In this pint-sized episode of Vegans Talking Shit, Jon remains out enjoying his hockey day, so once again, it's The Tofu Trio minus one. After an awkward introduction needlessly explaining that this is the second half of a single recording split into two different topics, Joey and Vanessa begin discussing iguanas and other invasive species. They chat about the low IQ of iguanas and the bizarre phenomenon of them falling from trees during the rare South Florida cold snap. The conversation turns to the controversial law allowing people to kill iguanas in Florida. Vanessa gets emotional sharing how she tried to save several frozen iguanas near her building only to learn that someone had begun killing them, leading Joey to discuss the irony of labeling a species "invasive" when humans brought them there in the first place. As the show closes, Joey gets a little too excited about his ability to split the recording into two separate topics, resulting in some audible "thinking out loud" about posting dates and voting deadlines. It’s an awkward hello and a fumbled goodbye, but the conversation in between might actually be worth the listen.
