Mad DogsEpisode 84: The Mad Monk, Tony Abbott!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.

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 rang...2023-12-121h 01Mad DogsEpisode 75: Calcio Storico- Historic FootballThis 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.Here's the Grouse House TV linkhttps://youtu.be/YQi9TBwiUuk?si=7wqFhurQTxqgGCOyShare...2023-12-0556 minMad DogsEpisode 74: Mad Dog ChatfestThis week Woody and Micko's intro gets a bit out of hand as its been a big week for this pair of mad dogs.

And this week's Mad Dog is one of the very best. Even more impressive, among numerous appalling character traits he's managed to display some serious racism despite having pilfered most of his music straight from African Americans.Eric Clapton, what a prick.Share, like & 5 star review us2023-11-2154 minMad DogsEpisode 72: Rob Halford from Judas Priest!In a world where leather and screams collide, there's none other than the Metal God himself, Rob Halford. This heavy metal maestro didn't just break the sound barrier; he shattered stereotypes too! With a vocal range that makes banshees jealous and a fashion sense that puts even the boldest runway models to shame if they were into denim and leather, Halford is the unapologetically gay pioneer of the metal realm. He didn't just come out of the closet; he kicked down the door with leather boots then rode his Harley through.

Usually, they find out very quickly that they are wrong. Some take a little longer, but the result is inevitably the same. This week Micko and Woody traverse the world of idiots who get too close to animals in the wild. Most find out that the animals couldn't give less of a fuck how well intentioned you are. Then of course there is always the collateral damage, those unfortunate souls who succumb to the charm and charisma of a lunatic who thinks patting grizzlies is a good idea.2023-09-2650 minMad DogsEpisode 66: Magpies!Spring has sprung in the great southern lands of Australia, we have an upcoming referendum which has bought out all sorts of lunatics of the human kind but the season also brings out certain critters that Australia is best known for like snakes and spiders.Although those animals are fierce and scary this episode is about that spring demon of the sky, the Australian Magpie!Being dive bombed by a magpie is almost a rite of passage in Australia, but it's also something many of us would prefer to avoid.

(Mainly Micko)Micko & Woody are a bit all of the above, a couple of mad dog dads so they’ve received plenty of socks & undies over the years and undies are always much needed by these 2.The boys bring in the Xmas cheer and the season to be jolly and chat all things that have gone wrong in this #ucked up festive time…Share, like & 5 star review usMad...2022-12-2354 minMad DogsEpisode 30: Conspiracy Theorists!Ultimate Mad Dogs. Conspiracy theorists are really good to laugh at, which is what Micko and Woody do for this entire episode.These quirky individuals have been so egregiously harmed by forces beyond their control (and one thing they hate is not being in control) that in recent times they've clogged up our social media feeds with their Year 10 Certificates, confirmation bias and weed-addled brains, galvanising their paranoia and societal resentment to destroy logic at every turn.Granted, 95% of us might be wrong, and when it comes to science we all have to eventually pick a side.

(Sports)The definition of Cheating- to act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage.Everyone needs a leg up every now and then but some mad dogs take it to the next extreme level. Whether it's drugs, lying or pretending something you most are definately not, the world of sport has certainly had them all and then some.This week we touch on sports cheats who have got away with an onfield crime but then been caught red handed.There’s a long history of athletes who have swindled the rules. The exa...2022-12-0646 minMad DogsEpisode 28: Public Rooting!Streakers, shitters and race goers set the bar pretty high, or low, depending on your view of mad dogs, but public rooting brings a whole new kind of brazen attention-seeking to the lunatic table.Getting amorous in public was once the understandable and necessary domain of horny teenagers, yet has always remained a viable option for plenty of mad dogs too.Listen up this week as Micko and Woody discuss the oft-regretted act of public rooting.Share, like & 5 star review usMad Dog Linkshttps://mickmeredith.bandcamp.com/2022-11-3053 minMad DogsEpisode 27: Bill Hicks!Legendary stand up man, Bill Hicks is our Mad Dog this week, he was one of the most intellectual, and influential comedians of the past 30 years. Although mainly recognized as a comedian, Bill was also a modern-day philosopher, social commentator and all round #hit stirrer. At the age of 16, while still in high school, Hicks began performing in Houston.During the 1980s, he toured the U.S. extensively and made a number of high-profile television appearances, but it was in the UK that he amassed a significant fan base, filling large venues during his 1991 tour.As...2022-11-2259 minMad DogsEpisode 26: Poo Jogging!That running causes many a mad dog enthusiast to soil themselves or worse, complete acts of public defecation provides reason enough to have the silly hobby either declared a mental illness or outlawed. Yet, alas no, many persist. And the result is ‘poo jogging’.In this week’s episode Micko and Woody investigate public shithousery and those compelled to perform their daily ablutions anywhere other than where they should.Share, like & 5 star review usMad Dog Linkshttps://mickmeredith.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/maddogspodcast/https...2022-11-1543 minMad DogsEpisode 25: Streakers!This one was inspired by fellow podcasters and comedians GOOD BANTER.As sports fans sometimes the state of play gets a bit boring and things need livening up, there is no better way to fix a dull match then a bit of light hearted, drunken nudity. Streaking is the act of running naked, through a public area for publicity, as a prank, a dare, a bet or even a form of protest. Streaking is often associated with huge sporting events. Streakers are often pursued by sporting officials or the police and sometimes perved on by dirty ol...2022-11-0856 minMad DogsEpisode 24: Mad dogs & Lunatics of The Melbourne Cup!They call it the race that stops a nation, the horse race called the Melbourne Cup has created champions of sport but also inebriated champs of drunkeness.This week we talk jockeys, trainers, horses and of course pissed bogans that have absolutely disgraced themselves.Sir John Kerrhttps://fb.watch/gxhWKwy9xh/Micko's famous son that wont give the boys a leg uphttps://www.youtube.com/c/FroggerOWShare, like & 5 star review usMad Dog Linkshttps://mickmeredith.bandcamp.com/...2022-11-0156 minMad DogsEpisode 23: Pests and imposters!'A man's gotta know his limitations.' So said Clint Eastwood in his 1973 movie Magnum Force. It's a pity men, and even some women don't adhere to this bit of wisdom. Mind you if they did, some of the more entertaining and monumental f*ck ups in history would not have eventuated and today's Mad Dog would have remained an unknown petty criminal from South Africa.This week Micko and Woody cast their critical eyes over imposters, frauds, pests and con artists.Share, like & 5 star review usMad Dog Links2022-10-2550 minMad DogsEpisode 22: Rodrigo Duterte/ Former Phillipines President?This week on Mad Dogs we crash tackle our first politician, amazingly its taken us 21 weeks to find out a pollie could be a certified mad dog.This fella is as mad as a bulat sanga.Rodrigo was the el presidente' of The Philippines, a self confessed judge, jury and executioner.He created death squads to keep his countries bad seeds in place and even #issed off a few fellow foreign politicians and on top of all that gave the finger to a super power whilst riding a jet ski.Share, like & 5 star...2022-10-1852 minMad DogsEpisode 21: A Questionable Hero!Some Mad Dogs display courage only when a reward is on offer. No matter the questionable picture that history paints of the French and their adversity to braveness, today's Mad Dog was both French and courageous, if not a tad conniving. Sometimes Mad Dogs appear in the most unlikely of situations and this week Micko and Woody bumble their way through plenty of them.Share, like & 5 star review usMad Dog Linkshttps://mickmeredith.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/maddogspodcast/https://www.instagram.com/mickomeredithht...2022-10-1154 minMad DogsEpisode 20: Jenna Jameson / Former Queen of Porn!How does a budding young ballerina from Las Vegas do a sharp u-turn and become a porn star?Well this weeks Mad Dog culprit Jenna Jameson did just that and even ascended to the the throne to become the Queen of porn (not sure she was related to Lizzie and the rest of the Windsors though).Jenna came from humble beginnings and quickly became a sex superstar: one the world had never seen before.This saucy sex bomb made her own rules, changed the adult film industry and made an absolute motza during her reign....2022-10-0349 minMad DogsEpisode 19: KISS PT 2- Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley!!When it comes to gigantic mad dog ego's they don't come much bigger than Paul Stanley and even more so Gene $immons.Although to their credit they've lasted 50ish years in the flamboyant cock-rock world prancing and pouting on stage in that over the top way that KISS can only do.Not many humans have not heard of KISS or their two co-founders Paul & Gene but not for all the right rock n roll reasons.Although now in their 70's they still drag themselves up onstage for never ending farewell world tours all for the love...2022-09-2640 minMad DogsEpisode 18: Maurice Wilson/ Lunatic Adventurer!Maurice Wilson was a Pommie war hero turned lunatic adventurer which involved flying a biplane that he drove like a drunken lost taxi driver.After his war heroics big Moz was in search of something and like most 20 something shellshocked blokes his plan was not that well thought out.He craved attention from the English elite and he thought the best way to do that was to become famous. So he decided to climb Mount Everest but not from the bottom up, he was going to fly his plane into the side of it, survive and then...2022-09-2032 minMad DogsEpisode 17: Cynthia Plaster Caster!When all else fails, start creating moulds of the dicks of rockstars. This was the philosophical approach to life of Cynthia Plaster Caster, one of the greatest rock n' roll groupies of all time, a woman who ultimately became as famous as some of the men whose sleuth's she moulded. Cynthia created a niche market within the world of groupies and put some seriously high profile notches on her bedhead in the process. These included the great Jimi Hendrix who doubled as the first celebrity to have his tonsil tickler casted.Living to a ripe old age, like...2022-09-1352 minMad DogsEpisode 16: Joachim Rudolph/Digging Under the Berlin WallSince middle class Micko is still overseas spending his kids inheritance we thought we'd do a place he's about to visit and dig up a new MD legend.He's off to Berlin but don't worry it's not that bloke, it's a completely different Mad Dog altogether and unknown to most.We set the scene in East Germany, it’s hard to imagine the balls it took to flee this joint back in the communist days – a brutal dictatorship that divided Berlin by bricks, barbed wire and bloody flame throwers for decades.It’s even harder to imagine why an...2022-09-0641 minMad DogsEpisode 15: KISS - Ace Frehley!The self-proclaimed 'Hottest Band in the World' KISS are a bunch of Mad Dogs. As a rule only weirdos ever liked the makeup-wearing glam rockers which explains why Micko and Woody have been life long fans.Arguably, the maddest dog in the band was The Spaceman Ace Frehley. When not crashing cars, destroying motel rooms or cackling like a maniac the lead-guitarist was renowned for KISSing a bandmates tonsil tickler.Perhaps the most musically talented member of the band Ace Frehley spent a lot of time doing what rock stars do and somehow lived to tell his...2022-08-3034 minMad DogsEpisode 14: Surviving a Lifelong Bender with Shane Macgowan & the Pogues!When this week's podcast subject’s Irish eyes are smiling most people would prefer he didnt use his mangled teeth. Thankfully Shane MacGowan and his band The Pogues are not known for flashing their pearly whites but they did revive traditional Irish music as well as pouring in a dirty dose of sweaty punk rock.Old Shane has rarely been sober, rarely been well behaved but he’s always been a bit controversial with his band not far stumbling behind him.He wore his shamrock shaped heart on his sleeve as he rambled, dribbled and stumbled across the...2022-08-2349 minMad DogsEpisode 13: John and Lorena Bobbitt!A couple of certifiable Mad Dogs this week as the woman who took a knife to her husband's old fella and the man who had it coming take centre stage.

Well, he doesn't hold a candle to the fella Woody has uncovered for this week's episode.Christened Jesus Christ Allin, the man who went on to be known as GG was an American punk rocker renowned more for his for his vile onstage antics than for his sub-par music.But in the realm of Mad Dogs, Allin has them all covered.
