I listened to ep.38 and you were pretty accurate in your descriptions. These podcasts are long but a fun listen if you have the time.

Just an observation, the military tribe definitely takes the cake when it comes to pointing out non-tribe members. They always use the term civilians, in a way that irks me slightly. "In the military we learned X" is different than "see what civilians don't know is that we in the military learned X". I love watching numberphile videos, because they dumb down math and make it interesting for a person like me, but it would get old real quick if all the mathematicians kept referring to us as "non-mathematician" or "civilians".
