We discuss what big numbers are and why they are so important! Then of course we address very interesting examples of big numbers, such as the amount of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy… the approximate number of grains of sand in a beach and the amount of molecules that are in one singular breath of air. So enjoy an entertaining, practical and fact-packed episode on the big numbers that surround us.

Guest Star:

Matthew Broussard; Matthew Broussard is a disgraced financial analyst forced into stand up comedy. The byproduct of a Cajun chemist and Jewish microbiologist, he holds a degree in computational mathematics that he always manages to bring up (just did it!) and is fully aware of how douchey he looks. His comedy is heady, self-effacing, and weirdly… educational? He's performed on the Tonight Show, Conan, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, the Comedy Central Half Hour, and some stuff with MTV2 he doesn’t like to talk about. You can catch him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The League, The Mindy Project, and alongside Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in the film Here Today. And last but not least, he is the creator of the webcomic and puzzle app, Monday Punday.
