This episode was supposed to include Daniel AND an installment of Daniel's Kewl Beanz but things went sideways so instead you're just getting me and my cranky mood plus some wonderfully honest listener calls. It's a high pressure situation! I am still ruminating over this nanny situation and also I think I had a breakthrough regarding the recurring dream discussed last week. Daniel and I are both overly affected by the moods of everyone around us and I'm still processing this year. I bet you are too. I take a look back at the craziness that was 2020 and give a little glimpse of some guests coming up in 2021. Thank you all for being a bright spot this year!

Ben Sheehan is the author of OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? A Non-Boring Guide to How Our Democracy is Supposed to Work. His premise is simple: the constitution is the user manual for how our government is supposed to run—and it's a government for the people by the people meaning we're the ones who are supposed to be operating it—and yet most of us don't even know what's in this document. He's a former producer for Funny Or Die, the Hollywood Reporter named him one of entertainment's 35 Rising Executives Under 35 and perhaps most importantly to listeners of this show, he's engaged to be married to frequent guest Jackie Johnson. We talked about his childhood in DC and Bethesda, MD, his relationship with his brother, civics versus history, hustling, comedy, music, whether Trump can steal the election and so much more.
