Summary

Dr. James Makokis is a proud, Two-Spirit Cree from Saddle Lake First Nation who leads one of North America’s most prominent transgender-focused medical practices.

Before Dr. Makokis’ beautiful story, the gang talks about sci-fi monkeys, pygmy marmosets and BC Ferries' amazing phallic mask sign.
