It’s time to get nostalgic for grazed knees, broken bed slats, and the sound of a cassette rewinding inside your Speak & Spell 🎮
This week on Old Mates New Laughs, Brendan, Andy, and Mike dive into the magical world of 1980s toys—the ones we begged for, battled over, and still remember like old friends.
Expect chat about:
🦸 Action figures that ruled our bedrooms
🧱 Classic toys like LEGO, Spirograph & Etch A Sketch
🛷 Playground fads and must-haves
🤖 Battery-powered chaos and toys that made actual sparks (cheers, Health & Safety!)
📺 The toy/TV cartoon synergy we didn’t realise was marketing genius
Whether you were Team Transformers, obsessed with Care Bears, or spent hours reconfiguring your Rubik’s Cube (wrongly), this episode will take you back to simpler times—and probably make you want to check eBay for vintage goodies...
