Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi March 18, 2025 Duration: 46:12

This week, we sit down with Mark, aka Pistachio Papi, the man who’s turned pistachio into Australia’s most viral obsession. From launching in 2023 to collaborating with brands like Yochi, Krispy Kreme, and Muscle Nation, we break down his wild rise, the challenges along the way, and what’s next for the Pistachio Papi empire. Plus, we get into family, food, and fan questions—including the ultimate debate: Who’s the real Papi?


This is PART 1 of 2.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when people who are genuinely obsessed with food get together, and that's exactly what you'll find on The Food Guys Podcast. Hosts Dub and Nectorious Papi don't just review meals; they dive headfirst into the entire universe of what we eat. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a lively table where the topics range from breaking down the latest fast-food menu item to heated debates about beloved or despised ingredients. The discussion is always grounded in a real passion-they love to talk about food just as much as they love to eat it. You'll hear more than just their opinions, though. They regularly bring other voices into the mix, from well-known names in the food industry to local business owners and fellow food lovers. These conversations are packed with the hosts' natural chemistry, which means plenty of laughter, friendly banter, and the occasional good-natured argument. Tuning into this podcast is like getting an insider's look at food culture, served with a side of humor and genuine curiosity. It’s a show for anyone who thinks about their next meal while they’re still eating the current one.
