Wooden spoon never know yeah she would could happen I will say this though I missed the old cou bro oh [ __ ] you I’m talking Stanton Island cou that was the best version well it was never it was when you met me it was newort thats of a

Days ago yeah that was a nice guys I missed that c too now we got feet on the table C let’s let’s T let’s Tien this up for a little bit keep this thing is tight as a Seal’s ass let me tell you something top part oh

There you goce I a Jer you having fun over there there you go all righty so what’s a normal day like in the life of Koo the life of Koo I gotta be honest I embarrassed myself so much on Friday night I didn’t even leave Saturday or Sunday my house

I left last night at 8:30 to get hot chocolate and two [ __ ] rainbow cookies that was the most lonely I ever felt in my entire life felt on top of the world though so you didn’t leave your house for two days I’ve been to your house you don’t exactly have a

Packed fridge with different vegetables we’re doing Grub Hub not an head and I actually called up Marios they deliver me some meat there you yo it’s crazy and that’s and they just vegged out that’s a special delivery a good delivery tripe tripe you made some tripe no not yet I don’t know

How to make it are you going to make it though but yeah we’ve been watching a couple of YouTube videos it’s going to come out I love the C’s YouTube videos before cooking I don’t know if I this is like a story I’m allowed to say we could cut it

Out if you don’t like it but when you did that because now you have that show with rap and you’ve had quo French Rich the kid on it and I was with you when you filmed the French Montana one and you’re like like cuz I never did this

But I’m going to make a Ru I’m going to you like youtubing how to make right before he’s like cooking in front of like 10 cameras yeah I never made a r before but I I got the idea whatever you just wing it it makes for good content

If you just wing it but my my mom would teach you how to make tripe is like a stew you usually you just making like a red sauce right is it and slow or you like syrup before I’ve only you’re from the other side Ro only you grew up with

Your grandmother yeah but but when they [ __ ] together stay away when they make that that’s I I don’t like tripe my father tricked me the first time I ate it he’s like nah it’s just it’s just like a sausage I ate it I almost th I

Gagged so for those that never tried it like me what does tripe taste like it’s chewy at least I think it is feels chewy it looks weird definitely doesn’t look like it’s like honeycomb yeah yeah it’s basically looks like but it’s like in like these long Stripes it’s cow

Intestine yeah yeah no no it’s not it’s cow’s stomach because intestines like that yeah all right whatever it’s the cow lining I think is the technical beautiful Co I got a gift for you oh very near and dear to my heart you know I still owe you a [ __ ] wedding gift no it’s

All there you go cuz KO never gave you the Boost never I never gave him a boost [ __ ] the best thing about KO you’ll just see random zels every once in a while he actually like pays attention to it wow where’s that shirt from oh growing up a

T look at you guys you guys are branding yourself now guys are making a ton of money you guys got the trade mark on that yeah I think so nothing on the backing to our emali American flag all right good I’ll wipe my C off your sister chin with this

Beautiful thank God I don’t got a sister that’s great but uh when people ask you like go are you Italian what do you say I’m American he he says he’s American American proud American Proud American you don’t say Italian American ever I mean I I’m like fourth generation I

Don’t even know if I’m allowed to I mean I’m Italian from like Roots yeah 100% but not like who’s family’s been on Stan Island since like five generations like the 1910s yeah yeah yeah so Sten Italy yeah Staten Italy born and raised we in Brooklyn now but I’m sure I’ll make it

Back one day how do you like living alone I love it you don’t like uh you don’t you don’t ever get lonely like you were saying no I love being alone yeah like that’s like my yeah sometimes fing alone I I excel at when there’s one

Person on set I true can’t say what I want to say yeah yeah I feel that also cuz like my thinking out loud is crazy yeah you could been getting wild in some of your videos some of those lines some of those lines are like damn how they not

Deleted they love me they love me that’s classic what’s the creative process like to think of these videos because it’s a saturated Market in the sense where there’s a million people cooking the same couple of dishes right yeah so that definitely gets tough so I don’t really

Focus on the dish itself it’s more or less the lines right you know like how the borderline cancel line what kind of lines are you talking about yeah yeah give us give us a couple of your best lines I mean I just posted my 2023 RP

Up and you know we got a little crazy there I was holding a canoli I said your sisters die of canoli in Plan B that’s crazy by the way yeah you know what she enjoys you know so sad yeah goes down bad um what else I don’t know

I hold up a brown egg I said the chicken had a horsecock you know probably get that innuendo there yeah um something with Ursula’s box and how it smells like Caesar salad dressing before you put the the ovies what else but what’s the thought process like do you purposely plan a

Line oh yeah of course so you think it a line before the the dish yeah you have to be certified in sane to just come up that on spot yeah so takes like a couple of weeks like today I just posted a video bombed but I didn’t like plan

Anything gotcha got so bombed yeah so I almost deserve it this why I don’t post that much it’s a lot of work yeah you know we actually we have like me and K have the exact opposite outlooks for social media so like for growing up a

Town I say like yeah we post four times a day who is like I post once a week yeah four times a month so the reason why I think he’s explained it to me before is that basically Koo looks at it like if you post every day it gives

People like a reason to unfollow you yeah it’s like a this schmuck again well for you guys it’s not like there’s no face so it’s okay yeah but for me it’s like who want I would post us four times that’s crazy yeah who wants to look at

This chinless bastard four times a day that’s not it’s like I’m sure people would I look in my mirror I’m disgusted you got to look at me on Instagram too [ __ ] four times a day it’s crazy yeah it’s nuts yeah some people do do that though yeah they’re hard workers that

Ain’t me I mean I don’t see a lot of people say hard workers and I’m might be crazy for this I kind of feel like that’s a little narcissistic meaning like you think it’s all about you so you’re going to keep putting out you content no I’m just

Lazy that’s some people’s Brands though yeah some people it depends you do like posting like four fol videos a day is just fat you know but like if you’re like a lifestyle vlogger then like that’s here’s my oot of the day or stories all right four

Times a day it feel like one story a day yeah I remember when back in the day Instagram even have stories your stories were your post how old are you I’m old cuz [ __ ] I was original on Instagram I was like one of the first people to

Have it yeah and I remember back in the day I mean Instagrams came a long way but you would post like what you were eating on your main feed was just like it like you got a new pair of sneakers you posted it on your feed that was like

Some 2012 [ __ ] yeah have you deleted any your old Post Yeah I archived so much [ __ ] Bro to well you used to do just voiceovers right yeah so everything I have ever posted on Instagram is the oh you left everything yeah but on the meals by K account or my real account I

Don’t really have CU it’s like him cooking or like dishes right I want to like you know you could go back to 2017 and be like Oh this’s getting eight likes you could do it too can’t you should you should put you should put like on that last post like you creeped

All the way up to here or something where’s your head right now you get a lot of people that try and like cop your style no I feel like like Sao said everybody’s trying to do the foodie stuff yeah well food is one thing but then there’s like like food and comedy

And like once you get to like those two subsections you know it’s hard to do like you know you got Corey Cory B yeah he’s had on the Pod yeah everybody you in us to is great like qcp Cory uh I only roll with hitters guys yeah

Yeah you got the bangers for sure he rolls with the hitters but then his friends are the characters I met like when we met Jake he was like so like never cared about so social media and I remember we were linking somebody’s like my God that guy

On he was Fanning out yeah I’m like how you friends with Koo if like you’re Fanning out like that and then he just was like like his friends are complete opposite but yeah the people you create with are on a certain level I would say yeah they a good time never really lost

A friend either throughout this way which is kind of fun you know that’s amazing I still [ __ ] with all my high school friends and all my college friends do they humble you or they yeah of course they make fun of of me all the time they call me illusion I’m like rightfully so

Right but that that’s that pole is not in the frame is it I mean I’m sure it’s in the frame but it’s not covering him no no he’s good he’s good all right all the clips are going to be like hey what’s up guys what’s up like a sniper I

Think he’s all right my bad that was a little low pick what you do uh painting those jeans too you got a lot of hobbies huh it’s good all right perfect I just want to make sure his beautiful face is seen oh thank you yeah no problem I was

Going to get a shave before this but you guys aren’t worried those videos you getting a shave are classic yeah right across the street I go once a week do you pay him or what yeah yeah nothing for free okay okay originally you got the deal now

You’re probably yeah now I’m showing out you know how much is a k haircut depends where I go over there if I get a haircut shave and a tip it’s like 120 but I don’t get a haircut that often it’s like three times a year yeah yeah

I’m very attached to this [ __ ] thing wow when he when we first met him I’m pretty sure he had like he had shorter but even in college I had it like down to he and then I try to class it up for a job that didn’t work out and then I

Grew it out a little longer so this is like on the longer side right now this is yes longer is I think we should petition for him to never cut his hair again that’s crazy just imagine if your hair was like right there like a monk that’ be

Fire you know how much work that is no oh yeah that’s true clearly look like Andrea you know Piro soccer player cuz I’m American if you I feel like after a shower you just go like that yeah oh yeah you should have a sponsorship with and should why don’t

You why don’t you Vlog like your hair routine they no routine no it’s Pantene giv away Secrets over here and then some random conditioner at the same time yeah oh damn both at the same time go hard that’s the lazy special right there and then that’s it then I just comb it out

And then it just dries like this naturally curly naturally curly and you wash your hair every day every day I heard you’re not supposed to do that though yes says hope my barber shout out Dei say I thought you going to say your wife because like girls no girls do that

Too that they don’t yeah but if I don’t wash my hair it’s so oily you could just like put it on macaroni it’s like so oily it’s crazy I feel that especially because you have longer hair but supposedly all the chemicals and the shampoo and stuff it like I give a [ __ ]

About chem I got three good years left that’s all I need that’s it three years go this thing’s tiring like nobody really told me like the social media game takes a lot you have it rough bro I gota be honest it’s not it’s not easy

Yeah waking up I haven’t got out of bed before like 11: in like 4 months but we but you do answer early though like if I text you at 8: a.m. you answer yeah oh today I actually posted at 9: then went back to sleep for two hours

Woke up sort tanked got depressed so it affects you when something like just the best not as much anymore but it still does yeah no I feel that we all have that you bad days yeah weeks months years listen A-Rod wasn’t a 400 batting average you know still

Steroids and always banging them over the fence still got 600 plus home runs you don’t have your Stanley Cup with you who Stanley oh that that Viral [ __ ] no I’m not a real influencer what do you think about that though like these uh these 40 oce cups

A thermos what is it yeah yeah it’s like this monster thing alisandra has one and my mom had one too and I just recently like saw this trending I’m like what the hell and then there’s like a line around the block at one of these

Stores and if you go to stockx this cup that retails for 50 is like $250 $300 bro why why though I don’t understand supposed it keeps your drink really cold or really warm $250 is not keeping my drink have ice for a reason I look at it

Like you got to drink a little faster no that thing is not lasting with me it’s not that big it’s only what it’s like two and a half water bottles worth 40 ounces so a half usually it’s 8 O 16.9 is a regular how you don’t yeah oh actually

16 three bottles of water a little yeah two bottles half mean shout out to the marketing team they made that work that’s beyond me to wait on a line for a [ __ ] cup it’s crazy bro how how do you answer the old school Italians that ask or the neighborhood guys when I ask

You so this is what you do fulltime like how do you explain them you making money with this you getting any scratch yeah you making any coin I’m just like yeah you know I I do commercials for the for Brands that’s how I explain it to them

That’s a nice way to put it you know that’s the only way they’ll like understand it that’s it yeah I do okay you Nick you can’t ever say like how well or how bad you’re doing but to them they they don’t take it seriously they have no clue

What’s a Nori it’s it’s it’s like another Yorkie like one of the doggies how am I how do you supposed to say noi yeah [ __ ] you in your guinea [ __ ] name yeah those noris go crazy but I could see that because it got a little weight to it got a little cushion for

The push so it’s like you’re banging a thick [ __ ] yes do you think different pastas taste better with different sauces you think that’s a real thing I think that’s a I don’t think they taste they taste different I think just different pastas go with different sources it’s like

Rigatoni if I’m doing rigonis and I’m doing like red sauce meatballs or spaghetti I’m just doing straight Pomodoro penny I’m doing vodka but also I’ll do rigonis with the spicy vodka but it has to be not the regular rotoni it’s got to be the measur rigonis the the

Carbone ones yeah or you do talinis those are nice with what don’t worry about it or the norki with the pesto is fire too I like the way that looks I’m not a big pesto guy really too bitter I’m not like a when yeah you’re a [ __ ] bitter

Person these two just going at it going he’s going the left and right hooks I got the UPA coming soon this is like my this is Tito’s water I’m hid hydrating I got a special day tonight yeah I heard you got a you know you’re meeting a

Friend tonight do you get excited to step out with a nice young lady um once in a while give us like if I actually like like them then yeah yeah cuz then I’ll go all out I like make a real reservation real reservation yeah like

One I got to like hit someone up for you got to text someone when you got pay for dinner oh no you still get the freebies no I I hate getting the freebies yeah like you know what I mean then you got to almost post a story or something

Right yeah it’s like [ __ ] it’s like I owe him something i’ rather just pay yeah you’re right you’re right cuz the stories are more than your dinner right sometimes Jesus Christ think about it like that but I wish like even sometimes when you get taken care of I almost even

When you get taken care of though you still got to tip the bill yeah of course of course so you’re still getting [ __ ] in I know I know people that don’t even tip bro that’s disgus that’s like Mor special right that’s the most civili anything ever yeah it’s like you’re

Getting a free meal Cal you got to tip at least like double than you normally would take the care of the staff at least like come on yeah so give us like the experience of going out with you are you opening the door for these ladies

Pulling the chair oh yeah yeah I send them an Uber if I actually like them oh [ __ ] if you actually like them well it depends it depends like I don’t like never meeting them and going on a real first date I feel like if I never met

You we could go for coffee or drink for an hour and if if you get the drinks flowing you start getting crazy you know yeah it starts you know one thing may lead to but on a real note though like everyone’s like oh takeing me to dinner

It’s like you’re going to embarrass me I don’t know but I feel like that’s for every guy no like you don’t want to just take a random girl out like getting a drink no reserv no nothing right it’s the easiest way what about what about she’s a

Dime give a [ __ ] don’t matter no okay she could still be a slob in the restaurant I feel like I feel like a big thing is you probably have to FaceTime them before meeting in person too no yeah I mean like you don’t really know who you’re dealing with at the end of

The day right I mean yeah you’re going hinge dates or whatever you could get get a little catfish action yeah you don’t never know that’s has that ever happened no I I’m I’m very uh okay I do my homework okay good good man good man

Yeah I get it’s funny when I see like I think in a group chat we sent a couple times when you’re on an hch and like people like screen record your your profile and put like a really Italian Roman sound it’s Like it just it’s just gous cuz I think like your first picture is in your tank top or something it’s not a good look this is like no actually my first picture is on the set of uh I did his music video who your boy the Italian

Umama oh yeah that’s right that’s right yeah I was in a serg teini how you doing um yeah so that usually goes over well you know how many girls have you met on Hench I’m just curious like Matt and person yeah like they have normally I

Don’t really meet up with a lot of Hing girls I kind of just do it for the Instagram stories you do get the most crazy messages the crazy messes I love them they’re so fun I think so said yesterday like my sex type is your nose or

Something yeah my schn and I was like come sit on it still waiting on a response by the way so they’ll hit you with one and then never like follow up I guess yeah so I have like a booklet like an album on your phone of just

Ridiculous DMS yeah yeah yeah and like I’ll just go through them and I’ll be like whatever happened to that what was that thing Nico said that you need to do is like a kind of a book oh a um Zen no that’s Zen a Zen a Zen no that’s one of

Those can that a brand no um it’s like the booklet that you just print yourself yeah it’s like a book that you know it’s called a Zen or a Zing something like that yeah I fet you could look it up if you google don’t work too hard you’re

Over there slouching like this but basically it’s like let’s say I’m like a local poet and I put like 20 po like poems on a on a computer paper and then I sell it on a table in front of the pan shop right you could just like print it

Out a pamplet but it’s called a z like a church pamphlet or but I’m not begging for money a zen zen zen a magazine especially a fan Zen a web Zen so scenes are self-published works of art poetry and other media that are created by hand or digitally and

Distributed to an audience yeah that makes sense that that aligns with what you guys are saying jeans jeans sure sure so you were doing this show you’re doing a show of rap TV yes do you have a dream guest that you like to bring on no can I answer that question for

You well like I obviously you want like the top guys in the game oh [ __ ] that ice spice you know I drunk DMD her about it didn’t get a response did you yeah I mean I could be like Jordan P spending $500,000 on a DAT did you see that you

Would do a fried spice you would do a fried spice spend 500k I don’t know about 500k but well nice but he he’s texting I spice is lucky she get the pizza out him me you text it no you’ll take her out to dinner that all right if

Ice spice hits you up right now and said let’s link are you trying to take her to dinner or you trying to take her for a pizza or you going to do like oh let’s go for a drink coffee like those vibes no I feel like that’s in her Court she’s

The bigger person in this situation yeah but don’t you think I would feel out the situation you know what I mean there’s got to be some more well you would take her to dinner I would take her somewhere probably to the worst experience of my life all right if she

Said if she said to you okay I’ll do the video with you but what are you going to make for me I don’t know whatever the [ __ ] she wants ice spice so maybe I’ll make like a spicy [ __ ] tea I don’t know I gotta like I don’t do I’m not the [ __ ]

Producer all right I feel like a little pump pum pie or something that she she looks like a pumpkin kind of swe you look like one might as well make it for you yeah I mean usually my producer just goes over like every song and just finds something that they uh rap

About like we did mac and cheese with French yeah so he has a whole series and that yeah I heard you and little mo uh we may or may not be on his new Mac and G’s 5 oh confirmed okay okay I’m looking forward to that coulding it comes out this I

Think it comes out this weekend yeah I heard some [ __ ] like that supposed to come out months ago I think right yeah better L than ever yeah because now you guys I remember that day we were with him I think some of the stuff might have

Been film or at least idea came up yeah me and Mo just made sister jokes for about 30 minutes you got really good with that by the way yeah your sister swallow sausages like a python when when we when when we when uh when I first hung out with Mo and kouan

It would go back and forth before he could say one Mo would already be like Bo boom boom boom Mo’s quick he’s hard to keep up with he’s a veteran bro he is a veteran veteran a little bit of that Dynamic with him well we’re the complete

Opposite you know Mo’s up here I’m down here but we kind of meet somewhere in the middle right we meet somewhere in the middle we kind of do the same thing um content wise like we’re only like we’re like two guine just eating food food and try to make funny make fun

Things but like you know he’s a little older than me I’m the young I’m young I don’t know we just get along it’s kind of fun it’s a good package deal I think you get Best of Both Worlds was it how did you meet Mo I think

Actually we should settle this on the Pod because me and mo have a little thing who met who first it’s kind of funny both of you hit me up at the same time the same day and every day same day I feel like we spoke about you on the

Phone like yet his kid lit I don’t know about like behind the scenes all I know is when I was had like 40,000 followers and I was living in Newport on Tik Tok you’re saying yeah I hit up my brother who live who lived in Hoboken at the

Time and I was like yeah I want to come down for a day because I know you have like some delies that are better than what I have and uh so I just went there I did a video and it blew up and then like you

And mo both hit me up in like the same day what Deli was it vetos vetos and Hoboken oh and Hoboken okay sandwich I got the frankon as sandwich added broccoli Rob I [ __ ] remember everything I’m good cuz he you remember like all your orders where you eat in places eh yeah I

Try for the most part you know works for me so we we both hit you up on the same day but who did you meet first did I meet first did you meet him at s yeah I met Mo first you met Mo first at

The S might be able to claim you that’s crazy mo that’s wild I’m claiming myself every I think once you can’t [ __ ] claim me once in a month we have like a little sparring action where we’re like who met K first I think Mo technically met me

First and then I came here with uh Nikki smigs JoJo Nikki think it was all of us it was all of us in this room um I missed those days a little bit yeah that’s like two years that’s good times [ __ ] around we got to do that again I

I think those days we were like L every couple of Tuesdays and try to do like four or five videos we were all like in we all young yeah I mean stag it’s kind of like the Avengers story or something or like or like Game of Thrones like the

Starks you know like who became ARA Stark who went you know yeah I mean now Nikki smig is a comedian Nikki and JoJo they just went fulltime s’s doing this thing on tour yeah everybody’s doing their thing I’m happy for everybody everybody’s doing well killing it s off the boat too was

Here s off the boat when you surround yourself with good people it just goes to show what’ll happen you know but speaking of something uh on the topic of food now a lot of people I’ve been seeing a lot of comments on our page and it’s pissing me off lately where it’s

Like oh Italians are so extra or italian-americans are so extra because they’ll talk to you in English and the second they say an Italian food they get all super Italian with it like oh I can’t wait to uh have some rot later right yeah like I’m not going to say I

Can’t wait to have the r you go over there yeah I almost spell something on the W it’s okay how banged up are you right now yeah I’m I’m like I didn’t eat anything except a slice of pizza and I’m like two two four drinks deep H hang in there we’re almost done

Here don’t worry yeah know I know I’m more done all right so back to my can I continue or yeah well you’re saying about ginies get real Italian when they talk about Italian Yeah so basically so like I’m saying like oh I want some rioto with the lasagna first

Of all you got a Chicago Jordan hat on which is embarrassing a Hat’s clean though shout out to my guy uh shout out JP gentleman great people taste real Chicago cuss Chicago is good what’s your favorite you love you love Chicago Chicago I get so disgusting in

Chicago it’s just not a good scene for me I think we’ve been to Chicago like six times together I’ve been to Chicago four times last year I feel like two for work and then two for play for pleasure well they were all for pleasure we will

Even though work was work work yeah it was work can I finish my story so usually have nothing to say in the P so you know so what I’m trying to say is you’re a peacock I gotta let you fly yeah all right keep going so the

Reason we say rot not RAR is because we grew up saying like you’ll say rot right right I’m not going to say rata that doesn’t make sense I didn’t grow up saying that but what do they expect us to say you get what I’m trying to say

Like what is the act act normal person expect an Italian to start I think not not to cut Koo off but I think they’re saying for other people that didn’t grow up saying I think for people like us they kind of get it I think you know

What is I think a lot of them think we’re faking it saying like we’re Goan comes out one word you know all those but it’s like that’s just I don’t know that’s just how I said it like I just grew up saying gamad I didn’t even

Know it was spelled with a c till it was like 13 we’re not going to say yeah order a f calamari like nobody’s saying that right but I don’t know I think if you didn’t grow up saying that and then you start then it’s weird but for us

It’s it sounds weird but like I don’t know people like grew up in New York that’s just how we say it I just don’t like that people think it’s a facade like no it’s not a facade we could say it normally like every can embarrass myself in other ways I don’t have to

Embarrass it saying gamad but it’s like you know how Spanish people say d de right we’re not gonna they’re not goingon to say d that’s the right way to say it dul Spanish people say caramel right it’s caramel yeah Spanish people say d de they’re not going to say do Dei

You know right so why don’t people get at them then you know what I mean why is do probably do we’re just not in that subset yeah we’re just not we’re not in that algorithm yeah we need kidas by kinas you know instead of

Meo we lost we lost K you want to hit him with a little over it under it bring that back yeah we should run back what we originally did 300th episode it’s only right all right so hold on I got go to go to Let’s I have some questions and

We’ll do that last what’s your your coffee order coffee order yeah you’re a Brooklyn guy well sometimes if I go to downstairs at The Panini shop I go to your father and I’m just like making me a coffee and what does he make for espresso I’m like do it your way no if

It’s an espresso I do like one sugar if it’s a Coffey and I make it uh your father’s way I think he gives me like french vanilla cream and a couple of sugars goes down like water but if I’m feeling miserable and want to be miserable I just drink it black no

Sugar at all no sugar at all see because I thought that was your order that’s why I asked that question but like a real order is just black Two Sugars for medium but what’s the point of that that one like why do you go that route what

The miserable route yeah I want to punish myself I don’t know I like pain that’s so weird bro today I want pain black you know if you just you know are you watching your calorie intake like what’s the situation Cal intakes been incredible I had a big Z I ate it

The entire day yesterday out of the fridge yeah people saying that you can’t have Big E cold was Karen’s last zi though yeah it was kind of Z I’m not going to lie that in the show zii look fire cuz the way they explain the mozzarella on

Top it’s Karen’s laiti all right um go to breakfast order you said the coffee are you still sold on the bacon egg and cheese like yeah I still got a bacon egg and cheese one slice of cheese salt pepper ketchup but also I’m not opposed to like a bagel and scall and cream

Cheese yeah I like a bagel scall and cream cheese all day wait so bacon and and cheese roll or Bagel depends how fat I’m feeling typically um normal cou what is you getting I like I like on a bagel I just like Bagels his

Roll not that I dislike it I like a roll for like you know like chicken cutlet s you know like a lunch something like a real cold cut sandwich bagel breakfast roll lunch yeah but if I have a bagel for breakfast I can’t eat any like roll

Or hero for lunch or dinner bro what he’s saying too is true like this kids are old so bagels are meant for butter cream cheese like they were never like all these crazy things on Bagels it’s like a new thing it’s also like you’re not supposed to have a bacon egg cheese

On a bagel it’s mainly just Bagel butter Bagel cheese but I just like a it gives it a little extra oomph you know especially if I know I’m not going to eat the rest of the day cuz I’m just out about and working yeah so you look like

A guy that like dunks his roll with butter and his coffee that’s crazy I Dr some french fries in a frosty once in a while I never understood that though I’m not a Sal and sweet I mean I’m not doing it the ENT I’ll do it like

A couple of three four fries but it’s bad the Wendy’s Frosty the Wendy’s 4 for four is [ __ ] wet what is that again a four for four they don’t even have it’s nuggets fries drink and a and a and a for $4 right a chicken sandwich or a

Burg I mean they wonder why we’re all overweight here but no he’s not money not getting but new post they have the $10 box a pizza no we didn’t have a pizza okay we actually didn’t have any fast food in New fast food pizza we had

One we have a best pizza shout out Frank in Newport yeah banging that was there when you were in col was that there when you were there not in college but it was there when I was still living there got I was still working they opened probably the last few months that

I was leaving they went out with a bang yeah yeah his pizza is me yeah it’s nice all right so I have a really random question and this is like something it wasn’t even specific like oh I got to ask who’s this but this is like a hot

Trending topic for the Italians on that side but what’s your stance with Beday have you ever used one before no never used a b that I don’t know I get weirded out first of all you always sh a [ __ ] and then shower I mean there very rare like you

Shouldn’t be [ __ ] after a shower during you know regularly so you time your day according to your who doesn’t wake up and take a [ __ ] sometimes like you need coffee or something for it to happen you need more fireable yeah maybe could be no I mean I’ve never used it I hear the

A luxury I was actually hanging out with uh my buddy New York Nico’s neighbor and I think she had a b day and uh I didn’t mean to use it you didn’t use it no you’re losing money if you don’t use somebody’s house that’s weird though

You just spraying up the club right just yeah you it’s like you’re your territory to be honest with you if you’re home just use wet wipes yeah that’s what I do I love wet wipes those are great bro they’re fantastic I don’t think they’re flushable I don’t think they’re supposed

To be down the draam wipes Spong come honestly honestly though like isn’t it crazy like if you wipe your butt and you throw it into garbage though yeah cuz it’s I’ve heard some people get mad about that like well you know what’s funny I used to work at a deli did you

Really [ __ ] yourself no no I’m serious he did he did I didn’t know that before before the restaurant he was at before new po before in island and like can we just get to the next subject I do like Beday though we should try it just not at somebody’s house

That’s crazy and Italy’s a standard like if we go to Italy together it’s in Europe right when I went to Italy they had a good day where you go what I do wash my face with supposed to wash your feet that’s like the main purpose supposed to wash your Bo everybody puts

I went to FL for a day Rome for two days only time I felt religious in the Vatican City I like yeah God’s real did like did the church start shaking when you walked in N this was pre cool this was I was still in high school so I was

A good old boy man things change demon came out now it be scary to go yeah so for the overrated underrated you want to do because the first time we had him we asked ice coffee you want you you could do the New York I’m was going to do like

The I don’t really want to say it because I want to see but it’s kind of a redo what we want me to take a piss and you discuss it cuz I got to go to go goad go you [ __ ] broke your seal over here [ __ ]

You oh are you done all right so we haven’t done this in a long time 300 300 episode and the trick behind this is this is a question we’ve asked him so I want to see if his answers are the same if he’s a fraud or not so overrated

Underrated perfectly rated yeah New York Pizza it’s I don’t even know what I said but it’s the best of the best so it’s underrated I guess why why is it underrated staring into my soul right now I think it’s just for me at least that’s all I know

Growing up it’s all I knew I didn’t know about like nepan uh naon naon or Chicago that casual [ __ ] so I don’t know New York piz just it just hits hard and there’s nothing like a regular slice from like a regular good oldfashioned Pizzeria it’s theand go slice good for

Super Bowl Sundays and yeah football Pizza football okay iced coffee uh it’s either perfectly or overrated some people just like will kill for I don’t kill for ice cof like right now we’re in the winter time obviously so if you’re drinking ice coffee you’re out of control there are some people that do

Though yeah there’s a percentage that drink drink ice coffee all year round big into the iced coffee right now I can’t do it I like a hot coffee even during the summer when I want to sweat a little bit cuz I ate too much hot coffee

But I like ice coffee I think it’s perfectly I got I got to revision to your answer and this time of year it’s overrated other time of year perfectly rated right okay it’s like HR like this time it’s perfectly any other time it’s over and have hot absolutely you know

All right last one bacon egg and cheese perfectly right you can’t you don’t think New Yorkers hype it up too much like let me get bacon egg and cheese H Pap a ketchup it’s yo a let me get pick for I mean they gotten a little expensive sometimes but like even the

One I go to but for a mint bacon egg and cheese is like seven bucks but I think that’s like a a great meal for $7 as like a New York like it has the amount of calorie I mean it’s not the best thing for you but like like for a

Cheap good decent meal and quick on the go I think you can’t get better than a bacon egg and cheese Arizona necessary Bev is necessary Arizona I think if you’re in high school or younger yes yeah but you know I feel like we’re on a Tik Tok like on the Tik

Tok explore page like yo yo let me get a big EG and cheese with Arizona you know well the Arizon aren’t even dollar some places dollar 25 25 inflation’s crazy biting get your act together all right so let’s do mine part my my little okay overed underrated or

Perfectly rated canoli canoli you got perfectly rated Everyone likes a good canoli I think it’s the day of canoli is the best like when they fill it on spot if it’s more than a day old then it gets soggy it’s gross it’s just not where you want

It to be you need that nice crack but you also need that fresh for go the inside that bounce to the crunch right yeah shout out Mario underrated I’ll be honest a lot of people don’t know what AAL Ison like a lot of people I know you love the

Fortunado swell you’re going crazy on those yeah I go way too often but shell is my number one bayry I think a swell when it’s nice and hot is very I love getting a Shri you cut it down the middle throw it in the toast of it

Getting nice and toasty with a nice little coffee in the morning that’s mint I’m not I’m not crazy about them at all what about that time we had the foyell and wasn’t that lifechanging a good swoel change your life life changing but it’s hard it’s

Easier to make a good canoli than it is to make a goodel n I disagree well you’re [ __ ] out of your mind bro there’s there’s like a handful of bakeries I know that are like the rotta cream inside the canoli is the best that’s hard to emulate no I but what

He’s saying is like you’ll find you find an okay canoli rather than an okay sh anywhere in the world I get what he’s saying okay mean that’s a fair argument I still don’t see the hype about though it’s just like lemon well you know some people just like canoli in their mouth

More I don’t know I mean to each their own right yeah you know i’ rather get the job done I’ll take it any day of the week I’d rather go down on the sh down uh last oneu now I must say the the last meal um

Shout out Linda the last meal I ever made with it was tiu I like tiu you know it’s uh TI what do you want to do yeah it’s it’s a good meal I think made right it’s good but it’s it’s difficult not a lot of people

    Probably the greatest midfielder ever, for sure, the greatest Italian one…⚽️

  2. Dude did not stop shaking his legs the entire podcast. Do we look at his face or his bulge? WTF?

  3. Congratulations on reaching 300, that’s quite an accomplishment. Been following you guys from your beginning and you’ve come such a long way. I always wondered why you didn’t change your name to “Growing Up Italian-American “. Just to keep those rude Northern Italians from making their stupid comments

  4. I never comment on these fucking things but really like the new intro and may the podcast continue to grow n prosper throughout this new year

  5. The hoodie is a NICKSCACCHETTI tapestry hoodie that releases in limited waves, sold out atm for all looking.
