It is a much-needed can opening. I enjoy J.J. Sexton, this is the Weekender edition of

my Rick podcast. Nick, I don't know about you. My head is spinning a little bit, the speed at which

things are changing and happening. How are you doing, pal? I think we had forgotten what it was like

when he was in office last time, just how on a daily, hourly basis, you know, the news would come fast and furious. You know, we get more ridiculous as every item comes through the wire. But he's reminding us pretty quickly this how, how, how it's a fire hose, Jared. It's the fire hose and our mouths are all wide open. Have you ever had a friend? I've been thinking about this a lot. Have you ever had a friend who you were around for a long period of time and that friend was wild? Go on. Just sort of like chaotic.

your lives all the time you sort of like become um normalized to it and then if you don't see them

for a very long time and then maybe you meet for a beer or something and you're like, whoa, I forgot what this was like. You know what I'm talking about? That I know for sure, yes.

Why we don't hang out with that person anymore.

that nobody else does. And this is information that we need to not only get acquainted with,

but we need to prepare ourselves for. That's what this podcast is for. Patreon.com slash my Craig

podcast. Nick, we, um, we prep these episodes and, you know, we sort of like

bring sort of, uh, uh, uh, an apparatus to it, right? Like a scaffolding to it. In the past couple

of days, things have been happening so quickly that it is a major, major challenge to approach all of it at once.

And we have seen an absolute maelstrom of nominations by Donald Trump. I assume wink, wink,

nudge, he's the one making all these decisions. But we're going to go through just this whole

gaggle of assholes. And Nick, we are going to start through just this whole gaggle of assholes.
