## Resource

The boys are back from their international travels, and they brought all the heat! Guido sits down with the legendary George Assily(fresh off a wild, and somewhat violent, trip to Lebanon and London) and Fabrizio (who was hanging with the real royalty at the Ferrari F1 car launch in Italy). This is a firestorm of travel stories and comedy as George recounts his adventures in Beirut—from meeting his dad for the first time in years to navigating the local economy (where $1 USD is a million Lira!), the amazing food, and, yes, getting choked by an Uber driver over a $20 dispute. Meanwhile, Fabrizio breaks down the high-life of a Scuderia Ferrari club president, a behind-the-scenes look at the new F1 season launch in Maranello, and the cardinal sin of eating pasta on a flat plate. You’ll also get George’s hot take on British comedians and the infamous St. Leonard Dictionary. We asked for the greatest minds of our time to start a podcast. They refused. So we settled for the complete opposite. ..
