In this episode, Michael and Josh discuss the scourge that is metastatic mesothelioma. This genuinely awful disease continues to inflict significant mortality and morbidity on patients exposed to asbestos worldwide. One of our more grim episodes thus far, but never fear; we have still crammed in more dad jokes than one can wave a bag of chemotherapy at.
