I mean, I hope he's having a great time.

Some people work harder than Tommy.

You know, it's Farm Workers Day, Alona.

Those guys and women work harder.

I mean, the funny thing about Mammoth for people who aren't Californians is it's kind of only accessible from like LA and Southern California.

So you kind of feel like you're in Los Angeles on a mountain, including the people wearing few clothes.

That vibe is definitely present.

I spoke to Nika Kovacs, who's been on before.

She's a Slovenian-based activist who's done a lot of work.

She has done work on behalf of reproductive rights across Europe.

But most recently in Slovenia, they had an election we talked about last week where the kind of far-right authoritarian candidate Jansa was widely expected to win.

A week before the election, Nika was one of a small group of people who did an investigation and revealed that the Israeli intelligence firm Black Cube, which is made up of former Mossad officials, had essentially contracted with Yance to interfere in the Slovenian election.

That kind of rocked things.

And ultimately, the progressive incumbent closed very strong and

eked out a victory so we talked about that story it's a great story of just how did they reveal this black cube interference why is a group of former Israeli spies intervening in Slovenian politics they've also done it in Hungary they've also spied on me
