Hey, everybody.

Let's open a beer.

It has been a long week.

I'm Jerry 8. Sexton.

Ah, it is March 11th, a Friday.

It's time for The Weekender.

And I'm here with my friend, my co-host, my partner, Nick Hausman.

Nick, how's this week treated you?

It was my anniversary yesterday. Congrats.

Thank you. That's wonderful. So you had a little slice of heaven while the rest of us had a slice

of hell. Oh, you know, let me put it this way. My daughter, who's a senior in high school,

made us a four-course dinner consisting of some incredible salad, incredible soup, and beef Wellington.

Wow, that's an impressive, uh, impressive try there.

Do you even know what, have you ever had Beef Wellington?

I mean, we're talking about Madman era.

And it was, she should be a chef in a, in a restaurant telling you, she from scratch

put the dough around the meat and cooked it all together. I mean, it was, I had some leftovers today. I had, that was the best meal I've had in a long time. Incredible. Well, I'm glad you had a good week because America and liberal democracy had a terrible week. You know, this is how we get through this is we have to find the little things to celebrate. I walked in the store and got a Coke. The sun was out, and I kind of walked around the corner and drank a Coke on the way back. And it was, for a minute there, all was good. It felt normal for a minute. Well, that's nice. Well, let's talk about how the world is collapsing

around us. Don't worry, all, we have to get to the worsening tragedy in Ukraine, but we're

going to start today for the weekender talking about the good old United States of America,

where good old governor of Florida Ron DeSantis is Nick he's having himself

a time he really really is I think he's enjoying it I think he is too I think he is a real sicko

and so we have a lot that's going down in Florida where DeSantis is
