Co-host Jess Dweck returns from her solo trip to Cuba and teaches Mike how to survive a trip to Cuba despite not speaking Spanish, having limited wifi access, and generally making all the wrong decisions.*Disclaimer* Even though this episode is called "How To Travel To Cuba," we make no guarantees of the safety or legality of anything discussed on this podcast. Jess is just talking about her own experience. Make travel plans at your own risk!

We've taken a week off but we'll be back next week to learn about Jess' trip to Cuba!

Comedian Virginia Jones teaches us how to counteract negative energy, how to get anyone to like you, how to follow someone to another city, how to attend a comedy party, how to start fights on the street, and how to work for Nike. Plus, we play a game of, "What Do You Say to Them?" in which Virginia tells us what she'd say to diffuse any situation.

"Adam Ruins Everything" host Adam Conover teaches us the secret to self-improvement, how to grow up with scientist parents, how to be a little bit vegan, how to accidentally create a TV show idea, how to be jealous of Ronan Farrow, how to quit smoking, and how to wear nail polish as a man without being goth.
