A truly eggstraordinary experience befell an unsuspecting Riordan Lee while making breakfast the other day that has the PMP guys wondering, was this a miracle or conspiracy?? Also a Jewish lawyer, a deadbeat dad and a Japanese ghost fold a piece of paper 42 times… Have you heard this one? Find out what happens this week. And the Saad family/ Train saga continues to derail the pod
In this week’s potter power rankings we rank off all your favourite cancelled musical artists both in terms of talent and the severity of their crimes! We also lament the tragic deaths of hot people, revive a controversial PMP catchphrase and have a special message for the evil corporation that hosts this pod. And somehow the undisputed king of spin is still making headlines for his party boy antics from the great beyond
RABBIT PUNCH: you may think common assault and rugby league just go hand in hand, but this week we got a showdown for the ages as an elderly man in a bunny suit squared off against a 9 year old child. Even the Prime Minister weighed in (despite having a federal election looming). Also on this week's agenda - smooching strangers’ bellies, eating rotten produce and rocking out to some Train with the family Saad!
After the success of last week’s pod where we discussed our strange OCD habits we were inundated with freaky tales from the potterphiles this week, whose abnormalities are not only weird and entertaining but also potentially very lucrative! We also give our flattering takes on the Twilight series and Survivor Australia, and find out where our very own Riordan Lee sits in the pantheon of all time great Riordans. And turns out we read the wrong page last week.
We’re 10 pods away from finally finishing this mentally ill podcast. So it's only appropriate that this week we discuss our psychotic techniques to enhance your daily routine, review some hyper-specific themed restaurants that can only fairly be described as very autistic, and of course, have a good laugh about addictive personality disorders and pathological liars!
The NRL is finally back for 2025 and we review all the fanfare, excitement, tasering and drug-related violence of Vegas round in the rugby league. Plus Riordan has yet another amazing work story… and this time, its a genuine whodunnit
SLOUCHING TOWARDS HOGWARTS: the wheels are officially coming off this pod... we recorded this so long ago and just didn't upload it for ages 🤷 and it sounds worse than ever! Anyway I almost can't remember what we talked about but it was something about aquatic headwear , Elon's grubby surrogates, pooing your pants on a plane, and being touched sexually by strangers (for money)
The race for the coveted potterphile medal is well and truly heating up! Topping the pops this week are two of our most dedicated/ controversially named potterphiles whose beautiful PMP-based friendship pulls them into an early lead, just slightly ahead of the humble cup of java in second place. Meanwhile attentive parents, ironic acoustic covers and Lady Gaga all languish in equal last place
You might think after such a long break and with the world descending into chaos we’d at least have plenty of juicy news to sink our teeth into… but rather than try to compete with media titans like Piers Morgan, instead this week we lean into what we know best - niche scumbgas from the early 2000s, brazen public displays of racism and major malfoynctions!
Tis the season once again... and if this really is the last ever PMP xmas we simply had no choice but to get very drunk, drop some serious cash and discuss getting cucked by good old Saint Nick... We also talk about some lighthearted holiday topics like methanol poisoning and Michael Jackson, and find out which HP characters have been naughty and nice this year.
DUMBLE-DENY DEPOSE DEFEND: it’s only fitting this week that the PMP boys offer some kind condolences to the health insurance executive who was tragically kedavra’d in cold blood the other day. We also revisit a heterosexual anthem by (checks notes) the Village People and a civil rights anthem by (checks notes) Harry Belafonte and bring back a much loved game with a Draconian twist.
Uh ohhh this week some shocking allegations have come out against Australia’s most iconic shock jock, and this time… it’s CRIMINAL! We also commend Trump’s flawless cabinet picks and make a few handy suggestions of our own, and pay a long overdue tribute to the late, great Robin Williams. Also (unsurprisingly) JK continues to completely blow the most climactic scene of the book…
CEDRIC DIGGORY-DOO!! The boys look into a new problematic British children's author, and for once it's not JK. The merits of slaughtering animals on live TV is also discussed and a Pottefile has painstakingly put together an amazing audio package for your listening pleasure.
With just over a week to go before the US presidential election, it’s fair to say we’re almost as sick of talking about Trump and Harris by now as we are Harry Potter… But our Hagridlection 2024 coverage wouldn’t be complete without briefly discussing Tucker Carlson’s deranged rally address, Obama's pretentious summer playlists, and Trump’s admiration for pro golfers’ giant hogs. Plus we devise a plan to breathe life into some new half-baked seggies (and revive some old favourites) before the fi...
Without wanting to be crass, this week we discuss Lidia Thorpe’s balls of steel, our three limp penises, and put out the call to the listeners for some flappy tales. We also meet a mysterious new character Criag Philpott!
Unbelievably, it's 6 years to the day since we started the pod!! And with only 20 or so pages left we simply can’t afford to waste a single moment…That’s why we spent our precious time this week discussing the lost art of chimney sweeping, consuming human excrement, sex pests on onlyfans and of course the entire discography of Kate Ceberano
Nathan is off sick, but you know Droo and Riordan had to spit lava in the booth! This week, we scope out our competition by going through every podcast on the Spotify charts and declaring them all bad. We also discuss old man sex toys and help Kasey Chambers with a question she’s been wrestling with for decades.
MCGONE GIRL: curse you Father Time! How many more beloved HP stars will we have to bury before we finish this godforsaken pod?! Hopefully not too many especially considering our tribute to the late Dame Maggie Smith is even more shoddy and offensive than usual. We also have some timely advice for our Gen Z listeners, a long overdue condemnation of our Gen X listeners, and hear about Droo’s ‘fish out of water’ trip to Ibiza.
This week we discuss the beatification of Fatman Scoop and reflect on the life, career and hog of Cuban enigma/ man's best friend Pitbull! We also bring you the latest Republican political drama that is truly obscene even by their lofty standards. And impossibly dry Greek and Italian biscuits finally get their krumuppance...
You would be well within your rights to judge us for yet another extended/ unexplained absence… but before you do, just know that this time there is a truly shocking and legit explanation (for some of it) and yes it does involve the movie Alien: Romulus. But the upside is we have plenty to catch up on including the strange tale of a fox doing coke, the BOOM period of Christian-presenting rock bands, and another Trump assassination attempt with a decidedly Looney Tunes vibe about it. And we also ...
BREAKING, BAD: what better way to extinguish our fleeting sense of national pride than to relive Olympics MVP Raygun’s truly mortifying breakdancing performance. And as the Paris Games draw to a close we reflect on the great nation of France - truly a land of contrasts… terrible, terrible contrasts… And in a particularly sprawling pod even by our standards we also touch on the demise of hot guys, JK’s awful boxing take, rising terror/ promiscuity levels, and eating bear meat.
THE BIG O: On this page we discuss all the action and drama from week 1 of the Paris 2024 Games including Droo's crippling gold addiction, the most satisfying countries to crush in athletic competition, some highly questionable commentary performances, and a surprise appearance from Papa Smurf. And for even more inane coverage make sure you check out Riordan’s new pod ‘ The Gaymes ’!
Plenty to discuss again this week as we review the latest episode of US politics - did the writers jump the shark by killing off one of the main characters? How will the new Trump v Harris storyline play out? And what do we make of the zany cameos from Hulk Hogan, Matt Gaetz and and other RNC freaks? Plus find out what Matt Damon, Judge Judy and Kim Jong Il all have in common…
EMERGENCY BROADCAST! Guys seriously stop what you’re doing and listen to this pod. No time to explain but something BIG just happened to former President Donald Trump over the weekend. Click here to find out what! And with turbulent times ahead, we seek out inspiration this week from some of history’s most inspiring and iconic symbols of peace
This week we receive a masterclass in the art of persuasion from some of society’s most obstinate, pig-headed mf’s - namely Jetstar cabin crew, heavily demented presidential candidates, and middle aged white guys who love using the N word. We also investigate jazz musicians’ offensive nicknames, bring back some horribly outdated slurs, and dedicate a brand new game to the one and only Minerva McGonagall
HOT RODENT SUMMER: It's fair to say that gaunt, spindly vermin-boys like Timothee Chalamet, Jeremy Allen White and Peter Pettigrew have never been more popular in our culture… so what better way to celebrate the ‘hot rodent’ phenomenon than by pitching our new summer blockbuster featuring an all-star cast of ratboys! We also discuss different academic approaches to dick pick historiography before Riordan regails us with yet another unbelievable work-related mishap
XXX FACTOR: Has sleazy record producer/ judgemental grouch Simon Cowell been secretly controlling global horniness for the last two decades? We think so.. And with the State of Origin series opener only a week away, we could ill-afford to have our preparations interrupted this week by creepy AI journalists, international meth traffickers, classic Hollywood racists and affable plumbers 🚽
In light of Vincent Namatjira’s controversial portrait of Gina Rinehart we simply have to ask - does Australia have a disproportionately fugly ruling class? We also discuss how rock and roll can be used to fight racism directly caused by rock and roll, as well as beer bongs, foot fetishes, daddy/ daughter revenge and more of the standard fare really…
Who is the greatest rapper of our generation? What is the future of AI in music? And can the power of rock and roll save the world from ecological disaster? This week the esteemed musicologists of the PMP pod turn their minds to these and many more questions as we tell you everything you need to know about the state of modern music. PLUS find out the hottest new baby names of 2024 (the answers may surprise you!)
Get ready for some truly groundbreaking comedy this week as dedicate a good 20 mins discussing what’s the deal with airlines?!? We also discuss some bold fashion choices in the wake of the garish spectacle that was Met Gala 2024, dig even further into US politicians’ weird relationships with dogs and propose some ironic punishments for the entire Stefanovic clan
