Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with
Speaker 1: me your girl, Danielle Moody. Pre recording from the Home Bunker.
Speaker 2: Folks. You know, I want to start off today.
Speaker 1: Today is the last pre recorded conversation that I had
Speaker 1: with our in house doctor, doctor Jonathan Metzel, and I
Speaker 1: just want to say, which I do at the top
Speaker 1: of our conversation, is just how grateful I am for
Speaker 1: Jonathan showing up each week, you know, to join me
Speaker 1: in conversation, to have some really tough conversations, but nonetheless
Speaker 1: try and figure out a way through write a path forward.
Speaker 1: Whether we're talking about, you know, the gun issue, whether
Speaker 1: we're talking about abortion, whether we're talking about our democracy
Speaker 1: as a whole, mental health, all of these different components.
Speaker 1: It is wonderful to be in the trenches with somebody
Speaker 1: like Jonathan. On today's episode, you know, we kind of
Speaker 1: give a retrospective, like I've been doing with some of
Speaker 1: our favorite friends on you Know, what we think about
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, how it made us feel, how the
Speaker 1: year has landed for us, and you know, and kind
Speaker 1: of how we juxtapose the anxiety that we may feel
Speaker 1: about the politics right and where we are globally versus
Speaker 1: you know, how we've been managing through personally and what
Speaker 1: conflicts that may arise internally around those things. I'm also
Speaker 1: excited to remind you all that in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: Jonathan and I will be live and in person in
Speaker 1: New York at green Light Books in Brooklyn, where we'll
Speaker 1: be in conversation about Jonathan's new book, What Have We Become?
Speaker 1: And I'm really excited and honored to interview him there.
Speaker 1: So if you find your way in New York or
Speaker 1: you're in New York, come out and check us out.
Speaker 1: We're going to be promoting that appearance on our socials,
Speaker 1: so you'll be able to get the direct information there.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, my dear friends, Coming up next, my
Speaker 1: conversation with our friend, our in house doctor, doctor Jonathan Metzel.
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that this is the last interview that
Speaker 1: I am having with our in house doctor, doctor Jonathan
Speaker 1: Metzel for the year for twenty not forever, but as
Speaker 1: we close out this year and open up a new one. Jonathan, First,
Speaker 1: you know, I just have to thank you. You are
Speaker 1: literally the best and have been the most loyal and
Speaker 1: consistent and brilliant analysts that we have brought on wo KF.
Speaker 1: Every week you show up and it is just it
Speaker 1: is is truly given your schedule, all that you do,
Speaker 1: it's truly an honor to be in conversation with you
Speaker 1: every week and to count on and to look forward
Speaker 1: to conversation with you every week. So I just want
Speaker 1: to say how much I appreciate you.
Speaker 3: Well, let me say the same. I mean, I it's
Speaker 3: just this is honestly the highlight of my week. Very
Speaker 3: often it's kind of like the world is spinning out
Speaker 3: of control, but Danielle and I will figure it out.
Speaker 3: So I'm grateful to everybody for listening in on like
Speaker 3: our mutual therapy every week. But it's really lovely for
Speaker 3: me too. It's really a nice, consistent, rounding conversation where
Speaker 3: we we take things that don't make sense and we
Speaker 3: try to at least put a frame around them that
Speaker 3: makes them not manageable maybe, but at least at least
Speaker 3: gives us a way to think about them. And so
Speaker 3: I think it's it's very mutual. It's you know, it's
Speaker 3: it's maybe something to do with me or you, but
Speaker 3: it's also just the way we talk about things that
Speaker 3: it feels like it's very much like, Okay, the world's
Speaker 3: on fire, how are we going to put it out?
Speaker 2: Kind of yeah.
Speaker 1: And I you know, and I just think that I
Speaker 1: wish that more people, you know, had these types of conversations.
Speaker 1: I wish that you know, that they were modeled for
Speaker 1: folks on how to have these conversations because we've had
Speaker 1: some difficult ones, right, We've had difficult ones where, you know,
Speaker 1: right by your campus at Vanderbilt was you know, one
Speaker 1: of the deadly school shootings of the year that took place,
Speaker 1: and you know, you being in the thick of those
Speaker 1: things we've talked about, you know, attacks that have been
Speaker 1: made on you and your character as you roll out
Speaker 1: your new book. So I just want to get your thoughts.
Speaker 1: We'll just jump right in with you know. And I
Speaker 1: did this, I actually did this on democracy. Ish and
Speaker 1: Waja Hot and I were talking about you, Jonathan, and
Speaker 1: we said, so we were going back and forth.
Speaker 2: We said, if you had to give.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three a word, a word associated with twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, what would your word be. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to change mind from what it was on democracy. It's
Speaker 1: for folks you have listened a multiple words. Oh what
Speaker 1: did Wash say?
Speaker 3: You were talking about me on the show, like.
Speaker 1: You Yeah, we were talking. Yeah, we were talking about
Speaker 1: dying of whiteness. And just like one of our you know, thoughtful,
Speaker 1: thoughtful friends that we rely on.
Speaker 2: What was WASH's word?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think I remember what mine was, but okay,
Speaker 1: tell you tell me yours first.
Speaker 3: I was worried that like I was the word of
Speaker 3: the year or something like that. It's yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 3: it's funny, but like when I think of twenty twenty three,
Speaker 3: like it's I don't know, there's not one single word
Speaker 3: for it. But like, the stakes of stuff are really
Speaker 3: clear right now, Like the stakes of things are really clear.
Speaker 3: Like it's more like whatever illusion we may have had
Speaker 3: about like what's at stake with everything is just like
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three was a year where like the stakes
Speaker 3: of things are exposed like this. You know, the decisions
Speaker 3: are clear, the implications are clear. There's no mystery about
Speaker 3: anything right now. And so I guess like almost unveiling
Speaker 3: might be a kind of word that I would use. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's not like we can ever look back at this
Speaker 3: moment and not know that the implications of the decisions
Speaker 3: we make and the actions we take are just have
Speaker 3: really real consequences. I mean, there, you know, there are
Speaker 3: things to be encouraged about. And it's weird, like on
Speaker 3: one hand, like I don't love the like, look at
Speaker 3: all that Biden has done for you in something right
Speaker 3: right right, But if you add up like some of
Speaker 3: the stuff that the implications of winning the election have
Speaker 3: had about student debt reform, about building infrastructure, about like
Speaker 3: saving the economy, about like at least having like right
Speaker 3: now there's a new COVID variant, and the fact that
Speaker 3: we have a reasonably viable vaccine booster that's not ivermectin
Speaker 3: and kool aid together. You know, those are real things, right.
Speaker 3: Your life would be a lot worse if it wasn't
Speaker 3: for those things. And so I don't want to minimize
Speaker 3: that fact. But I would also say that like it's
Speaker 3: kind of like that was like the preamble of all
Speaker 3: the stuff that's coming. And so it's just there's something
Speaker 3: about like right now where like what we do really
Speaker 3: matters right now, And so that my word would be
Speaker 3: like something about and I really this is a very
Speaker 3: academic ye kind of word, but like unveiling implications, strategy,
Speaker 3: strategy stakes, something like that, which I know is not
Speaker 3: sexy as a word.
Speaker 1: Like I would know, I you know, I would I
Speaker 1: think that unveiling yeah is actually a I think that
Speaker 1: that is a really good word, you know, for for
Speaker 1: the year yeah.
Speaker 3: And so that that's it. I mean, like we are
Speaker 3: in we are in act one of something big, right.
Speaker 3: I made the joke on here before when the pandemic hit.
Speaker 3: I think about thinking about the guy in year two
Speaker 3: of the Hundred Years War.
Speaker 2: And so I used this all the time, like if
Speaker 2: I don't know where we.
Speaker 3: Are, I'm saying, like I can't believe we put up
Speaker 3: with two years this shit. And it's like, actually, historically
Speaker 3: you have ninety eight years ago, and so that's kind
Speaker 3: of where we are right now. And and so I
Speaker 3: just think that that's that's that's kind of what's on
Speaker 3: my mind these days. Like it's like we are, we
Speaker 3: are in the beginning of something big, and what that
Speaker 3: how that plays out, It's just it. You know, who
Speaker 3: we elect, who's in charge the decisions we make about
Speaker 3: You asked about global and we've kind of gone back
Speaker 3: and forth. I mean even in our conversations about Yeah,
Speaker 3: the world is falling apart, our allies really our allies,
Speaker 3: and then we kind of come back together and we're like, Okay,
Speaker 3: what are we going to do? What are we going
Speaker 3: to do? And so I just think that's that's where
Speaker 3: we're at right now. What was your Yeah, I'm curious
Speaker 3: what was your word?
Speaker 1: So my my word and I can't remember Waj's word,
Speaker 1: but my word on democracy ish was nimbleness.
Speaker 2: And it was really talking about the fact that.
Speaker 1: We are learning, right that we need the ability to
Speaker 1: roll with and stretch with whatever is coming our way.
Speaker 1: That this whole idea that we can you know that
Speaker 1: we're going to be stabilized anytime soon, isn't it. So
Speaker 1: you need to learn how to ground and be nimble
Speaker 1: with what is coming at you, otherwise you will break.
Speaker 2: And so you know, when I think about.
Speaker 1: Your word though, unveiled, you know, I really I think
Speaker 1: that my other word to two words pressure cooker, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I think that we are in a pressure cooker, and
Speaker 1: I think that twenty twenty four is going to decide
Speaker 1: whether we are able to safely remove the lid or
Speaker 1: it blows completely off, you know, And so I you know,
Speaker 1: that's what I think about as I'm like, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's also really challenging too because for you, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: as well for me personally, a lot of great things
Speaker 1: have happened, right Like, you know, a lot of great
Speaker 1: things have happened career wise, a lot of great things
Speaker 1: have happened, and you know, in my personal life, and
Speaker 1: so to ux to pose that with like the the
Speaker 1: trauma and like the anxiety that we're collectively experiencing in
Speaker 1: the world is also a kind of really unnerving place
Speaker 1: to be. It's like sometimes it's like should I be happy?
Speaker 1: You know, because all of these things are happening, So
Speaker 1: it's a really it is It is really complex.
Speaker 3: I mean, if we could, I mean the question is like,
Speaker 3: I mean, people are listening to this way around the holidays,
Speaker 3: So I think it's important for you and me and
Speaker 3: everybody to recharge right now because the energy it's going
Speaker 3: to take. Like the first thing you said, what are
Speaker 3: your words? And my first thought was hashtag rufi me.
Speaker 3: I just want to forget, like like like just checking
Speaker 3: out is a natural thing, but we cannot do it
Speaker 3: right now, like the you know, we don't have that
Speaker 3: option right now to kind of just forget about things,
Speaker 3: and so it's going to take a lot of energy.
Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, but you know, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm thinking about guns a lot, obviously you
Speaker 3: know which is. And let me just say acknowledge first
Speaker 3: that I agree with you. Like personally, personally things are
Speaker 3: a great you know, career, I have two books coming
Speaker 3: out this year. Things are like it's it's weird that
Speaker 3: there's this saying in psychiatry the negative affect gets the
Speaker 3: attention or gets the energy. Like if there's one hundred
Speaker 3: people in a room at a party and ninety nine
Speaker 3: percent of the people are happy and like, I'm so
Speaker 3: nice to be here, and one person comes in and
Speaker 3: starts complaining, all the energy in the room goes toward
Speaker 3: that one person, which is obviously Trump and other people
Speaker 3: have mastered this. But so there's this thing where negative
Speaker 3: apact just because all of a sudden, it's like wired
Speaker 3: into our brains that we want to make that person happier,
Speaker 3: we want to assuage that or something like that. And
Speaker 3: so positive affect it doesn't win elections, it doesn't get clicks,
Speaker 3: it doesn't it's not monetized in a way, and so
Speaker 3: in a way you have to almost apologetically on the
Speaker 3: side say oh, by the way, some good things happened,
Speaker 3: even though like you know, like just misery loves company.
Speaker 3: There's all these sayings about this in you know, going
Speaker 3: over the years, but that is kind of how our
Speaker 3: minds work, is that everything sucks is always going to
Speaker 3: be a more compelling message. Particularly in electoral politics. Scaring
Speaker 3: the shit out of people about other people is always
Speaker 3: going to be a more effective strategy to get people
Speaker 3: to vote than is saying, oh, everything's great. This is
Speaker 3: in part on my mind. I'm writing an op ed
Speaker 3: this morning about the danger that the Democratic approach to
Speaker 3: guns poses to the Democratic platform, in for which you
Speaker 3: would think would be like totally anathetical to like how
Speaker 3: we would think. You know that eighty six percent of
Speaker 3: Americans support background checks, ninety percent of people support banning
Speaker 3: assault weapons. Why do Democrats lose based on policies that
Speaker 3: have ninety percent support? And it's because the Republicans don't
Speaker 3: even mess with the policy. They just say, you know,
Speaker 3: gang bangers are coming to steal your stuff, or you're
Speaker 3: going to be unprotected in a crime, or you need
Speaker 3: a gun, and liberals are going to come take your
Speaker 3: guns in a way, even though those positions don't link
Speaker 3: to any real policy except for like give everybody more guns,
Speaker 3: but they're incredibly powerful at getting people to vote out
Speaker 3: of scaring the crap out of people that things like that.
Speaker 3: And so part of the issue is Democrats are winning
Speaker 3: the popular vote on guns, but they risk losing the
Speaker 3: election on guns even though what they do has ninety
Speaker 3: percent support, because the mess people are coming to take
Speaker 3: your stuff is a much greater driver of getting people
Speaker 3: to actually go to the polls than is ninety percent
Speaker 3: of people support background checks. And so that's this is
Speaker 3: one of many many examples. But the point I try
Speaker 3: to kind of try to make is there are issues
Speaker 3: that are popularly supported, but they don't translate sometimes into
Speaker 3: electoral victories. And we just have to remember that, and
Speaker 3: not that we should scare the crap out of people,
Speaker 3: but I mean.
Speaker 2: Oh I do. I try to do.
Speaker 3: So that's that's that's what we do. So we have
Speaker 3: to remember that, like it's just weird. Our our winter
Speaker 3: take all electoral system rewards exactly the thing we're talking
Speaker 3: about here, which is and then you stop me, You're like, wait,
Speaker 3: a minute. I actually feel pretty safe in my life,
Speaker 3: but there's no room for that. And so that's kind
Speaker 3: of the that's the op ed I'm writing right now
Speaker 3: is like guns are a popular victory and an electoral
Speaker 3: liability for the Democrats.
Speaker 1: While you're examining guns in that piece, I mean, you
Speaker 1: can say the same thing about the economy, right like,
Speaker 1: so you know you had and I can't remember the
Speaker 1: name of the journalists who coined this you know term,
Speaker 1: but he was just like, what Biden is saying in
Speaker 1: terms of biden Omics does not match the vibe that
Speaker 1: people have about the economy. So he's like, two things
Speaker 1: can be true at the same time. The economy can
Speaker 1: in fact be better than it was in you know,
Speaker 1: in in December of twenty twenty than it is now.
Speaker 1: You know then it is better than you know now,
Speaker 1: But like how people are feeling about it is much
Speaker 1: more important than like the facts about it. And I
Speaker 1: think that that too, is what Republicans and the MAGA
Speaker 1: supremacs have been able to use, is that they go
Speaker 1: after people's feelings because they're at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: that's what rules people, not facts.
Speaker 3: And so what should Biden do in that regard.
Speaker 2: You know, you know, I talked to.
Speaker 1: A not shankro Rosadio on this show, who is like
Speaker 1: the queen of messaging, and what she says is that
Speaker 1: you like Democrats as a whole, but politicians in general
Speaker 1: need to not spend time on what they have done
Speaker 1: because no one cares. They need to focus on what
Speaker 1: they are doing or going to do, right like, you
Speaker 1: need to be more future thinking. So great, you know,
Speaker 1: you save the economy from going over a cliff, and
Speaker 1: you know, and there are more jobs that have been
Speaker 1: added and all of those things. That's fine, But what
Speaker 1: you need to talk about is what you are planning
Speaker 1: to do that are going to increase people, like, decrease
Speaker 1: people's anxiety and increase their possibility that like their lives
Speaker 1: can get better. Democrats are too busy always trying to
Speaker 1: remind people what they've done, and the fact is you're
Speaker 1: never going to remind people care about what's happening right now,
Speaker 1: what's in front of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point, and again, I just think
Speaker 3: that's the risk right now, especially because we have a
Speaker 3: somewhat literly candidate heading our ticket, and so the risk
Speaker 3: of basically being nostalgic and saying, oh, look what we
Speaker 3: did and stuff like that, like that's kind of what
Speaker 3: we got right now, you know, And so I think
Speaker 3: fighting out of that is a huge is a huge deal.
Speaker 3: But the question is, like think of all the times,
Speaker 3: like let's talk about Gaza for example, like you know, horrifying, divisive, polarizing,
Speaker 3: as we've talked about on here, and now now's the
Speaker 3: time to like step forward and say here's our peace
Speaker 3: plan or something like that. Like I think you can
Speaker 3: rally people because it feels to me and I don't
Speaker 3: know your sense of this is just one example. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm dealing with all these bummer topics, but it was
Speaker 3: kind of like it felt like it was ripping our
Speaker 3: coalition apart. And now people are kind of like, man,
Speaker 3: how can we how can we be forward looking in
Speaker 3: this horrible situation and think about like a world that
Speaker 3: comes next that actually brings us back together and promote StageAbility.
Speaker 3: So like there's this vacuum right now of like we
Speaker 3: we kind of need a peace plan right now, it
Speaker 3: feels to me, And this is just one example, like
Speaker 3: there there are there are openings right now to be
Speaker 3: that kind of forward locking and so that's my question
Speaker 3: for you, is like, what is there a risk of that?
Speaker 3: Like then you put all your cards on the table
Speaker 3: and it might not happen. Is it that path?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, yes, yes, it is. Everything is
Speaker 1: a risk right now. So it's like, you know, what,
Speaker 1: how do how do you want? You know, it's like
Speaker 1: when trainers say everything is hard. You know, being overweight
Speaker 1: as hard, losing weight as hard. Choose your hard, right,
Speaker 1: like being in a being single as hard, being married
Speaker 1: is hard.
Speaker 2: Choose your hard like the yeah, your head. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like you can't pretend.
Speaker 1: I think that the lie that Americans have believed and
Speaker 1: what we have been afforded through that lie, is that
Speaker 1: like life can be easy, right, and like you're gonna
Speaker 1: have one year that's just gonna be great all twelve months,
Speaker 1: like and you're gonna have a president that's gonna be
Speaker 1: perfect on every single issue and you're gonna get all No,
Speaker 1: it's not. That's not how life fucking works. So it's
Speaker 1: just like, yes, do they have a risk in either
Speaker 1: staying in the past and telling people what they did
Speaker 1: when people currently are still struggling and still feeling hardship,
Speaker 1: or do you tell people how you're gonna continue right
Speaker 1: to decrease their anxiety and like you know, and decrease
Speaker 1: their bills at the same time. Whether or not those
Speaker 1: things actually happen is not the point. The point is
Speaker 1: being able to feed people hope, because in the absence
Speaker 1: of it, they will just gobble up all of the fear.
Speaker 1: And that is what the Republicans and MAGA supremacs are
Speaker 1: good at pedaling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. I mean again, it's it's it's
Speaker 3: going to be interesting to see, honestly, how this flays out, right,
Speaker 3: because I think every time Trump says like I'm going
Speaker 3: to be a dictator on day one, to me, it
Speaker 3: makes really palpable for people like to me, that just
Speaker 3: seems like, I know, we're far gone, We're not that
Speaker 3: far gone that I feel like somebody saying I'm going
Speaker 3: to be a dictator on day one, even for Trump,
Speaker 3: like I feel like that, it just makes really present
Speaker 3: the risk.
Speaker 1: That But here's the thing. This is the thing that
Speaker 1: pisses me off about Democrats is that every single time
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump does that that.
Speaker 2: Would be pulled.
Speaker 1: It would be a clip and it would be an
Speaker 1: ad and I would be running it all over social media.
Speaker 1: I would be running it over the airwaves. I would
Speaker 1: be running it like it's nobody's business. It would be
Speaker 1: funneling through TikTok. Just pulled, pull it and have the
Speaker 1: tie the date stamp on it, so that you know
Speaker 1: this isn't from you know this is yesterday, right. I
Speaker 1: just feel like that, to me is the energy. I
Speaker 1: don't think that it's gonna decrease people's frustrations with his age,
Speaker 1: the anger at Gaza, the grief and all of those things,
Speaker 1: but it needs you need That's how you jog people's
Speaker 1: memory of who this person is.
Speaker 3: I mean the flip side. I'm gonna admit something personal,
Speaker 3: which is I watch MSNBC like for hours on end.
Speaker 3: I actually just watch the news like I have it
Speaker 3: on in the background or something like that. I know
Speaker 3: that is really nerdy, but the thing is, like, the
Speaker 3: thing is like if you watch MSNBC, which like you
Speaker 3: and I are on every so often, like the number
Speaker 3: of times they show clips from January sixth, it's like
Speaker 3: eighty five percent of every show is Trump and January.
Speaker 3: And I just my fear is that people kind of
Speaker 3: start to zone out about it, and and like it's
Speaker 3: very rarely like, oh, here's a story about something great
Speaker 3: Biden is doing. Here's the story about whatever. It's like
Speaker 3: January sixth on repeat. And I think the danger of
Speaker 3: like continually reminding or something is people start to zone
Speaker 3: out a bit. So you have to kind yeah, either
Speaker 3: the GOP is good to the temperature or flip it.
Speaker 3: I just I think in a way like January six
Speaker 3: is like the worst thing that's happened by far in
Speaker 3: many ways to our you know, the threat it poses
Speaker 3: to our electoral system, but it just feels like if
Speaker 3: you overplay it without like some kind of hook and
Speaker 3: people start to people start to tune out. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So last question for you, Jonathan and our just looking ahead.
Speaker 1: You know, what are you or how are you? Let
Speaker 1: me ask you this, how are you going to prepare
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four? What does preparation for twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four look like for you?
Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting for me, right because I have a
Speaker 3: book tour coming up. In fact, I've booked our where
Speaker 3: you and I are going to be speaking live. In fact,
Speaker 3: the link went up today. I'll send it to you,
Speaker 3: so yes, but I'm going to have a you know,
Speaker 3: when you have a book come out, you have a platform.
Speaker 3: And so I'm going to be on the road January
Speaker 3: February March, giving talks and keynotes and talking in towns.
Speaker 3: So in a way it's not like a political campaign,
Speaker 3: but for an academic, this is kind of our version
Speaker 3: of a political campaign. You prepare for it, you're out there.
Speaker 3: And so I really hope to hone my message about
Speaker 3: the relationships between at least for me, guns and voting
Speaker 3: and what the implications are the stakes could not be
Speaker 3: more clear, but that in a way just falling into
Speaker 3: the mistake that democrats fall into that assuming that gun
Speaker 3: safety has common and sense. To me, that's a really
Speaker 3: bad position to be in. And instead really are needing
Speaker 3: to articulate like what that means in really tactile form.
Speaker 3: And so you and I all would be talking a
Speaker 3: lot with me, like in a hotel room in the
Speaker 3: middle of like, oh my god, what town am I
Speaker 3: in today? Or something like that, for our, for our,
Speaker 3: for our at least when I'm on the book tour. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And so for me, I'm going to have a platform,
Speaker 3: and the question for me is like how much can
Speaker 3: I contribute to this? That's kind of how I'm thinking
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: I love it, and I am so excited for February
Speaker 1: fifth at green Light Books in Brooklyn, which is where
Speaker 1: Jonathan and I will be. That is so one of
Speaker 1: the things that I'm absolutely looking forward to in the
Speaker 1: new year. So super excited about that, and Jonathan, you know,
Speaker 1: I wish you a happy holidays, rest and relaxation, and
Speaker 1: we will see you back here ready to hit the
Speaker 1: ground running.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you, to you to our listeners,
Speaker 3: to everybody on the show. It's again just my consistent
Speaker 3: honor to be part of these conversations.
Speaker 1: That is it for me today, Dear friends on wokef
Speaker 1: as always, power to the people and to all the people.
Speaker 2: Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
