Trends in Low Places 1

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.

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?

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. 

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
