    THE 100 1/2TH ABSURDAGANZA CONTINUES Oct 09, 2025
    Show notes

    Dearest Listeners,

    We write from our recording studio's trenches. The air is thick and oppressive. The relentless heat tests our resolve. Our studios, once creative havens, now resemble the crannies of camels. The temperature rises each hour, and so do tempers. We are tired–Listeners—bone-tired, the kind that settles deep into one's soul. Yet we press forward, driven by our duty to document the absurd. Julian hasn't fared well; the heat has frayed his nerves, making him snap at small provocations. Sophie has started doing karaoke and wears strange accents. Trace is... indescribable. We all persist, for absurdity waits for no one, and neither shall we. Onward to the 100th And a Halfth.

    Your faithful servants of nonsense, warmed like croissants, but unbroken.

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "Why glasses thick and contact lenses not thick?" from Saff

    Trace: "Would eating lab grown human meat be considered cannibalism?" from Ellen featuring Simone Giertz (Her own YouTube channel, Yetch Store, formerly, Queen of Shi*ty Robots)

    Trace: "Is there a universal geographic coordinate system for the human body? If so, where is the Prime Meridian located on the body? Is it even necessary to assign a name to every square centimeter of the body?" from Yusuke featuring Patrick Kelly (PatKellyTeaches on YouTube)

    Julian: "Would I be cold if I was covered in thermal paste?" from Shane

    Trace: "How large would I need to be for noticeable lag in real life?" from Jori featuring Amy Shira Teitel (VintageSpace on YouTube, on Twitch theSpaceVixen)

    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? Whatever your question, we want to answer it—tell us!

    THE 100TH EPISODE ABSURDAGANZA! Oct 02, 2025
    Show notes

    WE DID IT.

    WE MADE 100 PODCAST EPISODES WITHOUT MISSING AN UPLOAD (almost).

    To celebrate Trace and Julian decided to do it big. How big? TEN WHOLE QUESTIONS BIG. SO BIG THEY HAD TO ASK THEIR FRIEND SOPHIE SHRAND TO HELP THEM OUT BIG. BIG ENOUGH TO.... BE... LIKE... REALLY LONG... BIG.

    You get the idea.

    We pulled out all the stops for this absolute marathon of an episode because we owed it to you all. You have made making each episode such a delight with your weird thoughts, running gags, and delightful dispositions. As just a couple of dudes riddled with ADHD and science nerdiness... what did we do to deserve you?! We're so grateful that y'all have showed up for this show week after week. Thank you.

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "What if water ice sank?" from Hunter

    Trace: “How much did Rapunzel's long hair weigh?” from Hal with Special Guest Kari Byron (Mythbusters, MythFits podcast)

    Sophie: “Likely way to die while walking my dog?” from Lisa

    Julian “If a frog had a glass ass would it hop?” from Coy

    Trace: "How would the world be different if Zeppelins were the primary method of transportation?" from Hannah (yes, that Hannah) feat special guest Dr Alex Dainis (a.k.a. the “Blimp Lady”)

    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? Whatever your question, we want to answer it—tell us!

    "MINIONS! Lower Mr. Bond into the Saliva Pool!" Sep 25, 2025
    Show notes

    Tired of having to do all your evil deeds yourself? Well with this one simple organism and some ethically dubious genetic engineering you too could have your very own army of immortal minions! (Intelligence and number of eyes may vary). Julian explores what you might need to make these little favorites of moms everywhere. Then Trace explores a pool of saliva.... Just going to leave it at that.

    QUESTIONS:

    Julian: "If you were to create a Despicable Me Minion what living thing would you start with?" -Ava

    Trace: "Is it possible to drown people in saliva? " -Mostaphael

    Zooming in on Nano Paintings (They're a BIG deal) Sep 18, 2025
    Show notes

    Want to make a nanoscale image of the Mona Lisa? Listener Kodiak does. All they have to do is learn a bit of quantum mechanics, some thermochemical nanolithography, and then tap the genius of ancient superbrain Leonardo da Vinci! EASY!! Scientists did it!! Even though you can't see it without a powerful microscope trust us that she is smirking even harder than usual.

    While Trace is poking around like Ant Man, Julian roleplays as Frozen's Elsa to see if he can extinguish fire with nothing but an icy blast. Spoiler alert: you may be better off with a magical mystical freeze ray.

    TRY YOUR HAND AT NANO ART

    Thanks to Prof. Babak Anasori for coming on the show and explaining nanoscale art to us.

    🔬 VisitNanoartography.org to see past winners and submit your own creations!

    🥇 They even have pre-made nano images that YOU can add your own spin on before submitting it to a collaboration category! Go try! This year's deadline is Sept 30, 2025.

    QUESTIONS

    Trace: "Could you hypothetically ‘paint’ a Mona Lisa by utilizing microscopic structures rather than actual paint?" from Kodiak

    Julian: "Can you extinguish a fire just by making it really cold?" from Steven

    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? Whatever your question, we want to answer it—tell us!

    I Can Read Your Mind… You're Thinking About Tiny Elephants?! Sep 04, 2025
    Show notes

    his week, Julian prunes the universe down to size: bonsai animals, bonsai humans, bonsai...uhm...did he just say bonsai HUMANS? Meanwhile, Trace tunes into the world of telepathy, where mind-reading might sound less like superpowers and more like trying to pick up a radio station with a bent coat hanger.

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "Can you bonsai any living things other than trees or shrubs?" from Ard

    Trace: "How would telepathy actually work? Would it be fuzzy like those AI images? Aren’t all brains wired differently?" from Dala

    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? Whatever your question, we want to answer it—tell us!

    This Man Built a Fart Gun. Seriously. | feat. Lieven Scheire Aug 28, 2025
    Show notes

    QUESTIONS

    Trace: "If we removed all salt from the oceans, would that solve anything about rising water levels?" from Rob

    Lieven Scheire: "Could a fart be ruminated to the point where smelling it would kill you?" from Nick

    Julian: “Could enough pasty Brits reflect enough sunlight to make a laser?” from Gabriel

    Tanks vs Dragons?! Aug 21, 2025
    Show notes

    Julian rolls into yet another extremely nerdy community and fires rounds left and right. Meanwhile, Trace calls his mom to help answer a question from a kid. As long as we're not on the subject though, what do tree trunks and military tanks have in common? They’re both flammable.

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "Who would win: Dragons vs WW2 tanks” - Tim

    Trace: “Why are trees Green and Brown why not purple or something else?” - Rhonda

    Reverse-Muscled Cat Prisoners Aug 07, 2025
    Show notes

    In this episode, Trace investigates whether your furry companion is cuddling you... or forging a trauma bond in exchange for treats. Meanwhile, in a shocking twist of anatomy, Julian answers what would happen if your muscles worked in reverse. Flexing? Cancelled. Walking? Complicated. Cuddling your trauma-bonded cat? Still mandatory.

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "What if muscles worked in the opposite direction?" from Eline from the Netherlands

    Trace: "Does my cat have Stockholm syndrome?" from Rob

    Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food? If you want an answer, no matter the question, tell us!
