🌶️ Why does coriander taste like soap to some people? How did TVs get so ridiculously cheap? And what’s really behind phrases like “cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey”?
In this episode of A Normal Meets A Nerd, Dylan and Darragh dive into:
🧊 The bizarre origin of the brass monkey saying
🦴 Why humans are (maybe) the only animals with a chin
🌀 What trypophobia actually is — and why so many people feel uneasy
😱 A deep dive into phobias and how they work in the brain
📺 The surprising economics behind modern television prices
🌿 Why coriander tastes soapy to some people (and delicious to others)
It’s quirky science, unexpected history and classic ANMAN chaos — normal meets nerd as always.
Thank you for listening!
