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.

This is the episode of FOFOP that was "too hot for the internet" but now Cameron James gives zero fucks and is happy to talk about it. So here at long last is the conversation that Shane Jacobson believes is akin to calling someone a paedophile on national TV.

Meet Elias Vistven, the guitar-shredding, Norweigan teenager who also happens to be a massive fan of TOFOP. He first wrote in to share the story of the biggest horse in Norway.

Now, after all these years, and countless emails, Wil and Charlie come to face to face with the young man who has given us so many laughs. And all they ask is one thing: can you make us laugh some more?

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. To celebrate the win, we thought we'd revisit this episode (originally published to the FOFOP feed) where they run through some of the details about the making of Colin From Accounts.

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.
