honorary nerd of Ender, leader of Redwood Girls,

Tarot Ender, sociologist, anthropologist,

all around awesome human being, and it's great to have you back and to get to speak one-on-one

because one or two things are happening.

Anything top of mind?

Here we go. Oh, here we go.

This morning, I was just having my first cup of coffee and on my new spade,

my dreetail, a grain, temporary speaker of the house.

The happy hookah, there she is,

microphone, I couldn't actually function.

It's a miracle I'm here, Mary.

It's a miracle we're all here.

And just to be clear, I didn't know this until you came on and we were speaking before the show.

And when you said it, I mean, I know what this speaker, speaker contemporary means,

but my brain froze.

Like I think it was a brain-bait way.

My neurons started firing because they resisted sending the signals across the synapses.

That would have me actually believe such things.

So yes, don't panic everybody.

It doesn't technically really mean that much.

It just means that while I guess Kevin McCarthy is busy kissing Tucker Carlson's

ass in some back room at Fox, he wasn't available to do the job he's actually paid to do.
