This week, we're talking about a chicken chippie creation that its inventor believes deserves a place on every fast food menu in the country, and the cold-and-sweaty weather phenomenon that apparently has no adequate name yet. A Ford Raptor parks in a small car spot, a passive-aggressive note gets written, and the whole plan backfires spectacularly. Meanwhile, AI is out here drinking all the planet's water, and apparently the best proof you wrote your own work email is a well-placed typo. We also workshopped a Hollywood movie about three friends, a bear costume, and the dumbest insurance fraud scheme ever attempted.

Tupac's hologram was meant to be the future of live performance — so why did nothing come of it? The boys dig into that, and then move on to a man named Bill whose wife recreated him via AI for a post-death Q&A at his own wake. Kermit dating another pig straight after Miss Piggy is covered with the gravity it demands, Josh recounts getting called out by a teacher and responding by telling him he'd ruined the family's evening, and a Chinese patent for an in-car toilet raises questions no one asked for. The mystery of why the radio station sits on Television Avenue gets a full investigation, and the phrase "caught red-handed" turns out to have origins nobody is totally comfortable with.

What happens when a conductor gets a little too into it and knocks a priceless 18th-century violin straight out of a violinist's hands? That's the chaos we're unpacking this week, alongside the genuine moral question of whether it's acceptable to shame a stranger's misbehaving kid in the supermarket with nothing but a stern headshake. We also get into the Finnish Air Force's most entertaining flight exercise on record, the weird territorial drama unfolding at one very specific power box on a dog walk, and why AI recipe videos are genuinely broken as a concept when the cake goes into the oven without a tin. We touch on the sneakers-with-jeans fashion debate, the environmental cost of AI data centres, and a 91-year-old woman in Ohio who was absolutely not in danger — she just had a great kill streak going.

This episode lurches from parents enabling romantic weekends to people roaming public toilets barefoot, which is not the same vibe at all. Along the way there is Harambe fallout, a cheeseburger scandal involving missing pickles, a workplace reading conversation gone sideways, and a discussion about what sport we secretly think we could dominate with zero evidence. There is also candle reward conditioning, name ratings, Magic the Gathering field research, and a fiercely committed attempt to determine the correct bacon to egg ratio on a roll.

A global comedy heavyweight drops by for a chat that somehow swings from parenting reality checks to late night legends and robot battles that sound borderline illegal. Daniel Sloss joins us ahead of his new show Bitter, sharing stories about touring life, Conan O'Brien, and why three days away from your kids feels like a holiday before it absolutely doesn’t. There’s also a very important Australian cultural detour and a surprisingly intense discussion about AI that may or may not come back to haunt him. If you like your comedy sharp, honest, and occasionally unhinged, this one delivers.

The boyfriend chair is an underrated institution and Josh is here to defend it — the quality of the chair, it turns out, varies enormously depending on which shop you walk into. Meanwhile, a man named Tony has spent a year trying to reclaim a 12-foot alligator named Albert from authorities who seem pretty determined to keep him, and the movie Coco apparently reduces two fully grown men to open, unashamed weeping even when they've only known each other a month. The headphone jack is technically still alive on your laptop and your TV, which makes the nostalgia grief feel a little premature, and there's a very specific kind of social humiliation discussed this episode — the handsome guy who calls you "champ" in a way that nobody else will ever believe is an insult.

Returning from orbit feeling gravity for the first time in two weeks is rough, but apparently not as rough as hearing your mum's India stories second-hand through your sisters while she ignores your calls. Kermit has been nude this entire time and no one brought it up until now, the fuel excise cut hasn't stopped petrol pricing from being completely irrational, and there's a growing urge to tap strangers on the shoulder at the servo and ask what exactly they're planning with those jerry cans.

The boys are back in the strange little crossover zone where radio and podcasting are colliding, and it sparks a chat about listener expectations, live broadcasting, swearing less, and whether some things should be saved just for the pod. There is also a surprisingly heated office food debate involving tuna, canned chicken, gym culture, and the kind of workplace smell that should probably qualify as an HR issue.

Then it shifts into complete chaos with a dog walk disaster, the reality of rescue dog attitude, terrible Illawarra navigation, Google Maps sabotage, class action lawsuit texts, dodgy warranty subscriptions, and a father figure on the verge of reinventing himself as Poppy C.

Being spat on in Madrid as a nine-year-old, then returning home and being spat on again because you'd been to Madrid, is a travel experience that doesn't feature in many tourism campaigns. There's also a legitimate theory that energy drinks only feel unhealthy because of carbonation — La Croix gets away with the exact same thing — a bathroom altercation involving a man who had every stall available to him and still chose the one directly adjacent, and a small child who told a full doctor's waiting room her mother's specific underwear brand. The godfather renewal system is explained, CPR dogs are assessed for compression quality, and "well-loved" is formally retired as an acceptable way to sell anything.

Board games are a tough sell when the alternative is playing as the greatest NBA player who ever lived. The boys get into why rainy Easter Sundays inside with the family are harder to navigate than they sound, and what it takes to actually pull a kid out of a gaming session. That sits alongside an Easter egg delivery that Josh's mum clearly rehearsed, the Mildura juice product that's raising more questions than it answers, and the somewhat depressing thought that the shoe store is probably the only place your shoes will ever feel truly new. Ned's grandparents were meant to get a visit this weekend, but registration and petrol had other ideas.

If you've ever watched Friends and thought the characters had an unusually relaxed relationship with their morning routines and the concept of having jobs, this episode validates that entirely. The hosts also revisit the Girl Dinner phenomenon, trace it back further than the internet did, and connect it to a wider theory about breakfast foods that look like pet food. On the other side of the episode, there's a very serious conversation about what a Prime Minister would have to do to genuinely distract an entire country, and one suggestion that would absolutely tank the economy while also being extremely fun.
