Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Muckraig podcast.

I'm Jared Yates Sexton.

Nick Hauselman, still out in the world.

Do wing Nick Hauselman things.

But do not worry.

I'm here holding down the fort for this patron exclusive episode, a reminder, if you

don't listen to this whole episode.

And let me tell you what, we got everything today.

We got potential coups.

We've got the decline of one of the world's most celebrated nations.

We've got robots.

We've got crystal flutes.

All right.

Don't sit there and tell me that this show can't do a lot of different things.

All you got to do to listening to the entire show, go over to patreon.com slash McCrack podcast.

That being said, I hope everybody out there is doing well.

There's been a lot of good feedback and excitement from my conversation with Sarah Kinseyer on the regular episode on Tuesday.

If you haven't listened to that, maybe pause this, maybe contain your excitement about robots and crystal flutes and go listen to that conversation with Kinsier from Tuesday's episode.

In the meantime, I hope everybody's having a decent start to the autumn season, or as I like

to call it, time to put my little short-haired dog in pajamas and love her and laugh at her

ridiculousness season.
