Speaker 1: Finally she's taking full responsibility. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty.
Speaker 1: Before responsibility or partial responsibility before we get to the
Speaker 1: apology for an American nightmare. We don't usually talk that
Speaker 1: much politics in this One More Thing podcast, but I
Speaker 1: came across these two things about the election. One AOC
Speaker 1: said Trump's Madison Square garden event was a mini January
Speaker 1: sixth rally. Oh jeez, that's right reasonable. And then just
Speaker 1: came across this Harris supporter who said, they've been making
Speaker 1: a list of all the things in my life that
Speaker 1: I won't lose if Trump wins, so that I'll be
Speaker 1: able to calm down should he end up winning the election,
Speaker 1: if I ever get that way about a politician or
Speaker 1: anything practically, anything where I got to write down a
Speaker 1: list of things that are good in my life so
Speaker 1: I can deal with it emotionally.
Speaker 3: Please, I you know, granted, look, I'm a fella, I
Speaker 3: got a beard, I'm a male.
Speaker 1: Oh but do you have a pennis? Were you born
Speaker 1: with a pennice?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Boy, were you born with Because you can have a
Speaker 1: pen You could have had to add a dictomy, but
Speaker 1: you were born with it?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, oge Man.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, anyway, original Genitalia. I remember where being
Speaker 3: panic stricken about everything was not revealed or revered rather
Speaker 3: as like a positive character, right, I go to pieces
Speaker 3: when everything happens was not a brag.
Speaker 1: Right. I was talking to somebody about that the other day.
Speaker 1: When did man or a woman please?
Speaker 3: Some of the toughest humans I've ever known? My wife
Speaker 3: were utterly unflappable American females.
Speaker 1: When did that flip that? It went from being the
Speaker 1: cool people keep it all inside and hide it and
Speaker 1: and soldier on to the cool people exaggerate the smallest
Speaker 1: things in fall to pieces over it that made you
Speaker 1: more cool, Like they're more upset than I am, so
Speaker 1: they get higher rank for some reason.
Speaker 4: Weird Jonathan Hite and Greg Lukianoff.
Speaker 3: I think it could probably nail that down pretty well,
Speaker 3: the coddling of the American mind.
Speaker 1: The Landmark book on the topic. Somewhere in the trophies
Speaker 1: for Everybody phase.
Speaker 3: Something all the one Unholy stew Yes, So this girl
Speaker 3: probably got a singing trophy at some point.
Speaker 1: We talked about this last week. I'm kind of excited
Speaker 1: about hearing the unbleeped version. I've only heard the bleeped version.
Speaker 1: So they had a third party debate on c SPAN
Speaker 1: two for the candidates that aren't Kamala Harrison Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: If you're a third party candidate, they had a debate,
Speaker 1: and you didn't know what happened. In fact, over at
Speaker 1: sea Span, they don't. They apparently didn't think it rose
Speaker 1: to the level of the main seam se Span. They
Speaker 1: put it on se Span two. Even c Span thought
Speaker 1: we're better than this electorally useless. I'm told it was
Speaker 1: actually quite a thought provoking exchange of views, but nobody
Speaker 1: saw it. I'll let tree forest, et cetera. I'll let
Speaker 1: you watch it and then give me tell you all
Speaker 1: about it. Tell me all about it. But for some
Speaker 1: reason at the debate, they felt like they had to
Speaker 1: have somebody sing the national anthem, and I don't know
Speaker 1: this girl is this bad baby.
Speaker 3: Loomis with a dollar sign yes, And her singing didn't
Speaker 3: go well, and she dropped a couple of bombs and
Speaker 3: became a scandal.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 4: Can I go back?
Speaker 5: Can I go back?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 6: Hesting?
Speaker 5: I got too nervous, Oh Luma dollar, So she says, oh,
Speaker 5: f there.
Speaker 1: Somebody goes we're live. We're live sullying the airwaves of
Speaker 1: c SPAN two R two handfuls of people across the country.
Speaker 4: What about the children who were a watch.
Speaker 1: If your kid's watching c SPAN two the Third Party Debate,
Speaker 1: you got one weird kid on your hand.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't scream at it in its stroller.
Speaker 1: But there the highlights of.
Speaker 4: You've seen that video.
Speaker 2: That video is awful.
Speaker 1: Jeez, no kidding. The highlights of the Third Party Debate
Speaker 1: weren't going to be good enough for your kid. They
Speaker 1: needed to see it live if they were watching that anyway.
Speaker 1: So the singer apparently has decided to resurrect the career
Speaker 1: of Loomis. What's the persons Luma dollar, Luma dollar, Loomis
Speaker 1: with a dollar sign for a ness.
Speaker 3: Yes, very quid Loomis is now apologizing.
Speaker 1: I think I guess from.
Speaker 7: The bottom of my heart, I wanted to apologize and
Speaker 7: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to mess up the
Speaker 7: national anthem, and I wanted to thank you guys for
Speaker 7: giving me a chance and believing in me. And I'm
Speaker 7: sorry you guys that I messing up, and please, please
Speaker 7: please forgive me. You know this has been something I've
Speaker 7: been scared of since I was a little girl, and
Speaker 7: I've always was scared I was going to fail, and then.
Speaker 1: I did, having to sing at the third party debate.
Speaker 1: That's what you've been scared of since you're a little girl.
Speaker 4: I tell you what.
Speaker 3: On ESPN five, you will get a chance to work
Speaker 3: your way back to C Span two.
Speaker 1: That was your dream. That's a good question, Michael.
Speaker 6: As a young singer, I someday pictured myself not at
Speaker 6: the center of the Super Bowl singing the national anthem,
Speaker 6: but in front of the Green Party candidate at the
Speaker 6: third party debate.
Speaker 2: Also not worried about dropping the F bomb, is more
Speaker 2: concerned about messing up the national anthem.
Speaker 4: Right, if you.
Speaker 3: Quit yourself well on ESPN five, we've booked you for
Speaker 3: QVC B and if that goes well, perhaps perhaps someday
Speaker 3: again you will taste the sweet nectar of singing on
Speaker 3: c Span two.
Speaker 1: Oh Loomis, Oh the QVC. We're gonna have you sing
Speaker 1: the national anthem for the release of the but jeweled
Speaker 1: Spatulas that we're going to sell it to aim.
Speaker 3: I had always thought I would sing the national anthem
Speaker 3: at a sporting event, and I never did, And at
Speaker 3: this point. I have no interest in it anymore, but
Speaker 3: I do always your dreams, Well, I know I did.
Speaker 3: Our friend Pat Walsh did. Didn't he at Raley in
Speaker 3: Sacramento for the baseball game? Yeah, Triple A Rivercats.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Which it takes guts, Yeah, absolutely does, absolutely does, because
Speaker 1: you're you're all alone and you're exposed. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was just I did a little profit loss analysis
Speaker 3: and I thought, all right, if I absolutely nail it, knock.
Speaker 4: It out of the park, if you'll forgive the metaphor,
Speaker 4: what good does it do?
Speaker 1: Nobody will think about it ever again?
Speaker 4: And what are the chances of effing it up? A
Speaker 4: little bit?
Speaker 3: You get dry mouth, you get a little nervous, you
Speaker 3: got the echo coming back at you. I thought, no, no,
Speaker 3: it's a car wreck waiting to happen.
Speaker 1: That's funny. I've thought about it myself too, not actually
Speaker 1: doing it, but like if I were doing it, I'd
Speaker 1: be more concerned about getting the words messed up than
Speaker 1: it in the note. I would think, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: so focused on this, I'm gonna forget the words. And
Speaker 1: that's that's Yes, that's a real embarrassment there too. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can really, really make yourself look bad. You start
Speaker 1: getting the words wrong.
Speaker 3: And plus, Katie, I don't know if have you ever
Speaker 3: been a musician.
Speaker 4: Have you ever played an instrument?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I play guitar.
Speaker 4: Oh okay. Have you ever.

Speaker 3: really well? Yeah, because it's inevitable if you start thinking
Speaker 3: in that it's over if you have a certain sort
Speaker 3: of brain.

Speaker 3: And I have fought that every bar I have played
Speaker 3: since I was like eight years old of music. Focus, Joe, focus,
Speaker 3: I am focusing, and this is going really hot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's over exactly.
Speaker 2: I used to make videos of myself playing guitar and singing.

Speaker 2: like toast awful starting over. He screwed something up and.
Speaker 8: I just see me, Oh Sie, can you ramparts? I
Speaker 8: mean like right out of the gate.
Speaker 1: I just start saying or over and over again or
Speaker 1: or the more sweet.
Speaker 3: Somebody helped me out because everybody sing, let's do this
Speaker 3: as a group tonight. Yeah, who needs the stress?
Speaker 7: Huh.
