    #280 How much can you (fork)lift?

    Honestly does that title not make you want to listen? I really doubt anything else I would say would help any more than that. We could highlight that for the past 32 episodes I have embedded a low frequency pulse that if passed through a fourier transform and converted to hexidecimal provided the answers to the machine elements and dynamics exams in full. Does that help? Well it might if it were true, admittedly. Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on 26 Nov 2025

    #279 Keep up Billy

    Billy! As in Billy the kid, get it? Because all students are just kids? No? Anyway... Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on some date in the year (26 Nov 2025 to be precise)

    #278 A fruity zing to design

    Are we a bit unsettled lately? Has the year finally gotten to us? Are we seriously considering fruit as an example for sports? Probably, seems perfectly normal to me to be honest. Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on 5 Nov 2025

    #276 On the road again

    I'm beginning to believe that Boer is simply bored and purposefully setting up these incidents. Anyway this time we were somewhat more repaired. Note that despite having both Jeremy and Bert there, we didn't once consider having them involved - that is how useful they are. I'm not complaining necessarily but wow are they not contributing to this whole toast programme we have going on. Seriously, if you have a need for a psychotic british sod from the 1920's and a man that at best burns toast let us know. Not that you can have them, I just want to give them some hope that someone would want them. Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on 1 October 2025

    #275 ArcheologyX

    Who doesn't want a dinosaur skeleton collection? But at the same time who wants to wait that unnecessary amount of time to have them dug out the ground? So you know there is one in the ground, now get it out. Now. Hosted by M.Boer and S.Schekman on 1 October 2025

    #274 Boer and Schekman's National Lampoon Vacation 2

    Jeremy, not the same one you are undoubtedly used to, put Boer and me in a bit of a pickle. Thankfully not in the Kruger but sadly 100km away from where we need to be. So whats the plan? Well in an ideal world we made it back. In reality, we are probably still out there. Question now is, who is writing this? I didn't have reception out there. Am I a clone? Would I be allowed to know I am a clone? Who is cloning staff at Wits? How many times have I been cloned? Hosted by the apparent clones of M.Boer and S.Schekman on 21 August 2025

    #273 Reinventing the trailer

    If the system doesn't always trail behind is it then wrong to call it a trailer. Consider the linked video. It does trail but also leads and swings. A swealer? A tweader? A Letrawinger? I don't think any of that will catch on but we discuss the premise anyway. https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/1mrvyyn/360degree_offroad_trailer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Hosted by M.
