Hey, wonderful! Welcome to episode 49 of the JV club with my marvelous guest, Joelda

Morancy. She is an author, scientist, all around awesome person and was very excited to have her on the

podcast to talk about space and aliens and life and high school.

So I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. I also want to

warn everyone again episode 500 falling right in the middle of Sketchfest just right in the middle of Sketch Fest. Just right in the middle of Sketch Fest. So I may just have an awesome guest who happens to be 500 and we will all celebrate together that I've made it to 500 episodes. This is a super dumb way to tell

you that I just am so busy. I have not had time to plan like a 500th episode spectacular, but my heart is in that place and we'll just

see what happens. Anyway, check out us of SketchTrust.com if you want to find out what my life consists of right now. It is a bunch of amazing shows, almost 200 I think, and lots of friends and familiar faces you will see from Max Fun and Beyond.

So check it out.

In the meantime, happy new year and enjoy this episode with Joelda. Oh, hi! Oh my gosh! I feel like it's taking us a minute to do this but I also have no sense of time anymore.

So I've like, someone was asking me when and where we met and I was like, it was

morning, it was a con, that's about all I can remember and I know Travis Macquallroy was there.

Honestly fair. I think that they was like, it was a blur in my brain afterward I was like what's happening where am I where

were we in all honesty we were at a con we were at a comic on it was in Chicago it. Oh was he to eat two okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Great. All right. So that was yeah so that was like August or something. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's coming back to me.

I was very, yeah, that was a trip that I went to the Art Institute of Chicago and got to

revisit the tiny miniature rooms that are there.

That is my favorite exhibit in that entire museum.

Yes. I go there every single time it's I think it's the best I agree I agree I agree I mean definitely when I went two days in a row

because like we knew because you as you may recall the con hours were early enough that it

turned out they were the exact specific hours of the Art Institute of Chicago so I was like

no I'm not going to be able to see the Thorn Room this time.

And then we discovered that you can, if you become a member, you can get in an hour early.

So I was like, I was totally the nerd that was like standing at the front door at like 958
