Coast to Coast Riding a Pizza Surfboard

About this episode

Julian and Trace explore absurd modes of transportation and answer quirky questions about pizza and travel.

If you’ve been itching for a cross-country trip, you could just book a flight like a normal person… but where’s the fun in that? This week, Julian (heroically) avoids talking about aviation and instead explores his second-favorite mode of transportation: a Mazda Miata outfitted with two Ferrari engines bolted to the sides. Yes, it has training wheels. No, that does not pass inspection. Meanwhile, Trace is busy figuring out if he can hang ten on a giant Detroit-style pepperoni pizza—which, shockingly, is *mostly* possible but, unshockingly, not very delicious. QUESTIONS Julian: “How fast would I have to go to coast from L.A. to New York?” from Alan Trace: “Is there any way that you could use a pizza, cooked or frozen, as a surfboard?” from Parker 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?
