We're looking back at the glorious days of OG Reality TV in the early 2000s. This episode we cover some of the shows that stuck with us but are calling out to our audience to send over the craziest reality shows they can remember for us to do a deep dive into! Nostalgia News also makes a comeback - with a new official jingle, a villain from the Remember That universe officially turns into a hero and In The Weeds returns where Maddie shares the strangest item she's found in her plants to date.

We're back for another crash hot episode and this one is uncomfortable and painful. With special guests Phoebe and Nick (Maddie's sister and sisters partner), we go back in time to our very first Facebook posts. It's cringey, regretful and oh so painful. We revisit Danny's French phase, Maddie's "Feeling it" phase and Nicks genuine love of Oporto that's stayed with him till this day. Strap yourselves in and get ready to cringe as we dive back into our OG social media posts. 

This week we re-visit one of Danny's traumatic memories that was the very disturbing VHS tape called - Psalty and the church mouse choir. We also cover a bunch of other super scat Christian kids TV shows from that era, talk about Will Smiths latest song "Pretty Girls" and discuss a chirpy chat Maddie had with a stranger in another edition of In The Weeds. 

This week we re-visit some of the biggest scams of the 90s and 00s era. Nigerian prince email scams, chain letters and the secret of that adorable green bird, "Peedy" that sat on your desktop. Also, Danny shares his own ongoing relationship with a scammer, recounts the days of when he was a charity worker and Maddie returns with more plant related gripes on In The Weeds! Please rate us 5 stars!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

"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!
