Jake Abhau, former Director of Growing Operations for a major cannabis manufacturer, is here to teach us about growing weed successfully in a hostile climate (legally and otherwise). Through hard work and crazy hours in the unforgiving tundra of North Dakota, he helped take a company from a shipping container to a research facility and finally to a massive buyout.

In this holiday special of The Talking Ass, Danny and Sylvia travel to various Christmas Islands. Yes, apparently there are more than one. First, however, listener feedback must be ridiculed and a zebra consumed, because everyone knows you can't visit Eastern Europe without eating one. What?

Anyway, there is some interesting actual learning in this one (shockingly).

Our favorite adventurer and superhero Racheli Aye is back! While training for a HYROX race in Australia, she made a stealth visit to the mountains of Pakistan as a Jewish American woman. In addition to educating us about what it’s like to train hard with endometriosis, 'Rae-Rae' has some juicy takes on Pakistan and the emerging tourism scene there.
