    Chatty Planties Under Twin Suns | feat Maren Hunsberger May 22, 2025
    Show notes

    Turns out plants are absolute CHATTERBOXES! They talk so much that they make Julian look like a silent partner (he’s not). Instead, he uses a silly German accent to accost our guest Maren Hunsberger all about plant communication. And, speaking of intense interrogations, Star Wars’ Tatooine gets a lot of play in the pop-science space news, but here at home having two suns is way hotter, and also (surprisingly) WAY COLDER!

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "What would happen if our Solar System had two suns" from Hannah

    Maren: "If plants ‘scream’ when cut, do they talk for other reasons?" from Xander

    Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a 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!

    Americas? Gone. Half the Population? Gone! My Keys?... Uh Oh. May 15, 2025
    Show notes

    Let’s just wait a minute while everyone logs on… just a miiiiinnuuuuute, OK do we? I think… Yes, we have everyone! Welcome y’all to our weekly corporate roundtable, before we get started let’s all do some SNAPS for Norm for his Thanos Post-Mortem! The deck was amazing and I think there were some incredible insights to share. But today we’re throwing it over to Trace to speak to our MISSING AMERICAS strategic initiative, and then later, Julian will unpack the objectives and KEY reports which, I think will OPEN so MANY DOORS for our group moving forward. Okay? OK. Let’s get started! ✨️

    QUESTIONS

    Trace: "What if no Americas?" from Sakari

    Norm Chan "What would be the real consequences of a Thanos' snap? How screwed is society?” from Morgan

    Julian: "Which key opens the most doors?" from Art

    Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a 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!

    "I Flick My Space Boogers at You" - the Sun, Probably May 08, 2025
    Show notes

    Ever notice that our fingers seem to fit perfectly in our nostrils? Is... is that supposed to be like that? Our Patreon subscribers picked this little gem so Trace dug deep to find an answer. Then Julian tries to figure out just what it would take to make a star-encapsulating super structure, better known as a Dyson Sphere.

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "What percentage of the earth mass it would take to make a Dyson sphere?" from Phillipe

    Trace: "Are we supposed to pick our nose?" from Trevor

    Show notes

    Hi All! Trace and Julian are taking a bit of a break this week but fear not, we still have some content for you! This is one of our favorite old episodes where Julian learns the REAL alphabet, also known as the ABG’s (not a typo); Trace discovers we are all constantly online whether we like it or not by exploring the mysteries of WiFi; and special guest Dr Virginia Schutte dives into a super-powered animal propelled by twerking.

    QUESTIONS

    Virginia: “What if humans had mantis shrimp powers?” from listener Samara D

    Julian: "Who invented alphabetical order?" from listener Paul P

    Trace: "Where is the internet?" from guest Virginia Schutte, PhD

    Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a 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!

    Submit questions directly to us thatsabsurdshow.com/ask or email them to hello at thatsabsurdshow.com. We'll give you a shout out in the episode if we use your question!

    Internally Screaming Until Leap Year Apr 24, 2025
    Show notes

    This episode Julian tries to think of an even better calendar (too bad "Julian Calendar" was already taken) and Trace thinks a thought so hard his head hurts.

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "Is there a better calendar than the Gregorian? Would it solve any obscure problems?" from Daniel

    Trace: "Can you think something in your head so loud that it can physically hurt you?" from Austin

    Belting Fly Brains and Melting Gold with Rain Apr 17, 2025
    Show notes

    Let’s get ready to RUMMMMMMMBBBLLLEEE!! In this corner, we have a normal human who is definitely not a psychopath, and in the opposite corner we have… a fly. Just like, a fly. Also Julian is here and has an amazing story about melting gold with acid rain!

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "Could we produce enough air pollution to make the sky rain aqua regia? At what point would it begin to dissolve gold?" from Mateo

    Trace: "What is the smallest creature that can be knocked out with a punch?" from Sean

    Going Full Goron on the Himalayas Apr 10, 2025
    Show notes

    Tonight our chefs have prepared an all-natural pasture-raised and pristine ivory-hued plutonic entree, slow-cooked under rich, Indian-spiced tectonic compression for 50 million years, adorned with a constellation of tourmaline and garnet, presented alongside gossamer-thin schist ribbons. Then, for dessert, an insulative coating of CHOOH2 which should leave your myelinated neuronal strands feeling slick and hyper-conductive.

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "Would coating your nervous system in a conductive or insulative material boost someone's reflexes?" from Kronik Dreamer

    Trace answers TWO similar questions: "How many people would it take to consume the Himalaya mountain range?” and “How many rocks could I eat?” from Justin and Trevor, respectively

    Forever and a Hair Apr 03, 2025
    Show notes

    In this episode, we learn Julian used to wear fedoras. He says, it’s been forever and a day, but I’m going to wait a Planck beard-second to see if that bears out. Before that, Trace combs through the hairy subject of human fur — about which he’s an experienced expert. Plus, like a hair on the tongue of your mind we just can’t seem to stop screaming about this one emo song.

    QUESTIONS

    Trace: "What if we had the same kind of hair everywhere? Would that solve anything?" from Emilia from Poland

    Julian: “What idiom for waiting actually takes the longest?” from Adam — ✨️Poll Winning Question✨️

    Terminal Thoughts Mar 27, 2025
    Show notes

    Ever get caught in a light drizzle and think, "Ah, this is nice"? WELL WHAT IF IT WAS ACTUALLY HORRIFYING??? Julian explores the several ways air resistance keeps rainstorms from becoming catastrophic bombardments from the sky. Then Trace tries to get inside the mind of Julian's chihuahua. Turns out most of her thoughts boil down to "shake" and "bark".

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: "What if rain drops did not have a terminal velocity?" from Frederik

    Trace: "Do animals think and/or form thoughts in their own language?" from Cooper

    Headaches Wheelie Hurt (I'm Sorry) Mar 20, 2025
    Show notes

    Wheel wheel wheel … this episode definitely gave us both a headache. I swear we’re not going to conquer every silly meme from your group text (or maybe we will?).

    QUESTIONS

    Julian: “Are there more windows or doors in the world?” from Liam

    Trace: "Headaches… Why???!” from Anna from Athens

    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!

    HOW TO ASK A QUESTION

    🖥️ Submit on our website: thatsabsurdshow.com/ask

    ☎️ Leave a voicemail: (302) TAPE-SHO [+1-302-827-3746‬]

    📬 E-mail questions to hello at thatsabsurdshow.com

    If we use your question we’ll give you a shout out in the episode.
