What Would We Do if We Had the Powers of Madame Web?
Ep. 533
•
Oh me oh my, we can't wait for the upcoming and soon to be mega hit Madame Web in theatres the week we 100% recorded this episode! You can just imagine the reviews "Sony, you've done it again!" - the New York Times probably. "I can't believe this bed you made is so fresh, clean and not shat in!" - Film Fancier Weekly we presume. "The way they used the natural and inate precog abilites of a spider was both inspired and creative" - The Age we guess. "10 thumbs. This is our film of the year" - IGN. To celebrate such a landmark occasion of film hitting new heights, the boys have decided to have one of their famous thinks and try to imagine a wolrd where they too had the awesome powers of Madame Web. From catching spaghetti to helping out with lunch based choice paralysis to impressing our fellow party goers with our sweet number guessing trick, we use these powers to the max for the sweet reward of "oh yeah," and "yeah, that was pretty cool I guess? I'm gonna go chat to my friend Steve now. Steve!". No stone is left unturned when discussing emotional time travel, splitting yourself into four lads and then sending those lads off into the time! JD becomes confusingly immortal, Jackson pitches the world's first 80-tuplet show and Zammit makes himself a little statue for destroying everyone's little machine. Stay to the end for a wild take from Jackson, remember our YouTube channel has comments turned ON!

584. What If The Avengers Had Opposite Powers?
58:11||Ep. 584It’s the one you’ve been waiting for since presumably last week! The Avengers are here but they’re bad and wrong. Captain America but he’s only got swords and his super soldier serum made him all dumb? What about a Hawkeye that inhaled all incoming projectile weaponry? Sounds ineffective and stupid, but what do you expect when ‘Give Calm’ shows up in his eyepatch. For a tasty treat, cook off some wholegrain spaghetti, chicken breast, chopped bacon. Mix up two eggs and some parmesan cheese, take all the stuff off the heat and mix in the egg (with a tiny bit of pasta water also). This will make a beautiful carbonara, but please do be aware of the heat of the pan. Literally the last thing you want is to make a weird scrambled egg version of this dish. I did that this week and It was mostly fine, it was disappointing on a personal level.

51:11||Ep. 583Vague reasons are sending the boys to space against their will. Can they bring a walkman? How will they coordinate ‘whacking off’? But most importantly, is it PON or PONG? (It’s Pong.

How Would You Get the Fox Across the River When You Also Have a Goose and a Bag of Beans?
56:38||Ep. 576It's one of the oldest riddles (or puzzles (apparently it's a puzzle, there's a lot of disbelief and arguments at this)) ever told! You are on one side of the river with a goose, a fox and a bag of beans and you have to get to the other side by a boat carrying one at a time. However, if you leave the fox with the goose that fox will straight up devour that goose and if you leave the goose with the beans that goose will straight up devour those beans. The fox and beans are chill tho. Now there is a solution (or two, that's why it's a puzzle and not a riddle and everyone is mad) but we here at Plumbing the Death Star think a) the solution is not in the spirit of the puzzle, b) it's not efficient and c) reckon we can do better. We go through a lot of broken goose necks to arrive at our answer, discuss at length the problems with of a pig heated house and try to work out an amicable solution with Erik the goose buyer. This riddle wasn't even hard, this was smart and we are in fact geniuses.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+
