Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 16

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 16

It’s the FINAL DAY of the Olympics, which means it’s the last mention of the Turkmenistan gas crater for a while.

But we send the 2020+1 Apocalympics off in style, with a bumper show that shits on cycling in its many forms, unveils the winner of the Minnow Medal Tally, sticks it to salty Russians and puts together the best damn Olympic athlete boat race team in minnow-based Olympic podcast history.

Cheers for listening and your support over the course of these games. It means a lot - we’ll see you in Beijing* in Feb*

Look out! It’s the number one Olympics podcast that features all the best in Kyrgyzstani horse sports!

Shooting at a piece of string while on horseback aside, we take a look at the minnow medal tally, talk about the most un-Australian act of these Olympics and dissect the horror show/our favourite new sport, Mystery Horse!

LET THIS DAY LIVE IN THE OPPOSITE OF INFAMY! Because for the first time in Medallica’s history, one of our feature minnow athletes has actually medalled!

It’s a bumper edition of the show! We obviously go off like porridge in a sock with the news that Huge Fab has won Burkina Faso’s first ever Olympic Medal, but we also come good on an ad we were paid to do, take a geeze at the Minnow Medals and cover ornithology, latin and the old country switcheroo. And that’s not even the top of the porridge-filled sock!

Make sure to get your listening gear around it.

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 13 (Athlete Karaoke)

Day 13 is in the books which means Day 12 of the Olympics is being covered (makes sense to us)

We’ve got athletes singing some of the worst songs imaginable, the battle of the Stans, American tears and the opportunity to just be.

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 11 (Feat PITA TAUFATOFUA)

It’s Day 11 and we are feeling like Aussie Swimmers after an Olympic Village bender.

But we are backing up and bringing the goods with force, like driving rain at the hurdles. We have a peek at the Minnow Medals before giving you a sampling platter of our interview with Tongan olympian/soon to be coconut oil baron Pita Taufatofua.

We also have a bumper Apocalympics Now segment just filled to the brim with defected goods, pencil dives and the classic media swtivcheroo.

Listen now if you’re having an off day because you’re only allowed one apparently.

Exclusive Interview with Pita Taufatofua

Exclusive Interview with Pita Taufatofua

In a huge show of trans-Tasman underdog friendship, the People’s Republic of Riggustan and Tonga have extended the taekwondo kick of friendship and come together to provide an interview for the ages.

Pita Taufatofua, the oiled-up viral sensation that is the leading cause of your Mum going into the laundry for long periods of time, got on the phone with us to talk oil, Brisbane 2032, and play the world’s first edition of Martial Art or Porn Genre.

It’s an absolute ripsnorter of an interview that Pita described as better than the one he did with Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart, so suck on your pedestrian interview skills and heaps of money fellas!

Grease yourselves up and listen now!

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 10

We’re into double digits on Day 10 of these Tokyo 2020+1 Apocalympics and to celebrate, we’ve filled this to the brim with a fat amorphous mass that you deserve!

In just 40 mins, we manage to ram in a reference to our exciting upcoming interview with feature athlete Pita Taufatofua, throw Qatar in the bin, check out the Minnow Medal Tally, Aussies getting on the piss, before ending on the alpha and omega of all sporting junk - Shirvo’s hammer.

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 9 (QATAR'S FIRST EVER GOLD MEDAL)

It’s Day 9 of these 2020+1 Apocalympics and we have now seen ANOTHER minnow break their medal drought, with known slave-drivers Qatar winning gold in the weightlifting. We talk about their achievements and blatant human rights violations, as well as Rohan Browning’s junk, the minnow medals and Novak Djokovic being the actual worst.

Throw this into your ears like Joker throws racquets into the stands!

Aug 01, 202138:50
Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 8

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 8

Day 8 of the Apocalympics is upon us and we are barely holding it together. The constant state of excitement about tiny countries has sent our nervous systems into overdrive.

To keep the high going, we cover the veritable flood of minnows in the athletics, have a look at the minnow medals, check in with our boy Huge Fab and witness the start of the Twitter Cold War.

Have a listen to hear us ooze verbal sweat!

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 7 (SAN MARINO FIRST EVER MEDAL)

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 7 (SAN MARINO FIRST EVER MEDAL)

Day 7 and we are officially some of the way through the Tokyo 2020+1 Apocalympics.

And WHAT A DAY - San Marino comes from the clouds to claim their first ever medal! We celebrate by hitting you with the most random facts about that country that we could find, and finishing the episode with Flo Rida's cash grab of an appearance on their behalf at Eurovision 2021. As always, we take a look at the Minnow Medal Tally and also write the audio obituary of the badminton artist/former feature athlete LZJ.

It’s all party in the back, as we sink the boot into American fans, explore that good old fashioned blatant racism, and how the Japanese are incapable of creating a functional item without it also being super cutesy.

Inject it into your veins!

Jul 30, 202145:39
Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 6

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 6

Welcome to Day 6 of these Tokyo 2020+1 Apocalympics.

Headlining today’s cast is a dominant victory by LZJ in the Badminton and literally the only use for the 160,000 dongbags in the Olympic Village.

We also have a massive go at some Boomers (the generation, not the basketball team) who don’t want to know about rimjobs, go over death threats made to Chinese athletes and bring to you our new all-male strip club, The Meat Raffle.

Pour yourself a tequila and milk and get listening!

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 3

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 3

It’s Day 3 of the Tokyo 2020+1 Olympics and we are not holding our bizarre Taekwondo cards close to our chests.

Straight off the bat we take a look at the Minnow Medal Tally after a huge day of action for our perennial battlers. Then, we get super toey with the near-death experiences at the triathlon, put out super weird vibes with the way of the foot and congratulate Rig on his amazing record at the Tokyo 2020+1 basketball.

Make sure to vaccinate yourself against boredom and listen to this ASAP!

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 2

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 2

Day 2 of the Tokyo 2020+1 Apocalympics is upon us and we could not be more psyched for the minnows now breaking their necks with Gallium, Steel and Brass medals.

We cover these and take a look ahead as one of our feature athletes LZJ takes to the cock in his first group fixture, bask in the zero medals that Team USA won on Day 1 and delve into heavy oysters and Channel 7’s subpar commentary.

It’s a belter and the only official audio companion guide* for these Olympic Games, so get listening!

Tokyo 2020+1: Olympics Day 1

It’s Day 1 of these games and we are both pickled and tickled pink.

After backing up from a livestream Opening Ceremony that shaved a good five years off our lives, we look forward to the start of the games proper.

We run through the Minnow Medal Tally, Minnow Watch and then bring it home with nuclear disasters, Dracula, misguided praise and thousand-year-old grudges in Apocalympics Now.

Get caught up with all the action here!

Tokyo 2020+1: 1 Day to Go (feat Opening Ceremony Drinking Game)

The beginning of what may be the last ever Olympics kicks off tonight and we’ve got all your prep material right here.

In this ep, we take a look at all the new sports to debut in the games, which are pretty much half sports or full hobbies. Our signature Apocalympics Now segment is full of cocaine, bears and bunting made out of dongers.

And finally, we lay out the rules for our LIVE AUDIO STREAMED OPENING CEREMONY DRINKING GAME. It kicks off at 9pm and for some reason only allows 200 listeners so first in, best dressed at that time. Visit the link below, grab some drinks and prepare to laugh from 9pm AEST.

Tokyo 2020+1: 2 Days to Go

The Apocalympics are upon us, as the spectre of death casts it's eyes over the games.

And that confirms one very important thing: WE BACK!

We are 2 days out from the 32nd Olympiad and we could not be more psyched because we are inside and not going anywhere. 

In this first ep, we’ll be introducing our feature minnow athletes, discussing the batshit crazy things happening on the desert oasis of Tokyo and talking all things Brisbane 2032.

You haven’t got anything better to do, so have a geeze at the first episode of Medallica: Minnows vs The World: Truck Ramp to Tokyo

Russia World Cup Ep 12: The Final (feat Crackle the Clairvoyant LIVE)

THE END IS NIGH!

We are one game away from crowning the football champions of the world and we could not be more stoked that a minnow is in it. We cover the run up to the much anticipated Croatia v France fixture, and also the Belgium v France encounter which no one is looking forward to, both teams included. We also lift the veil and tell Crackle the Clairvoyant about her second career she has no knowledge of. It's a ripper and a must-listen heading into the big dance. Get around it!

WE'RE AT THE POINTY END NOW! People are realising the end is nigh for the 2018 World Cup, which is why they're jumping through glass bus shelters, drugging and robbing people blind, and fining the bejesus out of people for wearing different socks. We cover all that and make a visit to our now beleaguered resident psychic who has shat the bed in the quarter finals. Only a few shows left so make an effort to get around the latest episode of Medallica on your way into/from that job you are indifferent about!

We're back from the relative dead to bring you everything crazy from the Round of 16. It's a bumper show chocked full of crazy fan actions, drizzled with unexpected minnow success and covered in rich, smooth quarter-final previews.

Russia World Cup Ep 9: Aus v Peru Wrap Show

WELL THAT WAS JUST F'D. Australia bomb out of the World Cup in 'meh' fashion. We cover the ins and outs of the game, and by that we mean a bunch of things that aren't really football related. We then turn our eyes to the remaining minnows in contention for the Round of 16 as well as pay a visit to our favourite unknowing football psychic. Hack off a slice of this delicious 30 min cast at work or on subpar public transport.

Our Week 2 Wrap Show is here and it's chock full of all the goings on, direct from the icy homophobic tundra of Russia. You want death threats? World Cup's got em. You want racism? Russia's got it in the bag. What about pseudo-funerals for national football teams? It's all in a day's work. It's also crammed full of our favourite minnow moments so far and everyone's favourite unwilling psychic. Get your fix of Medallica right here, right now.

Russia World Cup Ep 6: Aus v Denmark Wrap-Up (AUS DRAW!)

The Socceroos have come up with a 1-1 draw against the polite Danes and we are not about it, the same way that Coach Bert is not about playing Australia's most prolific goal scorer, Timmy Cahill. We tackle the now-mathematical probability of making it through the group, Bert's bizarre decision and our lord and saviour the VAR system. Nurse that sore head with some bizarre chat now.

Russia World Cup Ep 1: World Cup Preshow and Preview of All Groups

WE BACK FAM. With a week to go until the Football World Cup in Russia, we delve into a preview of all 8 groups based on absolutely no knowledge of the sport. We also introduce our two new segments, "Just Putin it Out There" and "Bygone Battlers" - it's a feature length show that will prepare you for the biggest sporting event on the planet utterly inadequately, but it will explain why Will Smith is rapping on the 2018 World Cup anthem.

Pyeongchang Ep 17: Closing Ceremony and Top 15 Moments of the Games

It's been a number of weeks since we landed back on Australian shores, and we're only now being considered medically stable. We dive back into the Games to recap the Closing Ceremony and our top 15 memorable moments, as well as look ahead to the World Cup in Russia and Tokyo 2020 Olympics. It's got a bit of everything, from train station squid snacks to Canadian car thieves, and a special outro courtesy of one of our Kul-De-Sac to Korea patrons. It's been our absolute pleasure bringing you the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, pop over to our instagram @gusandrig or check out Medallica on Facebook to stay abreast of what's happening next for us.

HUNGARY STAND UP! The Magyars broke their golden duck at the Winter Olympics and we are so geed for them. In doing so, they've also changed the shape of the Minnow Medals. We also hype up our impending world exclusive trackside interview with the Nigerian Women's Bobsled Team. There's also underpants, Canadians double fisting morning beers, weird Russian conspiracies and weird San Marino facts that you'll probably remember for the rest of time.

Pyeongchang Ep 13: Day 11

The train ride from hell has made this episode half cast, half anger management therapy. We calmly talk about the Nigerian Women's bobsled team, minnow medals and the best damn underdog of these Olympic Games. We then let the hate run free as we describe how Karma kicked us in the dicks in our journey to the Sliding Centre and back. Listen to this while we meditate and try not to kill each other or anybody else.

Pyeongchang Ep 12: Day 10 (feat Medalling with Ash Werner)

Lack of sleep has ravaged our minds and bodies, leading to the psychedelic masterpiece that is Episode 12. We get geed for the Nigerian Women's bobsled tonight and our world-first interview. Giving us a cheeky bit of insight into the sled is Aussie bobsled person for 2022 and all round legend Ash Werner, who also gets Medalled With. Rig's Tinder profile goes live in order to add another feather in the "legitimate country" cap for Riggustan and we get the cheapest single malt whiskey ever.

Pyeongchang Ep 11: Day 9 (feat Sarah Hoefflin's "Taken"-esque Voicemail)

It's Monday in Korea which means most things are closed for no discernible reason. That's not the case with this episode of Medallica though. NZ go hard in the paint in the minnow medals and also have a legitimate medal shot in the Team Pursuit Speed Skating event, starring Peter Michael Michaels. Our desire for Riggustani legitimacy sees Rig become a curler on Tinder based on sage advice from Steven Bradbury and we talk dried pressed squid, our hotel maids who hate us and the dumbest doping scandal you've ever heard

Pyeongchang Ep 10: Day 7 & 8 (feat Medalling with Steven Bradbury)

First episode back after Hoeffmania drinks and we are hungover as balls. Doesn't stop us from bringing the heat in the form of updates on our athletes, and a very special "Medalling With" segment starring the original Miracle on Ice, Steven Bradbury. We also talk through the Korean drinking games that have taken years off our lives and perennial Winter Olympic battlers Argentina.

Pyeongchang Ep 9: Day 6

Pyeongchang Ep 9: Day 6

Strap your bits in because today's cast is a doozy. We cover Jarryd Hughes as he flies under the radar to claim silver, to the dismay of Aussie papers who didn't pick it. Minnow Mania finally becomes a reality as Martins Dukurs (LAT) attempts to get his shit together and Pita Taufatofua (TGA) tries not to hit a tree in the Cross Country 15km (his words). Our cultural journey also continues, with Korea offering up zombie apocalypse 7-11s, luxury ride sharing and a language we just cannot even come close to mastering the basics of. Get your listening gear around it!

We get super pissed at Martins Dukurs and Channel 7 for unrelated reasons and deep dive into Latvia's obsession with silver medals and not much else.

Pyeongchang Ep 6: Day 3 (feat Peter Michael Interview)

Things are picking up in Pyeongchang as our major minnows are gearing up for their time on the world stage. We're keeping you updated on glistening cross country skier Pita Taufatofua, and the Latvian who's become Russia's Public Enemy No. 1, Martins Dukurs. We also have a special interview with the Fastest Mullet on Ice, Peter Michael, that'll make you want to buy him the first round of beers, quickly followed by all the rounds. We investigate a bizarre cat café in Korea Advisors, find another willing ambassador for Riggustan and deep dive into Romania's disappointing Winter Olympic performance in Donut Spotlight. It's all happening over here and the best way to keep on top of it is to eat this up with your ear mouths!

Pyeongchang Ep 5: Day 2

Episode 5 coming at ya. We've been up since 4am and running on the smell of an oily rag. As we barely keep things together, we recap our athletes including Shiva Keshavan, and show mad props to the New Zealand contingent. Riggustan starts to take the Games and Twitter by storm, and in Korea Advisors, we somehow visit a fish cake only restaurant, stand up on a two hour train and review the garbage food on offer in Pyeongchang. Listen now and laugh at our suffering.

Pyeongchang Ep 4: Day 1

Pyeongchang Ep 4: Day 1

Our feature minnows start lining up for their events in this episode, with Shiva Keshavan halfway through his 6th and final Olympic luge program. We lock in an exciting interview with Kiwi mullet-wearing enigma Peter Michael and receive a response from the Pita Taufatofua, the oiled one himself. Riggustan continues to confuse and arouse everyone foolish enough to engage and Korea Advisors shines a light on our beef with Korail and our own lack of logistical foresight. Turn it up and get the latest from our mission/elaborate troll.

Pyeongchang Ep 3: Opening Ceremony Special Edition

Pyeongchang Ep 3: Opening Ceremony Special Edition

It's Day 1 of competition here in Korea but we need to talk about the Opening Ceremony. Wow. And not 'wow' like 'what a spectacle'. More like 'wow, this thing is horrible. There's a dance about Korean IT'. We go through the uniforms, the speeches, and overacting children in our dissection. We then unleash our new segment Korea Advisors, about our experiences in this bizarre country. We round things out with Donut Spotlight, which focuses on a country denied gold due to corruption. Katch up on all things Korea Winter Olympics now with Episode 3.

Pyeongchang Ep 2: 1 Day to Go

We've landed in the right Korea and have foregone sleep to bring you Episode 2 of Medallica: Minnows Vs The World: Kul-de-sac to Korea from our hotel room. The Opening Ceremony is stupidly close and a few people are being left off the guest list. We are also dangerously close to locking down an interview with one of our feature athletes. A brand new segment enters the fold as we say goodbye to a fan favourite (stop being so efficient, Korea). Get your listening gear around it.

Unlike Rio where we observed from afar, this time we're on the ground in Korea, reporting nothing but eyewitness 24k magic. In Ep 1 we cover off the athletes we'll be following at these Olympics, as well as teasers for some of our segments this time around. As always, the perfect bite-sized sub-30 minute Ep size to squeeze into your commute, coffee run or end of work procrastination fest.
