Q&A Episode! We are recording tonight. Have any good/dumb questions?

Yo what's up we are recording tonight. We're using this entire episode to answer Patron questions. The title of the podcast is "No Dumb Questions" but we have decided to allow some as long as they're all directed at Matt of course. And by "we have decided" obviously we mean "Destin has decided". Ask your questions here and ♥️ the ones you want us to answer. Let's do this! Destin

041 - Probing Space, and Rocket CEOs

We've done several deep-dive, single-topic episodes, but none that are so completely sciencey as this one. This one includes a description of Destin's front row seat to something ground-breaking and wonder-inspiring. Enjoy!

That Unfortunate Nickelback Post Will Make More Sense After This Episode

Destin and I found ourselves reminded once again that we are different enough to do a podcast. I'd love to hear which of our two recent experiences would be more likely to be transcendent for you.\

Don't worry, it's not because we're in a fight. It's for science.

In this episode, we discuss what Matt said when I told him I was quitting my job.

He said "Congrats... On a Life With Chapters".  Which kind of sent me into a tailspin for a while mentally.  In this episode we discuss all the feels.  The patenting feels, the career feels, the "holy cow my life just changed" feels.  I'm grateful to be able to process this stuff through with a brain like Matt's.  I'm also grateful that he pushes back on me at times and doesn't just say what he thinks I want to hear.

Here's another one of those Destin-does-science and Matt-does-history topical episodes

I think this one's a delight. We're talking about one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the only one of the seven that might not have existed at all. 

I hope you have as much fun listening as we had putting it together.

Also, just in case you forgot, you Winged Hussars completely rule and we can't possibly say thank you enough times to express properly our appreciation.

Special deleted sequence for Patrons only

Please let me know if you enjoy this as a special patron bonus. If so, we'll do more of this in the future.

Gracias,

Here's the New One!

We get pretty deep into three very interesting topics on this one, including something genuinely redemptive.

Also, patrons, please see the patrons-only post above that includes the sequence we ultimately decided to pull from the final public-consumption version of this episode.

We appreciate you!

How much harder is it to refute bull crap than to produce it?

Here's episode 36. Thanks for being awesome and making this podcast happen Hussars.

Happy Easter from Matt and Destin

Lol.  We both think the Easter Bunny is ridiculous.  So ridiculous in fact that I just spent a good 7 seconds trying to figure out if I'm supposed to capitalize it or not.  Regardless of our own personal feelings, about bunnies and Jesus, eggs, or whatever....when we walked out of Ready Player One at the Big D movie theater and saw this bunny sitting there all creepy like... we knew what had to happen.

030 - Visiting the Rocket Range

Thank you for helping us make this possible via Patronizing us.  And by "this" I mean sitting down by the river skipping rocks with Matt talking about how it felt for him to visit the rocket range.  Oh, and how climate change affects abortion, but that's another issue.  I would also like to apologize for Matt's horrible singing.

Regards,

Thanks for supporting NDQ. We know people have very differing views on topics like this, but it means a lot that we can kick it around together honestly.

You're awesome!

028 - Volunteer Hangman

This one gets pretty serious. As always, it's kid safe, but very weighty, and there are conversations about hangings.

Other Than Destin Getting Crushed, This One Was Fun

Toward the end of this one, we talk about acronyms and mnemonic devices. We'll share the best ones you've got on the next episode. 

Thanks as always!

No women, nor anyone was actually crushed in the recording of this episode.

Thanks for the thoughts on Net Neutrality - Here's the new one

Thanks for being a part of the podcast. Great thoughts on the previous post - looking forward to the conversation here. I'm listing this post as patrons only, because I plan to engage more here on this topic than on the subreddit.

Gracias,

We're recording right now and Destin and I are in a bitter fight over net neutrality.

022 - Jedi Are Morons

Most movies don't move the cultural needle nearly enough to merit an entire episode, but Star Wars films are the exception. There are philosophical elements of this show that we're going to kick around, and also there's green monster breast milk. We need to talk about that too.

This is one of those Destin be all sciencey and Matt be all humanitiesey episodes

Ancient treasures? Super secret stuff lost for millennia? Mysteries? Yeah sign me up.
This topic tripped both of our wonder triggers and I bet it's going to do the same for you.

Episode 20 comes out later today, and it might be my favorite. Here's some homework to prepare. (From Matt)

We've got a guest joining us this time around, and I think you're going to love the conversation. Watching these two videos before you listen isn't necessary, but it might make the experience more fun:
