Selling a dream is a lot like selling yourself. Get you a podcasting duo that can do both. Hi, we're Gus and Rig from Gus and Rig. We are releasing this special presentation to you to let you know where we've been, what we've been doing and what we have planned for the Tokyo 2020+1 Olympics on our other podcast Medallica. We hope that you laugh, but more importantly, we hope that you badger the powers that be in a company that you either work for and/or own, to get right behind us in terms of sponsorship of our shows, various content and media appearances. There's a whole bunch of options available but there's only one underdog like you in your business and/or industry that can help out the underdogs that be us. Have a listen, dust off your cat paws, head to gusandrig.biz and help if you can, or jump over to Medallica on your favourite podcast app and hit subscribe. Let's get dot bizzy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

Let's be real - it's been a shit of a year. From Brexit to Covid and everything in between, people will never forget 2020. UNTIL WE MAKE YOU FORGET WITH TWO HOURS OF ABSOLUTE FIRE. That's right. The Yule Lads have come to bless your ears and sniff your doorways in a bumper Christmas episode. It's a pillowcase under the tree that contains Kris Kringle horror shows, Gus's ongoing stoush with WA Police, a giant cat with the freshest kicks around and so much more. We also have a look at the year that was and why we're so god damn happy to see the end of it. Make sure to give it a listen when you've had enough of your annoying family, or you're on a road trip within your own state/country due to lockdown.

People are cooked. How do we know this? Usually, just a passing glance will do the trick. However, how do we truly understand the method behind the cookery? Google searches. There are a lot of idiots out there contributing the weirdest search terms that the internet has ever seen. In this very first edition of Trends In Low Places, Gus delivers a range of bizarre and still somehow wildly popular Google searches to Rig, as they try and figure out the answer to the question that has plagued humanity since 1997: Why are people sexually attracted to Pokemon? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

Game of Rones Episode XVII: He Touched Me is ready for your listening pleasure. Weird title we know, but we assume Elvis meant it in a biblical sense, not like a sinister Catholic sense. Please don't make us into a hashtag. But let us touch you with tales from the low lights of Canberra to the dog statues of Turkmenistan and all the crazy googly-eyed, kid-punching sports mascots in between. Let us touch your ears with some laughs, and feel free to touch our hearts with a review if you're so inclined. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Fails of Our Lives. In this very special presentation, we turn the magnifying glass on ourselves to go over one of the worst gigs we've ever played. A couple of years ago we were asked to host a major industry awards night. We came, we saw, we failed miserably. This is a recount of what led up to it and how badly it went. It's a tale of misplaced grandeur, icy receptions, lost jokes and slave labour. Click above to listen to our Vietnam. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

Welcome to the Gus and Rig Presidential Debate. 2020 has been a year for the books for the USA: Coronavirus has ravaged the country, civil unrest continues, and wildfires are burning through California. But we don't care about ANY of that. In a special (non) televised debate, Gus and Rig go head to head to see whether Joe Biden or Donald Trump will take the precious swing states in this year's election. They'll do this not by focusing on the issues or party platforms, but based on the best and worst those states have to offer in terms of trainwrecks. People will be offended when their state is represented by winners that hosted a ‘meth death party', denied global warming, reckoned that abortions cause breast cancer and shot themselves in the foot just to see what it felt like. We also pay tribute to those candidates who never made it to the big stage, mainly due to being no-hopers or just batshit insane. It's a deluxe spread so sit back and enjoy the yelling. Once you're done and you've processed all the info, get out and vote if you're in the US or get on the punt if you're anywhere else. eagle scream noise --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

With bandits at every turn, only the Law of the Saddle keeps things in line in this one horse town. Cougars are eliminated, electronic cock cages are mandatory, no mention of Genghis Khan will be allowed and 8ft tall wooden dicks are used to solve any disputes. If you can comply with the law, click the link in the bio or find it on your favourite podcast app. If you can't, prepare to meet your maker. And by maker, we mean 8ft tall wooden dick. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

Game of Thrones Episode XV: The One with the Stoned Guy is now out. And like a horrific hodgepodge of flavours that come with weed-induced munchies, we are giving you jet packs drizzled in crystal meth glaze and topped off with a Taco Bell grenade. It's craaaazy maaaaaaaaaannnn. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

We are stoked that this week's installment is called Super Buddies because fun fact: that's what we almost called the entire show before our manager told us of a possible cease and desist from the producers of the Air Bud movies/it was super lame. This week, we fit about 28 dogs into 14 dogs worth of stories about hypnotism, printer toner, fruit picking and water that “turns you gay” according to a prominent conservative journalist. We use the word journalist very, very loosely. Air Bud fans call it a slam dunk! Air Bud producers call it grounds for a lawsuit! Listen now, Super Buddies. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

Perhaps due to the positive vibes we put out into the universe, or most likely because fans of the show are just the best at sending us f'd up content, we have hit the mother lode. Over several years, phenomenal doctors have been recording the worst nomenclature imaginable and saving it in what we are calling the Batshit Baby Name Bible. We have come into possession of it and good lord there are some absolute knee slappers. Strap in and enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

Game of Rones Episode XIII: Octopussy is now live! It has all the trappings of a classic Bond instalment: nangs, used dongbags by the kilo and someone almost shooting their own dick off. So don that tux, plant a smirk on your face and ask the bartender to play this over the gramophone at your favourite speakeasy. We guarantee it'll leave you shaken. And stirred. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

We hope you're ready to return to Savage Beach - a place none of us have ever been and are only mentioning now - and relive the glory days of your first fateful trip! Cast your eyes upon the sandy hellscape you remember, which is now replete with stargates, cases of refreshing Cadaver Ale, beach umbrellas and 260.47kg of crystal meth. We're gonna have a great time so grab a human table and your favourite glass pipe as we take in the majesty of Savage Beach once again (for the first time). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

We are very excited to deliver to you a long form story emailed to us by one of our long term listeners, Hugh. Inspired by our medical fuck ups, this tale has it all.

‘I LIVE MY LIFE ONE QUARTER COCAINE HORSE AT A TIME': Game of Rones Episode X: F9 is here.

Enjoy the ear cleanse, friends. Kevin Hart. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

As two 30+ men, we understand that we are inching ever closer to death and are losing touch with what is popular and why. So, we decided to head to the source. In this super delectable piece of exclusive pie, we welcome resident young person Tina into the studio to explain Catfishing. Why is it done? What is the point? Has it ever happened to her? All of this will be revealed in this first instalment of “The Kids Aren't Alright” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

When you take one part stupidity, two parts fear and a dash of horrific bedside manner, you get some amazing horror stories from the medical world. We're talking lopped off fingers, testicular ultrasounds, doctors who treat you like a Tinder date, as well as the newest medical innovation, the dick splint. Listen and recoil, just like we did. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

Homegrown Horrorshows sees us throw a topic out to you the listeners, and see what you come at us with. In this episode, we look at baby names and discover that it is just a scorched landscape of terrible parenting out there.

This week we officially welcome the Return of the Jeppi. Gus's spawn has arrived and we could not be happier. To celebrate, we will give you a baby shower full of comically bad carjackers, Corona conspiracies and regrettably heaps of post-2011 Kanye West. It's a belter, so strap yourself in and get right around it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shitshowpod/message

This episode we tackle all the big issues - Leonardo the Coke Turtle, how easy it is to break out of an Italian prison, and 'Janitoring' - the new sexual craze the kids won't stop talking about! We also have another instalment of Iso Horny, and Gus waxes lyrical about why male Obstetricians should have their medical licenses revoked. It's a thing, and you have ears - the math checks out.

At a time of year when you find yourself bracing for shit presents and even shittier interactions with immediate family, the boys are here with a festive feast for the ears that will remind you that someone always has it worse. Jump in the car, lock yourself in your childhood bedroom or “put your kids to sleep”, and prepare to listen, laugh, and not murder a cousin or two.

Gus brings us the story of the Danbury Trashers, a professional hockey team owned by a mobster and run by his teenage son.

Rig brings us the story of Australia's crusade to keep scholar Egon Kisch out in the 1930s using any means necessary.

Rig tells us the story of one of the least thought-out heists ever pulled off.

This week Gus brings us the story of Wendy Brown, the 33yr old mother who pretended to be her daughter to go back to High School.

Gus has the segments and Rig brings us the skinny on a bloke who we all thought just made triangles do maths stuff. But throw in a cult, five years of silence, and a bizarre fear of beans, and you’ve got one hell of a kooky bastard who you won’t be able to look in the eye. Mainly because he’s been dead for 2500 years.

This week Rig has the segments and Gus takes us to New York for the 1930s story of Mike the Durable.

To change things up and certainly not due to being underprepared, the boys bring you a special edition Shtorytime Smithereens, which is chock full of main course tales. Dig in, and lick the plate clean when you're done.

Gus has the segments and Rig brings forth the tale of William Walker a.k.a. Slick Willy, who spent his lifetime trying to convince the world how awesome slavery was.

Rig has the segments before Gus brings to your ears the story of Carl Tanzler, Deutsche psycho/all-time sex pest.

Gus has the segments, while Rig brings the story of how one little girl's penchant for spirits broke the hearts, minds and wallets of an entire nation.

This Ep, Gus takes us on the tale of 1500s astronomer and all-round psycho, Tycho Brahe. This bloke was the full package - a drunken elk owning lad with a nose made of actual gold, who employed a psychic midget and was most likely killed by his assistant. Oh, and to top it all off, he was the inspiration behind Hamlet. We've also got all your favourite segments, and at least one missed sting. Wrap your earholes around it.

WE BACK.....AGAIN. After a mid-season hiatus, Gus and Rig are back with an Ep chock full of Uranium theft, drunk teachers punching on in a burger joint and a woman with a seemingly magic vagina. None of this is a misprint.

Meth squirrels, frozen tree chickens and why the vehicle of choice for zombies is a 2006 Honda Odyssey. It's all this and more in this installment of special format Trainwrecks that didn't make previous eps. Dig. In.

Rig has the segments, and Gus tells us the story of Fernando Martín Vicente a.k.a. a man who systemically cheated at the Paralympics for his own financial gain. He is just the actual worst.

Gus and Rig are back for the next installment of Smithereens, this time focussing on Stories that didn't quite make the cut for a full Ep, with a strict 10-min time limit. Get onboard as they navigate space and time to bring you the very best in full-blown yarns of human idiocy.

With an impending federal election, Gus and Rig unpack everything you need to know about the bland v beige contest this weekend. Enjoy this irreverent look at our nation's future through the eyes of two complete idiots.

Gus has the segments, and fresh from Europe Rig delivers the meaty portion. He brings us the story of the 18th century French eating machine, a man whose eating capabilities were literally used by the army as a weapon.

With Rig galivanting around Europe, we bring you our first installment of Smithereens - a bite-sized episode that features 30 mins of Trainwreck Trophies that were left on the cutting room floor due to a combination of circumstance and censorship.
