Plumbing the Death Star

Zammit is sick, enjoy this episode of What If, a monthly bonus show on Bad Brain Boys+, while he heals his ailing body. It's one of the good ones where they answer the question succinctly we reckon, probably?

The boys are once again joined by their idiot friend Darcy Smith to collectively lower the IQ of the podcast. We don't know what happened on the couch but it's powerful in it's stupidity. A lot of brilliant ideas are thrown out, Zammit wants to make a Chernobyl but good using only Charizards and a "device", Jackson believes the key to success is with Mr Mimes, JD tries to organise a convoluted cre...

The last time the boys got stuck in a groundhog day situation, things devolved pretty rapidly. Especially when ball peen hammers got involved. This time around we get to pick! JD keeps himself entertained by going on little missions, Zammit is proud of himself for remembering the summer months (this is a big deal for him, don't take it away) and Jackson goes from the cradle to the grave and back a...

It's a question as old as time, if you had access to a magic pudding that has the powers of 1. is a little man 2. can be eaten infinitely and 3. if you spin the pot a bunch of times he can become any pudding, how could you exploit that for personal gain or financial profit. Zammit lets the exploit part of that sentence do A LOT of heavy lifting, JD becomes Jesus 2 and Jackson is devastated to lear...

The Joels get confused about why they're here but at least they're excited to be on what they perceive to be a film set. Knowing that taking out the first billionaire is integral to their survival doesn't help when they know nothing about basic survival or how to use any weapon of any kind. Jackson can't stop using pinecones and eating spiders, Zammit is uncomfortably too comfortable in taking out...

This is a good and normal podcast. Don't forget to tell your friends and share it with your family. They'll appreciate and love you even more for it. At the very least, they'll respect you more and think even higher of you than they do now. We promise.

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 l...

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 rea...

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...

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 Lat...

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 attemp...

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...

This week we are joined by Matt Stewart from Prime Mates to ponder the question what if Harambe was buried in Stephen King's Pet Sematary? From guesting on Joe Rogan to the etymology of tossing salad, this is an episode where we all learn things. Some are even ape related! Happy APEril!  Get tickets to see Matt live in Melbourne (use code GOBANANAS):  https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/br...

Today the boys are joined by wonderful friend and even more wonderfuller comedian Lauren Bonner to ask a very important question one of YOU had: which green guy is the best to be? There are so many good green guys! There’s Hulk whomst gets purple pants every time he exists. Green Goblin has goblin madness and that could be pretty neat. The Jolly Green Giant! He’s so jolly! Yoda - he gets to live i...

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. Don’t forget to Toss the Boss as you enjoy all the wake sandwiches you can eat while we all wait to i...

We’re Duscher-less this week but we’re joined by George and Demi from Grin and Dandy to help answer another incredible pop culture question. This time we’re going back in time with only the information contained within our rotten brains to try and exploit those past-os for personal profit or financial gain. The only problem is we aren’t clever nor do we retain information well. Zammit tries a hare...

The human body has so many superfluous bits and is lacking cool things like extra knees and we here at Plumbing the Death Star are the perfect trio to come up with brilliant and very smart ideas to change things up. Let's take a hard look at our beautiful bodies and just go buck wild with it. Swapping genitals? A little guy that does all our poops for us? A big eye on the top of our head on consta...

Your boys have woken up in a lab, or possibly seen a guy who looks EXACTLY like them or simply walked into the Clones R Us store and are now having to figure out the conundrum everyone faces when dealing with a clone: which one of us is the butler? Zammit puts a lot on the line with a flip of a coin, JD revolutionises vets and Jackson's biggest problem is both Other Jackson and Himself. Having a c...

In an episode where they've never needed his bullshit X-Men knowledge more, Zammit's out sick. But never fear true believer as he's been replaced by our good friend Darcy Smith from Studio Folly! Who knows NOTHING about X-Men. He didn't even know Wolverine aka Logan aka James Howlett bones were coated in adamantium. You all better come for him in the comments. They didn't even mention the time aft...

Da boys have 'lympic fever as they each use their last few remaining brain cells to envision a universe where they could possibly win gold at any sport. Zammit wants to make Cold Horse an event and believes he should get one for reasons that are unclear, Jackson might not win gold but he will go down in annals of 'lympic fever and JD is so sleepy from all that jet lag and good Italian eating so so...

Who could forget the 2011 Bradley Cooper vehicle ‘Limitless’? Where he, of course, as you remember, played worthless scumbag Eddie Mora who took so many limitless pills he became Mr Limitless and then eventually, probably, became Mr President (Still Limitless) we think?? Limitless! Take drugs! Have a big think! Fix your life! Maybe if we’d downed some before we hit record we could have come up wit...

The last time we talked about Toy Story we ended up predicting Toy Story 4. Let’s hope the same can be said again. This episode goes out to our beautiful and ugly listeners (if you’re a 5 this is NOT for you)! We want to see your marbles so don’t forget to post your marble selfie and tag us @plumbingpod on instagram and of course, you can always #sendusmarbles to PO Box 7127, Reservoir East in Mel...

Are Kermit and Miss Piggy doing kissing? or perhaps even more...? Who knows? There's only one thing we know for sure, and it's that Jackson should never be allowed near those puppets.
