Charlie and Wil finally get the chance to pin down Five's official Australian tour DJ and ask all the burning behind-the-scenes questions about the seminal act. Andrew Levins (AKA DJ Levins) has served multiple tours with Five. Hear about why one member only eats baked beans. And the thing Levins said on the first day immediately made them dislike him. Plus: why did Wil Anderson tackle a member of Sister 2 Sister? Listen to Levins' podcast Hey Fam! https://podfollow.com/1012201056  Follow...

After a quick discussion about coughing in public and how about 80% of Australians aren't up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines (remember that thing?), Wil shares a gushing review about his favourite film franchise of all time. Charlie backs it up. He says you could screenshot any part of the film and it analyse how it adds to the story. Somehow this leads to Michael Flatley, sex addiction, and gerbils.

Why kiwis (the bird) trigger Charlie, the time he got the flop sweats (at the worst possible time), and how he was royally stitched up while filming an episode of Getaway (it's a juicy one!).

Wil and Charlie investigate a TV series about Batman's butler, which is unintuitively titled, 'Pennyworth'. After they both agree it sounds horrible, Charlie attempts to share footage of his run-in with an old enemy. This leads to an extended hypothetical about what Wil would do if he obtained footage of Charlie dying. And then a more practical idea; how Charlie's disappearance could be effectively monetised.

In the final instalment, our resident teenage Norwegian takes us inside a Princess' 19th birthday party. Wil and Charlie try and invite themselves to a future gathering (not in a creepy way) but Elias isn't buying it. We then hear about a misadventure on a hunting trip. And if human slingshots aren't your thing then maybe you could try the homemade bungee? It's just another day in the wild world of our guitar-shredding hero and his extended family.

It was their own fault. Mentioning the term 'death on a dick' proved too irresistible for show artist and legend, James Fosdike (AKA Foz) to draw. Enter Charlie 'censorship' Clausen. He's worried potential sponsors won't like an illustration of a giant, detailed penis. This episode documents the fallout of what happened next. Deals are done, and the transcript of a WhatsApp message thread is read aloud. In the end, it's what wasn't said, and who didn't say it that threatens the future of...

Ah geez, it's hard not to think we won the series 5-0, isn't it? Adam Spencer joins Wil one last time to wrap up an incredibly entertaining Ashes. The result sparks big questions about Australian cricket, including this one: why can't cricket be longer? Turns out the worst days of the series were the ones we weren't playing. We can fix that.

ENCORE: Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer have just won three f*cking logies for their hilarious series, Colin From Accounts (Binge). Charlie caught up with the pair in December 2022, just as the show was premiering and the couple were making their way back to Australia for the holidays.

Wil's blinding, light-filled home leads to a discussion about Manfred Mann and his (sometimes) Earth Band, as well as the many meanings of the word "deuce". A run-in at the public laundrette has Charlie questioning washer/dryer etiquette and the Netflix WHAM! documentary is a reminder of just how good George Michael was.

Hughesy joins Wil to celebrate Australia retaining the Ashes, in possibly the best/worst way possible — a washout. Meanwhile, England thinks they should be winning the series 4-0, but the reality is they didn't. If only England could focus on spinning the ball as much as they try to spin the narrative, they might win more games. Seriously, the mental gymnastics of these sooks is as annoying as it is stupid.

In 2010 on this podcast, Charlie asked Wil what a bidet is — 13 years later he assures us he knows but we can't be sure. Both hosts venture to the cinema. Charlie shares his take on the new Flash, which includes cameo appearances by stars from decades past. One of these is Gal Gadot. Both Wil and Charlie can't seem to get over the cringe 'Imagine' video she made at the start of the pandemic. They then acknowledge the irony of canceling Gal for a well-intentioned (albeit ill-informed) social...

England have wrestled their way back into the series in Headingley. The loss forces Australia to ask some uncomfortable questions. Has Marsh demanded another call-up after an incredible century?

Charlie's joined by Chaser alumni and broadcaster, Chris Taylor. They're together to chat about Chris' new podcast Birth, Baby & Beyond but the conversation goes down a rabbit hole around faith and religion.

Hi, it's Mike the third here. I usually write these little blurbs but I wanted to break the format today to share a personal story. When I was a kid, there was a thing called the Sydney Water Crisis. Basically, some people got sick because the water was dodgy. We were only allowed to drink water that had been boiled. I was a human child and fast access to water was important to me (still is) so naturally, I was like f**k that and drank the water anyway. I got really sick and Mum asked if it...
