WVC Vegas + Brainsmarts Chaos: We Accidentally Ran Into Caitlin’s Boss … Then Recorded a Podcast with Him LIVE in Vegas

Author: Vet Candy February 13, 2026 Duration: 44:00
  Season one of Brainsmarts goes out with a bang — and a little bit of chaos — LIVE from the floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino during Western Veterinary Conference. Hosts Caitlin Palmar and Clay Palmar literally run into Caitlin’s former (and current) employer, Dr. Dean, on the way to Las Vegas and decide the only logical next step is to put him on the mic. The season finale is part reunion, part career reflection, and part “how did this even happen?” — plus a look back at the most unforgettable moments from season one. From the iconic Canadian This-or-That episode with Shannon Gervais, to fashion hot takes and trivia with Chicago’s own Dr. Thomas Vega, to parasite horror stories with Dr. Hannah Jordan, it’s the perfect send-off before the next chapter. Recorded live. Slightly unhinged. Totally Brainsmarts.   #wvcvegas #veterinarypodcast #veterinarymedicine
