About this episode

Ned and Josh discuss Merlin the Duck's World Cup fame, review the new Supergirl movie, and share personal anecdotes about impulse buying and rugby league.

Merlin the Duck has somehow become one of the biggest stars of the World Cup without setting foot inside a stadium, and Ned and Josh spend a good chunk of this episode working out exactly why he's banned and whether he's at risk of spotting a relative on a dinner plate. From there it's straight into a review of the new Supergirl movie, with both hosts defending the leads against some harsher reviews online. Josh admits to an impulse-buying habit that saw him swap shopping centres just to dodge temptation before immediately failing anyway, landing on an RGB light as his latest unnecessary purchase. The episode wraps with a deep dive into a soggy rugby league clash, featuring a team name that might be the best in the competition.Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh
