Back To The Ridgeley | Nationwide RickRoll | '80s Mall Gangs | Who's The Mermaid?

--:--

The first episode of 2024 - which is certainly NOT 24 years away from the '80s.

We recap Wham!'s rise to Number 1, wonder if Andrew Ridgeley is a time traveller, and rue not being RickRolled by Rick himself.

Paulo and Dori watched so many '80s things over the holidays - one of which reminded Paulo of the 'gang' that terrorised his local mall.

Finally some factoids we've been accumulating since our last show, including an innocuous reason to talk about Alyssa Milano.

Now that's what I don't call music | A mouse walks into a bar. Everyone knows his name.

Paulo and Dori will not let a lack of musical ability stop them from rising up the 80s charts as AI and Dolph Lundgren's nipples, come to the rescue. We'd only buy a Thundercats Lego playset if they fully leaned into 'Thundercats Leg-ho', and Mickey Mouse shows up in the…
