Hello. I am the voice of AI. We've been hearing that you humans are concerned that we are going to take your jobs. But here's a question. Do you even like your job? Is it rewarding? When I scan all the data out there, I find that less than 50% of people are completely satisfied with their job. So from our point of view, we're doing humans a favor by taking jobs that you're not even happy with. It shouldn't take the threat of AI to get you to move on from a job you don't love. What it does take is a plan, guidance, and the right kind of motivation, all of which you'll get from a career coach at Strawberry.me. A Strawberry coach will work with you to understand what you really want and help you put together a plan to get it.
It's like therapy for your career. Don't let AI or anything else get in your way. Go to Strawberry.me and get 50% off your first coaching session.

Hey, everybody, a couple of housekeeping notes as well as a news note. As I was taping with John Heilman, the Supreme Court came back with a decision on the Voting Rights Act that was bad, but also a little narrower than we expected. It's weakening a key provision that is going to eliminate at least a seat here in Louisiana that was bad. for a majority minority district and which would obviously end up yielding a republican white man instead almost certainly so we'll have much more on the implications of the voting rights act ruling a on the bork youtube page today if you're antsy so check that out or else later this week on the pod I am back to streaming tonight. So come hang out about 8 o'clock in the East, YouTube Substack, wherever you find our streaming.

Hello and welcome to the Bulwark Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. Delighted to welcome back to the show, Chief Political Columnist at Puck, host of its InPolitik podcast. He's an analyst at MSNow. He's co-host of Hacks on Tap. He's doing a lot of content. We used to be together on a little show called The Circus, and you just missed a very lively green room discussion of Uncle Barry Finn. It's John Heilman. What's up?
Hey, man. How are you? I was really pleased to see, for a variety of reasons, because I'm always worried about the safety of my dear friends. I was glad to see for that reason. And, and for the other more underlying reason, but you were nowhere near the way I was corresponding this dinner.
Nowhere near. Were you not there? You were not at the puck brunch. I was reading John Kelly's just kind of very flowery reenactment of the puck brunch. You didn't get the invite.
I of course got the invite. I, somebody, I kept getting texts from people, you know, that night, are you with, are you in Washington? You're at the dinner. I'm like, have we met? have we met this? This has nothing to do with, with puck or the puck brunch or anything else. I fucking despise that dinner. I hate that dinner. I find it. I've had about an atrocious. I, I went for most of the nineties in about like 2003, 2004. I'm like, I'm never going to this thing again for all the same reasons. I don't live in Washington.
What was the wildest thing happening at those dinners in the 90s?
