Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Muckrake podcast. A thank you to everybody who is not only a patron, but also we've got a live show taping today, which means that all of our supporters are here hanging out, being good to one another, talking about hair care tips,

because my co-host Nick Houseman, unfortunately, is out of condition.
