Oh, hey, it's the extra power bank. You always forget to charge and bring with you.

Alliwart. And this is an allergies that you did not know you were waiting for.

Oh, dolphins. No one's ready for this. No one is.

Y'all know we've had a few two partners recently and I just can't help it.

We've done it again. This conversation was just too perfect and too long not to break up

because honestly it's one that you need to savor. I legit like thisologist more than I'm

ever going to like myself and I'm so thrilled to introduce them to you.

They got their PhD from the School of Psychology at Trinity College Dublin in Dublin, Ireland.

They're currently an adjunct professor at St. Francis Xavier University and a senior research

associate with the Dolphin Communication Project. Also co-editor at one point of the journal

Aquatic Mammals so they know their stuff. They also wrote the book on dolphin cognition called

Our Dolphins Really Smart as well as the book 22 fantastical facts about dolphins.

And they just came out with another book on animal cognition titled Ifnichi or Narwal,

what animal intelligence reveals about human stupidity. And thisologist sat down in Nova Scotia

for a spirited and no hyperbole thrilling discussion on everything from dolphins on acid

to why hustler broke Dolphins biggest scientific study news. But before we do, a quick thanks to

all the patrons at patreon.com for keeping the show going and submitting great questions.

subscribing and reviewing which keeps us up in the charts. This week we were number one in science

which really means the world to me. And I read all the reviews and I prove it with a piping hot one

this week is from Aditron who wrote Ali is basically your college roommate. She throws great parties

with interesting people and you definitely wouldn't have passed your bio classes without her tutelage.
