Medallica: Minnows vs The World

Welcome to Day 6 of these Tokyo 2020+1 Apocalympics. Headlining today’s cast is a dominant victory by LZJ in the Badminton and literally the only use for the 160,000 dongbags in the Olympic Village. We also have a massive go at some Boomers (the generation, not the basketball team) who don’t want to know about rimjobs, go over death threats made to Chinese athletes and bring to you our new all-mal...

In honour of Turkmenistan’s first ever medal at the Olympics, we are up and about on the best horse drugs money can buy! We take a look at the ever-changing Minnow Medal tally, catch up on Pita Taufatofua’s exciting Gallium medal and prepare for a Skynet-style uprising of sentient swimming touchpads. Catch up on all the best from Day 5 of the Tokyo 2020+1 Apocalympics now.

Day 2 of the Tokyo 2020+1 Apocalympics is upon us and we could not be more psyched for the minnows now breaking their necks with Gallium, Steel and Brass medals. We cover these and take a look ahead as one of our feature athletes LZJ takes to the cock in his first group fixture, bask in the zero medals that Team USA won on Day 1 and delve into heavy oysters and Channel 7’s subpar commentary. It’s...

It’s Day 1 of these games and we are both pickled and tickled pink. After backing up from a livestream Opening Ceremony that shaved a good five years off our lives, we look forward to the start of the games proper. We run through the Minnow Medal Tally, Minnow Watch and then bring it home with nuclear disasters, Dracula, misguided praise and thousand-year-old grudges in Apocalympics Now. Get caugh...

The beginning of what may be the last ever Olympics kicks off tonight and we’ve got all your prep material right here. In this ep, we take a look at all the new sports to debut in the games, which are pretty much half sports or full hobbies. Our signature Apocalympics Now segment is full of cocaine, bears and bunting made out of dongers. And finally, we lay out the rules for our LIVE AUDIO STREAME...

The Apocalympics are upon us, as the spectre of death casts it's eyes over the games. And that confirms one very important thing: WE BACK! We are 2 days out from the 32nd Olympiad and we could not be more psyched because we are inside and not going anywhere.  In this first ep, we’ll be introducing our feature minnow athletes, discussing the batshit crazy things happening on the desert oasis o...

Selling a dream is a lot like selling yourself. Get you a podcasting duo that can do both. Hi, we’re Gus and Rig from Gus and Rig. We are releasing this special presentation to you to let you know where we’ve been, what we’ve been doing and what we have planned for the Tokyo 2020+1 Olympics. We hope that you laugh, but more importantly, we hope that you badger the powers that be in a company that...

THE END IS NIGH! We are one game away from crowning the football champions of the world and we could not be more stoked that a minnow is in it. We cover the run up to the much anticipated Croatia v France fixture, and also the Belgium v France encounter which no one is looking forward to, both teams included. We also lift the veil and tell Crackle the Clairvoyant about her second career she has no...

WE'RE AT THE POINTY END NOW! People are realising the end is nigh for the 2018 World Cup, which is why they're jumping through glass bus shelters, drugging and robbing people blind, and fining the bejesus out of people for wearing different socks. We cover all that and make a visit to our now beleaguered resident psychic who has shat the bed in the quarter finals. Only a few shows left so make an...

We're back from the relative dead to bring you everything crazy from the Round of 16. It's a bumper show chocked full of crazy fan actions, drizzled with unexpected minnow success and covered in rich, smooth quarter-final previews. Our resident psychic also tackles her biggest test yet in a make-or-break, four prediction premonition. It's a cracking show so settle in and take stock!

WELL THAT WAS JUST F'D. Australia bomb out of the World Cup in 'meh' fashion. We cover the ins and outs of the game, and by that we mean a bunch of things that aren't really football related. We then turn our eyes to the remaining minnows in contention for the Round of 16 as well as pay a visit to our favourite unknowing football psychic. Hack off a slice of this delicious 30 min cast at work or o...

VIVA LOS SOCCEROOS! The boys in green and gold (well, mostly green) will be taking on Los Incas in a literal Do or Die encounter. We go through the news surrounding the boys, the mathematical probabilities and the ridiculous yet true nicknames of the Peruvians. CARN THE MOOYS!

Our Week 2 Wrap Show is here and it's chock full of all the goings on, direct from the icy homophobic tundra of Russia. You want death threats? World Cup's got em. You want racism? Russia's got it in the bag. What about pseudo-funerals for national football teams? It's all in a day's work. It's also crammed full of our favourite minnow moments so far and everyone's favourite unwilling psychic. Get...

The Socceroos have come up with a 1-1 draw against the polite Danes and we are not about it, the same way that Coach Bert is not about playing Australia's most prolific goal scorer, Timmy Cahill. We tackle the now-mathematical probability of making it through the group, Bert's bizarre decision and our lord and saviour the VAR system. Nurse that sore head with some bizarre chat now.

It's do or die time already fam....5 days into the tournament. Beat Denmark, we party like it's 2006. Lose to Denmark, last person out shut the door and turn off the lights. In honour of the pure magnitude of the upcoming clash, we've prepared a bumper show of the segments you know and love, that thoroughly demonstrate our continuing and complete lack of football knowledge. Plug in, get around it.

The weekly (w)rap is here so we're about to drop sick rhymes on you clowns. They include all the big minnow results of the first 85 games of the cup, as well as featured artist Just Putin It Out There. Crackle the Clairvoyant is also dropping red hot fire to make this the most anticipated podcast of 2018

WHAT A WIN BY THE BOYS! A 1-0 result to the Socceroos over the French is the best! To hear more about the handicap that the Frogs faced, give the newest episode of Medallica a listen!

SACRE BLEU-DY HELL! Strap your bits in because it's AUSTRALIA VS FRANCE (in a few days). Doesn't mean we can't give you the BEST DAMN PRE-SHOW you've ever heard right bloody now. It has everything you want: ridiculous player nicknames! Non-existent analysis! Bold predictions that lack any sort of logic!  Your road to getting ratfaced on Saturday while paying attention to something you only have a...

WE BACK FAM. With a week to go until the Football World Cup in Russia, we delve into a preview of all 8 groups based on absolutely no knowledge of the sport. We also introduce our two new segments, "Just Putin it Out There" and "Bygone Battlers" - it's a feature length show that will prepare you for the biggest sporting event on the planet utterly inadequately, but it will explain why Will Smith i...

It's been a number of weeks since we landed back on Australian shores, and we're only now being considered medically stable. We dive back into the Games to recap the Closing Ceremony and our top 15 memorable moments, as well as look ahead to the World Cup in Russia and Tokyo 2020 Olympics. It's got a bit of everything, from train station squid snacks to Canadian car thieves, and a special outro co...

In one of our better decisions, we opt to bring you this cast ahead of Silly Sunday with Peter Michael. It's chock full of the good stuff, including flag confusion, the world's dumbest jumper and filming people against their will. We also take one of our final looks into the Minnow Medal tally ahead of tonight's Closing Ceremony

HUNGARY STAND UP! The Magyars broke their golden duck at the Winter Olympics and we are so geed for them. In doing so, they've also changed the shape of the Minnow Medals. We also hype up our impending world exclusive trackside interview with the Nigerian Women's Bobsled Team. There's also underpants, Canadians double fisting morning beers, weird Russian conspiracies and weird San Marino facts tha...

NEW ZEALAND YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD! It's been nothing but Churs this morning at Medallica HQ because the Kiwis were meeeaann on the mountain this morning, winning their first Winter Olympic medals in 26 years. We are all over them like a rash today but also made time to tee up Medalling With the most famous rig in the world, Pita Taufatofua. We also walk you through Seoul's party precinct, Hongdae,...

The train ride from hell has made this episode half cast, half anger management therapy. We calmly talk about the Nigerian Women's bobsled team, minnow medals and the best damn underdog of these Olympic Games. We then let the hate run free as we describe how Karma kicked us in the dicks in our journey to the Sliding Centre and back. Listen to this while we meditate and try not to kill each other o...

Lack of sleep has ravaged our minds and bodies, leading to the psychedelic masterpiece that is Episode 12. We get geed for the Nigerian Women's bobsled tonight and our world-first interview. Giving us a cheeky bit of insight into the sled is Aussie bobsled person for 2022 and all round legend Ash Werner, who also gets Medalled With. Rig's Tinder profile goes live in order to add another feather in...
