Flogs Podcast

By Flan, Craig Newman and Uncle Tim Floggins

Flogs, flog‑adjacent behaviour and the ever‑reliable Flogometer. Each week we unpack the world’s finest acts of floggery — from everyday nuisances to headline‑level offenders. Sometimes it’s a deep dive on one colossal flog, sometimes it’s a whole category (cheaters, scammers, you know the type). It’s loose, a bit inappropriate, and always out of control. You can be a flog… just don’t be the biggest flog.

Flan, Uncle Tim and Craig Newman unpack the ethics, the chaos and the contradictions surrounding one of rock’s most controversial figures — with plenty of dark humour and accidental self‑owns along the way.

Marilyn Manson: Fame, Rumours & the Fall (Part 1) S01E28

Marilyn Manson: Fame, Rumours & the Fall (Part 1) S01E28

Flan puts Craig and Uncle Tim through a chaotic guessing game that leads straight into the story of Marilyn Manson — from his strict Christian upbringing to his shock‑rock rise, the rumours that followed him, and the controversies that eventually crushed his career.

This episode covers his early life, Trent Reznor’s influence, the 90s moral panic, the Columbine backlash, his peak wealth, the abuse allegations, lawsuits, and how it all collapsed in 2021.

It’s messy, funny, unhinged, and very Flogs.

The Ghost Who Invented Chiropractic (and the Son Who Ran Him Over) S01E27

The Ghost Who Invented Chiropractic (and the Son Who Ran Him Over) S01E27

Uncle Tim takes the reins and delivers the most unhinged history lesson yet: the invention of chiropractic, featuring DD Palmer, a ghost doctor, a deaf janitor, and BJ Palmer accidentally (or not?) running over his dad.

Flan and Craig try to keep the episode on the rails as we explore spinal manipulation, pseudoscience, chiropractic injuries, subscription‑based back cracking, and whether any of it actually works.

It’s chaotic, stupid, educational, and very Flogs.

From diploma‑mill doctorates to $50k baking‑soda IVs, this episode unpacks how Young fooled thousands, avoided regulators for decades, and eventually landed in prison.

Featuring:

  • Fake qualifications

  • The pH Miracle cult

  • His dodgy “treatment centre”

  • The tragic fallout for vulnerable patients

  • The massive lawsuits and criminal convictions

Follow the show, share it around, and remember: you can be a flog… just don’t be the biggest flog.

Spear Tackles, Seat Fines & The Cat That France Forgot S01E22

Spear Tackles, Seat Fines & The Cat That France Forgot S01E22

A runaway cat, a rogue rugby‑playing transit officer, and Melbourne’s infamous feet‑on‑seat standover racket—this week’s Flogs on a Train 2 goes absolutely off the rails.

We break down the 2013 Flinders Street spear tackle where a 15‑year‑old was slammed head‑first into concrete over a $2.50 fare (“CCTV footage showed the officer lifting the teenager upside down and slamming her head first into the concrete…” ).Then it’s onto the legendary $300 fines for resting your feet on metal seat frames (“Commuters in Melbourne have long battled with ticket inspectors… carrying a three hundred dollars fine…” ).Finally, the tragic Paris Montparnasse incident where Niko the cat was killed after staff refused to delay a TGV (“We saw him sliced in half.” ).

Ethical dilemmas, train dogs, spear tackles, and corporate tone‑deafness—this episode is peak chaos.

Trains, Man Caves & The $15 Billion French Fiasco S01E21

Flan, Craig and Uncle Tim dive into the wildest rail floggery ever recorded — from New York workers building a secret man cave under Grand Central, to France accidentally buying 2,000 trains that didn’t fit in their stations, to Sydney’s absolutely cooked “binocular wire audit” that trapped commuters like a real‑life Hunger Games.

Chaos, incompetence, and flogs galore.

Perfect listening for anyone who’s ever said, “Surely that can’t be true.”

Lisa Jane Spencer & the $50k Racism Fundraiser

This week on Flogs Flan and Craig unpack the meltdown of Lisa Jane Spencer — the Melbourne content creator fired after posting a racist parody video mocking Indigenous people. They go through her Kill Tony set, her claims of being “doxxed,” her GoFundMe haul of over $50k, and her second parody targeting Indian Australians.

Flan also launches a counter‑fundraiser supporting All Together Now, aiming to educate people like Lisa and the supporters cheering her on.

Titanic Flogs Pt 1: Icebergs, Idiots & Lifeboat Fails s01e14

In this episode of Flogs, Flan and Craig take on the Titanic — and somehow make history sound like a badly organised bucks party on water.

We break down the sinking step‑by‑step: the iceberg strike, the botched evacuation, the half‑empty lifeboats, the freezing water, and the SS Californian sitting on its hands. Along the way, Craig derails the story with memories of Kate Winslet, Flan tries to keep the facts straight, and both of them prove they would not survive a maritime emergency.

Part 2 drops next week, where we look at the White Star Line, Captain Smith, and whether the SS Californian’s captain was the biggest flog of them all.
