That's the Ancient World Podcast.

We're into the third hour here. So the wheel's probably going to come off. We're a little loose, but good things happen.

You're saying they're still on. That's good. That's good. That says something about my performance so far. I was wondering. My wheels feel more on than off right now. And I know, I mean, you just got off a plane after a long trip yesterday. So you're holding it together. I'm impressed. Yeah. We may or may not have recorded a lengthy office hours for zero to write about our high school experience for reasons that will become clear.
