July 07, 2023 Tony Five - July 7, 2023
Things begin with Tony Five berating David for showing up late to the podcast taping. Tony brings up how the UK's civil servants are coming out against bullying. The two attack the deep question, "Why are people prejudiced?" – only they do it in the dumbest possible way. David shares what he thought when he broke the news that Russia had invaded Ukraine on commercial radio. The conversation turns to "selective outrage" in the media. David likens the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to his divorce. Then, another deep question arises: "If you gave children weapons, would they behave as badly as adults?" The duo discuss why doom scrolling may be a terrible idea. The show ends with a cliffhanger: "Is poo racist?"

July 05, 2023 Dr. Cliff Redford - July 5, 2023
Veterinarian Dr. Cliff Redford engages with David, discussing the differences between being a doctor for animals vs. people. During their conversation, anal fissures come up (of course), leading to a discussion about an organ that many animals possess but humans do not: anal glands. They also discuss his film Dr. Cliff Worldwide Vet, which will be screened at the NYC TV Festival on July 17, 2023. Then a serious discussion. In the context of Hurricane Katrina and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: If you help pets, you help people. Cliff shares his personal journey of combining his roles as a veterinarian and a performer. Dr. Cliff then flips the script and interviews David, who shares his experiences as a Canadian living in the US.

July 03, 2023Dan Riskin - July 3, 2023
Evolutionary biology and science expert Dan Riskin confesses to being a listener of this podcast. He and David discuss astronaut Chris Hadfield.
David then claims that Dan said the nicest thing anyone's ever said about him. Dan shares about his time working with Craig Ferguson and the Discovery Channel.
The conversation turns to what it means to "do the work" vs. receiving recognition for your work. David shares why the following quote means so much to him:
"You have the right to work, but only for the work's sake. You don’t have the right to the fruits of the work." (That’s Bhagavad Gita, by the way.)

David forgets a word and panics. Finally, it's science time. The stories covered:
If you're not a fast thinker, you might be a better thinker;
Scientists may have found the neurological basis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; and
Judges make punishments more harsh when there’s a longer delay before punishment.

David remembers the word he was looking for: ambivalent. (No show tomorrow for July 4th. See you on Wednesday!)

June 30, 2023 Isabella Mise from Ashley Madison - June 30, 2023
Things are getting spicy! David is joined by Isabella Mise, Senior Director of Communications from Ashley Madison ostensibly to talk about the top cities for summer affairs, but things quickly end up going a little deeper. The two talk about extramarital affairs and non-monogamy. They discuss how to be discreet and what it means to conduct an affair with "integrity." Should monogamous relationships be the default? Find out all that and more on This Is Going Well, I Think! Oh, and David somehow manages to work his Jewish mother into the conversation.

June 29, 2023 Dr. Jonathan Losos - June 29, 2023
It's cats, cats, cats with biology professor Dr. Jonathan Losos. He's the author of The Cat's Meow: How Cats Evolved from the Savanna to Your Sofa (available wherever books are sold). David and him discuss why cats make the sounds they do, the domestication of cats, and feline behavior. They share a little bit about their own furry friends. Because what interview would be complete without David mentioning his own pet, Tomato?

June 28, 2023 Tony Five - June 28, 2023
Today Tony Five shares a little bit about his job in drug enforcement – wait, is Tony a NARC?! That story involves being in the middle of a notorious British murder case. (This murder brought to you by Ring™ cameras.) After that, the two "educate" each other on their respective national politics. Tony then brings the content: according to British PM Rishi Sunak, China poses the biggest threat to the world. Do these two idiot agree? Listen to find out! Then, could your cars' ECU (electronic control unit) be spying on you? State-sponsored spy viruses have infected consumer electronics before. David starts talking about his cat, and the topic of rat kings abruptly ends the episode.

June 26, 2023 Natasha Vinik - June 26, 2023
Natasha Vinik joins David and gets some disappointing news regarding Canadian celebrity Carly Rae Jepsen. Natasha, having recently come back from a wedding, the two discuss the topic of matrimony. Then, it's cats on planes. After that, it's science hour—Are we living in a simulation? The next topic is nudity. Did you grow up in a naked household? Do you go to naked stuff?
David somehow manages to steer the conversation towards his gastro-intestinal issues. Things get ridiculous when they explore how fringe conspiracy theories can become linked to certain communities. The show ends abruptly because of Banana Bread and Natasha's mother.
