#579 - Can You Answer This Science Question?
The boys of The Basement Yard return from a chaotic cold open (Frank taking a call from his mom mid-intro) to announce a massive new batch of 2027 tour dates, then spiral through a series of increasingly unhinged tangents: a mortifying package mishap involving a book about sexual deception, an ice-borrowing encounter that violated every unwritten neighbor rule, a deep dive into sad mid-2000s songs, and Frank's genuinely surprising science question about whether data has weight — which, plot twist, he kind of wins.
