The Inspired Unemployed

We all have those weird little habits and rituals that for some reason we HAVE to do. Whether it’s tapping a can before opening it, avoiding cracks in the pavement or dodging signposts, the boys and their mates laugh over their quirks.  Then, Tessa and Liam join the boys in studio for a very special edition of ‘Jealous or Justified’. Tessa reveals what happened when an incre...

Do you have so many inside jokes with your mates that you’ve basically developed your own secret language? Well, the boys and their friends have taken this to the nth degree. They can have entire conversations that make absolutely zero sense to anyone else, and today they’re ready to prove it. Then, buckle in, because the boys are taking you through the many twists and turns of their a...

The boys are back on Australian soil and have some explaining to do. Starting with how they ended up performing alongside Kylie Minogue at the AFL Grand Final, making videos with her, Jack completely butchering his one line and then doing possibly the worst thing imaginable to Dom Dolla later that night. Then, at what age do you officially become too old for certain things? The boys debate everyth...

Jarch from We Mean Well joins the boys to talk about unfortunate nicknames, including one from his childhood that has haunted him ever since.

It ends with Jack needing stitches.  Plus, in the DMs: are you too old to still be...

The boys girlfriends are in the booth and FINALLY stepping into the Girlfriend Vault. They’ve heard enough, and they’re ready to unleash. Then, the boys put Falcon’s mum Bernie to the ultimate test. Just how far would she go to protect her son’s reputation? Turns out, VERY far. Including being more than willing to lie to a reporter to make him look better. Instagram  ...

Jack and his mate Billy revisit the few weeks they spent sharing a bed back in the day and finally clear up a VERY uncomfortable misunderstanding that Billy has believed for years.  Then, we decide to put Falcs’ reading skills to the ultimate test with a fake ad read designed to be almost impossible to get through. Jack’s in on it, Falc’s has absolutely no idea, its a tough...

Happy Allan joins the boys this week - the larrikin party guy who’s gone viral more times than we can count for his disturbing ability to eat a Long John in one bite. And naturally, he comes armed with an outrageous rattled hookup story, involving a girl, an unexpected ex-boyfriend and an escape.  Then, we asked you for your worst wedding horror stories, and you absolutely delivered. Co...

The boys are going back to their roots this week - and they’ve brought in two men with 25+ years on the tools to settle one of Australia’s most important debates: which tradie is the softest, and which is the hardest?  Then, the boys take us back to one of their favourite trips ever: Kyrgyzstan. How they ended up there, launching their business Arrival, and the people they met alo...

Every guy thinks they’d be great in an emergency. Falcs is happy to admit he absolutely would not be. After being taken down by a bull ant (and failing to live up to Sarah’s expectations of bravery) the boys get into why men are so convinced they’d be heroes in a crisis. And, naturally, why every bloke thinks they could win a point against Federer.  Then we hear your stories...

We asked you for the worst possible times you’ve ever run into an ex - and you absolutely delivered. From painfully awkward to situations straight out of a nightmare, we hear the run-ins that would make anyone consider moving cities. Then, Elouise Eftos (Australia’s first attractive comedian) joins the boys to give them a much-needed lesson in sex from a woman’s perspective. Fema...

Falcon has discovered there’s serious money in children’s entertainment and, naturally, his first thought is to exploit that into a new business venture. Freshly an uncle and horrified by how catchy kids’ songs are, he’s decided to go head-to-head with The Wiggles by creating his own baby song. Unfortunately, he’s created something deeply disturbing. Apologies to your...

Dom is back in the booth! This time, Dommy’s story involves accepting a gig as a nude model for a bachelorette party, prompting a few memories from the boys about times they’ve been left naked and afraid.

This week starts with a voice memo from a listener facing one of the biggest relationship dilemmas there is - when and how should you say “I love you”?  That kicks off a chat with the boys' own stories of blurting it out at the worst possible times, the “exclusive debate” and how to ask someone out properly.  Then Jack relives the horror of getting called out in t...

The boys are joined by their good mate Liam, who takes everyone back to one of the most terrifying moments from filming their TV show, Impractical Jokers. His challenge? Pretend to be the world's most obnoxious reporter while interviewing UFC superstar Bam Bam... in front of a crowd of his die-hard fans. It was pretty much a near death experience.  Then, Falcon returns from Burning Man a chan...

This episode starts exactly where you'd expect: with comedian Will Gibb recounting the horrors of his adult circumcision. It somehow spirals into Jack confessing the time he abandoned a girl mid-hang out because he had to rush himself to hospital. Then, the boys expose one of their biggest flaws: they're absolutely useless with remembering names. After Falcon accidentally blanked a very notable go...

Then, after hosting a full-blown funeral for their sharehouse and em...

After the chaos of Jack's girlfriend's dad falsely accusing people of stealing his necklace in Bali, the boys were flooded with messages from listeners sharing their own stories of getting it spectacularly wrong.

Finally, Falcon revives his DJ career in front of one of the toughest crowds imaginable: a bunch of 19-year-old college kids. So many things went wrong, the boys genuinely lost count. Then, Jack gives us the update on the Bali trip with both his parents and his girlfriend’s parents. We always suspected something would inevitably go wrong - but a six-hour stand-off involving the police defini...

It’s true: Jack hates morning sex. He’s also got a few other controversial opinions up his sleeve, as does Falcs. It’s a rough day to be a gender reveal party… or a high school sweetheart. Jack then prepares for a holiday with his entire family and his girlfriend’s parents (is that even a normal situation?). To calm the nerves and test just how much his family has hi...

The boys check back in with the worst manager ever to hear how negotiations are going… and things have escalated quickly. Falcon’s rider now includes golden retriever puppies and even his face plastered on the side of a bus.

After discovering an old email account made for Falcon’s “DJ career”, the boys realise he’s been unknowingly ignoring gig requests for YEARS. Colleges, clubs, random events… all sitting there unanswered because his mate, Soep, may genuinely be the worst manager in Australia. Naturally, the boys decide it’s time to relaunch DJ Falcs properly. Then, Lulu joins th...

Inspired by traumatic real-life moments of theirs (think parachute pants and high school). Then, we get a listener on the line who shares a hilariously disturbing story from a family holiday in Amsterdam. In the DMs, the boys answer a few questions abo...
