I've been away but I'm baaaack! Sorry to disappear fam, but sometimes you just gotta unplug it all and hang with the immediates! Nina and Maia got back from summer class at Berkeley (where Nina brought home the gift of Covid) and we all headed back up to The Sea Ranch in Northern Cali...this time Nina drove cuz SHE GOT HER LICENSE 🥳 Nothing like sheer 1000 ft. cliffs on the Highway 1 to scare you straight as a new driver, and now we're rested and back and READY TO ROCK 🔥 Lemme know in the comments if you did any last minute summer shenanigans and I'll see y'all on a live soon!
Mrs. DoggMD and I hiked up to the top of a crazy temple and cemetery called Otani Sobyo above Kyoto this morning. Pure madness 🔥 and HELLLA G-HOSTS!
Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
