40 - Remember That Episode XL: A New Format (ft Johnson and Friends documentary updates!)

In our 40th episode, we’re mixing things up with a new format!

We give an update on where Danny's, Johnson & Friends documentary is at, A brand new segment called Nostalgia News where we chat about:

• Usher cancelling his Aussie tour

• The 90s/00s acts we’d drop everything to see

• And the return of the iconic Tropfest short film festival 🎥

If you're into 90s and 2000s Australian nostalgia, this is a great one to jump in on. And if you like the pod, please rate us 5 stars — it seriously helps more people find it!

39 - Danny's Music Journey

This week, we dig into the questionable origins of Danny's music taste. From wild Christian music festivals as a teenager to his mum refusing to buy him the Blink 182 album (thanks to that infamous sexy nurse cover), it’s a journey. He shares his deep love for The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy, the terror of his brothers blasting Nine Inch Nails through the house (even though he secretly loves them now), and The Offspring soundtracking every road trip.

But it gets worse… Danny confesses to Maddie that, yes, he was that guy — hooning around the suburbs, windows down, blasting Nick Skitz Megamixes from his upgraded car sound system. Is it a dealbreaker? Maddie’s not sure.

Plus, how his love of A Tribe Called Quest absolutely killed the vibe at a party.

38 - Maddie's Music Journey

She’s not a music nerd… but somehow music’s been lurking in the background of Maddie’s life the whole time. From dance class anthems to her dad's unexpected obsession with Mongolian throat singing, we take a winding trip through the soundtrack of her upbringing. Spice Girls, N*Sync, Lorena McKennitt, Don Spencer, Cat Stevens, S Club 7, Jerry Lee Lewis — it’s all in there (with no logical order whatsoever).

A funny, nostalgic, slightly chaotic stroll through Maddie's accidental musical history.

We also drop a brand new segment and another fantastic edition of In The Weeds with Maddie.

37 - The Emo Kid with Andrew Hastings

This week we have Sydney comedian and old friend, Andrew Hastings! Andrew educates us on the Emo movement of the early 2000s and it's tie in to some of his favourite bands, as well as his blended family tales. He also shares his heartbreaking first crush and his triumphant first kiss which he ended up getting tattooed on him (well not really, but you'll see)! Rate us 5 stars and thanks for listening!

36 - Matt Giles

This week on the pod we're joined by very special guest, Danny's older brother - Matt Giles! Danny asks his brother things about his experiences in childhood that he wasn't there for. We're talking first crushes, friends, neglectful teachers, living in the USA and much more! We also check in again with Maddie's work with everyone's favourite segment - In The Weeds!

35 - Prank Calls

"Is your fridge running? Then you better go catch it!". This week we're revisiting the lost art form of the prank call, and to get us into the spirit, we make an actual prank call! And we mean a real one, we call a company, not some person we know, it was a lot of laughs! We also then call back after and apologise. We also have the return of fan favourite "In The Weeds with Maddie", plus we read out some of your contributions on the show! Rate us 5 stars if you enjoy us, apparently it helps!

34 - The Home Phone

Before DMs and disappearing voice notes, there was the home phone — a portal to awkward crushes, stammering introductions, and having to ask someone’s mum if your Year 6 boyfriend was home.

This week, we’re dialing back to:

• The horror of calling your primary school sweetheart’s house and getting Dad instead,

• Maddie’s brief and legendary relationship with Nick — her mysterious Year 6 boyfriend we’re meeting for the first time,

• And Danny’s early misadventures on a dating phone line... involving a fake profile, his sister, and a very kinky adult caller he still hasn’t forgotten.

It’s all here: cringe, chaos, and a heavy dose of 2000s landline-era romance.

33 - First day of school

It's one of the biggest moments of your childhood, saying goodbye to your parents at the gate and stepping into the unknown. Danny confirms that he was definitely one of the kids who cried on the first day, plus a bunch of core memories locked in from kindergarten. We also dive into the first day of high school! Maddie shares her memories of being part of the Steiner school camp and her favourite moments. We also try out a new segment - Facebook Marketplace Stories!
