You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and welcome to serious inquiriesiries only. This is episode 196.

Ah, so much to say. So much to tell you folks.

Well, first little housekeeping type stuff, background type stuff. Okay, it's been a little while. I've, I don't know, haven't done an episode. I don't know, I'm not sure what's going on with me, but I saw these debates and I saw an opportunity because I want to talk about them. I'm excited about the debates. I'm excited about the candidates and I wanted to just get it out there, you know, as soon as I could.

I've got pages of notes, four pages of notes, which knowing me will factor in a little bit,

but not as much as they should. The note-taking to talking ratio

usually makes me mad about how much time I took taking notes but that's okay

it's all part of the process and as you can probably hear the setup is a little different.

I it's of course it's late for mental health purposes. I still had to play my scheduled hockey game because, you know, I'm barely

hanging on mentally with this country and everything that's going on.

And getting exercises one of the few ways that I can still try to stay sane.

So I had a hockey game scheduled for seven, the debate was at six, and so I had to watch it on

DVR.

That's not really even a thing anymore. I've got YouTube TV. I watched

it on YouTube TV late and now everybody's in bed. The kids are in bed, the wife's in bed.

I've got a slight buzz going and I'm ready to talk about the debate. It couldn't be

better am I right? I don't know I can't hear you I can only hear myself so let's

let's get into it.

I want to talk about some general things.

First off, this is, I read this somewhere,

and to my mind, I'm almost positive it's true, but I didn't, it's one of those things where I saw like a tweet and then couldn't find it later.

I read that this was the first presidential debate with more than one woman on stage.

And I cannot think of how that would be wrong.
