Plumbing the Death Star

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+

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+

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+

Zammit is missing, presumed dead. We can only assume that all his bad decisions have finally caught up with him. But never fear as the beautiful and normal hosts are joined by the beautiful and normal Naomi Higgins. Reality TV is pop culture, we dare you to say otherwise and today the gang try and figure out the best way to win Big Brother. They also get into the nitty gritty of Big Brother Up Late, decide what counts as an act of terrorism, and explore how Duscher requires ego death if he's to even have a chance of meeting Gretel Killeen. So listen on, enjoy and do your best to avoid intruders Frank and Oz who wish to do you some serious harm.Go listen to Naomi's podcast 3 Lemons Carcass Out wherever you listen to podcasts. It really is the perfect pop culture podcast.

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?

Jackson is so mad at Wonka that he forgot the golden rule of running a competition: the goal for the company, or in this instance, the man, is to get as much money as humanly possible. Jackson is so hellbent on Charlie becoming Wonka’s heir that he has perhaps forgotten that Willy Wonka is a famous dirtbag, liar and exploiter of workers. Perhaps with an incredible record setting year in chocolate sales, Wonka has picked this moment to scarper with all those funds and then give the key to his “fortune” to some stupid child who was too busy sucking down snozzberries to realise he had been scammed. Charlie is a literal child, he doesn’t know anything about taxes, shareholders or ROI. Two years down the line, he’s going to get a knock on the door while Wonka has disappeared into the wind, laying down on some beautiful island getting his snozzberry slopped off. We’d say not that island, but truth be told, would you be surprised if Wonka’s name appeared on a list? Charlie is going to rot in jail. Idiot child. Just like Jacksom.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+

Lena is joined by her buffoon co-hosts Joel, Joel and Jackson to eventually discuss the problems with superpowers in job interviews. Jackson displays a problematic amount of whimsy, JD is out for Jackson’s blood before we even start the show and Zammit and Lena have somehow synched up their lives.
