Episode 275 | Morbidly Obtuse

Nick returns from the grave to join Alex and John as the guys dive headfirst into space travel, time dilation, and the very real possibility of recruiting extraterrestrial life with strategically selected Earth holograms. What begins as a discussion about Project Hail Mary quickly turns into a full-blown interstellar outreach program.Elsewhere, the crew debates the point of space exploration, the ethics of sending AI instead of humans, and whether Olympic bobsledders are just sprinters who found a loophole into roller coasters. Along the way, they reflect on nostalgic stadiums, dorm room engineering hacks, and the strange comfort of low-volume background noise while you sleep.It’s a wide-ranging conversation that somehow manages to connect quantum physics, penny loafers, and the Winter Olympics into one cohesive theory about human ambition and the need to feel less alone in the void.Follow the Burt Selleck Podcast and the hosts here:Burt Selleck Podcast: https://linktr.ee/burtselleckpodYou can follow the hosts of The Burt Selleck Podcast here:Alex Bozinovic: https://linktr.ee/alexbozinovicJohn Mahar: https://www.instagram.com/_grandjuan_/Ian Radogost-Givens: https://www.instagram.com/ianrg313/Nick Kelley: https://www.instagram.com/nickkelleyyy/
