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

Luke Savage, welcome back, everyone.

There's a breaking story here. I want

to just mention off the top. This is from the Washington Post from Lauren Gurley and Jeff Stein,

top labor official union leader among contenders for labor secretary. Somebody sent this to me,

and I thought it must be a joke, but it's not apparently. The White House is vetting top labor official

Julie Sue and the president of the country's largest flight attendance union, Sarah Nelson,

to lead the Department of Labor after Labor Secretary Marty Walsh steps down in March,

three people familiar with the matter said Friday. So look, Sarah Nelson of the flight

attendance union is definitely not going to be

the next American Secretary of Labor, but that's incredibly cool. I hope someone at the White House

falls asleep or something during the vetting so that that happens because Sarah Nelson is one of

the coolest labor leaders in the United States right now. Anyway, it won't happen, but, you know,

one can dream.

Well, we've got a jam-packed episode full of interesting things. We've got a good movie on this

episode. The Patreon episode this week will not be a good movie to say the least. Uh, by the way,

you can see some of our Patreon episodes at patreon.com slash Michael and us. In fact, you can see all of them at patreon.com slash Michael and us for a mere five Yankee

dollars a month.

Yeah, we'll get the advertisement out of the way right off the top.

For $5 a month, you can subscribe at the Al Gore tier.

I don't know what that is in Euros or Iraqi Dinar's or any other currency.

But five Yankee dollars a month gets you the Al Gore tier,
