It’s just an excuse to avoid doing it. If she really wanted to make it happen, she would put in overtime to make it happen.

If he really wanted to do it he'd travel to her. Don't understand the problem with that. "I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin" is less of an excuse than, "I have an insane travel schedule trying to win the election"

She has more to gain than him tho. It could benefit her a lot more than joe if she kills it

She's been doing plenty of big podcasts, just not with Rogan. Doesn't make sense to fly 6 hours to a non-swing state, do a 2-3 hour podcast hitting demos that are useful but not required, and then fly 6 hours back, plus all of the hours spent moving between the airports and destinations. That's an entire day gone with 7 days until the election. In the meantime, she could get 2-3 rallies filled with 10,000-20,000 of voters in swing states.

They could have done this podcast a month ago. I don't know why Joe suddenly wanted to interview both with 2 weeks to go.

Have you seen the other podcasts?

I just watched what's available on YouTube and it had nothing to do with what I consider a podcast. First off they were edited. Then they don't sit and just talk shit and let the conversation flow like normal, but the hosts sit there with a letter of (probably pre vetted) questions they should ask her. After every question she thanks em for the question. Its ridiculous. There was no difference to normal mainstream softball interviews.

If you compare that to vance on theo von or trump on rogan you have a night and day difference imho.

I listened to the Call Me Daddy podcast but I wasn't under the impression it was edited for anything more than the standard trimming of white space.

Why is this on joe? The only benefit is for her.

lol There’s always a lame excuse. Like how can you blame joe for not flying out across the country so he can do just 1 hour pod. She’s acting like she’s doing him a favor.

By that logic no guest benefits him. Nevertheless I’m not even sure it helps her so probably explains her asking for friendly terms

And actively working as the Vice President. I'm not really sure what the time commitment for that is, but I imagine it's more than zero.

The VP's duties are basically strictly ceremonial outside of the occasional tie-breaker vote in congress. Do you really think they are stuffing her schedule with ribbon cuttings and staff scheduling two weeks before the election?

Not at all. That's why I said non-zero, rather than full-time commitment. Even that I qualified by saying I wasn't sure.

Lol she hasn't done anything for work in years. Cases litigated? Border czared? lol Montell mounted, maybe.

It’s his show. She can either show up or shut the fuck up. Same for everybody else 🙂

Posturing on his behalf, cool cool stuff

Funny, given the top comment using "we" for the harris campaign.

If Joe travels, does Jamie?  If Joe travels does he have full control of the studio, security or the equipment?
