Summary

Watch Episode 1 Here: https://youtu.be/VHBTMm94yeM

In this episode, we lean heavily into the history and culture side of Iron Culture and discuss ancient history, specifically, ancient warfare and its accompanying physical culture. For those who don’t know, Omar teamed up with the History Channel to host a series that just launched on the History Channel’s YouTube and streaming service titled “Ancient Workouts”. You can catch the first episode which is already out now, and in this episode, we discuss some of the coolest aspects of the show. Specifically, we evaluate the various tropes we have in modern times about the physicality, training, and diets of Vikings, Spartans, Gladiators, and others, and dissect how these tropes compare to actual historical evidence. If you didn’t know, Omar is actually somewhat of an amateur historian, so you’ll get the rare experience of hearing him go in on a topic, while Eric listens and learns.

0:35.4	You know, none of those controversies took hold, like you said. But nonetheless, we've got a blank slate. And we're kicking things off with
0:43.0	some pretty exciting stuff, in my opinion. Um, Omar, I want to know how long it's going to be
0:49.5	before you stop returning my texts because you are just way too big time. How long? So that is
0:56.1	unfortunately because I lost my phone, not because I'm not returning your text. Also, if you look
1:01.8	out your window, you'll see adjacent to your complex is actually this place. So I have a green
1:07.4	screen behind me to cover up your identity because where I am would give everyone immediate knowledge of where you are in New Zealand.
1:15.7	So this is a green screen.
1:16.6	This is like the old background.
1:18.4	But anyways, I'm here.
1:19.8	The lockdown could stop me.
1:20.7	Oh, you're next door in a building.
1:22.0	That's what you're saying.
1:22.6	What's that?
1:23.4	You're next door in a building in Auckland, New Zealand.
1:25.7	Yes.
