I couldn't think of a joke for this episode so instead here is a quote from my friend Kevin on coal: "Ah, the lifeblood of America. The resource our founding fathers treasured so much, that they declared to break away from the tyrannical British Empire so that we could have energy independence."

Hi! Listen in to what I deem the funniest episode yet, where I am tripping over myself to understand and hopefully get you to understand (as much as we can) about string theory. Even if you never wondered, there are some fun jokes and if you even just wanted to listen to me get dramatic over existence, it’s worth a listen!
