We did it. Five centuries of some of the worst podcasts anyone has ever produced. JD doesn’t think it’s that big a deal but Jackson wanted to celebrate the only way he know how: by watching the Phantom Menace (for maybe the first time) on a bus on his way to work. Now two little slave boys, one human and one foal, have big dreams in their little boy hearts of winning the biggest podrace this side of the Rim. It’s the eve of Boonta and Joel and Horse Joel must do their best to get out from under the oppressive ownership of a sick rock, convince the galaxies best known fry cook to sponsor them and acquire a podracer of their own by any means necessary. It’s the racing event of the season as rumour has it one team has an unlikely power source that may result in the best day podracing has ever seen.

It’s a tale as old as time! Man, he lack fire and cannot cook ham, but thankfully man’s daddy, Prometheus, he give us fire to cook our delicious ham! However his cousin (our uncle??) Zeus hate when man make ham! So punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock, and made his delicious god liver everlasting. And then punished an eagle to eat that liver every day! And then there’s that other tale that’s as old as time! Some king, he rude and violated the sacred tradition of being a good host and then cheat death twice. This is no good to the gods so now he must roll a big boulder up a hill only to watch it roll back down and then has to do it all again. For eternity! Now as the pearly white gates of hell open before us and the little goblin man that greets us all asks if we want to opt in for the Sisyphus special or the Prometheus platter, we here at Plumbing the Death Star are given the Herculean task of trying to figure out which one is better. Either way, one must imagine Sisyphus, and by extension Prometheus, happy. It’s the only way to get through it.

Who Had It Worse: Sisyphus or Prometheus?

Sure Kyle Reese and that old T-800 were good and all and did a fine job, but in the history of media surely there are better bots that could have protected those Connors! JD puts forward a robot that can do it all, Zammit delves into history to choose the very first robot that is an army into itself and Jackson has an interesting definition of the word save. From ensuring that John Connor is born, to repeatedly running into the skin issue, choosing the perfect robot to help save humanity from that awful Skynet and the robopocalypse is a lot harder than it looks. A lot is riding on this silly little machines.

What Fictional Robot Would You Send Back in Time to Protect the Connors?

Smart guys, good looking guys, guys with little machines - these things do not impress famous Canadian-Italian Shania Twain but maybe the three biggest knuckleheads in podcasting can figure out what (or who) will impress Shania Twain. Could it be a himbo? Or a loathed toad of a man? And does it change anything if Shania stubbed her toe at the start of the song? A lengthy discussion about doodads and contraptions is had and make sure you all marvel at the inventions Duscher, this generations greatest inventor, comes up with. Arise Sir Wife, it’s time to get our floppy rocket into outer space.

How Would We Impress Shania Twain?

Can you believe it? Three drinks! Joel Duscher has not one, not two, but three of the same goddamn drink that he’s going to slurp down during the duration of this episode. He has truely gone maniac mode for this episode celebrating the 2008 Jim Carrey classic, Yes Man. From trips to Hawaii to seeing Biblically accurate angels, the boys are opening themselves up to the universe and seeing what it provides. It’s mostly a little cake with our morning coffee and getting into massive debt before devolving into a bit about living in the sewers, eating rats and mocking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for being stinky. At one point we were a pop culture podcast, when did it change? Head on over to our YouTube channel to let us know and while you’re there you can see if JD slurps down those three delicious cans of passionfruit flavoured Mt Franklin sparkling water.

Could You Survive Being a Yes Man?

Oh me oh my, we can't wait for the upcoming and soon to be mega hit Madame Web in theatres the week we 100% recorded this episode! You can just imagine the reviews "Sony, you've done it again!" - the New York Times probably. "I can't believe this bed you made is so fresh, clean and not shat in!" - Film Fancier Weekly we presume. "The way they used the natural and inate precog abilites of a spider was both inspired and creative" - The Age we guess. "10 thumbs. This is our film of the year" - IGN. To celebrate such a landmark occasion of film hitting new heights, the boys have decided to have one of their famous thinks and try to imagine a wolrd where they too had the awesome powers of Madame Web. From catching spaghetti to helping out with lunch based choice paralysis to impressing our fellow party goers with our sweet number guessing trick, we use these powers to the max for the sweet reward of "oh yeah," and "yeah, that was pretty cool I guess? I'm gonna go chat to my friend Steve now. Steve!". No stone is left unturned when discussing emotional time travel, splitting yourself into four lads and then sending those lads off into the time! JD becomes confusingly immortal, Jackson pitches the world's first 80-tuplet show and Zammit makes himself a little statue for destroying everyone's little machine. Stay to the end for a wild take from Jackson, remember our YouTube channel has comments turned ON!
