Hello, everyone, and welcome back to making the argument. I am your host, Nick Freitas, current

member of the Virginia House of Delegates, but that's all going to be changing next year because

I have officially announced my retirement on the house floor. However, I have found an excellent

person to replace me. Her name is Karen Hamilton. Go to Hamilton for Virginia.com and go check out.

Karen's great. Karen's great. She's going to need help to get over the line

though. Yeah, yeah, but she can do it with me in the studio, my beautiful bride, Tina, Queen of

the Bees. Hello, everyone. I am not Queen of the Bees anymore. My bees absconded, so I am not.

And I was called something last episode that I feel like I want as my moniker.

Somebody said that sandwich maker needs to, you know, shut up, shut her mouth.

And I thought, oh my gosh, sandwich maker.

Can you introduce me a sandwich maker from now on?

Oh, I can see that going real well.

I can see that going.

You do make delicious sandwiches, I will say.

I will say.

And with us in the studio, having completed a full year of his 30s, Christian Hines, the Oracle of Virginia, the resident historian, the political prognosticator,

and one more year into be taking seriously, because that's what happens in your 30s.

Nobody takes you seriously in your 20s.

That's right.

Here he is, ladies and gentlemen.

We have replaced him with a balloon.

I just want to point out, Nick and Tina were the ones that kind of made me do the cheesy thing of holding the balloon up in front of the camera. I did not want to do that, but they told me I had to.
