Signoff/Announcements ()

S: —and until next week, this is your Skeptics' Guide to the Universe.

S: Well, thank you all for joining me this week and this year.

E: Yes, great year.

E: It's our pleasure.

E: Thank you.

S: And thank you for joining us, Ian.

S: And Ian, we have to recognize all of the hard work that you do.

S: I know it's mostly behind the scenes.

IC: I know you're going to cut this out.

IC: I know.

IC: It's fine.

S: I'm not going to cut it out.

S: I know you want to be the man behind the curtain, and you never want the spotlight to be focused on you.

S: I get it.

S: But here it is.

S: It's your deep professionalism, and I respect that.

S: But every now and then, we have to acknowledge all of the, not just the hard work that you do, but the real expertise that you bring to the technology.

S: And the all-around awesome tea-drinking guy

B: you are. Yeah.

E: Yeah, you're just fun to be with, too.

E: I love working with you, Ian.

J: I also love eating with you.

J: You're so much fun to have a meal with, man.

J: Thanks, guys.

S: And again, it's not just that, but you've become a really close friend.

S: Again, the people we end up working with, it's not just that they're working for us.

S: It's that they really become part of the family.

S: Yeah, they got the whole package.

S: Family.

S: Yeah, they're absolutely part of the family.

S: Because we have to, you know, we're goombas.

S: You know, we've got to work with family.

S: That's true.

S: That's what I'm about.

J: And while we're talking about Ian, we can't forget Kelly, who has been an intern, tempered for you for us.

E: Thank you, Kelly.

J: Kelly has taken on a lot of the stamina-based work that I do.

J: You know, she does a lot of social media.

J: She's been going through some emails.

J: And I just really appreciate her, and she is awesome.

J: She's helped us in a lot of ways.

J: Thank you for the baked goods, too.

E: They're delicious.

S: Thank you.

S: Since we're spreading the love, we also have to acknowledge one of our primary partners in crime, George Robb.

S: Oh, yes.

E: Yes.

S: Here, here.

S: George is also a great friend, again, somebody that we consider to be family that we met through skepticism.

S: He is the leader of our live events.

S: When we go on an event weekend where we do the extravaganza, you know, George completely runs that.

S: That is all him.

S: And he is, whenever we need anything like real creative, he's our go-to guy.

S: He's just such a funny, creative guy with a great skill set.

S: So he's been a fantastic addition to SGU activity.

J: I love working with George.

J: Yeah.

J: I love – Just love hanging out with him, too.

B: Oh, yeah.

J: Talking to George is so much fun.

J: I mean, I like the group dynamic that we have, and George adds a lot to it.

J: And I particularly love when we're doing the extravaganza and George is out front.

J: You know, we're sitting in the chairs behind him and I just always have this moment where I'm like, oh, my God, this guy is so funny.

J: I love working with him so much.

J: He makes me laugh, I think, more than anybody I know.

B: He's a funny bastard.

B: Holy crap.

B: He comes out with stuff.

B: We're like, holy crap, that was funny.

B: All right.

S: Well, thanks again, everyone.

S: All right, Steve.

S: This is it for real.

S: This is really it.
