Pull up a chair and pour yourself a hot cawfee—this week, Bronx’s own Tara Cannistraci welcomes Staten Island’s rising comedy star Nicky Paris for a no-holds-barred tawk about life, laughs, and lasagna. These two Italian-American firecrackers dive deep into their borough upbringings, and how agida is a term they are bringing to Los Angeles.

Nicky confesses his sacrilegious obsession with chain restaurants (yes, Tara gasps), and the two pitch their dream campaign for congress with the slogan: "Make Pizzerias Italian Again." It’s a hilarious and heartfelt episode filled with loud opinions, big laughs, and even bigger personalities.

If you love classic Italian-American banter, comedy with a side of marinara, and brutally honest borough pride—you’ll feel right at home.

New episodes every week. Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and most importantly—don’t tawk with your mouth full.
