It is Thursday the 8th of January, 26, in your listening, Skeptics with AK, the podcast for

science, reason and critical thinking.

Skeptics with a K is produced by Skeptic Media in association with the Merseyside

Skeptic Society, a non-profit organization for the promotion of scientific skepticism on Merseyside, Iran, UK and internationally. I'm your host, Mike Hall. With me today is Marsh. Hello. And Alice. Hello. And I hope you both had a nice Christmas and happy New Year to you both. Happy New Year to you, too. We are, I mean, we need to puncture this bubble

early on because it will become useful for what I'm about to, do we talk about, it's not 2026 yet as we're recording this. It is.
