In Episode 7 of Was Your Ma on Telly, the ladies take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to revisit their youthful nights out at local discos, sparked by their recent experience at The Biggest Disco in Dublin's 3Arena. They reflect on the unforgettable socializing, the mischief, and the freedom of their teenage years when dancing, flirting, and first encounters with the opposite sex took place after hours. From the wild energy of dance floors filled with classics like Scooter and Mark McCabe's Maniac 2000, to the antics in the shadowy corners (booby-squeezing, anyone?), they explore the fun—and the scandal—of those long-lost nights.

The conversation dives deep into how local discos were the birthplace of many cultural touchstones, from the Y2K fever and the rise of GHD straighteners to fashion trends we wish we could forget. The ladies also touch on the chaotic blend of underage drinking, smoking (before the ban), and the many lessons learned in the process.

Get ready for a fun, mischievous trip down memory lane as the hosts reflect on the lessons their disco days taught them, and how those experiences have shaped the way they approach raising kids today.

What happens if those community hall nights no longer exist? How will our kids get those same “real-world” experiences—the awkwardness, the mistakes, and the priceless lessons that only come from being part of something raw and unfiltered? Tune in for a lively discussion on the dying art of the local disco, the importance of face-to-face social interactions, and how we’ll make sure our kids have their own wild, unforgettable experiences (even if it’s not on a smoke-filled dance floor).

Tune in for laughs, cringe moments, and chance to remember your own experience at the local disco !
