Why do we hiccup? It started off as a fairly innocent question from John. But Ryan went full MD-PhD mode and turned it into a surprisingly epic episode. Let’s just say, the answer is waaaaaay more complicated than you would think. And that Charles Osbourne is a god amongst men. Charlie boy, this one’s for you.

A long time ago (March 2020) in a galaxy far, far away (Ryan’s parents’ basement)…A single question was keeping John up at night, “were the Star Wars prequels really as bad as people make them out to be?” Our hero Ryan got an A+ in midi-chlorians in med school and can put this one to bed, once and for all.

Zombies…John's not saying it could happen. But could it happen?? On this week’s pod, Ryan teaches John about real-life zombification in the natural world! And the disease that may come closest in humans. Disclaimer: This episode was recorded in October 2019. So when we mention viral pandemics, there’s a big one we’re missing…

John and Ryan tackle one of the biggest questions keeping John up at night…was that girl in pottery class into him? They examine the evidence and MD-PhD Ryan gives his final verdict. Thank god they covered this in med school.
