Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Muckrick podcast. I'm Jared Yates Sexton. Nick Houseman, my good, bud. How are you doing?

I'm good. I'm good. How are you? I'm doing okay. The summer heat has, it's left me alone for a couple of days.

It was 100 plus degrees. It was unsuitable for living.

And now it's down in the 80s.

There's a nice little cool breeze.

I see the end of summer coming.

I'm very excited.

Everybody knows that the fall atonial time is Jared Yates-Saxdon time.

I'm ready to go.

Wow.

Okay.

Yeah.

Who knew that the beginning of the fall programming on TV and Jerry did Sexton's programming as well in sync?

Just imagine me putting on a flannel, getting cozy and enjoying myself. But yeah, so there's that. Everybody, real fast, before we get going, we have an absolutely full show here. We got to talk about the fallout from the debates and all of the media silliness. We got to talk about potential impeachments. We got to talk about, God, a mass shooting. You have to even say which mass shooting you're talking about at this point. We got to talk about one of the dumbest op-eds that I've read in a very long time,

and that is really saying something.

But a reminder to everyone, if you want to support this show, if you want to keep this show growing

and on the right track, we need you to go to patreon.com slash Mike Craig podcast.

Again, that also gives you access to our weekly weekender show on Friday morning,

in which, Nick, what do we do? What do we do on the weekender?

We do a lot of things.

That's a terrible answer.

Well, we answer questions directly from the audience.
