Welcome to The Lost Debata Show for Politically Ecclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. And in this wide-ranging

0:07.3

conversation, I talked to my friend Bridget Fettysi, who hosts a number of shows, including

0:11.7

Dumster Fire and Walkins Welkin. She's a former comedian, used to write for Playboy still comedian,

0:16.5

actually. And she's, you know, all this kind of like eclectic, comedian, libertarian,

0:22.7

Rogan-adjacent audience. And she voted for Trump and was very public about it and named

0:28.9

her reasons. And I wanted to model the kind of attitude I've been talking about here on this

0:33.5

podcast of handling things a certain way after this election. And so I wanted to welcome

0:38.2

her on to this podcast to have a conversation about why she voted for Trump, why I didn't vote for

talk about like larger perspectives on the parties, the nature of things, et cetera. So I think

1:22.8

you'll enjoy this one. Take a listen. And we've gotten a ton of your voicemails. Keep sending those

1:27.3

in. I promise I will address those voicemails. Keep sending those in. I promise

1:27.9

I will address those voicemails in one of the next episodes. There's some really wonderful

1:32.6

things out there and some thoughtful stuff. So let's jump in.

1:41.5
