Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McCray podcast. I'm Jared Yates Sexton. I'm here with Nick

Alspan. Your voice, would you say 81%? Well, not the voice. I think the overall feeling

and how I'm doing is probably like 80, 81%. But yes, the voice I think is 100. Hey, you know what,

though, Nick, your 80, 81% is better than most people's 100%. Okay. We'll find out. Well, and thank God you feel better because, you know, I don't know how you felt about it. It was like when we did the Weekender last week, it was like jam packed. There was so much to talk about on the weekend. I was like, man, I wonder what's going to happen when we do the Tuesday episode. And we got a humdinger of an episode here. It's completely full. Well, you know, what's fascinating is that I think we're all sort of like Wolverine or Deadpool, right? A little slower on the timeline, but we naturally heal. Things will heal. We just can't look at it within 10 seconds and it just your arm just

regrows. But still, it's like, you're talking about you. You're not talking about democracy, correct?

Oh, if only, if only democracy had. If only democracy healed itself. And unfortunately it does not.

Before we get in these headlines, everybody, a couple table setting things.

One, we will be doing a live taping of the Weekender episode Thursday night, March 7th, following the State of the Union by President Joe Biden.

The State of the Union starts at 9 p.m. Eastern.

He goes for about an hour, give or take.

We're going to preview that speech in a little bit.

So as soon as that's over, we'll be doing a live reaction and analysis show of the state of the union and that will be the weekender. All you got to do, go over to patreon.com slash my Greg podcast. Get on there. Talk to us, listen to us, ask questions. That'll be part of the show. It's a good time. Also, a reminder, it's March,

Nick, and we're taping this on the 4th of March. That means in 18 days on Friday, March 22nd. You and I are going to be in Henderson, Nevada, outside of Las Vegas for Pete Dominic's stand-up pod jam.

I'm going to be doing a bourbon talk that Friday,

March 22nd. We're going to be doing a live show Saturday, March 23rd. We're almost there.

We're getting there. It's frightening. What is time? What is time, man, February went so fast.

Go into the show notes in order to get information on going.

We've already heard from people who are going.

We're very excited, very, very excited to hang out with each other, to hang out with you.

Meanwhile, Nick, the Supreme Court of the United States of America, the highest court in the land, man, they do not get tired of making headlines.
