Summary

I'm not doing a regular show this week. It's the day after the election and I'm not feeling all that great. It seems wrong to do a show. The only thing on my mind is the election. I don't want a guest of mine to appear this week. It's not fair to the guest. I'll be back with a regular episode next week. For now, and maybe against my better judgment, I'm gonna share my thoughts on what just happened to our country and the world. A little while ago I sat down and thought out loud and talked into the microphone. I tried to think as deeply as I could about what just happened and how best to respond. And I'm sharing it with you here. I hope that's okay.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey guys, uh, it's Wednesday, November 9th, 2016. I'm not going to do a regular show this week.

0:06.1

New episodes usually go up on Wednesdays, uh, but today feels a little different.

0:12.1

And it doesn't feel like I should do a regular show. It's the day after the 2016 presidential

0:17.2

election. Uh, I'm not feeling great, to be honest with you.

0:21.9

I don't think a lot of us are feeling all that great right now.

0:24.8

And maybe against my better judgment, I feel like I want to try to say some things about

0:30.0

what's happened, share my thoughts.

0:35.1

And with that in mind, I don't think it's fair to tie what I'm about to say to a regular

0:39.3

episode, meaning I don't think it would be fair to my guest. It would be too weighted.

0:45.3

The mood is too blue. And I thought I would just take this week to do this, and then next

0:51.1

week I'll be back with a regular episode of guest and a conversation.

0:56.2

So I'm just going to talk.

1:02.3

And, you know, before I really get started, I feel like I should issue an advance apology

1:08.3

if what I say sounds like nonsense.

1:10.7

I did not sleep last

1:12.4

night. I don't want to sound melodramatic. I just couldn't sleep. I was anxious and depressed.

1:19.2

That's the truth. I think a lot of us felt that way. It was hard to sleep. I feel sick to my stomach about what's happened.

1:29.8

That's how I feel.

1:30.5

I think it's a very sad moment for me and for many of us who wanted a different outcome

1:37.6

in the election.

1:39.5

And I would add that it's probably a very happy moment for those of you out there who support Donald Trump.

1:47.8
