Welcome back to the Stronger by Science Podcast. My name is Eric Trexler. I am the special temporary primary

host of the show, but for today's episode I wanted to mix things up a little bit and I want to have a co-host so I've invited Greg knuckles he is currently the permanent guest co-host for the time being Greg. Thanks for joining me.

Thanks for having me on. How you doing today? Doing well. How are you? I'm doing great. It's cold out now. I love my cold weather. Very exciting times. That makes one of us, but I'm glad you're happy.

place that we spread that is further from there especially latitude wise.

I just think it's I just think it's a bad move.

It ain't right. We don't have we don't have enough hair, we don't have the blubber. We don't we clear

humans clearly don't have the physiological adaptations necessary to survive in those conditions and like yeah sure

whatever like we're smart we can make clothing we can make fire shelter whatever to be able to technically survive in places that
