    This week, Julian—hoping to crown the true MVP of the animal kingdom—drafts the ultimate basketball beast, while Trace turns up the heat to find out whether we’re actually sweating in hot showers and, more deliciously, how many workouts it would take to perfectly season an omelette with his own hard-earned salt.

    22. JAN.

    Which Came Last: the Tortoise or the Onion Unraveling into Nothingness?

    Anyone who’s ever had to educate a talking donkey would know, onions have layers (just like ogres). But, just like in the story with the giant, green, scottish (?) ogre — it’s important to remember the lessons behind the fables! Like the tortoise and the hare, which reminds us that even if the tortoise doesn’t win the race, it’ll outlive a rabbit by several decades. Take that RABBIT. QUESTIONS Julian: "At what distance race would a tortoise actually be likely to beat a hare?" from Patreon poll winner Nick Trace: "What is the half-life of an onion? If it was hypothetically preserved could it radioactive decay? How long would it take?" from Bynzyldyhydeditoximonothaixyprophine Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a silly idea that popped into your head, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food?

AND could it land SAFELY upside down on it's rotors?" from Gailmarie Trace: "How many lasagna batteries does it take to power a toaster oven?" from Bjorn on Spotify Do you have an absurd question?

  8. This'll be weird… Happy Holidays from TAPE!

    25.12.2025

    This'll be weird… Happy Holidays from TAPE!

    Like Boromir said, "It is a gift! Let us use it against them!" The internet has been taken over by #lofi girls, so we commissioned an artist to turn Julian and Trace into our own #lofigirl for the holidays! (Is it a lofi girl? are we lofi guys? We're honestly not sure. Either way, we did it!!) We love you all! Thanks for making 2025 such an amazing year (for our little community) even though it was generally a terrible year for gestures broadly. Hope this can being a little light to your holiday season. Enjoy the wintery lofi beats interspersed with #holiday-themed fun facts! See you in 2026! QUESTIONS Trace: 🎶 The First Yule Log — the angels did say, was filmed by a crew who burned a rug that day Julian: “Cutting down a tree outside and bringing it inside is the behavior of a drunk person” - Julian (paraphrasing Jim Gaffigan) Trace: "Why is it ‘Merry’ Christmas, but ‘Happy’ for every other day?” - Matt P. Julian: TIRED: Putting candles on a dry flammable tree WIRED: Literally just lights Trace: Was Rudolph Red-nosed because someone was on shrooms? Julian: A misprinted phone number with national security implications. Do you have an absurd question?
