This week Micko and Woody peruse the career of a politician. One whose absolute conviction to and belief in an imaginary friend led him to making some curious decisions. Decisions that led to him becoming one of Australia's worst ever Prime Ministers. Tony Abbott; is best known for wearing budgie smugglers, eating raw onion, excruciating gaffes,  misogyny, homophobia, mateship with George Pell and an undying attachment to a work of fiction 2000-odd years old. Worse still, he's a cyclist.

And don't forget to book your tickets for Woody's Melbourne International Comedy Festival debut from the 9th till the 21st of April.

No intro from Micko and Woody this week, as the latter is at the hospital attending to an unwell better half (who will be fine).
Name-dropping is one of Woody's favourite pasttimes and today's Mad Dog is a big one.

Who would have thought we'd find ourselves, The Mighty Mad Dogs diving into the world of Taylor Swift and her devoted fanbase, The Swifties? 
Witnessing the widespread fervor surrounding Taylor Swift and the passionate behavior of her fans in Oz the past week, we felt compelled to dedicate an episode to exploring the phenomenon of the Swift cult.

While Woody and Micko hobble back from their pedestrian 5km trots, this weeks mad dog with red hair runs circles around them, leaving a ginger trail of laughter and SPF 50 in his wake.
Nicknamed the ‘Hardest Geezer’, extreme ultrarunner Russ Cook has certainly suffered his fair share of hardship during his quest to become the first ever person to run the complete length of the African continent. Recently, however, he arguably faced his hardest test so far: securing a visa for Algeria.

Another one of Micko's adult heroes Tim Barry sang, Does anyone know the name Gabriel Prosser? My conscience says he's the one that history missed.
A courageous figure in the fight against oppression. Born into slavery in Virginia around 1776, Prosser's desire for freedom and justice fueled his audacious plan for rebellion. Micko and Woody attempt to uncover the motivations, strategies, and legacy of this remarkable historical Mad Dog who dared to defy the chains of bondage but not sort of bondage, grow up!

G'day, Mad Dogs! Welcome to the first part of our grand extravaganza podcast, where we bid a fond adieu to the wild rollercoaster that was the year 2023. So, buckle up because we're about to take a stroll down the quirky memory lane of those mad dogs who, in their own unique ways, decided to make their exit from this cosmic carnival!

Micko & Woody are here to question the mysteries of life and death, unraveling the unforgettable antics of both celebrities and quirky characters who gracefully—or not-so-gracefully—shuffled off this mortal coil, leaving us with tales that range from stylish exits to downright bizarre drop-dead moments.

This week we sprint head first back into a Mad Dog sport and to be fair sport is a bit of a stretch but there is a ball involved, oh and a cow!
Calico Storico, an ancient Italian sport, blends soccer, rugby, and wrestling. Played annually in Florence's Piazza Santa Croce, this historic game involves four teams fiercely competing to score goals while showcasing strength and strategy, reflecting a unique cultural fusion of athleticism, tradition and absolute lunatics.
