So my wife got mad at me, Joy, in Italy.

So, you know, when I go over there, I said, I'm shutting my phone off for six days,

and I'm just being immersed in the Italian culture.

So I was reading books going over there, and I watched movies.

And so when I get over there, it's just I start walking around. I start shopping. I just love the people of Italy. And I didn't really notice I was doing it. But when I ordered, I'd use my hands and my body changed. And my wife would be like, what are you doing with your hands? And I'm like, I want to touch the people and be part. And then I would say, oh, I want to go shopping at Dorce and Gabana. And she's like, stop it. What are you doing? And I would say, well, I want to feel like Italian. She said, you wouldn't go to Nashville and go, hey, you guys like NASCAR. I love NASCAR. Stop trying to speak Italian. And I said, I can't help it.

And every word ends with E and A and O. And so my wife is like, I can't be around you. You've got to

stop. And I literally battled it for seven days because I so love the people and the culture and the

wine. And I felt like I wanted

to be Italian. I was jealous of it. Well, first of all, I have second hand and embarrassment for you

and I know exactly what you're talking about. But also when you're trying to speak another

language, you can't just say it how you would say it in English. So you have to say with the, you know,

you have to add the Italian flair to that's part of the language of speaking the language. You don't just speak it, you know, like, you come up, I'd be like, can I have some prosciutto? Yeah. You wouldn't say, can I have some prosciutto? And my wife's like, what, what are you doing? And I'm like, I want some prosciutto.

I'm your Italian lover.

No, but you can't speak to English.
