- 20:38Speaker 2: Heracles brought home his mistress to live with them, assuming
- 20:42Speaker 2: his wife would be fine with it. He was strong,
- 20:45Speaker 2: but not too bright, he said, I did not a
- 20:49Speaker 2: fact check this. I prefer to go with my faulty memory.

- 20:55Speaker 2: we thought that was funny enough to add if it's
- 20:57Speaker 2: true or not. So if you are wanting to memorize that,
