LA comedienne and Second City faculty member Mary (whom you no doubt already met in the Prelude to this episode), joins us to act out a pet sitting job interview, talk about sharing our public spaces with animals, and finally return to Empty Street to see if we can get some animal action going in the convenient mart/Taco Bell/Subway.

In the post-game (which we’re including on this public episode because we’re so nice), we talk about Bill’s new academic studies and Mark’s upcoming Gen Con trip. (If you’re going to be at Gen Con Indy and want to connect, email me; maybe we can organize a lunch for anyone interested.)

Yes, the fish peep dome is a real thing.

Mark & Bill are well-matched in being able to so easily articulate the mental processes around their respective pursuits. Whatever sound range both their voices fall within, it's really pleasant on the ears, like listening to two small yet efficient air conditioners placed side by side.
