Speaker 6 (02:08):
I thought you would definitely go the other direction. This
place at the moment is a ship hole to me.
I mean trash just sitting around studio.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
I remember when I was like fourteen fifteen and I
was tired doing radio in Italy. I was listening to
one hundred and to you all the time, So you know,
this building to me is like radio history. Yes, you know,
I read the first time I came to New York
City in twenty fifteen with my mom. You know, it
was our first time year, so she wanted to do
(02:36):
all the touristic things, going to Top of the Rock
and party State Building, and I was like, I want
to take a picture from of the Z one hundred
building Alvis Duran Building.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:45):

a fan of radio.
Speaker 4 (03:06):

I mean, combined here in the room, we probably have
well over one hundred years of experience in American radio.
Speaker 4 (03:13):

So I have like a morning show, but only Saturday
and Sunday. So I want to ask you how difficult
it is to do like a four hours show, new
show every single day.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It's easy when you have fifteen people on it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You know, I think it would be much more challenging
if there was well Gandhi and I had come from
experience where there's only three or four people on a show, okay, yeah,
and it's much more challenging, challenging to do it that way.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
But with us, we have the luxury of how many
people on this show we have? Yeah, we do about
that amount, fourteen fifteen.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
But to add to that, you know, most people in radio,
a lot of radio shows are you know, you see
them all cutting to the chase. We do this live
in real time, four hours a day, every day, and
I guess do you guys do that in Italy?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah, we are definitely live. Yeah, so yeah, I'm losing
my voice. I'm I'm getting emotional. Yeah, in Italy we're
always live. And yeah maybe sometimes we record like interviews
when maybe artists can come on the weekend, but yeah,
(04:29):
always live. Sorry, I'm you're here.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You can do the show tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (04:36):
Are you allowed to curse on Italian radio?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
No?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I mean there's a thing in Italy this is very interesting.
We cannot say. I mean, I don't do it, but
from like a low point of view, you could say
curse words on the air. The only things that you
cannot say are you know, I know that here you
cannot say the F word on the radio.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Right here, right now. You can say.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Podcast so good, Yeah, Italy, we have that thing that
you cannot like. I don't know how to explain that.
The bad words about like God are something very very bad.
So blasphemy, yeah, blasphemy like in.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
General, he said, damn it.
Speaker 6 (05:23):

you cannot say it's a perfect rule. Okay, yeah, you
hate when we say it around?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Oh yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's worse than.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah, definitely, how do you say Italians? If you say
if you say like Katso on the air, maybe it's
not elegant, but you can definitely do it. Maybe you're
like your boss, your program director. It depends, you know,
radio station from radio station could say don't do that.
(05:56):
But you don't get in trouble if you say blasphemy
is it's like that thing can end your career.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
It's so bad.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
It's so bad.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah, and you shouldn't say them even in the street.
I mean so yeah, that is like the most dangerous
the most.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, okay, I have a question.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Have you heard the way people from New York and
New Jersey pronounce a lot of Italian words?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Unfortunately? Yes, insane? Yeah, I mean, first of all, which

Oh, Mario Mario, bro Mario Mario. Yeah, actually, Mario Mario
is a very common name.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
In Italy's pronounced Mario.
Speaker 9 (08:19):
Now it must be common here too, because I dated
a lot of about the cured me that the.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Super super it's not super sod.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Guys, if you want we can do. We can do
like a tutorio.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
I can say a few Italian the awards, and you
can try to pronounce like Supersta.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
This is very good. You can see what they can
do it.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
But the Italians in the room are the ones that
pronounce all the words correctly.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
You can in and I don't even know what what
are you? I'm a pole.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I don't know Italian American.

nuts and hides in a tree.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I don't know what is that.
Speaker 4 (09:11):

Speaker 3 (09:15):
We say much better.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
To squirrel.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
All right, let's do ask an Italian who wants to start.
Anybody have any questions for our fine Italian friends.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Ahead.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Okay, here's a question. Okay, do you have a home
I can use this coming somewhere. No, you could just
stay with the local. They'll show me around.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Yeah, I mean, how's gonna him hang out with you?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Hang hang out with you? You are already welcome whenever
you want.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
When we were talking before the podcast started, like favorite
places in Italy? Which place should I never visit in Italy?
Which place would you say? Don't go there? Because I
would say, and I love my teams from there, but
don't go to Detroit.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Just don't.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, sorry, you Detroit outside of Detroit.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
So first of all, I hope that this video will
never arrive in Italy, so they were probably so I
would say that my least favorite place of Italy is
probably Oh It's everything's beautifully if you had to pick
(10:28):
the Okay, I'm so sorry for all the friends from Tourino,
but I'm probably Tourino is my least favorite Italian city
because it's too similar.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
It's it's just like Milano when we.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
Get other countries, right, like if I go to England,
they do great Indian food and Chinese food. It's delicious.
So in Italy, other than the Italian food. Is there
another kind of food that is really good that maybe
we don't know about.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I would say Japanese food really yeah, yeah, but that's
a really cool thing because you said something that's that's right.
Because if you come to New York City, for example,
you're in in a big city and you can find
wherever you want, Chinese food, Pakistan, Turkish everything. In Italy,
of course, we have most of the restaurants are Italian.
(11:18):
Then we have Japanese food very popular in Italy. It's like,
I don't know here, but it's like, you're cool if
you go to a Japanese restaurant.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Probably some of the best rama I've ever had.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
And poke we were in Italy.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Pocus very pocus, very popular. I would say, everybody, we
are computer crash you okay, So yeah, pocus pocus very
popular in Italy. But yeah, we don't have like so
many Indians restaurants. Yeah, everyone loves Italian food.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
As an Italian coming to America, what was the most
shocking thing to you the first time you came here?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
I would say, and don't get me wrong, but friendships,
like for example, in Italy, uh, it's it's very common,
like to go outside and stay in for hours in
a restaurant like maybe, you know, I catch my friends
on Sunday afternoon and we meet like around three in
the afternoon and we stay together until midnight because we
(12:21):
do you know, we you know, afternoon together and then appetitivo,
which is very popular in Italy, and then dinner and
then maybe after we go grab some drinks.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Here's too much different.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Whenever I go out with my American friends, like here
in New York City, everything is more direct, like meet
at eight to eat something. We go there, we eat,
and and that's it's more yeah, you know, we call
it you remember that is enjoyed doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Well, now here too. On top of the fact that
everyone's just in a hurry. After COVID, they started implementing
time limits at restaurants, so you can only stay in
a lot of places for like ninety minutes because they
want you to get out and get the next people
in there.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
The coffee shop on the corner, I was in there
yesterday and it said this table is for patrons only,
twenty minute limit.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, no way, Yeah, that wouldn't fly in Italy.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Huh No, doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I mean most of the time when I go to
the restaurant, like a arrive at at seven and we
stayed there like until midnight.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Problem more problem More is venice sinking?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I think so it's been sinking for so many years.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
See it soon before it's too late.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You can still visiting. I think you can still be visited.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Man, over here, when you come to New York, do
you eat pizza with a fork and knife?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh my goodness, no, no, I tried to become a
New York.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
There.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Sometimes what you know what, because our pizza is much
different because here you have the lightest slice pizza and yeah,
you don't need fork. But like the pizza from Naples,
the Napolitan, the original Napolitan pizza is it's much bigger.
So you need four I mean you you yeah, because
there's and there's a lot of things on it, so
(14:24):
you cannot do back.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Home though, when you see people trying to fold it,
you're like, uh taurusts, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Is it true that you guys don't eat spaghetti and meatballs?
And that's that's so.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
True, that's so true. Yeah, and even pasta fai is
not that popular in Italy.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah here I am thinking Italians ate spaghetti and meat poles.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
No, no, we don't have I mean, I would say
the most common pastas in Italy are the ones from Rome.
So Carbonara Amatrichana, Grica, catcha paper. If you go to Rome,
you can go wherever in every single restaurant and you
will have the best carbonarow of your life. And yeah,
(15:06):
but there's a very I mean, have you uh do
you know that pisto the grim cells is originally from
my city in Italy? I was born in Genoa and

Speaker 2 (09:47):
When we were talking before the podcast started, like favorite
places in Italy? Which place should I never visit in Italy?
Which place would you say? Don't go there? Because I
would say, and I love my teams from there, but
don't go to Detroit.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Just don't.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, sorry, you Detroit outside of Detroit.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
So first of all, I hope that this video will
never arrive in Italy, so they were probably so I
would say that my least favorite place of Italy is
probably Oh It's everything's beautifully if you had to pick
(10:28):
the Okay, I'm so sorry for all the friends from Tourino,
but I'm probably Tourino is my least favorite Italian city
because it's too similar.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
It's it's just like Milano when we.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
Get other countries, right, like if I go to England,
they do great Indian food and Chinese food. It's delicious.
So in Italy, other than the Italian food. Is there
another kind of food that is really good that maybe
we don't know about.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I would say Japanese food really yeah, yeah, but that's
a really cool thing because you said something that's that's right.
Because if you come to New York City, for example,
you're in in a big city and you can find
wherever you want, Chinese food, Pakistan, Turkish everything. In Italy,
of course, we have most of the restaurants are Italian.
(11:18):
Then we have Japanese food very popular in Italy. It's like,
I don't know here, but it's like, you're cool if
you go to a Japanese restaurant.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Probably some of the best rama I've ever had.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
And poke we were in Italy.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Pocus very pocus, very popular. I would say, everybody, we
are computer crash you okay, So yeah, pocus pocus very
popular in Italy. But yeah, we don't have like so
many Indians restaurants. Yeah, everyone loves Italian food.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
As an Italian coming to America, what was the most
shocking thing to you the first time you came here?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
I would say, and don't get me wrong, but friendships,
like for example, in Italy, uh, it's it's very common,
like to go outside and stay in for hours in
a restaurant like maybe, you know, I catch my friends
on Sunday afternoon and we meet like around three in
the afternoon and we stay together until midnight because we
(12:21):
do you know, we you know, afternoon together and then appetitivo,
which is very popular in Italy, and then dinner and
then maybe after we go grab some drinks.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Here's too much different.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Whenever I go out with my American friends, like here
in New York City, everything is more direct, like meet
at eight to eat something. We go there, we eat,
and and that's it's more yeah, you know, we call
it you remember that is enjoyed doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Well, now here too. On top of the fact that
everyone's just in a hurry. After COVID, they started implementing
time limits at restaurants, so you can only stay in
a lot of places for like ninety minutes because they
want you to get out and get the next people
in there.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
The coffee shop on the corner, I was in there
yesterday and it said this table is for patrons only,
twenty minute limit.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, no way, Yeah, that wouldn't fly in Italy.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Huh No, doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I mean most of the time when I go to
the restaurant, like a arrive at at seven and we
stayed there like until midnight.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (13:33):

Man, over here, when you come to New York, do
you eat pizza with a fork and knife?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh my goodness, no, no, I tried to become a
New York.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
There.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Sometimes what you know what, because our pizza is much
different because here you have the lightest slice pizza and yeah,
you don't need fork. But like the pizza from Naples,
the Napolitan, the original Napolitan pizza is it's much bigger.
So you need four I mean you you yeah, because
there's and there's a lot of things on it, so
(14:24):
you cannot do back.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Home though, when you see people trying to fold it,
you're like, uh taurusts, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:31):

Speaker 3 (14:34):
True, that's so true. Yeah, and even pasta fai is
not that popular in Italy.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah here I am thinking Italians ate spaghetti and meat poles.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
No, no, we don't have I mean, I would say
the most common pastas in Italy are the ones from Rome.
So Carbonara Amatrichana, Grica, catcha paper. If you go to Rome,
you can go wherever in every single restaurant and you
will have the best carbonarow of your life. And yeah,
