You’ve seen the very funny Nick Turner on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and he joins the ProbSci gang this week to talk about robots that walk like people, extreme pain, Bill Nye vendettas, and Brooks’s close encounter with a rattlesnake.

Moshe Kasher, comedian extraordinaire and author of the recently published memoir The Kasher in the Rye, makes his first appearance on Probably Science and talks about the proliferation of Genghis Khan DNA, growing up with two deaf parents, drinking a full bottle of vinegar to pass a drug test, and whether any of us really understand the recent Higgs boson news.

Jordan Morris of Jordan, Jesse, Go! and Fuel TV’s “The Daily Habit” makes his Probably Science debut as the gang delve into male contraceptives, Summer Country shenanigans, giant crocodiles, awkward moments with Yao Ming, ancient pottery and replacing Maury Povich with Brooks’s grandpa.

There are no two ways about it: Bil Dwyer is a delight. You may remember him as host of “Battlebots” and many other TV shows, and he joins Matt, Brooks and Andy for a loose, late-night recording covering Brooks and Bil selling shoes, learning music while you sleep, moving Easter Island statues and unsuccessfully marketing science careers to women.

Standup comic and master of comedic characters Tony Sam helps us celebrate our 25th episode, and it turns out he knows a bit about science, having double-majored in molecular and marine biology and chemistry. Matt’s still out of the country, but that’s not stopping Brooks from enjoying his “Summer of Country,” and we crack open a few beers, pump some tunes and discuss working in Caribbean aquariums (aquaria?), giving HIV to BLT mice, Chinese lady astronauts, robots learning to speak, and getting asked to leave Margaritaville.

Comedian, actress and musical improv coach Eliza Skinner makes her Probably Science debut, and she is simply a delight. We talk about her punk inclinations, her rocket scientist relatives, hands-on science museums and why you can’t use your phone on a plane. Oh, and we goad Eliza into wrapping up the episode with an improvised musical number!

Jason Nash of the long-running podcast Guys With Feelings sits in with Brooks and Andy this week to talk about parenthood, recruiting neighborhood six-year-olds to help beat Wii games, privatized space travel, and using DNA testing to help find Bigfoot.

This week we’re on location at the home of the wonderful Duncan Trussell of the podcast The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, and we really get into it as we tackle moon landing conspiracy theories, world record-breaking skydives, therapeutic psychedelics, Canadian football, and the top ten coolest new species.

It’s our first-ever live Probably Science episode! We were lucky enough to have the very funny Eddie Ifft of the Talkin’ Shit podcast with Jim Jeffries join us on stage at The Mint on May 6th for a lively discussion of matters such as re-routing asteroids, freeing whales, global warming denial campaigns, and being the only white guy on the Pitt track team.

We were lucky enough to have Blaine Capatch of Lucha VaVOOM, among many other hilarious endeavors, join us this week, and we were laughing so hard we could barely get any science in. We made a valiant effort, though, and managed to cover topics including an airborne strain of bird flu, racist babies, color-changing artificial muscles, and Blaine’s spelling bee prowess.

The extremely funny Justin Ian Daniels is with us this week to talk about the Southern Gentlemen of Wrestling, his podcast The Rough House, laser pointer wi-fi, ancient blood cells, and losing control of your bowels while discharging giant firearms!

It’s our second week of Armenian-American comedians, with the hilarious Jackie Kashian of the podcast The Dork Forest joining us to talk about science fiction, wind farms, Donald Trump’s awful offspring, Wisconsin water parks and having Margaret Atwood tweet that your joke is “a little dark.” This was a really fun episode, and we strongly urge you to check out Jackie’s latest album “It Is Never Going To Be Bread.”

James Adomian and the gang have returned from the Bridgetown Comedy Festival up in Portland, and we’ve got stories to tell! Listen in to hear tales of late-night festival buffoonery, egg-less chickens, giant sharks and Jesse Ventura!

Last Comic Standing winner Alonzo Bodden rode his scooter over to Bluebell Ranch to talk with us about his many passions, including motorcycles, politics and fixing crashed aircraft. We also delve into the pitfalls of performing for college kids, the wonder of “smart sand" and the first use of fire. Oh, and we talk about that one president who got stuck in the White House bathtub.
http://probablyscience.libsyn.com/webpage/episode-016-alonzo-bodden
It turns out that the very funny Dave Holmes of the podcast A Drink with Dave, among many other things, lives just down the street from Andy, so we had him come by to chat with us about embarrassing high school stories, dolphin gangs, the quackery of “cleanses,” marathon training and Velveeta Cheesy Skillets.

Comedian, Dermot Mulroney lookalike and co-host of the hilarious podcast “The Biggest Mistake" Paul Jay joins us this week as the first guest who actually listens to our podcast, which comes in handy when he fills in his Probably Science bingo card with bad segues from Andy, bad accents from Brooks and misunderstood sayings from Matt. We also dig in to meaty topics including private space flight with celebrities, vibrating tattoos and the search for Amelia Earhart.

Chris Franjola of “Chelsea Lately” brings us into lucky number thirteen with a lively discussion of being a theater nerd, the sadness of hat-less bald country stars, our cell phone-obsessed culture, and catching a sort-of NASA spy. Oh, and Theodore Rex!

Winner of both the Seattle and San Francisco International Comedy Competitions Auggie Smith is in neighbor Andy’s backyard to talk with us about trying out for Jeopardy!, why Carl Weathers is a poor man’s Clark Gable, and how Matt’s accent colors (colours?) our vision of his childhood.
http://probablyscience.libsyn.com/webpage/episode-012-auggie-smith
Howard Kremer, host of our favorite podcast Who Charted?, joins the gang to talk about Jim Cameron’s adventures under the sea, reintroducing giant monster insects into the civilized world, Howard’s abrasive brother Lee, Andy’s mom going out with Iggy Pop, and Brava beer pulling a summahswipe!

We’ve reached the big 1-0 with the help of comedian Jesse Case! You’ve seen him on Last Comic Standing and Parenthood, or if you’ve been to a party at Andy’s house, you may remember him as the guy you didn’t know also lived there! Jesse joins the team to talk about his weird living situation, breakups, asteroids ending life as we know it in 2040, turning waste water into energy, composing our theme music and much, much more.
