This week on Breaking Bread it's an Italian love affair - the hilarious Joe Gatto joins us! The words spumoni, cannoli, and biscotti are said often - but those are actually just the names of Joe's many dogs. These two peas in a pod talk all about their shared interests: desserts, Italian families, and comedy. They bonded so much they will soon collaborate on a short film. Tom's wife is not allowed to listen to this episode, if you're not Tom's wife, please enjoy!
