Cloudy with a Chance of Blunt Force Trauma

About this episode

The episode explores the implications of food-based weather inspired by the movie 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'.

This week, Trace and Julian accidentally stumble into what may be the most in-depth discussion of a certain food-based weather movie ever recorded. To determine whether giant pancakes, spaghetti tornadoes, and burger-based weather systems would actually be fun or the beginning of humanity’s downfall, Trace recruits our associate producer, Sabrina Capello. Longtime listeners may know her as the person who bullies us on social media, but today she joins the show in her true role: professional opinion haver and alarmingly dedicated Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs expert. What begins as a whimsical thought experiment quickly turns into a shocking investigation into a world far more horrifying than the movie ever suggests. QUESTIONS Trace: “Should it start raining food tomorrow (i.e. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), what would be the worst food weather?” from Connor 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!
