that one's for David Lynch and Bob Euker. Cheers, fellas. Thanks for all the good laughs and joy. I'm Jared Yates Sexton. This is the Weekender edition of the McCrack podcast. I'm here with Nick Houseman. How you doing, bud? I'm doing fine. Everything is good. It's a nice day out and nothing to complain about. All right. That's good to hear, especially with everything that's been going on in Los Angeles.

We have a jam pack show, everybody, just an absolute wall to wall at this point.

We have so much to cover.

A reminder, go to patreon.com slash McCrigg podcast.

Listen to the entire weekender.

But also, on Monday, January 20th,

which is the day of the inauguration, Nick and I are going to be doing a live taping of our

Tuesday episode covering the inauguration, talking about what to expect, all that good stuff.

We'll be doing that at 8 p.m. Eastern for patrons. So patreon.com slash

my Craig podcast. Well, Nick, we're in the last few days before Donald Trump becomes

president of the United States of America. And Joe Biden, for those who haven't listened yet,

Tuesday's episode was our big, giant mega evaluation of Biden's presidency and what his legacy will be and

what is happening afterwards. He's been on a little bit of a flurry in the past couple of days,

Nick, and we have to talk about what's been happening. Yeah. You know, I don't know if

it's the right term to describe these days as simply a few days before Trump assumes office.

I feel like we need to commemorate this in a way that reminds us all of what we're in store for.

The last few days of democracy, I don't know, the pre- oligarchy days.

I don't know. What do you think?

I mean, listen, I would say it's the last couple of days before literally all hell breaks loose.

It doesn't mean that hell hasn't been going on, but it is about to take off in a way that I don't think a lot of people are prepared for.

But in Joe Biden's last couple of days as president, Nick, it has been announced that he has gotten a ceasefire deal done in the Middle East.

This supposedly is going to lead to a cessation of Israeli bombings within Gaza, a release of the remaining hostages and the bodies of the departed hostages.
