Y'all, it is Gar Week. Were you aware of that? It's a week about a weird fish, a whole week of it.

The internet's going bonkers for it.

And I don't want you to be left behind for this celebratory time.

Also, this week was my birthday, so I took a day off

to have a stranger rub me for money,

and also for eating carrot cake with double the frosting.

And our beloved editor, Mercedes-Maitland,

has been saddled with bronchitis.

So all signs pointed to an easy week for us

to get ahead for next week.

So either listen to this encore again,

because I guarantee there's a lot of weird stuff about

gars you forgot or listen for the first time and flood your coworkers with Garfax and

let the Gar

memes begin. It's Gar Week. This is a great episode. It's widely beloved. You're about to see why.

Also you can listen to the end for an updated secret. Okay. Oh hey, it's your

internet dad. It's Ali Ward. This is a podcast called Ologies, wherein you will think,

I don't think I care about this topic and then you will later Google that topic when you're supposed to be doing actual work and tell people weird facts

and maybe have a dream about the topic later.

I dreamed about Gar last night, so let's get into it.

Okay, first off, thank you for making this show a thing.

Thanks to everyone at Patreon.com.
