Episode 2: Back in the Day

In Episode 2 of Friends in Low Places, the lads take a drive down memory lane, revisiting friendships, nights out, old-school technology, and growing up in Ireland in the 80s and 90s.

From childhood friendships and teenage nights out to life before smartphones and streaming, this episode explores what made the “good old days” feel simpler — and whether they actually were.

We talk about:

  • Friendship in your teens vs friendship in midlife

  • Going out in Ireland in the 90s

  • Old-school technology before social media

  • Growing up without mobile phones

  • And yes… the surprisingly serious business of getting proper suction from your vacuum cleaner

It’s an honest, funny and slightly cynical look at nostalgia, modern life, and what changes (and what doesn’t) after 40.

If you enjoy Irish podcasts about midlife, 80s and 90s nostalgia, friendship, and modern Irish life, this one’s for you.

Subscribe for more real conversations about work, parenting, ageing, money, relationships and life after 40.
