Ah, she's brilliant. Miss, I finally got plans out the group chat. We get it. Four votes for a festival,

three for a city break. It's hard to adhere to everyone's needs. There's Betty with her oversized tent.

Sarah and her six foot eight boyfriend.

All right.

Roger Junior and his dog, Roger Senior.

And don't get us started on Mel.

But, like a marriage counselor, she's the one keeping things together.

All aboard Miss I finally got plans out the group chat. Keep everyone's plans alive when you travel

with us. P and Dau Ferries, there is another way.

The Bullwork is coming to Dallas. You guys are going to be there with Bill Crystal, Adam Kinzinger, Sunnybunch.

September 5th, it's a Thursday in Dallas. Go to the Bullwork.com.

events for tickets. Nobody is going to want to buy tickets to see a show with

me and it. So the good news is I won't be there. You'll have Bill Crystal and Adam

Kinzinger who are joyful warriors, happy warriors who are going to be there to fight and it'll be a great show.

Hey there, it's JVL here with my best friend, Sarah Longwell and Tim Miller of the Bulwark. It is Wednesday, July 17th.

Things are things are just fine.

JVial.

JVil, your newsletters have been bleak, man?

I mean bleak, is there a superlative of bleak?

I want to give you a hug.

I'm in your city, I'm in New York. Do you need a hug? Do you need to, do you want to take the metro up to just, we can just do a quick squeeze and then you can go home? Like you don't have to even hang out, but it feels like you need human contact.

I would... Sure, I'll try that.
