Sooshi Mango Podcast

Our parents embarrassed the sh*t out of us!!

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.

Coolio, Joe Santagato & Anthony Callea - our favourite chats

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.

Jeremy Piven aka Ari Gold!

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.

Who’s the w0ggiest of them all?

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.

Regulars Ibby Akbar & Teddy are ready to take over the podcast!

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.

Reminiscing on the good ol’ days

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.

The Lebanese clap - with Jad & Matty from Gogglebox

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.

Tennis champion Mark Philippoussis

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.

The ethnic dads take over the podcast

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.

Growing Up Italian, with Rocco & Sabino

If you're not familiar with the 'Growing Up Italian' podcast, we're sure you can work out what it's all about from the title! On our recent trip to New York, we sat down with 2 of the hosts Rocco & Sabino to talk about what it's like growing up Italian in America, what they think Italian Australians are like, and of course made them do their best Aussie accent.   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.
