Episode 635: Obama in the bath

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 06:00:00 +1100

This week we're doing a week of specials - including old episodes. You've got to hear this one. Seriously.

Historical show notes:

Episode 9: The Nasty Pastie Edition

Today's episode was the episode in which we discovered that it's generally not a good idea to cross Lorin. We also discussed the possibility of merch thanks to a strange message left for us on our company voicemail. Expressions of interest welcome on the issue of merch but let's not count our chickens.

And by the way Stew alienated the entire motorbiking community.

Then there's the bit where Stew plays the audio of Lorin not making any sense. It works out really well for him.

Thanks to our sponsor this week, the wonderful Lance Rock publicity.

Our technical producer is Stewart Thorn.

See you tomorrow with guest number two...

Episode 633: Dudley Moore and Lorin share a bath

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 06:00:00 +1100

This week we're doing a week of specials - including old episodes. You've got to hear this one. Seriously.

Historic show notes: 89: Friendships, patience, and young people
Friday exists!

Thanks to everybody, especially Anna, for this week, and thanks also to our sponsor for this week, The Flying Calamari Brothers.

Episode 632: Mooncast Monday

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 08:00:00 +1100

This week we're doing a week of specials - including old episodes. You've got to hear this one. Seriously.

Historical show notes:

Episode 59: Stew’s actual boat actually sank.

Stew owns a share in a boat. Things have not ended well.

Who steals a frangipani?

There’s also a ridiculous conversation about dishwasher steam and, well, farting. Not one of our more intellectual...

Also MASSIVE thanks to the Raccoon Club: http://www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/nightlife/directory/bar/raccoon-club-profile

Episode 625: Take down the sign

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 07:30:00 +1000

Today's podcast involves us speaking about fashion, an almost entirely ludicrous sentence with or without context. It also involves a discussion of facial piercings, gambling, really bad fetes, and why Stew smells of hundreds of steaks. Also Party of Five was a really good show and Desperately Seeking Susan was awesome. Although I'm not into gambling, as demonstrated in today's podcast, it's a safe bet that Stew never reads the show notes.

Original Show notes:

Episode 17: What's on that mattress?

Today we discussed haircuts, movies and sitting down.

Apparently a hair surgeon isn't what we thought it was.

The name of the movie the excellent Mel Campbell sat through was Exodus: Gods and Kings. It didn't star Webster.

The Prime Minister's Smugenfreude festival last night resulted in a win for Richard Flanagan and the Indigenous Literary Foundation. Bob Graham, who writes beautiful kids' books, donated a big chunk of his fee to the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre.

It's bin night in Castlemaine. Recycleds by mid morning Wednesday at a pinch.

Riding your bike drunk can land you in prison and a fair bit poorer. Also: it can make you very dead. So we absolutely don’t recommend it. http://www.smh.com.au/national/dont-get-on-your-bikes-drunks-warned-20081115-67pb.html

Yes, it’s the end of the little perky ones in the morning.

Episode 22: 22: One Thing We Do Know for Certain

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 09:07:48 +1100

Today we talked briefly about the way the mainstream media and social media covered what’s now being called “the Sydney siege”. There are now whole articles about the extent of the various rumours circulating yesterday.

Also liked a tweet from someone called Dobes that marvelled at the fact that Twitter had managed to accumulate so many experts on sieges.

There was a fascinating flurry of excitement late last night after people on Twitter offered to support people who were nervous about travelling on public transport and they devised the illridewithyou hashtag, which had the interesting result that everything was positive and constructive for about five minutes before people started criticising it for being narcissistic and making a hostage situation all about how great Twitter was.

There was also the question of the flag displayed in the window of the cafe, described almost universally in the early stages as an "islamic" flag. Like a Christian flag. As people on Twitter pretty swiftly pointed out, that's called Arabic.

American gun lobbyists are getting on board with their opinions about gun control as well.

What we do know for certain is that media hysteria is alive and well.

Today’s guest is the excellent Kaz Cooke, who was talking about brooches.

We also talked about VCE results and a kitchen chair that’s floating in space.

Stupidly Bins:

Tuesday - Viewbank, parts of Northcote & Reservoir

Mega thanks to Ceres organic market and shop, this week's amazing sponsors. They're open 7 days. Orright.

Episode 21: 21: The Busiest Time of the Year For The Man In Red

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 09:43:02 +1100

Today we discussed camping (Stew's doing it wrong).

We talked about our party (not a single fight!) and Stew gave us a titbit that references a film called Windrider.

What does Santa do the other 11 months of the year? We speculate.

No Stupidly Bins on Mondays apparently. By the way there have been some questions asked about the accuracy of various bin nights and it turns out that some parts of one suburb can differ from another. Here's the deal: this is a request service. We will remind you if you request a reminder. So if something's wrong, tell us! And yes, we can remind you of anything at all. Let us know.

THANK YOU to CERES market and organic grocery who are this week's sponsor. Open 7 days a week, with live, local musiciansplaying every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Specialising in Organic, local fresh produce, bullk foods and non toxic cleaning products.

They're organic, they're ethical, and they don't make you buy stuff you don't need.

Episode 20: 20: The Worst Podcast We'll Ever Do

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 12:08:03 +1100

Stupidly Small : 20: The Worst Podcast We'll Ever Do

Today, we had a launch party, to launch the Stupidly Big media empire. People turned up. Lots of people. We love those people. We also love the people who listen to the Stupidly Small podcast and today we have to make an apology. This is definitely the worst podcast we've ever done. It's the worst podcast we'll ever do.

Some of the lowlights are: the bit where Stew apologises for reading a note on his phone. The bit where Lorin starts a story and it doesn't go anywhere. The bit where the sound drops out and we talk about it for ages. A strange religious interlude that Stew made up that doesn't mean anything.

We didn't even get Stupidly Bins right.

It's bin night tonight in Reservoir. It's bin night on Sunday in Northcote and Panton Hill.

Thank you so much to everybody for this first month, and a few thanks for getting things off the ground today to:

The Lapser, Danielle, Stig, Mopsy, Mel Carr from Carrs Label Printing for the stickers, Milky Milo for turning up this morning with a hundred dim sims and then steaming them for us in the kitchen, the wonderful Ross (for sending us a drink card in the mail!) and huge thanks to Corinne Theodore for our new logos. We can't really believe our luck.

And Pat and Mark from The Workers Club, who truly did go far and beyond the limits of reasonable human kindness today.

Our sponsors this week were the excellent Electric Body. Remember: you can still enter the words STUPIDLY SMALL in the coupon code box and get a 10% discount.

And if you're ever in Carlton and you need a coffee, pop into Brunetti Carlton. They showed up today with plates of beautiful food for us all, purely because they support stupidly big launch parties, and we love them.

Episode 19: 19: Talk to the Hand

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 09:05:46 +1100

Yesterday, Lorin saw Stew in the park and didn't tell him. When is it okay to give the thousand yard stare? We really don't clarify anything in this bit, except maybe that you shouldn't say hi to anybody on a bike.

The proper way to ignore someone.

You don't have to tip but Stew suggests you do.

Tonight is bin night in: North Fitzroy, Carlton, Heathmont. Got another one? Let us know.

Huge thanks to our sponsor this week: Electric Body. Food for your skin! Enter Stupidly Small in the coupon box for a 10% discount.

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 09:17:02 +1100

Today: the important question of whether bloopers and stunts are lame or incredible.

Des Bishop was the comedian we mentioned. Here he is talking about China.

Margaret and David said farewell last night. The tributes are flowing.

No bin night reminders today.

Huge thanks to our sponsor this week, Electric Body. Food for your skin.

And don't forget, this Friday 12 December is the Stupidly Big launch party at the Workers Club in Fitzroy. Doors open at 7am. Podcast recording at 7:45am. Stumps around 8:30am. Totally free of charge of course and RSVPs will help us with catering. If you want to rock up on the day, feel free.

Episode 17: 17: What's On That Mattress?

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 09:29:14 +1100

Today we discussed haircuts, movies and sitting down.

Apparently a hair surgeon isn't what we thought it was.

The name of the movie the excellent Mel Campbell sat through was Exodus: Gods and Kings. It didn't star Webster.

It's bin night in Castlemaine. Recycleds by mid morning Wednesday at a pinch.

Thanks so much to our sponsor this week is Electric Body. 10% off if you put Stupidly Small in the coupon page this week over at their website.

Episode 16: 16: Not A Swell of Any Kind, Ground Or Otherwise

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 08:57:41 +1100

Michael Leunig’s Jet Ski cartoon contained the following text:

Ode To A Jet-Ski Person

Jet-ski person, selfish fink,
May your silly jet-ski sink,
May you hit a pile of rocks,
Oh Hoonish, summer, coastal pox.

Noisy, smoking, dickhead fool
On your loathsome leisure tool,
Give us all a jolly lark
And sink beside a hungry shark.

Scream as in its fangs you go,
Your last attention-seeking show,
While on the beach we all join in
With ‘Three cheers for the dorsal fin!’

Car share is awesome and seems to be having an impact.

Thanks to Thomas for leaving us a message. You can do so too.

And… you’re invited to out launch party! Friday 12th December 7am - 8:30am. Workers Club. Fitzroy. Contact us to RSVP.

John’s contention is that there is humour pre-Seinfeld.

TED Talk by David Byrne is here.

The Goon Show is essentially surrealism, being Spike Milligan’s response to the war.

Dickens: was he the first television writer? His stage shows were huge.

More on Patroleum V Nasby (possibly not his real name) here.

Artemus Ward here.

Mark Twain here but really his books are the best place to start.

And by the way Stew alienated the entire motorbiking community.

Then there's the bit where Stew plays the audio of Lorin not making any sense. It works out really well for him.

Thanks to our sponsor this week, the wonderful Lance Rock publicity.

Our technical producer is Stewart Thorn.

See you tomorrow with guest number two...

Episode 8: 8: The Back Part Where You'd Have Guts If You Had Guts In Your Back

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 08:53:42 +1100

Welcome to Wednesday.

Smug: try denying it. Especially if you're Bono.

By the way, this podcast comes with a warning: your head is probably going to fall of. Stop reading books!

Thanks to Bhakthi and our mysterious other caller for getting in touch, which they did through our website. Please keep em coming. We greatly enjoy them.

Thanks again to our sponsors for this week, the excellent Lance Rock Publicity.

See you tomorrow.

Episode 7: 7: Top Ten Tuesday

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 08:51:10 +1100

Today we speak to our first ever real life guest, the thoroughly excellent... Kaz Cooke!

Kaz dropped in for a new segment called Do Drop In. We brought the tea. She brought the biscuits. Kaz has been doing a Creative Fellowship at the State Library of Victoria, the fascinating discoveries from which can be seen on her Fellow Flockery blog. Today, she tells us about a hairy brooch. Yes. A brooch made of hair. Check it out here. You can also take a stroll over to the State Library to see the exhibition in person.

Important questions also covered in this episode:

Are The A-Team the Village People of television?

What's better than a Top Ten list? (Spoiler: almost anything).

Can anybody make Stew Farrell's joke funny?

Happy Tuesday everybody and massive thanks again to this week's sponsor Lance Rock Publicity. Legends.

Episode 6: 6: Shopping Trolley to Hell

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Mon, 24 Nov 2014 08:52:36 +1100

Today's episode contains, as do many other great events in Western history, Winston Churchill. Here are the cranes paying tribute (they come in at about 3:50).

Lots of weird ways to be buried.

Apparently it's not good to have a hot shower just before bed so that settles that debate.

Churchill might not have liked the selfie but he probably would have been impressed with the best inventions of 2014 (the body carwash sadly not making the cut, presumably for timing reasons). What a world. Also impressive: telepathic communcation is within reach. Woah.

Lance Rock Publicity are our brand new sponsor this week - welcome to the Stupidly Team and thanks heaps for your support.

See you tomorrow with Kaz Cooke!

Episode 5: 5: The 100% Halal edition

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:38:05 +1100

Welcome to Friday.

So it turns out we don't know enough about "the Halal debate" but here's an article about the animal cruelty aspect. In fact, if you're interested in reading about the politics of meat production, this is interesting.

Stew's golf swing is also interesting.

And because it's Friday, here's a collection of bad kids' jokes.

One last big thanks to our inaugural sponsor, Uni Bicycles.

Have a good one. See you Monday...

Episode 4: 4: Perving For Smart People

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 08:46:38 +1100

Today’s show touches on (heh) a new study that teaches people how to experience synaesthesia.

Here’s a weight watchers message board on the dim sim.

The English language is confusing.

Here’s some bonus English language nerdery.

Happy Thursday!

Episode 3: 3: A Complete Lack of Intellectual Rigour

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 09:03:58 +1100

Happy Wednesday, everybody!

Today’s show's show is a bit, as they say in the classics, loosey goosey. It includes: Susan Boyle’s album party, something called FOOGI which came about because of the long wait for MCC membership, a voicemail from the excellent Thomas Caldwell, and a total lack of intellectual rigour. Intellectual rigour is for next week.

Thanks again to this week’s sponsor, Uni Bicycles, where you can still get a 15% discount on cash transactions if you mention the Stupidly Small podcast.

Avoid white pants and see you tomorrow.

Episode 2: 2: World Politics and Important Food Tips

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 10:30:20 +1100

In today's podcast we mention this article about this article about Australia's Prime Minister in the Washington Post. Here's the cringeworthy moment article and here's a bonus cringe for you. Oof. Make yourself feel better with this (go science).

We also received a voicemail from Emily in Enmore about Eternity. And here's the Kyle Sandilands tag. Thanks to Emily and also to Riles, our voicemail guests for today. You can leave a voicemail over at www.stupidlybig.com/voicemail - these are fun.

And here are the crickets.

And thanks again to the entirely excellent Uni Bicycles for being this week's sponsors. There's a 15% discount over there for cash purchases when you mention the Stupidly Small podcast.

Episode 1: 1: Really Nothing Like Popcorn Chicken

bigandstupid@stupidlybig.com (Stewart Farrell and Lorin Clarke) — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 18:20:45 +1100

The inaugural Stupidly Small podcast contains a Scottish poetry recital, a description of Boston that is both unfair and inaccurate, and several unnecessarily hefty metaphors.

Our poem today is read by the excellent Jenny Niven. The poet is Norman MacCaig. The poem is Basking Shark.
