2020 Year In Review: Part 1

What better way to finish off the year than with a mega sized, year in review episode with two special guests!? You're right, there is no better way! Chemma and I are joined by longtime friend and former host Dennis Kisela and 2/3 of Greg Cherry's attention!
In this first half we mostly focus on how things have gone for us in the past 12 months and what if anything we can take away from all the garbage that happened. 
We do get into some entertainment topics as well but the bulk of the first part is more personal. 

The Next Civil War

What better way to cap off our last singular topic episode of the year than with a little war talk? Specifically, what the next Civil War could look like. It's 2020 and there's still a few days left, don't sleep on an armed, domestic conflict starting before January 1st.
But is it even possible? Does the rhetoric we've heard in recent years about the political and philosophical divide in the country amount to a "Civil War"? 
If there was an armed conflict, what would it look like and how would it unfold?
Let's find out together! To arms!

America Decides: Election Update Minisode

When we first got together to do our election episode, there was still no projected winner of the Presidency. While the hyper conservative media creates an alternate reality in which Donald Trump won reelection, we now know Joe Biden was proclaimed President-elect. 
So now that we know that, we can round out election discussion with a quick 20 minute wrap up!

America Decides 2020: Part 2

Part two is a little bit lighter as we discuss the Presidency, undecided voters and we appoint ourselves to an important position that sets standards for the entertainment industry: The Entertainment Czar.

America Decides 2020: Part 1

The votes have been tallied, lawsuits have been filed and landscaping companies have been cashing in. That must mean we have a new President-elect! Although we didn't know that as of this recording. Nonetheless, the first part of this election special finds us discussing demographics, polling numbers and the political and cultural trends of the last four years.
