Second gentleman Doug Emhoff spent much of his new hour-long interview on Pod Save America extolling the virtues of his “super bada--” wife who “really gives a s--t” about the American people. But it was the moment when he discussed his newfound friendship with Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, that he really lit up.

Before they shared the stage at the Democratic ticket’s first joint rally in Philadelphia last month, Emhoff had only met Walz briefly once before. “Then I didn’t see him until that night in Philly when we jumped up on the stage,” Emhoff said. “And so we kind of bonded backstage and we get up there and we just do this big bro bear hug. And I cannot tell you how many texts I got from my actual friends and actual family members, like, ‘You never hugged me like that! What’s going on? You literally just met this guy!”

Asked by co-host Jon Lovett if he “hit him on the back to preserve your heteronormativity,” Emhoff replied, “No, if you see the video, we just did this full on bro hug.”
