0:00.0	Hello, this is Matt from the Explorers podcast. I want to invite you to join me on the voyages and journeys of the most famous explorers in the history of the world. These are the thrilling and captivating stories of Vigelin, Shackleton, Lewis, and Clark, and so many other famous and not so famous adventures from throughout history.
0:22.8	Go to Explorespodcast.com or just look us up on your podcast app.
0:27.0	That's the Explorers Podcast.
0:30.9	One thing I set out to do in this book was to really press the question, if John knows the synoptics,

1:28.5	Yes. I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm sympathizing with you. I brought home, uh, from Dragon Con in Atlanta.
1:33.9	Uh, I brought home a number of comic books, a number of T-shirts and a head cold.
1:39.2	Yeah. Which I'm not happy about, but apparently you're allergic to dragons.
1:44.5	Anyway, uh, we should introduce our guest.
1:46.6	We have a guest this week on the show.
1:49.0	Please say hello, everybody, to Hugo Mendez,
