Plumbing the Death Star
Which Fictional Child Would Be the Best to Step-Dad (Live)?
Ep. 556
•
Recorded live at the Comedy Republic in Melbourne on August 22nd 2024, the boys dared to ask Which Fictional Child Would Be the Best to Step-Dad? Zammit is going to be a father soon and the other two will also be there so what better way to test their fathering mettle with their approach to fatherhood with fictional children? You need to ask yourself, who did it best (or the least worst) as general parenting, the birds and the bees, athletic prowess and how well we get on with other kid's dads are all taken into consideration when raising these children that are now under our care. Zammit is worred he won't be able to keep up with a man-cub, JD wants to be praised for looking after a reverso-boy and Jackson has to explain to a rat the dangers of stealing. It ain't easy being a step-dad but at least the courts will have premo evidence when Zammit's kid gets taken off him.

570. Which Alien Would Be the Worst to Be Abducted By?
55:26||Ep. 570Oh no! Space aliens have taken a keen interest in plumbing the death star and decided to abduct them. What will befall our intrepid trio? Well, Zammit almost instantly dies from exposure, Jackson gets stranded in the past, and Duscher goes to court for a crime he didnt do (but easily could have). There's way less probe talk in this episode than you'd think. Not 0, obviously, there was going to be some, but still you'll be surprised by how briefly it comes up.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+569. How Would You Dunk Achilles Into the River to Make Him Better (and No You Just Can't Throw Him In)?
47:18||Ep. 569No form of pop culture is safe from Plumbing the Death Star, and that includes ancient greek mythology. JohnnyImperfectAlien from the Sanspants Radio discord, asks the boys to give their strategies for dunking their baby boy Achilles in the river styx. To no one's surprise their baby almost instantly gets swept away and Jackson starts eating snakes and then they start remembering the movie coneheads. If you love the boys misremembering ancient myths and getting into arguments about brains and skulls then this is the ep for you.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+568. Would You Take the Substance from the Substance?
55:25||Ep. 568In the movie the Substance Demi Moore takes the Substance and gives birth to a Substance baby played by Margaret Qualley, and that's only the start of her problems. Well what if Plumbing the Death Star took the substance, what would that be like? A mess is the answer. We're talking old knobs and baffling talk show appearances. It's not pretty. If you've ever wanted to know what Rupert Grint's favourite movie is we answer that question in this episode.

Which Would be the Worst Fictional Character to Sit Next to on an International Flight?
58:52||Ep. 567Plumbing the Death Star has reunited after their UK tour and just in time for the Cheerful Earful Podcast festival, and they're talking planes and air travel. Jackson is scared the hulk will suck him like a lollipop, Duscher somehow ends up joining the Fellowship of the Ring, and Zammit gets put up for adoption. So buckle your seatbelt, make sure the tray table is up, shut the window, and get ready to enjoy your flight. Be careful, there's a capuchin monkey in the toilet.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+566. Who Actually is the Worst Wolverine?
51:30||Ep. 566In the movie Deadpool and Wolverine they say that their Wolverine is the worst Wolverine because he got drunk once at the wrong time. The Plumbing Boys find that unsatisfactory. Surely there’s a worse Wolverine than that, gotta be. Zammit imagines a Wolvie who kept his chauffer license and loves his job, Jackson creates the greatest Plumbing riff of all time, and Duscher performs many incredible one man plays to the delight and frustration of his two friends. Art is so important guys, even if it’s just a play about what if Wolverine and Liberace interacted.

53:44||Ep. 565With basically no plan Plumbing the Death Star launch into the question today. How would you redesign Aquaman? For what? Who knows. Zammit wants him bald and mutilated, possibly so he more resembles a fish, or maybe for some other esoteric reason known only to him. Jackson sees him as a fisherman of sorts, forgetting that fishermen are the enemy of fish and fish are the friend of Aquaman, and Duscher goes full ‘lympics and also gets very frustrated with the boys. Do they come up with anything concrete? Who can say. Is it a classic episode of Plumbing the Death Star, liable to be entered into everyone’s top 10 list? Also debatable.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+564. How Would You Use Minority Report?
01:01:14||Ep. 564Remember in Minority Report where if you thought about murdering someone they put you in a tube? The big tube you’re in forever alongside a bunch of other guys stacked six people high. Well here at Plumbing the Death Star we think that’s probably an imperfect system. Zammit is shocked that cops could be made even lazier, Jackson tries to become the worlds worst realtor, and Duscher wants you to send him your Orgy Spotify Playlists please. So hop into a nutrient rich pool and chuck on your headphones. It’s another episode of Plumbing the Death Star, a very good podcast.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+563. How Would You Exploit the Pet Sematary for Personal Gain or Profit?
58:14||Ep. 563It’s our lucky day! We’ve gained unique access to a cemetery where if you bury something it comes back wrong! While we struggle to find the bit Zammit comes up with a hairbrained scheme involving cheap meats and a sack, JD has a longwinded plan involving a certain gorilla and Jackson wants to get back at poachers by encouraging poaching. Sometimes dead is better and sometimes the best laid plans often go awry.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+562. Why Would You Interview a Vampire?
51:43||Ep. 562Your editor's lined up the interview of a lifetime! You're gonna win that emmy but for journalists, a Pulitzer Prize? Weird to call something we give out to people that do a good job at journalism a prize like it's something you won at a carnival handed out by a clown. Anyway, forget Frost/Nixon it's you/a vampire! What an incredible get! You get to sit down and talk to some old guy who spent most of their lives as a shut in except at night. What was it like during the war vampire? What's that? Spent it asleep? Oh how interesting. Want me to describe the sun for you? Christ you suck. The next time your editor asks you to go interview a vampire, be firm in your response and say "no. I do not want to." It'll be the best thing you ever do. Also JD gets distracted by a van in this episode.
