Hey guys welcome to episode 213 of the podcast

i have

more or less come to an end of the boys of summer series i say that because

uh... there might be

like a little bonus here or there.

Some files that have begun to record but are unfinished.

Sounds so much more mysterious than it is,

but, uh, listen, if I can create a little mystery in your lives I'm very

happy I wanted to give a couple of shout-outs I want to thank first of all all the

people at the San Francisco Comic-Con who came what a blast that was all the new faces that I met and I want to give a special

Shout out to Ashley who apparently I was supposed to shout out some time ago and didn't. I mean, that's horrifying. So actually,

great seeing you again in person. The Stand Against Evil card that I had that I was able to give out and autograph and stuff at the

con was designed for me by loyal listener and friend Joseph who is also

responsible for that fantastic poster of the Tooten Scoot, as well as any number of awesome

t-shirts and he's just fantastic.

So thank you so much Joseph for that.

And then Angela, I want to thank you for your email and I'll get to some more

shout-outs as soon as I can but I'm actually out on a rare sunset bike ride and I

realized I hadn't recorded an intro and I want to send it to Katie so she can get on with her life.

So that's it for now and I hope that you enjoy this episode with Mary Roach.

She is one of my heroes.

She's wonderful meeting her only made me love her even more than I already did.
