Like a lot of people out there, we are kicking off our new year at The Occasionalists with some fitness talk!
We're not necessarily giving advice or breaking down our routines, though some of that does get discussed. Rather, we're focusing on our personal paths to becoming healthier, motivations to get fit and even throwing in some entertainment media that gets us ready to workout.
Let's roll!

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.

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!

So now that we know that, we can round out election discussion with a quick 20 minute wrap up!
