#18 DISCLAIMER: DO NOT LICK FROZEN FLAGPOLES
Aug 21, 2022 Season 1 Episode 18
Will Riihiluoma and Ian McKeag

When Flick is triple dog dared to touch his tongue to the frozen flagpole in his school's courtyard, it's his honor on the line. With his friends watching, he cautiously places his tongue on the pole, before realizing (a moment too late) that the warmth of his body is not enough to keep his saliva unfrozen and separate from the pole. In this episode we learn about temperature, in particular the phenomenon of conduction!

Topics of Discussion:

  • Apologies to Matt
  • Discussions of Disclaimers
  • An update on some movies we've seen
  • Ralphie's Frozen Friends (and why Flick can't Let It Go)
  • A Boy Named Flick
  • Conduction!
  • Wetsuits!
  • The return of the Ant Man (and the physics of Pym particles)
