0:00.0 | Folks, let's get right to it. |
0:01.4 | The podcast is called Election Profitmakers, and my name is David, and I'm joined by John. |
0:05.6 | Last week, something really extraordinary happened that has a lot of people wondering if I'm some type of wizard or warlock, which is that in last week's episode, John delighted once again in trolling me for my inappropriate reaction as a child to the Challenger explosion, which happened when we were in, what, eighth grade? |
0:23.5 | Yeah, it was 1986. |
0:25.1 | You weren't a child. |

1:44.6 | out of nowhere. Yeah. Oh, that's even better than what I had thought. Oh, and they hadn't started the |
