I'm Jake Brennan, and on my podcast, Disgraceland, I tell the stories behind music's biggest names, the moments that changed music history forever. Sonic Youth was cool, but was the band cooler than the couple on the cover of their album, Goo? Cool enough to escape the glare of the international paparazzi? Cool enough to escape murder?

We figured there was only one thing to do. We must invite Michael Buble on the podcast, and we want to know what's on his sexy time playlist.
You know, I did an interview, and they're like, have you heard about this Jonas Brothers thing?
And they're like, what did you think of it? And I was like, well, I mean, it's reciprocal. We talk about Kevin's confession, Michael's reaction, and a whole lot more. Our conversation with Michael Buble is out now. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to Super Tuesdays. I'm Chris Lizza. That's Chuck Todd. We are ready to go. Chuck, by the way, Super Tuesdays, Spotify, iHeart, Apple, anywhere you get your podcasts, subscribe and like and comment. Am I thinking of anything else, Chuck? Subscribe, like, comment.
All of it. Subscribe and like. Do all of it. You do your stuff. You do my stuff. You do Super Tuesday. If it's Tuesday. We I like to say somebody's voting somewhere. Usually now, every Tuesday seems to be a brand new special filing deadline on behalf of a replacement Senate candidate. We now have South Carolina. I was going to say we now have two says it's a who says we're going to have a boring summer. Right. Two primaries that we didn't have literally two and a half weeks ago. All right. We've got a firehouse primary in Maine of sorts. Convention-y.
Yes.
Full-fledged primary. Full primary. I want to just give a shout-out to the South Carolina legislature. I love the fact that this was just laid out here very specifically.
They had it all planned out.
It is two Tuesdays after this. Then it's two Tuesdays. Then it's two Tuesdays. Now, there is some logistical issues, some federal government law having to do with overseas ballots. There might be some issues here. It might delay things. But I just appreciated the fact that it wasn't left. They forethought. There was no beggaries here. It was sort of like, look at the mess we had for three days in Maine. We knew exactly what the situation was in South Carolina.
Shout out to the South Carolina legislature.
Shout out to the SC legislature.
All right, so the reason that there is an opening is late... Saturday night, Lindsey Graham, you've already heard this, passed away. Aortic rupture, which sounds absolutely terrible. Chuck, before we go, because I think the race to replace him is going to be fascinating. And I would say, I'll just add as an editorial note, slightly unseemly the number of candidates who were basically like, I'm in the race within 12 hours of us knowing Lindsey Graham dying.
