    Either You Iocaine or You 1-0-can’t | TAPE Classic
    Apr 2 2026
    DescriptionHi all! As I'm sure those of you with the patience to sit through the end credits know, the show is edited and produced by Kyle Sisk. Kyle is the glue holding this podcast together, taking the loose collection of pocket lint that makes up the brains of the two hosts and stitching it together into a beautiful audio tapestry. Without Kyle there truly would be no show. How do we know this? Because this week, we had no Kyle. Kyle came down with COVID and this man STILL tried to get an episode cut together in time for our regular upload. Ultimately we decided his recovery is more important than an arbitrary deadline for a silly show where we're probably going to be talking about dogs made of spaghetti or something, and so this week will be another of our old favorites. Please enjoy!In this episode, it's a battle of (nit)wits! Trace discovers the deadly truth about poison immunity while Julian figures out how to make the worst numbering system imaginable.QuestionsJulian: "Can you still do maths using a unary (base 1) numeral system?" from MasonTrace: "How long would it have taken Westley to build up his immunity to iocaine powder?" from TessaDo 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?

  • Sumptuous 'Saurus Soars in a Seriously Staticky Sweater | TAPE Classic

    Sumptuous 'Saurus Soars in a Seriously Staticky Sweater | TAPE Classic
    Mar 26 2026
    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 heavilyDep. 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!"QUESTIONSJulian: "Could humans ever actually evolve to have the ability to fly? How hard would it be?" from MadelineTrace: "How many sweatshirt you have to remove to inhale a lethal dose of ozone created by static discharge?" from PhillippeDo 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?

Educational and fun!
