It is Friday and I am so tired of being thoughtful and substantive so I'm not going to do that anymore

What I'm going to do is find some fun people to discuss the week's

underserved headlines some of the best and least thinky stories that I could find

that we're going to do if you're new to the program, on Wednesdays and Thursdays we do a flagship

episode where I talk to a thought leader or an author, sometimes

a British lord.

And on Fridays I bring on degenerate friends of mine to discuss funny stories.

So Wednesday's the salad. Friday is the after dinner

shots that we're doing in the kitchen with the chefs. That's what you're

exposing yourself to. And the chefs that I am bringing on today are Jeremy Keriken back again.

Welcome back, Jeremy.

Good to be here.

Jeremy is a playwright, a very funny person, a former speech writer for Gary Johnson and also a

COVID survivor which I didn't know about congratulations to Jeremy.

Thank you thank you it's good to be on this side of the dirt.

Yeah good great great and uh And new to the program and introduced by Jeremy is Joe Twilliger.

Joe is a neurobiologist, genetics professor, what are you exactly in geneticist he's a geneticist and you

might wonder why am I bringing on a geneticist instead of a comedian as I usually do

the reason is in addition to Jeremy assuring me that you're pretty funny Joe you're

also apparently the official translator for Dennis Rodman when he goes to North

Korea is that right?

Yeah I mean I basically organized his trips and I liaise with the North Koreans and I go with him.
