"A lot of you may know me from The Big Bang Theory or Blossom, but some of you may not know I studied neuroscience for 12 years," said Bialik, after which the screen flashed the new poster for the podcast titled Mayim Bialik's Breakdown. The actor created a jovial environment while introducing co-host Jonathan Cohen, who is also the executive producer of the podcast.
