Welcome to the Old Mates, New Laughs Podcast page – a place for those of us who grew up in the 80s, survived the 90s, and are now wondering how the hell we got to middle age so fast!
We’ve been mates for 40 years, which means we’ve seen it all – from dodgy 80s haircuts and 90s Britpop, to the joys (and struggles) of being responsible adults (sort of). Our podcast is all about looking back, laughing at ourselves, and figuring out how we got here. Expect nostalgia, bad jokes, and a healthy dose of sarcasm!
We know that our podcast is nothing without it's listeners, and this is where you come in:
Reminisce – Share your favourite memories from growing up in the best decades. What were your favourite kids TV shows? What toys did you play with?
Debate – Whether Blur or Oasis was better (or if you were too cool for both)
Laugh – At the stuff we all thought was normal back then
Relate – To the joys and disasters of hitting middle age
So, if you remember life before the internet, still miss Woolworths, and wonder how we’re now old enough for back pain… you’re in the right place!

Remember when TV ads were mini-movies, jingles got stuck in your head for weeks, and you actually looked forward to the breaks? This week, the Old Mates rewind to the 90s to relive the commercials that defined a generation — from the emotional to the utterly bizarre.
Brendan can’t believe how many involved alcohol, Andy insists the AOL lady was definitely flirting, and Mike bursts into song talking aboot sweets!
There’s trivia, laughs, and memories you didn’t know you still had — all wrapped up with Andy’s latest One Star Film Review.
So grab a cuppa, hum a jingle, and join us as we ask: why don’t they make ads like that anymore?
