I am going to give you a little taste of college basketball because we're entering what might be the next four weeks of college basketball euphoria.

All right.

It is unbelievable.

And if I had a complete sports report, I'd also be bragging about how Carson Beck withstood boos at the combine to show himself to be the most impressive quarterback at the combine.

So kudos to Mr. Carson Beck for doing great, even while being the only quarterback booed when you're just trying to do your workouts.

I'm excited to see that Carson Beck going to be a day two draft yet at minimum.

And who knows?

Maybe he sneaks into the bottom of the first round.

All right.

Now I'm going to shut up.

What I'm curious, Chuck, as you think through that, I've only served obviously in the post Gingrich era.

I'll see you in 24 hours.

There are members who stay in D.C.

through the weekends and there are those of us who go home.

Broadly speaking, you don't stay in D.C.

over the weekend if if you're not in a really safe seat.

And so I would worry a little bit about that because since so much of this job is relationships, wouldn't that concentrate power in sort of the senior safest seat members who could stick around?

Because you've got to go back to your district if you don't know whether you're going to win your next election.

And I – again, I'm going to sound Boy Scout-y, but I had this conversation with Tammy Duckworth at one point, who of course was in the House before.

And she made the observation that the one thing she missed about the House – like she didn't miss not having to run every two years.
