America is deeply divided.

There are only two sides to every issue, and there is no interest in finding common ground,

not even with members of your own family.

But as the 2024 presidential election looms on the horizon,

there has never been a more important time to have the necessary conversation.

Welcome to the show today. As you can tell, I'm not Chad, slick clues. I am the matriarch

of this family. Just call me PM, the patriotot, Mimi, the mom.

Chad has repeatedly told Bob and I at any time that we wanted to try to produce a show,

go for it.

Now, I must admit, producing a podcast is not easy.

I started, I got my four topics. Chad and I talked a little agreed,

yes, yes, but it takes a lot of time. So I was about two topics in, and I asked Chad, can we do this? Can we co-produce today?

Because of my time restraints, I had very important little humans with me this last week.

I was running out of time.

And, you know, you have to find good topics.

You have to research.

I did all that.

But like I said, as I got deeper into preparing,

and Chad is a perfectionist. So I couldn't have it just on a word doc. Word doc. You were handwriting this shit and sending me pictures via text.

And I still have done that and I have cut and pasted. So there are some things in here you have not seen.

But that's okay.

Okay.
