Introduction

You're listening to the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, your escape to reality.


S: Hello and welcome to the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe. Today is Wednesday, December 22nd, 2022, and this is your host, Steven Novella. Joining me this week are Bob Novella ...

IC: What's up guys!

E: THE Ian. Oh my Gosh.

C: He speaks!

E: I've heard about you.

IC: Yeah, I did my Youtuber intro so I hope that works.

S: Yeah, there you go. Ian is our tech-guru. He is a, he's our right-hand man for everything in terms of making the show actually function. And...

IC: Left for Jay though.

(laughter)

S: Yeah.

IC: Cause he is left-handed, nevermind, sorry.

S: Jay's left hand. And you did the year end review with us last year.

IC: True.

S: So this is now the second year in a row so it's oficially a tradition.

IC: That's right. You even invited me on after the watermelon incident. Which is...

S: I did.

IC: ... Something.

(laughter)

B: Yeah we don't talk about that.

S: Had to give it some time. I love how like when we do our live streaming events now Ian is always this disembodied voice, right, who never shows his face.

B: Ever.

IC: Truth.

S: But...

E: Ever.

S: Ian's official emoji is the watermelon. That's Ian, is the watermelon.

C: Well, yeah.

J: Watermelon!

E: That's it. That's it. Gallagher and Ian.

S: If you don't know what we are talking about, during the 12-hour show, it was like comically perfect, we couldn't have made this happen if we tried to. (laughter) We were going to... we had on a guest who was in their forge and they have a press and they were crushing different things. And they were just about to crush a watermelon when Ian hit a button accidentally and we went to some other video and we missed it.

IC: No, it was the internet.

S: It was a one time live event.

C: Oh it was the internet, huh?

IC: I slipped and fell, sort of. You can go watch it, it's still available, so, we don't have to go through it too much anymore, thank you.

(laughter)

J: Spectacular.

S: It was spectacular, yeah.

E: It's not like we were building up all day to that moment...

IC: Yeah, really.

E: ...or anything like that.

S: But the thing is, it was like, it turned out to be funnier than if we just watched the watermelon get crushed. You know what I mean?

E: True.

S: It was epic. It was epic.

J: The thing about it was it was literally like Steve said, the timing couldn't have been more perfect. It was like you were about to see something, you know exactly what you were about to see and the second it was about to begin it got pulled away from all of us.

IC: Yeah.

J: So everybody was sitting there going 'huuuh!?'

C: Oh, and it's not like it just got pulled away, he came back right after it was over.

(laughter)

IC: The second after.

E: Oh my god, it's true.

IC: What can I say, I'm a comedic genius, I'm sorry, just can't help it, it's natural.

B: Yes, Ian you are and from my point of view you just gotta, just roll with this, because I've been living with simmilar accolade if you will. For many years after the first time I ever said hello on episode 1 way back.

J: Hellouu.

E: 2005.

S: Literal first word on the SGU. It's infamous.

B: First word, I still think Steve, I still think Steve edited it and it's not what was really said. You just gotta roll with it man.

IC: Ok, thank you.

E: Ian, it's not like things like this have legs, there a thing called the Heidi game, the Heidi incident in professional sports.

J: Heidi heigh.

E: The Jest are playing the Oakland Raiders on national television on a Sunday [inaudible] millions of people watching and it's a big exciting game right down to the last play and they switch it over to see Heidi.

C:(laughs)

S: Oh yeah.

E: Classic old Heidi movie.

S: Oh my god.

E: And the country went crazy over it and it's forever know as 'The Heidi Incident' so it's, you know, and that was 1972.

C: Yeah everybody totally forgot.

IC: Oh yeah, so it only lasted fifty somewhat years.

E: I just had to remind everyone, so yeah, you're good for about fifty years.

IC: Ok. Perfect.

C: Oh yeah, that fifty years by the way. Just as a nice reminder that 1972 was FIFTY freaking years ago.

E: Oh, some of us were there.

S: So, this is our Year End Review show, we're gonna look back at 2021. The good, the bad, science, pseudoscience, how the SGU did, our funniest moments. If this were a TV show this would be a flashback episode, you know. Do you guys watch those flashaback? Like, sometimes when I see 'Oh, this is a flashback episode' I just turn the chanel.

C: Me too, I skip it. (laughs)

(laughter)

IC: Or if the do 'todorolo, todorolo, todorolo'

(laughter)

E: Wayne's World.

IC: Excellent.

C: But the difference is, we, this is more like the director's cut. Because in those shows they're just repackaging old footage which is annoying. But what we're doing is we are talking about all the old stuff.

S: Yeah. That's right.

C: We're not just gonna play some old clips.

S: Here's a clip from March... yeah, we're now gonna do that.

E: Here's something you've already listened to.
