What a family welcome to episode 184 of the Genius Life.

What's going on everybody, Happy Wednesday and welcome back to another episode of the Genius Life.

I'm your host Max Lugov, your filmmaker, health and science journalist and author of the New York Times

bestselling book Genius Foods and The Genius Life.

Oh buddy, today's episode is something else.

Somehow it's a combo of comedy and heartfelt emotion.

And truth be told this isn't because of me.

It's because of our guest, the wonderfully funny Jessime Paluso.

Jessime is a natural comedian and has been seen and heard on everywhere from the Joe Rogan

experience to the late great Chelsea lately to her own podcast The Sharp Tongue.

And now as the host of the Wild New Show tattoo redo on Netflix.

While yes, Jess is on her way to conquering the comedy world.

What I find most inspiring about Jess is the way she uses her platform to raise awareness

for Alzheimer's disease, a disease that Jess tragically lost her father to in 2017.

In today's episode, Jess and I talk about dealing with grief after losing a parent to dementia.

As a result, today's episode is filled with heartfelt truths, but also naturally a lot

of jokes.

This episode is definitely not kid friendly and has a few more curse words than usual.

And in general, it is a bit out of the box for us over here at the Genius Life, which

is 100% okay.

Because even through all the F-bombs and butthole talk, Jessime's message is clear and concise

and needs to be heard.
