I Got Drunk at a Rakija Factory with My Cousin Vlad

I got drunk in a rakija factory with My Cousin Vlad… and somehow it turned into the most Balkan episode of #NEMSWORLDUNCUT so far. With that... what is a "wog"? #WogHumour #MyCousinVlad #balkancomedy In this episode, I sit down with one of Australia's fastest growing comedians My Cousin Vlad inside a working Balkan rakija distillery for a full-blown comedy podcast chaos session about Balkan culture, Australian wog humour, immigrant families, rakija, burek, trauma, stereotypes, and why ethnic comedy hits so hard when it comes from real life. We shot this episode in a Western Sydney rakija factory with a rakija sponsor DNA Distillery, burek catering from Burek on Wheels, Baba's Chocolate Milk, a Balkan trivia segment, ridiculous skits, and a fake Balkan rakija safety video that probably made our ancestors both proud and deeply concerned. My Cousin Vlad is a Macedonian Australian comedian who's built a massive audience by saying the quiet part out loud about growing up Balkan in Australia the parents, the food, the guilt, the drinking, the yelling, the nationalism, the love, the chaos, and the specific kind of humour immigrant kids use to survive and make sense of it all. We also get into the cultural landscape of Australia, what "wog" actually means, what wog humour really is, how immigrant communities took a word that was once used against them and turned it into comedy, identity, pride and connection, and why Balkan Australian comedy is having such a big moment right now. This Balkan Australian podcast episode is a love letter to wog culture, the Balkan diaspora, and the immigrants who actually built modern Australia. --- 🎬 What you'll see in this episode: 🥃 An absurd Balkan rakija safety video cold open 🇦🇺 What "wog" actually means in Australia — the racial slur Anglo-Australians threw at every Italian, Greek, Balkan and Lebanese immigrant who got off the boat after WW2, and how their kids flipped it into the funniest comedy scene in the country 🎭 My Cousin Vlad's full story: Macedonian Australian real estate agent turned Australia's fastest growing Balkan comedian 🥟 Burek On Wheels feature: the legendary Sydney Balkan food truck and an interview with the owner 🍫 Baba's Chocolate Milk: Australia's Balkan childhood in a bottle 🇲🇰 Macedonian Australian identity: growing up between two worlds, immigrant parents, and wog culture 🏠 A surprise realtor skit from Vlad in full character 🇷🇸🇭🇷🇧🇦🇲🇰 Balkan trivia segment: Balkan red flags, the diaspora dictionary, and ranking Balkan trauma 1 through 10 🚬 Wog culture vs Anglo Australia: the cultural landscape Anglo-Australians don't talk about and Balkans live every day 🇾🇺 The whole post-Yugoslav menu: trauma, food, alcohol, identity, and jokes that are probably too accurate --- This Balkan comedy podcast episode was shot in Western Sydney in a real working Australian rakija distillery, in the heart of wog Australia.
