| 0:00.0 | Hey, pull up a chair. It's ax on tap with David Axelrot, Robert Gibbs, and Mike Murphy. |

| 0:29.0 | Like whether it's better to be a vampire or a werewolf. |
| 0:36.0 | This isn't a debate that I must confess I once had myself when I was seven. |
| 0:51.0 | Well, there he is, the former president of the United States doing a tight five minutes in Atlanta on the one and only |
| 0:59.5 | Herschel Walker. By the way, Mr. President, not a tough call. Vampires by a mile just a person of grooming aspect alone. |
| 1:06.0 | It's pretty obvious. So here we are, Georgia election day. |
| 1:12.0 | Hacker Rooz get excited. We have that to talk about and high politics and high jinx at the DNC on the presidential calendar. |
| 1:19.0 | This is a big deal. We're talking about all of it. And we needed a guest who can handle the whole waterfront David. So who did we get? |
