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 debate on screaming at Alexa and whether Siri is still safe to bully.

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. Then they invent Insompatico Amigos, a game where the only consistent rule is that the boys are never on the same wavelength.

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 9s.

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, cloning dogs and why Woody Harrelson might kill Ned. Give it a go.

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. Somehow, it all makes sense.

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.
