      Ciao paesani, enjoyed watching you with Michael, nice chat. Pero, devo dire che...ok, letza talka Aussie farken, the very first Italians (two of them) in Australia (believe it or not) were on the first fleet in 1770. yeah quite amazing.
      First Italians that came in droves were really during the gold rush of the 1850's so paesani, we go back a while here in Australia. So sorry, had to correct you Melbourne boys unless you were talking or meaning that you families came here during the 50's & 60's like mine then very good farken. Now, you capishishti cucuzza hahahah. Sorry, had to throw that in.
      Love your work, very authentic and takes me back to my parents and grandparents when they were alive. grazie da cuore. Take care paesani.

      Exactly agree with you! Our people go back well before the 50s and 60s in Australia. Might be an idea for the Sooshi boys to find Gianfranco Cresciani's book titled 'Migrants or Mates' and get a good history lesson on Italian migration in Australia.

    The zones the one guy is talking about is called The Blue Zones where people consistently live over 100 years old. In the US the blue zone is in LomaLinda California. Okinawa Japan is one. The first book called The Blue Zones, was about 5 areas. I think the second book includes a few more. The things they all had in common was several generations lived in the house, they all had a purpose to get up in the morning, ate real food not from cans and exercised daily. Very interesting book.

    It's so funny when one of the guys is asked if kangaroos are just jumping around everywhere in Oz. It's so funny how stereotypes work. My dad told me a story about New York students he taught when he was working in Rochester. One of them asked him if it was true that there were Indians in Indiana. He jokingly said, 'Yeah, one behind every tree !". I never forgot that story, and it reminded me of skewed perspectives !

    Very interesting what you said about food. There is a lot to what was observed, namely the additives. These can lead to all kinds of physical and mental problems. Bread is a great example. It needs flour, water, a little salt, yeast and that is the maximum what bread is made from. With that in mind look at the list of ingredients for supermarket breads. It will make you wonder that there is still space for bread in all of that.

    I’m a 3rd generation Napolitan. My Mom told me that when still was still living home with her parents, her Pa used to send her down the street to place the bet with the bookies who were Sicilian. Grandpa used to say that Sicilians weren’t real Italians. As an adult, I came to realize that Italy wasn’t unified until 1871. Grandpa was born in 1896 and came to the States to Rochester NY when he was 16 yrs old. So Grandpa couldn’t understand or speak the Sicilian dialect and vice versa. My mother married a Dutchman who was Dutch Reformed Protestant AKA NOT Catholic!!! Two of my aunts married Sicilians who were at least Catholic! My Grandpa didn’t speak to my Mom for 2 yrs after she got married to Dad behind the altar rail in our Catholic Church. Grandpa grew to love my Dad who did eventually convert to Catholicism “for the children”. But Grandpa was never crazy about the Sicilians!!! I very much enjoyed the food from both Italian cultures. Naples - the pasta with black eel sauce. We didn’t eat the tripe or cardoons. But Uncle Louie made a great salad with anchovies that I loved. Always a jug of Gallo wine at Grandpa’s feet. In the morning , Grandpa would make a shake with raw eggs that I couldn’t stomach. We always had company. Grandpa married a German girl he met when he served in the US Army in WWI. Grandma would bring out the Demitasse cups, sugar cubes and cream for the expresso. Our neighbor, Johnny, childhood friend with polio would come over. Somehow the men would get Johnny and his wheelchair in the house. I loved to sit in Johnny’s lap in that wheelchair. Fond memories of my childhood.

    Very entertaining,educational, and cultured information. Especially the part how parents use to discipline in the old times. Im from that generation. Brings me back memories. Funny some experiences with my parents discipline in my childhood now that i think about them as an adult and other memories not funny at all.mom especially was the one that made good use of dads belts.dad used them less but his tone of voice had authority it would make me and my sister stop from being bad.he didn't need to use the belt.Definitely the older generation of kids was more respectful. That's a fact.This millennial generation can be scary when you hear or read about how this millennial youth is with their parents. Even teachers are disrespected. Feel sorry for those in the educational profession. Not all schools. But cases exist. Mr.franzese was interesting to know how your childhood discipline by your parents was.brought me memories of my childhood, too.about the cleaning part of the interview. It's true that when a person cleans,you make discoveries in the home. When i clean i find things i didn't reamember i had.i find treasures!😂😂

    Great show. Licking my chops for next installment of these guys.
    As far as the corporal punishment, which is easily arguable for resulting in more disciplined, principled individuals, those passing laws against the most basic level of it don't seem to have a clue that this does not deter anything: those that are inclined to intentionally inflict physical harm on a child are of a mindset that does not recognize whether it is "illegal" or not. How are laws against murder working out in preventing murder? Yet the broader now-lack of measured deterrent for childhood irresponsibility is pretty much evident.

How about the good towels!! We couldn’t touch any of the towels in the bathroom! I’m a retired Community Health Nurse in the inner city in Rochester, Ny. I have to tell you that when I walk into a Hispanic families house, I feel like I’m in my mother’s house! Spotless! You couldn’t use the coffee table for coffee because it’s full of Knick knacks. But my favorite culture is the Muslims!! They’re the most gracious and generous. I walk in the house, all the pics on the wall are hung just below the ceiling way up high. They live multigenerationally like us Italians did when I was a child. I’m there to check on the new mom and newborn baby. I notice the Grandma quietly exiting to the kitchen. About 15 min later, the Grandma comes back carrying a beautiful silver tea set with cakes and cookies. I’ve given up trying to explain that the family doesn’t have to entertain me!! Technically, we’re not supposed to eat in our patients homes but I would be rude to decline!! I love the Muslims!!

    I just had a thought while watching this, it’s a bit random, during the early 19th century when Italians first came to Australia they brought with them there espresso, now fast forward to today and Australia ranks number 1 in the world for coffee, Starbucks failed here in Australia because we love our coffee culture, why didn’t Italians bring over the espressos for Americans to adopt instead of that drip coffee you all drink?
