Oh No the Goalie is… Everywhere | feat. Tom Scott | TAPE Classic
Hi fellow nerds! As many of you may know, Julian is back at school as an engineering student. As many of you may ALSO know, that's freakin' hard! So to give Julian a bit of a break, we're re-airing one of our favorite TAPE classics featuring friend-of-the-Absurd, Tom Scott. Please enjoy the episode as much as we do, and see you guys very soon with a brand new episode! 🤘

You’re at a hockey game. You grabbed nachos and your favorite sports beverage. The Mighty Ducks are playing their rivals, and you look away from the ice to take a selfie with a selfie stick so long you have to brace it against your hip to snap the pic.
As you smile with your crew, a flash of white light envelops the stadium as the air catches fire. The noise is deafening. When you whip around, you see a hole in the stadium where the Duck’s goal used to be … outside the full moon is melting. You wonder if the nachos would taste good covered in moon cheese. You snap the photo.
Ohhhh, the good ol’ hockey game; it’s the best game you can name, and the best game you can name? It’s the good old hockey game.
QUESTIONS
Trace: "Theoretically, how long could you make a selfie stick?" from Tom Scott
Tom: "Would it be possible to hit a hockey puck so hard that when it hits the goalie, they fly backward through the net and hit the back wall?" from Steven
Julian: "What if the moon was actually made of cheese?" from Cody, and seprately, Shane
