Episode 489 - Fantasy World Survival Test: Could You Actually Make It?
It’s time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin tackle an opening question that is the embodiment of Justin’s nightmares. You’re offered your dream house, but it comes with a tarantula the size of a small dog…do you take it? After shaking off that thought experiment, the guys shift to their main topic: if you were dropped into various fantasy worlds, what would be your chances of survival?

For years Doug Cochrane and Justin Strandlund have been good friends and frequent improv partners. They share a love of debating any topic, although their discussions usually come back around to two things: movies and space. Their most infamous debate involved a 2 hour discussion (while at work) about the actual possibility of time travel and it's potential ramifications on mankind; this included a full diagram drawn on a wall-sized whiteboard. Time well spent. MindGap is what happens when they sit together in front of a microphone and press record.
