About this listen

On this episode, Peter and Mike reflect on how their parents’ thick Italian accents shaped their lives in America — from everyday misunderstandings to the creative ways they mangled their kids’ and spouses’ names. Ever had to explain that your brother-in-law’s name isn’t “Dork”? They have.

And debuting this week: a brand new segment called “Voice-a-Mail-a” — where the guys try to decode their parents’ voicemails using only the unhinged auto-transcripts from voicemail apps. It’s part mystery, part language lesson, and all chaos.

Subscribe for laughs, family vibes, and a lovingly exaggerated look at life between two cultures.👇
