Andrew’s Good Friday Guilt

Buona Pasqua! We celebrate Easter and quickly realise we might need to go back to church since we don’t know much about the religious event and its traditions — other than our favourite Easter eggs. We also watch Andrew squirm in his Catholic guilt as we debate what actually constitutes a sin (listen to be saved). Plus, we want to know: do you prefer the traditional hot cross bun or the chocolate hot cross bun? Vote now @sooshimangopodcast See us live on our 'Home Made Encore Tour'!

What’s Nonna’s Most Iconic Picture?

We debate the old school pictures that you are most likely to find hanging in an ethnic household, the vintage style stuff —in other words, Nonna-esque type pictures. What would be Nonna's most iconic picture? Is it the painting of The Last Supper? The picture of fruit and vegetables? Or would it be the naked lady or the crying boy?

Joe and Andrew are devastated that Allen's have discontinued their teeth lollies. Carlo disagrees and lists the many lollies he believes are more worthy of saving.

If you’re a fan of quirky laughs, you need to hear Peter Kypri laugh—he has us in stitches every time! Peter talks about life in Cyprus, Cypriot culture, and the language. Carlo confronts him about his dig at Italian food, which leads us to question whether we have Greek ancestry (because of the length of our toes?).

Kids These Days

Are kids these days still making paper airplanes? We compare what it was like being a kid back in our day to a new generation of youngsters. We can’t believe some of the stuff available to kids these days! We also remember the good ol’ days of clubbing, and wonder why most of the young people we know can’t dance. Plus, Andrew's cucumber dilemma!

And the Woggiest Fruit is... ?

We want to know what you think the woggiest fruit is - vote now @sooshimangopodcast to let us know! On the topic of food, we found out that pizza for breakfast is healthier than most breakfast foods and cereals, so we gave our pizza expert (and business partner) Johnny Di Francesco a call for a pizza calorie count. This led us to explore the breakfasts from around the world, and to reminisce about our all-time favourite cereals!
