Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Markreik podcast. I'm Jerry

J.J. It's Sexton. I'm here with Nick Housman, who is on a super secret confidential

mission right now. He can't, don't ask him about it, people. Don't ask him about it. All I want to say

is it's very exciting. We're very excited for our good friend Nick Hausman. Well, thank you, Jared. I mean, you know, we can kind of talk about it in the basketball sense. If something's going on that I'm doing, it's been very rewarding and sort of a culmination of everything I've been doing for my, I guess, my own life in terms of basketball. So, you know, we'll hear about it at some point soon, but it's been really exciting. You can't say it. So I will say this. On a scale from one to 10,

10 being the most exciting, all I can tell our listeners, this is a 10. This is a big,

I mean, there might be, if it's nine, because there might be one other thing that could be the 10th, 10, you know, but it's up there. We're way up there, though. Yeah, it's way up there. I mean, I walked home from where I was to the hotel,

We're so excited for you, and we're so excited that you get to now hang out and talk about the rightward trajectory and radicalization of the United States of America. That's what we do for a living. And so that's when we have to do the real work. Remindered everybody to go

to patreon.com slash monkreg podcast. If you're listening to a free preview of this show, you want the

whole show. You listen to the preview every week. We see the numbers, Nick. We see them with our eyes.

We can do the map. Come on over to the good side, patreon.com slash McCrigg podcast. Also, because at the end of

these shows, we talk about what we're watching, which is probably the highlight of our weekend or

episodes, I would think, for most of the people. People enjoy the conversations about the type of

art and literature that we are experiencing. So patreon.com slash my correct podcast. Nick,

we have a full show today. We have a lot to get to. We have to start, though. And by the way,

if I ever bring up Bob Woodward on this show and we're not talking about Watergate,

we are talking about Bob Woodward sitting on information that should have been made public previously

because he has a new book coming out. And that's what's happening. Bob Woodward has a new book
