That's Absurd Please Elaborate

Inexplicable Spider-Man Episode


Listen Later

For some reason Julian and Trace both selected Spider-Man related questions. We felt like two Tobey Maguires dancing down the street in perfect sync. Julian critiques Spidey’s famous swingy transportation, and Trace learns a lot from New York City* train nerds.

QUESTIONS

Julian: "Does it actually make sense for Spider-Man to web swing? Shouldn’t he run?" from Jaron

Trace: "How much spiderweb would it take to stop an elevated train in New York?" from Brendan

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!
