The wait is over — and this is about to be as epic as a gamma-ray burst! Joe Scott, the mastermind behind Answers With Joe, is unleashing a headbanging merch drop that has been four long years in the making. If you're anything like Joe and believe with all your heart that hardcore scientific terms deserve their own death metal tour, the Tritium Tour Merch is here to make your radioactive dreams come true.
Longtime Joe Scott YouTube fans have demanded this, begged for it, even sent slightly unhinged emails about it. And now? It's finally here.
But, like any good cosmic phenomenon, it won't last forever. This limited-edition Tritium Tour shirt, mug, and sticker are only available from March 31 through May 13 — after that, it vanishes into the void.
Don't be left in the dust of made-up metal band history. Here's everything you need to know to grab your piece of tour shirt infamy.
The Science Behind the Tritium T-Shirt
If you're a diehard fan of the Joe Scott YouTube channel, you've probably witnessed his now-iconic jokes about "death metal science." The Tritium Tour T-shirt, Mug, and Sticker are a glorious homage to those moments. Picture Joe launching into an explanation about a phrase like "Blood Falls" (an actual geological phenomenon) — but not before cutting to his mock announcer voice: "Coming this Sunday! Blood Falls! Poughkeepsie Civic Center!"
The Tritium Tour design is a radioactive nod to Joe's long-running gag about turning actual scientific terms and concepts into metal band names.
Still not convinced? See the "Blood Falls" bit yourself — cut to the 11:45 mark on this Joe Scott YouTube video.
"The tour dates are all Poughkeepsie, which is this imaginary civic center in the most mundane part of America you could imagine," said Joe. "It's a legendary gag for long-term fans."
And if you're wondering about tritium, it's a rare radioactive isotope of hydrogen. But admit it — if you didn't know that, you'd 100% assume it was a metal band tour.
Now you can own this radioactive legacy proudly. You know you want to.
How the Tritium Tour — Um, T-Shirt — Came to Life
Joe Scott fans aren't just any audience. They're the kind of people who gleefully write scientific rebuttals in comment sections and debate the mysteries of the universe for fun. For years, they've been relentlessly campaigning for a Tritium Tour T-shirt.
Feeling the heat, Joe and his team partnered with the brilliant Vladyslav Tsarenko, a designer from All4band Design who specializes in authentic death-metal merch. And Vlad? He understood the assignment.
Melting skulls, radiation symbols, and pure nuclear chaos — this shirt oozes with metal mayhem. Even the fake tour dates are peak Joe humor. (Spoiler alert: It's Poughkeepsie. Every stop.)
"Vlad took it so seriously," said Joe. "He dug deep into the science references and came back with this insane, over-the-top design. It's perfect."
