On this episode, we take a trip down memory lane talking about our old-school Italian and Italian-American upbringing—strict parents, loud houses, and lessons you didn’t question. Frank sparks a few questions that send Marcus straight into childhood stories and classic Italian debates. Are Italians really yelling… or just passionate? Is it better to be feared or loved? And is love always a good thing?
Plenty of laughs, real talk, and moments every Italian family will relate to.
