And we're back. Election Profit Makers, your guide to winning and losing money on political outcomes and current events. My name is David. I'm joined on the line by my co-host whose name happens to be John. That's J-O-N. Hey. How are you? How are you? I'm okay. You ready for another great episode of one of the hottest podcasts to ever exist in anyone's speakers or earbuds? Yes.

Yes.

What are you looking at right now?

I'm ready if you are.

You're so distracted.

What are you looking at?

I'm trying to pull up the dock.

Dirty pictures on the internet.

No.

I just want to thank everybody really briefly.

I'm not going to apologize.

We took two weeks off because my mother died.

Just wanted to thank all the listeners who sent their condolences via DM and email and EPM Discord. Thank you very much. My mom had a stroke and entered hospice and my brother and I flew in

and we were with her for a few days and we were with her when she died. And it was an absolutely awe-inspiring and beautiful experience.

And the hospice nurses were absolutely wonderful and they were so patient and tender with mom and with us.

And they did a great job explaining what to look for in terms of what

mom's body was doing and what it meant in terms of it reaching the end of its course. And

then there was a moment when my brother and I realized like, oh, she's dying. Like, this is it.

And we just sat with her and watched her life end. And it was incredible, just incredible. And John was

incredible too. John was a great friend throughout the whole process as always. And John, you know,

my mom loved you so much. So thank you. I loved her too. She was very sweet. Yeah, she was sweet.

She was very sweet. And I've got a little plant here on, actually on your dad's desk.
