Show Notes

In a way, we've been preparing our whole lives for this episode, proudly waving our Italian flags and wearing our oversized Sons of Italy t-shirts, all the while waiting for an opportunity to make sense of our mustaches, our emotional eating, our befuddling last name. On this episode, we discuss it all: the hairgel, pride, and idiosyncacies that make up the ball of tangled capellini that is an Italian-American heritage. We also reconnect with some of the Italian-Americans whose careers in showbiz made our rise to fame as renowned podcasters possible. Asta la pasta!

Thanks to all of the Italian-Americans who contributed to this episode: Alyssa Capozziello, Steven Rauzi, Beth Tripi, Sue Capozziello-Horton, Evan Miglorie, Vito Capozziello, Joe Capozziello, Natalia Capozziello, Adria LaMorticella, Toni Blesy, Tony Capozziello, John Santomieri, and Lacee O'Brien.
