J.D. Vance

So what you have is most of the residents here are not actually from here.

And I think it just has like a psychologically warping effect.

So you go to a Nationals game and everybody's rooting for the Nationals, but they don't actually care if the Nationals win.

Whereas if you go to a Reds game, every person there is going to sob at the end of the game if they don't win.

It's just a weird, it's like a placeless place.

And I think that's the most bizarre part of Washington.

Oh, absolutely.

Oh, the egos.

Well, it's definitely true that you have people who are sort of super huge egos.

So a friend of mine, he's actually like a think tank intellectual.

He told me once about the United States Senate when I was thinking about running for the Senate.

He said the thing you have to realize about the United States Senate is that it's 100 people who wake up every morning, look in the mirror, and think to themselves they're going to be the president of the United States.

And that is absolutely true.

But enough about Ted Cruz.

It is a place of very intense egos.

But the problem is people take themselves too seriously, right?

So nobody in Washington can really make fun of themselves.

Nobody can tell a joke at their own expense.

It just, it is an odd place.

Yes.
