#100—A 100 Conspiracy Thunk Tank Celebration

Thunk Tank Podcast — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 16:41:18 -0500

We made it to 100 episodes! Since one of our first episodes was about conspiracy theories, we thought that it was the perfect way to celebrate this big milestone. I can't tell you if we actually made it to 100 conspiracies, but I can at least say we probably had a combined 100 units of beer.

Thanks for sticking with us this long, and here's to 100 more episodes of insanity!

#96—A Tribute to Frank Costanza

Thunk Tank Podcast — Tue, 19 May 2020 16:13:04 -0500

He proudly served his country in the Korean War. Some say he was the best cook Uncle Sam ever had—slinging hash for the fighting 103rd. He was a salesman who once spoke to the Unification Church leader Sun Myung Moon. He enjoys collecting TV Guides, invented an alternative to Christmas (Festivus), and developed a male bra to hold up his bosomy chest.

I am talking about none other than Queen's Frank Costanza, who appeared in 29 episodes of Seinfeld. Of course Frank is fictional, but to insane Seinfeld fans like ourselves, he is an archetype in our model of reality. So enjoy this tribute episode to one of the greatest TV characters of all time. See you in the tank!

#95—Is Bigfoot Real?

Thunk Tank Podcast — Sun, 10 May 2020 21:09:26 -0500

You've probably heard of the big hairy upright-walking ape-like monster known as Bigfoot. Maybe you've even seen one of them...or maybe your camera lens is dirty. Also known as Sasquatch, this beast is thought to roam the forests of North America. But is this all bullshit? Or is there something being hidden here?

I don't know, but it was certainly fun to get drunk while trying to figure it out. Enjoy, and see you in the tank!

Episode 92—Tales from Luke and Johnny's College House 'The Burrow'

Thunk Tank Podcast — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 15:26:24 -0500

Many years ago, Luke and Johnny Genie lived together in a legendary house. To those who partied there, it was known as "The Burrow". To those who lived in the quaint neighborhood within which The Burrow existed, it was known as the asshole party house that got loudly waisted most weeknights.

Either way, there are many great stories from that time. Enjoy our nostalgic and psychotic walk down memory lane as we reflect on our time at "The Burrow". See you in the tank.

Episode 87—Coronavirus Updates: UBI, Money, Federal Reserve

Thunk Tank Podcast — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 00:27:42 -0500

It's only been a week since our last coronavirus episode, but too much happened to talk about anything else. In this episode, we talk about various coronavirus updates including the potential UBI that will be sent to Americans while we are stuck at home and out of work.

How much money will we get? How does the Federal Reserve just print money? How does federal debt work? We can't promise you'll get complete answers to any of those questions, but we definitely tried to answer them. Either way, it should be a fun distraction from the chaos. See you in the tank!

Episode 77 -- Human Beings: Romantic Meatballs in Space

Thunk Tank Podcast — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 21:59:37 -0500

If you take a strictly materialistic perspective on the world, then you could argue that a human being is essentially a meatball. We are just a conglomeration of atoms that happen to have consciousness. But the religious person could argue that this revelation removes meaning and purpose from the world. Is objective reality the only truth we should believe in? Should the word “believe” even be in the same sentence as "objective truth"? Can you capture the beauty, meaning, and mystery of the human experience through only the objective and fact-based world of science?

This episode explores the tension between these viewpoints over some delicious craft beer. And we may or may not also explore what it would be like to make spaghetti and meatballs on the space station.

Episode 71 - "The Egg" by Andy Weir

Thunk Tank Podcast — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 17:36:48 -0500

This episode is a reaction to a short story titled "The Egg" by Andy Weir. You can find a written version of the story here (in many languages as well), or you can watch this beautiful narration on Kurzgesagt's Youtube channel. We recommend reading or watching the story first. It's a pretty serious and moving journey, but don't worry--as our 3rd episode recorded in one night it was balanced with the right amount of beer and thunk. See you in the tank!

Episode 48 - Have Fewer Opinions

Thunk Tank Podcast — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 00:23:12 -0500

In this episode we drank craft beer as usual and concluded a really strong opinion: we all should have fewer opinions. Why do we feel entitled to an opinion on everything? Do we vocalize our opinions in order to change the world or are we simply trying to prestige signal to our social groups? We dive into these questions, and more, along with a mind-bending "would you rather?" towards the end of the episode.

Thunk Tank Podcast — Fri, 28 Dec 2018 23:14:22 -0500

Well 2018 was a pretty weird year so there was way too much to talk about. We covered a range of 2018 topics including the creepy magic of Santa, the porn star banging by President Trump, and the possibility that our simulation overlords are turning up the weirdness just to mess with us.

We also talked about some of the weirdest news stories of 2018, including China’s plan to build an artificial moon (aka space mirror) and the discovery that crows sometimes try to mate with their dead friends. We hope you survived 2018, thanks for listening, and Happy New Year to all!!
