You're listening to the skeptics guide to the universe.

Your escape to reality.

Hello and welcome to the skeptics guide to the universe.

Today is Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025, and this is your host, Stephen Novella.

Joining me this week, or Bob Novella.

Hey, everybody.

Kara Santa Maria. Howdy. Jay Novella. Hey, guys. Evan Bernstein. Hello, everyone. And George Robb. See you in September. It's great to have you on the show. Oh, nice to be here, even though I'm here and you're there. But still, you idea of us being here together is what it's... We're all virtually here, basically. I'm really way over here. It's true. I can see you from here. I can see your house from here. Is that a Sarah Palin reference? That's a very old joke. So, George, we wanted to have you you join us just partly because we love having you on

the show and you're going to join us for the whole show but two and a half weeks from now two

weeks from when the show comes out we are going to be together in lawrence kansas kansas can you

believe it's going to be a lot of fun okay Okay. Who amongst us has been to Kansas before?

Because I have not.

I don't think I have.

I don't quite remember, though.

Wow.

And you were there. And you were there. Seriously, right? How many Wizard of Oz references can we throw in to this trip? I'm excited. I'm excited. I think it's going to be really cool because it's like the kind of place you go where I think the people that are going to be at these shows are going to be really into it and appreciative of this of this kind of science island arriving, perhaps, much like the wizard in the balloon stopping by for a few minutes to be like, it's okay.

We're all on the same team.

Yay.

Yeah, so we're doing a extravagance.

That's the nighttime show.

That's the nighttime show. We change that every time we do it.

We change at least one little thing about it. We keep iterating it. And it keeps getting better.

People ask us, like, what is this show? What do you guys do?
