I listen to one episode to learn something, but realised you don’t know anything about you did talk about. All you did was making stupid jokes about certain people. If you don’t agree with some since and technology and to not bother researching the facts about it, it’s better to say nothing than the rubbish that comes out of your mouth. I tried to finish the episode but it was hard to do it.
Love these guys - this is my go to podcast to listen to while cooking and I have to say they are crackup. Perfect combo of comedy, science and distraction. Love it.

Two hosts blend science, history, and culture with playful banter and accessible explanations, covering a wide range from cognitive science and genetics to bizarre animal biology and space-age topics. Episodes often pair meta-analyses, classic experiments, and real-world implications with humor, guest experts, and quirky tangents, yielding a brisk, entertaining learning experience that still leaves room for thoughtful takeaways on how science shapes everyday life. A notable strength is the approachable delivery of complex ideas, the willingness to tackle controversial or unusual subjects, and the way guests and data anchors are used to frame broader conversations about science communication.
What stands out: a consistent focus on making sc... more
