And we're back. Welcome to election profit makers. This is David. I'm here with John. Hi, John.

Hey, David. What's up? Oh, nothing much. This is our post-election episode. And before we proceed any further, I'll tell you a couple things. One is that John and I have not spoken since, gosh, Tuesday, I guess. Last Tuesday, Election Day, when we were canvassing with your kid in Sanford, North Carolina.

This is the first we've seen of each other and the first we've spoken to each other.

So I want to start by saying, hello, buddy, I love you, and I hope you're doing okay.

Yeah, same.

I guess we've probably sent a couple of texts.

A couple of texts, but not really, no.

Yeah.

The second thing I want to say is that I am doing a little experiment, friends.

And I started this experiment on Tuesday night, last Tuesday, which of course was the 2024 election.

When I went to bed early because I thought I had COVID. I developed a nasty head cold while canvassing

in North Carolina or maybe at the meetup. And we should say before we forget, thank you, as always,

to all the EPM listeners who came to our meetup last Saturday night. It was absolutely terrific.

Wonderful to meet so many listeners. Absolutely. And also thank you, as always, to Andrew at Steel String

Brewery for being such a mensch. What a great bar. And thank you very much, Andrew, for hosting.

Yes. If you ever find yourself in Carborough, North Carolina, in need of a homemade beer,

check out Steel String Brewery. Yeah. And thanks to everyone who showed up to Canvas with us as well. Yeah, that was fun too. Yeah.

Getting back to my illness.

So I developed a head cold.

I thought it was COVID.

So by Tuesday night, I decided to go to bed early.

I did not need to stay up late and watch the gruesome particulars like I did in 2016.
