The early part of this century saw an explosion of television shows demonstrating extreme survival skills. I am talking about Survivor, Naked and Afraid, Man VS Wild, or anything Bear Grylls stars in. I think this was really to show how far we humans have gone from nature. We have lost almost all of our […]
Let’s say you work with classified documents, or you just have a boring job you want to forget. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just turn off your brain as you entered work and turned it back on when you left the building? You know, give the heavy lifting to your unconscious or whatever. […]
Beetlejuice has been called “The Ghost with the Most”, but the most of what? Is there something special that he has that other ghosts in the afterlife don’t have? The short answer is YES, and it involves the Deadon particle. Don’t worry, we explain everything for you in this episode. These give him the power […]
My guess is that most people listening to this episode will NOT find themselves lost in a fantasy dungeon (unless it is while playing a game of D&D of course). However should you, it may become necessary to start catching and eating monsters. Luckily the Brain Trust has just finished watching the anime “Delicious in […]
Humans are visual creatures, but we still rely heavily on our auditory senses to navigate the world. We are also loud by nature, which is why New York City is constantly at 90 decibels. My point is this: If our survival is dependent on staying silent, I think we are doomed. Most of us at […]
Tornadoes are one of the most truly devastating forces in nature. They can appear out of nowhere, destroy entire towns, and then disappear without a trace. They are categorized not by their power, but by the amount of damage they cause. So how do these killer vortexes form? And why are they almost exclusively a […]
At the end of the last episode things looked pretty bleak. Highly advanced aliens are on their way and they are stifling our scientific breakthroughs. But humans are resilient. The aliens call us bugs, but nothing is more hardy than the cockroach. But what can we do? Well we specialize in out of the box […]
The TV show “3 Body Problem” introduces a major conundrum for humanity: Aliens are on their way, and there is nothing we can do about it. Are they friendly? Are they hostile? Who knows (Who am I kidding, we all know they will eventually turn on us)? There is an upside though: It will take […]
“When Hell Freezes Over” is a common saying, but what does it even mean? Sure religious doctrine would have you believe that Hell is a place of fire and brimstone, full of lakes of lava, overcooked burritos, nuclear meltdowns, and other really hot stuff. But we also talk about the chill of the grave, and […]
We have been taught that Superman is the icon for truth, justice, and the American way. He is the ultimate superhero, and always does what it right. He is also an alien with more strength and power than anything we can imagine. There are no counters to him. Well except Kryptonite which is unbelievably rare. […]
We’ve discussed how to build your own underground bunker, but what if you let a company like Vault-Tek do that for you? In the world of Fallout, Vault-Tek is not the most trustworthy company. They blew up the entire world to eliminate their competition! While I do respect their hustle, it does leave the world […]

There are very few characters that truly stand the test of time. Superman and Batman are almost 90, but there are peaks and valleys to their popularity. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been consistently in the spotlight since the mid-80’s, which is a feat in my opinion. As everyone knows, despite being 40 years […]
History is littered with tragic events, things that change the course of your life. Some events have the magnitude to change the social order of the world itself. What if you could go back and right these wrongs? Who among us wouldn’t go back and stop 9/11, or prevent the holocaust? Well this week, we […]
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if during major moments of your life you simply made a different decision? You know, went left instead of right? What would your life be like now? Well thanks to our old friend Quantum Physics, that decision happened, and that alternate reality exists. And if that life […]
Fighting crime is a dangerous business. In the best of circumstances, you have keep your senses sharp, and maintain your focus at all times. Seeing your enemy and hearing their movements are vital to your success, but what if you can’t see or hear? What do you do then? Well for Daredevil who is blind, […]
He-Man is a Master of the Universe, and he is granted that status by The Power of Greyskull. But what is this power? We are a science show, so we believe there is no such thing as magic…or is there? Is magic it’s own force that bind the physics of Eternia? How can it turn […]
The shark is the ultimate killing machine. It does three things: swim, eat, reproduce. It has a conveyor belt of teeth which basically makes it a large, living, underwater chainsaw. The only thing that would make it deadlier is to make it bigger. Enter the Megalodon, which was just like out great white sharks, except […]
For any kid, the prospect of touring a magical chocolate factory is a dream come true, especially one whose secrets have been hidden for decades. If you are one of the lucky few with a Golden Ticket, your life will never be the same. See, Willy Wonka is not a run of the mill chocolatier: […]
Who among us hasn’t wanted to find a magical lamp complete with a resident Genie to give us three wishes? Heck, I would even take a monkey paw, knowing full well that I have to phrase things exactly right to avoid unintended dire consequences. Well this week, the Brain Trust assembles to discuss wishes, how […]
