Stand-up mathematician Matt Parker https://standupmaths.com/ experiments maestro Steve Mould https://stevemould.com/ and geek songstress Helen Arney https://helenarney.com/ take a single phrase and use it to investigate things that might not seem particularly interesting on the surface, but become fascinating when you get down to the nitty and / or gritty.
