We are here live in Phoenix, Arizona with Blake. Now, Blake, welcome. We have lots to talk about. I do have to start this with difficult Roman trivia.
Oh, dear. All right. Just one. Okay. Hit me.
All right. I think you're going to get this, though. All right? I'd better. You're not allowed to get it wrong. What Roman general was awarded the Spoila Opima, the rarest military honor in Roman tradition? You can't look it up, Blake. For killing an enemy king in a single combat was the only third man in Roman history to receive it. Ugh.
So the original one who did it, Romulus supposedly does it. And then, what's the second one?
Think about it. You have all segment to think about it.
Ah, crap.
We're also going to have a conversation. Blake is like jostling back and forth.
He killed a Celtic chieftain. Is it Regulus something? No.
I don't fault you for getting it wrong because I can't even pronounce it. I know what it is. I know what he got it for. I can't remember the guy's name.
The initials are MLC. MLC. There's not that many possible names.
It's Crassus. Marcus Licinius Crassus.
Marcus Licinius Crassus has it?
Unless ChatGPT is wrong.
Okay, so it might be the grandfather or something of the famous one, because the famous Marcus Licinius Crassus is just a really rich guy, and he walks 10 feet over the border with Persia. The younger. It says the younger. The younger. Okay, so this is probably a different Crassus then. You have some homework to do. Okay, I'll have to go polish up on the spoiler.
Just to be fair, I asked ChatGPT for the hardest PhD advanced level questions.
Really? Do you have another fun hard one?
I will. You got to earn it. All right. But speaking of which, so Blake, I stumbled upon this about someone in D.C. I was just in D.C. recently. I was at the White House. And they said, Charlie, we really think you should do a segment to look into this because it deals with the college scam, the college cartel. I never even heard about this. I thought this was a water company, Springer Nature. I thought this is like Dasani. And it's all about basically academic journals. effectively funded by the taxpayer. This is a world that most people don't actually know about. So let's first just explain the medium. What is this whole academic journal world? How does it exist and why does it matter?
Okay, yeah. So since people might not really grasp this, the way science is conducted in the modern world is basically through the medium of journals. So if you are a researcher at MIT... You'll have a lab, you'll have a study you conduct on literally anything, whether this is medicine, chemistry, computer science, and you'll do a bunch of work, and then you'll compile it into a paper, and it could be 10 pages long, it could be 500 pages long. You'll compile it into a paper, and then the way you make it official is basically you will submit it to a journal.
