Flogs Podcast

Flan puts Craig and Uncle Tim through a chaotic guessing game that leads straight into the story of Marilyn Manson — from his strict Christian upbringing to his shock‑rock rise, the rumours that followed him, and the controversies that eventually crushed his career.

This episode covers his early life, Trent Reznor’s influence, the 90s moral panic, the Columbine backlash, his peak wealth, the abuse allegations, lawsuits, and how it all collapsed in 2021.

It’s messy, funny, unhinged, and very Flogs.

Uncle Tim takes the reins and delivers the most unhinged history lesson yet: the invention of chiropractic, featuring DD Palmer, a ghost doctor, a deaf janitor, and BJ Palmer accidentally (or not?) running over his dad.

Flan and Craig try to keep the episode on the rails as we explore spinal manipulation, pseudoscience, chiropractic injuries, subscription‑based back cracking, and whether any of it actually works.

It’s chaotic, stupid, educational, and very Flogs.

Craig dives into the unbelievable story of Robert O. Young — the self‑appointed “doctor” who built an empire on fake degrees, alkaline pseudoscience, and dangerous cancer scams. From diploma‑mill doctorates to $50k baking‑soda IVs, this episode unpacks how Young fooled thousands, avoided regulators for decades, and eventually landed in prison.

Featuring:

• Fake qualifications

• The pH Miracle cult

• His dodgy “treatment centre”

• The tragic fallout for vulnerable patients

• The massive lawsuits and criminal convictions

Follow the show, share it around, and remember: you can be a flog… just don’t be the biggest flog.

A runaway cat, a rogue rugby‑playing transit officer, and Melbourne’s infamous feet‑on‑seat standover racket—this week’s Flogs on a Train 2 goes absolutely off the rails.

We break down the 2013 Flinders Street spear tackle where a 15‑year‑old was slammed head‑first into concrete over a $2.50 fare (“CCTV footage showed the officer lifting the teenager upside down and slamming her head first into the concrete…” ).Then it’s onto the legendary $300 fines for resting your feet on metal seat frames (“Commuters in Melbourne have long battled with ticket inspectors… carrying a three hundred dollars fine…” ).Finally, the tragic Paris Montparnasse incident where Niko the cat was killed after staff refused to delay a TGV (“We saw him sliced in half.” ).

Ethical dilemmas, train dogs, spear tackles, and corporate tone‑deafness—this episode is peak chaos.
