=== Extortion For Beginners (02:40) ===

[00:00:00]  I gotta be real with you.
[00:00:01]  If you're in the mafia and you're listening to this, I have some advice for you.
[00:00:04]  But if you take it, you can't do it to us.
[00:00:06]  Can I give it to them, Liz?
[00:00:08]  Before you say that, I would say hello and thank you for subscribing to our Patreon.
[00:00:14]  Buena Shorno.
[00:00:15]  Yes.
[00:00:16]  My female companion is arm in arm with me on this.
[00:00:20]  Almost as if she was my companion, compania.
[00:00:24]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:00:25]  Okay.
[00:00:26]  I will say this: if you're in the mafia and listen to this, I have a great business opportunity for you.
[00:00:30]  You know, podcasts?
[00:00:31]  You know, Patreon, that kind of bullshit, right?
[00:00:34]  Check this out.
[00:00:35]  You just go to these guys' houses and be like, you give me like 10% and I won't fucking kill you.
[00:00:43]  And they're going to say yes.
[00:00:44]  Wait, you're saying we should do that?
[00:00:46]  No, we shouldn't.
[00:00:47]  I mean, we could do that.
[00:00:49]  But I'm saying if you're in the mafia, I also get 1% of that because I gave you the idea.
[00:00:53]  But my whole thing with this, Liz, is with extortion.
[00:00:57]  This is the Brace Belden rule of extortion.
[00:00:59]  You want to extort someone for a really low amount so that it's more of a hassle to report it to the police than it is to just pay them.
[00:01:07]  Like you want to basically make it so that getting a lawyer or like getting police involved would cost, technically cost more than just paying off the extortion.
[00:01:17]  This is also like my other idea where you should kidnap someone for $50.
[00:01:22]  And if they, because people will just pay, like, if someone kidnapped, like, I think the cost benefit on that, you got to kind of weigh, I mean, it's going to cost you more than $50 to kidnap someone.
[00:01:32]  No, but like, I'm like, well, like your neighbor or something, right?
[00:01:35]  Like, if someone like called me was like, it's not like proximity that's the cost on that.
[00:01:39]  What's the cost then?
[00:01:40]  Gas?
[00:01:41]  Yeah.
[00:01:41]  I thought you made a gas and stuff.
[00:01:43]  Oh, my God.
[00:01:44]  Because if someone called me and was like, I have Liz, it's $50 to release her.
[00:01:48]  I'd be like, well, I'll just pay that.
[00:01:50]  I mean, it's not like I call the police or anything.
[00:01:52]  It'll take way longer.
[00:01:54]  Okay, so if someone calls you and I'm kidnapped, will you please call the police?
[00:01:57]  I don't care what the amount is.
[00:01:58]  Well, it is $50.
[00:02:00]  I'm just going to pay the $50, dude.
[00:02:03]  But I'm not calling the police ever.
[00:02:05]  First of all, a cab.
[00:02:07]  So if anyone ever calls me and is like, I have Liz, and I'm going to murder her, I'll be like, I'll give you whatever you want as long as it's under $75.

=== Young Spaghetti Episode (02:12) ===

[00:02:40]  Hello, everyone.
[00:02:41]  I'm Liz.
[00:02:42]  My name, of course, you know me, you love me, Meatball.
[00:02:46]  And of course, we are joined by producer Young Chomsky.
[00:02:49]  And the podcast is called.
[00:02:51]  Truman, hello.
[00:02:52]  I thought you were going to call him like Young Spaghetti.
[00:02:54]  Young spaghetti?
[00:02:55]  No.
[00:02:56]  Let me call him.
[00:02:56]  What can I call him?
[00:02:58]  Rigatone.
[00:03:00]  He's the pulp.
[00:03:01]  He's the young pulp.
[00:03:03]  He's the young pulp.
[00:03:04]  He's a baby pulp.
[00:03:06]  Did you ever watch young pope?
[00:03:08]  Fuck.
[00:03:09]  Under what circumstances would I watch the young pulp, Liz?
[00:03:13]  I watched it.
[00:03:14]  Yeah, you and I are different people.
[00:03:16]  I'm a copy.
[00:03:17]  That's why.
[00:03:18]  He is hot, right?
[00:03:20]  He's a guy.
[00:03:21]  Oh, he's well.
[00:03:22]  No, he's a young pope.
[00:03:24]  Yeah.
[00:03:25]  But like, isn't he?
[00:03:26]  I mean, he's like a young actor.
[00:03:28]  I don't know.
[00:03:28]  It's all very stylish.
[00:03:29]  It was very weird.
[00:03:30]  I don't really understand it.
[00:03:32]  I will say this.
[00:03:33]  Much, I feel like, I mean, this is, as if you can't tell, a little Italian episode.
[00:03:38]  I feel like damn Italy 2020 because I'm still sick.
[00:03:42]  Oh my God.
[00:03:44]  Yeah.
[00:03:45]  I got this fucking.
[00:03:47]  Listen to me.
[00:03:47]  It's awful.
[00:03:48]  Yeah.
[00:03:50]  We're back.
[00:03:52]  We're back in the mafia, Liz.
[00:03:54]  We are back.
[00:03:54]  And we've got part two of our Mafia 101 episode with Matt from Ghost Stories for the End of the World right now.
[00:04:14]  You know, around these parts at Truanon, we're like one big family, right?
[00:04:20]  That's true.
[00:04:21]  They always think of us.
[00:04:22]  The true fam.
[00:04:23]  It's true, Bris.
[00:04:23]  You're always referring to Truinon as a family, right?
[00:04:27]  I am.
[00:04:28]  I am.
[00:04:28]  And you keep saying the family.
[00:04:31]  Yeah.
[00:04:31]  Well, you call it the clan, Liz.
[00:04:34]  With a C.
[00:04:35]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:04:36]  Yeah, but several C's, unfortunately, which I don't think doesn't make sense.
[00:04:41]  But you know what?
[00:04:43]  That actually led me to think: what other culture uses a bunch of C's and words and that make them hard to pronounce for me?
[00:04:50]  And that would be the Italians.
