The Ethnic Dads Take Over The Podcast (ENCORE)

We’re revisiting an episode where our ethnic dads Johnny, Vince, and Sam take over the podcast, and as always, 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’re doing. Join us next Monday for a brand-new season!

Carlo’s Stealing & Smelling Obsession (ENCORE)

While we're on summer break, we're revisiting our favorite episodes. In this encore episode, Carlo admits he’s addicted to stealing a certain item from hotel rooms—but it’s not the usual shampoo and soap. So, is this normal, or is he a full-blown thief? The conversation then unravels his obsession with smelling something as well, and the boys absolutely roast him for it. Also, Andrew reveals his disgusting phobia, and we introduce our new producer, who’s a fellow w0g! Thank you for supporting our podcast in 2024! We look forward to bringing you fresh new episodes in the new year. Happy New Year!

Christmas Lunch Is Such A Process! (ENCORE)

Hope you're feeling festive! We’re revisiting last year's Christmas episode, and there’s nothing quite like a w0g Christmas – it’s mostly about the food, but if you're from an ethnic family, you know there’s so much more to it than that. The whole day is a process, and in today’s encore episode, we discuss all the parts of that process – from waking up to the Christmas spread, to the fights our uncles have over card games, and finally, going to bed as full as a stuffed calamari! Thank you for supporting our podcast this year! We look forward to bringing you fresh new episodes in 2025. Have a safe and Merry Christmas!
