Hello everybody and welcome back. This is Art Hole's. I'm Michael Anthony. You know the deal.

Thank you again for listening, your donations, telling people about whatever's going on here.

Everything you do for the show, I can't say it enough.

There's no housekeeping or updates since episodes three and four are happening at once.

I'm really looking forward to this episode mostly at going out if you're listening to this right now

It means it's real now. It's done. This was a this was a stupid amount of work.

I was in Paris in January, maybe December of last year, January this year.

I thought I was on the way to being done. There's been several iterations of this episode from

research to recording and each time I thought I was done I'd listen and be like, no, it's not,

it's not there, but this time time instead of trying to pull back and

rein things in and be a little more reasonable I decided we're gonna blow things out

for the next couple of hours we're gonna be all over the map.

Honestly we had to blow things out this episode

because of how and why we're going to use some of this stuff

and there's just too much we got to learn about.

And maybe, maybe stuff we don't need to learn about because

need is a strong word that I clearly have trouble defining because my

Maslow's hierarchy isn't so much a pyramid as it's a dart board of whimsy, but we also kind of need to learn about it for a few reasons. You'll see.

So let's not waste any more time. Let's get back into it.

Last episode ended, catastrophically.

How else would you describe it? On July 21st, 1879,

Henri took a little stumble into a ditch. He just tripped and fell and he broke his right femur.
