| 20 Jun 2024 | Reach for the Neutron Stargate | 01:00:15 | |
Science agrees: black holes are really cool. TAPE listener Robert, on the other hand, disagrees with science, and thinks their slightly-less-dense-but-still-absurdly-dense cousins known as Neutron Stars are cooler. He’s decided to pet one. Julian explores the smorgasbord of ways he would probably die horribly if he tried. Meanwhile Trace geeks out about Stargate, in an effort to dial-in how accurate the gates would really be! QUESTIONS Julian: "If I tried to pet a neutron star, what would kill me first?" from Robert Trace: "If Stargate were real, would the address be accurate enough to dial a gate?" from Corey 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!

It's spoOOooOoky season! This week we're scaring you with a giant pasta topping! 👻 Not scared? What if I told you it's a meatball made of EVERY HUMAN? Oh, did I forget to mention that crucial detail? What's more terrifying than a GIANT MEATBALL OF ALL HUMANS?! MWAHAHAHA! (Just imagine the ODOR.) Would something that massive have its own gravity? What would it be like? Julian frightens himself silly pondering this one. Meanwhile, Trace envisions a world where a video game mechanic becomes reality. Would you want the ability to double jump? Personally, I'm far too clumsy. Let's leap into this episode — extreme Mario voice — WAH HOO!!

Friction! It’s what makes the world go rou— No, wait. That’s not it. Friction. It’s what keeps the world from spinning off into spaa—- That’s not it either.

QUESTIONS Julian: "What would a perfectly frictionless surface feel like?" from Adam Trace: "How bad would a dog's bark have to be to be worse than it's bite?" from Grace (In a previous version of the show notes I hadn't updated Grace's question.

| 12 Sep 2024 | The Poor Goaile is… Everywhere | feat. Tom Scott | 01:19:45 | |
You’re at a hockey game. You grabbed nachos and your favorite sports beverage. The Mighty Ducks are playing their rivals, and you look away from the ice to take a selfie with a selfie stick so long you have to brace it against your hip to snap the pic. You’re smiling with your crew, when a flash of white light envelops the stadium as the air catches fire. The noise is deafening. When you whip around, you see a hole in the stadium where the Duck’s goal used to be … outside the full moon is melting. You wonder if the nachos would taste good covered in moon cheese. You snap the photo. Ohhhh, the good ol’ hockey game; it’s the best game you can name, and the best game you can name? It’s the good old hockey game. QUESTIONS Trace: "Theoretically, how long could you make a selfie stick?" from Tom Scott Tom: "Would it be possible to hit a hockey puck so hard that when it hits the goalie, they fly backward through the net and hit the back wall?" from Steven Julian: "What if the moon was actually made of cheese?" from Cody, and seprately, Shane Do you have an absurd question?

| 03 Oct 2024 | A Ghostly Fireworky Glow Up | feat. Ceri Riley of SciShow Tangents | 01:11:55 | |
We haven’t seen this many fireworks since the Rockefeller Center did that spectacularly wild “Salute to Fireworks” back in 2007. This time around, guest-host Ceri Riley ponders what if fireworks were a normal part of the weather? And Trace ponders the spirits of the great beyond. He tries so, so hard not to bring up his time in the Victorian Era. Spoiler: He fails, almost as spectacularly as those damn fireworks. Julian is off this week, so send him lots of messages telling him how much he’s missed. QUESTIONS Ceri: "What would happen if fireworks were a naturally occurring weather pattern?" from Trace: "If ghosts were real, how fast would they move? Speed of light? Faster?" from Ceri & Julian 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?

| 04 Jul 2024 | It's Like Rocket Science, But Dumber | 01:24:55 | |
When Trace was a kid he was a sleepwalker. His parents closed the door to his bedroom. They heard him bonking against the door over and over. They love to tell this story. Now I'm telling you! Sleepwalking is weird, right? Are we the only ones who do that? Julian looks into it. Plus, as long as we’re wondering things … have you ever wondered if you could fling an animal into space? Like a marmot or a coyote! Could a coyote actually go to orbit on top of a giant pile of TNT? (He definitely isn’t going to catch that pesky road runner; does anyone under 30 even get this reference?). Trace explores what is clearly a Julian-focused question. 🧨 Happy Fireworks Week Americans 🎆 and a Happy Early July to everyone else! QUESTIONS Julian: "Are humans the only animal that sleepwalks?" from Henry (via his mom, Becca) Trace: "What animal could survive a spin launch, catapult, or explosion to space? Could any?" from Rowin in Australia 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?

| 05 Dec 2024 | Poke the Moon and Land Amongst the Clocks | 01:16:35 | |
If you made a video call to someone on the other end of a very, very, very long stick would it be possible to poke them with the stick before the video showed them that you’d moved? Would this impossible, absurd invention move faster than the speed of light?!? Julian pokes around to see. Then, after a Spongebob-style “Meanwhile” title card… Trace grabs a clock and huh’s about why the hands don’t go counter-clockwise. Do they just go with the flow? or is there something else afoot?? Er… a-hand? QUESTIONS Julian: "If you had a very long stick and used it to poke a person on, say, the moon, would they feel the poke before they saw you poking?" from Ida Trace: "Why do clocks go clockwise?" from Eline Do you have an absurd question?

Happy Halloween, absurd friends! This time around Julian comes out of his shell to calculate the speed of a Kaiju snail (so much mucus 🤢). Meanwhile, Trace pulls out all the molars—uh, pulls out all the stops on his Fae business plan for TOUTHS Incorporated, The Uber for children’s teeth, and asks: Would That Solve Anything™?! QUESTIONS Trace: "What does the tooth fairy do with all the teeth" from Emily Julian: "Would you have to run from a Godzilla-sized snail?” from Kara Do you have an absurd question?

| 11 Apr 2024 | It’s a Fart Rocket Breakthrough! Time to Hyper-Sleep to Jupiter | 00:55:47 | |
This week Julian explores the rocket science of farts. That’s a sentence that had likely never been written until this moment.

| 07 Nov 2024 | We Ship Acid-Spitting Humans | 01:12:52 | |
Fun fact: the dinosaur in Jurassic Park that spit acid on Nedry doesn’t exist! I mean, Dilophosaurus does, but it was probably a scavenger, not an evil piñata dinosaur. As long as we’re on the subject though, what if humans could shoot acid? What would that look like? And, as long as we’re talking about disemboweling humans … how many of their own internal organs does a person need to keep? How many transplants is humanly possible? Get these and more weird topics in this episode! QUESTIONS Julian: "I'm wondering… what if humans had a defense mechanism like shooting acid? What would that look like?" from Aubrey Trace: "Is a human ‘Ship of Theseus’ possible?" from Riese Do you have an absurd question?

| 19 Dec 2024 | Hot Hot DNA | 01:02:08 | |
There's a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, "sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it feels like a minute; sit on a hot stove for a minute and it feels like many hours. That's relativity." There's no evidence he actually said this, but that didn't stop Julian from turning up the heat on his question. Meanwhile, Trace took the DNA from all his cells and strung it together end-to-end. How long do you think that strand would be? What if we took all the DNA from ALL the LIFE on EARTH?! There's a lot of life here! QUESTIONS Julian: "What part of the human body is the most heat tolerant" from Anonymous Trace: "If you stitched together all the DNA on Earth… how long would it be?” from Mike Do you have an absurd question?

| 02 May 2024 | THE ABSURD-IVERSARY LIGHTNING ROUND SPECTACULAR!!!! | 01:18:02 | |
🎉 Happy Anniversary to us!! 🎊 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. I know right? Important Reminder: This format means our hosts cannot spend hours fact checking their answers. Typically we do our best to make sure the science and concepts we present on the show are accurate. We add sources our answers and spend a lot of time checking our facts and figures so we feel comfortable. All that is out the window here. This is important for you to know. From us. We don’t want to be wrong, but if we’re wrong — know we did it for the sake of a fun, lighthearted adventure through several absurd questions. Thanks for coming with us on this journey! We all really hope you enjoy this anniversary special. Thank you all for being listeners. Whether this was your first episode, or your 31st we really are absolutely blown away by you all being a part of this show. 🎂 QUESTIONS “Would it be possible to write my name on the moon with a laser?” from Sean “Could we pop the earth?” from Edward “How far does my car go on the average dinosaur?” from JW “What is the fastest movement a human can make under their own power?” from Ben “What food makes the best building material?” from Mark “Prove you exist, go on prove it.” from Susan Thank you again to all our listeners who submit such excellent questions. 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?
