Sooshi Mango Podcast

Today we speak to the most endearing nonno who is so obsessed with his garden and cooking that he's made a successful YouTube channel out of it, and has nearly 150k followers on his Instagram page! His name is Nick The Happy Harvester and we ask him whether it's a myth that you need to pee on your lemon tree to help it grow. We also hear some ethnics have a crack at some hilarious tongue twisters, and speak to probably our strongest contender yet for the 'Fully Sickest Of Them All' competition. If you know someone more fully sick than this, nominate them by DMing our @sooshimangopodcast Instagram page, and you could win tickets to our comedy show 'Home Made' plus backstage passes to hang out with us.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangopodcast and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Neema Naz is a comedian known for his amazing accents and impersonations of everyone from a Persian dad, to a basic girl, to celebrities like Gordon Ramsey and Joe Rogan. We get him to play a game of 'Accent Roulette' where he has to pick an accent out of a bowl, then pick a scenario out of another, and act out the scenario in the chosen accent - which had us in stitches! We also talk about the strange phrases in foreign languages that don't translate well in English.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcast  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ethnic parents are way too obsessed with their veggie gardens. Speaking of, you'll nearly have a hear attack when you hear how big the world's biggest vegetables are. Plus, we speak to another contender who might just be the 'Fully Sickest Of Them All'. If you want to nominate someone, slide into our DMs @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod on Insta.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, we discuss some of the savage one liners our parents have come out with because they've got no filter, and we also try to figure out why the ethnic oldies love hoarding land that they've purchased over the years. Plus, following on from Joe's rant about Coles making every news site in Australia, we explain why we hate self-serve check outs.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know how we dress up as ethnic dads? Well you'll be able to see where we got our inspo from after you hear Andrew's dad on the phone. We prank called him and it was extremely difficult to keep it together, that's all we'll say! We also talk about the worst thing on social media, and have our first Muzza nominee.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of our mates and fellow comedian My Cousin Vlad is back on the podcast today, where he tells us what on earth he could have possibly written 1000 songs about, we try to work out what type of w0g he is (since he surfs....what???), and we all relive a bit of trauma about the comments people have made about our appearance.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you grew up with w0g parents, it's likely they were way more embarrassing than anyone else's parents. Maybe they gave you a stinky oily meal in your lunchbox that evacuated the whole class like what happened to Joe, or maybe they stalked you like a PI agent when you met up with a girl like Andrew's mum.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've loved so many of the guests we've had on this podcast, and for this week we are reliving our favourite part of our chats with Mr Gangsta's Paradise himself Coolio, Youtube/Tiktok star Joe Santagato, and singer-songwriter and all round legend Anthony Callea.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's no doubt Entourage was of the best TV series from the early 2000s, and we know we're not the only ones who think the outspoken hilarious agent Ari Gold was the character that made that series! The actor who plays Ari is Jeremy Piven, and he's now doing stand-up comedy shows in Australia. This has got to be one of our favourite episodes to date - get ready to be in tears of laughter.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you a 'muzza'? Aka a guido, Gino, Mario, someone from 'the area', or whatever a fully sick hectic w0g is called where you're from. We really thought we weren't classified as muzzas... until what happened in today's episode! We also chat about living at home til you're over 40, and why the cops are coming for you if you cover your fruit trees with nets!   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the 2nd time on the podcast for Teddy (@tedsthetics) and 3rd time for Ibby Akbar (@ibby_a), and there's a reason we keep getting them in - they're our good mates and bloody hilarious! Both fresh off their tours, we chat about which parts of Australia they like the most (of course a Sydney vs Melbourne debate arises), compare cuisines and even get them to perform their online personas live in the studio.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remember dinner dances? Remember going to Sunday visits at an extended relative's house where you weren't allowed to touch the biscuits on the table? Remember getting smacked by your ethnic parents for things that weren't even your fault? We do.   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our mates from Gogglebox, Jad & Matty, join us to teach us the Lebanese clap! We talk all things Lebo vs Italian, Sydney vs Melbourne and which nationality have the most fun at weddings!   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the greats and fellow ethnic Mark Philippoussis joins us to chat all things tennis - from what it was like back in the day compared to now, to why AO winner Jannik Sinner has a champion's mentality. We also throw back to the time Mark was the bachelor on a show called Age of Love, and we find out that's he's actually half Greek and half Italian (and when you hear the reason why his mum learnt Greek it's sure to make you laugh)!   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our ethnic dads Johnny, Vince and Sam have taken over some of our podcast today, and every time they come in they cause an absolute ruckus! Not only do they react in shock to our Australian colleagues mispronouncing some Italian and Greek words, but they also make one of the most suspicious phone calls we've ever witnessed! The worst part? We think we're actually turning into our dads with some of the things we are doing. Also in today's ep, we reveal our new podcast tagline!   CREDITS  Hosts: Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, Andrew ManfreProducer: Mandy CatalanoAudio Imager: Nat Marshall Follow the Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast page on Instagram @sooshimangosaucymeatballspod and on Tiktok @saucymeatballspodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
