Welcome back to Cathy Gantz's Live. I am Psy Kellet, your host, Joe Heschmeier is our guest, both hours.

Today, open form. You can call and ask Joe whatever you like. 888-318-7884 is the number

triple-831 truth. And I am undecided about the first hour. Which do you think made

more people mad? Our division of the baby boomers or our not

derision but historically accurate statements about the Aztecs. Yes. Which do you

think made more people mad? I think maybe the latter based on what the the screeners

were telling us over the break in terms of people calling in upset. I think the

boomers have gotten the okay boomer jokes for so long now that it's just they're

just chill they're just having their flashbacks and doing what they're doing

for the day. So they're probably not mad. But yeah I think as someone who called

misunderstood what you said and thought you said that all Mexicans are Aztecs. But what you

said was the Aztecs are now Mexicans. The descendants of the Aztecs. The area

what was in Chitlon is now Mexico City. It was founded by the Mexica Aztecs who

we should where we get the word Mexico from. But there were a lot of surrounding

tribes many of whom were the victims of the Aztecs and as I mentioned before

helped overthrow the Aztecs. Helped the Spanish actually topple Tenochilán.

Helped them you know yeah get rid of the Aztec empire. So certainly it's not

true that there's like a one-to-one correspondence but you would say what

would happen to the Aztecs which was which was the question well they became

Mexicans. And that the that city that they built really was an engineering marvel

and so sometimes you hear well they were more advanced than the Europeans which

is I mean probably true in certain engineering senses but mostly technologically
