It’s like Rocket Science, but Dumber | Pod 40
When Trace was a kid he was a sleepwalker. His parents closed the door to his bedroom. They heard him bonking against the door over and over. They love to tell this story. Now I'm telling you! Sleepwalking is weird, right? Are we the only ones who do that? Julian looks into it.
Plus, as long as we’re wondering things … have you ever wondered if you could fling an animal into space? Like a marmot or a coyote! Could a coyote actually go to orbit on top of a giant pile of TNT? (He definitely isn’t going to catch that pesky road runner; does anyone under 30 even get this reference?). Trace explores what is clearly a Julian-focused question.
🧨 Happy Fireworks Week Americans 🎆 and a Happy Early July to everyone else!
QUESTIONS
Julian: "Are humans the only animal that sleepwalks?" from Henry (via his mom, Becca)
