Well, first of all, we really need to address the
elephant in the room here. My hair is back to
my natural color, and I think people are going to
really like know we're related this time. I know people
didn't before, and I think that was the problem.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
You've never had this color ever, It's always been like blondish.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I've been dyeing my hair blonde since what freshman year
of high school?

you know, a little guinny and a little bit goud.

guys from growing up Italian Sabino and Racca. What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
How's it goes?

So, ladies, thanks for having us.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Thanks for having us, absolutely absolutely so. Cousins from Brooklyn,
How did you get started? Howd growing up Italian you
get started? What was the idea to me?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I know you love seeing the story.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
It's my first time saying that. So yeah, Basically, we
have a group chat with all of our cousins and
we always send like memes, funny videos, and one day
Rock Oh, my sister, they had this idea to start
like a social media page where they kind of shared
these memes and videos and we felt we weren't represented,
(02:57):
like the videos and pictures we were sending thing we
didn't see him on social media like that, So yeah,
we started. They started posting and then two years later
it was kind of anonymous. Ye, we started the podcast
and we decided to do it together. And it's been
eight years, you know, a lot of ups and downs.
We've not skipped one step. Like the first episode, we
(03:20):
didn't know what we were doing.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
It was just yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
We just literally like plugged the mics into a laptop
and thought it was just like Boom podcasts.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
But we learned, you know, the hard way.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
And credits to Rocco because he learned everything through YouTube,
you know, in Google, and thank god we.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Have Chagibt now.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
And yeah, we started off a level negative one, not
even level zero. So it's been eight years and we've
had a lot of good moments and through consistency we
are where we are today.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, millions of followers. That's so awesome. They did a
live for twelve hours when they hit a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I know because I literally found your account when I
was in high school and I was like probably like
almost like eight years ago. No, no, no, no, I
can follow you guys for at least like five years.
So I'd like to say I'm a loyal follower. Yes,
when I found I was having you guys on I
was like, literally, no one like relates to our family
like your guys' accounts, Like we're always like sending your
guys' content in our family group chats now. So it's
(04:22):
so funny, Like that's how it started for you guys.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And it's so funny because I share your content at
least a couple of times a week, and I look
back at my like archives and I'm like, growing up
Italians on my feed more than I post like regular
content on the podcast. It's all Italian, you know, we're
all Yeah, So what gives you, like the motivation to continue?
(04:46):
You know, you've been through a lot through all this process.
How do you go through it all?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Well, that's a great question.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
I don't know, when you love something, you don't really
treat it as a chore, you know what I mean.
Like we're cousins, we're having fun making content. We do
a podcast. It's like we're hanging out. And if we
could introduce the world to another Italian American or just
somebody loves the Italian culture through our podcast or through
a post sharing Nonna's recipe, ye, just the beautiful things
that we grew up doing and sharing that to the world.
So the next generation could do it. It's very fulfilling,
(05:13):
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I love that and I think and I think what
makes us special versus like a lot of other people
that do what we're doing, is that there's a need
for this bridge from Italy to the Italian Americans. So
through this work, like we've been working with a lot
of people in Italy and a lot of poor people here.
So I think it's like also very fulfilling, like we're
(05:35):
doing something that we love, but there's also like a
need for it, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So yeah, I agree because you know, you post like
the travel videos and it's in collaboration with you guys,
and I'm like, oh my god, Like this is opening
up us to these beautiful places in Italy where to go,
what to see, right, and then them to this audience
in America that they wouldn't be able to tap into
without you guys. There's so much there that you could
that both sides benefit for sure. Speaking of none as
(06:00):
recipes and all the things you're passing down, do you
get a ton of d ms? Do people like DM
you and say hey can you post this I saw
this somewhere?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Or too many DM it's crazy you should charge for
dms and I want to complain.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
We get like m I mean on our personals. I
know I get like a lot too, but Grandpa's tent.
We came and keep up with the amount of DM.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Humbly speaking, it's not it's just a lot of inquiries. Obviously,
a lot of people will please post me and it's
like a video that I've seen a thousand times, respectfully,
like yeah, you know, just keeping up with what's fresh,
you know, social media is like what's fresh and new, right,
I just want to keep with the time of.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Inquiries, to be on the pod, to get like at
least five a.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Day, that's amazing, And I love. What I love is
you bring other Italians into the mix, and you have
your characters on as well, which I love, like the
Avengers exactly. Oh I know, yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Because she's not kidding what she says. She posts her content.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Anytime, and it's because I'm Italian and I want people
to know that. Like our show isn't as Italian. We're
more commercial on the pop end, but I love like
when I get an Italian on so I can be myself.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
You know, you could tell it like you're like a hermit.
Sometimes you just want to let it out.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Being in.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
The woods like that, you get a little crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I run for Sunday dinner every time we have Italians
on our podcast, where like you guys have to come
over for Sunday dinner. I think we should like a
big Sunday dinner like Italian guys.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
You're going to have to come to us because people
are You're not gonna convince people to beautiful people will
send the helicopter.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
With the Italian flag. It's not that bad.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
I just saw my zeo there and I went for
the first time in a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
What the hell brought you up here? It's been a
long time.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I had fifteen years family.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
We say, it's you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I mean, the House of Christ.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
High three hours late.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's not that bad. You just because you don't know
how we roll up there? We are right, we are the.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
How do you guys roll up well?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Because we are the whole town. I mean we're glamorous.
Everybody up there's like natural.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Brand deals with all of our local businesses. Everyone's like,
what are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Like we have one brand deal with this company that's awesome.
It's like a grassroots like store. You know, it's called Adams.
We love them. They're great bottom. But it's it is
funny because we're these guineas that should probably be celebrating
San Gennaro if you guys on a float, which we're doing,
by the way, we gotta do it. But here we
are at this grassroots store like with a herbalist, and
(08:40):
it's just.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
River dressed to the nines. We're like, come grocery shops is.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, there's like seventeen people that come.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I think you can literally do a float every day.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I've been on tons of floats and I'm telling them
the queen of floats there, but I haven't done so
to narrow. I gotta go do it.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
We gotta address something else in the room. Why do
you love floats so much?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
You mentioned she brought you just want to be like
the center attention.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I just feel like we are the Italian princesses of.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
In New York City and really make sure. I think
also like in our town in Poughkeepsie, like it, there
is a little Italy in our town.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
There is and used to be full of Italians, and
it really was great. We used to do this big
celebration called First Friday. Is a lot of Italian people
and stuff like that. We used to do the marketing.
Three thousand people came for that. That's good, that's good,
But that that was all the town could offer. There's
just not that many people there. You know. It's not
New York City. But I did marketing in the town
for a long time, and I'm ready to move on
to the city. I'm ready to come down. I think
(09:47):
I'm moving to Jersey.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So that's a big step.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But a lot of people are like, I feel like
everyone's Italian and Jersey especially. We're looking like.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I want to be around my people.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Look you too, You're like, oh, I'm going over.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
So far off. I know a girl from Franklin.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's a little far okay, how where do we have
to be.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I just know it's an expensive uba and I stay
away tat you know, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Franklin Lakes is far from where we are. One hundred
and fifty.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Car It'll be good.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Budget makes a good money.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
The city does better. We got lucky. We cornered the market.
That's a corner. Some market the coming yea as long
as we got the Italian flag, you got the float,
I got the cops.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Oh my god, you guys are crazy, but truly, you
know what's been your favorite part of the journey so far?
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Just meeting people at you guys, you know, we're meeting
like minded individuals, meeting people we never never would have
crossed passed with, and helping them give their own platform,
like giving them a platform to showcase what they're about,
and you know, learning from us. It's all about net
working in this life, you know what I mean. Sometimes
podcasting isn't about this, it's what comes after.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
This, That's right.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
So I think that's worth more than the show itself.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
One hundred percent. So what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
We want to go? What do you want to go?
You want to go after Let's.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Go to Italy and let's do a deal with uh
you know it Rome printed with Italy.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
That Italy We're coming send the car different all right?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Wait, so you guys are family working together. I mean,
we know what it's like to work with it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We do got it.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh yeah, we definitely know how to draw a line.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You know, the more we've done it, we separate it.
She's always always late, and she doesn't like it when
I'm on time, she's late. So no, not a friending cycle.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
No, we're are you like respectfully late or like fifteen
minutes or is it like today?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
No, no, like ten minutes terribly late?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Background, No, you're never terribly no, but it's just still
that's ten minutes is not doable. But I like to
I like to, you know, be like backed up like
thirty minutes. Every thirty minutes'ferent calls. I like to make moves.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
That's how I am.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
She booked up twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That's how I make moves. The only way to make
it happen. You know what I mean? Is lot going on?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, so have you guys had any any issues like working?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I mean, yeah, don't jiss problem.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Definitely beautiful.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know what I think it is too.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I think we like all provide something that's like a
little different because my sister is involved in the business too,
and we all provide something different. And I think we
really respect each other's work and we know where we excel,
and you know, we've we look at it like, yo,
we made it like we're making a living off doing
this ship. Yeah, like there's no reason to fight, honestly,
(12:40):
and we don't really like ever put the money first,
Like it's never a question about money, but just like
the impact we make in our community.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So I love that's what you know.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
This is my Italians the best because like it's always
family first, is like that's one thing.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah, I really love that. That's amazing. Did you have
am I when you first started or did it develop
over time?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I mean, I don't want to speak forever.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I think like if when we first started you told
me I was doing what I'm doing and met some
of the people I met, I would have said, oh,
I'm good, I'm set. I must be a jillionaire, you know,
because are the things we've done. But uh, you know,
we're always pushing for more, and like I think our
story is still going to go.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You know, we still got a.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Lot more to do.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Absolutely right now we met you guys, that's it. We're
going to hustle to the time.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Twenty million followers and thirty exactly.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
But this is the best, the best milestone right here though,
so far, this is fine.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You stop that.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I would like to meet Robert de Niro, but.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Right take a mess.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Oh my god, you guys are bad. So now that
you've gotten to this milestone, what's the next step with
your goals?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
I just I mean liked to say we checked a
lot of the boxes. But now it's like, I guess,
becoming more of a meaty enterprise in his own you
know what I mean. Just becoming this hub where all right,
you need something Italian or Italian American, you know where
to go.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Just providing that value to people as well.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Also say it is like making an impact like in
our neighborhood and in Italy too, because we come from
like a very small town in Italy and like you know,
my mayor, the mayor of the town talks to me
about helping do certain things like now we have like leverage.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
To help in Italy.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's what's like crazy to me, you know, like that
is doing stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Are you going to be taking trips out there? It's
growing up Italian.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I mean we go a lot. Yeah, we go a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
With other people though, like people that maybe can't afford
to go.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Or do We had we had a big talk the
other day with our two friends Mary and Joe, and
they're like when do we go in Italy and I'm like,
whenever you guys have the money for it, you know,
because I could go I know, he could go, bring
your credit card, we'll book it for we could go another.
(15:02):
But I mean we've had like conversations with like people
about hosting like tours and stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I know what you were saying loosely, loosely.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Loosely, I can see it.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And we're like in talks about doing like a live
format there.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So it would be funny to see you like talking
to Italian and you're like, what the hell are you
talking about? I know you know Italian, but you know
what I mean, There's so many things you could do there.
But that's so cool. I mean, you guys, have you
Oh yeah, I just got back. I've been eight times. Nice.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Nice, I love it.
Speaker 2 (15:33):

So you do marketing on the side and marketing yeah,
I've been doing marketing for twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So like, all right, you say you do marketing, Like.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, so I took a bank from six hundred and
forty five million to one point two billion as SVP
of marketing.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Okay, so now it's.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Real stuff stuff I tell you meant like you uh post.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Like post for a companies or something else.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So what I do? I did that.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Life flex right now.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
No, it's all life flex. Once a bank didn't want
to grow anymore, I wanted to do something else. I
actually started a show on the bank called Wake Up
with Ryan back Bank, and that show still got us
where we you know, grew through commercial lending and other
divisions of the bank. Anyway, after they didn't want to
go anymore, I wanted to do something bigger, and I
was like, I'm going to do this for myself. So
I kept the show, idea created this and it was
(19:35):
when podcasting first started. I already worked with iHeart for
twenty years because I did like I was like a
weekend jock for a long time, and they gave me
the platform. So I was like, all right, let's do this.
So you know, it's been an interesting ride, way different
than the bank, the.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Only Person podcast and a marketing company in the same month.

You, I know, but we do. We do marketing full
service for about twenty clients. So social radio, digital, TV, print.

do marketing, but really just floats though.

I do marketing.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, but you do it good and you put it
on video and show it. That's marketing today.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So it was a little different.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Though you do it the right way.
Speaker 4 (20:17):

It's so hard, you know. But I love what makes
you happy, you know, that's right, A little bit, a
little in bulk, a.
Speaker 2 (27:30):

food to a party?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Way too? We we always have like a lot of
extra everybody our family.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Like if there's ten people, there's enough for I'm not
even kidding, there's enough for like forty people. Everybody goes home.
But it's a gold plate. It's just it's like it's
honestly ridiculous. I understand that everybody complains about money, but
then like when it comes to eating right mountains.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Of food for no reason. Yeah, I know, it's like borderline.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
And then the best is we don't even eat the leftovers.
I don't even know where to go give them.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I feel the same. I never eat the leftover. My
husband's like, we had six hundred chicken cutlets and I
have one in.
Speaker 2 (28:06):

Speaker 1 (28:09):
What am I gonna eat one?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Like bad?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
I don't want to say bad thing, but we like
something with our families, like we always eat early, Like
when we do like a holiday, it's like two o'clock,
three o'clock, and we eat, and we eat quick, and
we're like done eating at four or five. Then we
linger to like eight or nine, and then by the
time I get home, like, oh shit, I'm hungry again.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You're starving at that, Brian, I'm.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Like, oh shit, Like I didn't even bring leftovers back,
you know, or you know they disappear.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, are you losing in the shuffle of getting in
your car.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I don't know how you guys do holidays, but my family,
when there's food, there's no courses. It's like our appetizer,
main course, dessert's coming out at the same time. There's
like no structure, which I'm I go to other families
houses and eat and I'm.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Like, wait, all right, they do salad.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
They don't know this is a big buffet.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
We have seventy five people for Christmas Eve, I mean.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
So yeah, we have about sixty seventy.
Speaker 2 (29:03):

for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Charge at the door.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Oh my god, we're profiting. It's SuperFect.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
You could get fifty exactly, you get fifty and they
all got to bring something, so that's right.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
And then if they don't come, we call him cheap box.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
They call him out the group fifty dollars. Yeah, family,
I feel like Christmas Eve, we literally have enough to
like do three Christmas Eves.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Agree and we can we give it all away?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You know, we should donate it this year.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
That would be like really good about you.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Once it's at home.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
You can't donate food. We've tried. Yeah, it's sad, all right.
Speaker 2 (29:40):

So being a Yeah, he has a very deep passion for.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Correcting people, all right, so said.
Speaker 4 (29:50):

Speaker 2 (29:54):
I want to say, like the most authentic way. So
how do you say it?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
How do you say it first? Because I'm gonna judge.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You, like that's how I can't roll, Like I can't really,
I'm just trying to meeting.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Say like you would say it, like if I'm like Mozrell,
Like okay, I don't like need some work, need some work.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Depends none failed my I'm like a chameleon when it
comes to model, like depends where I am, you know,
like if I'm in the deli, I say, yeah, I'm
morell yeah. So it's like I'm a chameleon when it
comes to situation.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
All right?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
So you though, yea and the family you don't think

Like there's a reason everyone tries to remake her recipes
and nothing tastes the same. Is that something that goes
on with your guys as family? No one can miss.

With our families, they don't write it down the reci.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
My mother's like put this in there and that and this.
I said, not, what the hell did you just do?
Speaker 5 (31:32):
It's like I think the sauce is like everybody's got it.
But they make a lot of homemade pasta, and for me,
the technique of making a homemade pasta is what's you
can't write that down?

Speaker 6 (38:28):
And her daughter is Francesco. Okay, nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (38:33):

You know, I'm thirty five now I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
It's like get something.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
New, Like all right, stop living in the past.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
So you guys who killed that, you killed game, you
killed it.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
You guys are awesome, and you know what I really
want to know, it's been a journey. I have two
more questions. What's been your most iconic moment.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Sitting on this podcast for you guys, that's number one.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Number two, I would say, and this is somebody who
we both really loved and unfortunately passed away recently, was
when we met Judge Frank DiCaprio. That was a moment
for us that was like, damn, we're really doing something
impactful and empowering to the community.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
Like the fact that he, like his team reached out
to us. They thought it was a good idea.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
And he's become like a dear friend. His sons were
nothing but so hospitable to us. So like guys like that.
You know, he obviously passed away recently, and we.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Showed us around Rhode Island.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
He like went above and beyond for us.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
So meeting somebody like that changes your perspective on life,
you know. So that to me is my number one
moment so far.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Yeah, that's actually a good answer.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
What about you?
Speaker 5 (39:43):
I mean that was really just add to that. Like
he showed us around Rhode Island, like we were in
Federal Hill and he's like a hometown hero. So everybody
was like rank, like who's mentioning?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Like, oh I did that thing? You know, Like yeah,
he was a hero.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
But that was a great moment and just it's like,
I mean, we made so many relationships and especially the
stuff in Italy we've done, it's all incredible. Like we're
friends with some of the biggest artists in Italy and
we've like seen them perform, and you going to Ramoo's
not my style. I wouldn't go even if they paid me.
(40:18):
That's the famous line in my friend's song. But you
win pop like a pop festival.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
I got more friends with the rappers than the pop stars.
But some of my friends do go on son Ramo.
It's a good thing, but not my thing. If they
paid me, maybe I will go, but it's gotta be
a nice Bag'd be like five figures all right.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
All right, all right, and then you can't afford to
bring your friends to go.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Maybe I could bring one. I mean, you got to
bank something, that's.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Right, And you know we didn't touch on this, so
I just wanted to bring it up. I want to
know more about your shop. Where can people find because
I think it's important for people to know they can
come see you anytime. Right, you're always there.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
You're not gonna find me there, but yeah, you could.
You could come to any and some I am there,
you know, whenever I'm not recording.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
It runs itself.
Speaker 5 (41:13):
It runs itself with my dad and sister there a lot,
and we have a great team and we've been there
for thirty years. So yeah, and we actually like use
it as our set, like to make a lot of contacts.
So yeah, and we got the fresh months at all.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
You guys.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
We couldn't have you guys from Poughkeepsie talking ship.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
This is not going to go well, why not a
plate or a knife?
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yeah, we need something to do this I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
We'll get home with your husband.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
I'm Italian. Hold on, let me just let me okay,
let me just take it. It's right off the press.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
I one time some guy pulled it out like this

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I've been dyeing my hair blonde since what freshman year

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Thanks for having us, absolutely absolutely so. Cousins from Brooklyn,
How did you get started? Howd growing up Italian you
get started? What was the idea to me?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I know you love seeing the story.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
It's my first time saying that. So yeah, Basically, we
have a group chat with all of our cousins and
we always send like memes, funny videos, and one day
Rock Oh, my sister, they had this idea to start
like a social media page where they kind of shared
these memes and videos and we felt we weren't represented,
(02:57):
like the videos and pictures we were sending thing we
didn't see him on social media like that, So yeah,
we started. They started posting and then two years later
it was kind of anonymous. Ye, we started the podcast
and we decided to do it together. And it's been
eight years, you know, a lot of ups and downs.
We've not skipped one step. Like the first episode, we
(03:20):
didn't know what we were doing.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
It was just yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
We just literally like plugged the mics into a laptop
and thought it was just like Boom podcasts.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
But we learned, you know, the hard way.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
And credits to Rocco because he learned everything through YouTube,
you know, in Google, and thank god we.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Have Chagibt now.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
And yeah, we started off a level negative one, not
even level zero. So it's been eight years and we've
had a lot of good moments and through consistency we
are where we are today.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, millions of followers. That's so awesome. They did a
live for twelve hours when they hit a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I know because I literally found your account when I
was in high school and I was like probably like
almost like eight years ago. No, no, no, no, I
can follow you guys for at least like five years.
So I'd like to say I'm a loyal follower. Yes,
when I found I was having you guys on I
was like, literally, no one like relates to our family
like your guys' accounts, Like we're always like sending your
guys' content in our family group chats now. So it's
(04:22):
so funny, Like that's how it started for you guys.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And it's so funny because I share your content at
least a couple of times a week, and I look
back at my like archives and I'm like, growing up
Italians on my feed more than I post like regular
content on the podcast. It's all Italian, you know, we're
all Yeah, So what gives you, like the motivation to continue?
(04:46):
You know, you've been through a lot through all this process.
How do you go through it all?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Well, that's a great question.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
I don't know, when you love something, you don't really
treat it as a chore, you know what I mean.
Like we're cousins, we're having fun making content. We do
a podcast. It's like we're hanging out. And if we
could introduce the world to another Italian American or just
somebody loves the Italian culture through our podcast or through
a post sharing Nonna's recipe, ye, just the beautiful things
that we grew up doing and sharing that to the world.
So the next generation could do it. It's very fulfilling,
(05:13):
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I love that and I think and I think what
makes us special versus like a lot of other people
that do what we're doing, is that there's a need
for this bridge from Italy to the Italian Americans. So
through this work, like we've been working with a lot
of people in Italy and a lot of poor people here.
So I think it's like also very fulfilling, like we're
(05:35):
doing something that we love, but there's also like a
need for it, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So yeah, I agree because you know, you post like
the travel videos and it's in collaboration with you guys,
and I'm like, oh my god, Like this is opening
up us to these beautiful places in Italy where to go,
what to see, right, and then them to this audience
in America that they wouldn't be able to tap into
without you guys. There's so much there that you could
that both sides benefit for sure. Speaking of none as
(06:00):
recipes and all the things you're passing down, do you
get a ton of d ms? Do people like DM
you and say hey can you post this I saw
this somewhere?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Or too many DM it's crazy you should charge for
dms and I want to complain.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
We get like m I mean on our personals. I
know I get like a lot too, but Grandpa's tent.
We came and keep up with the amount of DM.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Humbly speaking, it's not it's just a lot of inquiries. Obviously,
a lot of people will please post me and it's
like a video that I've seen a thousand times, respectfully,
like yeah, you know, just keeping up with what's fresh,
you know, social media is like what's fresh and new, right,
I just want to keep with the time of.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Inquiries, to be on the pod, to get like at
least five a.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Day, that's amazing, And I love. What I love is
you bring other Italians into the mix, and you have
your characters on as well, which I love, like the
Avengers exactly. Oh I know, yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Because she's not kidding what she says. She posts her content.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Anytime, and it's because I'm Italian and I want people
to know that. Like our show isn't as Italian. We're
more commercial on the pop end, but I love like
when I get an Italian on so I can be myself.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
You know, you could tell it like you're like a hermit.
Sometimes you just want to let it out.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Being in.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
The woods like that, you get a little crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I run for Sunday dinner every time we have Italians
on our podcast, where like you guys have to come
over for Sunday dinner. I think we should like a
big Sunday dinner like Italian guys.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
You're going to have to come to us because people
are You're not gonna convince people to beautiful people will
send the helicopter.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
With the Italian flag. It's not that bad.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
I just saw my zeo there and I went for
the first time in a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
What the hell brought you up here? It's been a
long time.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I had fifteen years family.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
We say, it's you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I mean, the House of Christ.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
High three hours late.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's not that bad. You just because you don't know
how we roll up there? We are right, we are the.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
How do you guys roll up well?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Because we are the whole town. I mean we're glamorous.
Everybody up there's like natural.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Brand deals with all of our local businesses. Everyone's like,
what are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Like we have one brand deal with this company that's awesome.
It's like a grassroots like store. You know, it's called Adams.
We love them. They're great bottom. But it's it is
funny because we're these guineas that should probably be celebrating
San Gennaro if you guys on a float, which we're doing,
by the way, we gotta do it. But here we
are at this grassroots store like with a herbalist, and
(08:40):
it's just.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
River dressed to the nines. We're like, come grocery shops is.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, there's like seventeen people that come.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I think you can literally do a float every day.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I've been on tons of floats and I'm telling them
the queen of floats there, but I haven't done so
to narrow. I gotta go do it.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
We gotta address something else in the room. Why do
you love floats so much?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
You mentioned she brought you just want to be like
the center attention.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I just feel like we are the Italian princesses of.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
In New York City and really make sure. I think
also like in our town in Poughkeepsie, like it, there
is a little Italy in our town.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
There is and used to be full of Italians, and
it really was great. We used to do this big
celebration called First Friday. Is a lot of Italian people
and stuff like that. We used to do the marketing.
Three thousand people came for that. That's good, that's good,
But that that was all the town could offer. There's
just not that many people there. You know. It's not
New York City. But I did marketing in the town
for a long time, and I'm ready to move on
to the city. I'm ready to come down. I think
(09:47):
I'm moving to Jersey.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So that's a big step.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But a lot of people are like, I feel like
everyone's Italian and Jersey especially. We're looking like.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I want to be around my people.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Look you too, You're like, oh, I'm going over.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
So far off. I know a girl from Franklin.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's a little far okay, how where do we have
to be.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I just know it's an expensive uba and I stay
away tat you know, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Franklin Lakes is far from where we are. One hundred
and fifty.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Car It'll be good.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Budget makes a good money.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
The city does better. We got lucky. We cornered the market.
That's a corner. Some market the coming yea as long
as we got the Italian flag, you got the float,
I got the cops.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Oh my god, you guys are crazy, but truly, you
know what's been your favorite part of the journey so far?
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Just meeting people at you guys, you know, we're meeting
like minded individuals, meeting people we never never would have
crossed passed with, and helping them give their own platform,
like giving them a platform to showcase what they're about,
and you know, learning from us. It's all about net
working in this life, you know what I mean. Sometimes
podcasting isn't about this, it's what comes after.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
This, That's right.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
So I think that's worth more than the show itself.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
One hundred percent. So what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
We want to go? What do you want to go?
You want to go after Let's.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Go to Italy and let's do a deal with uh
you know it Rome printed with Italy.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
That Italy We're coming send the car different all right?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Wait, so you guys are family working together. I mean,
we know what it's like to work with it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We do got it.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Oh yeah, we definitely know how to draw a line.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You know, the more we've done it, we separate it.
She's always always late, and she doesn't like it when
I'm on time, she's late. So no, not a friending cycle.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
No, we're are you like respectfully late or like fifteen
minutes or is it like today?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
No, no, like ten minutes terribly late?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Background, No, you're never terribly no, but it's just still
that's ten minutes is not doable. But I like to
I like to, you know, be like backed up like
thirty minutes. Every thirty minutes'ferent calls. I like to make moves.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
That's how I am.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
She booked up twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That's how I make moves. The only way to make
it happen. You know what I mean? Is lot going on?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, so have you guys had any any issues like working?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I mean, yeah, don't jiss problem.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Definitely beautiful.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know what I think it is too.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I think we like all provide something that's like a
little different because my sister is involved in the business too,
and we all provide something different. And I think we
really respect each other's work and we know where we excel,
and you know, we've we look at it like, yo,
we made it like we're making a living off doing
this ship. Yeah, like there's no reason to fight, honestly,
(12:40):
and we don't really like ever put the money first,
Like it's never a question about money, but just like
the impact we make in our community.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So I love that's what you know.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
This is my Italians the best because like it's always
family first, is like that's one thing.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah, I really love that. That's amazing. Did you have
am I when you first started or did it develop
over time?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I mean, I don't want to speak forever.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I think like if when we first started you told
me I was doing what I'm doing and met some
of the people I met, I would have said, oh,
I'm good, I'm set. I must be a jillionaire, you know,
because are the things we've done. But uh, you know,
we're always pushing for more, and like I think our
story is still going to go.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You know, we still got a.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Lot more to do.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Absolutely right now we met you guys, that's it. We're
going to hustle to the time.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Twenty million followers and thirty exactly.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
But this is the best, the best milestone right here though,
so far, this is fine.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You stop that.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I would like to meet Robert de Niro, but.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Right take a mess.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Oh my god, you guys are bad. So now that
you've gotten to this milestone, what's the next step with
your goals?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
I just I mean liked to say we checked a
lot of the boxes. But now it's like, I guess,
becoming more of a meaty enterprise in his own you
know what I mean. Just becoming this hub where all right,
you need something Italian or Italian American, you know where
to go.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Just providing that value to people as well.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Also say it is like making an impact like in
our neighborhood and in Italy too, because we come from
like a very small town in Italy and like you know,
my mayor, the mayor of the town talks to me
about helping do certain things like now we have like leverage.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
To help in Italy.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's what's like crazy to me, you know, like that
is doing stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Are you going to be taking trips out there? It's
growing up Italian.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I mean we go a lot. Yeah, we go a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
With other people though, like people that maybe can't afford
to go.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Or do We had we had a big talk the
other day with our two friends Mary and Joe, and
they're like when do we go in Italy and I'm like,
whenever you guys have the money for it, you know,
because I could go I know, he could go, bring
your credit card, we'll book it for we could go another.
(15:02):
But I mean we've had like conversations with like people
about hosting like tours and stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I know what you were saying loosely, loosely.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Loosely, I can see it.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And we're like in talks about doing like a live
format there.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So it would be funny to see you like talking
to Italian and you're like, what the hell are you
talking about? I know you know Italian, but you know
what I mean, There's so many things you could do there.
But that's so cool. I mean, you guys, have you

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Really, really really, that's such like a city thing that

Speaker 1 (18:30):
I feel like we're really city people.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I mean, do you feel like a city person?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I mean, not that far in Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Well, we have a few tall buildings.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah, you guys have three.
Speaker 1 (18:41):

Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You get a areal view of the town.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So you do marketing on the side and marketing yeah,
I've been doing marketing for twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So like, all right, you say you do marketing, Like.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, so I took a bank from six hundred and
forty five million to one point two billion as SVP
of marketing.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Okay, so now it's.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Real stuff stuff I tell you meant like you uh post.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Like post for a companies or something else.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So what I do? I did that.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Life flex right now.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
No, it's all life flex. Once a bank didn't want
to grow anymore, I wanted to do something else. I
actually started a show on the bank called Wake Up
with Ryan back Bank, and that show still got us
where we you know, grew through commercial lending and other
divisions of the bank. Anyway, after they didn't want to
go anymore, I wanted to do something bigger, and I
was like, I'm going to do this for myself. So
I kept the show, idea created this and it was
(19:35):
when podcasting first started. I already worked with iHeart for
twenty years because I did like I was like a
weekend jock for a long time, and they gave me
the platform. So I was like, all right, let's do this.
So you know, it's been an interesting ride, way different
than the bank, the.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Only Person podcast and a marketing company in the same month.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You, I know, but we do. We do marketing full
service for about twenty clients. So social radio, digital, TV, print.
It's wild.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Okay, you're the real deal everything because I say I
do marketing, but really just floats though.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I do marketing.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, but you do it good and you put it
on video and show it. That's marketing today.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So it was a little different.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Though you do it the right way.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
You're actual marketing.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
But I'm like, you know the way my dad says

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, I know it's hard though. I like to eat.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
I like to eat too, But it's like on Sunday
dinner and you're just thrown off, I know, from the
whole week.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It's so hard, you know. But I love what makes
you happy, you know, that's right, A little bit, a
little in bulk, a.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Little bit, all right. Who always brings way too much
food to a party?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Way too? We we always have like a lot of
extra everybody our family.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Like if there's ten people, there's enough for I'm not
even kidding, there's enough for like forty people. Everybody goes home.
But it's a gold plate. It's just it's like it's
honestly ridiculous. I understand that everybody complains about money, but
then like when it comes to eating right mountains.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Of food for no reason. Yeah, I know, it's like borderline.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
And then the best is we don't even eat the leftovers.
I don't even know where to go give them.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I feel the same. I never eat the leftover. My
husband's like, we had six hundred chicken cutlets and I
have one in.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
The fridge for.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
What am I gonna eat one?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Like bad?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
I don't want to say bad thing, but we like
something with our families, like we always eat early, Like
when we do like a holiday, it's like two o'clock,
three o'clock, and we eat, and we eat quick, and
we're like done eating at four or five. Then we
linger to like eight or nine, and then by the
time I get home, like, oh shit, I'm hungry again.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You're starving at that, Brian, I'm.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Like, oh shit, Like I didn't even bring leftovers back,
you know, or you know they disappear.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, are you losing in the shuffle of getting in
your car.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I don't know how you guys do holidays, but my family,
when there's food, there's no courses. It's like our appetizer,
main course, dessert's coming out at the same time. There's
like no structure, which I'm I go to other families
houses and eat and I'm.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Like, wait, all right, they do salad.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
They don't know this is a big buffet.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
We have seventy five people for Christmas Eve, I mean.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
So yeah, we have about sixty seventy.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Oh my god, guys, we could have an absolute rager
for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Charge at the door.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Oh my god, we're profiting. It's SuperFect.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
You could get fifty exactly, you get fifty and they
all got to bring something, so that's right.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
And then if they don't come, we call him cheap box.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
They call him out the group fifty dollars. Yeah, family,
I feel like Christmas Eve, we literally have enough to
like do three Christmas Eves.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Agree and we can we give it all away?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You know, we should donate it this year.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
That would be like really good about you.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Once it's at home.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
You can't donate food. We've tried. Yeah, it's sad, all right.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Who argues the loudest about how to pronounce Monzrell?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
So being a Yeah, he has a very deep passion for.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Correcting people, all right, so said.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
He's like one of those Karen Italians.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I want to say, like the most authentic way. So
how do you say it?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
How do you say it first? Because I'm gonna judge.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You, like that's how I can't roll, Like I can't really,
I'm just trying to meeting.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Say like you would say it, like if I'm like Mozrell,
Like okay, I don't like need some work, need some work.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Depends none failed my I'm like a chameleon when it
comes to model, like depends where I am, you know,
like if I'm in the deli, I say, yeah, I'm
morell yeah. So it's like I'm a chameleon when it
comes to situation.

All right, all right, I hear that.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
All right?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
So you though, yea and the family you don't think
that you have two different ways to say it's depending
on where you are, okay, all right? Who claims their
sauce recipe is the real family recipe?
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Being also okay, he's just picking's attacking.

Speaker 2 (38:33):

Speaker 3 (38:44):
New, Like all right, stop living in the past.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
So you guys who killed that, you killed game, you
killed it.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
You guys are awesome, and you know what I really
want to know, it's been a journey. I have two
more questions. What's been your most iconic moment.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Sitting on this podcast for you guys, that's number one.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Number two, I would say, and this is somebody who
we both really loved and unfortunately passed away recently, was
when we met Judge Frank DiCaprio. That was a moment
for us that was like, damn, we're really doing something
impactful and empowering to the community.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
Like the fact that he, like his team reached out
to us. They thought it was a good idea.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
And he's become like a dear friend. His sons were
nothing but so hospitable to us. So like guys like that.
You know, he obviously passed away recently, and we.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Showed us around Rhode Island.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
He like went above and beyond for us.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
So meeting somebody like that changes your perspective on life,
you know. So that to me is my number one
moment so far.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Yeah, that's actually a good answer.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
What about you?
Speaker 5 (39:43):
I mean that was really just add to that. Like
he showed us around Rhode Island, like we were in
Federal Hill and he's like a hometown hero. So everybody
was like rank, like who's mentioning?
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Like, oh I did that thing? You know, Like yeah,
he was a hero.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
But that was a great moment and just it's like,
I mean, we made so many relationships and especially the
stuff in Italy we've done, it's all incredible. Like we're
friends with some of the biggest artists in Italy and
we've like seen them perform, and you going to Ramoo's
not my style. I wouldn't go even if they paid me.
(40:18):
That's the famous line in my friend's song. But you
win pop like a pop festival.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
I got more friends with the rappers than the pop stars.
But some of my friends do go on son Ramo.
It's a good thing, but not my thing. If they
paid me, maybe I will go, but it's gotta be
a nice Bag'd be like five figures all right.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
All right, all right, and then you can't afford to
bring your friends to go.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Maybe I could bring one. I mean, you got to
bank something, that's.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Right, And you know we didn't touch on this, so
I just wanted to bring it up. I want to
know more about your shop. Where can people find because
I think it's important for people to know they can
come see you anytime. Right, you're always there.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
You're not gonna find me there, but yeah, you could.
You could come to any and some I am there,
you know, whenever I'm not recording.
