Hey there, probably scientists. I hope the holidays are treating all of you well and that 2014 was all that you would hope it would be.

Earlier this month, we backlogged some episodes knowing that all three of us were going to be out of town for a while.

And we had hoped that by now we'd all be back and putting out some new episodes.

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

But luckily, we have a very special treat in the form of a bonus episode in which Jesse interviews

his father, Lizard. That's right. His name is Lizard. I haven't actually heard it yet. He just sent

over the files. I'm just going to tack it on here and put it out. And I'll be listening to it

about the same time that you will. I'm excited to check it out. I don't know how sciencey or non-sciencey it'll be, but it should be awesome. Before we get to that, though,

I want to thank everybody for what has been a great year for us. It's, it's been a delight

having all of you as listeners. We couldn't ask for a nicer, more intelligent, dare I say,

better looking fan base. You guys are, are great. And we appreciate all that you do for the show,

whether it's donating, doing your shopping through our Amazon link.

That was a huge help this holiday season or just listening and recommending that your friends listen.

That is such a great thing.

And we're excited about putting out some new shows for you soon and having some great guests we've been working on for a long time.

So stay tuned.

And next week we will be back with the full team, or at least two-thirds of us.

And we'll get to all of the administrative things and thanking the specific donors we've had over the last month.

There were a lot of you.

So don't worry, we will not forget you.

But until then, please enjoy a bonus episode for the holidays to bring you into 2015 with Jesse Case and his dad Lizard.

Probably science.
