2025/02/11

My latest Cool Friend is the incredible Dr. Susan Finkbeiner. I'm not sure how to describe her, other than she might just be one of the most interesting people I've ever met. She's one of the country's foremost Lepidopterists, having been published and featured by the likes of PBS, National Geographic, and more. That alone would be cool enough, but then she had to go and be a runway model, doing fashion shows on multiple continents. Again, rad as hell. She also hiked to Mount

My Cool Friend Elise Golgowski is incredible, and I think that's nice. She's not only a fantastic comedian and content creator, but she also has one of the coolest jobs out there as she is a professional editor for, among other things, many prominent comedy specials.

Hey y'all! Wanted to close out the year with a review of everything that happened both professionally and personally over here and on the Patreon. Forgive me if it seems repetitive or if it goes on tangents. Unlike a lot of the work I do, this was purposefully unplanned (minus names of producers and guests)I like this kind of episode to come more from the heart than the brain, and I think that'll register relatively quickly.Regardless, thank you. I'm eternally grateful for everything you do to keep
