Why do GenZers spend so f'ing much on breakups?

1 week ago | audacy.com | Lauren Barry |Chris Blake |Mike Rogers

Recent research from the finance app Frich has found that for Gen Zers (born between 1998 and 2012), it can cost around $4,000 to recover from a break up. What's going on? Why is that figure so high? "Something Offbeat" is on the case. Host Mike Rogers chatted with one of the founders of Frich - Aleksandra Medina - about how break ups and other spending trends they've noticed with Gen Z.

Have you ever taken a good look at the player's facial hair when you watched a game of baseball? You might not realize it, but the topic of grooming in the major leagues is actually full of interesting tales.

The case of Saturn's disappearing rings

Saturn, the sixth planet from the sun, is distinguished by its prominent rings. However, sometimes these rings... go missing. Or at least they appear to. It's a phenomenon that happens every 13 to 15 years. This week on "Something Offbeat" we hopped on the case to find out why. Host Mike Rogers talked to the Bad Astronomer, Phil Plait, all about it. "So, the Earth passes through the ring plane twice in a year, every 15 years... this is the year," Plait explained.

Colossal Biosciences, a company based in Dallas, recently received a $200 million investment to work on a project that might remind a lot of us of the "Jurassic Park" film franchise, though it is a bit different.

Late last year a coin featuring a depiction of the Roman Senator Marcus Junius Brutus, Julius Caesar's assassin, sold at auction for a little over $2 million. It is one of just 17 known coins of this type. It was a piece of gold currency used in Rome the last century BCE - and was likely issued one or two years after Caesar's murder. Academics say the coin's run was short, as Brutus eventually went into exile and died in a battle in Greece in 42 BCE.
Did Google just get closer to proving the multiverse? It's complicated.

Google recently announced that it created a new computer chip, Willow, that can perform "mindboggling" computations - so mindboggling that Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven said it might indicate we live in a multiverse. The multiverse theory is popular in science fiction, but scientists don't agree that if it exists in reality. Does Google's new chip bring us a step closer to proving it?
Visiting the abandoned military base buried under hundreds of feet of ice in Greenland

Jan 23, 2025 | audacy.com | Lauren Barry |Chris Blake |Mike Rogers

Earlier this month, Donald Trump Jr. visited Greenland, fueling speculation about what his father, now President Donald Trump, wanted to do with the world's largest island. Around the same time, reports of new images of a U.S. military base hidden under feet of ice there came out. Camp Century, located in northwest Greenland, was used as a military base for less than a decade in the 1960s and it was home to something called Project Iceworm, a Cold War project. Now, it's all but a memory.

What you don't know about pet cemeteries

Nov 14, 2024 | audacy.com | Lauren Barry |Chris Blake |Mike Rogers

Would you ever consider being buried with a pet? When he passed away this summer, French film star Alain Delon had a request - to be buried with his Belgian Malinois, Loubo. However, the dog was still alive, and his family didn't follow through with Delon's wishes. It may seem gruesome, but Paul Koudounaris, author of "Faithful Unto Death: Pet cemeteries, animal graves, and eternal devotion" said Delon isn't the only person who has tried to take their beloved pet to the grave.
