The girlies bring you a silly Election Day episode to distract you from the horrors and feelings of impending doom. They discuss the craziest smear campaigns of elections past, why “our candidate is a great guy to have a beer with” has always been a winning message, and some truly wild political memorabilia from America’s history. Digressions include some wonderful, apolitical headlines from the esteemed Daily Mail and how we’re planning to spend the most stressful day of the last four years.
This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Eliza McLamb and edited by Allison Hagan. Research assistance from Kylie Finnigan.

Re: student government stories
Shoutout to my alma mater UBC Vancouver for electing a literal RAT for student body president!! Nicknamed “Remy” by UBC students for reasons that will immediately become apparent, the rat president was first seen in 2022 in a dorm dining hall GETTING PICKED UP VIA TONGS. In 2023, “Remy the Rat” ran for president of Canada’s largest student union and WON on a pretty progressive platform. Joke candidates have won before, but the student who ran as Remy seemed pretty serious about their platform and voter turnout was over 22% - which is a lot for a student election.
Would love to hear everyone's favourite joke candidates - imo Deez Nuts is an all-timer

My friend has a clinical phobia of snakes (can’t even look at a photo of one) because when she was young she was in her friends pool and the friend let her pet snake loose into the pool and it chased her in the water and continued chasing her for hundreds of meters on grass. I giggle every time I picture this in my brain. & also I will be a bojack defender until the day I die if you don’t like it then you simply don’t understand the nuance of it (I have a Diane tattoo from the episode ‘Good Damage’.)

If you’re reading this I hope you remember that your joy is in the way you choose to think and no one has the power to take that from you. Not trump, not NO ONE. It is not your responsibility to hold a torch for every single aggrieved person on the planet. I realized that my choice to be miserable was draining my energy away from being able to show up for my community. I’m having less energy for my friends who bring the doom and gloom but work in the private sector instead of a nonprofit, who don’t volunteer, who don’t bring food to their elderly neighbors and don’t show up for their community. Choose your energy wisely yall and let that energy power you in the most productive way you can much love to yall. 🩷💙

this totally supports my friends theory that only stupid chads win american presidential elections. smart chads (bernie, fidel, kerry, gore) come off as not “common man” enough, and although they would make excellent leaders, they don’t have that beer drinking appeal. smart virgins (romney, AOC, ben shapiro types) are way too sterile and calculated and the people can tell it’s all an act, or that these people have no warmth and charm.
stupid virgins (desantis, mccain) have no appeal at all. the people don’t trust their leadership and they come across as bumbling idiots AND they have absolutely no swagger or sex appeal. But the stupid chad is the ultimate shining example of a US president (Regan, bush jr, trump, biden, clinton, JFK). doesn’t really matter what their policies are, but they have so much unabashed cowboy confidence and anything they say goes. They are like celebrities in their respective supporter groups (and sometimes actual celebrities, re; Reagan and trump). the people elect them because they are DUDES. you can have a beer with them, they’re kinda wacky and silly, or sometimes sexy, and their favorability has virtually nothing to do with their actual stances or policies.
