Seasons & Episode
Cocky Science Aviator Jake Roper feels the need for speed and will be pushed to the limit while investigating what happens to the human body when subjected to extreme G-forces, intense acrobatic maneuvers, and breaking the sound barrier.

With the prehistoric beasts running rampant, ruining Jake's vacation at Jurassic Park, the race is on to get to the last boat off the island...and see if you could survive the awesome power of a T-Rex bite, being hunted by pterosaurs and conversely, could dinosaurs actually survive in our world? Creators iJustine, Harris Heller and Emily Graslie also make a guest appearance.
Years after an alien invasion, Jake quietly avoids the sound sensitive alien race that is hunting him. Although every sound *could* spell disaster, it provides the perfect opportunity to explore what is sound, what it means to hear and if we can actually weaponize sound to explode some heads? Special appearances by creators Rikki Poynter and 12Tone.
Enlisting the help of his wizard friends, Jake must regain some semblance of what he lost using science to create an invisibility cloak via radiant energy, overcome the forces of gravity to fly with magnetic energy, and create a wand through electrical energy before confronting the Dark Wizard.

Jake finds himself in a mall in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Which turns out to be a great place to learn about viruses - what are they, how do they affect you, how do you stop them...and can they give you zombie super strength? Special appearance by Girlfriend Reviews.
Luck has clearly run out for Jake as he races to find a way off the sinking Titanic, while exploring buoyancy and finding out if you could survive jumping off a ship's deck into the ocean, and the crushing power of hypothermia. Special appearances by creators Mamrie Hart and Austin Evans.
