Plumbing the Death Star

Oh 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+ Hosted on Acast.

No 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+ Hosted on Acast.

In 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.

Plumbing 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+ Hosted on Acast.

In 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.

With 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+ Hosted on Acast.

Remember 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+ Hosted on Acast.

It’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+ Hosted on Acast.

Your 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.

It’s my three dads as three dads do their best to raise a demon baby! You see, these three dads don’t have a kid and this here demon kid doesn’t have three dads! It truely is a match made in heaven. Well actually hell. Or more practically Italy we think? JD takes us through the plot of Omen while Zammit get m-pregged and Jackson gets caught up in a Diet Coke baby scandal.

Hey, never say Plumbing the Death Star never did anything for you. Best Man PJ asked Plumbing the Death Star for a shoutout for his mates Tom’s wedding and they went and did a whole episode instead. A wedding themed episode, no less. Jackson asks Professor X to be his best person and crosses some personal boundaries, Zammit opts for Superman and, uh, yeah, we’d like it if he’d get our Step Mum back from Space, and Duscher chooses Remy the Rat, forgetting the powers of Remy the Rat and ruining his whole wedding. It’s a matrimonial spectacular, congratulations, you look radiant in that dress and oh so handsome in that suit, look at you two go.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+ Hosted on Acast.

Peter Parker you're not a good boyfriend. You never puts MJ first, you're always missing her plays or other events that are important to her. We understand your uncle's car crash gave you powers or whatever and because of that you stop crime as Car Uncle Man but Peter, you can't predict the future and we're fairly sure your Car Uncle, Cuncle Ben, wouldn't have wanted you to stop that car that killed him. He'd be worried that you might injure yourself, or worse, get turned into a car, like how your uncle did before he died and told you about powers and responsibility or something we think? All we're trying to say is that you're always leaving, and from the distance, the suit you're always wearing is just one giant red flag. Go to therapy, get a pager, communicate more, be flexible with your time and for once in your life, maybe put MJs needs above a strangers?Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+Come see us at the Cheerful Earful Podcast Fest, both live AND streaming!

Oasis is getting back together to the surprise of pretty much everyone, prompting Plumbing the Death Star to ask: hey what exactly is a wonderwall anyway? Why would someone be one? And what does it have to do with the classic Pixar Cars franchise? Duscher has some strong opinions on the game of Downball, Zammit theorises about an invisible wall that is also Car Heaven, and Jackson remembers the movie Drop Dead Fred. It’s a question for the age that even the Gallagher Brothers are unable to answer in any concrete way.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+Come see us at the Cheerful Earful Podcast Fest, both live AND streaming!

Things are off to a bad start when Zammit wants to de-voice himself and JD wraps himself in a blanket before landing on 'being on a boat' would be the best way to survive a Quiet Place. However, now what? They don't know how to fish, discussion of desalination only leads to yelling which is the one thing they really shouldn't do. The boys argue about magnetic south, try to eat fish bones and fail to catch seagulls (for its hydrating blood) before a quick divergence into JFK young juice conspiracies and qanon's interesting theories about that one bad day in Dallas.

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.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+If you’re in the UK and want to see three beautiful idiots live and in the flesh, head on over to https://www.sanspantsradio.com/events/category/live-shows/ and grab your tickets today to see us in Melbourne, London, Edinburgh, Manchester and/or Birmingham.

Puberty is never good. It's even worse when your teeth are little guys, you can explode exactly one (1) time or Wolverine is there to welcome you into the X-Men while you wait in a cave. Today the clever geniuses at Plumbing the Death Star are asking what the worst mutant ability to awaken with. Zammit wants us all to have big thinks or be pig warmers, Jackson experiences a very bad morning before getting a great pair of sunglasses but JD goes and ruins it for everyone. From having the sensation of pie to experience a haircut you're not having to orifices dialatingon their own. All we know is that when JD's power awakens you better pray to whatever god you believe in that you just happen to be sitting down when he is.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+If you’re in the UK and want to see three beautiful idiots live and in the flesh, head on over to https://www.sanspantsradio.com/events/category/live-shows/ and grab your tickets today to see us in Melbourne, London, Edinburgh, Manchester and/or Birmingham.

This is pop culture. We swear. Springsteen wrote a song (and a book) so it counts! Outlaw Pete is about a bank-robbing baby whose exploits become a meditation on sin, fate, and free will. Springsteen himself said it’s essentially the story of a man trying to outlive and outlast his sins! Now the sin is robbing a bank and the man is a baby but it still counts! But we here at Plumbing the Death Star ain’t gonna spend any time on that, we’re here today to discuss how you’d rob a bank using the powers of a baby. And not just any baby, a baby that is at most 3 months old. Zero object permanence, no knee caps and a weak fontanelle are just a few of the things in our arsenal to rob a hank. You might be thinking that such a task is impossible and we’re here to tell you that yes, not being able to speak, hold your own neck up or even have man-thoughts are definitely hurdles. But never underestimate the nature of man, or in this case baby, and our willingness to overcome any obstacle put in our way.

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.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+If you’re in Melbourne or the UK and want to see three beautiful idiots live and in the flesh, head on over to https://www.sanspantsradio.com/events/category/live-shows/ and grab your tickets today to see us in Melbourne, London, Edinburgh, Manchester and/or Birmingham.

In Pokemon-realm there’s only three things to do: fight, breed or sell bicycle and the Plumbing Boys are all out of Pokemon. There might also be beauty show? We’re unclear if that’s true. There’s a lot of horse kick math from the leading experts of getting kicked in the head (by horse) that results in a very bad day at the circus and realising that a lot of animals struggle against rock, hate being on fire and cannot body electricity. Jackson chooses sell bicycle and picks snake in a very simple 3 or 4 step plan to make a million dollars that mostly involves shaking down a kid and then faking getting really sick. JD gets on his soapbox about dog shows and Zammit just wants to think about bears. It’s a lot of thinks about animals this week but there’s one thing we cannot deny, a cassowary is god’s most sinful creationLinks to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+If you’re in Melbourne or the UK and want to see three beautiful idiots live and in the flesh, head on over to https://www.sanspantsradio.com/events/category/live-shows/ and grab your tickets today to see us in Melbourne, London, Edinburgh, Manchester and/or Birmingham.

It’s 1990 somethings! A truly blissful time when the internet didn’t exist, everyone was still recovering from the 80s, tying a flannelette shirt around your waist was the pinnacle of fashion and you had to buy your music from an actual record store. But you didn’t want to buy your music from some kind of bland corporate mega corp like Music Town. You want to go somewhere hip and radical like Empire Records! Where the staff can get away with stealing a large amount of money, have Rex Manning slam your cheeks in the copy room and you can perform your next big hit ‘Sugar High’ on the rooftop. Like a Beatle! Sure it’s not all good times. You might hallucinate Gwar sacrificing you on stage and your boss might hit you, but at least he didn’t turn you into the cops. See, it’s all swings and roundabouts! Empire Records, now accepting job applications by gun point and they’re open ‘til midnight.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+If you’re in Melbourne or the UK and want to see three beautiful idiots live and in the flesh, head on over to https://www.sanspantsradio.com/events/category/live-shows/ and grab your tickets today to see us in Melbourne, London, Edinburgh, Manchester and/or Birmingham.
