Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I'm your host, Mary Catherine Hamm.

I am here today with a special guest, my bestie and a Colorado political operative.

Quite successful this year, actually.

We're going to talk about a lot of stuff.

This is Kelly Maher.

Welcome, Kelly.

Hello, Mary Catherine.

Thank you so much for having me.

I really appreciate you.

There's very, very much things on the menu today.

We have the Madison Square Garden rally. We have a Brunei Brown podcast with Kamala.

We have the Rogan podcast with Trump. We have non-endorsements by several newspapers and the freak out after that. We have

some ballot initiatives that I'm going to try to sift through and tell you guys about a couple of

them, including one that Kelly's working on. But I guess before we get to all that, like,

how's life, Kelly? How's that last week before the election treating you with your kids and your appointments and your everything to do?

You know, it's so funny because I think you and I have similar personality types, which is one of the reasons that we are besties, right?

And one of the things that I love about politics is that it takes everything about my procrastinator self. And it like forces it by creating essentially like a false deadline every two years. And so it is it's like 2 a.m. the night before your, like, final paper is due in order to be able to graduate college. And that is this week every two years. And that's how it feels. That's what we're doing. I have to say because I'm not working on a campaign, I have non-campaign privilege, which

means I can actually take a second with my family, which is something good for your mental

health right before an election.

Although, by the way, because I lean right, I don't think my election mental health,

or I don't think my mental health is as affected by elections.
