Hey everybody. Welcome to the Muckraig podcast. I'm Jerry J. Sexton. My friend, Nick Houseman, you are back at your home base. You survived a cruise. You survived wildfires. You had a hurricane. In the midst of the hurricane, you had an earthquake. You look seasoned, you look wizened. I'm glad that you're all right. Yes, I believe there's, there's got to be a term for having dealt with all of that in the week. I don't know what it would be the whole enchilada, perhaps. It's the final destination experience is what it is. But I got to tell you, the rains in L.A. were like a normal rainy day, pretty much, and there was no winds. And the earthquake, it was a nice little, you know, cherry on top of the Sunday there. But other than that, it was not a problem. You know, I think the biggest issue I think was in Palm Springs, which looked like, you know, a hellscape. But other than that, hopefully people there are okay. It looked tough. I got to tell you, a hurricane hitting California

and an earthquake hitting at the same time, if this is a simulation, it's getting a little

wonky is all I'll say. Yeah. And if you don't, if you need more proof of climate change,

I don't know what else to offer you. I don't know what else to offer i i don't know

what else to offer everybody else either um listen we got a jam pack show we are going to preview the uh republican
