Massacring Mosquitoes with a Billion Bananas - An Episode Specifically for Hannah

Chatty Planties Under Twin Suns | feat Maren Hunsberger
Turns out plants are absolute CHATTERBOXES! They talk so much that they make Julian look like a silent partner (he’s not). Instead, he uses a silly German accent to accost our guest Maren Hunsberger all about plant communication. And, speaking of intense interrogations, Star Wars’ Tatooine gets a lot of play in the pop-science space news, but here at home having two suns is way hotter, and also (surprisingly) WAY COLDER!QUESTIONSJulian: "What would happen if our Solar System had two suns" from HannahMaren: "If plants ‘scream’ when cut, do they talk for other reasons?" from XanderDo you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food?

Americas? Gone. Half the Population? Gone! My Keys?... Uh Oh.
Let’s just wait a minute while everyone logs on… just a miiiiinnuuuuute, OK do we? I think… Yes, we have everyone! Welcome y’all to our weekly corporate roundtable, before we get started let’s all do some SNAPS for Norm for his Thanos Post-Mortem! The deck was amazing and I think there were some incredible insights to share. But today we’re throwing it over to Trace to speak to our MISSING AMERICAS strategic initiative, and then later, Julian will unpack the objectives and KEY reports which, I think will OPEN so MANY DOORS for our group moving forward. Okay? OK. Let’s get started! ✨️QUESTIONSTrace: "What if no Americas?" from SakariNorm Chan "What would be the real consequences of a Thanos' snap?

"I Flick My Space Boogers at You" - the Sun, Probably
Ever notice that our fingers seem to fit perfectly in our nostrils? Is... is that supposed to be like that? Our Patreon subscribers picked this little gem so Trace dug deep to find an answer.
