Happy Fourth, everyone! A lot of diet talk on this week's show, from an oral implant that helps you lose weight by making sure your mouth stays shut, to Kim Jong-un's weight loss after reemerging from his month-long hiatus. It's surely going to be a Hot Boy Summer for the Supreme Leader. We wrap up the show with a star spangled draft in honor of Independence Day.

In this episode we are joined by UVA Law's Dean of Admissions, Natalie Blazer. We discuss the process of applying to Law School, the LSAT, and how law school prepares you to become a lawyer.

If you are in a mid-atlantic state right now, you might be hearing a loud hum outside equivalent to a lawn mower or a motorcycle. But your idiot neighbor never mows despite repeated requests from the HOA and you finished Sons of Anarchy in the beginning of the pandemic. No, what you’re hearing is the sound of the periodical cicadas, magicicadas if we’re being specific.These harmless but annoying insects emerge from the soil every 13 or 17 years to feed, mate, and party for 4-6 weeks before the next generation of eggs falls from the trees and boroughs in for the long nap until it’s their turn to move out of the house and get a job 17 years later.We won’t see this brood of cicadas till 2038 so you better learn as much as you can quickly before they all die and you can forget it all and go back to living your life. That’s future you’s problem to ask what these things have to do with prime numbers. And don’t you worry. We’ll still be here to tell you, cause this is Tell Me What You Know.JumpLink Beta Test: https://jump.link 

Welcome to a brand new episode and season of Tell Me What You Know. We know you have missed us. In this episode of Tell Me What You Know, we are discussing Space Trash. AKA Space Junk. AKA Space Debris. This is all the crap left orbiting the earth at 17,000 miles per hour after being launched into space on the many thousands of missions over the year. Large things like satellites, dead boosters, and the International Space Station down to tiny objects and flecks of paint. This might not seem like something we need to worry about with the great vastness of space but we’ll learn about a possible future called the Kessler Syndrome where the earth becomes engulfed in these tiny bullets that makes space travel too dangerous. We’ll look at ways we are trying to mitigate problematic future and ideas for cleaning up space. We’re excited to be back on Tell Me What You Know.

We're coming back May 24th with a new episode! We'll be looking at Space Trash. We also have some information about changes to the show and what to expect going forward. Glad we are coming back! Sorry for the vacation. Now Tell Me What You Know.

On this episode of Tell Me What You Know we’re venturing into the World of NFTs, Non-Fungible Tokens. This is yet another crypto related topic that people between the ages of 16 and 35 are discussing as the next big thing. It leaves most of us asking, what exactly is an NFT and why are people spending so much money on them? Is this new technology the next form of digital art? Will it save the music and entertainment industry? Or is this simply the latest tulip bubble that will pop and leave 24 year olds staring at a USB stick full of overpriced JPEGs? Come get educated on this abbreviation I’m sure you are seeing everywhere. I guarantee at the end of the episode you’ll be able to define fungible. Also please purchase each of our episodes as a newly released NFT. They’ll be worth big money some day. Welcome to Tell Me What You Know.
