27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: in the fight they were about to. If there was

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,880

33
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: when everybody's pretty much had a lot to eat and drunk,

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: you play tombola and like here, we have to say

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: it in Italian and English because you know, some people

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: understand the numbers, but every number is a meeting, and

37
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: in Naples we call out the meaning and everybody already

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: know the number. But it's a lot of fun, is that.

39
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: Oh he cheated the number came out, it didn't come out.

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: And it's the one big argument across the table.

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: It's the best, the best fight you'll ever have. All right, Okay,

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: so let's get to work over the holidays. Akide I

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: heard a debate online about spaghetti. People who break spaghetti

44
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: in half so it will in their mind fit into

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: the pot of water.

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, I got this bums already.

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Oh there's the music now, we don't we

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: don't want to insult anyone, but at the same time

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: we do want to. We do want to say, hey,

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: Akill is from the old country. He's from not bully.

51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: He's here to tell us why it's important to get

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: a big enough pot to fit your spaghetti full of

53
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: water and not break it in half goh Akia. Why

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: is it important not to break spaghetti in half?

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: To us, it's hard and it's a bottle of good

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: owing up. So his little kid, my mom will cook

57
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: the spaghetti, never break him in half, and then she

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: will cut him with a little knife so I could

59
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: eat him. I was two years old. So when when

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: did they tell you he's a big boy, he's all

61
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: grown up now? When you were able to eat the

62
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: spaghetti without cotton? That was part of us growing up, wow,

63
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: and the other thing gave My grandfather used to sit

64
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: next to me so I would eat like him. So

65
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: if he tow old those spaghettis in his spoon, I

66
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: had to get the spoon and twirl them. If I

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: haven't told my mom to cut the spaghetti in half,

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: my grandfather will give me the back of his hand,

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: I will I would make a flip and land back

70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: on my feet. Oh wow, did it? It's it's out tradition.

71
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: You don't if you can't afford a big pot, then

72
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: don't eat the spaghetti. Eat these things in a can

73
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: they call spaghettios.

74
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus. And you have patience.

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: I feel like if you let it go enough time,

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: that spaghetti is eventually going to wind up in the pot.

77
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: You have to have patience for it.

78
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: You know, spaghetti. The spaghetti is me so that you

79
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: able to twirl it once or twice and erupts around

80
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: your ford. I feel I can half noodle spaghetti.

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: So Gandhi says she can twirl a half noodle. But

82
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: it but it doesn't make it. It won't. It won't

83
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: make a big enough blob.

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I just I how does the spaghetti cook all

85
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: the way when it doesn't go into the pot at

86
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: the same diact it does?

87
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: It does? It does go to the poto? I believe you.

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: I just need to know how I imagine gets there.

89
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: And you get a boat that's at least YETI is

90
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: anywhere from ten to twelve inches long. Yeah, to get

91
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: a pot, fill it with water and you turn them

92
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: on the side. You put them in sideways. But if

93
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: your pot is not big enough to do that. Just

94
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: put the spaghetti's sway up. They start to cook. The

95
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: steam itself softens them so within the within less than

96
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: a minute, the spaghetti goes right in the water. It

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: can't do anything else. I'm gonna have to try this.

98
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: It will.

99
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: It's made to be cooked that way.

100
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm a spaghetti breaker. I'm not gonna lie, but half

101
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: cooked faster because because that one is exposed to the

102
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: water longer.

103
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: It's so magic. Spaghetti is a magical thing all the same.

104
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: It does, it does.

105
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: It is why you don't break up that monagon. You

106
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: gotta keep it the same.

107
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, and you know, you put your spaghetti,

108
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: and you gotta have a big pot.

109
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: Is gotta be full of water. You gotta water. Let

110
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: that water.

111
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you put the spaghetti in and it all

112
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: splays out right.

113
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: And then.

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: And when it when it when it cooks enough on

115
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: the bottom, you stir it and it will fall down

116
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: into the water and it will cook beautifully, and then

117
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: you can twirl on your fork beautiful.

118
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: I eat that for the spaghetti while they cooked, because

119
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: I don't believe in the time, So I constantly have

120
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: to pick one, put it about twelve inches up and

121
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: then a little bit little eat it. Yeah, the best

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: powder cooked spaghetti.

123
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: Eat it, eat it all right?

124
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: Now, well coming over, I'm gonna make spaghetti in a little.

00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: How much how much espresso have you already had?

127
00:06:53,920 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: I'm already on my sports cup. I leave the house

128
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: and me and my son might go make bread and

129
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: we'll have about three more before my son Agio shows up.

130
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: We'll have one or two more. And then if all

131
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: this shows off, then we'll start with the spicy margaritas

132
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: and the paper playing down.

133
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,000

138
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,280

Speaker 2: It will change your life.

144
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I won't dare spaghetti. If somebody gives me spaghetti,

145
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: I give you one better. When we open up the

146
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: package of spaghetti and they broke, we put them on

147
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: the side and we use them for soups. So if

148
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: I'm made and I cut the spaghetti's real smaller, he goes,

149
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: that's the only time you've got spaghetti's.

150
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, what about do you cut it for that

151
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: or not?

152
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: We cut him.
