  • GoFundMe Flogs Part 2: Missing Donations, Dodgy Fundraisers & 16.5% Tips S01E33
    2026/11/09

    Where does your GoFundMe donation actually end up? In the hands of someone who needs it, paying off someone's mortgage, or disappearing into the great unknown?

    In Part 2 of Go Flog Me, Flan, Uncle Tim and Craig are back to investigate more questionable fundraisers and the dodgy side of online charity.

    This week:

    • A former radio host's $132,000 fundraiser comes under scrutiny after financial records reveal some interesting spending.

    • An injured mother of ten claims more than $13,000 of her fundraiser money never reached her.

    • GoFundMe itself comes under fire over 1.4 million charity pages created without the charities' consent and reports of a 16.5% default tip.

    • Flan nominates Woolworths for Flog of the Week after accidentally buying soy ice cream, only to discover that Craig and Tim think he's the actual flog.

    Plus, the boys introduce A Question of Scruples, an ethical dilemma game from the '80s that raises more questions about their intelligence than their morals.

    Missing donations, questionable decisions, unsolicited financial advice and three blokes who probably shouldn't be trusted with a charity tin.

    It's Go Flog Me Part 2.

  • Halloween Pranks Gone Wrong: When a Joke Turns Deadly | Flogs Podcast S01E33
    2026/11/02

    It's Halloween, and apparently some people can't tell the difference between a harmless prank and a criminal investigation.

    In this Halloween Special, the Flogs boys look at some seriously questionable Halloween pranks and real-life incidents where a bit of fun went horribly wrong.

    We're talking masked relatives staging a terrifying home invasion, killer clowns chasing unsuspecting students with chainsaws, fake machetes causing panic in a shopping centre, and a TikTok doorbell prank that ended in a teenager's death.

    Plus, a toilet-papering prank that turned into a fatal accident, the infamous 2016 killer clown craze, and a particularly unpleasant neighbour who managed to ruin someone's house purchase with a racist outburst.

    As always, we ask the important questions:

    • When does a prank stop being funny?

    • Should adults leave Halloween mischief to the kids?

    • Are the pranksters the flogs, or are some of the reactions just as bad?

    • And how many points out of 10 does each flog deserve?

    Featuring questionable opinions, dark humour, uncomfortable laughs and our usual Flog of the Week.

    Follow Flogs for more stories about people behaving badly, questionable decisions and the world's finest collection of flogs.

    You can also nominate your own flogs!

  • GoFundMe Flogs: Charity Scams, Fake Cancer & $400K Fraud S01E32
    2026/10/26

    Who needs a helping hand when you can allegedly help yourself to the donations? This week on Flogs, we're looking at crowdfunding scandals, charity fraud and people whose behaviour makes you question humanity.

    First up, the infamous $400,000 GoFundMe scam involving a homeless veteran and a supposedly stranded motorist. Then we head to South Australia for the disturbing case of a mother who fabricated her young son's cancer diagnosis to solicit donations.

    We also discuss allegations surrounding another fundraising campaign for a homeless man before getting into the absolutely filthy HYROX race controversy.

    As always, Flan, Craig Newman and Uncle Tim bring questionable opinions, dark humour and our completely unofficial flogometer to the stories. Who deserves the flog of the week? And is there ever such a thing as a victimless scam?

    Listen, judge for yourself, and let us know who deserves the title of ultimate flog.

  • Marilyn Manson: Fame, Rumours & the Fall (Part 1) S01E28
    2026/09/28

    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
    2026/09/21

    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.
