Episode description

You are showering too often. Helicopters are insane. Soap is ancient magic chemistry.

This time around, Trace tells everyone all about cleanliness while attempting to dodge the wellness and clean eating industry zealots. Then, Julian geeks out on the wild engineering of helicopters AND debunks a related meme about jets going to the gym.

QUESTIONS

Trace: "How clean is too clean?" from NeatNit

Julian: "What would happen if you kept a helicopter stationary in the air for 12 hours?" from Amanda

AND Julian answers a BONUS question “A jumbo jet is on a treadmill. The treadmill is programmed to move at the exact speed of the planes wheels in the opposite direction. Can the plane take off?” from Brock

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!
