Made in America... this week's episode title says it all for this week's discussion between Simon & Mel, with the craziness going on in the United States. We stole it from the name of the final episode of The Sopranos which we've previously discussed. We're talking about the protests and riots in America stemming from the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the responses from Trump and Biden, police brutality, as well as the false narrative being told by left leaning mainstream media organisations. We also discuss the social media rant by Candace Owens who brought up some eye-opening statistics to demonstrate that things may not be quite what the media would have you believe. We touch on the SpaceX launch to the International Space Station and the 76th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Normandy during World War II. We also have an interesting conversation where Mel gives his extensive insight into gun laws in Australia, particularly in Western Australia, and what the requirements are to purchase, own, store and use a firearm in WA. And we end with the brilliant mind of British writer and philosopher, Alan Watts: "You are Eternal the Universe". [DISCLAIMER]: We had some minor audio issues this week, which Simon has used his audio editing genius to try to remedy. So our apologies for the ever-so-slightly poorer quality sound at some points of this episode (it's not that bad!).

Chronicles On The Fly - Big Willy Slappin' with Anthony Locascio
play

04/02/22 • 65 min

Comedian Anthony Locascio is back on the pod with Mel, Dom and Simon, smack bang in the middle of his Australian comedy tour: "Don't Call Me a Wog!".


We discuss:

  • The Will Smith Oscars slap on Chris Rock, and Anthony has his own hard luck story of being slapped on stage.
  • Italy's disappointing mis-qualification for another World Cup, what's wrong with Italian football, who we want to see win the World Cup, and who will win Serie A.
  • Shane Warne, the Diego Maradona of cricket.
  • The war in Ukraine.
  • And the farce of Italian bureaucracy as Anthony has a long wait for an Italian passport.

Anthony's full Australian tour dates can be found at his Instagram.


Perth listeners can find tickets for 6 & 7 May 2022 at perthcomedyfestival.com/event/anthony-locascio-dont-call-me-a-wog.

We enjoyed this conversation with Comedian and Podcaster, Anthony Locascio.
Anthony is the host of the Kevin Lasagna Appreciation Podcast, and is known for his sharp wit and unique storytelling, as well as his musings on his very interesting Italian and Greek background.
We discuss his comedy career, our common cultural backgrounds, our respective podcasts, our shared love and passion for football, especially of the Italian kind, and he even has a very interesting perspective on the current controversy over Dave Chapelle's latest Netflix special.
When listening to this episode you'll have an appreciation for the Italian name Kevin, want to cook a lasagna for your next Sunday family lunch, and you'll laugh at the clips of Anthony's standup comedy.

We have an update on the future of the podcast.
It's Mel & Simon this week, as Dom headed out of town before Perth was thrown into lockdown, with new COVID-19 cases coming out of hotel quarantine again and spreading into the community.
We discuss how the state's Premier, Mark McGowan, has NOT "kept us safe", despite the media and a naive public lapping up his rhetoric that he has kept us safe, and how his government has been incompetent and negligent in allowing the latest outbreak from quarantine in to the community.
And we have our say on the European Super League controversy that arose last week.
Then we finish with a classic. One of the most inspirational speeches in recorded history, by Charlie Chaplin in the 1940 American political satire comedy-drama film, "The Great Dictator", which he wrote, directed, produced, scored and starred in.

We're livestreaming the podcast on Facebook with a special guest!
It's a robust family affair with listener Karl. He's Mel and Dom's cousin and a keen listener of the Chronicles, and he's lucky enough to get his mug on camera in this 4-way free-for-all. The 4 of us begin with some Italian soccer trash talk before we get into the rape accusations leveled at Australia's Attorney General, Christian Porter. And it's a very interesting discussion with some varied opinions. Some state vs federal politics talk. We also discuss Joe Biden's mental state and U.S. politics. And we finish up our chat with a bit about The Sopranos, funny movies, and Karl's favourite topic: conspiracies. Then we close the show with Stevie Van Zandt talking about being Silvio Dante on The Sopranos and Bruce Springsteen's sidekick in the E Street Band. ******
