💫 Gravity’s got us hooked—literally and literarily—as Richard kicks off the show by announcing, “I’m reading a book about gravity…

💩 From there, things get weirdly educational:

Did you know wombats poop in cubes? That’s right—square-shaped poop. It helps them mark their territory without it rolling away. Nature is practical... and just a little unsettling.

🎬 It’s 1987 rewind time with two cinematic classics:

🪐 Spaceballs (1987)

🕴️ The Untouchables (1987)

🌿🧠 We bring it back to the classroom with another round of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”

Q: What gas do plants breathe in that humans and animals breathe out?

Q: What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 8 inches and width of 3 inches?

Q: How many continents are there?

Q: What’s the past tense of “go”?

Q: True or False: Bats are mammals?

📚 Richard also shares his thoughts on Market in the Maelstrom by Harmon Cooper—a LitRPG that blends chaos, commerce, and character progression. If you like your leveling systems with a side of existential dread, this one’s for you.

🦴💀 Why don’t skeletons fight each other?

We kick things off with bone-dry humor and dive straight into the deep end of weird animal facts.

🦥🐬 In today’s showdown of breath-holding beasts: sloths vs. dolphins! Shockingly, sloths can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes, while dolphins only manage around 15. Nature’s laziest creature is also one of its sneakiest swimmers. Who knew?

📚 Book Corner gets a little spooky this week:

Jesse shares a creepy thriller about a mysterious picture that changes each time it’s looked at, revealing increasingly sinister details. Haunted art? Creepy metaphors? We’re not sure—but we’re keeping the lights on.

Richard dove into Never Flinch by Stephen King, where the chills are steady, the suspense is sharp, and the lesson is clear: if you’re going to flinch… flinch later.

🎬 Then we rewind to the golden year of 1986 for two movie classics that shaped our childhood (and maybe warped our humor):

🤖 Short Circuit:

🎡 Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:

🧠🧒 Wrap things up with our New “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” quiz:

What planet is known as the Red Planet?

If you eat 3 out of 8 pizza slices, what fraction is left?

What is the capital of Florida?

What type of word is “quickly” in the sentence, “The rabbit ran quickly”?

Who was the first President of the United States?

(Yes, “Pizza” is a tempting answer for every question, but no—it’s not always right.)

📻 Tune in for jokes, facts, film flashbacks, and just enough weirdness to keep your brain guessing. Whether you’re into 80s robots, haunted portraits, or sloth trivia, this episode’s got something for everyone—no flinching required.
