And Mike is responding in German.

SPEAKER_00 0:43

I don't know that much German.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

So how it's gonna go, Mike, is I'm gonna say a word in Italian. And you're gonna have to guess what it means. And if you need help, I'll say it in a sentence.

SPEAKER_00 0:54

And when she says Mike, this is your problem too.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

It's a group issue. I hope you're brushed up on your Italian. I hope you just watched the Lizzie McGuire movie.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

And they can Google, I have no computer available to me. I don't have a phone for this.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:09

So we've got to do it. This is just Mike's brain.

SPEAKER_00 3:04

Speak?

SPEAKER_01 3:06

Close. Talking.

SPEAKER_00 3:07

Oh. So here what's the background here? You're not Italian.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

I'm not Italian. I'm not gonna visit Italy anytime soon or do anything like impressive with this knowledge, but I do have a three-year streak on Duolingo learning Italian.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

And I will say you're on level 38? 38, which is crazy. That's thousands of lessons, just so people who are like, and I can read it pretty well.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

I will say I never do like the talking exercises, so I'm probably really bad at saying it. But I can read it extremely well now, and the only reason I wanted to learn Italian was so that I could watch The Godfather and not have to read the subtitles. And I can now.

SPEAKER_00 3:53

It's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 3:54

Last time I watched it, because there's this one scene, sorry, you're gonna have to hear this, Mike. There's this one scene where he's talking, it's Michael Corleone, and he's talking to this other dude, and they have a cop at the table to like supervise them. And he goes, Do you mind if I speak in Italian? They don't put subtitles on the screen because we're supposed to be like the cop and not know what they're saying. But now I do. Now I know what you're saying.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

On top of all this, you do want to go to Italy someday.

SPEAKER_01 4:24

Yeah, someday when I'm rich. Yeah. So that ain't from this podcast, yeah.
