In this episode, comedian Ryan Conner explains how he survives while living amongst an uncomfortable amount of bugs in LA. He also critiques The World's Ugliest Dog Contest. The guys finally get around to what the show is actually about and listen to clips from the most recent guest: virologist Meghan. She talks about the transition from pandemic to endemic and the frustrations that scientists felt during that time. Doctor Eric Shaw provides his insights into lessons learned and how the future looks bright in the world of medicine.
