Learn It from a Layman

Dr. Kaid Harper, PhD in Organic Chemistry, joins the podcast along with returning guest soon-to-be-MD Dr. Jonny Neilson to discuss the chemistry of viruses and coronavirus in particular. We discuss the development of drugs and vaccines to combat viruses and steps necessary to bring them to the consumer. We also look at the effects of the coronavirus on various industries and how chemists soon will be online gamers.

We welcome Officer Gibbs to our podcast and ask him all our highway patrol questions such as: Which hurts worse, pepper spray or taser? What speed do you get pulled over at? What's the weirdest stop you've had? Officer Gibbs gives us a great overview of what life is like for a patrolman and great advice for what not to do when you get pulled over.

Join us in tackling the various aspects of music. From musical theory and the physics of sound waves, to the Shakespearean take on music and musical eras, we discuss what you need to know and why learning music is valuable. We recommend instruments to learn, talk music vocabulary, and explain sheet music.

We have a soon-to-be doctor visit the podcast, so of course we talk about home improvement. From claw hammers to the kitchen sink, we discuss all the ins and outs of home improvement projects that the layman can attempt, should attempt, or should definitely not attempt.

Where did our calendar come from? Why is December the twelfth month, not the tenth?  How do you make time slow down (other than by listening to this podcast)? We tackle these subjects and more as we explore the history and future of time and how it affects us.

Come learn about one of the least layman subjects from two laymen and a highly trained engineer. We give an overview of the laws of motion, discuss the differences between Newton and Einstein, and melt minds by discussing the closing speed of two beams of light. Plus we say hi to Cameron's dog.

Come explore costume ideas, Halloween traditions, and the best holiday foods with us. Plus, we discuss a haunted house scary-scale: if a 4 out of 5 means they can pick you up and throw you around, is 5 out of 5 torture? Join us to get some dos and don'ts for this Halloween season.

Join us as we discuss what polite means and why you should try it. Are people jerks or they just not smart? How do you learn to be polite? Should we bring back the "Korean era" in politeness?

With a combined nearly two decades worth of experience (and yes, we're still laymen as you'll hear), learn from us how to make your wife happy and keep your marriage strong.

We're back and at least as good as we were before. Come learn about Southern California's last snowfall, where the San Andreas fault is according to the Rock, and why SeaWorld is better than Disneyland in every meaningful way.
