I prepared a five-minute monologue about why I like the Oval Office decor.

Uh, no, I'm gonna bring out my boy Van Lathen. What's up? Come on, Vang!

What's up? You all know, Van Lathen? Stand up, give us some love.

See you. How's it going? All right. There's a lot of famous people out here in L.A. A lot of people want to get to a show. You want to invite Doug? You're going to invite Kamala. First call I made was Dan Lathen because you know why? I was like, we're going to do a little Louisiana shit over here. All right? For people that don't know, give them a little update on who the hell you are. I do a podcast. I also have had one too many hinnies and co-cs. Right. So I don't know how unhinged I want to be. But I'm the co-hosts of a high-learned podcast. Ringer Podcast Network. We talk about political stuff and black stuff. Political stuff and black stuff? So you guys look like... So we're going to talk about, you can check out Ohio learning. We're going to talk about political stuff and black stuff. Political stuff and black stuff? So you guys look like...

So we're going to talk about...

You can check out Ohio Learning. We're going to talk about political stuff, black stuff, Louisiana stuff, and a little Elaine Kiffin. And then we're going to bring out the rest of the podcasters. And then... And rewatchable. I appreciate that, my man. Look at that. What's the best and worst political movie to re-watch?

Oh, okay.

So the best and worst political movie to rewatch?

Oh, okay.

So the best political movie is one called The American President.

And it's this huge scandal.

The President starts dating, which seems quaint now, but then it was a huge deal.

He's having dates and all of this stuff.

So that's the best one to rewatch.

The worst one, unfortunately, is one called Distinguished Gentleman with Eddie Murphy,

which was kind of a miss.

You like it. You like it. It's not my company, but the American president is good. Oh, and then Dave. You remember Dave? Dave is sick. Dave. Dave is sick. Yeah. All right. I want to start by getting your take. Sorry, we're going to bring you down for a second. We're going to bring you down and then bring you back up. That's what happens to the live shows. You know, it's an emotional roller coaster, right? You've got to feel all the feelings. There's laughter, there's tears,

there's anger, there's happiness. They got the voting rights act. And it started on my adopted

home state, your native home state of Louisiana. And, you know, the Kaleigh ruling was,

it's just a fucking disaster for the Deep South. And I had Justin Jones on the pod this week.

We talked about what's happening in Tennessee. But I just kind of want your take on the implications

writ large. You know, I feel like a lot of you guys probably feel is you're observing so many body blows right now that everything kind of slides off of you.
