Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel. Santino sits down with comedian, science communicator, and podcast host Shane Mauss for a conversation that somehow bounces between stand-up, neuroscience, psychedelics, consciousness, mental health, and the ridiculousness of everyday life. Shane has spent years exploring the intersection of comedy and science, and he brings that same curiosity and plenty of laughs to this episode. They talk about creativity, fear, the human brain, touring, personal growth, and why asking big questions often leads to even stranger answers. Whether they're diving into philosophy or getting sidetracked by complete nonsense, Santino and Shane keep the conversation funny from start to finish.
