From Amy: This episode, recorded shortly after elections, was originally intended for the morning of January 6, but was mercifully delayed. One week later, as the horrors of that day come to light and we impeach the outgoing president a second time, it's the only episode I feel OK airing. Cory Busse provides comic relief without looking away from the people. I'm going to let him explain.

Cory's take on it: When my parents died, I unwillingly inherited their off-brand Christmas village. This is how I get back at my siblings for making me take it.
