And dude, they have been outright cockfights.

I mean, absolutely.

The fighting with cocks?

Just absolutely classic.

And we put some highlights together so everybody can live vicariously through the experience that is a third world election here in South Florida.

One of the funny things is that some of these guys are like right out of the antique shop here in Miami.

I mean, you've got Xavier Suarez, who was the first Cuban mayor ever elected to the city of Miami in 1985.

And of course, he is the father of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.

Definitely.

And so you have Joe Carollo, who you know and love.

Yeah, I don't know about love.

As well as Alex Diaz La Portilla, the former commissioner who was removed from office by Mayor Ron DeSantis after he was arrested for money laundering and bribery, among other charges, charges that were dropped 14 months later, and he was exonerated.

And, of course, you have former city commissioner Ken Russell, who we've had on the program.

And what was incredible about this is that when we first started this show years ago, Ken Russell was the chairman of the Miami City Commission.

And he would sit there between Joe Carollo to his right.

Alex Diaz-Laportilla to his left.

And these two guys would kick the shit out of Ken Russell for just hours on end.

It was absolutely hilarious and pathetic to watch.

And we got that all over again at this last Miami mayoral debate.

Something called candidate forums.
