The Ned & Josh Podcast

What does an old-school Aussie pub bloke sound like while discussing mortgage stress over a morning coffee? That sits alongside the case for a married couple's house signature, Josh meeting his new niece Piper, Ned's disastrous receipt joke, a Roomba that becomes evidence of infidelity, the mystery of modern-day Palm Pilots and a Watergate discussion that eventually reaches Edward Snowden.Zambrero guac brings better luck on the joke front, letting someone with two groceries skip the queue becomes a moral issue, Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Thank God You're Here spark improv memories, being proven right gets its own philosophical moment, checkout waiting times become absurd, famous Neds are assigned official responsibilities, brushing your teeth in the car remains deeply questionable, and Josh reveals the grim logic behind booking flights as Joshua.Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

An innocent workplace whistle sends Ned into dangerous musical territory before attention turns to the cracked toilet seat he ignored for months, the astonishing price of premium replacements and the decidedly Frisbee-like model he eventually buys. McDonald’s then introduces its Australian McGold Card, but “McDonald’s for life” apparently means $30 a week for 40 years, which raises some questions about why companies keep using the words “for life” and then getting annoyed when customers interpret them literally.There is also the recently defeated proposal for Ned to give a houseguest his own bed, an unexpected Tasmanian interpretation of Southern hospitality and a new party greeting involving a fistful of famous people who share your first name. Instagram etiquette reminds Josh of teaching his Dad that everyone could see what he was liking, Ted Cruz manages another spectacular social-media mistake, and public figures are asked why they keep voluntarily wandering into this minefield. Dolly Parton then emerges as perhaps the rare famous person everybody can agree on.Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Apparently $100 still buys far more enthusiasm from a nine-year-old than it does from an exhausted adult asked to move boxes. Carrie’s lifting ability comes under scrutiny, Ned admits part of his workday was spent asleep in his car, Lenny takes immediate offence to Josh’s energy, and a near-collision involving a burrito opens the door to some questionable pedestrian etiquette. A tray of pub drinks then inspires a proposed rule for deciding who actually owes whom an apology.Elsewhere, the Empire State Building couple return with serious Batman and Catwoman energy, Usain Bolt becomes the benchmark for exposing The Flash, and Superman’s secret identity raises some dark questions about road rage. GTA 6 brings a Netflix trailer, pricing complaints, missing physical discs, a refusal to pre-order, major leaks and Ned’s baffling theory of how hacking works. Then one Google search destroys a childhood assumption: Mavis Beacon was never real.Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

An $80 Ned & Josh shirt may or may not be coming, tomato sauce faces an attempted ban, unnecessary dog breeds are placed on notice and hat ownership could soon be capped at two. Then comes an airport lounge loophole so effective one man apparently ate first-class food 300 times without ever taking the flight, followed by the Washington DC bomb scare that turned out to involve a piece of adult equipment with an alarming amount of machinery.PBR sparks a debate about what beer actually needs to taste like, complicated craft brews get questioned and the idea of finding a job you genuinely love takes a reality check. There’s also the legitimacy of Twitch as a career, helping a child launch a family-only YouTube channel, what OnlyFans might have meant at 18, the emotional decline from 32 to 35, the dopamine hit of fresh socks and undies, Justin Bieber’s disposable underwear habit and why not every pair of Calvin Kleins is apparently created equal.Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The Ned & Josh Podcast enters its new Tuesday and Thursday era before Ned wonders whether paternal instinct magically arrives with parenthood, a seven-year-old gets abandoned halfway up Mount Fuji, and an attempted Von Trapp compliment goes spectacularly badly. There’s also a serious examination of whether fur-lined Crocs can legally leave the house, the continuing hatred of Jamiroquai, and a bank that has spent 18 months trying to return a single cent.Elsewhere, parking inspectors manage to park Ned in, a heart attack victim somehow still ends up with a parking fine, and the boys nominate the glory days of social media, mobile phones, house parties and problematic rappers. Then comes the mystery of starting a budget when you have no money and the financial philosophy of a man capable of finding new income streams only to immediately spend them.Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The Ned & Josh Podcast is moving from three episodes a week to two, Producer Michael discovers he had absolutely no vote, and the Pod Pals are predicted to respond with complaints followed by reluctant support. There's an Eminem snare argument, a last-word rap karaoke app, a hunt for the right beat, the creation of MC Brewza, a disastrous first freestyle, accusations of blaming the tools, another attempt and a final declaration that Ned is ready for 8 Mile.  Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

What begins with Ned being caught texting turns into a discussion about knowing your intellectual limits, why conspiracy theories are appealing and the freedom Josh feels when somebody else is responsible for flying the plane. A viral prediction that gravity would stop working brings NASA, floating cars and an argument over anchored houses into the mix, while Josh’s first stretch alone at the office reveals he is considerably less comfortable when responsibility involves answering somebody else’s phone. Ned is now crafting custom Magic: The Gathering accessories and fears his furry bear deck box may have overshot the acceptable level of enthusiasm. Josh is meanwhile drinking raspberry lemonade with all the elegance of a small child, spaghetti mouth becomes an unexpected relationship test, and old memories surface about cordial, soft drink deliveries and protected supplies of Diet Coke. We finish with 8 Mile, Eminem’s performance anxiety, Josh’s professional wrestling experience, the baffling choice of pre-battle spaghetti and a freestyle rap challenge Ned may soon regret discovering. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

How much credit should two podcasters receive for making it more than 400 episodes before deliberately recording a fart? From there, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey gets linked back to Dunkirk, Penelope’s commitment is tested against modern relationship standards and Josh figures his unhinged names for the family dogs would expose any attempt to return home secretly. A bathroom emergency then leaves him literally sitting in darkness at work. The possibility of flight introduces fleshy bat wings and other anatomical horrors, Ian Thorpe receives a patriotic defence, and Josh prepares for negotiations over the PlayStation when the family changes houses. We discover Mark Zuckerberg is feeding cattle macadamia nuts, debate whether becoming one of those cows would actually be a decent lifestyle and acknowledge how quickly anti-billionaire principles crumble around luxury perks. Then there’s the Tiguan that apparently looks far too much like an undercover police car. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Should a mate visiting from interstate get your actual bed, or should a grown man be grateful there’s a couch available? That somehow leads into golf, drinking, questionable hosting plans and the broader problem of people having conversations so loudly in public that everyone nearby becomes an unwilling listener. A dog’s mysterious hatred of a baseball cap also threatens Josh’s lifelong belief that every animal should instinctively adore him. There’s a cottonmouth snake inside a football helmet, the universal terror of feeling something crawling beneath your clothes, and an important investigation into why marbles look more edible than most actual lollies. We revisit childhood soap biting, invent tooth soap, investigate Leonardo da Vinci’s unfinished inventions, develop an irrational fear of saying “six, seven”, struggle with incompatible TV tastes and ask why real-life murder documentaries are apparently easier bedtime viewing than The Sopranos. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Lenny’s elusive perfect scratch spot is finally discovered, a website full of “funny questions for colleagues” turns into an HR nightmare, and the economics of maintaining a secret second family somehow gets compared with streaming services. A child refusing to sit down brings an entire Canadian flight undone, airports cop some heat, and the Bobby subscription tracker reveals the horrifying reality of a $981 monthly subscription bill. Winter thongs spark an investigation into terrible feet, mangroves are accused of exposing far too much root, WikiFeet leads to the discovery of WikiHands, and Ned and Josh settle absolutely nothing while arguing over who has the better hands. There’s also survivorship bias confusion, Will Anderson fashion history, whales being much too large and a dog voice nobody should find reassuring. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Dobby fans have successfully defended a Harry Potter memorial from a major power cable, leaving the question of whether protecting a fictional grave counts as cultural preservation or simply moving infrastructure around some socks. Money-no-object staffing plans follow, with personal hair styling and full-time driving both making strong cases, before the complicated world of weddings enters the conversation. There’s a Wiggle among the wedding guests, the thankless job of being MC, speech length etiquette and one particularly risky sequence of jokes about marital infidelity. Law & Order supplies the magnificent name Speed Weed, a new kind of unofficial police warning is imagined, and school memories revive rubbish duty alongside “no hat, no play.” A Grim Reaper waving at hospital patients provides the darkest detour, while two golden retrievers finish proceedings by attempting to convince everyone that their perfectly real dinner was a shared hallucination. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

There’s a soon-to-be teenager planning a Spider-Man movie birthday, an Etsy purchase that feels suspiciously like graphic-design cheating and a plan to retaliate by entering the invitation business. Food collaborations are also under scrutiny, especially when KFC meets Oreo, cola-flavoured milk enters the conversation and chicken and waffles reveal a previously unknown fracture in a friendship. Avoiding a muddy puddle sparks an ageing crisis, Leonard delivers another expensive lesson about playing with dogs, a tailgater appears in the rain and Batman’s stealthy transport suddenly looks wildly irresponsible. Then Wordle, Framed and Wiki Trivia take over as the search for the perfect daily game continues. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The PlayStation that was brought in to entertain a child becomes a major distraction for one of the boys before a full-speed penny farthing creates what can only be described as a glitch in the matrix. That leads to an argument about recreational activities containing too much whimsy, from kite surfing to mysteriously low hot air balloons. Elsewhere, an Australian beagle eats an industrial quantity of jelly snakes, Golden Retrievers steal dangerously hot food, and a dead MacBook unexpectedly gives up 13 years of lost audio and video. The first Ned and Josh radio demo may now be released, personal admiration reaches a very low bar, and unfinished yearly goals involving weight loss, dog walks, Europe and skiing are placed under uncomfortable examination. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The Ned and Josh School of Etiquette returns to investigate the strange logic behind “P’s and Q’s,” dangerous ways to pronounce thank you, and whether anyone has ever benefited from Auntie Cheryl’s manners lesson. Then Barack Obama’s annual music recommendations raise an important question: is he genuinely listening to Charli XCX, or is somebody curating coolness on his behalf? Elsewhere, a suspiciously long workplace break sparks a dispute over coworkers keeping score, Cosmos gets a surprise reassessment, and the comforting message that we are all connected is rejected for making nobody feel special. A passing police car completes the anxiety spiral and inspires an entirely new warning system. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Josh has accidentally booked a ski weekend for the exact time his sister is due to give birth, leaving him to decide whether becoming a first-time uncle outranks fresh snow. Elsewhere, a hypothetical kangaroo enters the studio, Lenny briefly appears deceased, and a perfectly innocent trip to Rebel Sport becomes an identity crisis involving Frank Green lids, tennis equipment and unusually judgemental mannequins. There is also a tribute to childhood comfort toys, the extremely short life of an alien named William, an unfortunate connection to Ned’s alien tattoo, and a debate over whether anybody noticed the Commonwealth Games had started. The Olympics face the FIFA World Cup in a battle for sporting supremacy before Josh is tested on Corey Worthington, Play School, Dorothy the Dinosaur and his own mortality. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The secret behind the podcast introductions is revealed, along with an unexpectedly detailed discussion about fluffers in the modern porn industry. A workplace fart inspires a live covering-up challenge, a car receives a luxurious winter blankie and young men are warned that nobody is fooled by their suspiciously cheap bed sheets. Social media appears to be serving location-specific negativity, even when the snow conditions are considerably better than advertised. Ned auditions to become Meta’s newest lobbyist, a shout at a dog on live television causes the Johnny Depp dog saga to return. There’s also an American healthcare form defeated by a long name, dangerous teacher surnames, a student who resembled his teacher and an attempted schoolyard burn that achieved absolutely nothing. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Creative accountability has gone too far as the listeners become demanding music executives and Michael is summoned back into the room. Pixar layoffs spark questions about Disney’s streaming model, the lost power of DVD purchases and whether HR needs plain stationery for especially grim announcements. There’s a successful switch from snowboarding to skiing, a blue run completed by mistake and a frightening descent past two unimpressed children. Michael’s break involved dog sitting, parental proof of life in Adelaide and a Rogue Traders performance. The fashion desk investigates surprise shoes, corporate dad accessories and the logic of dressing like a similar-looking celebrity. Steve Martin enters the lookalike conversation before a Facebook Marketplace grudge and an intoxicated Sade shirt exchange demonstrate the emotional cost of online bargaining. Follow us @nedandjosh

Someone else’s skip becomes an ethical battleground, getting older means surrendering treasured junk, and the Brewinkle family name receives the explanation it deserves. There is also a bald man with shampoo, a digital calendar designed for a dog and a minor car accident that causes human empathy to disappear remarkably quickly. Elsewhere, Ned confronts his childhood attraction to Spud from Bob the Builder, the origin of the word “mentor” is uncovered, Ned explains his hatred of cheerful construction workers, and an old letterbox explosion leads directly to Satan. The Vatican’s hacked prayer app then raises some deeply uncomfortable questions. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Merlin the Duck has somehow become one of the biggest stars of the World Cup without setting foot inside a stadium, and Ned and Josh spend a good chunk of this episode working out exactly why he's banned and whether he's at risk of spotting a relative on a dinner plate. From there it's straight into a review of the new Supergirl movie, with both hosts defending the leads against some harsher reviews online. Josh admits to an impulse-buying habit that saw him swap shopping centres just to dodge temptation before immediately failing anyway, landing on an RGB light as his latest unnecessary purchase. The episode wraps with a deep dive into a soggy rugby league clash, featuring a team name that might be the best in the competition. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Josh's new hobby of photographing planes at the airport earns a polite but firm cross-examination from Ned, before the conversation turns to the Croatian pony named Mile who was abandoned at birth for being too small and is now recovering from surgery while living in a fourth-floor apartment. Backrooms gets pulled apart alongside a crash course in creepy pasta internet history, and Ned reflects on the strange sadness of realising he can no longer recall a single AFL theme song — something he once had burned into his memory to connect with his sports-mad dad. The episode closes with a very genuine and unresolved debate about whether biting your tongue or burning your mouth is the worse experience. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

A learner driver in an L-plate car full of laughing family members went through a McDonald's drive-thru this week and looked absolutely terrified, which is correct, because drive-thru kerbs are scuffed to hell for a reason and the pressure of ordering while also steering is real. Josh has started calculating what calibrated driving speed makes him look responsible enough to be trusted with stepson lessons in a few years. Claw machines are a young person's game and Ned knows this about himself, which is the only thing that kept him walking. Henry Cavill was at the races and the ascot-versus-fascinator debate opened a taxonomy rabbit hole no one was prepared for. The Simpsons will keep selling merchandise forever because nine-year-olds keep discovering it and falling in love with it before anyone can warn them about season twenty-something. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The boys open with a correction nobody asked for, turns out that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rumour might have been a swing and a miss. From there it's straight into the World Cup, the Socceroos' rough outing against the US, and what it's like watching football fans from around the globe experience America for the very first time. The TSA has had to weigh in on ranch dressing as a carry-on liquid, McDonald's has quietly dismantled the McSmart Meal in three painful tiers, and Pauline Hanson decided mid-tournament was the perfect time to go after SBS. There's also a deep dive into how Don Draper's secret family lifestyle simply couldn't survive in the smartphone era, plus why the word "fraudster" is far too charming for the people who scammed Josh's nan. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Magic the Gathering has a Ninja Turtle crossover that's either the best or worst thing to happen to card gaming depending on who you ask, and Ned is firmly in the best camp. Somewhere in the middle of all that, a mother from Virginia decided to name all six of her kids after American states, a woman without a right hand got fined for using her phone, and a flight full of Knicks fans lost their collective minds while one lone passenger watched Avatar on a loop. Josh gets pulled over in Western Australia by an officer convinced he'd flicked a lit cigarette out of a moving car, which would require Josh to smoke, which he does not. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Josh recounts a near-disaster involving a stray cat, his partner, and some very questionable advice given while half asleep. The conversation then shifts to Indiana Jones and a quick look at just how violent the franchise really is, before landing on the bizarre real history of Ötzi the prehistoric ice mummy. There's also a check-in on the current "ebb and flow" of Ned's relationship with his American Staffordshire. There's a worm-themed relationship thought exercise, plus a hot air balloon trust test that gets surprisingly deep. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Ned and Josh kick things off riding the high of the Knicks' first NBA championship win in decades before things take a turn when Josh confesses his step-sons gave him a brutal new nickname after catching him mid-photoshoot for work. From there the boys debate whether Ned is a coward or a cool guy, before diving into why YouTube Premium's $29.99 monthly fee might just be the most ballsy subscription on the planet. They also get into the surreal sight of a UFC octagon on the White House lawn, complete with claims about runway lighting issues for pilots nearby. A rollercoaster of sport, scandal, and circumstance. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

Ned and Josh try, and immediately fail, to become cool, a bejewelled payment wand gets debated with more intensity than it deserves, and Josh reveals his deeply specific career goal of voicing a poker machine. A rumour about Taylor Swift getting married at Madison Square Garden sends the boys into the Harry Styles rafters problem, and the question of whether you'd invite Scooter Braun to your wedding purely to spite him gets a surprisingly warm reception. Ned's upcoming trip to the Basque Country opens a leave request neither of them was prepared to file, Superman's powers get stress-tested against Josh's anxiety disorder, and industrial adhesive is held up as the definitive argument for paying attention in sex ed. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

This week the boys are navigating public holidays, long weekends, and the very specific psychological damage of going back to a five-day working week when three days off felt like your actual natural state. Somewhere between debating whether a four-day week deserves a salary sacrifice, deciding what life stat you'd want confirmed at the pearly gates, and working out whether a brain chip is a medical miracle or an alien recruitment ad, Ned and Josh also get deeply invested in what Lenny the staffie is detecting on his neighbourhood walks, weigh up selling a $300,000 playoff ticket to someone who probably doesn't deserve it, and figure out why the golden era of band nicknames is never coming back. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

An out-of-office reply becomes a full charity fundraising pitch, and the boys debate where the line is between being absent and just showing off. Producer Michael gets roped into a pronunciation test to settle whether South Australians genuinely say a word a way. Somewhere in there, someone skied in Japan without knowing bears existed there, and someone else is quietly vibrating at their desk after too many coffees. The bear problem in Japan has gotten so bad they've built robot wolves to handle it, and the boys fully support this logic. Meanwhile, England's apex predator is possibly a badger, and Australia's solution to pest control was cane toads, which went about as well as expected. There's also a long detour into whether marathon runners need to calm down a little. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh  

If you live in a Scandinavian country and you're wondering what the ACT's public holiday situation looks like, this episode is practically a tourism brochure. Sardine maxing promises great skin but guaranteed social isolation, and someone in this podcast is prepared to argue that the Amish are living their best life off-grid. The Boaty McBoatface naming saga gets a proper post-mortem, Ned manages the office milk fridge so well he briefly considered a career change, and Captain Feathersword is apparently now being ranked in attractiveness brackets. A desk plant died and its owner is not seeking condolences. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh  

The Enhanced Games have kicked off in Las Vegas, essentially a steroid-friendly Olympics with a $25 million prize pool, and the boys are curious whether it's the future of sport or just a very jacked experiment. There's also a deep dive into BBQ Shapes seasoning inconsistency, a revisit of whether taking the high road is actually worth it, and the Lego Batman game gets a full review from someone playing it unashamedly as a grown adult. Kevin Conroy's legacy comes up while discussing what our  own Batman voices would sound like, and producer Michael returns to run a game the show hasn't played in a long time. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The Michelle Obama mantra sounds great in theory but there's a reason people need to be told to follow it. This episode also gets into YouTube being increasingly taken over by AI narration that can't always handle abbreviations, the pliers-versus-hair-laser debate in airport security (which gets surprisingly heated), and the cursed dollar store amulet Josh is planning to hide inside a wall of his new house for future renovations to find. Plus: Cosmo's lazy behaviour, tradies drinking Monster on a concrete floor that now has a permanent stain, and a Colorado man stealing pies from an unmanned farm stand who has accidentally ended up with one of the worst criminal nicknames in recorded history. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The structural genius of a dog's nose, specifically the ridge that creates a snot delivery tunnel, was always there; we just weren't paying attention. This episode also makes time for the inflatable furniture era of the 1990s, which was physically dangerous and spiritually freeing, and for the charity auction experience category, where the corporate box to see Bruno Mars turns out to be very much purchasable by money, just at a significant markup. Grocery substitution logic gets stress-tested at the sugar-free lemonade intersection, teenage boys are identified as a generation that has permanently lost their 30-minute grocery window, and the idea of paying $9 million for lunch with Warren Buffett and Steph Curry is broken down into fractions of a cent. Also: Outlook wants a quick survey, and Joey Chestnut has lawyers involved. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

In a week where three podcasts somehow got made, the boys kick things off with a wolf-emblazoned jumper that's receiving more compliments than anyone is comfortable with, a 60-year-old woman who absolutely lost her mind, and a dog groomer who once again had some very strong feelings about Cosmo's weight and work ethic. They also get into the hairline anxiety that hit one of them harder than expected, despite the volumising lotion situation being firmly under control and why a mutual friend's baldness struggles hit a little too close to home. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

From Charlie Bucket's suspicious golden ticket survival to the government somehow ending up with the Wu-Tang album, this episode covers the kind of topics you didn't know needed covering. Josh has bought a vibrating wristband alarm clock, it hasn't arrived yet, but he's already confident it'll fix his mornings. While the guys debate whether Roblox is just Miniclip for a generation that missed out. The DJI Pocket 4 dropped and the Facebook Marketplace listings for the old model are already an embarrassment. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

The boys dig into the Dua Lipa vs Samsung lawsuit and whether a celebrity's face on a TV box actually sells anyone a TV (it doesn't). Ned confesses he was lurking silently in a former workplace group chat for months before a visit reminded them he existed, and they promptly removed him. There's also a conversation about AI-generated nostalgia clips tricking everyone into brief patriotism before revealing a toddler eating chicken, and why the Conan O'Brien 2000 Olympics segment is required viewing for any Australian. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

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. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

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. Find us on socials @nedandjosh

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. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

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. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

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. Daniel Sloss – Bitter - Canberra Theatre, 22 April 2026 https://canberratheatrecentre.com.au/show/daniel-sloss-2026/

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. Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh

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
