I Was at the L.A. Protests. They’re Nothing Like What You’re Seeing on TV. Yes, there were a few burning Waymos. But it was mostly peaceful citizens defending their vulnerable neighbors.

Here’s what we look like trying to hit a 4 part harmony, and you can hear what that sounds like on today’s episode! 🎶

But why is it that we like the sound of harmony so much in the first place?

The wonderful DavidBennetPiano helps us answer that and all of our musical inquiries!

A painting of William Shakespeare with a hastily photo-shopped birthday hat next to the periodic table symbol for the element Protactinium

Yesterday was Shakespeare's birthday!! 🎉
But more importantly, how would he have pronounced protactinium? 🤔

On today's episode we solve 2 mysteries 🔎 What is the most boring element on the periodic table, and what did Shakespeare's accent sound like?

Catch it wherever you get podcasts!

White bin with the word “eyes” written on the lid in black ink

At my local eye clinic and there’s a bin that just said “eyes”

Is this where the broken eyes go? I certainly want it to be

There is not one but TWO churches in Italy with roughly 500 year old taxidermied crocodiles hanging from their ceilings.

What do you think their names are?

We've dropped a teaser of this year's special bonus episode: The Lab Rat Games. In which the crew act as a crazed three headed gameshow host to frighten and bamboozle each other and our wonderful guest, @sabrinacruz.bsky.social
