The town came after me! 😅 After getting flooded with corrections (and a few messages that were a little too passionate), I visited Jill and Kathy of Ralph's Italian Ice in Farmingdale to apologize in person and meet the people behind one of Long Island's favorite institutions. Along the way we discuss: The Great Farmingdale Ralph's Controversy Why Long Islanders take frozen desserts VERY seriously A wild attempted robbery story involving a ransom note and a punch across the counter Training teenagers to count change in 2026 The devastating fire affecting Ralph's Franklin Square location Why Long Islanders from Brooklyn are a special breed Special thanks to Jill, Kathy, and the entire Ralph's team for being good sports and setting the record straight. 🍧 Support Ralph's Italian Ice / ralphs_farmingdale 📍 Farmingdale, Long Island 🎙️ Subscribe for more Long Island stories, local legends, comedians, business owners, and everyday characters. #LongIsland #Farmingdale #RalphsItalianIce #TomKellyShow #LongIslandLife #Podcast #Comedy #newyorkcomedy Suggested Thumbnail Text I WAS WRONG THEY…
