Hey, everyone.

It's Jessi.

So this past weekend was South by Southwest in Austin.

Scott and I were there schmoozing with the celebs.

Well, mostly Scott.

He's very, very popular, and I'm only, like, mid-level popular.

But we were promoting the show all over the place.

Good news.

People love us.

Even better news, there's still room to grow, so that's good.

And on Saturday, we had this great conversation with James Tallarico.

As you probably know, Tallarico is the Texas state representative who just beat Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary for the U.S.

Senate.

He's a Christian seminarian, a former middle school teacher, and a really exciting new young voice in the Democratic Party, who we had on the podcast last summer in July, same day that his pod with Rogan dropped, by the way.

Scott and I chatted with him on his home turf, and we talked about what he should do to defend himself against the attacks from right-wing media that are going to come his way, talked about the primary, and also what would be his governance style if we were talking to Senator Tallarico.

The event was live streamed on our new sub stack, ProfG+.

Scott and I will be back covering the news on Tuesday.

But for now, please enjoy our conversation with James Tallarico and make sure to leave comments.

We do see them and we have been responding more, but we will keep doing that.
