I mean one of the things I worried about the false claim that was going on for example

that had people believing that if you got $750 in immediate help that you were never going to get

anything else you know what if somebody hears that believe it, and then they don't apply for

more aid that they could absolutely qualify for.

So you know, there are real costs and real consequences to that misinformation.

Hi, I'm Honor Marie Cox. This is 90 days with Honor Mary Cox. It is an election

countdown podcast and there are 20 days until the

until the presidential election.

Now, things likely won't be over then,

and the news I have to share with the audience

is that this podcast will continue after the election

we'll be doing a negative countdown after day zero.

I love that and flip it.

I love it as an idea. Not sure I love it as a democracy thing.

Election day seems like a good day for the election to be over.

It's not the world we live in anymore. In any case. Right. The voice you're hearing is

Josh Gondelman. He is a writer and comedian and a friend of the pod and we booked him today because we thought it'd be good to have a comedian on.

I think because things feel bad.

Now, to be clear, Josh, I do not expect you to cheer us up.

That is not real.

I'm glad to hear that. Yeah I actually because I feel like

comedians are really good at just understanding both sides of emotions, right?
