Introduction
You're listening to the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, your escape to reality.
s: Today is Sunday September something - I think it is 6th and this is your host Steven Novella
Joining me as always are Rebeca Watson, Jay Novella, and Evan Burnstein.
r:Hello
e:Can we help you?
r: You gotta love Dragon Con
e: Its Adam Savage
s: The q and a is at the end of this show
r: can someone come here and help me out?
<laughing>
<bob arrives 1:25>
b: I have a speech.
s: and apparently bob novella
e: Hey Bob
b: Ohoy you chumy skummy bilge rats (in a pirate accent)
s: Bob has always wants to say that
r: I thought we above gimmick
j: Rebeca - this isn't a gimmick - he is always wearing that
s: well welcome to Dragon con.
r: Look at you. Don't touch me.
s: Bob is in his un-dead pirate costume for the listeners that are not here
r: it works really well as a pod cast
s: Oh yeah. Oh Yeah So you gotta love dragon con. 2:21
s: first of all I want to thank Derek and Swoopy for getting skepticism and science and pod-casting in to a huge convention like this so thank-you Derrek
this is only our second year but all ready we love coming here. I mean how often do you get to have your picture taken with Alex from a clockwork orange?
r: I'm hiding under the table. Not in a sexy way
s: apparently Andy McDowell has done some other minor roles but we know what he was. But jay keeps calling him Roddy McDowell
r: Yeah jay comes over to me and is like we met Roddy McDowell. Oh holly crap what did he look like.
j: shut up
<laughing>
s: and it is also great because we get to meet a lot of our skeptical friends from around the world that we only have a virtual relationship with and which we don't get to see in person very often. We just met for the first time Dr Rachel Dunlop from Australia. And of course many old friends now.
s: Now I guess you are probably wondering why this picture is up there for. We've definitely noticed however that the skeptics are not in costume and it is starting to feel a little...
b: <murmurs>
s: ... most of the skeptics are not in costume. actually the four guys had a plan for a lame costume for dragon con. We were all going to grow goatees and come as our mirror image evil selves. But we failed but we could not grow decent goatees.
r: George Rhab grew one over night
s: It was pathetic. But here is the lovely Sheryl Loxten who was exploring steam punk as a possible skeptical costume. And I think she pulls it off very well. But we had to replicate this experiment. So.
<some picture is shown>
r: you are really making that work
s: so you can see Rebeca looking on adoringly from the sidelines
j/b: It is not adoringly Steve. 4:43
