The Ned & Josh Podcast

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 refuse...

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...

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 me...

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: mang...

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 deba...

Josh’s cul-de-sac neighbour waves with the enthusiasm of a hostage, a car screams bloody murder over low wiper fluid and Ned debates whether psychopathy is a real word. There’s general business sabotage, new job nerves and a family FaceTime that turns into a roast session. Also, is hair regrowth finally real? Plus Michael returns just in time to be blamed for everything.

Josh forgets his wallet is missing for a week, Ned shops for Rockin’ Robin’s 90th (and considers a Shania Twain box set) and flags start disappearing from embassy cars when it rains. They rage at Coca-Cola’s AI laziness while fully embracing the power of AI to turn a dog into a gypsy mystic. Ned tries to outgrow his late-guy label as he preps for a confusing town launch and embraces his new job. T...

Josh flexes his new role as a TV review influencer, while Ned deals with the fallout of a rogue dog tooth to the forehead. There’s a deep dive into how long you can be concussed without knowing and a plan to force Instagram followers into engagement, or exile. Also featuring: cult mechanics, radioactive dog misidentifications and the ultimate teacher nightmare... being stuck on a bus with 50 Year...

From artificially cleaning a filthy deck for Instagram to calling out Michael’s ungrateful gaming attitude, this one’s a mess. The boys do a deep, too deep, dive into Baldur’s Gate, accidentally name their fans something algorithmically unwise and test out a chaotic new game called Poker Mouth, complete with screaming headphones and nightclub-level confusion. There's Amazon's tastemaker invites, c...

Josh was convinced Ned secretly went into the Big Brother house. The timelines line up and the paranoia spirals. Meanwhile, Ricky Martin hits Canberra and triggers a full-blown debate: guilty pleasures vs. Britpop snobbery and why Josh would pick Livin’ La Vida Loca over Wonderwall any day. We revisit banned childhood TV shows, dream jobs and the crushing reality of not being spotted on Spotify. S...

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry are reportedly dating and somehow, it kind of makes sense? The boys draft their dream celebrity-politician couples, try to decode California’s dog-faced butterfly and talk about losing money on wildly ambitious sports bets. There’s also a wild tangent about Fear Factor, Stranger Things and sending texts without looking.

We want adult-sized light-up shoes, Josh is obsessed with his new cordless mower and Michael accuses Ned of a chocolate cover-up. Plus, a bear breaks into a zoo and the boys lose their minds over bad movie sequel naming. From “Now You See Me” to “Bear Shawshank,” it’s nonsense.

From elevator improv identities to a nostalgic dream house in Tasmania, the boys unpack the strange sadness of modern life and why we desperately need a new dog movie star. Plus: a masterclass in pissing off trivia hosts.
