You’ve seen the hilarious John Roy on Conan, Ferguson, and IFC’s Maron in Space, and he joins Matt, Andy, and Jesse this week to talk about the new cocaine vaccine, Juggalo science, and why there are 480,000,000 needles orbiting Earth.

Australian comedian/writer/performer Celia Pacquola and American comedian/writer/performer TJ Chambers join Matt and Andy this week to dig into the listener mailbag and, for the most part, avoid discussing Gallagher while delving into 3D-printed guns, mainlining oxygen, body farms and the reasons for studying duck genitalia.

Mr. Show’s Karen Kilgariff and Chelsea Lately’s April Richardson both performed at last week’s Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and they also happened to be in attendance for the debacle that was the Serafinowicz/Gallagher episode. They join Andy for a debrief and therapy session, while also discussing speedier space travel, harmful hookahs, Huey Lewis and, of course, cheesy potatoes.

British comedy icon and Look Around You co-creator Peter Serafinowicz and stand-up legend Gallagher join Matt Kirshen and Andy Wood for a live taping of Probably Science at Portland’s Bridgetown Comedy Festival, where things get really uncomfortable as topics range from lower-fat chocolate to stressed-out red squirrels to Gallagher’s strong opinions on height and race in Mexican culture.

The head of Nerdist Industries himself, comedian/podcaster/actor/musician/host Chris Hardwick makes his first Probably Science appearance on this week’s episode, joining Matt, Andy, and ProbSci prodigal son Brooks Wheelan to discuss using iPhones to detect intestinal worms, parodying Trace Adkins in the name of science, making transplant livers chillax just a little longer, Neanderthals and their too-big eyes, and a completely horrifying bat-eating spider.
