Rodney has us talking about time and we trip out on it. Learn about: - The Whitmore Time Dilation Theory (aka the power of fractions and experience). - The seven-second delay we all live our lives on. - Our invisible noses. - And how we’re all just lumps of flesh trapped in dark bone cages [...]
Are creators responsible for how people use their creations? Where are the lines of responsibility in war? How often are the people involved in the doing of evil actually evil themselves? If blame Einstein for the bomb then are the Wright Brothers complicit as well? How much do you think $6,000,000 Man is worth today [...]
Perhaps you've noticed. We don’t like to choose between options “A” and “B.” What good is having cake if you're not gonna eat it? So, instead of selecting a statue in our likeness being made or a dinosaur being named after us, we decided to commission statues of us riding the dinosaurs we made up. [...]
This week we’re talking about Star Trek. Are you on team Picard or team Kirk? Both have their merits. How much do William Shatner and Patrick Stewart influence your decision? Does it matter which house the Sorting Hat would put them in? *** Topic - Captain Kirk or Captain Picard? From - Mike Jones
There's a reason we learn to sing the alphabet. It's because our brains are wired for novelty and pattern recognition. This leads Max to wonder why our entire educational lives aren't just one big musical. It leads Geoff to wade through his closet of discarded printers. And, it leads Ben to sing all the hits. [...]
Quick - write a haiku that's going to be carved into a mountain for millions of people to see. Not as simple as it sounds, right? I mean, is this a tourist destination or are people reading it as they drive by? The answer might affect your font choice. Is Geoff allowed to etch his [...]
This week Patron Saint Jay stops by to record and we're talking about seeing red. There are stories of bar fights, street fights, and closet rage arguing with imaginary opponents. Did you know monsters are metaphors and Jesus was a chaotic good sorcerer? *** Topic - What "you just messed with the wrong guy" moments [...]
This week is all about bugs. What would happen if they banded together and rose up in rebellion? Short answer - we'd be boned. Not only do they outnumber us, but they have crazy special forces. Geoff hatches a conspiracy. Max finds comfort in cat-Jesus. Ben makes a Lovecraftian simile. *** Topic - All the [...]
Everyone talks about spirit animals. Which is why we're talking about spirit instruments... Max is moved by strings. Geoff jams with jugs. Ben hears horns and his spirit band is Country Bear Jamboree. Listen as we stereotype people based on the instruments they play. Pssst...Oboists are long snappers. *** Topic - What is your spirit [...]
In a weird way this whole show is really one long definition of a word Ben struggled to define at the end of the show. A malapropism is the name we give to those times when you say the wrong word, but the word you say sounds like the word you meant to say. Kinda [...]
