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. We also give it our best crack at doing the New York accent, and share some stories about the 893434995 places we ate at while we were there for 1 week.

If you've grown up with parents where English was their second language, it's likely they mispronounce plenty of words. We have a fair few examples and hear some hilarious ones from you guys too, plus we go through some of our parents' ridiculous encounters with technology and social media. Wait til you hear what Carlo & Joe's dad accidentally posted to 'da Face-abook'!

We hate to sound old but back in our day it was a simpler time! In today's episode we laugh about some of the games we used to play when we were kids, seeing as we didn't have iPads, and also the cheap things our parents used to buy us and try to convince us that they were just like the expensive brand. Also, Andrew's wallet is the size of Mt Everest so it's time we get rid of some of the junk inside,

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!

Real estate legend and founder of Wizard Home Loans Mark Bouris joins us in today's episode. As a Greek man who was raised being told to always buy and never sell, we want to know if he still thinks that's a good idea in today's climate. We also speak about how things were in the old days when his father grew up living in the same room as a goat!

Carlo admits he is addicted to stealing a certain thing from hotel rooms, but it's not the typical stuff like 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, to which the boys absolutely roast him for. Also, Andrew admits his disgusting phobia, and we have a brand new producer who is a fellow w0g!

Former crime boss Michael Franzese tells us how he became a mobster, what it was like being in a 6x8 solitary cell and whether he was able to smuggle in some home made pasta, the hilarious way some mobsters get their nicknames, and how accurate the characters you see in films like Goodfellas are.
