Well Joe, that may not have been a very good Howard Cosell, but it was a pretty decent John Mulaney.

I think it's past time to ban Argentinians from voting.

that's a great idea! You guys have to save us from ourselves 😃We voted Milei for president, so we don´t have a fucking clue!

As far as presidential votes go, the Americans said, "hold my beer."

Since my senior song -- or the closest thing we had to what you're describing -- isn't really relevant to this podcast ("Seasons of Love" from the musical Rent), I asked my sister, class of '88, for her senior song. She asked her friends and it was either: Genesis "Follow You Follow Me" or Michael W. Smith "Friends."

...And Roxette all the way!! (But looks like I'm in the minority here...any last-minute Argentinian votes??)

Wow, that Genesis song was 10 years old when they picked it! And the other one I think is a Christian song from 1983... The "Friends" one is thematically understandable I guess, but was based in religion...did she go to a religious school?

Roxette appears to be going down, but late surges have happened before! A lot of votes need to come in very quickly, though! If 10 new accounts spring up in the next hour, I am not counting it! 😂

Yes, she went to a Catholic high school. Believe it or not, she had to wear little plaid skirts for 4 years! 😄

Hahaha, I should’ve put a subliminal message in my Rabbit Hole short advocating for Roxette!

Really???!!! What are the odds, a last minute tie, with a vote from a listener from Argentina! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪 That´s hard to believe... Let me give you guys some context: yesterday was a national holiday and we had a long and relaxed family gathering. The 80est came up and my sister Cecilia felt compelled to vote for all time favourite Roxette, so we set up an account and now you have a new fan! But in a shocking turn of events, , I discovered "The promise" in this show and I f love it, so I´m voting for it, as I did in all the previous rounds. Mónica is voting for "The look" though, so once again we´re cancelling each others´ votes. I´ll make sure to text Cecilia and ask her to break the tie. Anyways, I just finished listening to the show and I could feel your tension! It was hilarious and you guys made an excellent episode.
