About this episode

The episode explores the science behind cheese and airflow while addressing absurd questions from listeners.

This week, Trace turns a completely normal human behavior into a full-blown scientific investigation, uncovering how airflow, temperature, and mouth geometry can make you feel like you’re secretly developing budget-tier superpowers. Meanwhile, Julian takes a bold step forward for both science and dairy by stress-testing the limits of cheese in a scenario it was never meant to survive. Along the way: thermodynamics, questionable engineering choices, and the realization that just because something can exist in a lava-like state doesn’t mean it should . QUESTIONS Julian: “How much cheese could protect the space shuttle?” from Adam Trace: “Why is it when you breathe like hooo it’s cold but when you breathe like haaaaa it’s hot?” from Tater 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?
