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 We also investigate jazz musicians’ offensive nicknames, bring back some horribly outdated slurs, and dedicate a brand new game to the one and only Minerva McGonagall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

Make sure you tune in to this week’s pod to avoid making an EMBARRASSING SOCIAL FAUX PAS as we help you navigate the perilous gray areas surrounding proper dinner party etiquette, the political implications of brutally euthanising your childhood pet, and the appropriate circumstances to bring a newborn baby to an orgy. 

Also an all-time beloved seggie finally faces the chopping block…

ACTUAL TRIGGER WARNING

EGG ON OUR NORKS: after unfortunate new details about Kate Middleton's condition came to light this week, will the PMP boys reconsider their position and perhaps walk back some of their recent 'defamebery' content, or foolishly double down in true PMP style?

We also try to diagnose Hagrid's learning difficulties and serve some much needed Viktor Krumuppance to the mouth-breathing degenerates running around at Channel 7.

Consider this week’s pod our love letter to SHAME 🥰 🥰 a much maligned and misunderstood virtue, and possibly our last defence against the depraved horrors of tiktok culture... 

We also discuss the follies of 'whistlecore' music, spicy food, horny AI, and rugby league entrepreneurship.
