Gregr and Branden are finally back after a holiday and a long bout of that fancy new covid strain - but don't worry, they get straight into tentacle talk #TentacleTalk and on the internet #TentacleTok. Join us live on the Audacy app every Tuesday morning at 10am pterodactyl daylight time for a new episode!
"Have you ever thought about opposite smells" says a guy who has definitely never smoked weed today... Somehow we get from trash eating worm to Garbage Rex in like two minutes. Plus we'll shoot meat into your mouth and figure out if Digimon is actually Pokemon or not. It's a very heady episode.
First off, if we could just start by apologizing for all the nipple talk today... specifically when it comes to orangutans... The headline was everywhere but no one really paid much attention to the engineer who got suspended at Google after claiming that created a sentient AI. Also, we spend a lot of time giggling about falling into a tub of chocolate and requiring the jaws of life to escape. Shine your candy shell, we're having stupid fun!
We go live Tuesdays at 10a PT (pterodactyl time) for a longer look at the nerdy stuff that happens every week. This week it happens to be a lot of talk about pterosaurs. Fun fact: helicopter is actually helix (spiral) and pteron (wing) therefor a helicoptersaurus is a flying football wing. Right.
Welcome to June! Just three more weeks of later and later sunlight before it starts to get sucked away again. Today we're fixing livers and shooting down Starlink!
It's not quite jetpacks, but the future of rescuing people is pretty dang close to it.
Pee eating dolphins, Pepsi pizza, burrito engineerin... wait, what was that about dolphins eating pee?!?
This week's show includes my talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson at the 23 minute mark of the show. Wild week, what a thrill! Thanks as always for your support.
What an epic opportunity to speak with American astrophysicist, planetary scientist, author, podcaster and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson, as he discusses “The Cosmic Perspective" a show he's traveling around the country to present. Neil is every bit as well spoken and charming as you'd expect from a guy who made the Hayden Planetarium cool(er). We talk about cosmic perspective, competitiveness in the science communication field, and Neil's favorite planet!
Today we say goodbye to a piece of kit that completely changed the game for listening to music. RIP sweet sweet click-y wheel.
Our insatiable need for the cool blue light of our screens is going to prove problematic not just for our eyes, but for how we get the stuff to make them. Aaaand come thrifter found an antique bust and paid next to nothing for it - so what's it worth?
This show is the silliest, please don't let this be the first thing you listen to! Also, Gregr is quite sick for this episode so bring on some crappy voice!
We're catching rocket bodies. Also, we trust robot faces more than human ones so the future is definitely terrible for a while!
We now definitively know who is the worst Avenger!
If you make a pickle bread what do you use as a starter. We get to the bottom of that a lot in one episode. Like too much. Along the way we throw a ton of star shade, giggle about the dude who named planet 7, and learn about the ultimate un-influencer. Have fun!
One of us had a very gross cold during the recording of this episode, the other lives in Spokane... Sometimes there are no winners jkjkjk
This week we're putting the computer chip in CHIPotle, making batteries out of rocks, and celebrating that we weren't around for the meteorite that smashed the dinosaurs into a slimy goo.
Happy 4/11 day! Ok, so that's not a thing, but it made me think back to waaay back in the day when we used to dial 4-1-1 to get phone numbers etc. Wild.
We discover a new (imaginary) number likely from South America #problematic, some jerkoff on an airplane ruined everyone's day, and the famed poop swap to fight your gut glut.
A part of Back to the Future is back! The good parts are probably behind a paywall though...
I, a fan of dogs, can definitively identify the worst type of a dog.
Shout out to David for being cool about discovering this gem...
Wait, why would I spam myself text messages unless it's cheese related?
China deleted Keanu from their internet?! Also, don't be gross, but what would like to see The Rock ride atop? Because I have a great answer...
Whoops!
If nothing else about this episode, we discovered bird god!
It's St Patrick's Day, try not to barf on yourself... or anyone else.
Which animal's feet would you want transplanted onto your inferior legs? Is Pete Davidson rich (this leads to Branden delivering a subtle sick burn on Gregr)? There's a robot goat now - don't let it near the Dinobots.
Who looks at an asteroid and thinks "hmm, that's about the size of a giraffe"? Also, don't get caught in a murdery sex trap.
DUDE WAS ILLEGALLY EXPORTING LIVING SCORPIONS. NO.
