Summary
This episode kicks off 2025 by humorously debunking psychic predictions for 2024 and then having the rogues offer their own, surprisingly accurate, forecasts. The team then delves into major science news, including upcoming space missions, concerns about emerging diseases like bird flu, and a new cosmological model suggesting dark energy may not exist. A serious discussion covers the dangers of pseudoscience, prompted by a fatal Bigfoot search.Episode description
