Hey, welcome to the Happy Ramp Podcast. I am Ted Clug joined as always in studio by

Barnabas Piper and Ronald J Martin and boys we have we have on tap an episode that

we're calling what are we calling it the word debacle was involved we're talking

about politics we're talking about politics.

Yeah, election debacle, the Trump debacle, but that doesn't seem fair because I think Hillary is probably a debacle as well.

So yeah, just election debacle 2016.

Election debacle 2016 keeping in mind that I don't care

Rattle. It's football season I got a lot of irons in the fire man. I just don't care at the time I don't I don't believe in politics. I have no hope

Yeah, and at the time we're recording this the Vikings are five and oh which means that I'm equal parts like impressed and excited and

preparing myself for an epic collapse so that's taking up far more energy than

you're dealing with that kind of self-loathing thing that fans in sort of perpetually

losing environments get where they don't even know what to do with a good thing that's

dropped in their lap you know what I mean here's the thing like

it's fascinating first you don't know what to do with and then after a few years you

know exactly what to do with and it's you don't trust it because you do you

have so many layers of self-protection built up.

Here's what I don't want to happen, PIP.

I don't want you to miss the enjoyment of the season

because you're so busy protecting your own heart,

you know what I mean?

Okay, so here's a question.

Yes, I'm guarding my heart from the Vikings.
