Glenn, one of my best friends and local stand-up comic, and I talk student loan forgiveness, the the Brew-Ha-Ha (Cincinnati's own tandem comedy/beer festival which he will be performing at), and most importantly: he shatters my biases on a supremely factual level regarding mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip... Which, I've decided, I will never forgive him for.

Thanks for coming back, y'all. It's been far too long.

My guest for this episode is Ali Jones, a molecular biologist at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, ME. A literal goddamn scientist. I can't say enough about how interesting this episode was, and I learned a TON in my conversation with her. We talked animal rights in lab testing, advancements in the field, microscopic surgeries, and a bunch of other stuff that you honestly should just listen to. I'll definitely bring her back on, because I have SO MANY MORE QUESTIONS!

My official thrice-returning guest on the pod, Alyson and I cover a wide range of topics (most of which are mentioned in the title), and we parse through what it means to us to be human (again). Ultimately, this was a such a fun one for me, so I encourage everyone to reach out to her and advise her that her OWN podcast should definitely be in her future - as well as restarting her blog. You might not agree with our opinions, but don't sit here and say you didn't laugh. :) Looking forward to the next time, my friend.
