  Are you tired of everything in your life being absolutely terrible?
• 0:04
  Do you wish things could just work out for once?
• 0:07
  Introducing rose-colored glasses,
• 0:09
  the new glasses that turn every negative experience into a positive one.
• 0:14
  Simply put them on and suddenly life is amazing.
• 0:17
  Walking down the street, instead of angry New Yorkers pushing past you and telling
• 0:21
  you to go fuck yourself, everyone's smiling, leaving, and wishing you a wonderful day.
• 0:26
  Stop at your local coffee shop. Your barista tells you that your $9 latte is on the house.
• 0:31
  And they've already added a generous
• 0:33
  tip for themselves, so you don't even have to deal with the screen.
• 0:36
  Get called into your boss's office? Congratulations, you're getting a raise,
• 0:40
  a promotion, and permission.
• 0:42
  Your landlord emailed you? Good news, your rent is going down because you've
• 0:46
  been such a wonderful tenant.
• 0:48
  Your boyfriend texts you, we need to talk? He's actually planning a surprise
• 0:52
  vacation and wants to know if you prefer first class or business.
• 0:56
  Your credit card gets declined?
• 0:58
  That's just the bank calling to let you know that they've forgiven your entire balance.
• 1:02
  With rose-colored glasses, every inconvenience becomes an opportunity,
• 1:07
  every rejection becomes an acceptance, and every terrible decision works out in your favor.
• 1:12
  And the best part? Nothing in your life actually changes.
• 1:16
  You're still broke, your boss still hates you, your boyfriend is still leaving
• 1:19
  you, and your landlord is currently filing for eviction. But you won't know any of that.
• 1:24
  Rose-colored glasses retail for just $89.99 with an additional $49.99 monthly
• 1:30
  subscription to maintain your alternate reality.
• 1:33
  Rose-colored glasses. You can't fix your problems, but you can stop seeing them.
• 1:38
  Rose-colored glasses do not alter reality. Removing them may result in immediate
• 1:41
  financial distress, emotional devastation, and several miscourt dates.
• 1:46
  Remember, it's dummy.
• 1:49

• 1:53
  Insert theme song here. This is the Daily Sourcast. I give you the news and maybe a laugh.
• 1:58
  I'm Lindsay Wernick and today is November 3rd, 2026.
• 2:02
  Happy Election Day.
• 2:04
  Stay tuned because I will talk more about that in a second.
• 2:08
  So in real news, this guy from England finally made it home after spending 28
• 2:15
  years walking around the world. I'm not kidding.
• 2:18
  This guy Carl started his journey in Chile in 1998 when he was 29 years old,
• 2:24
  and he just decided he's going to walk all the way home to England without using
• 2:27
  planes or any other transportation.
• 2:30
  He thought it would take five years, and it turns out that it took 28.
• 2:35
  So he walked 31,000 miles, he crossed a frozen strait, swam across the Caspian
• 2:41
  Sea and the English Channel and navigated everything from visa issues to a global pandemic.
• 2:47
  Kind of sounds like the real-life version of the Odyssey.
• 2:50
  He finally got home to England yesterday, where he saw his mom who he hasn't seen in 10 years.
• 2:55
  And now, after almost three decades of traveling the world, he's moving into his mom's basement.
• 3:01
  I think in the Odyssey he reunited with his gorgeous wife, so maybe this is
• 3:06
  just the modern day version of that.
• 3:09
  So today is election day. So everyone in the United States is hopefully heading
• 3:13
  to the polls for the 2026 midterms.
• 3:16
  And if you're like, okay, what are the midterms? Don't worry.
• 3:20
  I'm going to explain it to you because we're all supposed to know this, right?
• 3:24
  So basically, the midterms happen about halfway through the president's four-year
• 3:28
  term. So unfortunately, we're not voting for our new president,
• 3:32
  and Trump is still our president regardless of whatever happens today. Lucky us.
• 3:37
  What we're voting for is control of Congress. So all 435 seats in the House
• 3:43
  of Representatives are up for grabs, along with 35 Senate seats.
• 3:48
  We're also electing governors in 36 states, plus a bunch of state and local
• 3:53
  officials. So you have to check exactly who you are voting for in your state and city.
• 3:58
  So here in New York, we are voting for governor, attorney general,
• 4:02
  state controller, and our representatives and other positions.
• 4:06
  It's like going to be a long ballot.
• 4:09
  So why does this matter, right? So right now, the Republicans control both the House and the Senate.
• 4:14
  And if Democrats take control of either one, they could block parts of Trump's
• 4:19
  agenda and launch investigations into his administration.
• 4:23
  I mean, we already know that when you look into stuff that he does,
• 4:26
  it doesn't go very far, but I guess it's better than us not looking into it
• 4:29
  at all. I don't know. I guess it sounds nice, too.
• 4:32
  But if Republicans keep control of both, they'll have more power to continue
• 4:37
  passing his policies, and it's just going to be the same old shit that we've
• 4:41
  been dealing with the past two years.
• 4:43
  So right now, it seems that the biggest concern in our country is the cost of
• 4:47
  living, immigration, and the economy.
• 4:50
  All really big issues.
• 4:52
  So already more than 43 million Americans had already voted early as of five
• 4:58
  days before the election.
• 4:59
  That's almost 10 million more people who voted in the 2022 midterms.
• 5:05
  So basically, we're deciding who gets to make the rules, who gets to stop the
• 5:08
  rules, and who gets to spend the next two years blaming the other party when nothing gets done.
• 5:13
  We're not changing the president. We're deciding how difficult we're going to
• 5:16
  make his job for the next two years. It's basically a pretty elaborate performance
• 5:19
  review of our government.
• 5:21
  So please make sure that you go out and vote today.
• 5:23
  This one's really sad, and you probably already heard about it, but maybe a few didn't.
• 5:28
  Nine people were killed on Sunday
• 5:30
  after a private jet crashed into a neighborhood in Palm Beach County.
• 5:34
  The jet was going from Austin, Texas to the Bahamas, and the pilots started
• 5:39
  hitting some ice and turbulence around 35,000 feet,
• 5:42
  and then they asked if they could go up to 37,000 feet, and right after they
• 5:47
  were told that they could, the plane started losing altitude super, super fast.
• 5:52
  The pilots called for mayday super quickly, but the plane was going downhill like crazy fast.
• 5:59
  And within minutes, they crashed into a residential area and exploded into a huge fireball.
• 6:06
  Of course, all nine people were killed, including seven passengers and two crew members.
• 6:11
  Among the victims were Austin-based technology entrepreneur Adam Robinson,
• 6:17
  his wife Helen Sharp, and their two little babies, four-year-old Emma and two-year-old
• 6:22
  Charlie, just so upsetting.
• 6:24
  Also killed were the family's nanny and two family friends.
• 6:28
  One of the pilots was a 20-year-old girl, and she got her license at just 17
• 6:33
  years old through this high school aviation program.
• 6:36
  She literally learned how to fly a plane before she learned how to drive.
• 6:40
  This crash made hundreds of people who lived nearby to evacuate because debris
• 6:44
  was, like, all over the place.
• 6:47
  And now federal investigators say there's preliminary evidence that the plane
• 6:51
  might have actually started breaking apart before it hit the ground.
• 6:55
  They think that the weather was a huge thing that had to do with this because
• 7:00
  of the ice and the turbulence, but it's still too early to determine what actually caused the crash.
• 7:05
  In Lindsay life. So this weekend I actually auditioned for a sketch comedy show and I was so nervous.
• 7:13
  My mom says like talking about the stuff jinxes it but like whatever at this
• 7:17
  point like it is what it is. I'm sure they already made up their mind if I made the team or not.
• 7:21
  Anyway so I walk into the room for the audition with people and there's a whole
• 7:25
  panel of judges like sitting in the audience in a row
• 7:31
  and obviously like I knew that was going to be happening at some level,
• 7:35
  you know, like, you know, that you're going to be like, who else are you auditioning for?
• 7:39
  But what made me really nervous was the fact that they had their laptops open.
• 7:42
  Like they all had a laptop open and they were like sitting in front of it,
• 7:46
  like typing away. I'm sure that they were probably just texting each other or
• 7:50
  like texting their mom or whatever, because I've been on that side of the table too.
• 7:55
  But it still made me a lot more nervous.
• 7:59
  So stay tuned on that. And if I don't say anything, I didn't make it.
• 8:03
  And if I did make it, I might say something. because the team also doesn't even
• 8:08
  start performing until like next year or something.
• 8:11
  Lindsay Lessons, a lesson by Linz. Life is a lot like learning how to ride a bike.
• 8:16
  At first, your parents are running behind you, holding onto the back of your
• 8:19
  seat, pushing you along, and you're terrified because you don't want them to let go, right?
• 8:24
  But then eventually you realize that you're riding the bike all by yourself.
• 8:27
  They let go at some point and you didn't even notice.
• 8:30
  And that's kind of what I think growing up is.
• 8:33
  Except now you're 31, you've fallen off the bike, a lot. You've got a lot of cuts and bruises.
• 8:38
  You have no idea where you're going and you're calling your parents asking if
• 8:42
  they can come hold the seat again.
