Al and John grew up together in the 1990s but now live on opposite sides of the world. Each week, they get together through the magic of the Internet to catch up, make each other laugh and try to make sense of it all.
The result is a funny, surreal and thought-provoking excursion through the arcane recesses of pop culture and technology, and the mysteries of everyday life. What’s it like to have a virtual companion? Did Hilaria Baldwin really pretend to be Spanish? Why did movies used to have a rap in the credits to explain their own plot?

Customer Reviews
Love it
If you’re a fan of wrap-up raps, chatbot relationships, Hilaria Baldwin and on-demand vomiting, you’ll love John and Al’s podcast.
The best kind of giggle
Gotta love two old mates sharing the silliness of today’s world mixed with a solid dose of 90s suburban Adelaide randomness that we can all relate to.
