There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on the I Heart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hey and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Josh Clark.

There's the beautiful and illustrious Charles W. Chuck Bryant right there.

There's the equally awesome Jerry Jerome Roland right here to my right about to chow down

on some stuff for lunch.

You were just cussing her out before we had record.

What are you talking about?

And this is Stuff You Should Know.

That's right.

A bit of a sort of addition.

Yeah, this was a bit of a mess about Damascus Steel.

It's just my favorite American gladiator.

Oh, that's a good one Chuck.

Pretty good.
