So it begins. The latest episode of election profit makers recording this on Tuesday,

the 22nd of June 2021, the day for in-person voting in the New York City Democratic primary

for mayor. Who will win? Who will lose? We won't know for weeks. It's also a big day on Capitol

Hill as Schumer plans to bring S-1 the Four the People Act to the floor of the Senate

to be filibustered by the Republicans. But of course, I'm getting ahead of myself. Who am I, you

ask? I'm David, one of the hosts of this podcast. I'm joined by John in North Carolina. Hello, John.

Hey. And way over across the country in New York City, the Big Apple, we have Starley, fresh off her road trip.

Hello, Starley.

Hi.

I was hoping that Starly would take two weeks or longer to drive from Los Angeles to New York

because I had bet, John, $10 that would happen.

Instead, Starley made the passage in record time getting there in well under two weeks.

John, I owe you $10.

Yes, you do. Thank you. And thank you, Starley, for having a lead foot.

Yeah, Starley's my problematic fave now for driving so quickly across the country.

It was fine. I mean, I would have taken, how long did I take?

I left on a Saturday, I think.

I left on a Saturday and I got in on a Monday.

Goddam's fast.

That's just over a week.

Yeah, I also spent three days in Colorado.
