  Speaker 1: That's why we voted early.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Nah, nah, nah, nah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Didn't we vote early? We did. We showed them crackers. Yes,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: we did. Can I say that? Well, I mean, you
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: said it already. Can I say that? No, I mean,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you know. What are your predictions? What do you think
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is going to happen?
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: I'm really hoping that all of the places that I
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: want us to win, like I really am, even though
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: I don't live there, right? I still want Tallarico to
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: win in Texas. I'm really, really, really, I don't know
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: why people are so upset with Abdul El-Sayed. Like a
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: lot of people on social media, for sure. And just
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: in general, when you're reading about him, it reminds me
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: of Mamdani. Like the people are so upset because he's
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: trying to do good things. They say, oh, he's too progressive.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: He's too this, he's too that in my head. I'm like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: you mean too human? Like he wants to feed people.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: He wants to make everything equal for everybody.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: It's problematic for me, but I'm hoping that he wins too.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Me too. It's mostly because he's a muscle. Mostly because
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: he's a muscle.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: But then, of course, you know, you listen to people
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: like that crazy dingbat who says things like, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: everybody's trying to make this about race and religion and
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: all the things. I'm like, yeah, you, you're the one
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: who's doing it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Like, what are you talking about? That voice you hear,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it's yours.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: In your head.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Skip my man Cheatham. What do you think is going
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to happen?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Man, you know what? I've stopped trying to predict things
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: because this last one surprised me.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: That broke my heart.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: But, man, we got a good shot according to the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: polls and according to the energy and people talking.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: So we'll see.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I'm like you.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to start drinking right now. We can't say
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that on air.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, I can't? Okay, I'm going to Bible study and
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: then we'll watch that Bible study.
