What's that? You're stuck in a house having a meal with people you'd rather avoid and need something to be thankful for? Well bust out those ear buds and be thankful that your Uncle Derek and Papa Dave have a new FAB 15 for you! This week we're counting down our FAB 15 Band of the 1990s!

50 min - A NON-EPISODE of Political and Religious Dissent
This IS NOT a standard episode of Empty Checking. If you are unfamiliar with the show, this is not a good starting point. This upload is my reaction to the recent election in America and also includes my thoughts on the Christian Church and its relationship to politics. This is VERY FAR REMOVED from the typical, fun nature of this show. But I felt like it needed to be said and I needed to make my position clear, as the person behind this podcast.
If you want to skip this one, I more than understand. But I think there are probably some of you who really need to hear it.Also, I've been suffering from walking pneumonia and you can definitely hear that in my voice in this upload. Sorry about all the inhaling that gets more and more pronounced as the talk goes on.
Thanks.
-Uncle Derek
