So I got a hold of a copy. It’s in the last 40 seconds of the episode, making a brilliant point. Don’t want to spoil too much of the episode, just that it’s a excellent ending.

[CZ: After watching that, I think I'm going to have to watch the whole show to figure out the significance...But thanks!]

“Now, I’m pretty sure that if I had actually auditioned for the show, I would remember it. Or at least I could find some trace of the experience over on IMDB, searching for my name in the role of Pothead #8. So there I was at the store, getting totally lost trying to figure out what Krulwich was saying.”

Professor Zimmer, if you’ll just add a liberal sprinkling of the words “dude” and “whoa” in that passage, and the Weeds producers will be calling you back soon for a REAL cameo appearance…

Ditto Amoebamike. Guess I’ll see it after awhile–no Showtime for me either. Still, awesome news.

That was a fun Radiolab episode, with you as arch-defender of parasites.

But as far as squeamishness goes, it’s hard to beat Jerry Coyne’s appearance on the show where he talked about the botfly parasite slowly devouring his head.

It’s a decent show (okay, I’ll be honest, I love it). But I’m watching it on Netflix so I just finished Season 4 and am waiting to start Season 5.

If I wasn’t a season behind, I’d watch for you tonight.
