Hey everybody, welcome to the Muck Break podcast. I'm Jared Yates-Saxson. Listen, Nick

Alsman is back. Nick, buddy, how are we doing?

We're doing, I'm doing okay. So it was a rough week, but I'm back and I'm looking forward

to talking with you. You were missed so bad and and I think I speak for everybody when I say, welcome back.

I am so glad that we get to talk about just absolutely atrocious shit together again.

That's, you know, it's brainstamped that way, right?

That's what you and I were talking about atrocious shit.

That's how I think about you.

One of the great things about our friendship is it is based on talking about awful shit.

And before we get into it, and man, do we have a lot to get into today?

Just a reminder, November 8th, next Tuesday, election night, midterm elections.

We are going to be partnering up again with democracy.

Of course, that is Daniel Moody, that is Wajahad Ali.

We're going to be going live at 8 p.m. Eastern. Details will follow.

We're going to be reacting to the results as they come in, talking about things where we find it.

This is coverage. You're not going to see anywhere else nick are you i want to say excited is but but excited doesn't

feel like it covers it are you are you looking forward to doing this oh i'm looking forward to

doing it uh there it is i don't know if i'm looking forward to doing it. There it is. I don't know if I'm looking forward to it itself.

And I feel like the hucksters have been out in full force on the either side.

And I don't know what to believe anymore or what to hope for.

You know, and I hate to say, I'm just going to assume the worst so I could be pleasantly a surprise because it just makes me feel awful for the rest of the week.

Well, there you go. So for those of you who haven't caught our election coverage in the past, regardless if things go well, they go rough if it's stressful. Of course it's going to be stressful.
