This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsy Politics.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Pantsy Politics. We are here on the other side of Election Day 2022

and we've come together to process all the results. So, our Congress, state leadership, ballot initiatives and of course, Donald Trump.

Outside of politics, we are going to mark diabetes awareness month by giving an update on my youngest son Felix's journey with Type 1 diabetes.

Before we begin, Maggie has put together a little present for us and for all of you.

Because so frequently, we will mention something in passing on the show and later receive DMs, emails saying, what was it? What was the thing?

And is there a link and is there a discount code? And Maggie did the painstaking work all year of collecting the things that we were mentioning in passing

so that we could share our favorite things with you for holiday shopping season.

So, it's all just in one nice neat place. You can learn about the way to give the gift of Pantsy Politics to people in your life

and to buy those pants that I said were so comfortable and that's a skincare product that Sarah recommended. It's all in one place.

Thank you, Maggie. And we will put a link in the show notes so that you can access all that information.

Next up, we're going to talk about Election Day.

We did it. We made it through Election Day. We don't have all our results in, but we made it through Election Day.

We made it through so much more calmly and smoothly than I had prepared myself where my heart was ready

for just about anything. And I am so pleased that I was wrong.

So, you know, I live in the gut triad. That's my anyogram center. And I just felt joy. I felt joy in my polling place.

I could tell it was the only one. I was feeling very chatty and happy and everybody else was, oh, dance, little stressed.

But I was so thrilled to see lines at like 9.30. I was there at not a high traffic time.

And still there were lines. Everything went smoothly. This seems to be the reports from across the country.

Lots and lots of voters. Very little issues.

I don't quite know how much I'm reading into this. What I want to see. I see a lot of that happening around me.
