Ep. 35: Inauguration Special

Episode Summary

Natalie and Mike relive some awesome and loathsome moments from past presidential inaugurations--and, with the help of a special guest who purports to be an expert on such matters, explore the uncertainty and anxiety gripping a divided nation as it prepares for a (hopefully) peaceful transition of power.

Episode Notes

After Mike recounts some of his previous inauguration-viewing experiences, including the cataclysmic coalescence of his sporting and electoral nightmares, he and Natalie welcome a special guest who claims to know a great deal about swearing-in ceremonies, peaceful transitions of power and a whole lot of other subjects. We cover charged topics ranging from the crowd size at the 2017 inauguration to President Trump’s refusal to attend this year’s event to the challenges facing President-Elect Biden to the Chicago Bears’ quarterback situation… and finish off with some hope and change.
