This week, the crew dives deep into the afterglow of Tony’s album release party — the crowd, the food, the energy, and a wild mix of future collaborations with the incredible artists who shared the stage. It was one of those rare nights where people from every walk of life came together, and everything just clicked.
Then things get weird (as they do). We explore:
The Giant Water Bug a.k.a. “Toe Biter” — a creature that injects enzymes to liquefy its prey (and apparently delivers pain that’ll make you see other dimensions).
️ The Sulfur Cave Spider Megacity — tens of thousands of spiders forming a web metropolis on the Albania–Greece border. It’s part horror movie, part miracle of adaptation.
The Sawfish — not a shark but a ray with a chainsaw face that detects prey with electricity.
The Solar-Powered Hornet — an actual insect that harnesses sunlight for energy. Nature’s first little bio-panel!
The secret that crows and ravens aren’t black at all — they’re rainbow explosions of color we just can’t see.
And the Tree Hoppers, the vibing, plant-talking insects that hang out with bees, ants, and assassin bugs like it’s a jungle soap opera.
It’s science, chaos, and celebration — the perfect post-party mix.
Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!
Cheers!

Episode 234: Dominique Gordon: Rockin’ Playlists, Nineties Fades & Finding Your People
The amazingly talented, down-to-earth Dominique Gordon joins us this week—our second-ever guest in show history! Dom does it all: author , poet ✍️, songwriter , performer ... and now, aspiring high school counselor and budding stand-up comic .
We talked music influences (My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and more ), why being Black and loving rock music still raises eyebrows in some circles , and what it means to find your creative voice—even if it sounds more Bob Dylan than MJ .
Also in the mix:
First-ever music purchases (prepare to cringe )
Hi-top fades and 90s hairdos
Why being the boss kinda sucks sometimes
Tony’s flashbacks to teaching during COVID
Mike’s existential Taxi Driver rewatch
Dom’s leap into education (at the same age Tony made his!) ✨
The mystery of who actually gets polled in polls ♂️
Fossil fuels… yikes ⛽
And yes—flying cars, obviously
This one’s packed with laughs, insights, and that sweet Saturday morning vibe ☕. Let’s gooo!
Cheers!
