Let’s Get Dangerous

Episode 29: Spiritual Journeying

Thu, 20 May 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Feeling a little lost? Feel like your life lacks purpose and direction? Just looking for some nice people to have tea and biccies with on a Sunday? The "How deep this conversation got at times" to "How much work Stephen put into preparing a topic" ratio is very heavily skewed to the left hand side on this one. Enjoy.

Episode 28: Skydiving

Sun, 16 May 2021 03:53:27 GMT

It's weird, skydiving has always been one of our go-to examples when we try to explain the idea of this podcast to someone but it somehow took us 28 episodes to get around to discussing it. Life is strange sometimes.

Episode 27: Stuff That Didn't Make It Into Other Episodes PART 3

Thu, 06 May 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Life stuff got in the way of us recording an episode this week and, when life gives us lemons, Stephen digs into the archives and tries to make sweet, comedic lemonade. Podcasts are way better than life because you can usually solve most of your problems with clever editing and liberal use of a low pass filter. Enjoy.

Episode 26 - Bullfighting

Thu, 29 Apr 2021 14:01:00 GMT

In our latest episode, the gang discuss the pros and cons of one of Spain's most controversial pastimes. We also (hopefully) manage to keep the tone pretty light for what is potentially a rather heavy subject.

Episode 25: Pirating

Thu, 22 Apr 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Woo! Another Zoom episode! If you're thinking of downloading this episode illegally then beware, it 's rated arrrrrrrrrrrrr. We recorded this episode right before it was due to drop so my quest to edit it and upload it in time really came down to the (lime)wire. Hoo boy, pirate puns are hard. I think I need a nap(ster). You WinMX some, you lose some. I dunno, something about KaZaa?

Episode 24: Big Wave Surfing

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 14:01:00 GMT

How do you do an episode centred around Point Break when 2/3 of your hosts haven't seen it? With great difficulty, it turns out. Still, it led to some beautiful, absurd tangents as well as Matt dropping an absolute bombshell about his past.

Episode 23: Cannibalism PART 2

Thu, 08 Apr 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Who enjoyed last week's exploration on the pros and (almost entirely) cons of cannibalism? Well we hope you left room for seconds because we're back with part 2! Ever wanted to see 2/3 of your hosts try to bargain for their lives? Us neither, but here we are and we hope you enjoy it.

Episode 22: Cannibalism PART 1

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 14:01:00 GMT

They say you shouldn't go grocery shopping when you're hungry otherwise you'll just end up buying a bunch of food you don't really need. With that in mind, we can't help but wonder what was going through Matt's mind when he decided cannibalism would be our topic. There's so much to unpack here that one episode just wasn't enough so be sure to come back next week for part 2.

Episode 21: Groundhog Day-ing

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 23:01:08 GMT

Remember a few episodes back where Stephen theorised that Wile E. Coyote was caught in some kind of Groundhog-esque time loop? Well he sure as hell does so now we're discussing the pros and cons of being caught in a time loop that only you are aware of. Would you try to better yourself? Live the perfect day? Just run wild without fear of consequence? Most importantly, IS IT DANGEROUS?!?!?

Episode 20: Archaeology

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Matt is back and we're going to discuss his unique vision for sexing up archaeology. Without Vee to referee, this one goes some places.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 19: Dumpster Diving

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Matt is away on tour this week so we caught up with him via Zoom to discuss the pros and cons of living a freegan lifestyle. He had a backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge (which Stephen hilariously called "The Golden State Bridge" and nobody bothered to correct him) that he insisted was real and we just decided it was best to just yes and him.

Episode 18: Stuff That Didn't Make It Into Other Episodes PART 2

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Real life has once again shown us who the boss is and we haven't had time to record an episode. Never fear, our archive of shit talk is here.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 17: Being A Dick For 24 Hours

Thu, 11 Feb 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Vee is away doing adult stuff this week so Matt decides to lead Stephen through possibly his most ambitious topic yet: being an unrepentant, unconditional dick for twenty fours straight. This sounds like some kind of Jim Carrey/Ricky Gervais fever dream, but we hope you enjoy it.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 16: Cabin In The Woods

Thu, 04 Feb 2021 14:01:00 GMT

This episode starts as a conversation about the pros and cons of living in a cabin in the woods but falls off the woods pretty quickly. Stephen gets way too sing-songy, Vee has some regrets and Matt learns he has been saying words wrong his entire life. It's a good time.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 15: Everest

Thu, 28 Jan 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Back in the saddle for real this week, the gang decide to tackle the Mt. Everest of podcast topics: literally climbing Mt. Everest. Will they reach great heights or has this podcast already peaked? Either way, it'll be a fun listen, we promise.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 14: Stuff That Didn't Make It Into Other Episodes PART 1

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 14:01:00 GMT

We scoured our archives for various bits and bobs that took place before the episodes started, but deserve to be shown in their own right. Enjoy.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 13: Firewalking

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 14:01:00 GMT

In this episode, Stephen tries to make the case for walking on hot coals by using hard science. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 12: Gladatorial Combat

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 14:01:00 GMT

Matt cleverly sidesteps the whole "Do you actually want to do this?" fandango by making this week's activity mandatory. Thus, our discussion about the pros and cons of being a gladiator is part hypothetical, part D'n'D roleplay. Stephen, as always, finds an excuse to talk about professional wrestling and we learn a lot about Vee's rage issues.

Episode 11: Bobsled

Thu, 31 Dec 2020 14:01:00 GMT

Nuff people say they know they cant believe,

This podcast is now a bobsled team!

That's right, the gang explores the sport of bobsled. As Australians discussing a Winter Olympic sport, we hope we can Steven Bradbury our way into your hearts instead of it turning out like, you know, all of those times Steven Bradbury DIDN'T win Olympic gold.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 10: Rodeo

Thu, 24 Dec 2020 14:01:00 GMT

The gang officially hit double digits in style. Before you listen to them discuss the pros and cons of competing in a rodeo, try to guess which one of the hosts is going to reveal their dark past as a junior rodeo competitor. I's probably exactly who you think it is. Or not. We don't know you.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 09: Beefing

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 14:01:00 GMT

If you like the gang but wish they weren't always so devoted to staying on topic, this is the episode for you. Stephen introduces the topic of beefing as the flimsiest of pretexts for he and Matthew to take a walk down memory lane and recount the rap feud which forged their friendship. Fans of the early 2010's Toowoomba open mic scene are in for a special treat.

Episode 08: Camping

Thu, 10 Dec 2020 14:01:00 GMT

Is camping dangerous? Too dangerous? Let's find out together. We hope you like stories because THERE WILL BE STORIES!

Episode 07: Fighting Mike Tyson

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 14:01:00 GMT

Have you ever played Punch Out n the NES? You know how, after you fight your way to the end (or use a code - we're not judging you) you have to fight Mike Tyson and it's ridiculously hard? Well the gang discuss whether or not doing that in real life would be a good idea. (SPOILER: It's probably not)

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 06: Opening & Closing Blinds

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 14:01:00 GMT

Sometimes Matthew puts a lot of time and effort into researching his topics. Sometimes he just freestyles it and hopes Stephen won't notice. We're pretty sure he didn't though, he had a lot other stuff going on. Typical.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 05: Shoplifting

Thu, 19 Nov 2020 14:01:00 GMT

Shoplifting is bad. It's illegal and you shouldn't do it. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's discuss the various pros and cons of the thing that you totally shouldn't do.

p.s. Don't shoplift!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 04: Breeding Dinosaurs

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 14:01:00 GMT

Matthew has picked up an American accident that he refuses to drop. Also, the talented actor he is, he actually manages to keep it up 99% of the time. This is also the episode where we learn that nobody in the room can do a workable Jeff Goldblum impression (but that won't stop them from trying).

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 03: The Carolina Reaper

Thu, 05 Nov 2020 14:01:00 GMT

I just spent a solid half hour going back and forth with my internal monologue over whether or not it would be gauche to use to the phrase "In this episode, things get a little spicy." I told myself I wasn't going to but I guess I just did so I sure outsmarted... me. It's also worth noting that, despite having not yet graduated to actually having a microphone yet, Vee is an absolute highlight of this episode.

Episode 02: Free Climbing

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 14:01:00 GMT

The gang discuss the pros and cons of climbing without ropes or harnesses. There's a bit of a tangent about 90's heart throb Jonathan Taylor Thomas but they mostly stay on topic. Also, the script is completely flipped this episode when Matthew actually does some research while Stephen tells stories about high school trauma.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 01: Swimming With Sharks

Thu, 22 Oct 2020 14:01:00 GMT

In our debut episode, the gang discuss the pros and cons of swimming with sharks. Stephen awkwardly presents hard data while Matthew confidently presents anecdotal evidence and stories about his childhood. This MAY be a recurring trope going forward.

SPECIAL PREVIEW EPISODE

Sun, 18 Oct 2020 04:15:18 GMT

Some shadowy figures at Podcast HQ gave us ninety seconds to hock our wares to the world but we're so anti-consumerist that we refuse to sell anything; even ourselves (there will be ads though and we hope you like them). NEW EPISODES WEEKLY!
