How Would You Curse a Small Sword?

They've cursed a small village, a small town, and maybe even blessed a village, I cant remember. Now they're asking: what if you owned a curaed sword and using it ruined your entire life? That is what the plumbing boys dare to explore on this weeks episode. Duscher makes a sword so floppy it breaks reality, Zammit spends an eternity in Line Realm, and Jackson loses all friction and gets sent to space. Feel free to use any of these curses to wreck your next D&D game. If you dare. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Is Being a Toy in Toy Story a Living Hell?

Two out of three of the boys went and saw Toy Story 5 and came out with too many questions. Jackson wants to know what a toy takes pleasure in and if being used for their intended purpose is great for them, Zammit posits that children are like heroin to a toy and then kidnaps toys for a nefarious experiment and JD (rightly) accuses Jackson of being a horrible, disgusting pervert. So gather your toys, enter a realm of imagination and let them experience the pleasure they crave while you experience the joy of a fantasy you crave. It doesn't have to be sexual. We would prefer it if it wasn't. We cannot say the same for Jackson whomst would do unspeakable things to his alive toiler.

Which Would Be The Worst Animal To Be Werewolf'ed Into?

There's a lot happening in the studio as we attempt to answer the beautiful question put forward by a beautiful listener, Gavbeans. While contemplating the worst animal to get werewolf'ed into the boys get distracted by night swimming, the concept of eating pizza on a boat, if a wasp can make night moves and how come Jackson hasn't had his mouth fingered by a stranger in his sleep. Zammit goes aquatic and gets confused and possibly angered by salt and fresh water animals, JD goes tiny and comes across his biggest hurdle: windows. And Jackson just wants to find somewhere warm and get stuck in the walls. Be weary of flat sheep, avoid getting the chair twice and don't worry about our dog in the pipes. They're just hungry.

What if Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben Had Lived?

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?

How Would You Make One Million Dollars Using Pokemon? with Darcy Smith

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 credit card scam involving famous singers and Darcy just wants to know who owns the moon. Either way, give us 5 stars, kill Darcy in the comments, sign up for a Ditto Only Fans and remember to constantly check your phone for any and all Dogpile updates but go buy it now on steam.

What is the Perfect Length of Time for a Time Loop to Occur?

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 again. And again. And again. We don't know much, but we do know how much we hate the mailman and that the neighbourhood dogs are looking especially delicious. Money's in the sink and we'll see you in the next go around fellas, it's been swell!

In the spring of 2016 we unearthed the long forgotten 1986 Tabletop RPG that is Dinosaur Park and decided to have a quick game. This is the result. In the following months we were able to track down the rare and much beloved sequel, Dinosaur World: The Post-Apocalyptic RPG for Ages 10 and up and once again, have a quick game. Finally, it wasn't until late 2017 that we were able to seek out Dinosaur Universe: The 2001 Space Simulator and once more again have a quick game. Hosted on Acast.

Listen to Mario kart taxi episode

I was listening to the Mario kart taxi episode whilst playing Mario kart, and I was laughing so hard I had to stop playing, and my brother was asking me if I was okay. Me and my friends have talked about starting a podcast where we just put microphones in front of us and talk like we normally do, and this is that podcast. Expect to one day see a carbon copy of this but American and dumber. It was also funny listening to them talking about the worst universes to live in, then the best and they were the exact same ones for the exact same reasons.

Listen to this show to hear a bunch of oafs confidently state incorrect things about stuff that doesn’t matter. I have been brought to tears (multiple times!) by the unparalleled idiocy in these episodes. Whenever the world gets too scary and complicated, I pop in a few earbuds and listen to these knuckle draggers confidently state they know every animal or try or figure out where their sinuses are. By the time the episodes end, I’m smooth brained and clapping like a trained seal. It really does sound like someone just left a couple of village idiots trapped in a recording studio, and brother, I hope they *never* get out.
Great stuff

This is one of the first podcast I ever discovered (this and the weekly planet) But I listen to the majority of the sanspants network and even though you boys are stupid, I’ve been listening for years and at this point you been my Aussie bros for years. 5/5 love you boys
