I'm joined today by Christopher Bedford who's got some cool stuff in the works.

Maybe we can talk about it next week, but for now we have a big show because actually sort of Chris we end up talking a lot about

capital hill drama and I think it's because by the end of the week there's so much capital

hill drama to review and especially the drama between sort of leadership

whether it's leadership on the Senate side or leadership on the House side.

Everyone knows what happened with Kevin McCarthy over the last year. It harkens

to back to what happened to both John Boehner and Paul Ryan and

really all of this is coming to a head as we sit here on Capitol Hill right now

even more so than I would argue it did with Kevin McCarthy

now that Mike Johnson is doing all kinds of tactical parliamentary maneuvers, these sorts of things.

We have a lot to talk about, basically.

So thanks, Chris, for being here,

and I know you're about to roast me.

Well, I know you told me you were about to roast me so. Yeah, before we get down to business we have some business to

attend. Yes. Tell me about that electric bicycle parked at the bottom of the stairs. I think it looks like it comes from

REI. It's from REI, that's right. Well I think a lot of listeners would be

surprised to hear that both Chris and I are somewhat into cycling. It's I'm newer to it than you are
