Oh, yes.
24:31
Speaking of, I read Rasputin Swims the Potomac by Ben Fountain.
24:37
This is a satire about a potential third term for our current president.
24:44
And we're in his second term.
24:47
He has convinced the Senate that, yes, we should change it and presidents should be allowed to run.
24:52
So he's embarking on his third term campaign.
24:55
And there is this... pro wrestler his persona is rasputin and he claims he is actually rasputin reincarnated the russian rasputin and he's very charismatic everyone loves him so this president is like oh this is going to be my running mate and at first it seems like that's going to happen and then maybe the pro wrestler decides to run his own campaign for a president And I think what I really enjoyed about this is it's very funny, it's satirical, but it made me feel a little less alone in what is happening in this administration.

Yeah.
