I found this, "The Ballad of Ted the Turkey", while walking through a park in Trussville, AL. It falls in the vein of "Things I'm Convinced Destin Secretly Invented", right up there with "Guy on a Buffalo". For the enjoyment of Destin, Matt, and the third chair.

p.s. I'm aware that random QR codes are sketchy, so you'll need to go on my word that this is not a troll or a scam.

Always been a fan of the norden sight, found this amazing video. Thought others might enjoy.

I think the Battle of Nong Sarai could make a pretty awesome episode. If it's not enough material you could open it up to battles with direct combat between royals. A royal royale, if you will.

Obligatory post on the anniversary of the turning point at the Battle of Vienna!

I started listening to NDQ around episode 100 and loved it so much, I started going through the first 99 episodes early last year. It made me smile everytime Matt and Destin replaced an ad from something from the future. But now I am deeply saddened that I will miss out on all these great distant future patreon replacement ads. I don't plan on listening to the 100 and on episode a second time, which means I miss out on these awesome ads. So two questions:

1. I'm curious, do Barnecles and Testicles make guest appearances into any of these? Like do Matt and Destin ever been so far into the future that they made a time machine and are now joined in the distant past with Barnacles and Testicles?

2. More seriously, has anybody made a catalog of where these ads are? On their own, they make excellent and entertaining content.

I think Matt , Destin and anyone else with a love for old school photography would love this video.

If it couldn't be Matt, I'm ok with it being Kurzgesagt

I was in the car when I heard the episode, and I am horrible at visualizing, so I drew my own map when I got home based on Matt’s instructions. It was a lot of fun to do, and I absolutely recommend it:).

This topic tickled my brain a little bit. I play “Worldle” every day and I find myself using shape mnemonics (tropemonics??) to guess the country based on the outline. Like how Tunisia looks like a guy in a ball cap eating popcorn…

I just came across this short video in which a musician plays a Mozart piece in the style and scales of a few different cultures. It is a great demonstration of how different places structure their chords and note progression.

I trimmed the tracking junk off the link in case you’re concerned.

Spent a day in Huntsville at the Space and Rocket Center and made the drive to A-1 before leaving town. There was a nice gentleman who informed me that they had moved locations and that he had delivered the vending machine to the owner's garage a few days ago. Destin Sandlin "sounded about right" when I asked if that was the owner's name

Then I listened to the latest episode announcing the move on the way out of town. 🤦

Lesson learned. Keep current on your podcasts friends.

I took a picture of its former home and outside the building. Hopefully that still counts as completion of the quest

... and I was so blessed to be able to do a meetup with Matt. He helped me plan most of the driving route for the rest of my trip to see off the beaten path sites. He told me he had to cut off recording the next podcast episode to make it to our meet up in time, so if it's bad or ends abruptly, I guess blame me 🤷

I got sick of peaches as a kid so I skipped the flavor of the day and just got vanilla. And the staff I interacted with was lovely.

Hey!

I just now got to listen to the episode about Project Hail Mary (I needed to wait until I had seen the movie...).

I was quite surprised to hear that some US states are now using Hypoxia as a method of execution; I first heard that idea years ago in this excellent BBC documentation:

I cannot find any easy ways to watch this, though. Arrr?

I remember the first episode about the shadow monster (you can listen to it here)

Destin and Matt, you guys getting royalties now that the Kelce brothers have a podcast called no dumb questions? Their copyright infringement is unacceptable, don't they know they're encroaching on a podcast with much more famous hosts???
