Patreon.com slash political beats. My name is Scott Bertram. Find me on Twitter at Scott Bertram by tag team partners. Standing by as always, Jeff Blair. Jeff, how are you?

Not doing very good, Scott. I'm a little bit frustrated. I have to say I'm fed up with the lack of

creative control on this podcast. say I'm fed up with the lack of creative control on this podcast and I'm fed up at the fact that you don't allow me to sing

on the show, especially when I come up with really great ideas of things to sing. So I'm going
