Hey, everybody. This is going to be a free preview show of the Weekender episode of the

McCrard podcast. Nick was lucky enough to sit down with Michaela Kavanaugh, a state senator in

Nebraska who is currently filibustering to stop anti-trans legislation. We thought that this interview

warranted a full release of the episode because we think that

what Michaela is doing is incredibly important.

Plus, also, we want to give you an idea of what it's like to go ahead and get that

extra episode every Friday.

So if you enjoy this and you should enjoy it, go over to patreon.com slash McCrack podcast.

Nick, I think you agree. It's a, it's a good move.

It's the right move. Oh, we do a lot of you guys are listening to the little, the Friday teaser version of it.

And I'm sure you love the whole thing if you join the Patreon. So head over there.

Join us. Join us, Patreon.com slash muckrake podcast. All right. And now to the weekender.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the weekender edition of the muckrake podcast. I'm here,

as always with my co-host, Nick Houseman. Nick, how we doing? Is it warmer in California?

Have we gotten to a point where we can actually live in the golden state?

Yeah.

Okay.

I mean, the sun is out, at least.

It's not raining, which is really, really important. And, I mean, we had a flash flood warnings. It was crazy, but it's not raining. Sun's out. It's getting closer to 60 degrees, but not quite getting there yet. So, you know, it's not not, in the 60s, I'd be a little bit happier, but I'll take it.

And I believe me, I fully deserve whatever ill will I'm getting right now from the rest of the

country. I think I speak on behalf of the entire McCrachia universe when I say that we're waiting

with baited breath for you to crest over the 60 degree margin. We're not going to rest until you can go outside in shorts.
