I’m Not The Expert But..

Pól and Derek share their completely amateur and often funny takes on a varied array of topics from Quantum Physics, to the latest episode of South Park and everything in between. So get comfy, and put the kettle on.. The very excellent music we use in our intro is by: https://soundcloud.com/musicbyaden (We claim no ownership of it whatsoever).

Ten Cent Beer Night

Friday Feb 02, 2024

Friday Feb 02, 2024

In the history of bad ideas in sports, this ranks as one of the worst. There's probably a "worst ideas in sports" list somewhere on the internet and if TEN CENT BEER NIGHT isn't in the top ten of that list, I'd be surprised & alarmed in equal measure. 
"Suprised" because the author of that list doesn't think Ten Cent Beer Night is worthy enough (or has never heard of it) and;
"Alarmed" because that means there's 10 worse ideas out there. 
Yikes.
If you've never heard of Ten Cent Beer Night before, rectify that right now! It's crazy and you'll love it!
If you have heard of Ten Cent Beer Night before, you'll know what we're talking about, but treat yourself to the story again, you deserve it.

In part 2 of The Ology of Earthquakes, we find out if Fukushima was a mere Diablo Canyon 2 (from The Simpsons) or if it came close to a Chernobyl-type scenario?
(Hint - it was the latter).
We discuss one of the worst disasters in recorded history; the 2004 tsunami that brought so much devastation to the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean - and also just how far the tsunami reached before it ran out of energy.
We'll also tell you how Greek legends fit in with earthquakes. Be sure to hold onto your hat for this one..it's a bit dark and more than a bit disturbing.

The Ology of Earthquakes

Thursday Jan 04, 2024

Thursday Jan 04, 2024

Earthquakes are ever-present. There are a million or so quakes around the world every year, ranging from the most innocuous tremors to the catastrophic scenarios we all think of when we hear the term "earthquake".
Join us as we dive into the science behind earthquakes in a very amateur fashion because hey(!), we're all about the amateur angle!
This is starting 2024 of on a really good footing, if you'll excuse the parlance.

IT’S THE CHRISTMAS EPISODE! It’s festive and it’s fun and it’s festive again.
But if you think it’s all festive fun & shit, all I’ll say is; “Yeah, you keep thinking that”. There’s some traditions waaaay worse than telling your kid that if they don’t behave, they’ll only get a lump of coal for Christmas. Have a listen to find out what they are…I guarantee, they’ll surprise you, and maybe mildly shock you too.
MERRY KRAMPUS & A GRYLA NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
SEE YOU IN 2024..

J’ever hear a fact that stopped you dead in your tracks and an involuntary “WHAT!?” escaped your mouth without warning? Or heard something so unbelievable, so ludicrous that your very essence absolutely refused to believe it? Well, here’s a bunch of them..they might not all illicit the responses just mentioned but we guarantee, they will illicit a response.
It’s with great pleasure that we introduce the very first episode of INTEB’s: Believe it or Not* (complete with our own unique twist on the title).
*This episode owes BIG thanks and a huge debt of gratitude to Andrew Kavanagh for yet another glorious poop anecdote. The Godfather ain’t got nuthin, meet the Plopfather, y’all.

Sharks have been swimming in the oceans of the world for an estimated 450 million years - EVEN BEFORE TREES EXISTED!
The Great White, probably the most famous shark of them all, has developed a very bad & somewhat undeserved reputation over the years. 
An amazing animal, it's one of nature's most incredible predators, but it's not alone. Not by a long shot. Join us for the most incredible dive into sharks (pun very much intended). 
However, we can't call this a deep dive because there's just too much to fit into just one episode. Or even two. Think of this as more of a wade through a shark-infested paddling pool. This is gonna be one to revisit somewhere down the road...
Welcome to season 2!
