In this second installment of the “Guest Fest” episode series, the Buddies quaff Averna Siciliano-based Black Manhattans alongside their special guest, virologist and all around geeky dude Matthew Quinn.
Matt recounts his and Mike’s doomed bromance from days past, reveals a truly amazing number of interesting (and depressing) facts about microorganisms and comes dangerously close to both out-geeking and out-podcasting the Buddies. But what else would you expect from Mike’s doppleganger?!
Also: Career paths based off of Michael Crichton novels! Barbecued parrots! And of course, so much laughter…

Plus: Love for Altered Carbon! Smelly garbage dump drama! And of course, “Your Name” (The mega-successful anime, not, you know… the name of the person reading this).
