Hello everybody. I am Eric Trexler. I'm here with the good Dr. Eric Helms and you are watching or listening to Iron Culture presented by the mass research review. So thanks so much for joining us on this Monday evening. We have a lot to get to Helms. But before we get into all that, let's exchange

0:23.2

the pleasantries, you know, do the whole fake friendship thing. How you doing, buddy? Oh, I'm so glad

0:28.9

that you asked me that. And we can also pretend as much as you want that we care about these

0:34.0

responses. But I'm doing well. The only thing is I was cooking and I was grating carrots.

1:36.3

Like, you don't want to mess with a greater.

1:38.2

I'll take a little miscellaneous scissor cut any day.

1:42.4
