Irony head-to-head between Fiorello and the guest of the episode, Virginia Raffaele. The episode begins by trying to reveal the great mystery of the identity of the street artist Banksy: “No one knows who he is” – says Fiorello, and then frames a photograph – “Look at the news: here is the amateur shot that would reveal the artist’s identity . This is the elbow, the t-shirt, the hand… guys, it’s Roberto Sergio, the CEO of Rai! He is the one who makes these drawings.” Rai’s comment on Amadeus is then mentioned: “Rai deals with Amadeus. ‘It is and remains an added value’. Did you understand what they told you? That you are an added value, Rai already has an added value, they give you added value” – he jokes with his friend.
We are once again talking about the scandal in the Puglia region and the recent statement by the governor Michele Emiliano: “He doesn’t know if his name is Michele or Emiliano. ‘With the mayor Decaro we are brotherly friends’, so much so that he gave him a diary with all the numbers of the bosses” – adds the host ironically – “Emiliano, don’t say anything to defend Decaro, every time you speak from the mayor’s office the mayor is heard swearing” – and here the band tries their hand at an imitation of the Apulian dialect.
In the episode we discuss the criticisms directed at the orchestra director Beatrice Venezi: “They criticized Venezi, the orchestra director, because they say she is right-wing. You can’t be right-wing! Why are you right-wing? We’re obviously joking, everyone is free to be what they want… They criticized Venezi, the hair product company. When they see her conducting they say ‘Look who’s here, the one with the hair!’” – jokes Fiorello regarding the photo which portrays her in a pose similar to the hair shampoo advertisements – “In Palermo two orchestra professors were suspended. Oh no, she is free to be right-wing, but they have the right to criticize, in a polite way. The two were not members of the Democratic Party, it’s called the Democratic Spartito”.
We also talk about the recent news that came from the USA and how it could soon be copied in our country: “Change your name to ‘Anyone Else’ and run for election in the United States. Calenda saw this stuff and here he is, he’s thinking of the same ploy and will change his name to “Always better for Renzi”. Go and see the ballot paper!”.
