Hello and welcome to Classical Stuff.

You Should Know a podcast about books and ideas and philosophy and whatever we've been thinking about recently.

My name is Thomas Magby.

I'm joined as always by Mr. Graham Donaldson. Hello. And Mr. A.J. Hanenberg. Now, I probably should have looked this up beforehand.

We've been at this for a while, right, guys? Does anyone know how many episodes we're up to?

Ballpark. 238-ish. Somewhere around there. Now, 139. Something that listeners may not know is that

there are some kind of like consistent underlying themes that you must listen very closely to all of our recordings to get the message behind it.

Now, Graham's going to walk us through some of those principles today.

And then you can go back and listen to all 238 hours of us talking and kind of pull out some of those themes.

That's what you're talking about today right we were talking about hidden secret messages

Yes that are hidden inside right. Yeah, when you say there's 238 hours of us talking that sounds exhausting. That's even understating because we have in-between episodes plus AMAs. Yeah, it's a lot. People listen to this. The windiest wind eggs has never felt more palpable than right now.

So, I mean, to get through every single episode, you would have to play episode one through episode 238 for like a week and a half straight.

Yeah.

No break, right?

No break.

Add in between episodes and you've got a couple extra days, yeah.

Yeah, it's pretty rough.

That's actually, I mean, a week and a half, that's not that much.

In two weeks?

I'm just talking.

In seven years or whatever.

Yeah.
