Man you guys I'll tell you this election choosing between Kamil Harris and Donald Trump

I I know it's important I know voting you got a vote you know I know all that stuff

But just sometimes it feels like

being stuck you know between these two options boxed in like between the devil and

the deep blue sea or or between a rock and a hard place.

Or it's like, you know, it's like if you were traveling on the ocean and you came to this narrow pass,

and on one side there was an enormous whirlpool that just sucked everything down

underneath it and then on the other side there was this hideous beast creature with

ravenous heads that just craved to devour human flesh.

Yeah, it's kind of like that, you know, like if only there were some sort of easy phrase I could use to describe that sort of situation, you know, some quick

and easy way I could talk about that.

Eh, maybe it'll come to me. It's still in karibdis that's the praise.

That's the O.G.

Go-2 descriptor for choosing between two bad options.

It's an episode on Odysseus journey that has become so famous that it's its own catchphrase,

its own buzzword and bumper sticker.

When you say I'm choosing stuck between Scylla and Coribdis,

you mean you only have bad options.

There are no good choices in front of you,

so you just have to pick the least bad possibility

and that's what Odysseus has to face here on what is effectively the last

leg of his journey. We're up to book 12 now and Odysseus has been telling his story to the Mary Band of Utopians in the island of Scarria.
