  • 647. How Would You Survive Getting Hunted For Sport?

    01:04:54||Ep. 647
    The Joels get confused about why they're here but at least they're excited to be on what they perceive to be a film set. Knowing that taking out the first billionaire is integral to their survival doesn't help when they know nothing about basic survival or how to use any weapon of any kind. Jackson can't stop using pinecones and eating spiders, Zammit is uncomfortably too comfortable in taking out the butler and JD just has the best time with the help. It's a dinner for schmucks as two schmucks are hunted for sport and it's clearly a test for the third. Surely we all can't be schmucks. Surely.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+

  • 645. Which Fictional Child Would You Adopt?

    01:02:18||Ep. 645
    In celebration or commiseration of Grogru and Mandalorian, we look at fictional children to see which one we'd adopt. Probably could have worded that one better. I can see why the first 4 minutes of the episode happens now. JD has a mental break and tries to find the ninja turtles so he can ensure his new sephew (son/nephew) can become the 5th turtle, Zammit uses his new boy to make himself look like a pillar of the community until the kaiju incident and Jackson can't stop spraying his kid with the hose. Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+
  • 644. If You Could Have Any If YOU Could Have Dinner With Anyone (Historical) Living or Dead Who Would Who Would You Pick?

    01:12:54||Ep. 644
    It's a very succinct and eloquently spoken question this episode! It's one of those classic questions that it's somehow taken us over 600 episodes to even bother to ask. But we have some ground rules: No evil guys and no dinner of poison! Today's episode barely gets away from us as we discuss Wim Hoff and his public enema escapades, donkey sauce and really go after clowns for no understandable reason. Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+
  • 643. How Would You Become Batman on the Cheap?

    01:01:50||Ep. 643
    This week the boys are tasked with the almost impossible task of attempting to be Batman on the cheap. The biggest hurdle? Not being strong, clever, smart, handsome or good looking. Those are the things that are really going to hamper your boys. We do not know how to make things non-lethal nor do we know how to find information about the seedy underbelly of a city. And even if we did, what are we going to do with that?! Listen in as three adult men realise they are well past their prime to learn how to fight, would be beaten by teens and would lose a handsome competition to a dog.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+

  • 641. How Would You Re-Design Spider-Man? with Adam Carnevale

    01:03:52||Ep. 641
    JD is missing, presumed dead. We can only assume that all his bad decisions have finally caught up with him. But never fear true believer, we have Adam Carnevale from the hit podcast series 'D&D is for Nerds' to join us instead. Today we examine the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man and see how we could re-design that amazing and spectacular wall-crawler. We take the first suggestion of attempting to get a sponsorship from Velcro and really run with it. From the Val-Crow to the Valentine Crow Man, we do our best to avoid getting sued by the general public, Charles Xavier and Val Kilmer's estate before turning on a dime to try and get that lucrative cigarette sponsorship money. Spiders are scary, we do not know why Peter Parker themed himself that way. Is he stupid?
