Unprecedented times. You know, I've seen, we've all said it, but I,

precedented times are nice. I would think to go back to some

unprecedented times. Everyone, we are recording this on Sunday, like what, an hour and a half after President Biden

decided he wasn't going to run for office again.

So it's going to be right, I guess.

I don't think a lot about how our podcast is going to be inadvertently a little bit of a time

capsule for our times but also for my life. And I just don't know. You know what here's what I will say because I who

knows how anything's going to work out but I do feel energized. Me too. And I feel hopeful in a way that I have not. Like I was going to just close

my eyes and vote right? Like okay I don't want to live under fascism, but now... Right, blew down the line. Yeah, so... Yeah, that's exciting. Here's where I'm at. I felt a tremendous amount of relief when it happened because it feels like this is the way the party moves forward and this is going to

galvanize so many people to get interested this year.

And my big, I've been saying from the beginning,

the goal here was not winning minds and hearts.

Like, people were gonna vote for who they were going to vote for.

The goal was getting people to the polls, getting people excited

about walking into their polling precincts and pulling the lever and this is exciting like I'm going to watch

I'm a nerd and I was not going to watch the convention and I was not going to watch the

convention and no listen can I tell did you know that I I worked at the DNC during the

Kerry Bush election in 2024 it's still like my, it's my 2004. I'm sorry, 2004, we're doing it again.

No, in 2004 I worked at the Kerry Bush, the Cary, well, I worked the Cary DNC in Boston.

And when I tell you, delegates, like no one loves the party.

Oh yeah, I'm sure.

I mean, we saw this a little bit this last week with like the people wearing the bandages over their ears at the R and C. Like with love to
