Hey, it's Josh. And you people are all very, very smart. So I assume you've noticed that this is actually the second episode of the West Wing thing you're getting this week. That is correct. It's a two for a week. A couple reasons. One, we wanted to get our Roe episode out before it was outdated by the destruction of the EPA that is fast approaching.

And two, we want to give you a little treat before we take. Yep, another short break.

We'll give you more details at the end of the show. But this time it's Dave. Dave's going on vacation.

Lazy fucker. So this will be your last for another couple of weeks, but we will be back.

And then, by God, we are going to finish this terrible, terrible long slog that we

have been on that you have come along with us.

So in the meantime, enjoy, take a little break from the horrors of the world, maybe go

watch a good TV show.

Or here's a thing, if you're one of those listeners who doesn't watch the West Wing and just

listens to us, take the time and watch all the episodes you've missed.

I'm kidding.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Anyway, here's the West Wing thing.

I am personally overwhelmed by this decision.

From time to time, I quote this overwhelmed by this decision.

From time to time, I quote this poem by Ehud Manor.

He's an Israeli poet.

I met his wife when I've been in Israel.

He says, I have no other country, even though my land is burning.

Only a word in Hebrew penetrates my veins, my soul, with an aching body, and with a hungry heart. Calling our wank, Lord, we got a job to do.

We got seven seasons away

And they're coming for you
