What's up, everybody? Welcome back to Iron Culture presented by the mass research review.

I'm Eric Trexler with me, as always, is I was going to say Eric Trexler brought to you by the

mass research review. It more or less true still, but joined as always by the Dr. Eric Helms, fresh out of New Zealand

where it is officially tomorrow. So how is your morning going? It's going well. Yeah, I'm

Then they have the quote unquote academic side of it of like, you know, students being enrolled.

And they both have slightly different structures.
