Hi All! Trace and Julian are taking a bit of a break this week but fear not, we still have some content for you! This is one of our favorite old episodes where Julian learns the REAL alphabet, also known as the ABG’s (not a typo); Trace discovers we are all constantly online whether we like it or not by exploring the mysteries of WiFi; and special guest Dr Virginia Schutte dives into a super-powered animal propelled by twerking.

QUESTIONS

Virginia: “What if humans had mantis shrimp powers?” from listener Samara D

Julian: "Who invented alphabetical order?" from listener Paul P

Trace: "Where is the internet?" from guest Virginia Schutte, PhD

Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a 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!

Submit questions directly to us thatsabsurdshow.com/ask or email them to hello at thatsabsurdshow.com. We'll give you a shout out in the episode if we use your question!
