Hello and welcome to serious inquiries only. This is episode 505, I think. I'm Thomas. That over there's Lydia, how are you doing?

Hi, sneaking in. I'm not always here. Thanks for letting me join. That's true. Well, I just forgot, actually. That's why I was like, are you wanting me to be on this episode? And you're like, yeah, duh. And I was like, not duh. I'm not always here. Oh, I'll just come here and talk to myself like I would ever do that. Yeah, I'm here.

I'm good.

How are you?

Good.

Thanks for asking.

Wow, that's actually why I had you here. I just needed somebody to ask how I was doing. Yeah, exactly. Otherwise, you're asking yourself. It gets really awkward. Yeah. If someone care. Another reason that you're on is this is sort of a tweener. It's like a could, I mean, could be OA.

We've touched on it a little bit, but we just have too much to do on OA all the time. Could be where there's woke, but kind of same story like we have too much to do over there. And we're catching up and putting out a lot, by the way. Check out where there's woke. We just put out a really good one on the Trump administration being weird about milk. Yeah. And it's very funny and they're very weird.

So it was We just put out a really good one on the Trump administration being weird about milk.

Yeah.

And it's very funny and they're very weird. So it was kind of a tweener. And then I also just, I really want to talk about it. Like not enough people have talked about the fucking ice whistleblower here. Oh, yeah. I know nothing about it. There's too much now. Oh, you don't? Okay. I was going to ask because, like, I know, I know some people have.

I'm sure there's plenty of people listening.

I'm sure you know about it.

I'm sure people have.

I'm sure there's plenty of people listening.

I'm sure you know about it.

I'm sure people have heard about it.

But, like, I just haven't seen any talk about it. Maybe I'm just missing it. But either way, I just, I want to do a signal boost. I want to talk about what happened. Yeah, totally. But I also wanted to compare it, and this is maybe a little bit of where there's woke, but again, it's kind of all the shows combined in the one universe.

Because I also wanted to compare it, and this is maybe a little bit of where there's woke, but again, it's kind of all the shows combined in the one universe. Because I also wanted to compare and contrast to Republican hearings, because, like, Democrats have a hearing. I'm not a parliamentarian. I'm not sure how it works. Somehow Democrats had a hearing on their own, and it's, like, smaller or something, or they're able to do that. There was a word for it they used. I think it was called like a shadow hearing or something. I don't know.

They're able to do that. There was a word for it they used. I think it was called like a shadow hearing or something. I don't know. They're able to do it somehow. When Republicans do it, it's a big to do because they control, you know, they got elected. We, America failed. We got, we elected more of them. So they get to have the full thing and all the rigmarole. And I just want to compare like what goes on when these two different parties are doing something, like are running the show and are trying to call

attention to something because I think the difference.

Serious versus unserious. You'll never guess which is which. That's what we're going to talk
