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.”

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.

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.

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.

You’ve seen Brody Stevens in “Due Date” and both “Hangover” movies, as well as comedy stages the world over. But did you know he has a 91 mph fastball? Actually, yes, you probably did know that. Brody joins us to talk about his favorite HBO shows, the government’s “Avatar” ripoff, a “Mythbusters” cannonball that pulled a Family Circus through the ‘burbs, resurrecting a 30,000-year-old plant and the fact that Tarzana was actually named for Tarzan. Give Brody a follow over on Twitter at @BrodyIsMeFriend and listen to his podcast “Brode & Esther.”

Comedian April Richardson of “Chelsea Lately” joins us this week to talk about whether science should stop studying the effects of booze on problem solving and buckle down on the cancer/AIDS cures, why children have been replaced by robots in the world of camel jockeying, how the Swiss plan to clean up space and why she always thought Salman Rushdie was the guy behind “Red Shoe Diaries.” Follow her on Twitter @apey.

This week’s episode is a good ‘un — we’ve got new audio equipment, the full Matt/Brooks/Andy hosting trifecta and a bunch of science news topics we tackle en route to finding out how Kyle Kinane survives on the road, why Brooks is afraid of snakes, and how to tell a war dolphin from one that just swims with autistic kids.
