Two guys solving problems that don't exist with the kind of deadpan confidence that makes you wonder if they're joking. They're not.

The guys dive into the bizarre world of Olympic ski jumpers inflating their junk with acid for better performance, unravel myths about the gender wage gap, and reveal shocking stats about American military eligibility. Along the way, they toss in thoughts on AI bots hiring humans, the anime Death Note, confusing atomic charges, government food subsidies, and how AI might be dumbing down reading skills.
