Speaker 1 (07:08):
Zonakatella, It's on wherever they have, Hey, whatever, what is it,
eight eighty seven South Anaheim Boulevard. You know you can

That's what I would do.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I've already forgotten the address, and it was just told me.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
To tell it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
You have ways, You're good to go.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Come on by and I help us do all this
and have a good time if you will. All right, So,
Chef Bruno, who started all of this many years ago,
we are We don't I don't want to get into
the history Bruno, how it started, because if we do
that again, I'll blow my brains out. So let's talk
about where you are now, what's going on with the
(07:52):
various programs now, because that's an extraordinary story.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, especially twenty years litter still all right, a lot
of people are gone. After a few years. We are
at two hundred Nady family. Then we move out by
paid first the last month. Because something that people don't
know that this is one of the programs of Katirino's Club.
We are in forty city in Osh County, including some
(08:19):
me in Long Beach which is Eli County, San Bernardino County,
and we are on average of five thousand miles a
daily a lover.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
One of the things is Bruno just disguised. I want
to give you a little backstory on this.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
One of the programs he has.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
These are Family's Motel Kids, where the families lost their
income during COVID, the Great Recession. If you and they
lived in motels, literally family of four or five in
one motel room with a little tiny refrigerator, you get
a Costco one hot plate.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And what Chef Bruno's charity does Caroina's Club.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Is it helps these people who are living this way
into an apartment or a house, paying first and last
month's rent and getting them started and furniture donating whatever
we can do to get this going. And I've donated furniture,
used disgusting furniture that Bruno immediately took to the landfill.
(09:20):
And I know, yes, exactly, we may be poor, but
we're not that poor. And that's and it's two hundred
and eighty families now right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
The first family. I'll still remember the first family because
they live in a motel room, six of them for children,
mom and dad twelve years. Think about living a motel
room not bigger than your own bedroom twelve years, which
is a long time. And that is what make me
feel like I have to do something.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, we keep in mind first and last alone.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Let's say you're talking with three twenty five hundred dollars
for a reasonably small hotel apartment two three bedrooms.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Get a new crash in bad five.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, thank you, that's five. That's five thousand dollars right there.
And who has five thousand dollars When you're living paycheck
to paycheck, or you don't have a marketable skill and
you're earning money, it's impossible.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well, Bruno came.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Up with this program to help these people with extraordinary
and then your hospitality program.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well I have something cool. Well happened two weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I invited three hundred children over here every years, no
day Santa. We give toys two kids from a lot
of the boys girls club in Culli and a girl
came as a volunteer and she said, Buno, you remember me.
I look at a second, not really, so dozands of people,
see he said, I used to be on hospitality girls working.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
For you to form your program. So what are you
doing now?
Speaker 6 (10:48):
I'm a food and betterers working at the Cambrio Hotel.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
You know.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Let me thinking about from an hospitality young teenager.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Oh that is great.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Another girl, one boy, one girl graduated the CIA Napa Valle.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
All theta chefs.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Wow, that is for me.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I took customers sometime.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
If you see a teenager around the du dials serving you,
they make mistake. Forgive them because we are here to
teach them and to look the hospitality.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And this is uh the train part of the hospitality
program that Bruno offers. There is a certificate right where
they get and since Bruno is so well known, if
you ask any chef, any restaurant owner in Anaheim, Orange County,
they instantly know who Bruno is. Well with that certificate,
they can go to any restaurant and say I took
(11:41):
Bruno's hospitality course, and all of a sudden they've got
to step up and started. It's amazing stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Bruno.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I make a lot of fun of Bruno, as in
he sounds like he got off the boat yesterday afternoon.
You can't understand a word he says, you've been here
for how long Bruno in America?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Since ninety eight?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
As opposed to December one, twenty twenty five, is what
you sound like.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
You know what's great, though, is you can tell the
kids that come out of his hospitality group because they're like.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Bruno.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, it's very funny.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So anyway, all of this is extraordinary that Bruno has done,
and the awards that Bruno has received internationally. From the Pope,
He's been knighted. He is Sir Bruno by the Italian
government and royalty. Matter of fact, real quick before we
take a break. When Bruno was knighted, he actually was
here at the Anaheim White House and he came in
(12:41):
in medieval Italian garb, looking like mediciese on the biggest
horse you have ever seen in your life. He had
never been on a horse in his life. To see
how scared he was was an absolute joy.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
I had the Sikhs way that helped me out to
come down after that.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
All right, we're coming back. Bruno.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
As always, thank you, and we asked you to come
down and please please donate to.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Go at KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 7 (13:12):

happy to be with you today in the fifteenth annual
Pastathon here at the Anaheim White House in conveniently enough Anaheim, California.
(13:45):
And this is such a major thing for us because
of you. You are the most generous group of people
on the planet. KFI listeners are amazing. So you all
know about Chef Bruno's charity, Katerina's Club. They provide more
than twenty five thousand meals every week to kids in
need here in southern California. And your generosity makes this happen.

great product.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's just if you've never been to.
Speaker 4 (14:37):

Speaker 4 (15:16):
I mean, come on, I know it's great. It's got
all kinds of things. So we're here with Chef Bruno.
Obviously you've been an amazing partner. This is something that starts.
I was talking to Michelle Cube. She starts in June,
working with you and your folks to prepare for this day.
(15:39):
How much of your budget relies on what the KFI
listener brings to the table right now, there's a question.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
A lot of my friends customer asked for it over
fifty percent.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's just insane.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Yeah, because remember at the beginning, I used to do
two three hundred meals a day, and the first five
six years I was doing that alone on my own packet.
When four five years later then K five jump in
to do a undred one thousand meals and now we
have five thousand meals. We thought K five I would
(16:17):
have to cut more than fifty percent of what we do.
And as you heard before, like from the work come
home fifteen years ago, used to be fifteen twenty five
hundred dollars to down paymit now it's four five thousand dollars.
Were just double it and the cost of everything, the
gas to employ it and everything then be around with
(16:40):
very specs, I mean K five we thought cave to
cut big times.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Caterina's Club.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
So obviously the weight of your charity and your kindness
and during this time of giving today, being given Tuesday
and all is a powerful, a powerful push during this
holiday season to really see kids eat at The interesting
(17:08):
thing about Katerina's Club is we all know the story
of observation of the namesake your mother Katerina, and observing
the children eating chips for dinner. Then you take that over,
you feed them. We partner with you then you see more.
(17:29):
You see that they're now needing housing, and they're so
even doing this, you continue to see more need out
there as.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Well, lately, more than ever.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
In fact, a few weeks ago, for a while, I
used to delivering turkey to a mobile park area on
the previous family over there and unless yea, we then
I'll do it.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I'n't even remember why.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
But they call me this week two weeks ago, this
runo is any we can deliver in food to our
area this week?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
I said sure, So you need to say we need
badly this time.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I mean, it was the big difference from a year,
two years ago. The request. I mean, I call some
chapan students, they can you get some yal because they
live in Turkey. To one hundred and fifty family is
a lot. And we went door to door. Now the
door cheve gounos turkey shap and people thank you, thank you,
thank you. But even one of my girls in Caterina's
(18:27):
office call me. We had eight locations. Now I was
waiting for us to see us. But remember the first
ten months of the year, we don't as much money
on Katerina's club. We wait for Pastaton to see our
budget go and to have eight locasions. I mean it's
probably if three four hundred is more to to to
(18:48):
so and this.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Is a lot, it's more than before. But it's it's.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Insane because each time you fill a hole.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Or gap only, but there's another one well, and you
become that resource because there's so much need. Have you
seen in addition to that, this has been a rougher
year for many I mean no.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Ten days ago, a lady came to the restaurant and
I was yellow. That was two three o'clock afternoon. I
usually come early. And she say, yeah, can I get
some food? And I didn't put things together. I say, okay,
should give me one seke? I said, how many people?
(19:35):
It's me and my fourth children. I say okay.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I went back. I say, but did you find me?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
I said, why you came to the restaurant that's for
full usage with the Livery hotel, to street to boys
girls club. She says, somebody told me if I'm hungry
to come to see you at the restaurant. I said, okay,
well give me one second. Said she prepared me some
past and she came to go. Don't find minutes be prepared.
(20:00):
I give it to her. She give me kids, blah
blah blah, and I said, well, anytime you're hungry, come here.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I'm here.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
But fivemous later a boy came with a song. It's like,
I'm the son of the lady who just came for
the past and said, oh, what can I do for you?
We don't have any civil well to eat it. You
have some and we can borrow till we eat our pasta.
I mean at twelve, I say, I know I'm doing
the right things. When you see a sixteen year old
(20:28):
kid come back inside of my reason ask her for
civil well to because you want to eat the past.
That just don't it? Done nothing? And after that I said,
what were you guys living? I think you see in
the garage in the car and there's like five people.
It's obviously has it come here anytime? But that's just
every day. I mean, I have We could be here
(20:50):
for twelve hours and talk about story and story and story.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
But out there is a problem. Man. I know people
here past the tongue past up. We don't take for
granted to me know what we do every day.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
I have a full driver, full time, give allos chanion
and counter to delivery.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Well, God bless you and your team and everybody that
put together, you know, Silvano and everyone that has hands on,
and I know you have a big team. And to
the KFI listener everything, every story you hear, Bruno tell
you're a part of you. Help that happen when he
(21:30):
doesn't have to think of where the money's coming from,
where the food's coming from, just to be able to
give it to people in need, that even.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Walked up to the door.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, one of those big spend Yeah, you know, I
only had Costco shirts and Lindsey started buying me real
shirts and I'm looking at these. I saw the price
tag of a Tommy Bahama shirt. Yeah, and Itu, and
I couldn't believe the cost of a Tommy Bahama shirt.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
You can talk about putting lipstick on a page.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I know I could get the money costco shirts fat
certainly eight So anyway, so much for that. Anyway, We're
at the Anaheim White House restaurant, Bruno's Restaurant Pastathon, our
fifteenth annual pastathon where we raise money to help Bruno
the kids twenty five thousand meals a week now. When
(23:03):
we first started, it was two hundred kids a night,
and Amy was just asking, how do they feed that
many kids? So you can't get five thousand meals a
day out of a restaurant, And so it started here
and then he had to buy a separate pasta machine,
one of those pasta cookers. It looks like a French
fried cooker, and a major a fast food establishment, you know,
(23:26):
this big thing. And then he outgrew that, and then
satellite kitchens started coming up, and now it's five thousand
meals a night and it's done I believe it's done
at boys and girls clubs throughout southern California. And then
he's got delivery Vans now and it has become a very,
very big deal and we are absolutely, really.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Proud to be part of it.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Michelle, our executive producer, found the charity. We were looking
to adopt a charity and we found what she found out.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Not only did she pitch it to KFI I she
has been at the helm of it for these fifteen
years and it consumes a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
But you, yeah, absolutely, Michelle ce can they applaud for that, Phil.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
They can applaud for that. Now.
Speaker 1 (24:14):

are free samples. Not only do you get the bagels
in the coffee, but free samples from Zelman's. Anthony and Lauren,
the owners of Zelmans, are here, and the samples are

and so come on by.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We're it's on Anaheim Bullard at war.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Zonakatella, It's on wherever they have, Hey, whatever, what is it,
eight eighty seven South Anaheim Boulevard. You know you can

That's what I would do.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I've already forgotten the address, and it was just told me.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
To tell it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
You have ways, You're good to go.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Come on by and I help us do all this
and have a good time if you will. All right, So,
Chef Bruno, who started all of this many years ago,
we are We don't I don't want to get into
the history Bruno, how it started, because if we do
that again, I'll blow my brains out. So let's talk
about where you are now, what's going on with the
(07:52):
various programs now, because that's an extraordinary story.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, especially twenty years litter still all right, a lot
of people are gone. After a few years. We are
at two hundred Nady family. Then we move out by
paid first the last month. Because something that people don't
know that this is one of the programs of Katirino's Club.
We are in forty city in Osh County, including some
(08:19):
me in Long Beach which is Eli County, San Bernardino County,
and we are on average of five thousand miles a
daily a lover.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
One of the things is Bruno just disguised. I want
to give you a little backstory on this.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
One of the programs he has.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
These are Family's Motel Kids, where the families lost their
income during COVID, the Great Recession. If you and they
lived in motels, literally family of four or five in
one motel room with a little tiny refrigerator, you get
a Costco one hot plate.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And what Chef Bruno's charity does Caroina's Club.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Is it helps these people who are living this way
into an apartment or a house, paying first and last
month's rent and getting them started and furniture donating whatever
we can do to get this going. And I've donated furniture,
used disgusting furniture that Bruno immediately took to the landfill.
(09:20):
And I know, yes, exactly, we may be poor, but
we're not that poor. And that's and it's two hundred
and eighty families now right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
The first family. I'll still remember the first family because
they live in a motel room, six of them for children,
mom and dad twelve years. Think about living a motel
room not bigger than your own bedroom twelve years, which
is a long time. And that is what make me
feel like I have to do something.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, we keep in mind first and last alone.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Let's say you're talking with three twenty five hundred dollars
for a reasonably small hotel apartment two three bedrooms.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Get a new crash in bad five.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, thank you, that's five. That's five thousand dollars right there.
And who has five thousand dollars When you're living paycheck
to paycheck, or you don't have a marketable skill and
you're earning money, it's impossible.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well, Bruno came.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Up with this program to help these people with extraordinary
and then your hospitality program.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well I have something cool. Well happened two weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I invited three hundred children over here every years, no
day Santa. We give toys two kids from a lot
of the boys girls club in Culli and a girl
came as a volunteer and she said, Buno, you remember me.
I look at a second, not really, so dozands of people,
see he said, I used to be on hospitality girls working.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
For you to form your program. So what are you
doing now?
Speaker 6 (10:48):
I'm a food and betterers working at the Cambrio Hotel.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
You know.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Let me thinking about from an hospitality young teenager.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Oh that is great.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Another girl, one boy, one girl graduated the CIA Napa Valle.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
All theta chefs.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Wow, that is for me.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I took customers sometime.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
If you see a teenager around the du dials serving you,
they make mistake. Forgive them because we are here to
teach them and to look the hospitality.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And this is uh the train part of the hospitality
program that Bruno offers. There is a certificate right where
they get and since Bruno is so well known, if
you ask any chef, any restaurant owner in Anaheim, Orange County,
they instantly know who Bruno is. Well with that certificate,
they can go to any restaurant and say I took
(11:41):
Bruno's hospitality course, and all of a sudden they've got
to step up and started. It's amazing stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Bruno.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I make a lot of fun of Bruno, as in
he sounds like he got off the boat yesterday afternoon.
You can't understand a word he says, you've been here
for how long Bruno in America?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Since ninety eight?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
As opposed to December one, twenty twenty five, is what
you sound like.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
You know what's great, though, is you can tell the
kids that come out of his hospitality group because they're like.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Bruno.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, it's very funny.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So anyway, all of this is extraordinary that Bruno has done,
and the awards that Bruno has received internationally. From the Pope,
He's been knighted. He is Sir Bruno by the Italian
government and royalty. Matter of fact, real quick before we
take a break. When Bruno was knighted, he actually was
here at the Anaheim White House and he came in
(12:41):
in medieval Italian garb, looking like mediciese on the biggest
horse you have ever seen in your life. He had
never been on a horse in his life. To see
how scared he was was an absolute joy.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
I had the Sikhs way that helped me out to
come down after that.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
All right, we're coming back. Bruno.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
As always, thank you, and we asked you to come
down and please please donate to.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Go at KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Dot com Slash Pastathon, Smartan Final, Yama Va Resort and Casino,
and our auction items that we are providing, which a
great fund.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Hey everybody, it is Neil Silvadra in the morning. Crew
Bill Handle is taking a little break bathroom. But we're
happy to be with you today in the fifteenth annual
Pastathon here at the Anaheim White House in conveniently enough Anaheim, California.
(13:45):
And this is such a major thing for us because
of you. You are the most generous group of people
on the planet. KFI listeners are amazing. So you all
know about Chef Bruno's charity, Katerina's Club. They provide more
than twenty five thousand meals every week to kids in
need here in southern California. And your generosity makes this happen.
(14:10):
So our broadcast today December two, Giving Tuesday, will be
here from five am to.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Eight pm at the Anaheim White House.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
All of our.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Hosts will be out here. You can donate pasta and sauce.
And also one of the cool things is my friends
at Wildfork Foods. Any of their locations they have eleven
here in southern California, you go in, you buy their
great product.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's just if you've never been to.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
A Wildfork Foods location, it is something special.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
And then you say.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
KFI Pastathon at checkout, you get fifteen percent off your
purchase with will be not fifteen percent off, rather, fifteen
percent of your purchase will be donated here to the
KFI Pastathon. Smart and Final you can donate at any

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Gets you a coupon book that includes three frosties.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I mean, come on, I know it's great. It's got
all kinds of things. So we're here with Chef Bruno.
Obviously you've been an amazing partner. This is something that starts.
I was talking to Michelle Cube. She starts in June,
working with you and your folks to prepare for this day.
(15:39):
How much of your budget relies on what the KFI
listener brings to the table right now, there's a question.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
A lot of my friends customer asked for it over
fifty percent.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's just insane.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Yeah, because remember at the beginning, I used to do
two three hundred meals a day, and the first five
six years I was doing that alone on my own packet.
When four five years later then K five jump in
to do a undred one thousand meals and now we
have five thousand meals. We thought K five I would
(16:17):
have to cut more than fifty percent of what we do.
And as you heard before, like from the work come
home fifteen years ago, used to be fifteen twenty five
hundred dollars to down paymit now it's four five thousand dollars.
Were just double it and the cost of everything, the
gas to employ it and everything then be around with
(16:40):
very specs, I mean K five we thought cave to
cut big times.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Caterina's Club.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
So obviously the weight of your charity and your kindness
and during this time of giving today, being given Tuesday
and all is a powerful, a powerful push during this
holiday season to really see kids eat at The interesting
(17:08):
thing about Katerina's Club is we all know the story
of observation of the namesake your mother Katerina, and observing
the children eating chips for dinner. Then you take that over,
you feed them. We partner with you then you see more.
(17:29):
You see that they're now needing housing, and they're so
even doing this, you continue to see more need out
there as.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Well, lately, more than ever.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
In fact, a few weeks ago, for a while, I
used to delivering turkey to a mobile park area on
the previous family over there and unless yea, we then
I'll do it.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I'n't even remember why.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
But they call me this week two weeks ago, this
runo is any we can deliver in food to our
area this week?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
I said sure, So you need to say we need
badly this time.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I mean, it was the big difference from a year,
two years ago. The request. I mean, I call some
chapan students, they can you get some yal because they
live in Turkey. To one hundred and fifty family is
a lot. And we went door to door. Now the
door cheve gounos turkey shap and people thank you, thank you,
thank you. But even one of my girls in Caterina's
(18:27):
office call me. We had eight locations. Now I was
waiting for us to see us. But remember the first
ten months of the year, we don't as much money
on Katerina's club. We wait for Pastaton to see our
budget go and to have eight locasions. I mean it's
probably if three four hundred is more to to to
(18:48):
so and this.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Is a lot, it's more than before. But it's it's.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Insane because each time you fill a hole.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Or gap only, but there's another one well, and you
become that resource because there's so much need. Have you
seen in addition to that, this has been a rougher
year for many I mean no.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Ten days ago, a lady came to the restaurant and
I was yellow. That was two three o'clock afternoon. I
usually come early. And she say, yeah, can I get
some food? And I didn't put things together. I say, okay,
should give me one seke? I said, how many people?
(19:35):
It's me and my fourth children. I say okay.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I went back. I say, but did you find me?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
I said, why you came to the restaurant that's for
full usage with the Livery hotel, to street to boys
girls club. She says, somebody told me if I'm hungry
to come to see you at the restaurant. I said, okay,
well give me one second. Said she prepared me some
past and she came to go. Don't find minutes be prepared.
(20:00):
I give it to her. She give me kids, blah
blah blah, and I said, well, anytime you're hungry, come here.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I'm here.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
But fivemous later a boy came with a song. It's like,
I'm the son of the lady who just came for
the past and said, oh, what can I do for you?
We don't have any civil well to eat it. You
have some and we can borrow till we eat our pasta.
I mean at twelve, I say, I know I'm doing
the right things. When you see a sixteen year old
(20:28):
kid come back inside of my reason ask her for
civil well to because you want to eat the past.
That just don't it? Done nothing? And after that I said,
what were you guys living? I think you see in
the garage in the car and there's like five people.
It's obviously has it come here anytime? But that's just
every day. I mean, I have We could be here
(20:50):
for twelve hours and talk about story and story and story.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
But out there is a problem. Man. I know people
here past the tongue past up. We don't take for
granted to me know what we do every day.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
I have a full driver, full time, give allos chanion
and counter to delivery.

fifteenth annual pastathon where we raise money to help Bruno
the kids twenty five thousand meals a week now. When
(23:03):
we first started, it was two hundred kids a night,
and Amy was just asking, how do they feed that
many kids? So you can't get five thousand meals a
day out of a restaurant, And so it started here
and then he had to buy a separate pasta machine,
one of those pasta cookers. It looks like a French
fried cooker, and a major a fast food establishment, you know,
(23:26):
this big thing. And then he outgrew that, and then
satellite kitchens started coming up, and now it's five thousand
meals a night and it's done I believe it's done
at boys and girls clubs throughout southern California. And then
he's got delivery Vans now and it has become a very,
very big deal and we are absolutely, really.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
