Welcome to Michael and us. I'm Will Sloan, here as always with.

Luke Savage. Hey, everyone.

We're recording this a day before Halloween.

It will hopefully be posted on Halloween or before Halloween.

Maybe you'll hear a little bit about it after.

But there's a real monster this Halloween season and he's in the White House.

Yeah, so we do have a very topical film, maybe topical to the point of fault.

I don't know, for this

week's episode. But before we talk about that, I mean, we are recording this episode a few

days before the U.S. presidential election. So, I mean, some rank punditry is probably called

for. I got my election map worked out, and I think every state is going blue from east to west,

sea to shining sea. It's just going to be a big blue wave. And I'm hoping this prediction will go

viral. I think we can make it happen. Well, you joke, but I have seen a couple versions of that

from who's the guy that actually owned us all

really hard last time. Is it Bill Mitchell? Guys like that. I don't, I haven't seen Bill Mitchell

recently, but guys like that, the sort of like, I don't know, mega sort of alt media types,

like doing these maps that are just completely improbable where like Trump flips New York

red or something

like that. But then similarly you have, you know, they're like, you know, once you uncuck the polls,

like this is what you get or whatever. And then, you know, similarly, the, I think the Krasenstein's

themselves are banned from Twitter, but you know, their spiritual equivalence. I've seen versions of it

where, yeah, it's like the projection you just gave, but unironically.
