Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Moncrick podcast. I'm Jared D. Sacks. I'm here with my good friend, my co-conspirator, Nick Houseman. How you doing, bud? I'm doing fine. How are you doing, Jared? I'm hanging in. You know, one of the perks and also, I guess, problems with this job is when weird shit happens. That's kind of, what, what is it, Hunter S. Thompson, you say is like when the turning gets weird, the pros get weird, the weird go pro. I'm absolutely ruining that, but that's where I'm at right now. Wow. Yeah. Well, you know, I used to like weird. Weird was kind of good and kind of a thing to be. And yeah, this is stuff. I think if you study this stuff long enough and what we're talking about, obviously, would be what happened over the weekend. You might have to get to a point where you just accept that things don't make sense and things are weird. Things are, I think that can make sense. And then there are other things that attempt to make things, not make sense. But I think you can at least start to put these things together.

We're going to talk a lot about the process of analysis in this episode and where that comes

from and what you can analyze and what you can't analyze and what eventually it leads to

and the decisions you kind of have to make. But this is one of those episodes where you and I very, very easily could have taped an

emergency episode on Saturday night.

And we did not do that.

And I'm glad that we didn't because the picture has emerged a little bit more.

We're able to talk about the attempted assassination at the White House

Correspondence Dinner. So I'm glad we've had some time. I've got some thoughts, and I

really can't wait to have this discussion. Well, I have a rule. And the rule is, is if we don't do

an emergency pod if at the scene of the event, people are walking away, just taking bottles of wine off of the table as they stroll out the door.

That tends to mean to me that maybe we could hold off and record normally.

I will also say before we get into the full discussion, man, in the modern era where people are supposedly, you know, huddling against like a possible shooter

or assassination where people are just starting to take videos of themselves.

Yeah.

And they're, they're catching things like Donald Trump being thrown to the floor or RFK leaving

Cheryl Hines behind his Secret Service date.

I mean, a wild, wild scene.

We're going to talk about all that and more.

This is, I know I say that we have jam-packed episodes. This is an extremely jam-packed episode.
