Hello and welcome to citation needed, the podcast where we choose a subject, read a single article about it on Wikipedia and pretend we're experts because this is the internet and that's how it works now.

I'm Noah. I'm going to be leading this expedition, but I'll need some assistance. First up, the earth, wind, and fire of the podcast, Tom, Cecil, and Heath. Makes sense. I do have a natural funk about me. Nice. These guys are so jealous that I am Wind. So jealous right now. I'm so mad that you're wind. Are you Earth or are you fire? I think I'm Earth. Your Earth on fire? Yeah, yeah.

I gave you the best one.

I thought I expected to win it would just be a fart joke.

It is.

And I'm jealous.

And we're also excited to welcome in the world's leading Eli substitute from the

No World Warland Experience.

And Skeptics with a K is the one and only Michael Marshall.

Thanks very much.

I am in my element to be here.

Oh, well done, sir.

And before we get going, I want to remind everybody that our patron dollars don't just

go to frivolous shit like rent and food.

Sometimes we need to pay ransom.

Incidentally, Eli will be back next week, but how many figures he has may or may not be up to your willingness to pony up some fucking Patreon donations. If you'd like to learn how to join their ranks, be sure to stick around to the end of the show. And with that out of the way, tell us Cecil, what person, place, thing, concept phenomenon, or event what we'll be talking about today. Today we're going to be talking about storm chasing.

Oh, awesome. So Tom, you read an article about it, and it's a metaphor for your daily existence.

Are you ready to tell us about storm chasing?

I am at the very least ready to read about storm chasing.

All right. All right. So, Tom, tell us about your subject.

But more importantly, tell us about yourself.

Look, sometimes when I'm looking for articles to use for this show.
