In this solo episode of Cawfee Tawk, I break down the very Italian-American phrase "finalmente." Technically it means "finally"… but culturally? It means, "About time. What took you so long?"

Finally got engaged. Finally had a baby. Finally bought a house. Somehow a win turns into a subtle roast.

I talk about how living in a constant "finalmente" mindset keeps us chasing the next thing instead of celebrating how far we've come. Why does every accomplishment immediately get followed by, "Okay… so what's next?" And why do so many of us feel like if we say something good out loud, we'll jinx it and it won't happen?

I also open up about going to therapy—not because something is "wrong," but because having an unbiased space to talk feels safe and necessary. Plus, I get into the New York accent discourse—why people think we sound uneducated when so many of us are anything but—and how growing up in New York is the reason I talk fast, drop half my consonants, and never finish a word.

It's funny, a little vulnerable, and maybe the permission you need to enjoy your wins without a "finally" attached to them.

This week on Cawfee Tawk, I'm sittin' down with my friend and hilarious comedian Greg Baldwin for a real one. We're tawkin' about everything from how to train yourself into a legit New York accent (it's not just yelling "I'm walkin' here!") to the highs and hangovers of chasing greatness in comedy.

Greg opens up about his journey — how addiction started at a young age, how he found himself deep in it, and how he's now 19 years sober. What began as an act of kindness — buying groceries for a struggling comic and helping him get sober — unexpectedly led Greg to his first comedy show… and ultimately to producing the Legends comedy show. What started as an impressions night turned into a room filled with comedy royalty, including alums from Saturday Night Live. He shares what it's really like having access to the green room — the stories, the pressure, the magic behind the curtain.

I share my own rollercoaster — landing the New York Yankees job and going from the stage to the big screen in centerfield, thinking 2020 was finally gonna be my year… and then watching touring, momentum, and even my wedding plans disappear overnight.

We get honest about the business: the constant chase for the "next big thing," how comparison robs you of your own glory, and how we both overthink so much we forget to actually enjoy the wins. We talk failure, ego, anxiety, meditation (which I can't do), and how even in the middle of big moments, the smallest things can take you down.

At the end of the day, it's about finding that happy medium — being okay with the highs, the lows, and living a life of service.

It's funny. It's vulnerable. It's a little chaotic. Basically, it's cawfee with two overthinkers trying to figure it out.

In this solo episode of Cawfee Tawk, I define the very Italian-American condition known as agita—that constant low-grade stomach churn you get when other people's words, actions, and choices affect you way more than you want them to.

I talk about how much time I spend fixating on things I can't control, and how that mental spiral eats up entire days of my life. We get into why my divorce video went viral (spoiler: it wasn't an accident), and why so many of us are walking around with the same quiet frustration, grief, and resentment—just in different packaging.

I break down the hard truth that we can't control other people, we can't control circumstances, and we can't avoid everything that causes us agita. Even the highs in life don't always balance out the lows—and pretending they should only adds more pressure.

I also talk about real friendship: the kind that doesn't require maintenance, scripts, or fake "hellos." The kind where you can call your best friend at any moment and say, "The best thing just happened" or "The worst thing just happened," and they meet you exactly where you are—no warm-up required.

If you've ever felt emotionally exhausted by other people, overwhelmed by things you can't fix, or guilty for wanting less noise and more peace… this one's for you.

Let's talk agita.

On this episode of Cawfee Tawk, I sit down with chef and restaurateur Tara Punzone, a woman whose destiny was written in the sauce. From her grandparents' Italian grocery in Brooklyn—organically becoming a neighborhood hero shop—to opening the country's first all Southern italian vegan restaurant and wine bar, Tara's journey proves that passion really can be genetic.

Warm, gracious, and a lifelong animal lover, Tara didn't set out to preach veganism—she just wanted to bring Southern Italian food to Los Angeles without giving up her values. We talk about the very Italian habit of talking ourselves out of our dreams (especially when your dad lovingly warns, "Restaurants take over your life"), and the moment everything changed when Tara heard Howard Stern mention a vegan restaurant in NYC.

What happened next is a masterclass in showing up: Tara walked in on a busy Saturday night, asked what credentials she needed, got invited back, stepped into the kitchen, and earned the job. It's the lesson Chazz always reminds me of—show up. Or as I say: just get me in the room and I'll prove myself.

We also get personal—being New Yorkers in LA, Tara's year in Rome where she couldn't get hired because she was (drumroll)… a woman, and what it means to be the last generation preserving Italian culture. Tara opens up about being an "oh shhh" baby, coming into the world years after unimaginable family loss, and growing up in a house that fed everyone—especially kids that didn't come from two parent homes like she did.

Her new book, Vegana Italiana, is a love letter to her family roots, filled with recipes, memories, and a mission: honor where you come from while staying true to who you are. This one's about food, family, courage—and answering the call that's been in your DNA all along.

In this solo episode of Cawfee Tawk, I introduce the Italian American word of the week: SPOOSTAD — from the Italian spostato, meaning moved, displaced, spaced out… or whatever is currently happening to me.

I talk about walking into rooms and not knowing why I'm there (is it perimenopause?), why I say H-U-G-E as yuge and not huge (New York accents need boundaries), and I debut my very best Marisa Tomei "Imagine You're A Deer" impression.

We also get into my deep love of movies and music — how I can quote Italian American films and hip-hop songs verbatim. I make mention that I miss my Boroughbred interviews, and how that nostalgia inspired the name of my new Boroughbred Tour. Plus, I completely fumble the word transplants and accidentally call non-native New Yorkers implants… which honestly might be more accurate.

It's unfiltered, nostalgic, slightly unhinged, and very SPOOSTAD. Pour the cawfee and sit with me.

Adam Ferrara joins Cawfee Tawk for a real, funny, and thoughtful conversation about the moments that shape a comic — onstage and off.

We talk about Adam's first time performing stand-up, growing up in a chaotic, but loving household, and learning comedy through a Walkman filled with stand-up albums, with Richard Pryor as his first and favorite. Adam shares the surreal moment Pryor told him he was "f—ing funny," and how that was a "BOOM" moment in his life.

Adam also reflects on telling his parents he wanted to be a stand-up, his father's advice to go for it before regret sets in, and what it was like working opposite Edie Falco on Nurse Jackie. We dive into ADHD, relatability, and Adam's writing process — especially the idea about letting go of what you think a bit is supposed to be so you allow it to become what it truly is, which turns out to be a great metaphor for life.

Funny, honest, and grounded, this episode is about trusting your voice, embracing the mess, and giving yourself permission to become who you already are.

On this solo episode of Coffee Talk, I'm introducing the Italian American Word of the Week: Mushad. Mushad is how you say you're feeling low, sad, or emotionally heavy… and it's also what happens when your pasta is overcooked and turns to mush. Either way, nobody wants to stay there too long.

I use Mushad as a way to open up about how difficult the holidays and December were for me, and how easy it is to slip into a mood you don't recognize—or don't want to admit you're in. We talk honestly about depression, how many people quietly live with it, and how exhausting it can feel when nothing seems to help.

This episode is about finding support, reaching for the right people and resources, and learning when to help—and when to accept that you can't fix or save someone who isn't ready to help themselves. You can care deeply without carrying everything.

Real talk, a little humor, and a reminder that feeling Mushad is human—but it doesn't have to be permanent.

In this solo Cawfee Tawk, I finally answer the question people always ask me: How did I get here?

Before comedy became my full-time life, I was living a full-time double life — school counselor by day, comedian by night. Two worlds that felt like they had to stay completely separate… until they didn't.

In this episode, I talk about why I never merged those two identities at first, how scary it was to defer a dream because it didn't feel "realistic," and how I eventually realized that every single thing we do every day can become part of our skill set — even the jobs we think are just "for now."

I share the moment I finally allowed myself to tell stories about the kids and my experiences in schools, how that honesty changed my comedy, and why the kids were actually part of my dream too. I also tell the very real (and very uncomfortable) story about a parent seeing one of my comedy videos where I wasn't exactly school-appropriate… and then having to sit across from her and explain what her son did wrong at school.

This episode is about timing, courage, and trusting that nothing in your life is wasted. Sometimes we don't abandon the dream — we're just building toward it in ways we don't recognize yet.

Pour the cawfee — this one's real.

This week on Cawfee Tawk, I introduce the Italian-American word of the week: Shangad — disheveled, run down, and very much the vibe. I'm keeping it real about how hard this past holiday season was, the disappointment that comes with family, and why December can be heavy even when you're preaching joy. I talk about owning what I couldn't practice, the actions I need to take to never feel this way again, and why I'm also happily shangad after a last-minute run of shows opening for the legend Jo Koy. Exhausted, grateful, honest — and proud to keep our Italian-American culture alive one word at a time.

We get into why the first Monday after the holidays is one of the biggest divorce-filing days of the year, why January brings up so much truth, and how dwelling keeps us stuck. This is about starting small, trusting yourself, and choosing forward without burning everything down.
