Friday’s Show: Tiny and Awesome
This week on Shut Up, Weirdo, we’re all about things that are as small as they are wonderful: diamonds, Hong Kong, white blood cells, Swiss Army knives, Peter Dinklage, tiny hats, Leicas, computer chips, awesome online videos, iPods, and this thing (above), which apparently is native only to Madagascar.
Micromanage your schedule if you have to, but call us this week (201-209-9368) and share your teeny treasures. Tune in this Friday, 6 to 7pm ET, at WFMU 91.1 (NYC area) or WFMU.org.

Shut Up Weirdo can’t forget about Small Wonder!
At first I thought this was some sort of Tim and Eric parody, because I’d never heard of it. And I don’t feel bad about that.
Worst robot ever, coupled with worst pronunciation of “robot” ever: Leave It to Roll-Oh, sponsored by Chevrolet (c. 1940).
Just in time for the Super Bowl: Andy’s new PSA video for WFMU’s 2012 Marathon fundraiser. Check it out.
Ooooh, spooky: The 1972 Night Gallery segment (“You Can’t Get Help Like That Anymore”) about the dangers of robotic-maid abuse, starring Cloris Leachman, Broderick Crawford, Lana Wood, and Severn Darden.
Johnny 5, from the movie Short Circuit, which apparently is some sort of gay sexbot remake of Midnight Cowboy.
Why isn’t it spelled Tweeky? Oh, and he sounds like Mel Blanc.
