Rod and Karen banter about election coverage, political texts, and commercials ending. Then they discuss election news, Gayle King support Megan Thee Stallion, the effects of missing a deadline, Who News, a man tries to strangle his mom with a flag, wedding MUA overstays her welcome at wedding, Michigan man assaults postal worker, the Waffle House killer and sword ratchetness.

Patiently awaiting Karen’s steaming furnace of rage about this election. My anger has been simmering.
Long time listener, first time commenter. Going in with the mindset that we can protect what we love and hope that things are not screwed up enough in 2 years to vote them out.
I was switched off completely on Tuesday. I have never tried to recreate the 2016 experience all over again. I am a parent now, I have a kid to motivate in the morning and be curious about how school days went down in the afternoon. Was I disappointed when I got the news on Wednesday morning (first it was the Senate that reached me before presidential) I just took a deep breath and went about my day. Tried listening to this episode afterward but by “Who News” I began to cry. Maybe it was anger, maybe it was just frustration, more like disappointment. Thank you two for always being the best podcast in the world!
You had one job America. There was only one legitimate candidate on the ballot. There’s no way you can fuck it up…
What unhealthy coping mechanism are we doing today? Online shopping, abusing drugs n alcohol, or stress-cleaning? Perhaps all three sprinkled with a little of holiday decorating?
I didn’t watch anything elections related after I voted early Tuesday morning. And I didn’t know until around 9am on the 6th about the elections results for president. Sadly, I am unsurprised that racism, bigotry, sexism, and white privileged continues to be on full display for all the world to continue to see in the US. I have watched and experienced first hand this level of deeply entrenched ignorance be the order of the day for my entire adult life as a Black citizen of the US. I heard of people, second hand mind you, who were telling me they knew people that as late as yesterday 11/5/2024, were on the fence about who to vote for and I immediately felt rage. You’re not on the fence, you are dumb and I continue to want nothing to do with these people. Too many ignorant, uninformed, and irresponsible people are allowed to engage in this voting process. I am sick of it. I lay this upcoming presidency at the feet of white people exclusively and unequivocally as the majority in the US.
Good day family, I’m not a frequent writer but a diligent listener. I appreciate your comments regarding anxiety as and I was unable to sleep last night, running worst case scenarios in my head, listening to my heart pounding in my chest. Your words gave me solace. Nothing has changed since yesterday, I can’t speak to the future as that hasn’t happened yet, so I’m trying not to energize anxiety. I’m not happy but I’m not blaming the Dems for this one either. As you predicted Rod, out from the woodwork come the roaches. Blaming everyone but themselves if they didn’t vote or the minorities or Kamala if they did. This country consistently shows us what it is and this is just another example of the misogyny, bigotry and hate that it thrives on. My parents are older so I won’t leave, no idea where it would be safe from here anyway. My wife deals with anxiety so she’s completely tapped out. No idea what’s coming but I refuse to allow this to change me. I’ll slink back to the shadows now and continue to listen to y’all’s amazing podcast. You’re a bright spot through all this darkness. Thank you both for what you do, apologies for the long message. P.S. Honeycrisp apples are still better than Granny Smith’s LOL! Love y’all!
