You know Alice is excited whenever she starts throwing out nay. When she's excited, nay is... That's your sign. When Alice throws out nay, you know she's excited. And I'm a big fan of nay as well. Nay! Nay. I'm not a horse, but... Not at all.

Look, if we had a history podcast, we'd do like five episodes on this. I kind of want to do five episodes anyway, because it's an awesome story. And as Alice said, I mean, this is the history of the country and exploration and everything else. And it takes you way back, you know, into the time before time. You know, I mean, we're in the colonial period. We're in the 1500s.

And this is, it's hard to overstate sort of 1492 and the effect it had on the world. I mean... Whatever you think about Columbus, and he's a controversial figure these days, the discovery of the Americas by the Europeans is one of those things that shattered the world.

And Columbus, although he was Italian, he had sailed for Spain. And Spain had taken massive advantage of this. And if you know anything about this time period, basically the Portuguese were these master navigators. And they had figured out how to sail all the way around Africa to Asia. And the spice trade was huge. You know, you think about a world in which you don't have pepper.
