The Ned & Josh Podcast

A Friday episode arrives with Daniel Sloss, which means Ned and Josh immediately use the opportunity to discuss sharks, tuck shop snacks, mascot suits, and whether adults should be socially allowed to dress like superheroes. There’s Daffy Duck, Rumrun, Chuck E. Cheese, Mako shark passion and one very reluctant co worker dragged into aquatic small talk. Carrie diagnoses a bow tie injury before being asked, Ned learns Los Alamos is not the Alamo and a three metre phone charger becomes the most dangerous item in the bedroom.

Somewhere between a mum's friend giving a thirteen-year-old a deeply inappropriate shirt and the question of who really buys the oldest-sister merchandise, this episode goes places. Josh's golden retrievers are space-themed, Cosmo is jealous, and the groomer who lectures him every visit has been quietly posting dog content without a release form. The Last Dance made the Chicago Bulls compelling to people who had never watched basketball, and that's apparently the bar for a Jackass documentary. Jim Cummins also deserves yearly payments to keep his Lion King mouth shut. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Ned and Josh return from their new sofa based headquarters with questions about what really broke the world, whether soda fountains mattered more than history admits, and how badly a man can ruin his own hands. There’s Batman fashion theory, ACT bin conspiracies, animal kingdom nonsense, public toilet laws and a reminder that sports fans are basically cosplayers with better PR.

This week, we're talking about a chicken chippie creation that its inventor believes deserves a place on every fast food menu in the country, and the cold-and-sweaty weather phenomenon that apparently has no adequate name yet. A Ford Raptor parks in a small car spot, a passive-aggressive note gets written, and the whole plan backfires spectacularly. Meanwhile, AI is out here drinking all the planet's water, and apparently the best proof you wrote your own work email is a well-placed typo. We also workshopped a Hollywood movie about three friends, a bear costume, and the dumbest insurance fraud scheme ever attempted. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh  

Tupac's hologram was meant to be the future of live performance — so why did nothing come of it? The boys dig into that, and then move on to a man named Bill whose wife recreated him via AI for a post-death Q&A at his own wake. Kermit dating another pig straight after Miss Piggy is covered with the gravity it demands, Josh recounts getting called out by a teacher and responding by telling him he'd ruined the family's evening, and a Chinese patent for an in-car toilet raises questions no one asked for. The mystery of why the radio station sits on Television Avenue gets a full investigation, and the phrase "caught red-handed" turns out to have origins nobody is totally comfortable with.

What happens when a conductor gets a little too into it and knocks a priceless 18th-century violin straight out of a violinist's hands? That's the chaos we're unpacking this week, alongside the genuine moral question of whether it's acceptable to shame a stranger's misbehaving kid in the supermarket with nothing but a stern headshake. We also get into the Finnish Air Force's most entertaining flight exercise on record, the weird territorial drama unfolding at one very specific power box on a dog walk, and why AI recipe videos are genuinely broken as a concept when the cake goes into the oven without a tin. We touch on the sneakers-with-jeans fashion debate, the environmental cost of AI data centres, and a 91-year-old woman in Ohio who was absolutely not in danger — she just had a great kill streak going.

This episode lurches from parents enabling romantic weekends to people roaming public toilets barefoot, which is not the same vibe at all. Along the way there is Harambe fallout, a cheeseburger scandal involving missing pickles, a workplace reading conversation gone sideways, and a discussion about what sport we secretly think we could dominate with zero evidence. There is also candle reward conditioning, name ratings, Magic the Gathering field research, and a fiercely committed attempt to determine the correct bacon to egg ratio on a roll. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

A global comedy heavyweight drops by for a chat that somehow swings from parenting reality checks to late night legends and robot battles that sound borderline illegal. Daniel Sloss joins us ahead of his new show Bitter, sharing stories about touring life, Conan O'Brien, and why three days away from your kids feels like a holiday before it absolutely doesn’t. There’s also a very important Australian cultural detour and a surprisingly intense discussion about AI that may or may not come back to haunt him. If you like your comedy sharp, honest, and occasionally unhinged, this one delivers.

The boyfriend chair is an underrated institution and Josh is here to defend it — the quality of the chair, it turns out, varies enormously depending on which shop you walk into. Meanwhile, a man named Tony has spent a year trying to reclaim a 12-foot alligator named Albert from authorities who seem pretty determined to keep him, and the movie Coco apparently reduces two fully grown men to open, unashamed weeping even when they've only known each other a month. The headphone jack is technically still alive on your laptop and your TV, which makes the nostalgia grief feel a little premature, and there's a very specific kind of social humiliation discussed this episode — the handsome guy who calls you "champ" in a way that nobody else will ever believe is an insult. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Returning from orbit feeling gravity for the first time in two weeks is rough, but apparently not as rough as hearing your mum's India stories second-hand through your sisters while she ignores your calls. Kermit has been nude this entire time and no one brought it up until now, the fuel excise cut hasn't stopped petrol pricing from being completely irrational, and there's a growing urge to tap strangers on the shoulder at the servo and ask what exactly they're planning with those jerry cans. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The boys are back in the strange little crossover zone where radio and podcasting are colliding, and it sparks a chat about listener expectations, live broadcasting, swearing less, and whether some things should be saved just for the pod. There is also a surprisingly heated office food debate involving tuna, canned chicken, gym culture, and the kind of workplace smell that should probably qualify as an HR issue. Then it shifts into complete chaos with a dog walk disaster, the reality of rescue dog attitude, terrible Illawarra navigation, Google Maps sabotage, class action lawsuit texts, dodgy warranty subscriptions, and a father figure on the verge of reinventing himself as Poppy C.

Being spat on in Madrid as a nine-year-old, then returning home and being spat on again because you'd been to Madrid, is a travel experience that doesn't feature in many tourism campaigns. There's also a legitimate theory that energy drinks only feel unhealthy because of carbonation — La Croix gets away with the exact same thing — a bathroom altercation involving a man who had every stall available to him and still chose the one directly adjacent, and a small child who told a full doctor's waiting room her mother's specific underwear brand. The godfather renewal system is explained, CPR dogs are assessed for compression quality, and "well-loved" is formally retired as an acceptable way to sell anything. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Board games are a tough sell when the alternative is playing as the greatest NBA player who ever lived. The boys get into why rainy Easter Sundays inside with the family are harder to navigate than they sound, and what it takes to actually pull a kid out of a gaming session. That sits alongside an Easter egg delivery that Josh's mum clearly rehearsed, the Mildura juice product that's raising more questions than it answers, and the somewhat depressing thought that the shoe store is probably the only place your shoes will ever feel truly new. Ned's grandparents were meant to get a visit this weekend, but registration and petrol had other ideas. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

If you've ever watched Friends and thought the characters had an unusually relaxed relationship with their morning routines and the concept of having jobs, this episode validates that entirely. The hosts also revisit the Girl Dinner phenomenon, trace it back further than the internet did, and connect it to a wider theory about breakfast foods that look like pet food. On the other side of the episode, there's a very serious conversation about what a Prime Minister would have to do to genuinely distract an entire country, and one suggestion that would absolutely tank the economy while also being extremely fun. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Ned and Josh are, by their own admission, more similar to each other than Ned is to his own twin sisters, which makes the moments they genuinely diverge feel huge. One of those moments is Sean Astin: Ned loves him across Goonies, Lord of the Rings, Stranger Things, and more; Josh acknowledges he exists. The conversation drifts into whether Samwise Gamgee is actually the real protagonist of the whole saga, and then straight into the magic-as-transport debate — if Gandalf is available, the walk to Mordor is a choice, and it's a bad one. On a completely different note, Josh also nearly bought a shirt yesterday before reading the back of it and deciding society has failed men's fashion entirely. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The pod pals have been snippy, the boys are overworked, and yet here we are. This episode covers the bizarre social contract of lying to people in shops, whether that's a mattress showroom or a fancy shampoo boutique, the argument that 42 cents of compound interest could make your descendants millionaires by the year 3026, and a childhood memory unlocked entirely by the Sims newspaper delivery jingle. They also get into why Ned's mum remains the only person capable of answering medical questions on his behalf, how Meta's targeted advertising completely misread the room with a grandstand built for 200 people, and what it would actually feel like to spend your whole life laying cobblestone for a king with no performance reviews.

The Michael Jackson biopic is coming and the big news is that the soundtrack is full of, wait for it, Michael Jackson songs. Meanwhile, a voice-over artist has gone to the press claiming he faked radio phone calls for one of Australia's biggest breakfast shows, and Ned has thoughts on whether Strava is slowly becoming a threat to national security. The Tasmanian Devils have kicked a goal, the Innkeeper's Act of 1968 apparently still governs hotel theft law, and there's a passionate case made for just letting yourself go bald with dignity. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

A Toyota dealership left a voicemail on the wrong number, which has raised a completely serious legal question about whether finders keepers applies to cars. Meanwhile, the cost of renting in Australia is turning share houses into something that looks a lot like the Big Brother house, Michael B. Jordan's post-Oscars burger run has been clocked, and Josh wants to know if he should start watching One Piece. Nobody asked how Leonardo DiCaprio feels about any of this. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Jacob Elordi flying business class on a commercial flight has apparently become a news story, and there's a reasonable argument that it probably shouldn't be one.The Ace Ventura rhino prop — the full mechanical one Jim Carrey gets born out of in When Nature Calls — is up for auction, and the estimated price is embarrassingly low for what millennial nostalgia is capable of doing. Elsewhere, the conversation turns to whether we've crossed a point of inventing things purely for the sake of it, with the PlayStation controller's potential move to a full touchpad coming up as exhibit A. Josh is also floating the idea of getting Birkenstocks, which Ned has feelings about — especially given the ongoing overalls situation. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

It turns out taking over a drive show in a new city requires actual research, and the guys are committing to the bit. Australia's attempt to keep certain websites responsible for underage access has produced an age verification system so invasive it's made adults nostalgic. A shopping centre rubberneck incident is recounted in full, including the regret that followed looking through a gap in a privacy screen. Woody and Jessie being confirmed siblings has rocked a portion of the Toy Story fanbase who apparently skipped the films, and Josh admits that as a kid he constructed a whole unrequited love storyline entirely in his head. Godfather duties turn out to be surprisingly light-on, legally speaking. Whether markets are actually about the baby or about the croissant photo gets properly debated, and the generational divide in one-word expressions of disdain gets a thorough examination. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

A man was spotted today wearing the entire state of Tasmania on the back of his leg, and it has opened up a broader question about who is actually more performatively proud — Hobartians or Launcestonians. Ned has signed up for the Tasmanian Devils AFL membership and owns multiple Pokémon figurines, which Josh uses as evidence in multiple arguments. The midweek beer that ended in a funny bone incident gets a full anatomical breakdown, Wolfman is ranked clearly above Dracula in the monster hierarchy, and the boys revisit the time they stayed through a terrible film in an empty cinema in Hobart because neither could bring himself to leave. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The episode opens with a debate about what hairdressers are actually allowed to say to you about going bald, and whether "I've seen it worse" is the most damning possible response. Josh has apparently cracked the code on bacon and egg rolls, a claim that gets the scrutiny it deserves. Later, the boys put Josh through a times tables test that does not go well, and Ned reveals he discovered Sombr before the teen fanbase caught up — a fact he is clinging to very hard. There's also a breakdown of why the bar for calling someone a celebrity has dropped dramatically, and a thorough investigation into whether any artist has ever genuinely insulted a city mid-tour.

Harry Styles doing full choreography at the Brit Awards has broken the internet. Especially after years of concerts that were heavy on charm and light on movement. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny flew his entire operation to Australia on a single Qantas A380 and Spanish-speaking influencers in Sydney are reaping the rewards of being bilingual in ways nobody expected. Ned also hit a wall at the shops when a $30 item turned into a $40 item, a betrayal that sent him straight back out the door. Josh had a rough trivia night, a new neighbour is playing Jason Aldean through a shared wall and the new Gorillaz album landed with a thud for at least one person in this room. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Two adult men workshop a secret handshake in real time and the result is more wings-up than either of them would prefer to admit. The question of whether a pet turtle represents a genuinely intergenerational commitment gets raised and not fully answered. Phil DeRoar, the podcast's flame-tied businessman mascot, is edging closer to having a physical form via a modelling agency with surprisingly limited availability. Ned's ability to understand Bad Bunny lyrics is revealed to be far more real than previously assumed, and the Bananas in Pyjamas production location continues to offend at least one person in the room. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The skinny jeans are coming back and the guys have feelings about it, the new podcast sticker has a mascot attached to it now and his name is non-negotiable, and Donald Trump was apparently furious that Obama spoiled the alien reveal he had lined up. Kids choosing screens over toys has made Toy Story 5 a documentary, a Teams meeting ended in the most avoidable public embarrassment imaginable, and the "30 is the new 20" theory is rejected on arrival. Ray Romano watching a meaningless mid-season loss scored a three, which might be the most controversial judgment of the episode. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

George Lazenby transitioned from selling cars in Queanbeyan to playing James Bond, which remains the most efficient career pivot in recorded history and is being used as a data point in ongoing negotiations about a nine-year-old's future. The toilet brush sits next to every toilet on the planet, completely unimproved, while Japanese engineers developed the bidet into something resembling a luxury experience. Punch the monkey has not developed typical social skills because he was abandoned and raised in isolation, which the other monkeys in the enclosure are holding against him. A dog has been filmed dumping rubbish illegally on behalf of its owner in what is either a loyalty story or the beginning of a very troubling organised crime operation. Two grandpa-branded men were observed in the wild within days of each other, neither of whom have been verified by credible sources. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Bike pegs go missing, and somehow that becomes a perfect metaphor for petty disputes. We also revisit the classic duo dilemma, including that awkward who do you like more survey energy, then step into the cursed arena of feet ratings and paid requests. From there, it is pandas being used as diplomatic leverage, a breakup streaming timeline, and a Carhartt overall fantasy that gets shut down with the tenderness of a slammed door. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

We start with the very serious subject of Ikea’s half metre hot dog and the lingering meatball lore, plus a quick Costco menu appreciation moment. From there, Ned pulls out an “ends or tails” brain glitch and tries to get meaningful about loss, music, and that feeling of suddenly not being alone because a song nailed it first. Also featured: conjunctivitis tears, “clothes casket” as a concept, swimming for cardio and immediately regretting the change room culture, and a French hospital evacuation that could have been avoided by literally not doing that. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

A single AirPod gets destroyed. A hundred thousand condoms disappear in three days. Parliament House refuses to modernise its blinds. That’s the energy this week. We explore Olympic Village myths, leadership instability in Australian politics, and the absurdity of calling 11,000 “hits” a digital explosion. Plus: graphic novels as chew toys, why $87 suddenly feels like $100, the nostalgia of MySpace blog culture, and the ongoing transformation from sending cute capybara videos to forwarding dangerous memes. It’s friendship evolution, economic confusion, and global sporting chaos — all evenly weighted. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Josh accidentally time travelled to 2016 on mic and it sparked a level of outrage usually reserved for parking fines and cancelled gigs. Then we tumble into the surprisingly spiritual truth behind My Life Be Like. Also yes, Tokyo Drift gets its flowers. Somehow that leads to a pub sociology study about seventy plus blokes acting invincible, a proposal involving highly capable fifty five year olds and the weird tension of walking past a Department of Defence conference like you have personally launched the doomsday clock. Secretary versus secretary, and a genuinely grim hallway of dog hair that looks like it has been ploughed. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Ned and Josh are back with a 60-degree temperature swing, a controversial Winter Olympics penis scandal and the return of Minecraft as a mental health barometer. They unpack how dog babysitting turned into fart management, how musical theatre failed to inspire Lenny,and how Josh nearly became the Grim Reaper over a casual birthday comment. There’s also a terrifying deep dive into ski jumping, a weirdly sincere breakdown of road rage in the TikTok era and some uncomfortable millennial introspection. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

It's Superbowl Monday and what starts as a welcome back quickly turns into an argument with airport security, society, and phone notifications. Ned and Josh cover cruises, holidays, government Instagram appearances, and why watching The Sopranos too much can alter your personality. There’s also a surprisingly heated discussion about baby skulls and whether humans would have evolved past that by now. Add in an uncomfortable stock photography revelation, a song that refuses to leave one brain alone, and a major podcast announcement that the Pod Pals may not love and you've got the first episode for 2026. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Food wars erupt as Josh trashes the sacred roast and sides with prawns and Thousand Island dressing. Ned relives a moment where carbonara nearly took him out for the day. There's also a dramatic phone call simulation, accidental ASMR and a brutally honest take on how bad modern sayings have become. With gift rejections, sock-based betrayal and shoutouts that somehow include Michael J. Fox and Instagram Reels it's the final episode for 2025. For more, go to @nedandjosh on Instagram. See you in 2026!

It’s the second last episode of the year and we’re spiralling: Ned wants gifts, Josh wants quiet and Christmas apparently has no aura. We discuss mysterious men, swimming rage, bar job negotiations and Josh’s deep-seated issues with Hamish & Andy’s wealth. Instagram? That’s @nedandjosh.

It’s our final Tuesday of 2025 and Josh’s mum is FaceTiming mid-show, which somehow spirals into a full-blown debate about whether “no presents this year” ever really means no presents. Then we jump into In-N-Out banning “Order 67”, how memes ruin perfectly good numbers, and the science (or nonsense) behind cats supposedly thinking we’re their giant kittens. All before a real-life Mrs Claus refuses a zoo licence for her ten reindeer. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh.

A barista in a holster walks into a wedding... and that’s not even the weirdest part. Also: GPS-based police paranoia, unplanned pub trips, why worming yourself might be self-care, and how flannel shirts could save your dignity.

Buckle up for a podcast that covers everything from wax effigies to economic chaos. We’re talking wax museums (legit ones and knock-offs), why punching Trump’s wax figure feels oddly satisfying to strangers, and Josh’s Flight Simulator obsession that’s gone full Top Gun. There’s a hostile takeover in the media world and an even more hostile takeover of Christmas by Josh’s mum.

A shoelace disaster leads to an accidental headbutt in a lift, trivia night power goes to someone’s head and Lenny the dog continues to believe every knock at the door could be Bluey, Jesus or both. There’s authority confusion, cheek-to-cheek contact with a stranger and a very serious debate about whether ordering food via app to your own table has gone too far. Also: spelling “platinum,” glitter borders in school projects and why QR code menus are creating a divide.

Could you justify spending $3 million on a Batmobile? We try. There’s also Netflix-and-chill movie trauma, dangerous levels of nostalgia for potato cakes and a philosophical debate about complimenting a stranger's gift in a shopping centre. Plus: Batman, but he’s broke and has to go get all his batarangs back.

What do spider hydraulics, the Pope eating hot dogs and an insult to Dunedin all have in common? This episode, apparently. Ned & Josh dive into drive-by bird flipping, Spider-Man’s anatomy, Michael Bublé’s song ownership issues and Google’s unhinged autocomplete results. Plus a moment for cruise-based identity theft, bingo plans and Rockin’ Robyn’s broken ankle.

Can you get fired for being too ugly in a staff photo? Ned’s testing it. Josh is dreaming of a bike and midlife freedom. There’s snail theft in France, childhood caroling ambitions that come 20 years too late, and one hell of a rant about the Word of the Year. Plus, Summernats incoming and a philosophical take on cow destinies.

Cheeseburgers, Big Brother and Bronze Pavarotti bellies, this one's got it all. Ned and Josh dissect the return (and rapid exit) of Big Brother, the ethics of Funko Pop Kurt Cobain, why John Candy wouldn’t want a documentary and how a statue became an ice-skating rink mascot. Plus: dodgy early-2000s fashion choices, baby magpies that look like pensioners and the underrated beauty of the McSmart meal. Oh, and Josh confesses he might be skipping cardio because of swooping season.

From ringtones and Zoo magazines to butterfly kisses and crowd-funded musical tickets, this episode is a nostalgic rollercoaster. We debate Dance Dance Revolution’s place in actual dance, the future of dogs post-humanity and whether Siri’s just gaslighting us now. Plus: a game of “He Said, Who Said?”, a lawn care confession and the longest fart in human history (allegedly).

A Prime Minister’s surprise wedding, a cursed toilet cubicle, and the world’s loneliest schoolies run club. There’s TikTok renaming venues, AI guessing ages and a full-blown identity crisis involving Abel Tasman.

You never forget your first food poisoning, especially when it’s your fault. Ned learns that the chicken you’re suspicious of is usually suspicious for a reason, while Josh mourns not being allowed to keep a koala. There’s Monster Energy judgement, dress code dilemmas and a heartfelt moment of driving validation from a Pod Pal.

Robert Irwin’s Dancing With the Stars win has us feeling national pride, avoided rage at America and confused about his rib injury. Ned meets someone who held his actual childhood dream job and ropes his mum into confirming it. A rear-ending incident leads to an existential crisis, Josh and his dad battle it out with voicemails and Michael touches Halloween decorations that weren’t his. Plus: mango Monster gets reviewed, The Nice Guys still deserves a sequel and Kangaroo Jack somehow gets dragged into international relations.

An eagle steals a cat, Ned gets told off for too many toys at work and a Monster can scores big in Sermonstier. Josh shares a humiliating run-in with a driving instructor while turning right and Ned reveals his old list of rejected vaccine jokes from 2021. Also, a deep dive into Hugh Grant’s full name and why it might secretly be the best joke no one’s talking about.

Coughing for privacy, clicking fake links, and critiquing can design... all in a day’s work. The boys kick off the Monster Energy review series, unpack the politics of seductive playlists, and celebrate a rare win for Ned's dumbest movie theory. Plus, why workplace seminars feel like punishment.

Josh and Ned debate podcasting guilt while a nine-year-old flexes power over a desperate mum. At a school concert, Josh triggers chaos with the “six-seven” reflex and is now plotting a Christmas prank. The boys workshop “SommeMonster” and commit to an energy drink taste test. Meanwhile, mangoes divide the household and Michael joins the mic to fight for bench space and recycling justice.

Between Nan’s broken ankle and Josh’s encounter with a human Greek god, this episode is packed with chaos. Ned sets off every motion-activated fart toy in Big W while looking for a Dragon Ball Z figurine, then gets publicly blamed for it. Josh questions whether being hot would be a nightmare, and Ned brainstorms a single Roomba-powered Christmas tree to replace hundreds. Things wrap up with a debate on screaming at Alexa and whether Siri is still safe to bully.
