Hi, it's Saturday. It's the Saturday show. And sometimes I say we bring you one from the

vault and one from the week. Sometimes I bring you an appearance I made elsewhere. Today I'm bringing

you an appearance that I made with Chris Saliza on Substack. We're going to be doing these every few weeks.

In fact, as you'll hear in the beginning of

this, we start talking about what is a good cadence, and I introduced to him the word Antoin TIG. Remember that word? So that's why it's kind of a best from the vault, because we haven't talked about an Antoin Tig in a while, and I don't know if he was, and I don't know if he was delighted or confused. I know if I do my job right in this conversation with Chris, you will be both.

Now, I do have to say this is, I think what Chris likes to do is put him behind the paywall,

and I'm not, I'm not going to get in the way of this man's monetization strategy.

We are both independent producers, and we have to ask, very much thank,

but ask you, our public for our help. And so if I were to give this whole episode for free,

it would undercut him. It would be a workaround. And so I'm going to give you, I don't know,

a good deal of our conversation. I will give you maybe two segments

that will account for more than half, but less than three quarters of our conversation. So you are

robbed of the Super Bowl talk at the end. And if you heard in the beginning me saying a variation

of my prediction of what's going to happen at the polls this week,

then count that as one for the week.

It's kind of nice sometimes I talk into a microphone and get a reaction from you, the listeners,

but it's also kind of nice to lay that out to a person in real life and see what they think.

And so Lizza went along with my prediction of there will be bluster, there will be ice, there will be countervailing forces. I'm not saying don't worry. Everyone, but you and me needs to worry. People need to go on fresh air and MSNBC and get very, very worried. Not because they're wrong, but because their worry will lead to our

deliverance. So thank you, people who are worried. And if that's you, that's you. But don't worry,

me and Crystal is up next. So building a wardrobe takes the right kind of balsa or perhaps oak, but actually I speak

none of the physical construct.

I speak of the concept of a suite of clothes.
