'''S:''' Evan, give us the last quote of the year. Last quote of 2020. | |||
'''E:''' The last quote of 2022 by another scientist who unfortunately we lost in 2022. | |||
'''E:''' Here's what she said. | |||
'''E:''' I always knew I wanted to be a doctor. | |||
'''E:''' Unfortunately, my parents believed that girls should do as well as boys. | |||
'''E:''' So off I set. | |||
'''E:''' Audrey Evans, born March 6, 1925, died September 29, 2022. | |||
'''E:''' Pediatric oncologist who is known as the mother of neuroblastoma. | |||
'''E:''' Whoa, nice. | |||
'''E:''' And one of the co-founders of Ronald McDonald House. | |||
'''E:''' Now, she was known as the mother of neuroblastoma because of all the advances, research, and work that she did for this type of cancer. | |||
'''E:''' After years of treating this type of cancer, she reduced the mortality rate caused by neuroblastoma by about 50% and currently the survival rate is above 85% thanks to her. | |||
'''E:''' In fact, there is something called the Evans Staging System for Neuroblastoma. | |||
'''E:''' It is named for her. | |||
'''E:''' Awesome. | |||
'''E:''' Sure it's not named after you? | |||
'''E:''' Oh, yeah. | |||
'''E:''' Well, of course. | |||
'''E:''' Yes, asterisk. | |||
'''E:''' I'm fond of that name. | |||
'''J:''' Hey, Steve. | |||
'''J:''' Yeah. | |||
'''J:''' I think every year I say something about the hard work that you put in and how- He says work harder. | |||
'''J:''' Without your leadership and persistent banging on the table to get us to do everything that we have to do to get this show done, it wouldn't get done. | |||
'''J:''' I mean, by Steve's force of will, you know, like the spice. | |||
'''J:''' He's like a mentat. | |||
'''J:''' You make, you know, force of mind, whatever. | |||
'''J:''' Remember that? | |||
'''IC:''' Sure. | |||
'''IC:''' Name that reference. | |||
'''IC:''' Come on. | |||
'''J:''' But I wanna thank you, Steve. | |||
'''J:''' Do it. | |||
'''J:''' I wanna thank you for taking me on this amazing journey which is the SGU. | |||
'''J:''' It's like, you know, from the very beginning, I never thought in a million years that we would be what we are and be able to do the things that we do and I owe it all to you. | |||
'''S:''' Thank you, brother. | |||
'''S:''' It is a fun journey to take with all of you guys, with my family and friends, my close friends. | |||
'''S:''' You guys are all family. | |||
'''S:''' We're family. | |||
'''E:''' I mean, let's face it. | |||
'''E:''' We are family. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah. | |||
'''S:''' It is a family. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah, I mean, this would be so– Spooky and spooky. | |||
'''S:''' I could do this by myself, but why? | |||
'''S:''' It wouldn't–it would be really boring. | |||
'''S:''' You know what I mean? | |||
'''S:''' The collaboration is fun, getting together is fun. | |||
'''S:''' As I said, like this is like the funnest two, three hours of my week chatting with all you guys even though it's virtual. | |||
'''S:''' It's still great to get together with everybody. | |||
'''S:''' And what's more fun to talk about than science and critical thinking? | |||
'''S:''' Oh, my gosh. | |||
'''E:''' Seriously. | |||
'''E:''' Absolutely. | |||
'''B:''' Our voices will be on the internet until the post-apocalypse. | |||
'''B:''' I have to tell an anecdote now about this. | |||
'''S:''' So we were driving to the airport. | |||
'''S:''' All the guys were in the car. | |||
'''S:''' Well, no George, no Cara, but the guys from Connecticut were all in the car. | |||
'''S:''' And we had a driver to take us to the last leg. | |||
'''S:''' We wouldn't have to park at the airport. | |||
'''S:''' And so we're just having a typical conversation, right? | |||
'''S:''' We were chatting about what we were gonna be covering on the upcoming, you know, live shows that we were gonna do. | |||
'''S:''' We were talking about Fusion. | |||
'''S:''' We were talking about the chat GPT and a bunch of other stuff about Artemis, you know, all the good stuff. | |||
'''S:''' And about 40-50 minutes into the ride, we're getting close to the airport. | |||
'''S:''' The driver, do you know him personally, Ian? | |||
'''S:''' I know you helped him with the ride. | |||
'''IC:''' No. | |||
'''IC:''' He's like a mutual. | |||
'''S:''' He was just a random guy. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah. | |||
'''S:''' So he's just like, who are you guys? | |||
'''S:''' He's like, I have to say– | |||
'''B:''' I thought he said, what are you guys? | |||
'''S:''' Oh, yeah. What are you guys? | |||
'''S:''' This is the most interesting– No, he said who? | |||
'''S:''' I think this is the most interesting conversation I've ever heard. | |||
'''S:''' And he was just like fascinated by the whole thing. | |||
'''S:''' Like, who the hell talks like that? | |||
'''S:''' So we told him, yeah, well, we do this for a living, basically. | |||
'''S:''' Like, we've been doing it for 17 years, having conversations like this and making it interesting. | |||
'''S:''' And it was fun because we were just chatting. | |||
'''S:''' Like, we weren't doing a show, but it was the same conversation. | |||
'''S:''' You know what I mean? | |||
'''S:''' Which I think has always been the strength of our show– | |||
'''B:''' Yeah, for sure. | |||
'''S:''' –is that it is like we're just having a chat among friends who are interested in science and critical thinking and that sort of thing. | |||
'''S:''' And just cool sci-fi stuff. | |||
'''IC:''' Yeah. | |||
'''IC:''' Shout out to Tim. | |||
'''IC:''' You'll hear this after you've been through several hundred episodes. | |||
'''E:''' You'll eventually hear it. | |||
'''E:''' He was a nice guy. | |||
'''IC:''' And speaking of it, shout out to our patrons and listeners who keep this thing afloat. | |||
'''E:''' You know? | |||
'''E:''' Yes. | |||
'''E:''' Hear, hear. | |||
'''J:''' Yeah, our patrons have an awesome thing going on in Discord, by the way. | |||
'''J:''' I mean, I keep talking to Sharon, who is one of the mods on Discord. | |||
'''J:''' What a community. | |||
'''J:''' The SGU has a vibrant, happy, and very discussion-heavy community going on. | |||
'''J:''' And we really appreciate every single patron that we have out there on or off Discord. | |||
'''J:''' I mean, we really couldn't do it without you guys. | |||
'''J:''' It means the world to us that you believe in what we're doing enough to become a part of it in a sense. | |||
'''J:''' I hope you have a wonderful holiday. | |||
'''J:''' Happy New Year. | |||
'''J:''' And to the rest of you guys, it is my honor to work with all of you. | |||
'''J:''' Likewise. | |||
'''S:''' It really is. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah. | |||
'''S:''' Likewise. | |||
'''S:''' And I agree. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah. | |||
'''S:''' Again, this would be a pretty empty exercise if we weren't part of a bigger community, if there weren't people out there who were giving us feedback, sending us emails, being part of the discussion. | |||
'''S:''' I think there's a lot of negative things you could say about social media and the impact it's had on the world. | |||
'''S:''' But I think the one big positive thing is that it turns communication into a dialogue. | |||
'''S:''' You know what I mean? | |||
'''S:''' We're not just lecturing. | |||
'''S:''' We're not talking at people. | |||
'''S:''' We're having a dialogue and it's part of a broader discussion and dialogue, whether it's in the comments or on over email or on the Discord or on Facebook. | |||
'''S:''' That's the best way to learn. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah. | |||
'''S:''' And we consume a lot of that. | |||
'''S:''' We are taking all that feedback. | |||
'''S:''' It's constantly being directed back into the show. | |||
'''S:''' And that's, again, the other thing that has made this an awesome ride is just the community of critical thinkers and skeptics out there that we're interfacing with. | |||
'''S:''' Really, really happy with the community that we've helped to build. | |||
'''S:''' Hear, hear. | |||
'''S:''' Roger that. | |||
'''S:''' All right, guys. | |||
'''S:''' Well, congratulations on another year. | |||
'''S:''' We've basically completed 17 years of the SGE. | |||
'''S:''' We're going into year 18. | |||
'''S:''' Oh, my God. | |||
'''S:''' Yes. | |||
'''S:''' Oh, man. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah. | |||
'''S:''' Bring it. | |||
'''S:''' Yeah, let's do it. | |||
'''S:''' It is amazing. | |||
'''S:''' We're two years away from our 1,000th episode. | |||
'''S:''' Oh, my gosh. | |||
'''S:''' 1,000? | |||
'''E:''' Yeah. | |||
'''E:''' Each part out, Joe Rogan. | |||
'''B:''' Something special, like broadcast naked something. | |||
'''B:''' I have one thing from the listeners for the | |||
'''IC:''' year in review. They love Bob's innuendo, gird your loins. | |||
'''IC:''' So maybe that'll do the merch. | |||
'''IC:''' No, they don't. | |||
'''IC:''' They're lying. | |||
'''IC:''' Drop a little Gird Your Loins in Bob's face. | |||
'''B:''' I have my finger on the pulse of awesomeness. | |||
'''B:''' That would be a good T-shirt. | |||
'''S:''' It would be around Gird Your Loins. | |||
'''B:''' Gird Your Loins with the SGE. | |||
'''J:''' No. | |||
'''E:''' Cara gets a B-tool over that, I think. | |||
'''S:''' It just means to tie up your tunic. | |||
'''S:''' That's all it means, Cara. | |||
'''C:''' Yeah, it's totally how Bob's using it. | |||
'''E:''' I know. | |||
'''B:''' Adjust your loin cloth. | |||
'''B:''' It has so many meanings. | |||
'''B:''' That's why I love it. | |||
'''B:''' All right. | |||

B: It has so many meanings.
B: That's why I love it.
B: All right.

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.
