Howdy, skewers. I'm trying to do my best tray. I'm not going to do the voice this time, but Tray always says howdy. So I thought we should start the show with a howdy.

Trey's on the road tonight. So I'm joined by our Georgia correspondent, Corey Round Forrester. What. What's going on, Cork? Hey, Mark, how are you? That was a wonderful Trey. It did sound dumb indeed. Does he do howdy? He does. He does. He starts to show with howdy. I don't actually pay attention to, like, what stuff he says at the beginning of the show, so I'm probably going to fuck it up all the different plugs and whatnot.

With Trey you know that if he starts talking you've got at least three and a half to four

minutes that you can you know finish a group chat check your fantasy football lineup do

whatever you got to do and then come back in and just go yes Trey you're right you're

brilliant you're

the voice of a generation and he'll be like he did hear me that's awesome yeah so we got a

we got a really fun show uh tray tray is good at talking he likes doing it uh tonight we're talking about

we got a good show we're talking about efficient specifically how ranked choice voting has

made politics in alaska kind of more sane while it's driven Republicans insane because it made salmon fishing the most salient issue in congressional election.

And it's because fishing hits for people in Alaska.

We're also talking about how Dr. Oz continues to fuck up and fuck around and how Brett Farve is caught up in one of the dumbest political scandals

I've ever heard of and it's going to be a lot of fun to talk about. Before we get to show... It's going to break my heart. It's going to break my heart. I know it's one of your favorites. Also, the million-dollar man, Ted DiBiasey's got up in this. Well, I have a story about him, actually. I can't wait to share it. okay we'll. We'll do that. We'll wait to get there then.

Before we get to the show, a brief update of recurring character, one of Trace's favorites, because he's a proof of nominative determinism. Cooey Griffin, our favorite coup doer, who's a guy, got himself... Wait, wait, wait, what? His name is Cooey Griffin? Yeah, he's a head of Cowboys for Trump in New Mexico.

He's also... Wait, wait, what? His name is Pooey Griffin? Yeah, he's a head of Cowboys for Trump in New Mexico.

He's also a county commissioner in Otero County.

We talked about him recently because he refused to certify the results of a Democrat,

of a primary election because they used.

And he just got removed from off the day by judge who uh basically said

he officially ruled the january sex was an inter uh insurrection which no one has done legally before

and because the clause in the 13th amendment i believe uh section 3 or 14th amendment sorry says if

you try to go within the government you can't
