Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast live stream number 59. I am as always sitting

0:17.4

with Dr. Heather Hying. And we are going to discuss all sorts of interesting things. Today

0:22.1

some of them a holdover from the last episode, which very well received and we did not

0:28.1

get to everything. So we didn't and we're not going to get to everything we planned

1:46.9

say that I think I felt that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right. So sure. Yeah. We got to

1:54.0

come. I was thinking much more locally at the at the cosmological level, just the the

1:58.9

whole solsticeness of it. But but we'll get there. Ah, yes. Yes. I don't know. Does
