Nick.

Yeah.

I think that I have done a pretty good job of not referencing the West Wing on this show.

I think I've shown a lot of restraint.

I think that's fair.

For someone who works on a show that's largely about government and still cries about a

quarter of the time when I watch the West Wing.

I will admit I occasionally bring up the Bartlett for America and Napkin, but that's

it, right?

Do you bring that up, but in your defense, it's a pretty cinematic moment.

It is.

But today, I'm doing it.

I'm breaking.

I'm going to reference the West Wing quite a bit.

Also by the way, for anyone who has never heard of or never seen the West Wing, it is a

TV show from the 90s and the early odds about a fictional president, Jeb Bartlett and his

administration.

And it has been roundly praised for being relatively true to the actual goings-on of the

West Wing, if pretty idealistic and sentimental, which is why I cry all the time.

And the government of Myanmar reportedly used the West Wing to study how democracy works.

Although I do know that Gerald Ford's daughter couldn't watch it, apparently, because they

got the layout wrong.
