Why ethnics are too competitive with their food

Sun, 26 May 2024 19:00:00 -0000

Whether it's the ethnic mums and their cooking, or the ethnic dads with their home made wine, it's safe to say things get pretty competitive amongst the w0gs. So much so that it caused a 3 year long family feud in Joe & Carlo's family.

We also hear some international phrases that translate terribly into English, eg "I want to die on your body", and speak to another 'Fully Sickest Of Them All' nominee who might just be our strongest contender yet!

If you grew up with w0g parents, it's likely they were way more embarrassing than anyone else's parents.

Tennis champion Mark Philippoussis

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 18:00:00 -0000

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)!

The ethnic dads take over the podcast

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 18:00:00 -0000

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!

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 18:00:00 -0000

We know a proper Italian pizza trumps all, but after a recent trip to New York, we had to have the debate of whether a New York slice beats an Aussie capricciosa.

Christmas lunch is such a process!

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 18:00:00 -0000

Hope you're feeling festive! There's nothing quite like a w0g Christmas - it's mainly centred around food but if you're from an ethnic family, you'll know there's so much more to it than that. The whole day is a process, and in today's episode we discuss all the parts of that process from waking up, to the Xmas spread, to the fights our uncles have over card games, to going to bed as full as a stuffed calamari!
