Episode Transcription

Cassie McCreary  00:12

Hi Gene-iuses, Cassie here. Instead of our normal episode, I'm bringing you some great news. I'm thrilled to share that my co-host, Jordan and his wife have welcomed their first child of the family. Their bundle of joy - and might I add future Gene-ius - arrived a little sooner than expected, but I'm happy to report that the whole family is doing very well. 

However, this does mean that we'll be taking a brief hiatus in production to ensure that we deliver the best possible second half of season one that we can. Don't worry though this will be a short break, and we will be back with our next episode for you on July 26th. And while we have this time, we'd love to ask a favor or two. 

First, we'd love to get your feedback. Are you enjoying the show so far? How can we improve so you continue to enjoy moving forward? Please feel free to email us your thoughts at absolute.geneius@thermofisher.com. And if you have the chance, we'd love it if you'd kindly leave us a review on whatever platform you listen. Now is also a great time to binge back episodes to make sure you're caught up and be sure to tell your friends and colleagues about Absolute Gene-ius so they can catch up too.  

Again, we'll be back with a new episode and more fun on July 26th. In the meantime, please enjoy this compilation of Jordan and I being Absolute Gene-iuses ourselves during the recording process. A little peek behind the curtain for you. Hang tight, stay curious, and we'll be in your ears again soon on Absolute Gene-ius.

I don't know how to make starting easier. Like man.  

Cassie McCreary  01:39

Be cool. Be normal. 

Jordan Ruggieri  01:41

I need to get my 80s gold jacket on. That's what I need to do.

Cassie McCreary  01:46

I have an unrelated question for everybody. Can you hear my dogs losing their minds? 

Ray Ketchum  01:51

I can. 

Cassie McCreary  01:54

Excellent. Donut just has a lot to say but there's really not much there to like to substantiate any of it. She is just like this little potato on stumps. 

Jordan Ruggieri  02:04

Is it Oregon or Oregon?

Cassie McCreary  02:06

I always say Oregon. You know like some people say Florida, some people say Fla-rida.  Flow-rida. Do I need to do it again? Do you want me to say Oregon? 

Jordan Ruggieri  02:17

Look at this. I had a, I had a creative streak here too.  

Cassie McCreary  02:20

I know you're killing it.

Jordan Ruggieri  02:22

Sometime they hit.  Sometimes they don't. Most of the time they don't.

Cassie McCreary  02:32

Some of those were good, yeah.
