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.

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.

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.
