Think Stuff Podcast

Of Good Endings and Bad Podcasting

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 18:27:00 +0000

The Groundhog Day of podcast episodes, cock fights, "The Theorists", Amnesia sequel, stupid world records, Warcraft 3 as a literature graduate, Greek graduates, Will and Kate Barbie dolls, false bonds, the price of Whitney Houston records, CJ's underwear, Vevo are shit.

Of Deep Fried Ears and Everything Else

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:55:00 +0000

We're not really sure what happened on this episode.

Sorry :)

Of Hobbits and Transsexuals

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:54:00 +0000

This week we cover up for CJ's failings in the previous episode. That takes up most of the show. However, we also talk about perverted children, Lord of the Rings Lego, sudden outbreaks of swearing as a medical condition, outlawing sugar and legalising heroin, sex changes, drilling through ice for 20 years (just for the fun of it), our ignorance regarding the population of the world, & the casting call for extras in The Hobbit.

Of Arrows to the Eye and Politicians on Drugs

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:07:00 +0000

This week we go all out to bring you cutting edge news, mostly revolving around dull memes and newspapers that write things we don't really understand. We also talk rubbish about Lord of the Rings without Golem, Monarch Battles™, Minecraft without Lego,and warm fuzzy feelings.

Of Nail Varnish and Horoscopes

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:16:00 +0000

This week we try out a new format, to make the podcast a little faster paced. To that extent, episodes from here on out will be shorter than usual, but hopefully punchier. The content however, remains as useless and mundane as ever. For example... a footballer's wife brushed her hair out of her face somewhere, the sun exploded (although had no real effect on the planet at all), a little obligatory SOPA ranting, stupid patents (cue BUSINESS SHARKS), and finally Mel Gibson and his interchangeable alter-ego, Bruce Willis.

Oh and CJ screws up the plugs at the end of the episode again.

Of Great Leader and Roadkill

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:06:00 +0000

Post-series depression, North Korea and the legendary Great Leader lineage, using humans as shields, animals mourning instead of hibernating, extraditing people for the hell of it, some more SOPA ranting. No mention of PETA.

Of Pirating Films and Gerard Butler Doppelgangers

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 23:02:00 +0000

More complaining about moving house, and some stuff about piracy and stealing films and not stealing films and not stealing games and things that aren't piracy. The most-downloaded films on Bitorrent, Agent Nick Fury is Samuel L Jackson, Gerard Butler is not in Thor, Zyzzyx road, moral slash scientific slash philosophical discussion, Pope, and The Think Stuff Calendar.

Also to anyone who cares, Jonathan Ross wasn't sacked by the BBC, he was taken off the air, made to publicly apologise and then stifled into nothingess for while until he left optionally. There's a big difference, honestly.

Of Christmas and Eating Lead

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:40:00 +0000

Our first live show in a while - we talk about eating curry for Christmas dinner, astronauts celebrating Christmas in space, decorating your own shoes, telling children about Santa visiting them in the night, sabre-toothed 8 legged horses, patron saint of broadcasters (thanks, St. Nick), the Grinch trying to poison everyone at Christmas, eating lead, lego. That's right. Lego.

Extra music in this week's episode is by Jonathon Coulton, at jonathoncoulton.com

Of Gay Bars and Golden Globes

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 00:43:00 +0000

Transformers, dying authors, gay bars, how the pyramids were built by aliens, George Clooney winning all of the awards, Studio Giblets, Sean Bean vs. Daniel Radcliffe, and more plugging the live show!

Of Cannonballs and Cantaloupes

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 22:35:00 +0000

Apologies for the initial poor audio quality in this episode, it returns to normal after about 15 minutes.

We talk about the military in films, CSI as science fiction, the inflation of comic books, the Geneva convention in video games, Siri's views on abortion, fan-boys of every breed, and finally, Mythbusters. Oh, and pervy clerics.

Of Relocating and Famous Peters

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:15:00 +0000

This week we discuss our relocations (it's a little bit weird that we're both moving house at the same time, however it is a coincidence and has nothing to do with the bounty on our heads), Christmas markets, driving into people, being allergic to Twilight, Metallica fans, the lack of famous Peters, the lack of sensible PETAs, evil Mario, various Gods' addiction to Chinese food, and CJ's apparent withdrawal.

Of Expensive Burgers and Living in Utah

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:35:00 +0000

Mycoprotein on bread, genocide, giving smart-phones to tribes, & the background of the Mormon religion.

Great.

Of Trading Lollipops and Seth Efrica

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:41:00 +0000

Welcome to a yet longer episode of Think Stuff Podcast. We talk about Skyrim, lightbulbs, exploiting those with little concept of the value of a lollipop. The ultimate test of any actor, Bruce Willis and a pick-up truck, and Patsy Kensit not being Seth Efrican. Thanks for listening, apologies for listening.

Of Space Monkeys and Naked Russians

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:43:00 +0000

Welcome to our longest episode thus far. Space technology! Writing things down in supermarkets! Old people! Snakes in cash machines! Drunken people and expensive sandwiches!

Of Superheroes and Dark Towers

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 11:16:00 +0000

Join us on a roller coaster of fun this week as we cause accidental offence to most of Asia, and women. Sorry.

Also we detail our Halloween give away of 2 games on Steam! Email us at email@thinkstuffpodcast.com with your best Halloween photo or story to be in with a chance to win.

Of Fascist Goats and Pregnant Prostitutes

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 13:38:00 +0000

During this week's show we consider the beard Olympics, new birds that are angry, and the art of curb crawling. We also tie up the stale news regarding the german greek wooden horse from last week, and wonder why on earth anyone would want a wooden horse anyway.

The political leanings of animals, the desire to mummify oneself and the lameness of Lady Gaga. Information overload.

Of Ice Cream Terrorists and Breaking Your Own Nose

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:37:00 +0000

This week our live stream failed partway through. But we handled it professionally, and CJ carried on talking, entirely oblivious. Thank god for small mercies /sarcasm.

The world's terrorists and their love of ice cream
Occupy the world.
Tom Morello in a fist fight with Ghandi.

What more could you possibly want?

Of Poor Robots and Trolling Christians

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 00:58:00 +0000

We discuss how all products are built by robots in underground sweatshops, and how religion is the new way to troll people right onto Judge Judy.

Of Peppers and Cookie Spray

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 20:16:00 +0000

This week we are plagued by technical difficulties (which is also an excellent song by Racer X, I'd check that out rather than listen to this episode). We talk about Google, Facebook, court, and other such calamities!

The video which we reference in regards to the wall street protests can be found at http://tinyurl.com/maceupyourface

Of Immortal Actors and (Nicholas) Cage Fighting

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 17:22:00 +0000

CJ and myself are both very tired and hungover in this episode, having just arrived back in the UK after the Think Stuff annual convention in Las Vegas. Thanks to the many thousands of fans who came to party hard with us. Conversely, apologies to the listeners of this episode.

Of Angry Birds and Spongebob

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 17:07:00 +0000

A man in Greece lit himself on fire because he heard this episode wouldn't be released. Don't worry, man in Greece- here it is! Good luck on the burns ward. Glowing cats that might as well replace traffic lights. Angry Birds that are angry! Nothing about Apple. Spongebob. End.

Of Uber Television and Being Mad, Bro!

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:57:00 +0000

Star Trek, amazing televisions, awful televisions, electricity! What more could you want? How about putting them all in a podcast? Ok!

Of Putinism and Old Women's Internet

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 18:25:00 +0000

This week we talk about why we think we shouldn't discuss Libya, and then proceed to discuss Libya. We also talk about Putin as a religion, internet piracy as a bypass of the criminal justice system and old women with the best internet on the planet.

Of Terms and Conditions

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 17:06:00 +0000

Apple! Microsoft! Windows 8! Hurricanes! Blu-ray! Tablets! Playstation! Xbox! This week we butcher a wealth of topics in one fell sweep. Enjoy.

We couldn't include the YouTube link that CJ mentioned because he lost it. His funeral is later this week, all are welcome to attend.

Of Armadillo Astronauts and Cornflakes

noreply@blogger.com (Tim William Schofield) — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 18:14:00 +0000

We discuss the least important stuff that's happened around the world this week, including Will Smith rapping his way back into our hearts, Putin action manning his way out of them, and the importance of cereal brands having pages on Facebook.
