Which Child Would Have Been the Best Heir to the Wonka Throne?

Ep. 553

Sure Charlie Bucket got the factory because everyone else failed quicker, but was that the best move by Wonka? Running a business is hard work. Running a questionable legal chocolate manufacturing business with multiple scandals involving workers rights, fair pay and strange and unique injuries to guests is possibly harder. We don’t think Charlie has it in him to bribe officials or squash any dissenting opinions about unions. His amoral failings will be the death of Wonka chocolate and Augustus Gloop will have died for nothing. At least under the ruthless eye of one of the other children, Gloop’s legacy will live on. But more importantly Wonka’s legacy will live on. Sure it might be Wonka-Salt now, but the chocolate’s so good you’ll die for it. Just ask Augustus. You can’t. Because he’s a dead little boy. Due to woeful safety regulations at the chocolate factory. But you know he’d say it and mean every word.

    Remember that time Johnny Cash made a song about doing Freaky Friday with a chicken, and he turned into a bank robber whilst a chicken made off with his fame and fortune? Whatever, it made no sense but I liked the way he said “GEETAR case”. Anyway, this is a podcast that explores what would happen if that scenario actually happened.

    01:09:08||Ep. 589
    We’ve all heard of the Robbie Williams Monkey Movie, right? It’s all fun and games in the world of the movie, but what if you actually had a little ape son? How would that even work? Super ape sperm? Maybe a super ape egg? So many questions, but as always, the most important seems to be how we can exploit him for money.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+Support Jarren's Outpost on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dndnerds/jarrens-outpost
