Ever stopped to think about those days when you were still able to go out at night, hit the pubs, bars and nightclubs and still be able to function the next day? Well, no need to because in this episode Dave and Wee recount the victories of their nightlives and the 'glory' within! Thanks for listening... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
In this episode the boys go off topic when they receive a listener email. This invites a stream of random memories and stories which leads to other memories and so on. Listen if you dare... Thanks for listening oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
It is that time of year in Australia where the school kids head back to the classroom for another year of fun and learning.

Happy New Year! We hope that all is going well so far in 2024. In this episode, Dave and Wee discuss how much fun NYE is for the youth, but has faded a little over the past few years. Thanks for listening... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
With another Christmas here, Dave and Wee take a look at the festive season from the viewpoint of middle aged men with adult children. The rose coloured glasses have come off and Dave, in his typical grinchy way, looks at what he doesn't care for about Christmas while a bewildered Wee tries to keep up with the tirade. Thanks to you all who have listened throughout the years. We wouldn't have done it without you. Happy Christmas! oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
With society being so risk averse these days, the boys have decided to take a look at what safety meant back when they were kiddies. Is it safer now, or just less fun? You decide... Thanks for listening. oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
Sigh... This episode had so much potential but quickly derailed in spectacular fashion. Not worthy of an intro. Was it Wee? Was he drunk? Was his poor heart playing up again? One thing for certain is that it was not Dave's fault. Perhaps the boys should have gotten Stacey or Christal in for a better opinion... Feel free to skip this one... We won't be offended... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
The humble tradesman. In celebration of Wee's son going to work in a foreign and exotic land, the boys discuss tradies with the limited knowledge and understand you've come to expect from this podcast. Thanks for listening oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
This is the dreaded Episode 36. It is truly dreadful and we don't recommend anyone listen to it. Listen at your own peril.... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com

What about the music playing on an old record player or cassette? That music you seem to always know, but don't know why?

Thanks for listening... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
While we do not often research, this episode we go even lazier and look at the top 80s TV show as determined by a particular website. Wee pretends he knows about the majority, but is really reading from a screen. What are your thoughts on 80s TV? Is the list even close? Thanks for listening... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
One of many childhood faves which have now transitioned into an an adult past time. Lego is everywhere it seems. from specialty stores to movies and television. What do you remember about Lego? Thanks for listening... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
Do you still dream as an adult? Do you still have dreams and aspirations about where you want your life to go? Deep thoughts for a couple of shallow guys... Never fear! This episode is not really that deep nor insightful as what you might think. Dave and Wee discuss how their dreams have changed through their lives and how they are very different to when they were kids. All we can say is don't get your hopes up. Thanks for listening. oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
Back in the 1980s the Satanic Panic was in full swing and the main corrupter of young people was the music of the devil. All too often it was thought that the musicians with their immorality was going to bring about the damnation of a nation.

Hopefully an episode which every listener can enjoy. Thanks for listening... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
This is an episode recorded a while ago and we forgot what it was about. All I can say is that the audio is a bit sketchy and Wee sounds like he is calling in from a train tunnel. We could have listened while editing but, to be honest, nobody wants to listen to these too often. As such, we are offering this episode at a 50% discount to sweeten the deal! Extra rubbish at half the price! Listen at your own risk... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com

Just a few tales of the strange and bizarre happenings the boys have collected over their many years as nurses and shift workers. Some are a bit unusual, and they might be a little off-putting, especially for youngsters. We just want to give you a little warning before you listen. Hospitals are creepy places after dark when all is quiet. Can you relate? Do you have any stories you would like to share? Let us know at oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com Thanks for listening...
Another old one which appears to have dropped off the list of available episodes. Hope you enjoy it.
For anyone who has ever seen Dave and Wee on camera (check out the YouTube page) you will know they are not big fans of exercise. This episode looks, albeit very loosely, at the exercise phenomena back when they were cool. Things tend to get a little off track, but did you expect any different? Thanks for listening... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
An old episode. Not sure whether this one actually got published before. oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
In this episode, Dave gives Wee the choice of what topic to choose, and the result is surprising. Wee manages to address a few concerns much to Dave's amusement. No spoilers here. You will have to listen to see what it is all about. Thanks for listening... oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com

We were told we missed a whole lot of guaranteed power ballads in the first episode, so we decided we would try again.

Does everyone still fear black cats and the number 13? What about 13 black cats underneath a ladder with an open umbrella inside? What other superstitions are there? Join the boys on his episode to hear their thoughts and ruminations as well as the usual rubbish on this episode. Thanks for listening. oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
Getting outdated quickly is something Dave and Wee can understand. This episode has a look at what we remember computers were when we were growing up and how they have changed over time. oncewascoolpodcast@gmail.com
Hi everybody! Here is a short message from Dave about what has been going on in the year and a half since we have been away. There have been a few changes, and we just want to let you know what is coming up. Thanks so much for your support and patience. It means a lot to us.
