Hi, how are you? I'm good. Good. I'm glad to have you here. It's been a really big week. I'm exhausted. I feel like I've run a marathon. I am too. Like I was like, after yesterday's show, I was like, it's Friday, right? We're done? No, it's just the midweek. It's just the midweek. But it's hard to imagine a stronger start to the week. So yesterday we had on the vice president of the United States, J.D. Vance. It got a lot of attention, a lot of articles written, a lot of comments on social media. What did you make of what he had to say? So I read the book and he showed up the way I thought he would. I mean, I don't know how to answer it any better. He's a good politician. Yes. He came in, you know, with an agenda, but... Yeah, and prepared,

1:19.5

and he's, he's, for anyone who has thoughts about him, he's very kind in person. He carries himself a certain way. But I'm respectful.

1:30.2

All those things. I don't know how much I learned in that interview or had even clarification

1:39.0

in that interview. I kind of think the answers made sense for who he is. The explanations didn't live up to

1:53.1

Yeah. Well, so it's interesting because I saw a lot of people online wondering how we put these

1:58.0

segments together and how we decide who asks what and who works on it. And I saw some from people that are not fans of the show saying they're just reading what the producers gave them and yada, yada, yada. But you spent quite a bit of time. And we worked very, our producer Carly did a fantastic job with this segment, these segments. But you work with producers on what's important to you to talk about and really

2:18.4

craft your questions with them. And in particular, you had one question that I think was

2:22.7

very much from your heart and impactful and designed by you. Well, I think the background on

2:30.3

that is I'm not a political pundit. I don't come from a political world. I'm not the I'm kind of a

2:38.1

little nerdy on what I seek out to read about or care about. So it's not necessarily the best

2:43.0

stuff to produce on TV and all the things. I say that because I always ask myself before an interview,

2:48.5

if I had one question with this person, what do I want to know?

2:51.6

And you've heard my stories about asking Hillary Clinton things in the commercials.
