Maybe it did
say I just didn't see the Elonbar or the Nazi part it was like
pretty graffiti.
Speaker 7 (42:38):
Pretty graffiti Instead of black, more street
art than gang art.
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Yes, it was pretty and it had like very lovely.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
I've never heard anyone described graffiti in
that way before, as pretty If Iget to a certain side of Milan.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
You're gonna see the ugly graffiti and where I stayed
in Bologna it was ugly on.
You're going to see the uglygraffiti and where I stayed in
Bologna it was ugly graffiti.
It's around.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
And Rome was ugly graffiti.
I mean his buildings were ugly,so I think we ought to end this
on a really lovely fun note andend it with a song Pat's Peeps
238.

(02:22):
that is one of the mostbeautiful little places I've

if you have never, you know.
Hopefully people get a chance totravel if you come to Italy.
It is just an incredible.
It's like every turn you wantto take photos of something you

It's just beautiful and, likeyou said, the people are great
(02:45):
here and I did notice that ifanyone is wearing a baseball cap
over here, right If it's abaseball cap and I'm not talking
about the actual cap.
It's a freaking New York.
Yankee cap Everyone, I don'tknow if it's the logo, I don't
know if that's the, I don't knowwhat it is your obsession?
Speaker 6 (03:05):
became my obsession.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You see it too right.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I started like oh my God Remember where I looked.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Just.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Yankee caps.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It caps everything off.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Well, and I don't know if you've noticed that the
women are wearing shirts andtops that all have like Los
Angeles, or they have New York,their fashion.
You know some of the fashionfrom America.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I have, don't you get the feeling when you're over
here, though, seriously likepeople.
There's all these beautifulboutiques and these clothing
shops and it just seems likepeople.
There's all these beautifulboutiques and these clothing
shops and it just seems likepeople here who live here are
very stylish.
I thought Shelly had a greatdescription of it today.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Casual elegance.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Casual elegance.
You know people seem to be slim.
People do a lot of walking here.
You know there's a lot of stepsthat you have to.
You know, up and downeverywhere, and people are
dressed very nice and it's verynoticeable.
I think yeah, and you know.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I noticed that too last year.
I mean even the kids you knowdown to like young teenagers,
the guys and the girls they putthemselves all together well,
and you know the girls have themakeup and the hair and the guys
, you know, they fix their hairand put on the right clothes and
(04:31):
all these things that you knowthat we don't even think about
on a day-to-day basis.
I mean, how many days have werolled out of bed and slapped
ourselves together?
I'm on my way?
Not much, you know.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
They just don't do that here.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Maybe gender specific I was going to say it's pretty
much gender specific.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I can be ready in five minutes, my wife's 35
minutes.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I slap myself, you know, okay, you're working.
I did that once, but I got iton my piece.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I washed my pants.
I don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Whose first time is it over here to Italy?
Over here to italy?
Okay, you're it's I'm my second.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
You're in your second .
I'm on my second visit, yoursecond visit.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm on my second, where'd you go?
The first time we did a cruise,so we did all the major stops
in rome and sicily and sardiniaand tuscany and a few other
places yeah yeah, pisa, we'regoing tomorrow, so yeah, I
haven't.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I need.
I can't wait to go to pisatomorrow.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I'm really looking forward to what I'm looking for,
because when I went to Pisa thelast time I didn't go in the
tower, but there's a domefacility just outside the
cathedral and, like at noon, ayoung girl goes in there and she
sings, it projects her voice upinto the dome and actually the
way it projects back down, it'sharmonic and it's very, very
(05:45):
motivating.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You went to Pisa and didn't go to the Leaning Tower.
Is that what you said?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I didn't go inside the Leaning Tower.
So, you can go in.
I didn't go in, but I took thestandard picture where you're
holding the tower, of course.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Is anyone going to take the standard Leaning Tower
of Pisa photo tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
There's like a basilica next to the church and
this basilica- has a dome.
And at 12 o'clock A young ladycomes up there and sings and
projects her voice into the domeand it's so surreal Because it
echoes back and forth and theharmonics are just.
It's mind blowing.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I hope we get to see that tomorrow, because that's
what I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You loved it enoughblowing.
I hope we get to see thattomorrow because that's what I'm
looking forward to oh, yeah,yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, I mean, you loved it enough to come over.
You had to see it again.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
You had to see more of italy more of italy, because
you know half italian, the otherhalf we don't know what to talk
about, but no, I'm definitelylooking forward to seeing what
about you guys?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
what, uh?
So your your first time overhere, so what are your?
What are your feelings aboutItaly so far?
What do you notice?
What do you think Stan?
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I mean, we're what, two days, three days into it, oh
my gosh.
I mean, can it get any better?
Yeah, it's just oh my yeah,it's no, it certainly went way
past what my expectations orwhat I had thought about it.
One thing I know this wouldcoming back no, you know, you
never see any homeless.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I saw one.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I saw one lady at the dock where we departed, but she
was like she had a little can.
Oh, okay, so we can do thattomorrow.
(07:29):
Her name wasn't sure what, thegypsy's name was.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Yeah, that is a good point.
Yeah, I mean, this could be it.
Well, I didn't want to make thecomparison.
This is like the Sausalito ofItaly, yes.
However, if you go to Sausalitoof America, it's like you know,
oh, that was built in 1940, orwhatever.
(07:54):
Right.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Not 1740.
Or 1340.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And maybe they have homeless folks in Rome.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You know, they really don't.
They don't, no, I mean, Ihaven't seen it and I there was
we've done.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
I have not seen it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Well, there was one place where we did a podcast.
Remember that, ryan, we were,we were, we.
We ordered these alcoholicbeverages, these fruity
alcoholic beverages, on thiscorner.
One day we were doing thepodcast, the middle of the day
with jody and and uh, with danis that where you found those
odd cigars?
Yes yes okay, and thoseremember there was a whole row
(08:33):
of people sleeping on thatsidewalk that was.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That's right, that's right.
I remember that.
Yeah, that's the only thingI've ever seen, right I?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
forgot about that you know, over here they uh, from
what I understand.
Understand you have to takecare.
People take care of theirfamilies.
Yes, it's kind of a shame forthe family to have anyone on the
street and people havecompassion and there's.
You know you kind of have totake care of your family over
here they don't want to see thepeople.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
I think that's exactly the reason that we have
homeless in America.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's a big part of it , the breakdown.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
People don't have a place to go home to.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Well, and I will tell you, in Bologna I had a few
people come up to me and beg formoney.
But the other thing that wasdriving me crazy is these guys
with arms full of like earbudsand chargers and that kind of
stuff, and trying to sell youstuff on the street and they all
looked like they were out ofBangladesh or somewhere, like
(09:28):
they weren't Italian guys, so Idon't know what was going on
there.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
I saw that all the time.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And they tell you, you know, ignore them.
Don't even look at them.
Or just wave them off, orwhatever.
You really I had a couple oftimes say no.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
That happened in Greece when I went to greece.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Yeah, I think that the nicer the places the more
protected.
It is too, I mean.
So you don't see trash here,because they don't want this to
be right.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
They want this to be very clean because I always
thought, oh, why don't you getin Switzerland?
It's like really no.
I can't hear you, I know, but Ican't have a blank spot.
So once you get, I always heardwhen you're in Italy it's like
dirty, or the trains are dirtyand shut up.
I'm sorry.
And then, once you get toSwitzerland, it's like
(10:21):
everything's clean, yes, but Ithink this is fricking beautiful
, it is, it is.
Like where's a trash can aroundhere?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, everything's been cleaned.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I know, isn't this weird?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, I mean I could live here, but I couldn't.
Even the language is clean.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, but that was another thing I noticed too,
having trouble finding a trashcan.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Do you speak Italian and that sounds.
It's counterproductive.
How do you know they're notcursing?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They could be going.
These people are Americans.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
You just had an A.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I can see you, izzy, I know every curse word in every
language and I haven't heard ithere.
Oh really no, I'm just sayingthat.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh, I was going to have you give us a few examples,
no, I can't, I give Japanese acouple of Italian curse words
Because there's no curse wordsin Japanese If you guys want to
see a place that's clean.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Martina Franca, Where's?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
that when we stayed last year.
Do we have to take a train?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Oh, it's just.
I mean it's marble-y stony allthe way up, it's all lit up it
literally looks like they moppedtheir streets, streets is that
where the white streets?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
were.
We were talking about the plazayes, not the all white.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
That was the, that was white city well, no, no, no,
the place, no, really whitecity is incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
All the buildings are white, the sidewalks, the
stones you can't have that inthe united states.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
White the sidewalks, the stones.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Did you see the guy with the blower ahead of the
street sweeper Mm, that was-.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
What.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
What there?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
was a guy with a blower and he was blowing stuff
from the sidewalk into thestreet.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Ah, so he could sweep it up.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
He's blowing it off the street.
No, no, he was cleaning.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It was like a Pac-Man game.
I walked down two blocks to getcoffee and everybody was
scrubbing the front of their thehole with soap and rinsing it
with water.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
That's what I said Couldn't do that because they
were worried about rinsing thesoap into the groundwater.
Well, that's what they weredoing.
Couldn't do that at all.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
They really wanted it clean yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
We were standing yesterday coming back from
someone's Chiquiterre,Chiquiterre.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Chiquiterre.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
We took the train for a little bit.
Yes, and they got thesehigh-powered, these high-speed
trains, man, and this issomething you would never see in
California.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
What about the high-speed train?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Certainly you're not seeing that high-speed train in
California, as we know Anyhow.
That's a very good point,shelly, thank you.
In california, as we knowanyhow.
That's a very good point,shelly, thank you.
But uh, but this is like youwould never have this in
california, like if you'rewaiting for this train, you go
into this like what, is it atrain tunnel?
Yeah and these things are.
I don't know how fast thesetrains are going, uh 150 miles
(13:19):
an hour at least through thattunnel yeah, it's slow yeah but
they get up over 200.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
they get up over 200 miles 200 miles an hour.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, there's no honking right.
And they say, well, stay behindthe yellow line.
Well, first of all, as danpointed out, the what yellow
line?
The yellow line is literallyfaded away, except for in
certain little spots, and youcan't tell me they don't have
the budget to, you know, paint ayellow line.
If they don't have the budgetto paint a yellow line, man, I
don't know what's happening.
But it's terrifying.
When you're standing in thereand that train comes through,
(13:49):
even if you're against the wall,it feels like it's sucking you
out onto the track.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Well, it's hitting that tunnel and just pushing all
that air right.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
It's called physics.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
my dear, you have to hold on to your hat, because
when it goes by, oh yeah yeah,did anyone else catch my?
Great.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I saw the great cat did you see my catch yesterday.

Your instincts just kicked in.
He was a shortstop, he grabbedit.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah, he was a shortstop and everyone you know
he got it Start clapping.
No one made the run, but it wasan amazing game.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
No one was on base, he made the double play.
The catch was so good.
The A's tried to sign him, buthe signed up.

Speaker 7 (15:19):
God, it was our group .
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I know, but it was our group and that guy was so
happy with his hat.
God, now I get to think it was.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Oh, dude, if my Joe Marty hat blew off and you
caught it.
I would be eternally thankful.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
That would have been no relationship, because I don't
think you can get those anymore.

Right the Joe.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Marty.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
Shelly gives me like a little cute pat.
Maybe I'll buy that sweater formyself.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
I know, you know what .
It's just so beautiful and it'scotton and cashmere See.
Speaker 2 (18:30):

expectations of what you might see.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing David Right.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well different, david , I don't blame her.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
We'll call different David, it's so you know, it's
some marvel thing.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
No, but it's not just that, it's some marvel.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
When you see David, by the way, you'll marvel at the
size of his hands versus thesize of his manliness.
Yes, yes, it just doesn't mesh,and I love hands.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
I know you've always looked at hands.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
It blows that whole theory up a lot and I love hands
.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
I know you always look at hands.
It blows that whole theory outof you.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
He has enormous hands .
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'll just say that I think it's more of the fact of
being in Florence.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I'm going to bring this back to.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
To what David, david, david Sure.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
You know, it's more of the fact of being in Florence
, where you've seen pictures andyou've heard about it but never
been there, right, right.
And so many people go toFlorence.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
And Rome, but so many go to.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Florence.
I'd rather go to Florence.
Yes, because of the leatherquality.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yeah, Right, yeah, well, and I think that it seems
like it's I'm getting leatherchaps, it's still.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Hey now, ooh, okay, she didn't want me to mention
her new blouse, but openly willtell you she's wearing leather
chaps.
Please tell us more.
Yes, yes, will you be?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
wearing those around.
It'll heat you, breathe well ohthere we go.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
That's a good excuse.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
So what about whiskey and ice cream?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Oh, fantastic.
Oh, I discovered a new desserttonight.
Whiskey, thanks to Steve.
Yes, it was incredible.
I can't believe those twothings go together so well,
affogato.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Affogato with whiskey is what it is.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Affogato.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Affogato yes.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So that's typically ice cream with a little bit of
coffee, is it's an affogato?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And here they have it with whiskey Fantastic, whiskey
is a better choice.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I think you put a little port wine over that ice
cream Might even be just as good.
I don't know, there's so manydifferent flavors of alcohol you
can add to your ice cream now.
It's just opened up so many newdimensions.
That's true.
How to perceive ice cream.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know, when you see Florence, you're going to be
blown away.
You're just going to look atthat and go.
I remember seeing Florence andthinking wow, this is.
You can really tell you're notin America when you see Florence
.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
There's a few places right, like whoa look at this.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It just looks so different than anything you see
in America and it's huge, butit's a fascinating city.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Here it's.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, yeah.
I want to say it's about thereal statue of David.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
My foot size is 10 oh , is that right can you imagine
someone went in there years agoI don't know, it was 40 or 50
years ago going in to look atthe statue of David and brings
in a hammer and starts smashingthe toes off of this thing?
Sorry, breaking the toes off ofMichael huh no, no, it's true
(21:50):
and the crowd subdued this guybefore the police could even get
to him.
They're just mobbed him.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
He's just in there, he's in a protest he starts
smashing so if you look at thestatue, you'll see where he got
it.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
You see the Sistine Chapel.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
It's incredible, you go into the Sistine Chapel and
it's, it's tight, it's small.
You look up.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Very compact.
Yeah, Everyone stands there andyou gotta look up.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh my gosh, it's incredible to see that.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
But they pack them in man In addition to enjoying the
work of Michelangelo on theceiling.
In my mind, it would also go to.
You know, this is where theCardinals get locked in to pick
a new Pope, like that's amazingto me, that's their meeting room
well, they're in that processas we speak, I believe.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
He hasn't passed no he hasn't died yet.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I thought Pope died.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
No, he got released from the hospital Doing better
it was news right before we left, it flashed up that he had
passed.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Oh, really so that was interesting.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Oh, so you got a false report that he died.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, it was a false report.
I don't know if it was a falsereport that he died.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
Yeah, it was a false report.
I don't know if it was a falsereport, I just Look it up.

Just to the outside.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Oh, that's right, you didn't go in.
How did you?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know, because I signed up for the trip just a
month in advance and the Vaticanhad instituted some new
security.
They needed all yourinformation at least 60 days in
advance.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
That's why I didn't go too.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Now Ken tried but it didn't work out.
But I ended up with our tourguide on that trip, leah all to
myself in St Peter's Squaregoing this is this, this is this
, this is this, this is this.
For half an hour.
And then she said go on yourown down this street past the
Vatican that Mussolini built andsee how beautiful it is.
(25:16):
And she was right.
But the thing I honed in on,because I tune into these things
, is that's the chimney wherethe smoke comes out.
And she says yep, sure is.
And they all sit in the squarewhen the Pope's dead they all
sit in the square during theconclave and they wait to watch
that smoke come out of thatchimney.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, and if it's black.

No more low pressure showers.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Low water flow showers.

The hotels have like and you'reright, dan, it's not even like
a half a shower.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
It's not half a shower.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I looked at it this morning, fuck that Well, they
have half showers and thenalmost everywhere you go there's
no toilet seats.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Oh, you get the public restrooms?
Yeah, but today in.
Speaker 2 (27:08):

with no seats and it just.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well, they're everywhere.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
The first thing I think is oh, the poor women.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That's so disrespectful to women.
You've got to be kidding me,man, but I saw one that was
respectful for men actually,Because the last restaurant, or
did you hover?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
The toilet seat actually was spring-loaded, so
you put it down, you sit on it,but if you stand up, it
automatically springs, it'sautomatically for men because
you don't have to push it down,because it's spring, loads up.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
It's in the opposition all the time, unless
you sit on.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
That's cuz you know, you just didn't learn.
Always put the seat down.
The same place you can get abidet, the same place you ate.

wrong side of World War II Atfirst, at first, at first right.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
They came around, they came around and then they

Yeah, that's right, that'sright.
You know you got to resort to.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
It turns men into bathers.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Half wall, half wall.
I remember when the wall fell.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I just wanted to say something, too, about Marco.
Marco was our liaison on thistrip, yeah, and this guy has
gone out of his way toaccommodate us, and with just
first class, like yesterday wasa lunch right up at the
(31:33):
Chiquiterre right, yeah, it wasVernazza.
And and as we're going by onthis boat and I know, dan,
you're thinking like, oh my god,this has got to be the greatest
place to eat we looked up thereand there was people eating in
this most incredible spot andyou're like, well, that's gonna
be the best place to eat, right?
(31:53):
you were telling deb yeah yourwife yep and next thing you know

(32:13):
Mediterranean right, theMediterranean.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
Or is it the Mediterranean?
Ligurian Sea?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I've got it right here it's Ligurian Sea.

Yes, thank you.
Yeah, no, I had to look it up.
Is that confused, did you ever?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Ligurian Sea.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, no, I had to guess that.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
That confused me.
Did you ever think you'd be tothe Ligurian?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Sea, ligura, or is it Ligura or Ligure, ligure,
ligure, no, who would havethought.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Emphasis on the first syllable yeah, do these seas
join, like all of a sudden,they're okay, well, well,
there's the Gurren, you see, andthen, oh, it joins up with the
Mediterranean, like whatever youtake pictures of there's a buoy
.
That's it.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
It is all connected you could
Speaker 2 (32:53):
swim in two different seas at the same time yeah.
See this.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
So, pat back on your point about Marco.
Yeah, also our last tour guide,leah fantastic, oh, no doubt.
So I gotta say I gotta get ashout out skin.
Yeah, establishing theserelationships out here, that's I
mean, that's what he doesconservative tourism, and also
me to talk to.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Lorenzo was also great, and Bernie, who was our,
who was our liaison in Irelandoh, what a sweetheart.
These people are fantastic.
You know, you come on one ofthese trips and you know I'm
just going to say it if you, youknow I'm doing these ads on my
radio show and I'm alwaystelling you, you know about this
(33:40):
great group of people that wehave this Pats Peeps group that
goes with conservative tours andwe meet all these people and
it's funny because you becomefriends with a lot of them.
After the group is left we comeback and now they get together.
Still they go off.
You know, they just visit eachother.
We just make new friends.
Um, so you know, if you didn'tmake, if you were not able to
(34:02):
make this trip, we're also goingto do another trip in late
October, into November, thebeginning of November, in Sicily
.
And just on this group, in thelast couple of days I've heard
several people say, hey, youknow what, we're going to go to
Sicily too.
We're going because we justwant to go do this again, and so
you know that's something andjust go to conservative tours.
(34:24):
Hopefully they have my name upon that trip out there.
They didn't have it up there fora while.
But you know, just make sure ifyou, if you are thinking about
it, to go to the Pat's to uh, tothe Pat Walsh uh trip to Sicily
in late October, like I said.
So, uh, I'm really lookingforward to that because we're
going to go see part of this isgoing to be going to see the
(34:45):
Godfather tour, which I'm reallylooking forward to.
We're all the guys you knowsome of the locales from that.
The Godfather was shot.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
But I understand, sicily is just gorgeous gorgeous
, and last time I looked I'mpretty sure your name was on it
on the website.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Oh, was it OK good.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
Conservativetourscom right, yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I want to go.
I really want to go.
I don't know if I can pull itoff and you know the Godfather,
yeah, and that series is myall-time favorite and I always
remind people it is still, aftermore than 50 years, the only
film and its sequel both to winthe Best Picture Oscar, so
(35:24):
that's an accomplishment in andof itself.
If you ever saw the offer onParamount Plus a 10-part series
about making it, the stuff theywent through.
The fact that that first filmwas ever made was unreal.
It should never have made it totheaters at all.
There were so many things thatwent wrong or problems they had
(35:44):
or money, See.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
I like the inside information.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
We should watch the offer on Paramount+.
It was terrific.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Well, I don't have Paramount+.
I'll give you my password, youhear that Paramount+.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
you can have my password at Paramount+, but I
would love to see thoselocations.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, right it wasn't like.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
They went to Corleone and the local mob boss.
They wanted the entire budgetof what they had for the
Corleone shoot just to greasethe local mafioso.
So they packed up and snuck outof town and went to the next
town over and actually filmed itthere.
Oh really.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
I heard that the making of it was interesting.
I see and I think the behindthe scenes is fascinating.
Love that stuff.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Yeah absolutely, or like the scene with.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Pacino with the gun taped behind the tank of the
toilet.
Coppola had him move where theytaped it so that he couldn't
find it while they were filmingand it made him nervous.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Because Pacino was nervous, he was young and he was
scared, he was, you know, he'sa stage actor.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
He'd never done anything like this before.
They moved the location wherethey taped the gun to freak out
Pacino.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
It came out beautifully.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
The cat in the first scene where he's Buona sera
buona sera.
What have I ever done to makeyou treat me so disrespectfully?
The Undertaker.
That cat was just a cat thatwandered onto the set, jumped in
Brando's lap he was playingwith it.
In the scene the cat's an icon.
Shows up in the movie posterShows up in the movie poster.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
That's great, that cat was supposed to be nowhere
near that film Cats always showup in the, so both of those, the
one and two, won Best.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Both of them Best for Oscar.
So okay you've seen the trilogy.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
All three of them.
I have not seen the last one,but I'm going to ask you your
opinion on the first two.
The first two movies.
Have you seen them?
Yeah, it's been a while.
Yeah, it's been a while Seenthem yeah.
What's your favorite?
Speaker 4 (37:45):
the first or the second?
The first one, but the secondone is great.
Are we asking me about thethird one?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Do you need a setup?
No, I have no reference to it.
Yeah, we don't have time, okay,so here's the thing about the
third one.
Yeah, there's of time folks.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Thank you for joining Padspeak.
No, the third one was not wellreceived at first and I could
see why.
But it's grown on me over theyears.
This features a cameo by theway of former California
Assembly Speaker Willie Brown asa friend of the family, another
(38:25):
reason I won't be seeing it,that's conservativetourscom.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Conservativetourscom.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
We all thought Willie Brown was crooked, and then
he's chummy with the mobsters,so it makes perfect sense.
Actually Is Kamala with him?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
No, no, but the first two were fabulous.
Which is the best?
The first two.
Let's get into the first two.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
The first two were fabulous.
You can't see her.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Which is the best?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
The third one has grown on me and he recut it into
what they call the Godfather.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
Coda.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
And it's a little better that way.
Oh, I really really love thefirst one.
But they're such great Likewhen they go to Tahoe.
In the second one, that's theold Henry J Kaiser estate that's
still there.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
That was my summer favorite.
Two is your favorite, I lovedthe whole Tahoe.
Yeah, that was my favorite.
What about you, gabe?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
It's been a long time , but I'd say the first one
probably still resonates with meyeah, have you seen it, shelly,
that's what I remember at first.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
I like.
Animal House Everyone told me Ilike Animal House.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Was it over when the Germans bombed.
Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
No, I'm just trying to you know switch it up.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
I didn't care for number two that much.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
What.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
No, I kept fast forwarding through it.
I'm like you know what?
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Oh, don't no I did.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
It's just too much To me.
It was just all over the place.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Oh, with the flashing back.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, and it was too much celebration people
celebrating, I'm like just getto it.
Whereas the first one with AvaGoda, with the characters in
there, I always knew through thewhole movie, exactly what's
happening.
It was sunny with everyone inthere.
I knew exactly what's happening?
The next part.
The next part, it kind offlowed better for me.
The next one was they're here,they're there, they're Tahoe,
(40:08):
they're, you know, they're inSicily, they're all over the and
I couldn't believe that.
I don't know how long that hewas in the country before he
meets this girl and marries her.
I'm like what?
Two days.
I'm like you're married andthere's a gigantic, so he there
for months.
It just it was, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I didn't like it nearly as much as the first one.
You read the book, I've readthe book, the book.
There's a lot more about JohnnyFontaine and his family in the
book that just no room.
In a two and a half hour filmthere was no room for that
Johnny.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
Fontaine was great.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
But Al Martino was fantastic and he reappears, and
see Godfather 3.
There was a lot of fan servicestuff too, like they brought
back Johnny Fontaine, you know,and that sort of thing.
I'll find you a cut where it'sactually all in chronological
order.
So it starts with Vito, youknow the early years, and then
(40:56):
they move along from there.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
So that'll help.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
So, anyhow, all of that came out because we're
going to go to Sicily.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
So if you're thinking about that.
That would be a great trip.
I'm looking forward to that.
Anyhow, I just want to say getthis great group of people
together.
Everyone's having a good time.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
It's a great time.
I noticed when we got on theship to go to Portofino that all
the people from conservativecrews got on the right side of
the ship.
Oh, is that right?
Surely leans right.
Is that right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Have you been to Rome ?
I have yeah, you've seen thegraffiti all over the walls all
over the city, except theVatican.
That's on the liberal toursgroup.
They go around the town on thebus and then they stop and they
hand out spray cans at night.
Speaker 7 (41:44):
It's on the liberal tours you might want to check
that one out too.
They tax the citizens.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Oh, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
So, uh, purple and the cleanup, and it's just like
it's a lovely color the graffitiwhen we yeah we're still hot,
but graffiti when we were invernonza or whatever, and we go.

and green and it's not likeblack and they're doing you know

say I just didn't see the Elonbar or the Nazi part it was like
pretty graffiti.

art than gang art.
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Yes, it was pretty and it had like very lovely.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
I've never heard anyone described graffiti in
that way before, as pretty If Iget to a certain side of Milan.

in Bologna it was ugly on.
You're going to see the uglygraffiti and where I stayed in
Bologna it was ugly graffiti.

on a really lovely fun note andend it with a song Pat's Peeps
