Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb, and I'm joined by Dr. Scott Keith and Rod Rosenblot.

What we're doing today is a continuation of last week's episode. Right before Christmas,

we decided to kind of answer some listener pleas to define some of our terms that we use throughout the show.

You know, we get really, we know what we're talking about all the time, right?

And so we kind of get comfortable using the same.

Well, we understand each other, I guess would be a better way of putting that.

And so sometimes we just use the same words or phrases over and over again.

So hopefully he understands me.

And as we do that, sometimes I get emails from people saying, hey, I enjoy the show, but I felt kind of left behind in this last episode because I didn't understand.

You know, what's funny, so I'm going to get nostalgic here just for a minute.

I know we're short on time, but don't.

We're not short on time.

You got plenty of time.

When I was at Concordia with Rod, when I first got there, I had only done, I don't know,

maybe three or four classes at junior college was probably not a great student.

I remember sitting in his first classes and being just blown away with the amount of information and terms that I was going to have to know for future reference.

And I'm not saying people should treat this podcast like a college class, but one of the things I found very helpful is I would typically in his class only write down the terms I didn't know

not the ones I did or had an idea of because if I already knew or had an idea I could just follow along with what he was saying and maybe make you know minor adjustments in my thinking on it but if I already had an idea it was easy but it was harder if I had never heard a term before if I had had never heard a term, that was a term I would write down,

and that was the term that I would go back and find an answer to or definition for,

and then come back to him, and if I heard it again,

see what my own sort of research accomplished matched what he was saying and then maybe talk to him

about it if it didn't.
