Medallica: Minnows vs The World

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. Our resident psychic also tackles her biggest test yet in a make-or-break, four prediction premonition. It's a cracking show so settle in and take stock!

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.

VIVA LOS SOCCEROOS! The boys in green and gold (well, mostly green) will be taking on Los Incas in a literal Do or Die encounter. We go through the news surrounding the boys, the mathematical probabilities and the ridiculous yet true nicknames of the Peruvians. CARN THE MOOYS!

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.

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.

It's do or die time already fam....5 days into the tournament. Beat Denmark, we party like it's 2006. Lose to Denmark, last person out shut the door and turn off the lights. In honour of the pure magnitude of the upcoming clash, we've prepared a bumper show of the segments you know and love, that thoroughly demonstrate our continuing and complete lack of football knowledge. Plug in, get around it.

The weekly (w)rap is here so we're about to drop sick rhymes on you clowns. They include all the big minnow results of the first 85 games of the cup, as well as featured artist Just Putin It Out There. Crackle the Clairvoyant is also dropping red hot fire to make this the most anticipated podcast of 2018

WHAT A WIN BY THE BOYS! A 1-0 result to the Socceroos over the French is the best! To hear more about the handicap that the Frogs faced, give the newest episode of Medallica a listen!

SACRE BLEU-DY HELL! Strap your bits in because it's AUSTRALIA VS FRANCE (in a few days). Doesn't mean we can't give you the BEST DAMN PRE-SHOW you've ever heard right bloody now. It has everything you want: ridiculous player nicknames! Non-existent analysis! Bold predictions that lack any sort of logic!  Your road to getting ratfaced on Saturday while paying attention to something you only have a passing interest in every four years starts right here. Get your listening tackle around it!

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. 

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. Churr!

In one of our better decisions, we opt to bring you this cast ahead of Silly Sunday with Peter Michael. It's chock full of the good stuff, including flag confusion, the world's dumbest jumper and filming people against their will. We also take one of our final looks into the Minnow Medal tally ahead of tonight's Closing Ceremony

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.
