Eat spaghetti and drink wine.

Is that what you do on vacation?

That's vacation.

In Italy, that's all I'm going to be able to afford to do.

It's going to be like the bicycle thief.

I'm going to steal a bike.

I'm going to recreate a modern version of it.

But I bet Italian jail has good food.

Yeah.

It's going to be a very neorealist vacation for you.

Yeah.

So here we go. We're going to do... We're going to do this. We're going to talk about Speak Easy. So... Let's imagine that music just came up. We can use that as an intro, actually.

You can use that as an intro because this is Speak Easy, where we don't plan what we're going to speak about.

That's right. We're speaking easily. And this is going to be a great show. We're going to play some

behind-the-scenes stuff for you, as we always do in these special speakeasy bonus podcasts.

And first up is us. I guess this is going to kind of be a food themed show. We've only got a couple of clips, but they're both about food. Yeah. Well, we should tell them too, in case they're about to hit

stop, that Jim Gaffkin's going to show up later, some behind the scenes of Jim Gaffigan, the

comedian, who is very funny, even funnier behind the end. We've got to keep them listening to us, Rico.

So let's do it second.

Okay, but there's plenty of it's worth listening to in this clip coming up.

Yeah, and this first stuff is really fun.

So we were in Chicago just a few weeks ago, and we were invited by the Sportful, which is a great food podcast produced by WNYC Labs.
