Merry Christmas you filthy animals! And a Happy New Year! We reminisce about the first season, talk Christmas, and plan a little for 2026. Thank you all for listening in 2025, we're looking forward to next year and next season!

Welcome to the first ever installation of Story Time with Uncle Dan! He's my uncle, and he told us a story. It's our first attempt at an interview and, you know, things happened. We might talk over each other occasionally due to some latency issues on the call, but buckle up, because it's a wild one.

Did I mention I'm not an audio engineer recently?

Intro music prod. Ty Cobb Here Oh wait...there is no intro music this week. Oh well!

Nick's computer is dying. I'm out of brandy. My computer stops us from recording several times. But who cares because we're BACK! Welcome to episode 11 and do enjoy what are probably sane volume levels. This week we talk some serious financial crisis (it's not serious), and may have a good science tangent, but you get to decide that. Enjoy!

So it turns out I still have no idea how audio engineering works. Fortunately one of you fine listeners informed me that last weeks episode was EXTREMELY QUIET! As such, E10.1.1 will be the same Fermi Paradox episode, but at an actually audible level. Enjoy!

Skip ahead to the NEXT episode. Which is this episode, but with audio levels that you can actually hear. = ) Thanks!

Ted and Nick once again join farces to podcast for the people! In this weeks episode we have a lengthy discussion about drugs, and war. We don't recommend either, but apparently some years ago doing both at the same time was the hot ticket, so quit methin' around and smash that play button!
