In this episode, Michael and Josh discuss the scourge that is metastatic mesothelioma, a truly awful disease that continues to inflict significant mortality and morbidity on patients exposed to asbestos around the world. One of our more grim episodes thus far, but never fear; we have still crammed in more dad jokes than one can wave a bag of chemotherapy at.
