A quick editor's note:
My children were quite loud at times in the background of the episode. I edited out as much of it as I could.
Also, this conversation was recorded a few months back, but I felt like most of it still holds up. However, there have been a few developments between then and now. The candidates who were facing Donald Trump and Joe Biden have since ended their campaigns. Joe Lieberman died. Joe Manchin declared he would not run for president in 2024. No Labels ended their presidential bid for 2024. Post News has shut down. Jonathan and I are both on Bluesky now. However, I am still not on Threads.
