Steve: “Evan, get us up to date on Who’s That Noisy?”
Evan: “Yeah, why don’t we play last week’s Who’s That Noisy? Here we go.”
Rebecca: “Yeah, let’s.”
WTN?:
“No, no, no, no! None of these books have a cure. Ugh! There has to be a real reason for this! An illness, an allergy...”
“A curse!”
“I said a real reason. Something that points to something real!”
“How about this one?”
“Supernaturals? Spike, the word ‘supernatural’ refers to things like ghosts, and spirits, and zombies, which are as make-believe as curses!”
Evan: “Okay.”
Bob: “Except the zombies.”
Jay: “So who is that noisy?”
Rebecca: “I know who it is.”
Evan: “Alright, Rebecca.”
Rebecca: “It’s My Little Pony! It’s only like the best toy ever.”
Evan: “That’s right! It is right. That’s exactly correct.”
Rebecca: “I had tons of My Little Ponies as a kid, and that’s what made me a skeptic today.
Steve: “I’m not shocked by that at all.”
Rebecca: “Not actually true, but I did have a ton of My Little Ponies.”
Jay: “There was a My Little Ponies cartoon?!”
Evan: “Oh, several, Jay. There have been several.”
Rebecca: “Yeah! It used to come on right after Gummy Bears.”
Phil: “Wait, Gummy Bears was a show?”
Rebecca: “What? Come on: ‘♫Gummy Bears, bouncing here and there.♫’”
Jay: “You just made that up.”
Rebecca: “No, I swear to god. ‘♫Bouncing here and there and everywhere.♫’”
Steve: “So what were they talking about in that little clip?”
[All laughing]
Phil: “You know, stuff, and things with the stuff.”
Jay: “Basically the Gummy Bears were talking about how not to get eaten.”
Rebecca: “No! The My Little Ponies!”
Evan: “I did not watch the entire episode, but the moral of the story was that the solution was in the-, you know, that going to look for a solution to a problem using a paranormal book is not a good thing to do. And thank you, by the way, to Adam from the Reality Check podcast who brought that to our attention.”
Jay: “Oh cool, hey Adam!”
Steve: “Thanks, Adam. Did anybody guess it right?”
Evan: “Yeah, absolutely, someone did get it right.”
Jay: “And her name was Rebecca Watson.”
Rebecca: “It was me!”
Evan: “His name was Wolpertinger from the message boards, was the only one to guess correctly.”
Steve: “He should be ashamed of himself.”
Jay: “He should see a doctor about that.”
Evan: “Even got the name of the pony: Twilight Sparkle.”
Bob: “Oh boy.”
Jay: “Oh, no.”
Phil: “Twilight Sparkle? Can they sue?”
Steve: “You like Twilight Sparkle?”
Phil: “Can they sue Stephenie Meyer? Twilight Sparkly Vampire!”
Jay: “So basically Evan, what you’re saying is that Wolpertinger wherever he is right now, might be wearing an ‘I love my pony’ T-shirt, or whatever that is.”
Evan: “The T-shirt actually reads, ‘Everything I Learned about Skepticism, I Learned from My Little Pony.”
Rebecca: “That’s so true.”
Phil: “That’s ridiculous, because honestly, everyone knows Hello Kitty is a lot better.”
Rebecca: “What?! Get out of here.”
Evan: “Is Hello Kitty very skeptical?”
Rebecca: “No! Hello Kitty is just a cheap marketing ploy.”
Steve: “Unlike My Little Pony.”
Phil: “Well, I’ve been put in my place.”
Rebecca: “My Little Ponies had content!”
Steve: “And stuff.”

Steve: “There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature, and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?”
