The Funniest Things Italians Do at the Dinner Table with James Liotta

The Funniest Things Italians Do at the Dinner Table with James Liotta

Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi October 28, 2025 Duration: 50:53

This week we’re joined by Italian comedian, MC, and TV host James Liotta, a man who’s been performing since the age of eight from school plays to TV screens to hosting some of Australia’s biggest weddings.


We dive into Italian family life, the chaos and charm of Italian weddings, and the non-negotiables of a true Italian feast. From antipasto towers to dessert spreads that never end, James gives us his take on what makes an Italian celebration truly unforgettable and hilariously unpredictable.


We talk growing up in Italian comedy, his favourite family dishes, and what it’s like being the man behind the mic at weddings where food and family reign supreme. Plus, we tackle the most important debates: Pizza or pasta? Cannoli or tiramisù? Pistachio or Nutella?


If you love Italians, weddings, and comedy served with a side of food talk, this episode is a feast.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when people who are genuinely obsessed with food get together, and that's exactly what you'll find on The Food Guys Podcast. Hosts Dub and Nectorious Papi don't just review meals; they dive headfirst into the entire universe of what we eat. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a lively table where the topics range from breaking down the latest fast-food menu item to heated debates about beloved or despised ingredients. The discussion is always grounded in a real passion-they love to talk about food just as much as they love to eat it. You'll hear more than just their opinions, though. They regularly bring other voices into the mix, from well-known names in the food industry to local business owners and fellow food lovers. These conversations are packed with the hosts' natural chemistry, which means plenty of laughter, friendly banter, and the occasional good-natured argument. Tuning into this podcast is like getting an insider's look at food culture, served with a side of humor and genuine curiosity. It’s a show for anyone who thinks about their next meal while they’re still eating the current one.
