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 Tuesday, July 2, 2019, and this is your host, Steven Ovella.

Joining me this week are Bob novella.

Hey everybody. And Evan Bernstein.

Steve, I think you missed a few names there.

Yeah, I know. We have an intimate crew for this episode.

So both Jay and Kara are traveling independently, independently, uh, yeah, not together.

And both of them were trying to join us, you know, remotely with their laptop and whatever Wi-Fi they have access to where they are.

And both of them cracked out like both of them stayed up. I just, I, Wi-Fi is not working.

Okay, not because yeah, we need, you can't be dropping all the time. It's got to be a reasonable connection.

So it just wasn't going to be possible. So pretty much at the last minute we learned that it was just going to be the three of us.

Unreliable Wi-Fi from hotels and on the road, who would have thought that?

Yeah, I know. We need, uh, we need Elon Musk's, you know, Wi-Fi in the cloud.

We got to launch those satellites and mess up the constellations in the sky so we can have our connections.

But we have more than enough to talk about. We have a great lineup of, uh, of items for today.

So, um, I had a weird day on Friday.

How weird, Steve.

Well, it was, first it was sad because my 16, we had to put down our 16 year old dog, Quince.

Oh, that's terribly sad. Quincey.

Yeah, good run for a dog, though.

Very good golden retriever mix. Sweet, sweet dog, great family dog.

Basically had that had him for the entire life of my daughters.
