The group has accumulated almost 800,000 TikTok followers, and have seen more than 600 million online views, including sell-out live performances. Most recently the trio has celebrated the runaway success of their first music track, and what’s more, they are launching a new restaurant in Australia’s Italian restaurant capital, Lygon Street, Carlton.
Sooshi Mango Saucy Meatballs Podcast, is all VEGAN with not a meatball in sight, and features a mixture of special guests, comedy segments, prank calls and the trio’s take on current issues and modern life.

The brand-new second season is now available on LiSTNR. In the first episode, the boys make an attempt to get their new song Tarantella added to the Hit Network’s playlist by contacting the network’s music director; they reflect on their first ever show in Dubai, and discuss their struggles with ‘Gen Z phrases’ including how to correctly use the term ‘bussin’.
Sam Cavanagh, Head of Entertainment and Culture for LiSTNR Original Podcasts says the series a comedy smash hit: “We’re excited to welcome them to LiSTNR’s extensive roll call of Australian comedy podcasts [as] fans of their work…[we are] impressed by their huge fan base, who we know will love hearing the boys on LiSTNR and beyond.”
