The Inspired Unemployed

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.

Next up, Lulu confronts Jack with a memory from when Dom and Sarah travelled with the boys to New York City for New Year’s Eve - and it involves Jack fumbling the bag big time.

In the DMs, the boys tackle listener dilemmas including what to do about your partner’s weird Instagram stories, how often you should actually be washing your bedsheets, and, of course, reality TV.

Oh, and if everyone could please tell Falcon how wrong he is about his lemon experiment, that would be great.

The boys are known for their sketches, so this week we're bringing back some of their most beloved characters. From the real estate agent to the football coach and a baby, we throw them into increasingly ridiculous scenarios to see just how long they can stay in character. 

The boys then get on a listener, Chucky, to share a rattled story about waking up after a big night with a toddler screaming at her unsure where she is.

Plus, in the DMs: a hookup that somehow resulted in a three-minute voicemail, first date jitters, and being caught in a lie in real time.

The boys are back dishing out questionable love advice this week, helping lasts weeks listener come up with a creative way to properly ask out the girl he's been seeing. 

Then, fan-favourite segment The Vault makes its return, listener submission edition. My god, are you all fired up. 

And in the DMs this week: one listener shares her confident pub pick-up line, while another asks the boys to settle a modern dating dilemma once and for all: is it ever okay to approach someone at the gym, or is it an absolute no-go?

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 the middle of a Zoom meeting for very obviously not paying attention. That opens the floodgates for listener stories about the most embarrassing things they've been caught doing on work calls.

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 changed man. Since attending his first ‘burn’ he is officially a convert and tries to explain why the week in the Nevada desert was unlike anything he's ever experienced.

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 golfer at what may have been the worst possible moment, Lulu decides to put the boys through a brutal memory test using three people they'd met around the office just hours earlier.

Meet-cutes aren't dead... at least not for Dom! The boys are joined again by their best mate Dom, who shares the surprising story of falling in love, how it all unfolded, and the reason his girlfriend is now known as "Pumpkin."

Then, it's time to rile everyone up as the boys attempt the impossible: ranking every major Australian city from best to worst.

How do the boys handle jealousy? In this episode, they put themselves to the test, running through a series of classic scenarios to find out. From a partner who can't stop talking about their ex, to a sibling getting a bigger handout from mum and dad, or a friend landing your dream job, they debate when jealousy is normal or not.

Then, after hosting a full-blown funeral for their sharehouse and emotionally preparing everyone for its demise, the group of 30-something-year-olds (all in long-term relationships, one engaged) make a shock decision: they're keeping it. Jack and Falcs are tasked with breaking the news to their girlfriends, and let's just say the reactions couldn't have been more different.

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. From accusing coworkers of stealing office food, to being convinced someone was high when they absolutely weren't.

Then, fresh off their Bali padel retreat, Jack and Falcs recount what turned into one of the best nights they've ever had. A group of blokes who were complete strangers just days earlier somehow ended up getting matching tattoos, sitting in a 3am ‘truth circle’ and shedding a few tears. For the boys, that's a fairly standard Saturday night. For their new mates, however, it was a slightly more unexpected experience.

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 definitely wasn’t on the bingo card.
