There’s no professor in the hatch today but there’s still magic. The gang talks about Tig ignoring Kyle’s greetings which leads to the hosts examining Kyle’s face and his large nostrils. Then comedian and friend, Michelle Biloon, comes in and talks about the mysterious world of pregnancy. She discusses her baby and talks about all the trials and surprises involved with carrying another person in your belly including; craving deviled eggs, getting to know your baby, and letting your husband try your breast milk. Then it’s time for a tremendous game of “Name That Punky” with special guest, Kyle’s mom!

Then they discuss character with guest Al Madrigal. Al talks about his past career in human resources and how the experience of firing people affected his perception of people and honesty. Character’s tough to pin down but they figure it out with probing questions including; how does one define it, what indicators can reveal it, and is it possible to pee on your friend’s couch and still retain it? Then notorious good person, Donald Trump, calls in and clarifies what real character is.
Kyle talks about finally meeting Daniel Radcliffe (!!!), Tig talks about a recent romantic road trip, and David talks about his tired mammal partner on today’s Professor Blastoff!

No stone goes unturned on Professor Blastoff!
Welcome back to the hatch Blasternauts! Today the gang talks about the documentary that’s being made about Tig and they follow that with some serious “she who” riffing.
