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.

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.
