I refuse to go and vote, mostly on principle, the principle that I don’t get anything out of voting, and I don’t even live in the US, and I’m not a US citizen

Great episode and palate cleanser after the tsunami of news, events, and podcasts leading up to the Electoral Super Bowl.

As a mom of a church going former Chick-fil-A worker, they can still drop F-bombs like nobody else. She also can’t help saying “my pleasure “ anytime someone thanks her. 😂

oHH MAN so happy to see scott on your pod again. Surprised to hear you say the TMS audience wasnt receptive to your stuff. its how I found you. It saved my political relationship with my father and I share your content with everyone I think might be receptive. More you and scott plz!

It was just how I felt at the time. Probably spent too much time in the live chat. That was a more intense period.

Yeah, chat and larger listening audience are pretty different in some ways.

It certainly was, we were all yelling at each other ESPECIALLY about politics. And it definitely took me a bit to warm up to your spin-less coverage, but I was lucky you crossed my ear-holes when you did.

I really really appreciated this. Thanks Scott and JRY

This necessary non-political episode is very similar to the The Young Turk's Old School podcast/show, where weekly the discussion among the on-air personalities who have been on the main show in the past 10 years talk about peculiar social norms, restaurant etiquette, gambling habits, and other non sequiturs because one can't be always "on" about politics.

This was a bizarre blending of worlds for me. I knew you two were associated, but didn’t realize how close you were and how much you’ve worked together. I listened to The Instance for years, started listening to Px3 earlier this year. Very cool to see pop up in my feed!

JuRY, do you have that paraphrased quote from the beginning of the episode written down that you could copy here? I would love that share that with others.

I think I'm realizing that my gullet is dumpster. I love arbys and the chicken bigmac. You gotta go to the right arbys though.

100% correct on going to the right arbys. The one I went to could not have been more wrong.

Voting in Ohio today I saw Jill Stein withdrew and her votes won't be counted. All I could think was “low moral character”.

Expand full comment

I’m not seeing anywhere that she withdrew? Was she just not on your ballot?

Expand full comment

There was a note at each machine informing voters that her vote would not be counted

Looking into it more, there was an issue with updating the ballot after nominating the VP.

Absolutely enjoyed a chill podcast in my feed today. Listened to it while sitting in the car. Had to drive my sister and her husband to the polls today since their car is in the shop.

I voted by mail since I'm still immunocompromised from my fight with leukemia.

When do we finally get the spin off podcast Governing Governing Governing?

If YOU think, that a casual conversation between JuRY and Scott wasn't the best thing to see in my podcast feed today, well then you can unfriend MEEEEEeeeeeeee.

Seriously though, great episode - I miss the banter you two have with each other.
