Hello and welcome to the Bullard podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. Just a little note on the scheduling for today. I wanted to do a traditional podcast guest for you all, so you didn't

have live shows back to back. And so I'm excited to have Adam Surr, we're coming up here in a second.

But last night in Nashville, we were having a blast. And my colleague here at the Bullwark,

Lauren Egan, who's doing a newsletter on what is happening with the Democrats. You all should sign up for

at the Borg.com interviewed Justin Jones as part of the show. If you don't know Justin Jones,

he's in the legislature here in Tennessee. He was one of the Tennessee three that the Republicans

tried to boot out. Man, that guy, if you went down a list of issues, me and him are going to have some

disagreements for sure. He is definitely more progressive than I am. But I was just kind of

blown away by his authenticity, his passion, his energy, his charisma, just like I crossed the

board. The dude is the real deal, you know,

and we're looking for people in this moment who can speak to the challenges that we have with

passion. And I thought that he really knocked it out of the park. And so we weren't planning on

doing this, but I want to have his segment, uh, from the

live show last night. We're going to do that as kind of a B block of this show, uh, if you guys

want to stick around for that. Um, but I want to all, like I said, I want to give you a kind of

more traditional podcast experience. Just as a pod consumer myself, sometimes the live show isn't as great in audio because, you know, I'm hamming it up for the room.

And you got to wait for the applause and all that.

And I don't know, some of you guys listen to me when you're going to sleep at night, I've heard.

And so that's not great when you have random people shouting and throwing their bras on stage.

So it was a great night in Nashville.

I was happy to see everybody.

For those that want to stick around,
