    Oh No. Our Chicken is Cooked

    We have systems in place to prevent this from happening, but somehow we failed. I swear this all happened exactly as you heard! We’re so cooked, y’all. Or at least… that chicken is.

    Hot Hot DNA

    There's a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, "sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it feels like a minute; sit on a hot stove for a minute and it feels like many hours. That's relativity." There's no evidence he actually said this, but that didn't stop Julian from turning up the heat on his question. Meanwhile, Trace took the DNA from all his cells and strung it together end-to-end. How long do you think that strand would be? What if we took all the DNA from ALL the LIFE on EARTH?! There's a lot of life here!

    High-Level Poop Talk and Deadly Temporal Fantasies

    This week, Trace delves into some temporal fantasies, like: why people think if they could travel into the past they’d become lords and queens, and not serfs or worse!? Meanwhile, Julian measures the terminal velocity of poo-poo and pee-pee in very tall buildings. Our show is so weird.

    Poke the Moon and Land Amongst the Clocks

    If you made a video call with a very long stick, could you poke the person before the video showed you moving? Would this impossible invention move faster than light? Julian investigates. After a Spongebob-style "Meanwhile" title card, Trace grabs a clock and wonders why the hands don't go counter-clockwise. Do they just go with the flow, or is there something else?

    Frictionless Ultrasonic Banger

    Friction! It’s what makes the world go rou— No, wait. That’s not it. Friction. It’s what keeps the world from spinning off into spaa—- That’s not it either. Friction… It’s what keeps your shoes from being too slippy, but also, like, just slippy enough? *Sigh* Also, dog bark science. Enjoy!

    We Ship Acid-Spitting Humans

    Fun fact: the dinosaur in Jurassic Park that spit acid on Nedry doesn’t exist! I mean, Dilophosaurus does, but it was probably a scavenger, not an evil piñata dinosaur. As long as we’re on the subject though, what if humans could shoot acid? What would that look like? And, as long as we’re talking about disemboweling humans … how many of their own internal organs does a person need to keep? How many transplants is humanly possible? Get these and more weird topics in this episode!
