Be advised that this show is not for children, the faint of heart, or the easily offended.

The explicit tag is there for a reason.

Hey, everyone. We are back from Skepticon, Australia. We traveled down there for a couple

0:39.3

of weeks. This show that I'm going to be playing for you recorded a couple of weeks

0:43.2

ago at Skepticon, Australia. I think it was the 19th or 18th of November that we recorded

0:48.0

this. We were the last act on stage the first day. It's a little shorter than our normal

0:53.5

shows because we only had an hour worth to perform. There was a little bit of a glitch

0:57.9

in the beginning with the mic. So there's a sort of starts pretty abruptly. You don't get a

1:04.6

1:46.8

was working and what wasn't. We think it's a pretty good show. It certainly has its problems.

1:53.0

It being a live show and all. But we had a wonderful time at Skepticon. The people down there

1:58.9

absolutely wonderful. We had a great time not only at the venue, but with everyone that we met,

2:05.9

we met tons of people. I had several people come up to me and they knew the show. They knew

2:11.8

they knew us and they were just welcoming and wonderful people. I'm sure we're going to have
