Do you have so many inside jokes with your mates that you’ve basically developed your own secret language? Well, the boys and their friends have taken this to the nth degree. They can have entire conversations that make absolutely zero sense to anyone else, and today they’re ready to prove it. Then, buckle in, because the boys are taking you through the many twists and turns of their absolutely diabolical journey to the World Cup final in NYC. So much went wrong that they’re questioning whether they should’ve been there at all. And in the Q+A, they've got a new name for all our poddy listeners, a rattling YouTube search history story, and one listener who’s seriously regretting crossing a friendship boundary.

The boys are back on Australian soil and have some explaining to do. Starting with how they ended up performing alongside Kylie Minogue at the AFL Grand Final, making videos with her, Jack completely butchering his one line and then doing possibly the worst thing imaginable to Dom Dolla later that night. Then, at what age do you officially become too old for certain things? The boys debate everything from giving hickeys and going clubbing to playing on a playground. And in Q+A, the boys reveal how they ended up parked next to Alix Earle's yacht in Monaco, a listener shares his own truth circle story, and another listener has some serious issues with the boys' ranking of the trades.

Jarch from We Mean Well joins the boys to talk about unfortunate nicknames, including one from his childhood that has haunted him ever since. Then, the boys take us back through one of the more questionable experiences from their travels: spending the day with a bear shaman who genuinely believed he was a bear. It ends with Jack needing stitches.  Plus, in the DMs: are you too old to still be living with your parents at 28? How do you make a move on someone at your local coffee shop? And how early is too early to show someone your list of future baby names? Instagram  Jarch from We Mean Well  Send us your stories at https://bit.ly/inspired-listener .

The boys girlfriends are in the booth and FINALLY stepping into the Girlfriend Vault. They’ve heard enough, and they’re ready to unleash. Then, the boys put Falcon’s mum Bernie to the ultimate test. Just how far would she go to protect her son’s reputation? Turns out, VERY far. Including being more than willing to lie to a reporter to make him look better.

Jack and his mate Billy revisit the few weeks they spent sharing a bed back in the day and finally clear up a VERY uncomfortable misunderstanding that Billy has believed for years.  Then, we decide to put Falcs’ reading skills to the ultimate test with a fake ad read designed to be almost impossible to get through. Jack’s in on it, Falc’s has absolutely no idea, its a tough listen.  Plus, in the DMs: how long can you reasonably kick your housemate out to “set the vibe”? Should you get a dog when you know you’ll end up doing all the work? And who’s actually more romantic between the two boys.  Instagram  Send us your stories at https://bit.ly/inspired-listener .

Happy Allan joins the boys this week - the larrikin party guy who’s gone viral more times than we can count for his disturbing ability to eat a Long John in one bite. And naturally, he comes armed with an outrageous rattled hookup story, involving a girl, an unexpected ex-boyfriend and an escape.  Then, we asked you for your worst wedding horror stories, and you absolutely delivered. Cooked speeches, family blow-ups and everything in between.  Plus, in the DMs: first date advice, losing your V-card and Jack’s feet.  Instagram  Send us your stories at https://bit.ly/inspired-listener .

The boys are going back to their roots this week - and they’ve brought in two men with 25+ years on the tools to settle one of Australia’s most important debates: which tradie is the softest, and which is the hardest?  Then, the boys take us back to one of their favourite trips ever: Kyrgyzstan. How they ended up there, launching their business Arrival, and the people they met along the way. Plus, your DMs. Is 30 too late to completely change careers? What happens when you lie about loving camping and accidentally sign yourself up for it to impress a guy? And is your girlfriend using your full government name a red flag?

Every guy thinks they’d be great in an emergency. Falcs is happy to admit he absolutely would not be. After being taken down by a bull ant (and failing to live up to Sarah’s expectations of bravery) the boys get into why men are so convinced they’d be heroes in a crisis. And, naturally, why every bloke thinks they could win a point against Federer.  Then we hear your stories of the worst places you’ve ever woken up, which brings back some questionable memories for Jack and Falcs. Plus, in the DMs, ridiculous fights with friends, the worst people to travel with, and is a boyfriend calling his mum every morning a green flag or a red flag?

We asked you for the worst possible times you’ve ever run into an ex - and you absolutely delivered. From painfully awkward to situations straight out of a nightmare, we hear the run-ins that would make anyone consider moving cities. Then, Elouise Eftos (Australia’s first attractive comedian) joins the boys to give them a much-needed lesson in sex from a woman’s perspective. Female orgasms, sex drive, the positions women actually like and the things men think they’re doing right in bed.  And in the DMs: the boys reveal how they first met their girlfriends.

Falcon has discovered there’s serious money in children’s entertainment and, naturally, his first thought is to exploit that into a new business venture. Freshly an uncle and horrified by how catchy kids’ songs are, he’s decided to go head-to-head with The Wiggles by creating his own baby song. Unfortunately, he’s created something deeply disturbing. Apologies to your ears in advance. The boys then get real about overseas romances, before hearing from a listener whose holiday love story went south.  In the DMs: the boys give career advice they’re arguably unqualified to give, unpack an unhealthy relationship with golf, and attempt the impossible task of understanding teenage boys.

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.  Follow @theinspiredunemployedpodcast on Instagram  Guest: Liam  Send us your stories at https://bit.ly/inspired-listener .
