That's right, everybody.

Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Buckingack podcast. I'm Jerry Day of Sexton. How you doing, Nick? I'm good. I'm good. I'm ready for the weekend, I think. I'm ready for the weekend as well. I'm hoping it's going to be nice. It's going to be temperate. It's going to be beautiful outside. but thank you everybody for tuning into this to start your weekend off the right way.

If you're listening to for tuning into this to start your

weekend off the right way. If you're listening to the preview of this, maybe you listen to the

full preview. Maybe you want to, maybe you want to make this part of your week. Maybe two episodes

of the McCrreg podcast makes your life and your week better. Go over to patreon.com slash

Mike Craig podcast. We appreciate your support.

We need it in order to grow and keep on moving. Also, for those patrons, Nick, next week, Wednesday,

November 8th, it's the third Republican primary debate live from Miami, Florida. This one's

going to be a brawl. There's going to be a lot that's really going on here.

That's Wednesday, November 8th. We are going to be live immediately afterward, giving you the

post-debate primary coverage that you have come to depend on for us. I don't want to say I'm

looking forward to it, Nick, but I do enjoy doing the live shows and doing this during the election season.

You know, anytime to hang out with you, Jared, it's worth doing no matter what.

And the community, by the way, as well.

That's really, really the best part about all of that.

And it makes it bearable, I think, to have to go and parse what the

GOP is busy saying out aloud, I suppose is the word. It's, uh, it's going to be a lot. And I agree.

I'm looking forward to doing it and seeing the community. And obviously, these are weird,

hard times. So we're looking forward to that. That is next Wednesday, we will go live immediately

after the third GOP debate.

Before we get to our regularly scheduled programming, Nick, I was hoping you would indulge me on this show and everybody else would for a second. I promise, I'm getting ready to talk about something personal, but I promise it as a political and cultural spin to it.
