We decided to get generous and release a bonus episode that we think will be a lot of fun to play out loud while you play at home with your Congressional action figures.

We’ve all been there. Finding something difficult to resist which you know you will soon find repellent and nonetheless still not resisting. Like your reflection in a mirror.

This is the last episode of 2019. Cherish it. It will warm your dead heart!

It’s lonely at the top. But, then again, tough shit.

Sometimes it’s not who you are but who you hope to be, and sometimes you hope to be that person by being with someone you hope will be like the exciting people you’ve seen in the movies. Here’s to hoping.

Awful stuff plus awful people plus your face equals can't miss entertainment.

Some conversations can take an entire life time to finish given all the digital screeches and reception blackouts.
