scHIGHence

We're back for our second season of everyone's favorite educational, marijuana-related podcast! In this episode, the boys dive into how the body works—from muscles, to brains, to something called “lymph”, they discuss almost every system in the body and how it does its job. And of course, their bodies have a healthy amount of THC doing its job as well. For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

In our 20th episode, Matt and Brandon are together in person and are ready to discuss flight! From blimps, to helicopters, to airplanes—hear Brandon explain why we're able to violate the ever‑so‑present law of gravity. Not only that, but you'll also get a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how the boys brainstorm new podcast ideas—is a tickling-based podcast in their future?!For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

In this episode, the boys talk about all things "sound"! Like, what is it? If a tree falls and no one's around to hear it, does it make any? What's the sound barrier and how do we store sound files on a computer? Tune in to learn more and also to hear Brandon call himself the "answer daddy" (which we know you've all secretly been waiting for).For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

In what might the episode with the lowest ratio of science to high, the boys tackle the question of why people die of old age. They then cover a menagerie of other topics like neutron stars, solar energy, and whether Albert Einstein was a nice guy. Listen in to learn about all these fascinating topics, discussed by two guys who've had a bit too much of the devil's lettuce.For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

In this episode of scHIGHence, Matt and Brandon go skyward—and end up in some pretty dark places. If the universe is everything that exists how could it be getting bigger? When will the universe end? And what does all of this have to do with the hit 90's scifi show Sliders?!

Matt and Brandon are back after a hiatus and are ready to discuss all the deepest questions science can answer. They're starting things off this week with the origin of language: how did we evolve the ability to talk and how is our system for communicating different from the ones that animals use? Tune in to learn some possible answers to these questions and to hear Matt turn one of them into a pitch for an animated musical.For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

In our 4/20 special, Matt and Brandon discuss how weed affects your perception of the world around you—how does the brain work and how could a chemical alter that? We also get into a host of other topics, like what best rhymes with “New Year's”, how to pronounce “Alzheimer's”, and the different kinds of memory a computer uses.

In this episode, the boys tackle human evolution. Why did we stop being monkeys? Were cavemen humans or something else? And are we still evolving today? Stream away to hear Brandon explain it all (despite being quite a bit higher than usual). Plus, they manage to squeeze both Jack Nicholson and Bill Nye impressions in there, so that's something.For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

In this episode, we talk about everyone's favorite red liquid: blood! (Sorry, fruit punch fans...). We cover all the basics, like how do bones make our blood? How did blood evolve? And how long can Matt talk about the human body before he pukes? And of course, Matt and Brandon do all of this while having a considerable amount of THC floating around in their own blood.For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

What is...physics? In this episode, we talk about what the field of physics is at its core and learn that it's basically just fortune telling with a whole lot more math. Be sure to listen to this episode if you want to hear Matt ask whether you can pick up subatomic particles with tweezers and Brandon take several breathing breaks.

What are cells? Tune in to hear another one of Brandon's brilliant analogies (don't worry, no gravy this time—just tinkertoys). We'll talk about the origins of life, how natural selection works on a molecular level, and how plant cells are secretly pretty badass. Speaking of plants and molecules, Brandon and Matt will also have a certain plant's THC molecules pumping through their blood, as always...For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

Last week we talked about computers, and this week we're tackling the internet! (And more boring stuff, like telephones…) How have humans learned to communicate with one another despite the distances that separate us? And what do radio antennas have in common with flashlights? Brandon and Matt will explain it all, all while ignoring how dry their mouths feel and how bloodshot their eyes are.For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

This week, we're delving into computer science. Computers affect almost everything about our day‑to‑day lives, from automating cars to allowing you to listen to podcasts where high guys talk about science. Tune in to hear Brandon explain to Matt the history of computers, how electricity allows them to think faster than a human, and how all of that works together to create computer programs! For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

We're getting lunar, folks. In this episode, Matt asks Brandon what the moon is and why it gets bigger and smaller every month (it doesn't). We'll talk about how the moon formed, why its phases happen, and the etymology of the word “month”. #doubleSmokes!For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

In this week's episode we take our first dip into the field of geology. Matt and Brandon discuss tectonic plates, volcanos, and the center of the earth. But mostly they just talk about gravy. So, maybe not a great idea to listen to this episode when you're hungry. One of the many problems with having a show hosted exclusively by people who have the munchies. For more episodes of scHIGHence, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.

This week Matt's mind gets blown again. Tune in to hear Brandon explain weather, the ozone layer, and why you shouldn't take meteorology classes at whatever college Matt went to.

In our fourth and possibly most-high episode, Brandon and Matt talk about the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

In this episode, Matt and Brandon talk about why stuff sticks together: atoms, molecules, and cells, oh my! Come to learn more about the periodic table and stay to find out why you can't actually stand on top of a star. Or maybe just stay to hear two high guys make an attempt at a conversation, whatever gets you going. (Sorry about the audio quality at the end of this one!

In scHIGHence's debut episode, Matt and Brandon tackle the topic of gravity. From Newton to Einstein, these two answer any questions you might have about why apples fall from trees, and why water doesn't fall when you're swinging a bucket in a circle (which we assume is a scenario our listeners find themselves in regularly). And they do it all after taking far too many edibles.To find more episodes of scHIGHence once they're released, visit our website at www.buzzsprout.com/1510018.
