In the tradition of every 50th Skaptoid episode being a lavish musical, we present you with

Episode 650, with music by composer Tyson Ellingworth and vocals by Amelia Barron.

It's a sweet, skeptical, downbeat jam that you'll want to add to your favorite playlist,

and you can get a high quality MP3 of just the song on the transcript page for this episode

You're listening to Skaptoid. I'm Brian Dunning from Skaptoid.com.

Thank you for joining me today, Eric.

You're welcome.

We're driving around the property here in Bendoregan in our electric UTV and totally not

Is that the important thing you wanted to talk to me about?

No. What I wanted to say is that since this is the 650th episode of Skaptoid, this would

be a good time to celebrate by giving you some fatherly advice.

So no, I don't believe I harbor all sorts of pseudoscientific beliefs.

Yeah, but you're pretending to for the purpose of this episode, right?

Ah, yes. I forgot.
