That's Absurd Please Elaborate

This episode Trace tries to track down the first word ever uttered by human kind and Julian gets confused about how reproduction works… again…

In this absolutely absurd episode, Dr Simon Clark ponders if human's could colonize an atmosphere like Jupiter's -- Star Wars Cloud City is on trial. Plus, since we’re talking about gas giants — Julian — digs into the evolutionary experiment that could give rise to a vampire. But first, Trace leads us off by learning about the uneven distribution of kitty cat toe beans!

It’s been one year since we launched That's Absurd, Please Elaborate and what an absurdly fun ride it's been. To celebrate we tweaked the show just a bit. Our special guest, producer/editor Kyle Sisk, has selected six listener-submitted questions for Julian and Trace to answer. The catch? They only have five minutes to do their research.

Did you know scientists turned a swarm of crabs into a computer? Julian explores if it can play an old video game. Plus, our guest Deboki feels out animal pregnancy, and Trace learns that Ben Franklin wrote a eulogy for a pet squirrel.

This time around, guest Hip Hop MD stamens your pistol and Julian admits (surprising no one) that he flows with nerd core.

This week Julian explores the rocket science of farts. That’s a sentence that had likely never been written until this moment. Trace talks about the science of stasis, a.k.a hyper-sleep, a.k.a. cryo-freeze. As a bonus, we all get to learn the predictive powers of the 1993 classic film “Demolition Man.”

This episode Trace imagines what it would take to lock a world in darkness while Julian does something very suspicious with pineapples.

An important-ish update about the show's release schedule.

In this revolting episode, our guest Dr Sam Jones asks Julian to never see a man about a horse again, Sam weeds out the filth in the animal kingdom, and Trace gives us a palate cleanser of starchy, potatoey goodness.

This time on T.A.P.E. — Matt Krol digs into cinema history to answer a deathly serious question, and Trace is out cold answering a question mulled over by scientists for centuries. Julian is helping out at NASA so he’ll be back next week.
