Hello and welcome to the armchair expert.

I'm Dack Shepard.

And I'm Monica.

Welcome, Monica.

Let's tell everyone what this podcast is all about.

Because there's so many.

How would you select? 1 there's one there's over a billion known podcast some of them aren't even known yet and so we just want to tell you a little bit what about what makes this one unique

first of all it has a stupid

name so it's called the armchair expert right yeah yeah why is it called that it's

called that because I learned this expression in a biology class in college and it was in reference to the 17th century

evolutionary biologists who sat in armchairs and they theorized about how the world worked, how evolution worked, and then they did absolutely no lab work, no field work, no studying whatsoever.

They just said this makes sense and if people thought that made sense then everyone ran with it.

Mm-hmm. It's very you. It's very me right? Yeah because I make a lot of big sweeping

statements and generalizations and I rarely back them up with any kind of research.

Yeah, but you bring a lot of fervor.

I do. I do. I have conviction when I say them enough so that you might you might take it as a fact. So that's where Monica's

going to come in. She's going to keep me honest at the end of every one of these

conversations. She's going to fact check me and she's going to expose me when I'm a fraud.

Which is probably going to be very rare.
