This week, we take a deep dive into interdisciplinary chaos theory as we learn about the inner workings of helicopters, tornadoes, butterflies and thermodynamic systems. We then find out how difficult it is to track down our favorite 2013 teen pop sensation “Lorde” these days. After that, my dad gives one of our new listeners some advice on how to get over the guilt of ending a one-sided friendship that has crossed the line into doing more harm than good. This episode is full of inquiries into ourselves and into the universe, sure to please and intrigue your wildest curiosities. Happy Monday friends, thanks for listening!
