Hey all! This week, we're rebroadcasting a very memorable TAPE episode from last June to give ourselves a bit of a break: Julian's flight school classes started up again in full force and Trace is traveling back and forth to Brazil to visit his partner while they're undergoing their IVF journey. Don't you fret, though, because this episode contains ⚡️SHOCKING⚡️ and 🪽SOARING🪽 content! Trace tries to inhale a lethal dose of ozone from a bunch of sweaters and Julian finally receives free rein to talk about aviation as much as he wants... but not in the way you'd expect. Thanks for tuning in, and see you next week with a brand new episode!

—

Setting: Dry, warm evening in a small pub in Los Angeles.

Deputy Julian: "Whew-whee! What's that smell?!"

Detective Kyle (with a light drawl): "That's ozone, Julian. Something out of this world happened in this English phone box."

Dep. Julian (looking up at the sky): "By out of this world…you mean up there in the sky?"

Det. Kyle: sighs heavily

Dep. Julian: "I'm going to go check!"

Julian unfurls his giant grotesque wings. After a few large flaps, he has risen into the air. He begins sweating profusely.

Dep. Julian: "GAH, I should've taken off this heavy sweatshirt!"

Det. Kyle: Pulls out his bubble pipe "Bye, LaForge. I think you've got it!"

QUESTIONS

Julian: "Could humans ever actually evolve to have the ability to fly? How hard would it be?" from Madeline

Trace: "How many sweatshirt you have to remove to inhale a lethal dose of ozone created by static discharge?" from Phillippe

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!
