Jade and Piff have recorded too many podcasts in too little time so enjoy this creatively bankrupt 40ish minutes. (Although there's one pretty good bit with Motern Matt.) Or better yet, skip this week and they'll be back on form in a few days.

The man with over 20,000 recorded songs, Matt Farley, finally meets up with Piff, Jade, and Matt Donnelly on the road after his epic contribution to the #VotePiff campaign on Penn's Sunday School. Vietnamese noodles, teeth tattoos, and poop. Lots and lots of poop.

This week Piff addresses the future of the podcast, we get far too intimate with Jade, Piff gets stalked, Jade trash talks Raven, Piff gets a box of his favourite cigars from a fan and Piff talks about his retirement plans. Matt Donnelly is in the room for all of this.

Yes, I know. Last week was episode 95. Now it's episode 93. Well, after many complaints Piff got the banned episode re-edited and it can now be released without the threat of legal action. So, here's Dane, the tour manager of the never ending #PiffTour talking with Piff about dying on a cruise ship, working with Amazing Jonathan and the last time Piff saw Bill Cosby.

In the first of a new series Piff goes one on one with a famous celebrity! First up is the famous writer, performer and fanny pack wearer, Chad Damiani. What do you mean you've never heard of him? Ok, he's not quite a celebrity yet, but that's about to change as Piff and Chad discuss how to keep the balls rolling, slaying the overlords of the theatre industry, crushing the network television game and reveal their plans for Piff on Broadway.

After Piff redacts Ep 93, we are back with Francis, Jade and Matt to discuss the latest happenings and avoid another trashing.

Piff and Jade get a nasty shock when a kid tosses Mr Piffles into the crowd, Shania Twain invites them for dinner and Piff loses a dear friend. Basically another uneventful week at the Piff show.

Lee Kernis, manager to the stars (and Piff the Magic Dragon) joins us in Las Vegas to give out some good ol' show business savvy and tell us about his past in hot dogs. Shania Twain comes to the show and Howard Stern mentions Piff on his show. So it's been a pretty good week.

Francis has some big news, Piff and Jade attend Johnny’s celebration of life and Piff apologises. Yes. Actually apologises.

This week, Donny Osmond visits the Piff show, Piff’s mum thinks she knows how David Copperfield’s magic tricks work, Piff discusses his loathing of bare feet, and the audience gives Piff some material. At last.

It's STORIES FROM THE ROAD week. So many stories. So many roads. Just one week.

Piff, Jade and Francis try to ignore the elephant in the room.

We talked about some other things but Johnny's dead and that's all that matters.

Piff, Jade and Francis attempt to record a podcast after minimal sleep and two school shows. Yep. School shows. Who's idea was this? Piff's apparently. Good luck making sense of all this. Normal service will be resumed shortly...

The Other Brothers are back to tell Piff all about what he missed in Blackpool, Piff and Jade tell some Las Vegas war stories and Piff writes his first obituary.

Johnny Kats, Las Vegas Review Journal's very own Man About Town  joins Piff, Jade and Francis to discuss Columbus, Ohio, the failings of American Airlines and his many fond memories of Piff the Magic Dragon. Including that one time Piff shaved all Johnny's hair off for money. 

First up. My podcast stuff broke. So I had to record it on an iPhone. But I was in a hotel room, so it doesn't sound too bad. Just don't whinge ok? I've had a very trying week. As you're about to discover. Listen to all the things that went wrong as Piff discusses working on a Secret UK Project with his friend and UK manager Anthony Owen. 

It's a catch up lesson for new #PiffPack members this week as Piff the Inspirational Dragon meets Jon Taffer and talks about his start as a magic dragon and the many perils along the way. Let's just say this is Piff's audition for a Ted Talk.

We're back in Las Vegas this week and discuss the trials and tribulations of being a magic dragon in New Zealand. Also, we talk behind the scenes of the Champions edition of America's Got Talent.

Piff and Jade discuss their new trick with Tiffany from The Miss Behave Game Show. Proceed with Caution. Also, New Zealand.

This week on the Piff Pod Jade and I are in Fiji, and I kept a list of what we talked about. 

• New Year’s Eve
• 5c poker
• Fiji water girl
• AGT appearance on Monday
• Smoothie Bar
• Movies
• Dragon Flu
• Lenny Bruce and Mrs Maisal
• Paying my respects to David Berglas

Does that help?

Honestly, I can't remember what we talked about because I had dragon flu. But we were in DC. And doing a show. And some other things happened. Also, I have no idea how all these different iTunes things work. So someone who knows about podcasts should probably email jade@piffthemagicdragon.com and tell her how these podcasts work and the best way to upload them and all that stuff. Also, I should definitely start writing this bit immediately after we record the podcast then save it as a draft. That way I'll remember what we talked about on the podcast rather than trying to write it a week later like I'm doing now when I've forgotten what we yapped on.

Piff, Jade and Francis are in Reno. Piff is sick. Jade is sick. Of Francis. Lots to discuss this week including Piff's trip to David Copperfield's museum, and the approaching challenge of America's Got Talent: The Champions.

Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox Software, part time magician and great great great great probably great nephew of Cardini returns to the podcast to discuss his start in video games, quality control, gimmicked coins and the side quests to obtain them.

It's Piff, Jade and the Caparulos! Discussing all things Las Vegas and Hermosa, Piff and Jade talk to John and Jamie Caparulo about their show in Las Vegas at Harrahs, moving to six nights a week, living in the desert and the end of dogs. 

Piff, Jade and Mr Piffles are working on a new trick with shots, but as Dragons don't drink, they need some help. So they meet up with RJ and Matt Donnely for a spot of taste testing. Whilst there they discuss the theft of Mr Piffles' identity, more Ricky Jay commiserating and the bathroom habits of the UK vs US.

Fresh from a hectic couple of weeks of touring, working on a secret project with Penn & Teller, writing a broadway show and various other complications, Piff is whining about running a business, Jade shares some travel tips and Francis refuses to transcend his material. Also, Piff mourns the loss of Ricky Jay, and meets his Godson on tour.

This week Piff runs out of time to record the podcast. But luckily he's in Orlando and has such a good time on the Tom & Dan show he steals all their work and uploads it as his own. Listen to this show to find out why Tom & Dan are so great, then go here to hear more: https://tomanddan.com

Piff, Jade and Matt Donnely aka Hill Bill are in Seattle to discuss coffee and other things that Piff has totally forgotten about.

Piff, Jade and Francis return from tour to a heap of listener mail and discuss the future of the podcast. Plus skunk. Brought to you in sweet sweet equalized, normalized and professionally mixed sound, recorded on three microphones so you can all finally stop whining about the quality.

Francis returns from a cornfield in Nebraska to plug a whole range of products with Piff and Jade, none of which they are making any sweet cash from sadly. Also, they discuss the future of the podcast. Send your suggestions to jade@piffthemagicdragon.com

It's our last episode from Edinburgh! Boooooo. This time we have Nick Mohammed, or, as he is otherwise known, Mr. Swallow, talking about auditioning for The Magic Circle, and his incredible Edinburgh show Vanishing the Elephant. Also, Richard Wiseman pops up.
