We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is...

For June 28, 2024, my name is Bernie Burns.

Sitting right over there.

She beat Medicare, everybody.

She beat it.

It's, um...

You're welcome.

Um, uh, uh, uh, Ashley.

Ashley Burns, everybody. Hey, it's Ashley over there. So, yeah, welcome to Friday, everybody.

Welcome to Friday. It's Friday, everybody. Or as we like to call it, five minutes to midnight for American democracy.

The doomsday clock ticks one little second further. And here we go. This is the podcast where we don't talk about politics. Yeah. And we will do our best, uh, not to dwell on it. But the, um, the presidential debate was last night. I don't know if they're going to have, uh, more than one of these things at this point. It was neither presidential nor a debate discuss Discuss. Yes. Go right ahead. So both Trump and Biden got on camera to have a debate last night.

And I feel like... They stood up the whole time.

They did. So they've got that going for them. So, you know, I'm glad to be where I am. I will say that.

CNN hosted the presidential, is this the first and only, I hope?

Let me look that up.

First of many. Presidential debates last night. That was not a great showing. That was not, that was not a fun thing to watch. We got to watch it this morning.

And we had, I think our reaction, Ashley, is the one that a lot of people have, which is, you know, just sitting there. There was a picture I saw of a woman watching it. And she just had her basically her hands covering her mouth, you know, and that was it. And it's like, that woman is speaking for all of us right now. Well, the good nose, Bernie, is the good news is that they are getting in on the Disney

philosophy that the only thing people love more than a good time is a sequel to a good time.

There is going to be more debate. It looks like they're going to have a rematch
