🌶️ Why does coriander taste like soap to some people? How did TVs get so ridiculously cheap? And what’s really behind phrases like “cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey”?

In this episode of A Normal Meets A Nerd, Dylan and Darragh dive into:

🧊 The bizarre origin of the brass monkey saying

🦴 Why humans are (maybe) the only animals with a chin

🌀 What trypophobia actually is — and why so many people feel uneasy

😱 A deep dive into phobias and how they work in the brain

📺 The surprising economics behind modern television prices

🌿 Why coriander tastes soapy to some people (and delicious to others)

It’s quirky science, unexpected history and classic ANMAN chaos — normal meets nerd as always.

Thank you for listening!
