Listen "Spitting Footballers, Plasticine Psychos & the Wimpy"
Episode Synopsis
Tommy, Duncan, and Hayley are back for another nostalgic ramble, this time tackling the big topics: childhood toys, 80s fast food, and bedroom walls plastered with boybands and glow-in-the-dark stars. Duncan kicks things off with his first-ever McDonald’s (Western Road, Brighton – Big Mac, no cheese), before the gang reminisce about the golden era of Wimpy, the mystery of Casey Jones, and the dream of hosting a birthday party in a red plastic booth. From there, it’s a headlong dive into retro board games and toys. Snakes & Ladders philosophy, Guess Who? aggression, the Operation buzzer, Action Men with missing limbs, and the slightly disturbing things Tommy used to do with Plasticine. There’s also some strong debate over Barbie vs. Cindy, a surprise train ride with Bananarama, and the slightly depressing truth about magnetic beard kits. Also covered: disco balls, yo-yos, revising next to a cactus, and the art of spitting like a footballer (badly). Get in touch with us! WhatsApp: 07405 341500 - leave us a voice note!
