Like Boromir said, "It is a gift! Let us use it against them!" The internet has been taken over by #lofi girls, so we commissioned an artist to turn Julian and Trace into our own #lofigirl for the holidays! (Is it a lofi girl? are we lofi guys? We're honestly not sure. Either way, we did it!!) We love you all! Thanks for making 2025 such an amazing year (for our little community) even though it was generally a terrible year for gestures broadly. Hope this can being a little light to your holiday season. Enjoy the wintery lofi beats interspersed with #holiday-themed fun facts! See you in 2026! QUESTIONS Trace: 🎶 The First Yule Log — the angels did say, was filmed by a crew who burned a rug that day Julian: “Cutting down a tree outside and bringing it inside is the behavior of a drunk person” - Julian (paraphrasing Jim Gaffigan) Trace: "Why is it ‘Merry’ Christmas, but ‘Happy’ for every other day?” - Matt P. Julian: TIRED: Putting candles on a dry flammable tree WIRED: Literally just lights Trace: Was Rudolph Red-nosed because someone was on shrooms? Julian: A misprinted phone number with national security implications. Do you have an absurd question?

This episode aired around Easter, prompting us to ask: where does that weird Bunny get all the eggs? And why are there eggs in the first place? Guest Yasmin Khan (The Young Turks) has an answer. Meanwhile, Julian explores the word of bat-style crime fighting on a budget and Trace explores if living on Mars would make us super aggro!

If your life had a soundtrack what would it be? Up-tempo action music? Epic orchestral swells? Romantic… xylophones? Are xylophones romantic? We don’t know, we’re podcasters, not EGOT-winning music producers of screen and stage. Maybe it’s a good thing you can’t hear what’s in our heads… aside from on this show where we say everything in our heads, obviously. In this episode Trace explores what it might be like if the music in your head had a public feed. Meanwhile Julian tries to figure out what he couldn’t do even if he had all the time in the world. Seriously, all of it. QUESTIONS Julian: "What can we NOT achieve with enough time?" from Shane Trace: "What if you could hear someone else’s life soundtrack?" from Rebecca Do you have an absurd question?

We did another live show!! I’m not sure how we convinced the Bay Area Science Festival that we are a legitimate podcast, but, hey, people actually showed up to watch the show in-person in San Francisco. We had an extremely tight window, and are famously (infamously?) long-winded, so in this episode special guest Dr Wallace Marshall ponders the nightmare of giant tardigrades, and Trace looks into the availability of gluttony… you know, for science. If you want to have our show on the road to you — send us an email at hello at thatsabsurdshow.com ! QUESTIONS Trace: "At an all you can eat buffet, is there some point at which you can just keep eating as much more food as you want without gaining any additional weight or blood sugar or whatever?" from guest Dr. Marshall Wallace of UCSF Marshall: "What would happen if tardigrades were bigger?" from listener Kristina Do you have an absurd question?

Happy American Turkey Consumption Day! 🦃 In honor of the national holiday we've let Kyle out of his editing dungeon and let him celebrate with his family. We're releasing a re-run this week. Enjoy!

If we say: Making whoopee. Polishing the broomstick. The pickle tickle. Shagging. Enjoying Taco Tuesday. Parking the beef bus in Tuna Town. Waxing the carrot. Boinking. Glazing donuts. Going downtown. … I think you get what we mean (right?)

You know what's passé? Chemical rockets. Powering a space ship by harnessing the expanding gasses of a controlled explosion and shooting off to parts unknown guided only by fire, math, and spite for the force of gravity? Yawn. What if instead you got like, 40 cyclists with thighs as big as tree trunks that just won't quit, stuck them on some stationary bikes, and used them to power your spaceship like it was a sci-fi trireme from the year 30,000? WOULD THAT SOLVE ANYTHING??? Trace is going to find out. Meanwhile Julian is very concerned with the structural integrity of some fairy-tale pig houses, because they aren't up to code and there's a storm a-comin'. And that storm's name is Wolf. Big Wolf. Big Bad Wolf. QUESTIONS THIS WEEK Julian: "How much wind and energy was the big bad wolf able to generate in the three little pigs?" from Adam Trace: "What’s the most efficient way to extract energy from a human?" from Ludvig Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a silly idea that popped into your head, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food?

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over my quaint and curious human egg, forgotten I should stretch my leg— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door…

In this special HALLOWEEN EPISODE ⚡️ Julian and Trace wear out Kyle’s lightning button ⚡️ and answer some SpoOOoOooOOOoky questions about ⚡️ dangerous animals ⚡️ vampires and in true Millennial fashion…⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ alcohol ⚡️

When can we all admit that we’re all scrolling instagram while sitting on the toilet? When will we admit that foods with more surface area are just darn tastier? And when will we admit that … well we’re still on the toilet because of constipation. Julian and Trace will cover all of this in this week’s episode. Except the instagram thing, that’s still a mystery to science because no one will admit it!! WHEN CAN WE ALL ADMIT THAT WE’RE AL—sounds of being stuffed into a truck QUESTIONS Julian: "What’s the most impractical way to treat constipation" from Anonymous Pooper Trace: "Why does the ‘surface area theory’ work?" from Ben Do you have an absurd question?

Locusts, Squirrels, and Birds OH MY! In this wild episode of the show, Julian drones on like the queen he is all about airplanes and bees. Then, Trace finds some fuzzy commandos to gnaw at infrastructure of New Jersey. Squirrel away this knowledge for a rainy day — as long as the locusts don’t attack your airplane.

Dearest Listeners, We write from our recording studio's trenches. The air is thick and oppressive. The relentless heat tests our resolve. Our studios, once creative havens, now resemble the crannies of camels. The temperature rises each hour, and so do tempers.

WE DID IT. WE MADE 100 PODCAST EPISODES WITHOUT MISSING AN UPLOAD (almost). To celebrate Trace and Julian decided to do it big. How big? TEN WHOLE QUESTIONS BIG. SO BIG THEY HAD TO ASK THEIR FRIEND SOPHIE SHRAND TO HELP THEM OUT BIG. BIG ENOUGH TO.... BE... LIKE... REALLY LONG... BIG. You get the idea. We pulled out all the stops for this absolute marathon of an episode because we owed it to you all. You have made making each episode such a delight with your weird thoughts, running gags, and delightful dispositions. As just a couple of dudes riddled with ADHD and science nerdiness... what did we do to deserve you?! We're so grateful that y'all have showed up for this show week after week. Thank you. QUESTIONS Julian: "What if water ice sank?" from Hunter Trace: “How much did Rapunzel's long hair weigh?” from Hal with Special Guest Kari Byron (Mythbusters, MythFits podcast) Sophie: “Likely way to die while walking my dog?” from Lisa Julian “If a frog had a glass ass would it hop?” from Coy Trace: "How would the world be different if Zeppelins were the primary method of transportation?" from Hannah (yes, that Hannah) feat special guest Dr Alex Dainis (a.k.a. the “Blimp Lady”) Do you have an absurd question?

Tired of having to do all your evil deeds yourself? Well with this one simple organism and some ethically dubious genetic engineering you too could have your very own army of immortal minions! (Intelligence and number of eyes may vary). Julian explores what you might need to make these little favorites of moms everywhere. Then Trace explores a pool of saliva.... Just going to leave it at that. QUESTIONS: Julian: "If you were to create a Despicable Me Minion what living thing would you start with?" -Ava Trace: "Is it possible to drown people in saliva? " -Mostaphael Do you have an absurd question?

What do you get when you mix quantum mechanics, thermochemical nanolithography, and Leonardo da Vinci? The world’s smallest Mona Lisa…which you’d need a microscope, three PhDs, and possibly Ant-Man to see, but trust us—she’s smirking harder than usual. Meanwhile, Julian roleplays as Elsa to see if he can extinguish fire with nothing but an icy blast. Spoiler alert: you may be better off with a magical mystical freeze ray.

The hip bone connected to the basalt rock The femur bone connected to the lunar maria The foot bone connected to the gravitational equilibrium of the celestial bodies! That’s the story of the bones… and… this episode? QUESTIONS Trace: "How easy would it be to break your bones if humans can fly?" from Anonymous Julian: "How big would the moon have to be to make you weightless?" from Sun Do you have an absurd question?

his week, Julian prunes the universe down to size: bonsai animals, bonsai humans, bonsai...uhm...did he just say bonsai HUMANS? Meanwhile, Trace tunes into the world of telepathy, where mind-reading might sound less like superpowers and more like trying to pick up a radio station with a bent coat hanger. QUESTIONS Julian: "Can you bonsai any living things other than trees or shrubs?" from Ard Trace: "How would telepathy actually work? Would it be fuzzy like those AI images?

This week, we and guest Lieven Scheire all ruminate about a new job: Fart Safety Officer. Meanwhile, Trace get’s SALTY thinking about what if the oceans weren’t and Julian calculates the pure pasty reflectiveness of the Britons.

Julian rolls into yet another extremely nerdy community and fires rounds left and right. Meanwhile, Trace calls his mom to help answer a question from a kid. As long as we're not on the subject though, what do tree trunks and military tanks have in common? They’re both flammable. QUESTIONS Julian: "Who would win: Dragons vs WW2 tanks” - Tim Trace: “Why are trees Green and Brown why not purple or something else?” - Rhonda Do you have an absurd question?

Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo, Julian’s got a blueberry question for you… Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee, it you are wise you'll listen to … this podcast?? What do you get from a hose to space? “Is it a straw or a siphon,” asked Trace?
