It is Thursday the 23rd of October 2025,

and you are listening to Skeptics with AK,

the podcast for Science, Reason, and worrying about QED.

Not worrying at all.

Not worrying at all because it's like, it's two or three days to QD.

It's all in hand now, isn't it? Can't worry about it. Everything's all in hand. It's too late. If it's gone wrong, it's gone wrong. Yeah. I mean, that said, something might have gone wrong catastrophically in the last couple of weeks that we're sat there completely ignorant of. Yes. Like, I might have had a heart attack.

Something has gone catastrophically wrong in the last couple of weeks.

Yes, but we last couple of weeks.

Yes, but we're aware of that. I might have had a heart attack. I might be in the hospital right now and we're like, ah, it's fine. Everything's in hand. It's brilliant. Because that would be a pain because I'm on several things and on the main stage. We'd have to sub in someone else. To summon a lot of people.

Yeah, this is why you need to write a proper briefing document for your panels.

Sod off. I'm not even running any panels this year. Oh yeah, no, because I'm running all of them. Yeah. And have you written a proper briefing document? I'm halfway through writing briefing documents for all of them. Absolute disgrace. So that if I were hit by a bus tomorrow, somebody could do, well, somebody could do half my panel because it's not finished yet. But we are still, spoiler, is still a bit further out from QD. Yeah, you've got plenty of time you get hit by buses. But yeah, that's why I write briefing documents just in case I need to hand over my notes to somebody else. I don't need to.

Well, no, I'm running all the panels. Like, even the ones I'm not literally hosting and planning. Anyway, Skeptus with a K is made by a company for a non-profit. And I'm Mike. That's Alice and this is Marshall. Hello, hello. Hello, hello. How are we doing? We're all right. Two days of QD, we're fine.

Fine. It's not a problem.

It's also at Emma's birthday today. This and this is Marshall. Hello, hello. Hello, hello. How are we doing? We're all right. Two days of QD.

We're fine.

Fine.

It's not a problem.

It's also at Emma's birthday today as well. Emma who gets host on the show reasonably often. We're not having her on for a while, but Emma, Emma, who gets host on the show. She will be speaking at Skeptocamp tomorrow. She will be. Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow.

Which is going to Skeptychamps, come on, fuck me.

I'd like to go to Skeptocamp one time.

Just go there.

I've never been yet.
