[@kathyl67]

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Can relate to so much of it growing up in Melbourne :)

[@robpapp2145]

I’ll never forget growing up in Dandenong (early 60s) Lyndale shopping centre ,My father owned the fruit shop and we where always abused and threatened (we where made to feel ashamed ) my father from Sicily and mother from Lypria ..your act which really was like my real life around my family ..bring back so many memories lol ..my father met Sir Robert Menzies and he asked my father what should he call the new shopping centre and Mario said” call it Menzies Ave,,’..true story

[@drissaudia1323]

43:06 I’m Asian and I resonate with their comedy. It’s true, we are all cut from the same cloth! Asian’s are strict too, we over feed people when they come to our homes etc. are some of the similarities we ALL are.

[@MarkGaffey]

My Mum is blind and most of her friends were too .. a few of tham did a thing called tape go round in the late 70's and early 80's that was posted from person to person around the world and they went on from there to do a radio program called Outlook that was broadcast across several community radio stations around Australia too .. They were doing "podcasts" before there were podcasts .. We're from Earlwood originally..

[@MarkGaffey]

By the way, we grew up in the melting pot too .. We're ALL Australians mate 👍

[@drissaudia1323]

He’s a very attractive man Mark B. for his age. 😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️

[@hernan5940]

Patrice O'Neal said comedy was about making like half the people and horrify the other half.

[@exvictorian3605]

I truly love your work but this woe is me crap ease up

[@drissaudia1323]

I think they are great and funny, especially Joe as I follow him on Instagram. But, I think these days podcasts are over rated and over done! You have to talk about interesting things and topics that people like. I’m not really keen on their podcasts, maybe stick to your comedy as not everyone should be doing podcasts. Just saying.
